NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: True Element Realm
I was able to rent out a large cultivation chamber room for myself this time. I spent 6 months practicing. My strength rose by multiple levels over that time. I decided to come out of the room for my promotion. I was the Palaces Masters Direct Disciple. I had to be a beacon of sorts. Someone who showed the way. Be the model example.
"Hey look there! Isn't that the Palace Masters Disciple?" someone in the small crowd said.
"Yeah I think it is. This must have been where he has been for the last while." another person said, eyeing me.
"What is he doing? Doesn't it look like he is about to break through?" another person said.
"The energy fluctuations are insane. Is this what a true peak separation and reunion realm is capable of?" someone else asked, with a bead of sweat dropping from their brow.
I sat down and began my breakthrough. And without missing a beat the heavenly tribulation appeared in the sky and swelled with a mighty degree of strength.
"Senior brother this storm. Could it be?" a girl asked her brother.
"I think it might be. That energy signature feels similar to that little brother." he said.
They hurried to the plaza where my breakthrough was happening. There were a bunch of little murmurs going on. None of it disturbed my peace. Though one did stand out.
"How can this be a storm for a True Element!? Even my Immortal Ascension storm wasn't this powerful." one said.
"I'm afraid this breakthrough will end in failure. This disciple will likely die." another replied.
"You know what you're on! I bet 10000 low rank saint crystals he will survive." the first dude said.
I smirked knowing that someone was going to be owing me a small favor later. At that moment the storm doubled in size. It was as if the heavens themselves wanted in on this bet. I on the other hand knew better. That was my father Yang Kai forcing the storm to grow to the limit of what I can handle.
"Seems like this time is going to be… electrifying." I said softly.
In a room somewhere Yang Kai fell on his back making a loud thud.
"Team Leader is everything alright?" Feng Ying said, rushing in worried.
"Oh I'm fine. There is a young man in my small universe with an… interesting idea of humor. But that aside since you're here let's go together. I need to pick up a variety of things from the War preparation palace." Yang Kai said, standing up and wiping off the dirt.
"Is it the one you accidentally put inside a young woman?" Feng Ying Giggled. "How are you going to explain that to your wives?" she added.
"I'm still working that out. Let's just focus on the present for now." Yang Kai said, as they walked.
Back in the plaza where I was. The Storm was now full and ready for my breakthrough. However something was noticeably different. I continued to breathe normally meanwhile the lighting began to strike down with great ferocity. However, I didn't feel hurt in the slightest. Rather I felt relieved, relaxed, and powerful.
With each strike a clap resounded throughout the whole of the Palace. Wind rushed and swirled. Reports of small tornados appearing outside the Palace. Yet I was perfectly fine. Rather my strength only kept rising.
"How is this possible!" someone shouted.
"I have no idea! But this is amazing. If he survives this storm tribulation it would be fair to say he is a genius among the best of geniuses." another replied.
The deacons of the Palace came and put up barriers to protect the bystanders. No one knew just how massive this storm would actually be. Much less myself. And it just kept on going. I had already finished breaking into the True Element Realm. But the strength of the storm was still present. Guess I can chalk this one up to fathers intervention in this matter. Thunder crashes and Lightning Strikes continued for over a day straight.
Then the storm grew once more and filled with even more power. It condensed all of its power down into one bolt so jam packed with power, it was more like a beam. This one bolt actually stung a little bit. It had exceeded the amount of power I could manipulate into my own power. After bathing in the light coming from this I had actually broken through to the second layer True Element realm. Not only that but my cultivation had been consolidated.
"Good job my Disciple. You have thoroughly freaked everyone out." Master Feng said, once she appeared, then sighed. "Next time do your breakthrough far away from everything." she added.
"Yes master! This disciple apologies for the incident. Now that I know just how strong my breakthroughs will be, I'll do them far away from others." I said, bowing respectfully.
"Still you're only 6 years old and you're a second layer True Element Realm. Your growth is extraordinary. I look forward to seeing what you pull off in the future. Though this does leave me in a sticky situation." Master Feng said, looking around the area for suitable individuals.
"What kind of a sticky situation is Master talking about?" I asked, actually confused.
"I have to find a suitable woman for you! And you go and have a storm nearly as strong as a breaking through to the Transcendent Realm. I'm afraid there is no one among your generation who is a good match." Master Feng lamented momentarily.
"Ahahaha, something like that can wait for a while." I said.
"True, but I won't fail in this matter. Why don't you go and take some tasks from the contribution hall. This master will sort through this mess." Master Feng said.
"Thank you master! Master is the best!" I said, before darting off.
"He really is a freakishly strong young man. I guess that's only right considering the nature of his birth. Still though why does he have to go and cause this much havoc." Master Feng said, Looking down as several more hopefuls began cultivating in earnest. "There are even a few who seem to have gleaned something from such a display." She added.
"Palace Master, I must thank you for your Disciples actions this time. My disciple is going to break through soon now because of the sight she just witnessed." a random deacon said respectfully.
"Really now… interesting." Master Feng said with a smirk.
