Celestial Peak [I]

112. Heritage I

"Older brother that is some beautiful fox fur. Where did you get it?" While the two went up the mountain, Wang Hong notices the beautiful white fox 'fur' wrap around Wang Ling's neck.

"Watch your mouth kid." Bai Xue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Wang Hong, "I'm only sleeping so stop treating me like some ornament."

Wang Ling wanted to say something but Bai Xue beat him to it so he just watched the whole thing play out.

With Bai Xue awake, she jumped on top of Wang Ling's head and yawned. She did some stretches and laid on top of Wang Ling's head. Her tail was draping over Wang Ling's shoulder.

Bai Xue looked down at Wang Hong and Wang Hong looked up to Bai Xue. This opted Wang Hong to look at his older brother with questioning eyes.

"This right here, is Bai Xue, someone I have been traveling with. I thought Qigang would have explained it to you as he had already seen her before, but long story short, she's my partner and she had helped me a lot of times before."

Bai Xue looked down upon Wang Hong and as if she was some kind of arrogant and lazy noble, "That I am."

Wang Hong looked at Bai Xue's beautiful fur and tried extending his hand to try and caressed her fur. But Bai Xue swats his hand away and Wang Ling could only give a dry laugh.

They reached the part of the mountain where the cave was located and the cultivators were gathered. They talked some more but after an hour of continuous talking to one another, they had to stop as it was time to open the barrier.

Wang Ling already knew how Wang Hong and the rest would be opening the barrier. It would be by using grade-4 artifacts. Wang Ling was beside Qigang and some members of the Shadow Pavilion.

They entered the cave together with the three Great Families on the lead. Although he wasn't going to enter the tomb, Wang Ling was at the forefront of the bunch.

[Being a member of a refuted family has some great perks to it.] Wang Ling was quite delighted he did not have to have to watch from the back.

The cave was emitting cold wind. The cold wind reminded him of the Frost Dragon and its taste. They traveled deep into the cave and reached a dead end.

Although it was called a dead end. There was an open passage right in front of them, but a force was keeping them from entering.

Those who attempted to enter forcefully had already been killed and turned into an ice sculpture.

The cave had an opening but a blue barrier was keeping everyone from entering. The barrier looked like it was not there. But Wang Ling's eyes could see through the illusion and see what is usually not visible for people.

"It's here." He commented and Wang Hong nodded his head. The three representatives of the three clans stepped forward and took out different items from their storage rings.

Mu Feng took out a Green Amulet that had a green gem carved into a dragon. Yan Renhuo had a golden cauldron, it was emanating heat that was making the cold wind around her turn hot. Wang Hong had a crimsons spear giving out a dangerous and sharp feeling as if it pierces everything it challenges.

"What are those artifacts?" Wang Ling questioned Qigang who was standing right beside him.

"The one on Mu Feng's hand is called the [Jade Dragon Amulet] it has the soul of a celestial stage [Jade Dragon] imbued into the core of the amulet. The said Jade Dragon can be called out. A Jade Dragon will manifest when one circulates spirit qi into it.

"On Yan Renhuo's hands is called the [Golden Flame Cauldron] it will emit flames that can burn almost everything. The Golden Flame Cauldron itself is an artifact that provides an indomitable defense. With its defense and strong flames, it is an artifact feared by many.
