Celestial Peak Chapter 492

Wang Ling observed the others move to their respective seats. Their children and disciple that accompanied them stood behind their respective representatives, and though they were just having fun earlier with one another, the plateau instantly tensed up, though the smiles were retained.
Chang Ping and Yan Renhuo sat on the side of the Seven Sword Towers. Han Ji, Dang Gu, and the other Family Head to their own designated locations, and as for the three Sect Leaders of the Immortal Sect, they also had their own place.
"Hmm? I just noticed this because I always see them here, but, doesn't the Sword Tower blatantly brought two representatives? Oh, Butler Sun is also here for the Wang Family? There are several violations of the laws here." Mu Wei could not help stated ever so calmly.
Kareem raised his hands as he looked around, "The First Mask is with me as for the Slaughter Emperor Spear, he's with someone else do not worry, no Rule has been breached."
Butler Sun, however, just shook his head, "Please, pay me no heed, I did not come here to represent the Wang Family. That is little Wang Lin's and little Bo's job, I am here as the companion of a Holy Race Member. Please, Sir Ling Wudi, here."
"Thank you, Butler Sun. Hmm?" Wang Ling looked around and saw the children looking at him with interest and betrayal, "Please don't look at me like that, I wanted to learn the thoughts of the younger generations so I joined you. I did not wish to correct Miss Biyu and dampen the atmosphere of the gathering."
Wang Ling looked to the side and saw Dang Biyu blushing, with lowered head, [I'm sorry for using you as a scapegoat.]
Standing from the throne of the Holy Race, Wang Ling cupped his fist, "My name is Ling Wudi, I am going to act as the Representative of the Holy Race."
"My name is Qinyang, I am going to act as the Representative of the Phoenix Race."

"I am Yuan Qing."
"I am Yuan Ming."
Tang Ai standing behind Chang Ping leaned over, "Mother, is the reason why she could cure because of his bloodline?"
"Yes, he's a good doctor because of that. But just make sure not to anger him, he's a part of the Holy Race, after all."
"I understand, Mother."
Wang Ling and Qinyang both sat on their respective seats, and though there were hiccups, the Congregation would resume nonetheless. There were no grand openings, only the head of the Cosmic Eye Tower, Shi Huo brought out a golden brush and golden ink.
Dipping the brush tip, Shi Huo began drawing in the air, and with the ink suspended in the air, Shi Huo illustrated a person, "The Revenants, they pose as the Great Ancestor—"
Kareem raised his hand once more, "Excuse, Miss Shi Huo, if you may, could you please refer to the Great Ancestor as you call him by his proper title? The All-Father?"
"Well, I could if that is the Elder Kareem wishes."
"Thank you." Kareem respectfully lowered his hand.
"Ahem, returning to matter—they pose as the All-Father, while indiscriminately killing us from the inside. We have no information about them other than they are, at their core Abyssal Demons who managed to wear the flesh of the living being—"
The Cosmic Eye Tower was the Tower in charge of gathering information for the Coalition. This Tower also delivers the message to the rest of the Cosmos and often would act as espionage to Worlds.
Though they were the smallest of the Smallest Tower, they were one of the most important because without them the Cosmos would not function.
"—The Revenants, appears in every world, and they possess the skills of the Great Ancestor from his sword techniques, the Blood Seeking Sword, to his pure qi, stemming from two of them Primordial Races. However, unlike the All-Father, these Revenants are imperfect beings who possess only one version of the Origin Qi. From what we also gathered, these Revenants have the ability to speak clearly, and we already confirmed that they cannot change their faces into anyone other than the All-Fathers.

Also, it is still unclear how the Revenants manifest and how strong they really are, but according to the reports, the Revenants have at least Rank-4 cultivation and only bears either three pair of wings or four haloes. We also do not know what happened to the Tomb on the Silver Blade World. Even the Survivors, like the descendants of the Wang Family, did not know what happened, saying they were on the last trial when it happened—"
"Wait, members of the Wang Family is involved in the Silver Blade World incident?" All of a sudden Wang Lin asked, concerned for his descendants.
Shi Huo lightly bowed, "I apologize, but several members of the Major Power descendants were also there not just the Wang Family. From the Immortal Creed Sect, Dang Family, Han Family, were all competing for the resources while gaining experience."
Everyone's face twisted from anxiousness, "You better have a good reason for withholding this information from us, Shi Huo?" The Sect Master of the Immortal Creed Sect couldn't help but ask with stirred emotions. His Granddaughter was also in out of the Sect in order to gain more experience from the lower worlds… he grew warry of for her life.
[he didn't know?] Wang Ling and the others who were in the Silver Blade World were all surprised by this revelation. But they did not show that expression.
Shi Huo nodded, "Do not worry, luckily none of the descendants involve died. As for why we chose to do this, I had this case isolated and didn't tell the Major Powers so we could see how the others will react. We were searching for possible traitors in our midst, it appears that all were clear, and we confirmed that none of the Revenants are targeting them. It was for the sake of the Coalition. Besides, even if they did die, we wouldn't be able to report them to any of you as announcing that any of our descendants fell outside of the Main battlefield would be a knife in the moral of the people."
Though they were worried about the situation, no one could say anything about Shi Huo's words. What's more was that what she and the Cosmic Eye Tower just did, gave them the necessary information that kept the trust they had with one another.
The Major Powers can't falter at these times, if they show cracks, then the Abyssal Demons would be able to use to their advantage and destroy without doing anything.
[She's a smart woman. She's also decisive with what she does… yet she was one of the many who drunk like crazy earlier.]
With golden words, she wrote, [No Traitors] in mid-air.
A sharp eye and silky black hair. She was pretty and the silver scale around her eyes signified she was Beastman from the Snake Lineage.
"All right, with that out of the way, does anyone else wish to add to the matter?"
"I do."
When Shi Huo asked, she did not expect anyone to raise their hands. But as Wang Ling rested his head on his knuckles, he gathered everyone's attention to him, "I want to ask something."
"Yes, what is it Sir Ling Wudi?"
"Did the Eye Tower ever managed to find how the Revenants disappeared from the Tomb?"
"Sadly, we have not. Though there are theories that say the Revenants could channel the Abyss through them and create a Portal to the Abyssal Realm. That was the only explanation we could give on the matter." Shi Huo explained.
"Is that so. A compelling theory, but still a theory and is far from what truly happened."
"…What do you mean?"
"I mean, I was there when it happened. I killed the Revenants, and burned them to ashes."

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako
