Anomaly

At their table , Xiaomei and qing'er were unfazed by their confrontation.

Did these people think Zhan Wei was a pushover.

On the stage Zhan Wei faced Chen Feng calmly as he brought out his spear from his ring.

The long great spear stood above 2 meters by his side , it's broad sharp blade glistening with cold light.

A eunuch officiated from the side.

Immediately the fight began , With his meridian opening cultivation Chen Feng began imbued his spirit Sword with his qi .

Compared to the Innate realm where one's qi sea was opened and the flow of qi could be circulated round the body easily.

The qi of a meridian opening cultivation was very limited depending on the amount of meridians opened but that didn't mean it was weak.

Zhan Wei watched, obviously not interested in disturbing the process.

According to the levels of classification, the meridian opening realm had the human , earth and heaven corresponding to the opening of the 12 main meridians, 8 extraordinary meridians and the heaven meridian consecutively.

Chen Feng had opened his 12 main meridians and 5 of his 8 extraordinary meridians.

The rest could not understand, why Zhan Wei watched as Chen Feng kept imbuing his sword with qi.

Chen Feng also had a look of mockery on his face .

After a while the long sword in his hands took a white hue , the spirit qi wrapped around it and it started to buzz .

Zhan Wei watched on.

When he felt like the later had accumulated his qi to the peak .

He raised his spear and slashed downwards slowly.

In response, Chen Feng raised his sword to parry the strike.

Immediately the sword came in contact with the spear , Chen Feng felt a terrifying force weigh down on him .

His face froze in shock , he grit his teeth as he pushed his qi to the maximum, yet as the spear came down he came down with it .

His right hand felt so numb he had to join his other hand yet the descent of the spear never stopped.

That simple spear strike contained a terrifying might that brought him to his knees .

Looking at the kneeling Chen Feng , everyone in the hall gasped for breadth .

"What kind of terrifying strength was that!".

Although they weren't on the stage, based on cracked floor that extended from Chen Feng knees to the edge of the stage.

Everyone felt if  Zhan Wei had allowed his spear to continue, Chen feng would have been cleaved into two.

On the stage, Chen Feng had a look of shock and fear on his face.

"That was just a simple strike?".

Looking at the ashen kneeling youth , Zhan Wei retracted his spear and walked to his seat.

.....

On a cloud above the Stargazing Pavilion , the Emperor and an old man were playing a game of go.

Although their focus was on the game , their spirit sense was still monitoring everything going on in the banquet.

Yet the eyes never left the board .... Until .

The Emperor looked down from the cloud .

" What sort of physical strength is that !".

The old man beside him also surprised.

" Your Majesty , this kid is rather strong , he also has good control of his strength ".

"It's a pity , his meridians are crippled ".

The Emperor looking up from the banquet, and faced the old man.

" Ye Mo , you have followed me before the time of the Great war , we have come across some many things yet when have we ever seen or heard a new born baby trigger an heavenly tribulation".

Immediately Ye Mo became shocked , compared to others who taught the Eastern region was big , he had fought along side the Emperor during the Great war centuries ago, even before then they had explored the world together what had they not seen.

Demons , Great experts who could move mountains , Powerful immortal sects, Ancient cultivation clans, all sorts of dangerous places and geniuses.

Yet he had never heard of something similar to what the Emperor mentioned.

" I'm afraid the Imperial consort , I casually chose is not that simple ".

When the Emperor choose Zhan Wei as the Imperial consort , it was due to political reasons and the fact that he could not cultivate hence he or his allies would not be a treat to the throne.

Although the Emperor didn't continue, he still had deep considerations in his mind , he didn't voice out.

Cultivation was an act that went against the heavens so heavenly tribulations descend as cultivations ascend to an higher realm.

Yet for someone or something to attract heavenly tribulation from birth , it meant it went against the heavenly Dao.

Even if it was a genius that was a born , what would follow would be a heavenly phenomenon.

For example when , Xia Yunzi was born , purple clouds surrounded the imperial capital to herald her birth , all her meridians were all ready opened and she had already entered the innate realm.

According to what he knew , the heavenly tribulation that descending on Zhan Wei had clearly wanted to take his life.

How he survived was an anomaly , he  didn't put much thought to Zhan Wei at first.

After all,  he was just a political tool , but since he was to be the Imperial consort he had him investigated , that was when he found out.

As the Emperor, he was privy to information even in the Zhan clan.

Recalling the terrifying tribulation that descended in the barren wastelands years ago.

Was that the tribulation of a baby , he had actually thought it was either a cultivator , wild beast or the birth of a treasure.

Yet what baffled him was , the only strange thing about Zhan Wei was his appetite and divine strength.

He had swept his spirit sense at him so many times and could not find anything unusual..

Ye Mo watched the Emperor who was clearly deep in thought , he felt there was more than the Emperor was letting out.

....

The rest of the banquet proceeded normally

Xia Yunzi kept taking glances at Zhan Wei , he just kept eating and drinking, watching like a spectator ,  he was so calm like he hadn't just almost destroyed Chen Feng.

After a while she drew her gaze and looked at Chen Feng who was seated at one corner.

His arms was bandaged as he talked to a lean handsome youth , this youth had a charming face and carried an aura of authority.

At the table Chen Feng could be seen telling the youth " Young Master , I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your request".

Seeing the youth Chen Feng was talking to , she furrowed her brows " Chen Hong ".

As if feeling her gaze , the youth turned towards her and smiled.

Chen Hong was the young master of the Chen Clan and one of the most prominent member of the younger generation in the capital.

But why was he against Zhan Wei.
