Tribulation

After leaving the treasure pavilion, about to enter the carriage and look a suitable location to undergo the tribulation, he saw a middle aged man wearing golden imperial robe descend from the sky.

This was his first time meeting the Emperor face to face,yet he knew who was , he had an aura of majesty and authority and although he contained his qi , the massive spirit energy restrained still created a sense of oppression, the Xia empire Emperor, Xia Tianming!

Only cultivators of high realm could tread the skies.

The Second Elder and Xiaomei were also shocked seeing the Emperor, one had to know they hadn't seen the Emperor since their arrival to the imperial city, actually hardly could they have for any reason, even the nearby people were shocked.

Without waiting for any response, Xia Tianming swooped from the skies grabbed Zhan Shenwei and flew off.

But rather than going towards the direction of Imperial palace, he flew outside the capital.

Looking at the tribulation clouds above his head as they flew, Zhan Shenwei sighed.

He didn't expect that going to buy cultivation resources today would expose him this much.

His state of enlightenment had allowed him to cross from grand completion of the first tier of the Primordial Chaos God Scripture to the 2nd tier Primal lightening realm, yet it had also garnered him unwanted attention.

After today so many eyes would be on him.

Their journey was occupied with silence and he couldn't discern what Emperor was thinking as he remained silent.

looking at the direction they were going, they were headed north to the barren wastelands.

The Barren wastelands was huge spanning a large expanse and after flying far of a bit he came across a empty dessert.

Dropping him, Xia Tianming flew away to the peak of a nearby mountain and sat cross-legged.

This was a suitable place to undergo his tribulation.

Looking at the Emperor a distance the storm cloud above him , Zhan Shenwei sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

Calming his breath as he readied himself, while above him the lightening cloud kept brewing.

Not increasing in size, yet increasing in energy.

The Primordial Chaos God Scripture and the two incarnations in his mind were his greatest mysteries, even he really didn't understand.

Unlike every other cultivation techniques that either had words , mantras or script seal , the Primordial Chaos God Scripture was more of guide , it showed him what to do and he cultivated by instinct, naturally just like how eating or drink or walking felt a normal due process for a baby, it came as a nature to him.

With a loud thunderclap , the skies rumbled and thick bolt of lightning descended on him, the cloud above seemingly not ready to delay.

Immediately he came contact with the bolt of lightning, he grit his teeth, convulsing in spasms on the ground as he tried to absorb the rampaging lightning in five organs.

Zhan Shenwei had refined his five organs from birth and massive vital essence had washed his body yet he felt the lightning destroy everything it came in contact within his body.

He screamed in pain as he bleed from his pores and orifices , taking a blood ginseng from his ring he ate it to recover his energy yet before he could catch his breath again, massive bolts of lightning came crashing down from above in waves.

Each bolt was filled with pure intent of destruction as it rampaged all over his body , his clothes were destroyed and the only thing with him was his storage ring.

If the storage ring wasn't off high quality it would have followed!

Torrents of pain washing all over as he persistently absorbed the lightning into his five organs, each of the five organs filled with elemental essence and he tried to merge them with the lightning .

Yet he only felt more pain as they rejected the lightning , his whole body was in chaos, it was like some fundamental laws prevented them from merging, the more he tried the more lightning rained down on him in anger.

It was like they shouldn't merge!, they could merge!

Zhan Shenwei screamed in pain, he had to deal with the lightening tribulation from outside and the chaos from the inside , one after the other he kept swallowing the blood ginseng he had obtained as his whole body bled from destruction till they finished.

From afar, Xia Tianming watched as bolts of lightning rained down from the sky one after the other , Experts at his level could start to touch the laws of this world.

And he could feel the intent of destruction in those lightening, although it wasn't much for someone of his level,but for a mortal like Zhan Shenwei, it was simply extreme.

He didn't know what Zhan Shenwei was doing but he felt the laws of nature in his body were running amock in disarray.

Was he a forbidden devil or demonic technique, or what was it, he had certain conjectures about his future Son-in-law before but now he was certain there was a secret about the boy.

Looking at Zhan Shenwei stop swallowing the blood ginseng he knew had run out , he couldn't have possibly stopped on intent seeing his accumulating injuries.

Seeing as he kept bleeding he sighed he waved his hands .

A partly filled bottle appeared on top of his palm, drops of a viscous azure liquid could be seen floating in the bottle , this bottle was one of the treasures he found when he was exploring during his younger days.

It contained connate spirit dew, it could reshaped or improve one's spiritual qualities, roots and meridians and contained massive life force, it was a rare treasure and he only had this little left , gritting in pain of losing something so valuable, he flew nearby and threw it to Zhan Shenwei.

" Kid catch ! ".

Opening his bloodshot eyes, he stretched his hands and caught the bottle flying towards him, although he didn't know what was inside , the bottle itself wasn't ordinary to be able to withstand the lightning strikes falling around.

He opened the cork and poured the liquid into his mouth, he couldn't be bothered to find out what it was, he was bleeding so much, at present he could only grab hold to anything he could find.

He felt sweet fragrant liquid flow down his throat and a warm pleasant sensation spread across his body, his injuries healing rapidily and although they still tore open back, the connate spirit dew still kept providing with life force easing his situation.

Regaining his energy, he focused on the Chaos in his body, he tried controlling the lightning to merge with his elemental energy yet to no avail.

He screamed in agony as the pain kept assaulting him.

In desperation, he focused on his sea of consciousness, as he looked into the eyes of his Primordial Chaos God Incarnation he felt something, it's eyes were like huge seas of pure gold with no pupils , yet he could see the markings of the five elements reside in those huge seas , each marking was of a different color and form corresponding to the five elements, they resisted each other yet existed in both harmony and Chaos.

" Chaos , Chaos .... Chaos ! " , Zhan Shenwei mumbled , he seemed to have thought of something as he closed his eyes, standing up with his heads towards the sky as his body faced the onslaught of lightning.

After a while time just when the afar Xia Tianming was pondering if he was okay, he saw the young boy opened his eyes and his black pupils no more, just pure molten gold with coloured runes he couldn't discern.

Zhan Shenwei eyes were the same his Primordial Chaos God spirit in his sea of consciousness!

He stopped trying to merge the lightning in his five organs and allowed them wreck their havoc.

Massive waves of pain washed all over him as the terrifying lightening left destruction in it's wake , yet beneath the chaos in his body little by little the rampaging elemental essence and lightening merged .

As if feeling his defiance , the sky rumbled with response and more bolts of lightning rained down on him in anger as they destroyed his body but with the connate spirit dew providing with life force, his body healed.

The lightning before wrecking avock kept merging with the elemental essence in his body till it merged faster and faster till every elemental essence in his five organs was replaced with elemental lightning of the five elements.

the cloud now released from the lightning storm scattered and Zhan Shenwei sat down cross-legged.

His consciousness peered through as he saw his body.

His five organs still had the same colored glow, his heart was bright red , his lungs royal silver , his liver earth brown, his kidney azure blue , his spleen deep green yet each one one was covered in golden mystic archaic runes moving akin to lightning.

Seemingly not ended, his five organs shook strongly as veins sprout from them , these veins had the same colored glow as the organs they came from and were also covered in golden runes , they stretched from the five organs and gathered together in between his two lungs and the center of his chest to form a new organ.

Unlike the rest this new organs was golden colored and had different colored markings corresponding to all five organs.

At first pea sized, then as elemental lightning essence poured in from his five organs it kept growing in shape till it reached the size of a clenched adult fist, then it stopped.

Zhan Shenwei shoke in tremor from some jolt then this new organ started beat wildly.

" A new heart !" Zhan Wei had a look of shock as he thought to himself .

Elemental lightning kept pouring into this new organ and it kept beating.

With another loud boom within his body, his whole body shook as this new heart sprout it's own blood vessels, same as the heart these vessels were golden covered with the markings of the five elements.

Compared to the rest these veins were tiny, yet they spread to every nook of his body.

And flowed from every nook to his new heart, forming an intricate circulatory system.
