Chapter 524: Mo Ling
Mo Ling, age thirty-seven. Even in the Primordial Realm, he would be a genius to reach the Acupoint Opening Realm at his current age. Granted, it seemed that he used a lot of pills and many resources to quicken his cultivation. Yet, Tianyi could see that he had a solid foundation despite the external aid.
He was originally just an ordinary native living on an island far away from the coast of the continent. Even if he was training to be a warrior, he only had below average talent in comparison to all the geniuses of the continent. Everything changed on the fork of fate.
Like the protagonist of a novel, his childhood sweetheart left him for a noble!
That should have been to the end of the tale. Mo Ling should have disappeared into obscurity. Without talent, he could never hope to amount to anything, but shockingly, Mo Ling suddenly displayed talent he had never shown before. He rapidly rose up in the sect he had joined.
Coincidentally, the sect also included the man who stole his childhood sweetheart. Before the two could clash, the sect took part in a multi-force competition, hosted by the regional overlord, Peacock Island.
Peacock Island relied on the monster bloodline contained in their body to produce a master warrior each generation. Without fail, the master warrior would be a woman, because only the female could perfectly display the power of their bloodline.
The companion accompanying Mo Ling was the next head of Peacock Island, Xuan Quegling.
Tianyi didn’t take her seriously. People with strong bloodlines had a leg up against other cultivators, but only in the lower stages. Instead of helping, their bloodline would become a shackle when they attempted their Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. If they ever made it that far.
Of course, if Xuan Quegling could absorb a drop of a Five Element Peacock’s blood in the Divine Realm, it would be another story.
