Celestial Peak Chapter 323
Advertisement
Gods, beings beyond Immortals. Wang Ling had heard the Gray Figure speak of them for so many times but Wang Ling has no idea what they are. He asked the Gray Figure about what Gods are, but the Gray Figure only shook its head and refused to say anything.
"In normal cases, I will tell you what a God truly is, but your path will not allow me. Your bloodline is innately attuned to Godhood, you do not follow the conventional means and once you reach Godhood you will learn everything why I am keeping silent. But I will let you learn something, once you reach Godhood, a new door will open for you and if you use it wisely everything will fall into place."
Such is the lengthy lecture he was given, he learned a lot in that lecture while still being kept in the dark. And in this situation when the body of a God is in the equation, Wang Ling does not know what use a God Body will have.
And so, once again, Wang Ling will ask those who know rather than act like he knows everything. Though he has his own idea, he still wants to confirm his thoughts, "What is the significance of the body of a God?"
The Gray Figure looked at him and contemplated for a while and he answered with a question of his own, "What do you think? I'll tell you if you manage to come close to the answer."
The Gray Figure was acting like a teacher and he did not expect such a thing. He had seen the Gray Figure as nothing but a guide, but it seems like it was trying to groom him properly. The knowledge it possesses is not kept in the dark for Wang Ling, it merely wants to let him grow and learn on his own.

It had been said that impatience leads to failure. Learning everything may just be more detrimental to not knowing at all. In some cases, It may even lead to the downfall of others.
Wang Ling noticed this point and he subconsciously smiled at the attempts of the Gray Figure, but he played along as he gave out his answer, "The Gods are being above Immortals then the concentration of qi in their body will be much denser than ours. If I follow the logic behind the death of Immortals; wherein the death of an Immortal the Immortal Qi in their body will gather in their hearts and turn into an Immortal Core. With that as our foundation of knowledge, is there something closed called a [God Core]?"
Wang Ling's deduction was logical. Basing everything he spoke on what little knowledge and information he had regarding Immortals and Gods, Wang Ling managed to create believable and quite frankly plausible knowledge.
Sadly, the Gray Figure said otherwise, "Close but not enough, the idea of a God Core is good and there should be one as well. But even if there isn't, the whole body of a God is a treasure. When a God dies, each part of its body will become a God Artifact."
Wang Ling was enlightened and confirming that there is indeed a God Core is something of a bonus Wang Ling was not expecting. He had experienced the Immortal Core's potency, what about a God Core? Will it bring his cultivation to God Realm in one jump? Wang Ling did not know.
But he was sure that it should give him quite a leap in his cultivation. With his motivation rising, Wang Ling sped up his travel and soon enough he caught sight of a giant door t about twenty meters large.

A giant door made of black material Wang Ling does not know of. Observing the Black Door, Wang Ling found the presence it gave off is especially oppressive. Such a wondrous material this was that it made him take one step back.
"This is Black Essence Steel. Found only in the deepest parts of Lower Hell, it is a material that is rare even in Hell. It does not have any use other than being extremely sturdy and looking oppressive."
The Gray Figure's words gave Wang Ling an idea. What if I take that away? He thought to himself.
"Don't even try taking it away. Even a Low-God will find taking it away a hassle on those guys can lift up to 10,000,000 kilograms at their pinnacle." Sensing his thoughts, the Gray Figure immediately warned him about doing anything useless and unnecessary.
Wang Ling did think it might become useful if he can smelt it and use it as an ingredient as a way to make his sword even heavier but it seems like that would be impossible.
Approaching the door, Wang Ling was ready to fail on trying to open the door. It was said to be heavy so he expected it to be hard, but as he placed his hands on the surface of the black door, the door slowly opened with a creaking sound reverberating in the empty room.
The door fully opened and Wang Ling found something truly interesting. The room in front of him was a square and all four sides had a giant door as its entrance. The room was spacious and golden in color. The room was nearly blinding.
In the middle of the room, there was a square black platform made from the same material as the door. The platform was large and from all sides, it had ten steps in total.
The Black Essence Steel had been prevalent to this Mesas fellow, Wang Ling reckoned it must have something to do with his legacy.
On the platform, there was coffin made of Black Essence Steel. It seemed utterly bizarre to see something like that but Wang Ling has no problem with it and just entered the room. The room he was in was spacious so his every steps echoed inside.
When he finally stopped in front of the platform, Wang Ling lowered his head to find a mat laid down. The mat was made with dark materials, but it was not Dark Essence Steel.
He ignored it and attempted to step onto the platform. But as soon as a single step was taken, Wang Ling felt an enormous pressure boring down upon his body. And a strong gust of wind swept him up his feet and blew him away.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
