Bai Xue entered the cave where Wang Ling resides and gently sat down on the floor. It had been a long ti since she had a human body so it was kind of awkward trying to find the optimal position for relaxation.
She found the floor to be hard so she summoned her three tails to act as a cushion for her behind. Bai Xue was steady as she brought out a little snack of Beast Core from her storage ring. She began to munch on the beast core and slowly raised her strength.
Being a Celestial, she needs even more qi to improve her strength and eating beast cores is sothing she needed.
Being an Early-Celestial King Stage expert, Bai Xue can take on an early Celestial Emperor Stage expert. She can jump a level and that is sothing only a few beings can do.
"Our enemies are Clans, Ling and I do not have any limitations if we fight a drawn-out battle against enemies of the sa level or expert a single level above us. In a way, we have limitless qi, our Qi Pillars, Energy Palace, and Spirit Ocean is unlike when we are on the foundational phase. It can store more qi as its capacity increases. But, if we are to face an entire Clan where Celestials number at dozens, then even with our qi capacity, both of us will be drained. Also, having an Immortal as an enemy is sothing I want to avoid, alas, it is impossible."
Bai Xue was worried. She knows that Wang Ling was a true expert that had survived thousands of battles, but against Clans that has Immortals, she doubts Wang Ling will have enough experience in dealing with Immortals.
Bai Xue had seen Immortals fight before and seeing them fight is sothing not a Celestial can fight. Immortals draw the power of qi to the extres, if in the lower worlds, a Saint is an entry to beco a true expert, in the upper realm it is a must to beco an Immortal before becoming a true ruler.
When she was a Celestial God, Bai Xue t an Immortal and that Immortal to this day had scarred her enough that she still has lingering fear over that being. An Immortal's Spirit is sothing out of this world. But as Bai Xue feels pressured, when she stares at Wang Ling's face and feel the qi around him, her worry disappears and she becos reassured.
It is a mysterious feeling, but being with him for a long ti is enough to make Bai Xue feel empowered as she stands beside him. Bai Xue slowly crawls nearer Wang Ling and she lifted her dainty looking hands and slowly raises it and only stopping a couple of inches away from his face. She whispered, "Maybe now?"
She was just about to touch his face but pulled her hand away just before she could truly feel his skin. She looked at herself and shook her head and then went to the side to ditate.
She closed and her eyes and then went deep into her psyche. She was ditating in earnest but as she delved deeper into her own little world, images of the past began to erge. Image of her tricking those who trusted her in order to survive and then killing them like it was nothing flashed inside her head.
That ti when she experienced being betrayed, mories of the past erged and the pain that erged from it showed the scar that is within her mind.
Bai Xue had always faced the trouble of trusting anyone other than herself. She had fought the adversaries of the past on her own and when she relied on soone she was once betrayed and suffered from it.
[I never truly expected to last on Ling's side this long. I had thought we would have separated ways in a year or so, but who would have thought I would stick around? Had it started when I gave him my blood? No it should be when he stood there by my side and faced the Frost Dragon just to ensure both of us survive. That must have been it.]
Bai Xue showed a bitter smile. She had not expected to et a human such as Wang Ling. That ti when he stood in front of her when the enraged Frost Dragon tried to devour her had been the mark when she truly beca his partner.
That ti when she gave him his blood was the ti when she truly trusted him. She once abandoned him to save herself when she thought he would die when they were in that Mini World belonging to the Devil.
She saved herself and had Wang Ling face the tribulation alone. If Wang Ling had truly died then, what would have she felt? Nothing, she presud.
[I am scum, I never did anything for him and yet I carry such thoughts? What kind of beasts I am? An Empress? A God? What is that when I can't even prove to myself that I will not leave the side of my partner when it really counts? If he was to face danger than may spell doom for the both of us, will I run away once more? If we et an Immortal, will I leave him? This blood of mine, if I am one day unable to face sothing that may result in killing him to save myself, will I kill him?]
Bai Xue's thoughts wandered and her body shuddered. An image of a dying Wang Ling flashed in her mind and as it did she saw her own image collecting his blood for her own use. Bai Xue's heart began to race and she imdiately heads out as the fear of hurting her partner erged in her heart. She went out and head deeper into the Depths of the Red Lands, as she did, she faced a Celestial King that did not know what was happening and as Bai Xue spotted this Celestial King she did not hesitate to kill it in a single blow.
She began to kill and as she did, Bai Xue began to shed tears as she felt ashad of her own thoughts
=====
Three months after Bai Xue's breakthrough, Wang Ling's body began to throb. As it did, the two swords that had his previous natal weapon's shards erged from his storage ring. Then his current natal weapons erged from within his storage ring.
He surrounded himself with four swords and as he did, Wang Ling whispered, "One sword, one mind, one blade one soul, one edge one move, one move one death. I am the sword and the sword is , I kill with the sword and conquer heaven and hell with the sword. I shall march towards Heaven with a single word, and then travel to Hell with that sa sword. I am that sword!"
Wang Ling resolutely spoke and his Saint Soul that had been quiet erged from deep within his body. The Golden Body of the Saint Soul erged and as it did, it ford cracks and with a boom, it exploded to many pieces.
Wang Ling had gained enlightennt and at that mont, dark clouds began to gather above his cave. He was nearing Celestial Phase.
