The Training Camp

"Trust me, I am true to my word." Said Mesa and he went to shake hands with Yun Canghai to confirm the deal.

"So, now that that's out of the way. It's time for me to go. I will come back in a week with some supplies so you two can survive in here, and I will get you two out of this place once I am done with my training." Said Mesa to Yun Che and Yun Canghai.

"Yes, you have been talking about going away. But how are you going to do that? You are stuck in this place, and there is nowhere to go for you." Said Yun Canghai.

"Like this." Said Mesa with a shit eating grin on his face before he suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a very, very confused Yun Canghai and Yun Che

Looking around the dark space, thinking that maybe he moved so fast that it looked like he disappeared, Yun Canghai searched for him, but to no avail. Mesa really was gone. Turning towards his grandson, he saw the same look of confusion on his face: "Che'er, did you know he could do this?"

"No, but after everything he has done so far, I am no longer surprised anymore." Said Yun Che.

Outside the sealing formation, in the mountains of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, a person suddenly appears out of nowhere. This person was obviously Mesa Uchiha and he had a look of pure rage on his face, with bloodshot eyes and heavily panting with rage.

"GHH… SHHHUUUUUUURRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!... AAAAAAHHHHHHH…...SON OF A BITCH!!!!!" Roared Mesa in pure, unadulterated rage and hit the ground under him with every ounce of strength with a fist incased in a quake bubble, resulting in a massive explosion and tremors that were felt across the entire Blue Pole Star. The resulting blast, had turned everything within a 25-mile radius to rubble and caused extensive damage to the nearby town of Cyan Forest Town, some 60 miles away. People there were suddenly taken by surprise when the ground starting to shake like crazy for a few seconds, causing the walls of many houses to crack, some of the houses' roofs had collapsed and their interior to fall to the ground. Nearly everything in the town that was made from glass had perished. Luckily, nobody had died and they people had only suffering minor injuries.

Meanwhile, in the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, inside a dark underground space.

Xuanyuan Wentian was sitting across the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and was discussing the progress of their plans, when all of a sudden the ground started shaking for a few seconds, taking him by surprise. The special dark space, where he converses with the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, should be isolated from the outside world. Tremors caused by clashes between profound practitioners couldn't be felt there, and yet he felt the ground shake, so he knew there could only be one explanation.

"What was that?" Said the soul of the devil, sealed inside the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword.

"Just an earthquake. It has been a while since I have last felt an earthquake." Said Xuanyuan Wentian.

In the Divine Phoenix Empire, inside the Divine Phoenix Sect.

Feng Hengkong, leader of the Divine Phoenix Sect and Emperor of the Divine Phoenix Empire, was having a nice morning breakfast with his daughter, Feng Xue'er, his favorite child of all. Usually, he would have his daughter hidden away in a private place for her own safety, because she was the hidden trump card of the Divine Phoenix Empire against the Four Sacred Ground. But this was one of the few times that he brought her over to the Divine Phoenix Sect to spend time with her. As the father and daughter duo were enjoying their breakfast, the ground starts shaking, causing their cups, plates and cutlery to fall off the table and spilling their food on the ground.

"Xue'er! Are you alright?! Are you hurt?" Hastily said Feng Hengkong and rushes over to her.

"Yes, father. I am alright. Just a bit shocked is all by this sudden earthquake." Said Feng Xue'er.

"Good, good. Thanks heavens you are ok." Said Feng Hengkong.

A minute later, Feng Ximen, Crown Prince of the Divine Phoenix Empire and Young Sect Master of the Divine Phoenix Sect, rushes into the room, a look of worry plastered all over his face: "Royal Father! Royal Sister! Are you alright?! I felt the ground shake just a minute ago. Are you both alright?!"

"Yes! We are doing fine! You can leave now!" Snapped Feng Hengkong at his son Feng Ximen in rage, causing him to leave. Even though Feng Ximen came into the room with a look of worry on his face, Feng Hengkong knew it was just a façade. The real reason he came was to indulge in his lustful ways and stare at his sister, and Feng Hengkong knew it, so he immediately snapped at him and sent him out of the room.

Across the entire Profound Sky Continent, people felt the ground suddenly shake for a few moments. Princess Cang Yue, Chu Yuechan, Xia Qingyue, Chu Yueli and even Yun Che and his grandfather Yun Canghai were no exception.

On the Illusory Demon Realm, inside the Little Demon Empress personal chambers.

Huan Caiyi, the Little Demon Empress, had gotten out of bed and was in the process being dressed by her servants, when the ground even started shaking all the way there. Though, the intensity of the tremors had subsided a lot, Huan Caiyi still managed to feel a little tremor, but shrugged it off as a regular earthquake.

Back at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, after his little hissy fit was over, Mesa had finally calmed down. It turned out that getting this quest was not something he wanted. But the punishments for refusing and/or failing the quest had made him absolutely livid and he needed to vent out his pent up rage.

"Well, time to go on that training camp…. Just gotta somewhere else." Muttered Mesa to himself, looking around to the devastation he had caused just now. So teleporting out of there, he went back to the Azure Cloud Continent, back to the place where he had first landed there. Walking southwards, Mesa kept walking until he was in a completely secluded place. Once there, he called forth Vimana and took to the skies to look for a suitable place for the next few months.

While he was flying, he turned inwards and looked inside the Sky Poison Pearl. There he saw Ophis and Jasmine, with a Mesa clone, all snuggled up against each other on the couch and under a blanket, watching a movie. Ophis was snuggled up to Mesa's left side and Jasmine was snuggled up to his right side. The table in front of them was filled to brim with snacks, soda and various other kinds of junkfood. Walking up to them, Mesa was not surprised anymore at this scene. Ever since he summoned Ophis, this scene became quite normal.

"Hey there you three. What are you three watching there?" Asked Mesa, but no one answered him. Hell, no one even bothered to look in his direction and were completely focused on their movie. Looking at the TV, he could see they were watching a Harry Potter movie.

"Uhm…. You guys. Are you even listening?" Said Mesa, but still no response. After a few seconds, he saw Ophis turning in his direction and she… shushed him.

"Shush!! We are watching Harry Potter. Come back later!" Said Ophis to Mesa, shutting him up. Afterwards, she turned her head back towards the TV and snuggled back into Mesa clone.

The original Mesa was just standing there, staring at them and at a complete loss for words. In all this time, this was the first time that Ophis shushed him and told him to get lost. Coming out of his stupor, he turned towards the fridge to grab something to drink. In the meantime, neither Ophis nor Jasmine even bothered to look in his direction.

"Uhm… I am gonna go out now… enjoy your movie." Said Mesa hesitantly after grabbing a six pack of soda cans out of the fridge.

"Ok-thanks-bye!" Said both Jasmine and Ophis simultaneously and waving him off, without ever looking away from the TV.

Without saying another word, Mesa left the Sky Poison Pearl and got back to Vimana and resumed his search for a perfect training spot. Flying around for a few hours, Mesa finally finds a good and secluded spot. This spot was south on the Azure Cloud Continent in the Fallen Beast Forest. This place was famous for the Cloud's End Cliff, the spot from which many had jumped to their deaths.

Setting down there, Mesa immediately went to work. He first started by making a bounded field that both isolated his energy, keeping it from leaking out and making the bounded field have a psychological effect on those who look at it, making them ignore it and avoid it all together. And then, he made a house, just like the one he made in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range back on the Profound Sky Continent, using his Wood Style. This would be his, Jasmine's and Ophis' house for the next few months. The inside he had decorated much the same as the other house, only this one had the TV and game consoles. Once that was all done, he started making his training ground, far away from the house. Here he made a bounded field where he could increase the gravity, he had all kinds of fitness equipment there and he started putting on weighted clothing like Goku from DBZ and weights on his wrists and ankles like Rock Lee from Naruto.

Once that was all done, Jasmine and Ophis finally came out of the Sky Poison Pearl.

"Yo!" Said both Jasmine and Ophis at the same time upon exiting.

"So, what did we miss?" Asked Jasmine, looking around at the new house and training ground that Mesa made.

"Seriously? Did you two miss everything that happened these last few days?" Said Mesa surprised.

Looking at each other for a moment, they turn back at Mesa and simultaneously say with a shrug: "Uh-huh."

And so he went on to tell them about what happened the last few day and about the task given to him by the One Above All. He told them about his plans for the next few months and where they would be staying from now on. Suffice to say, both of were pretty surprised at everything happened these last few days.

And so his crazy training started. Early in the morning, he would get up, make breakfast for himself, Jasmine and Ophis, and then he would go out and train really hard. Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, many miles of jogging, sparring with clones and so forth. And he would do all this in the special gravity area and the jogging would be done with his weighted clothing and wrist and ankle weights. And to top it off, he would also wear a military tactical vests on, filled with little sandbags for extra weight.

This would go on for twelve hours a day. Stopping only to have lunch with the girls, who were watching him train attentively. After a days' worth of training, they would have dinner together and then relax with some TV or gaming for the rest of the evening. This would then be repeated the next day, and so on.

A week later, at the entrance of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. The Frozen Cloud Asgard Mistress, Gong Yuxian stood there, awaiting the group of five that went to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa for the tournament. Though her face was emotionless, there was a glint of anger in her eyes, and it was directed at Chu Yuechan.

"Greetings Mistress, we pay our respects to you." Said all five women at the same time.

Looking over the group, her gaze falls on Xia Qingyue: "Qingyue, come over here."

"Yes, Mistress."

Coming over to her, Gong Yuxian places her hand on Xia Qingyue's chest and after a short while, she revealed a slight smile: "Very good. At the tender age of seventeen, yet already into the early stages of the Emperor Profound. This is your fortune, and also the fortune of our Asgard. Looks like there is no longer a need to worry about who should be next the Asgard Mistress. In the coming six months, you must cultivate behind closed doors at the core of the Snow Region of Extreme Ice, and stabilize the greatly increased profound energy in your body."

"Actually Mistress, I need to talk to you. And I need to have Master and Senior Master to come as well. They need to know what I am about to say as well." Said Xia Qingyue. Looking at the seriousness with which she said this, Gong Yuxian could see that what she wanted to say was really serious.

"Very well. Come!"

And so Xia Qingyue, Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan end up following Gong Yuxian into the inner most chamber of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Once there, all three of them kneel down in front of Asgard Mistress, who sat down on a throne.

"Speak Qingyue. What was it you wanted to talk about?"

Standing up, Xia Qingyue takes a few steps away from the rest, creating some distance, and takes out the storage ring that Mesa gave her. Rubbing the storage ring with her finger, she makes all 100 Tyrant & Sovereign Profound Realm beast cores fall out of it, very, very much to the complete shock and surprise of Gong Yuxian, Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan.

The first one to restore from this stupor was Gong Yuxian who immediately went to check up on the beast cores. And to her major surprise, found out that they were real. Looking over at Xia Qingyue, the only questions on all three of their minds was: "HOW?!"

"Qingyue! Where did you these?! Do you have any idea what it is that you have brought back?!" Said Chu Yueli, barely able to process what happened just now.

"I know what these are. But instead, let him explain what happened." Said Xia Qingyue.

"Him? Who is this 'him' you are referring to Qingyue?" Said Gong Yuxian, but Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli knew immediately who she referred to and knew that he would come now.

Instead of answering her, Xia Qingyue takes out the stick that Mesa gave them a week ago and breaks it. A few seconds later, about 10 feet away from them, a vertical tear in space suddenly appears in front of them. This followed was followed by a second horizontal tear across the first vertical tear, creating a cross shaped tear, that opened up to reveal a portal. Gong Yuxian, Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli all were on their guard and ready to fight whatever would come through the portal, for the energy they felt emanating from this portal was the same as the demonic energy they felt all those months ago that scared them.

"That should be him coming over now." Said Xia Qingyue, who was as calm as one could get looking at the portal that suddenly opened up. And a moment later, Mesa comes walking out of the portal, much to Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan great surprise. Gong Yuxian herself didn't even know how to react to this sudden situation.

"Hello there ladies. It's good to see you once again." Said Mesa, walking out of the portal with the Yamato in his left hand and a shit eating grin on his face.
