Celestial Peak Chapter 437

"What direction next, Angel?" Wang Ling was ready to leave after getting the mysterious still beating heart, but then the moment he took the first step, he heard someone screaming from behind.
"Die!" The idiot screaming while attempting a scream attack just missed Wang Ling altogether.
"Screaming while trying to sneak in an attack, how amusing. No matter the Era, this kind of thing always happens." Wang Ling just moved his body to the side like always, and though the idiot followed up by redirecting his sword slash, Wang Ling laughed, "That's impressive, but, that kind attack results in the divergence of qi. It is slower than the initial attack, and with uneven qi flow doing this will be easy—"
Wang Ling moved his hands, he gathered his qi on his fingertips, and then as he traversed the base of the sword, Wang Ling diverted its course and as his fingers reached the sword's handle, he had already managed to have the sword embed itself on the ground.
Face to face on the young man, Wang Ling just spoke calmly, "—with its strength already dissipated because of your doing. Forcing your body to react is not a good thing. This is the reason why we have techniques to not force the body doing incorrigible stunts."
"Why… are you telling me all this?" the young man could not understand Wang Ling's annoying, yet helpful ramblings.
Wang Ling paused, then shrugged his shoulders, "Hmm… so that's what I do when I forcibly stifle my intention to kill." Wang Ling sigh before touching the young man's chest and sending out a fist strike, "Mountain Crushing Fist."
Boom! He altered the strength of the Original Fist technique to not kill the young man. The young man was sent flying, and with one down, more than two dozen rushed him after sensing how low his cultivation was. Wang Ling was hesitant instinctively brought out his sword, he was ready to kill them all to make things easier for him but stopped halfway through, [I can't kill the future of the Universe, no matter how weak they are.]

He who slaughtered billions was actually thinking of letting them all live through this encounter. He didn't care if they were to die from the hands of others because that's far from being his problem, but Wang Ling wouldn't actively kill them because of such weak reason as being attacked.
He didn't want to further whittle the numbers of the younger generations. Even when Wang Ling went to takeover the Star Seeking Sect, he only killed the Elders and a few disciples.
He had been thinking of the broader future. Even his act of saving the orphans was him laying the groundworks of his Sect's disciple cleaning up the slave trafficking that lessens the Universe's manpower.
Killing these people from the Younger Generations would be conflicting to his goals if he kills them now, and Wang Ling may be a hypocrite but he at least sticks to his plans… for the most part.
He dodged their weapons, redirected the others, and then accepted the non-lethal attacks. Wang Ling received several injuries, but with that sacrificed he managed to stop killing anyone and opening up a window for him to take advantage!
"Angel, help me gather the Energy of the Earth!"
"Okay."
Through Wang Ling's legs he could feel the power of the Earth taking hold of his soles granting him a stable footing, he clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and then struck the ground, "World Crushing Fist!"
The asphalt floors crumbled and as the stones all were uprooted, the rubbles and the shockwave sent the young ones flying! Wang Ling cut through the smokescreen, and from the corner of his eyes he saw a man holding a red fan.
It was Dang Wen, the man arguing Wang Go earlier about to strike at Wang Ling, "You're getting away!" Dang Wen announced, but his hands failed to even complete its movement as his eyes became covered in cold sweat.

His world suddenly turned a bloody red and Wang Ling's figure from an ordinary young man to that of a blood frenzied monster! Dang Wen and the people in that room all froze, some even failed to breathe properly.
Their worlds only returned to normal when Wang Ling exited the room. Dang Wen watched the place where Wang Ling disappeared to and held his neck, he thought back to how Wang Go acted at the sight of Wang Ling and somehow became even more frustrated.
"That bastard!" Dang Wen was both irritated at Wang Go for his own stupidity that he challenged Wang Ling, and that person who humiliated him, "I'm going to make him pay for humiliating me like this!"
"Is what he should be saying right about now." Wang Ling guessed right without effort.
"How can you be so sure?" Angel asked.
"When you live long enough and see enough problematic people, you'll get to understand how prideful people works. Live long enough and you've even be able to see through their Masters… which is not hard considering most of them acts like children as well." Wang Ling who was moving without regards to the surrounding conflict.
"That's amazing, it's like you can read their minds!" Angle was impressed.
"Though I have to make sure I don't let these thoughts consume me as there are still beings more intelligent than me. I just haven't met them yet and if meet one and treat them like any other third-rate masters, I would die worst than anyone could die. Because I died the same the people I mock do." If he dies by underestimating someone then it would be best to just destroy his soul and end his suffering.
Knowledge was indeed the strongest Weapon in Wang Ling's arsenal. But understanding its limits was the hand that could manipulate it.
Wang Ling sped through the Tomb, he saw a lot of people moving and fighting each other and when he reached a room littered with some sort of red stone he had not seen before, Wang Ling joyfully nodded his head.
"I'll be taking the entire stock." He announced disregarding the dozens of youths fighting over for the resources.
Taking out the Heart he stole from the other room, Wang Ling asked Angel, "Can you make it beat like before?"
"The qi inside this heart will be lost if I do that."
"It's fine, you only have to do it for a minute."
Angel nodded, stimulated the inner working of the Heart and did what was asked of her. The Heart beat wildly, the force and heatwaves it emitted pushed the unknowing youths to the wall, some even coughing up blood.
Wang Ling walked towards the center of the room, looked around, yawned, and took the treasure everyone was fighting over.
Wang Ling left the room, now without anyone trying to kill him.
Smiling, Wang Ling looked at the mysterious beating heart, "Okay, I just found a way to make hoarding all the easier."
And so, Wang Ling found an even easier way to steal from the younger generations.
He may refrain from killing them as much as he could, but he's not beyond stealing resources from them.
[I need them as well.] with that train of thought, Wang Ling planned on hoarding as much as treasure he could to himself.
