36 Nine Manifestation

"Lin Li, are you sure the father of this child is not some Demon instead of your husband?" A great elder asked. He was shivering as he saw one miracle after the another by Zhen Han.

Zhen Ming's face twitched with embarrassment. He was the father of Zhen Han but now they were crediting a demon for this abnormal child.

Lin Li was about to taunt the great elder but then suddenly red clouds appeared in the sky above the pagoda and surrounding mountain.

"You gotta be kidding," Lin Li was scared. She was worried the calamity which striked the imperial capital was about to occur here as well.

"Violet Bead, please don't exterminate my clan. They don't have malice towards your host," Lin Li silently prayed inside. Her clan might have insulted her but at the end, it was still the clan where she was born. She didn't feel much during the imperial capital incident but the present was totally different.

"W-wait! It is red clouds and not dark clouds!" Lin Li thought. The dark clouds were a sign of Celestial Tribulation.

"Red clouds?" The great elders were shocked.

"Don't tell me..."

"That's impossible..."

"This kid doesn't know the meaning of impossible!"

"But this only happens during Divine Manifestation realm!"

The known cultivation realms in Endless Continent are Awakening, Blood Transformation, Golden Body, Divine Sea, Dao Awakening, Divine Manifestation, Divine King, World King, Empyrean and Dao Ancestor.

"Y-you can't just skip four realms!"

"Red clouds means the arrival of a person's Manifestation from the inner world!"

The members of the younger generation were trembling from the arrival of red clouds. Most of them were in Awakening or Blood Transformation realms!

"Have the heavens went for some vacation for this kid to do one heaven-defying act after another?" Lin Zumo asked other elders. He has already a hard time believing the formation of spiritual veins but then the kid established lower dantian in a span of minutes!

Like that wasn't enough already, the kid was bringing out his Manifestation from the inner world! It took Lin Zumo centuries for completing his Manifestation!

Manifestation are also called as Soul Spirit or Spirit. It can be in the shape of a tree, forest, desert, fish, lake, etc.

But bringing out them from the inner world to the real world is extremely difficult! Otherwise, why would the word 'Divine' be added next to it? It was to denote both power and the difficulty!

----------------------------------------

Meanwhile, some hundred miles away. There was a large mansion of the Lin clan where the patriarch stayed. Currently, he was in a meeting with envoys from Vermilion Empire. They were discussing a possible collaboration for throne of Skyrise Empire.

"As I was saying we will give you the post of vice-prime minister if you help us," the chief envoy from Vermilion Empire said.

"I want the post of prime minister if you want us to collaborate," Lin patriarch said.

"You are aski... WHAT?"

Both the envoy and Lin patriarch teleported outside of the mansion. They could see the red clouds gathering near the pagoda.

"Lin Xinu, you really hid your cards well. We had no intel that someone from your clan was about to reach Divine Manifestation," the chief envoy said.

Lin patriarch wanted to curse for he himself has no idea. He flew towards the source of clouds and was shocked when the great elders outside explained to him the situation. The chief envoy was shocked as well when he heard the explanation.

"Lin Xinu, drop your act. I know you conducted this play to fool us. Or you actually think I am stupid enough to believe this crazy story of an unrivaled genius?" The chief envoy has an expression of disdain on his face.

He was sure Lin clan was trying to fool him with the talent so that they could bargain more in the collaboration.

Lin Xinu and the great elders were shocked in silence. Before they could clear the misunderstanding, a red stream of light originated from Zhen Han's head. This happened at the same time as he saw the inscription on the first coffin in his inner world.

The red light merged with the red clouds. Below the clouds, a giant phantom of a formless form of energy started appearing. No matter how the audience tried to judge, they couldn't guess what form of Manifestation was this.

"Do you know what is this Manifestation?"

Before anyone can reply, another red stream of light originated from the pagoda and merged with the red clouds. A phantom of a tree appeared.

"Two Manifestation?"

"Tree type Manifestation is useless," the chief envoy said.

Lin Li, on the other hand, was trembling in fear when she saw the tree. She was worried people would associate the tree Manifestation with the tree in the capital but seeing how no one guessed it she was relieved. Perhaps it was because the Manifestation was incomplete, there was no pressure from the tree or the formless energy.

When she heard someone calling the tree useless, she wanted to curse the speaker.

"This tree killed the emperor and destroyed imperial capital, you idiot!" Lin Li cursed inside her heart.

Suddenly, another red stream of light fused with the red clouds. This time there was a phantom in the shape of a Celestial Fiend.

The audience didn't have time to react as more and more stream of light started fusing with the clouds.

"FUCK! This is a scam!" the chief envoy said.

"How can anyone have NINE MANIFESTATION? Not to mention the last two Manifestation are surrounded by fog! We couldn't even see their appearance! You are just trying to trick us for bargaining!" the chief envoy concluded.

"Shut up!" Lin Patriarch said. He knew the current situation looked like a scam if he was in the chief envoy's shoes.

"Just what type of freak is this child?" This was the question in everyone's mind.

-----------------

Meanwhile, invisible to everyone, a violet light originated from Zhen Han's glabella and flew towards the red clouds.

The invisible violet light merged with the red clouds. The addition of violet light was like throwing a stone in still water.

Red clouds and the nine Manifestation started dissipating!

"WHAT?"

"The Manifestation is disappearing!"

"O-of course!"

"Yeah! How can an Awakening Realm cultivator do what only Divine Manifestation cultivators can do?!"

"He was bound to fail!"

"Heavens might be late in their response, but they have finally acted!"

"The hammer of justice has arrived!"

The younger generation sighed with relief. They had a mocking expression, but then they thought he still has established his lower dantian!

"The heavens are acting fair! Perhaps his lower dantian would disappear as well!"

"Indeed! His spiritual veins should disappear as they too were against the rules!"

"Heavens! I am sorry for calling you partial!"

The younger generation and the elders were looking forward to Zhen Han's lower dantian to collapse but it didn't.

"Heavens, you can't be unfair again! You destroyed his Manifestations but you forgot his lower dantian and spiritual veins!"

The younger generation begged and plead but nothing happened.

"FUCK! The heavens have fallen asleep again!"

"As I said before... this is a scam!" the chief envoy said. He felt more and more sure it was a trap set up by Lin clan to bargain. No one can do a Manifestation at Awakening so Lin clan made it as if the heavens didn't allow it.

The excitement showed by the young 'actors' made him more confident in his theory.

"Lin clan patriarch, you can't-fool me with your cheap actors and low-level illusions!"

Lin Clan Patriarch: "I don't even know what the fuck is going here! So stop blaming me!"
