was The Heavenly atmosphere was always serene and mighty. Giving off the vibes of supremacy and holiness.
The pure clouds dotted the environment below, serving as a primary division between earth and the heavens.
Above this blurry cloud was a large golden gate ahead and before this gate stood soldier-like men in full golden armor. They look plain in expression and calm with their spear at hand.
Behind these gigantic gates blurred up with shining cloud stars was the majestic land of the gods...The core god realm.
Legend had it that after the ancestral gods had created the universe, they had strived for peace between mankind and an effective way of ruling it .. Then when the ancestral gods had faded off from the universe without traces...placed the gods In charge of this universe...The gods were selected based on wits and talents. And these gods of the three realms lived in the supreme god land along with the true god. Known as the heavenly emperor.
With an environment of gold, silver, and all pure...Was set the god realm ( A higher authority above the heavens where mere celestial beings can't simply enter!). And high above was the huge golden seat of the True God, Shen, Who sat on his glowing seat in a majestic garment of Power and Light. He seemed to be a middle-aged man with black here but He was the leader of the three realms and the true God to who all paid homage. Mortals prayed to him, celestial beings give him Homage, and gods bowed to him.
His seat was the only one standing for this was his chamber. A large open room with twelve golden poles around.
Before he stood an old man with white hair and beard who faced the entrance of the chamber.
After a while, this man turned to god Shen" Your highness... The god of war wishes to see you..." He informed in a Nobel bow.
god, Shen simply nodded as the old man turned again "Let the god of war emerge into the holy chamber of His highness!" He announced.
Immediately, someone appeared before them. It was a Middle-aged man who seemed huge, powerful, and dominating. He had his black curly hair. On his body was a golden armor mixed with silver. By appearance, this brave-looking legendary man indeed deserved the title of the god of war!
He knelt on his feet and gave god Shen a solemn now "Your highness...I came to bring you news and seek your permission"
"Speak... what's it?" god Shen's voice seemed mighty and godly.
"Well. The Cultivator said to be a master and teacher has been found again"
"Hmm.The one slandering the name of the heavens through his students?"
"Yeah"
"Go...Go and bring me his soul core" god Shen ordered.
"Yes... Your highness. I'll make a plan for that" He got up and disappeared.
God Shen leaned backward with a long sigh" When morals even begin to bad mouth the heavens, they should look back and think of how the Demons ended up... How careless they'll be"

"I'm back!" Asura announced, happily barging into the house with the leaves held proudly in his hand.
He approached Master Lu who was calmly seated before his table in the corridor, going through ancient scrolls.
Master Lu looked up at the energetic child approaching.
"Look...Look at what I got," Asura said seating opposite him as he dropped the leaves on the table.
Master Lu looked at the leaves on the table and then at the Young Man who sat before him with bruises all over his face. He smiled" Good job..." He picked up a leaf "But this is not fresh enough"
Asura's mouth almost dropped open in shock at what he heard. What was he trying to say? that all his efforts were in vain?!
Observing his expression, Master Lu's smile widened" Well...I don't think I want to drink tea anymore" He said getting up.
"Then what are you trying to say?" Asura asked also getting up, curious.
Master Lu looked at him" Did you meet your senior?"
"Yes I did... but forget that...what are you saying?"
"Then it's good you met your senior, you can learn a lot from him" Master Lu turned walking off.
"Hey! make it clear! why do you keep changing the topic about my senior?..." He paused" Wait...my senior?" He thought as a smile curled through his lips" Does this mean you accept me?!"
Master Lu stopped with a smile and turned to face him "Not until you clean this place up for tomorrow's training" He said walking off
Asura was excited about it " Thanks! Thanks, master!" He appreciated watching him leave into a chamber. With a smile, he turned to face the messy compound" I guess I do have a heavy price to pay.
A good night's sleep was what Asura did enjoy here. Finally, he didn't have to sleep on the streets, now he had a room all to himself where he laid comfortably on the mattress, making himself comfortable.
He had slept well last night but as they say, good things never last forever!
Before the sun had set the next morning, Asura had felt a bucket of water poured on him.
Shocked, he quickly got up, looking around in alarm. Master Lu stood before him with the bucket of water.
"What's the matter?" Asura had asked.
"Rise and shine... It's time to start your day" Master Lu Smiled.
Asura never imagined he would find himself awake by six in the morning! This was impossible for him. Usually, he would still be asleep until Ten. But this was a new side he wasn't sure he could adopt too!
For over an hour, Asura found himself standing on his feet while holding out a stick ahead. He didn't know the purpose of this silly exercise! But it was killing him!
From time to time he would fall back on his other feet but then Master Lu who sat on the floor, leaning on a tree would give him a whip or two and he would get back to his feet! This wasn't the training he hoped for! He thought that it would be teaching him how to use his power or something. But this? This was torture!
“Why do I have to do this?" Asura questioned trying to keep his balance. Master Lu had his eyes closed, leaning happily against the tree. "This is a method to build up your calm self. As a disciple of mine...You should be Peaceful within...Calm...And gentle...But you're contrary to them all. That's why we have to begin with this" "But ...But when are you gonna teach me to use powers and cultivate?" He questioned. Master Lu still had his eyes closed" I should not be the First person to tell you that you have a blocked spiritual sense...And no matter how hard you try...You can never cultivate" "I've heard that a lot. But I don't believe it. I know I can break it" He said confidently. Master Lu Smiled" You're confident enough. But that... would only be a miracle...A great miracle" "I don't believe in miracles" Asura said as he fall on his other
The journey to the Forest wasn't such a hard one. Before long, the two young men had gotten to the forest as they strolled through its path. Asura followed Kai behind, taking a close look at him. He was still bothered with the idea of Kai being blind! But he was walking fluently and naturally! His movement was causal! How then is he blind?! "Are you coming or gonna stand behind while looking at me?" Kai asked. Asura quickly stepped forward to stand beside him. He took a close look at kai. ", Senior, Are you blind?" Kai didn't look at him nor reply but kept on moving. "But how can you be blind when you know everything, move and fight so well?!" Kai finally stopped and then turned to Asura who had a close look at his blue eyes. "Maybe another fight between us will determine if I'm blind or not, what do you say?" &n
The moon hung poetically on a starry night. Calm and tranquil. Beneath the moon was the house of Master Lu who was sitting outside his corridor as usual. He had his scrolls before him on the table, and candlelight closes by. He was going through the characters, exquisitely written on the scrolls. Poems and we'll write sayings of knowledge. He went through the scrolls under the candlelight for a while and then looked up ahead. "How long do you plan on monitoring me. You've been here the whole morning, aren't you tired?" Master Lu asked. Then immediately, someone appeared with yellow fire dust announcing his entrance. The god of war walked up to Master Lu "You're brave enough not to run away this time. I wanted to see if you had an ace up your sleeves backing your bravery" A slight smile escaped Master Lu's lips. He looked down
There were precisely two mountains located in this little village. And the peach Tree mountain was one of them. The PeachTree mountain was relatively small and sloppy. It was more insignificant than the other larger mountain that' could be seen from distance away. The Peachtree mountain was situated in the deep forest which made it further and difficult to notice. It was an awkward and strange mountain as proclaimer by most. Legend had it that the Tree mountain was originally the stepping grounds of dead gods and immortals. The mountain by observation had no trace of trees or planets whatsoever. This was a strange omen to the people. But on a certain year when the gods were said to have descended on this mountain, A certain peach tree was said to have sprouted out miraculously. This was the origin of the name because till this day, no other tree had grown there and this peach tree remains there at the center of the mountain. &n
“Oh here! Come! Come and hear the Exclusive tale of the Evil general and his fair consort!" The Street was always so busy in the morning time. In this village where all strived for a means of business and survival, everyone was already out early the next morning, doing what they did best all to make a living. The storytelling sage stood before his cart of books with interested men and women gathering around him to hear what he had to say. Such people were intrigued by certain tales and there were bound to be people around to listen! The man rattled the tale for them, all watched with Great interest and awe! They seemed to be enjoying the tale. Asura walked through the street in his usual attire. He was looking around through the street watching as things went as always. Hopefully, he wouldn't be noticed and that was what he hoped for! He stopped by the storyteller's company
Asura stiffened, looking around cautiously. His heart had slightly begun skipping beats as the feeling of being watched increased and he felt like he saw someone passing by with great speed that it was hard to tell if it was human. He had the feeling of seeing shadows... Moving shadows creeped him out. Taking a look at the dead body again, he looked. The street was empty, this would give the attacker the chance to clean up a mess, and Asura didn't want to be one. He quickly walked out of the street as fast as he could and within minutes, he found himself in the busy street side filled with people and vendors. This was more active and perhaps, secure. But the feeling of being followed was still Haunting Asura. He moved ahead without thinking back and then made his way to the woodside. Asura was later walking through the forest. The night scenery of the lonely and serein
Where Asura was in was like a cave...a not so spacious cave that seemed normal except for the installations in it. The center of attention was the big statue of the red beast sitting in the Buddha Like position with staff in its hands. Red light can be seen glowing from this statue and this red light from it was what gave light to Cave which was red. Asura didn't look at the minor statues and symbolical objects hanging around In the cave. He seemed fascinated by the statue alone... The statue of the beast which had an rd-like nice and glowing red eyes sat there without movement. Asura looked at it and slowly walked up to it. He wondered what it was and then the urge to get closer and see entered! Asura walked and walked towards the beast and was now close enough to it. He looked at it closely. He hadn't seen anything like this all through his life and looking at the Plain b
"So what do you go about doing?" Asura was following Kai behind curiously as they strolled the busy street that morning. Kai walked Swiftly while fanning himself with his Classic fan. "Answer me...What do you do? Just strolling around or traveling the world?" He asked, more curious. "Why is that important to you?" Kai asked, still moving. "Of course it is. So I'll know what I'll be doing too" Asura stated. Kai didn't say anything again but continued moving. "Hot Rice cake! Buy your hot Rice cake!* Many activities were going on on the market side. like always, it was as busy as always. Buying, Selling and other means of business were what dominated the street. Asura admired the nicely cooked rice cake as he passed. His stomach was grumbling out of hunger but looking at his Stone-faced senior, he didn't think he'd be ea
YUN PAVILION, HEAVENLY REALM. The Heavenly emperor extended his hands to the chess board, picking up the white piece and taking it to another spot. A slight smile escaped his lips. "Checkmate" The words diligently came out from The god of fate's mouth who has been the Heavenly emperor for a long now. "It's Been years now and I still can't defeat you. And you refused to tell me your killer secret" Master Lu who sat opposite him expressed. The two men who were clothed in golden robes sat opposite each other before the table with a chess board on it. They were sitting in a Little golden pavilion situated on the clouds of the heavens known as the Yun (云 - Cloud) pavilion Where the Heavenly emperor always came for Leisure.. drank and played GO. "What secret are you talking about? All I play is simply true to my genuine playing experience and not a killer strategy. I advise you do some practicing" He advised. "I wish I had time for that, But too bad I'm busy with official matters that
Prince Yu had walked out of the house to carry in some firewoods but at the same time had caught sight of Prince Kai who was standing there at his distance and watching. Emperor Kai didn't wish to be seen. He guessed it'd be okay if he only saw him and then observed before leaving. But now Prince Yu had also seen him. And judging from the way he kept staring at him, He guessed Prince Yu remembered him. ***** Prince Yu had invited Prince Kai into his little house and then offered him some drinks and the little he had. Afterward, he sat opposite him and they had a little chat. Asura got to find out that Prince Yu had been alive all this while. It ed like he didn't die after all! Living for 50 thousand years, Prince Yu was living with a brown fox whom he said was the spirit beast of Shanhe. According to him, Fate has given them another chance to reun
- At this point, I don't think I'm Worthy of sitting here and ruling the three realms with myself already a mess. And again. I don't even have the celestial core anymore to rule them. So I believed this is a choice the ancestral gods wanted me to make.It's hard to be brief since there's a lot I wanted to say. But I'll keep it brief. At this point, I want to be free, go through the world, meet new things and new people..Try new things, and learn new things. I want to surf the mortal realm more and dwell among mortals. Let me visit old friends and meet old places. This. I'll do it In the honor of Asura.Although Asura might seem like one whose head is only clouded with revenge. but in reality, No one wanted to be free other than he. When I was with him, I could tell he loved that freedom of surfing around and seeing new things. guessed that'd be a wish fate didn't let him fulfill much. So I'll do it for him.Don't worry a
-50 thousand years later-The gently sound and melody of the Qin Played through the atmosphere blowing through the pink peach leaves that surfed around the garden.It was a beautiful day for such beautiful nature music from the Qin which had its melody soothing through the flowery garden clothed with multi-colored flowers that crowded the scenery.In the middle of this flowery garden was Emperor Kai who was clothed in plain white as always with his long smooth hair moved backward in an elegant manner.Before he was white Qin which he ran his hands through, skillfully creating a harmonious melody that complimented nature.The peach flowers dotted the garden creating an aesthetic view of the garden and of the man who played the Qin.He Played this for a while before he suddenly came to an abr
As everything began clearing up, The Heavenly emperor slowly stood up from where he had fallen. The god of fate got up to Stand beside him.Both of Their eyes were looking at a particular distance. The distance where Asura had used his sword on the banished ancestral god. And looking at this scene, they didn't seem to see anyone or anything at all!This had gotten them confused as Emperor Kai left and approached beneath the scene where it happened. He looked around the related places trying to see if he would get any clues but for a reason. He didn't seem to find anything at all and this got him confused.The god of fate on the other hand stared at him as he searched all he could search. He was mute without a word.And when Emperor Kai found nothing, he turned and approached The god of fate "where is he?" He questioned, "Where's Asura?"The god of fate was mute without saying any
The celestial Dao Sword glowed in flames as it went through the electric Shield which was insanely shattered without a moment of hesitation.And with Asura handling the sword, The sword moved past the shield and headed up into the shield where it stroke The banished ancestral god by the back.It was as though time had stopped with a harsh strike from behind. The smile on this man's face had instantly disappeared with the growing pain that had seemed to have appeared.He didn't know what that was until he slowly turned his head only to see Asura holding on to the sword at his back with an uncertain smile on his bruised face."You ... what is this...?" The man couldn't believe what had happened. He guessed he had gotten extremely careless and ignorant of things around him and had failed to be vigilant. e had forgotten about the threat he had and now...He was done for.Asura still h
He had also uncovered the rather shocking mystery behind his existence which was basically to stop a feared and powerful villain from destroying the who'll world in exchange for his life.Thinking about it, Asura found it funny! Indeed the heavens were unfair! all these While they'd watched him train and go through hell just to exchange his life for this? it was funny yet amusing...It was probably why he laughed it through.And at the same time, he couldn't help but look at the good side of it all which was the fact that he had taken his revenge!The two basic objects of his revenge who were The Heavenly emperor and ZhanShen were no more. And that was an achievement. it was at least something to himAnd he could say that although he couldn't go deep into destroying the heavens, although his life he had managed to prove himself to the three realms and tell them his presence
The words from the god of fate echoed through his ears as though he wasn't hearing things. It was as though he was dreaming for a while there. But in reality, he wasn't, he had heard him right!It was at this point that Asura slowly recalled what had happened earlier. He recalled when he was in the Shield with the Man and what he had said.The man had said That it was his destiny to kill him and that was basically why he existed. He had initially thought the meaning behind this was the fact that he was the one destined to slay him or something.But as he heard what the god of fate had said, he couldn't help but think of what that statement meant. It was hard to believe but Asura had to accept the fact that he was Destines for this even if he didn't Want to.Asura stood there looking at His father from behind. At this point, tears had slowly begun running down his eyes. He was feeling bad about it all
It was as If a time bomb was set off. Because at This moment, the three realms felt as if a heavy explosion had taken over the whole situation!Starting from the heavens was the falling of constructions all over the heavens. Towers, buildings, and significant constructions of the Heavenly realm had instantly begun falling apart and so did the Earthquake increase!It was as if everything was coming to an end, It did seem like it. And from the looks of things, it seemed like they were coming to an end!The Same went for the mortal and demon realms which were experiencing equal fate. The houses in the mortal realms were sinking up and droughts from nowhere were taking over and eating people up.The forests were falling and things were shattering. The grounds were breaking open and people were dying!Those who ran for their dear lives didn't seem to be escaping from this general cata
