Chapter 14: Tribulation

Return of Supreme

Emperor

Immortal Courage Sect, may not be the one of the best sects out in the world but it doesn't mean that it doesn't have any strength or reputation

It has a good reputation, that's the reason why there are many kids from big families who are disciple here

Except for outer disciples, all inner/core disciples live inside the sect

It's been 2 months now since Mo Yuanjun and Cheng Qiang became inner disciple as have been living inside the sect

And so far they have learned various sword art, spear arts, etc-etc.

They were also shocked to know that even pills are sold inside the sect in its own market area and these pills can really increase one's cultivation speed by a lot

As for the price, well let's not talk about that

Also, during their study around the library and in classes, they got to know that they could even use their Qi to make a talisman

But they could only make protection talisman as other element based talisman can only be created by those who are at celestial or at peak Spirit realm.

Still, it was big news for Mo Yuanjun, who had already made up some good amount of plan.

As for Hu Shuchun,

She is being taught separately with her other core disciples including Tian Zemin but she never talks to him.

And whenever she gets some time, she uses it to visit Mo Yuanjun and Cheng Qiang as she feels a bit awkward around her classmate due to the fact that all of them are from big families

She did try talking to them but everyone gave her cold shoulders, so she was not able to fit among those rich kids.

And every day, before they go to their room, these 3 friends use to meet up and talk about what they learned so far, explaining things to each other so all 3 of them could improve together.

Also, every month 5 spirit stone given to each and every inner disciple as for the core disciple, they are the main trump card of the sect so surely they are treated way well or better than those inner disciples.

And so far, Mo Yuanjun and Cheng Qiang's cultivation has reached Peak Soul realm are now just a step away from Spirit Realm

As for Hu Shuchun, with various herbal baths and other resources, she is already at the first stage of Spirit realm

But that's how far they can reach with the help of resources, now they really need some good amount of experience to rank up.

They can use spirit stones to increase their cultivation but the amount is not some 10-20-40-or even 100, they would need spirit stones in thousands and it will keep increasing more and more with each stage, not realm, but the stage

At that time they knew why people who have reached bigger realms called prodigy. Because it's not about resources but surviving each and every battle and gaining more and more experience

So what to do?

How the hell can they improve their rank?

Easy, just take some mission and when completed, get the reward which is spirit stones and you are good to go, or go out and hunt as many beasts as possible but be sure to not die

Sounds really easy right? But when you are a cultivator the only thing you could see just how big amount of experience does they need to progress.

Like hundreds of battles is needed to be done, just to get that one moment of experience and no one knows when that very moment would come.

It could take one week, one month or even 1 year but that too for only ranking up in one stage, not realm, so that's every reason why those so-called immortals are 100+ age

And if something happens during that ranking up moment, especially when you stepping into a realm, then things could turn worst

But that's all for some other day

As for today, the trio is gathered to think about what they should do to gain experience and rank up

"Those missions are risky ones so let's not push our luck and just hunt beast alone" Mo Yuanjun said to his friends

"But which beast should we hunt? Orange Fox is way easy for us now as for other beast's we are still weak to face them" Cheng Qiang said

"I think Qin Shi Huang is right, we can't become strong from just hunting weak beast, today or tomorrow we have to face them so why not just do it now. Maybe we could get some big amount of experience from it?" Hu Shuchun said

After some more deep talks, decision was made.

They will try to hunt other types of foxes, grey or orange and if possible they will also try to hunt a grey wolf as these 3 are not only strong but also not that strong that they would not be able to handle things

It was the decision of Mo Yuanjun to be not greedy; they have a long life so let's not push our luck to its maximum

Thus, the next day the trio joined together with their weapons

Hu Shuchun with her scarf around her neck and a sword, Cheng Qiang with his long wooden stick and a sword and for Mo Yuanjun, he is carrying his bow and arrow as usual

He did get some weird gazes but he didn't care much about them as he wanted to test something

Also, from the day when Mo Yuanjun knew that they could use Qi to make the talisman, he had practiced as hard as possible

He spends his day while collecting Qi around him and then at night he used to take the brush and exert his Qi on it, so he could put Qi inside every word

It was easy, no doubt as his control over Qi was great but still he could feel that a big amount of Qi is going waste.

Thus every night for one month he kept on practicing again and again, making his skills near perfection as he used to make more than 500 papers every night. Though they were mostly failing still he got used to it soon

Finally he had now made 100+ papers with each paper having one word, shield written on it. And each word contains his Qi inside it which will be released ones the paper is thrown up in the air.

Also, this paper can't be called talismans as those paper burns after use but what Mo Yuanjun created was simple paper and embed his qi in each word, meaning that, words will disappear after use but not paper.

Which is good as it means that he won't create any pollution and recycle that paper. GO GREEN

Mo Yuanjun gave 30 papers to each of his friends and the set off for the journey

. . .

At the Quan Residence-

Quan Hanabi is right now meditating and focusing her cultivation, as fro one whole year she had gathered a vast amount of Qi inside herself, which she herself didn't know so she is thinking that maybe she would finally step into the celestial realm

Her meeting with an unknown person (Mo Yuanjun) was like an enlightenment for her as she comes to realize how foolish her thinking is.

There was much time when she visited the same place where she meets him but no matter how many times she visited that place she never gets to meet him again

As she kept on going deep into her concentration, the aura around her body also changed.

The aura kept rising to the point where she was just a step away from her Celestial realm

*BOOOOM*

Suddenly the weather started changing around the city

The city lord, Quan Fu walked out of his room and saw this unnatural scenery and in the blink, he knew that his daughter will steep into Celestial realm

"Keep the doctors and pharmacist around, we might need them" Quan Fu said in a worried tone fearing about what happened in the past

Soon, Quang Hanabi started floating in the air (she is in the open hall right now under the sky)

*lightning*

The weather started taking wild turns as thunder flashed in the sky

At the sect-

An old man with a stick in his hand looked at the changing weather

He gave a smile and said "So your daughter is finally stepping into the celestial realm? The prodigy has finally return huh"

Suddenly an elderly man came near him and said "Sect master, it seems like there is someone who is ascending into the Celestial Realm"

"Yeah, I can see and feel it" The old man or sect master (Peng Tu) said in a calm tone

Many students came out of their room and watched these unnatural phenomena

Not only them but many mortal/local people also came out of their houses to see these unnatural phenomena, many of them even knew who could be the person behind this

Somewhere a man in white robe floating in the sky looked at a certain direction and with a smile he said "So that blind girl finally got the courage to be a cultivator?"

. . .

Even the trio, Mo Yuanjun, Cheng Qiang and Hu Shuchun stopped when they saw the weather

"Is someone stepping into the celestial realm?" Cheng Qiang asked as he looked at the stormy weather

It is said that when you step into celestial realm or any other upper realm, you have to take the tribulation from heaven.

And this was the first time for Mo Yuanjun to feel/see this thing which he had only read and seen in manga's or novels

But is it the time to enjoy this scene?

NOPE

"Let's not waste time here, we got work to do" Mo Yuanjun said and with his group left the place, walking towards the deeper region of the forest

At Quan Residence-

*BOOOOM*

A thunder flashed in the sky and then fall on the body of Quan Hanabi

Soon many claps of thunder started striking her

*BOOOOM*

*BOOOOOM*

*BOOOOOOM*

With each strike, the power of thunder kept on rising until it reached 30 strikes and finally stopped

The scene was not as simple as it sounds. The whole scene took around 1 hour of time

The whole ground and clothes of Quan Hanabi are burned and destroyed like a piece of paper but before anyone could see her body, Quan Fu wrapped her in clothes and left the place

Right now his daughter is unconscious but he is smiling

Why?

Because he could tell that Quan Hanabi has reached Celestial Realm, from her aura

"You did great" Quan Fu said as he let his daughter take rest and left her room
