Chapter 4: Rise from the Ashes

The destruction that took place because of the lightning strikes, demolished the academy grounds.

After months of work, the academy was furbished to its former state and considerably be useful again.

Unfortunately, Hongjun is still in the state of being comatose.

Tang San and the others also arrived, as the Shrek Seven Devils was once again gathered in one spot.

Hongjun may be in a vegetative state, but his mind was still freely moving on his sea of consciousness.

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

< Hongjun's POV >

Experiencing that fear-inducing arcs of lightning made me realize, how weak am I currently.

With my former status as a God, I became orderly confident to on myself, taking away the cautiouness I tempered through dangerous situations.

Withhelding this new lesson, I vowed to never be rash again.

If it weren't for my divine core, I'd be a roasted chicken now...

Anyway, because of my Immortal Phoenix Soul, my fragmented soul damaged from the heavenly tribulation completely recovered after months of being comatose.

The lightning also tempered my talents.

My divine core deceased in size, but increased on its quality.

The quality of my soul power is comparable to a first-class god.

There may be no real power behind that tempering, but it increased my foundation absolutely.

I had a hunch after I reincarnated, Tang San also experienced rebirth.

From his medicine expertise, mystical skills and techniques, intelligence and cunningness is absurd for a 10-year old.

I fully expects that the person that can help rose from my situation again was Tang San.

He was unrivalled in terms of medicinal arts.

What made me disappointed was that my Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, completely changed.

Maybe it was because of the heavenly lightning, it mutated.

Evil Fire from my Phoenix martial soul, is a kind of Ultimate Fire.

Ultimate elements is the purest form of the element which carries its supreme state.

My Evil Fire may be a corrupted power, but it was a mutated fire that helds the Ultimate Evil attribute.

This power completely disappeared on me as my martial soul became a Lightning Phoenix.

What made me sigh a deep breath of relief was that the lightning attribute is fortunately at its ultimate state.

It was actually obvious as that lightning is from the planar laws, the purest power in anywhere on the universe.

It wasn't surprising that it was a Ultimate attribute.

My Evil Fire may have disappeared, but it was replaced by Ultimate Lightning without any side-effects.

A blessing in disguise of a calamity.

The only problem right now was that my body cannot recover due to lightning penetrations.

My organs was destroyed and is completely dead.

I used my spiritual power to mimic the body's lifelines, so they will not assume that I am already dead.

These past months was full of reflections and realizations.

These enlightenments brought my comprehension to the power of Samsara to new heights.

Looking from my soul avatar's eyes, a sublimation was currently in the process.

I was nearing that stage of my spiritual soul cultivation, the Spirit Domain Realm.

In the future, soul power wasn't the only thing that dominates the world.

Various energies appeared after thousands of years.

The people of the future discovered the power of the soul, founded by Tang San's son in law, Huo Yuhao.

It was divided into six stages which was the

Spirit Origin Realm,

Spirit Connection Realm,

Spirit Sea Realm,

Spirit Abyss Realm,

Spirit Domain Realm

and Divine Origin Realm.

Spirit Domain Realm, the realm that my soul reaching the boundaries of it, is the level that nears the power of a God.

After exiting the fragile state of my body, it was possible that I can reach the Spirit Domain by then completely.

An enormous arsenal I can use to assure safety.

This can be of a big help as my low soul power cultivation will put me at risk in that place.

The Slaughter City.

It was a city that drunks themselves with killing and massacre.

A complete lunacy.

It may be a disturbing place, but an item I needed is there.

The neidan of a 10,000 year-old ancient beast.

The Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent.

This object made my potential increase explosively in my past life.

Continuing to comprehend the Dao of Samsara, peaceful months passed by like fluttering clouds.

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

In the room where Hongjun is lying, was Flender, the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Revealing his medicinal capabilities, Tang San was able to deduce a solution that can help Hongjun awaken from his state.

"Master, from my observations, his organs was completely demolished, but is still alive which was completely strange" Tang San commented.

This was the first time Tang San encountered such a strange patient.

"San'er, in your opinion, what remedy can help him to wake up?" Grandmaster asked.

"A material or object with a strong life force, an item with that properties can heal the destroyed organs completely" Tang San replied.

"That is the only cure I can think of, we can have further tests after we had given him that first-aid" Tang San continued.

Hearing that an object with strong life force is needed, he remembered a treasure he picked in his early days.

Taking out a fist-size green mineral, Flender asked for its viability.

"Tang San will this suffice?" Flender said while his face displayed heart-wrenching expressions.

He may love his treasures with all his life, this is a small price to cure his one and only disciple.

"Life Gold!" Tang San exclaimed.

Yu Xiaogang was surprised with Tang San's reaction.

He observed Tang San grew up, always wearing a calm temper, this was the first time he had seen an outburst from him like this.

"San'er, just what is Life Gold?" Xiaogang asked curiously.

Realizing his exaggerated expression, he shrugged it with a cough, and replied to the Grandmaster.

"Life Gold is a precious treasure of the Heaven and Earth, carrying a strong life force, it was born directly from the world, a valuable natural item" Tang San defined.

"This material holds so much life force that it can instantly heal a person in the verge of death, with only using a nail-sized fragment"

Flender and Xiaogang was astounded, particularly Flender.

"TO THINK THAT A TREASURE IS ACCUMULATING DUST IN MY STORAGE?" Flender was filled with remorse.

"If I knew that such ability is contained inside of this, how many life-and-death situations could I escape unscathed?" Flender sighed.

Giving the item, Flender prayed for its success.

Tang Sana withhelding the object started to infuse the life energy to Hongjun.
