Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 264: Tribulation Aura

Finally, after ten years.

Fog billowed as spirit qi covered the surroundings, making the surroundings look quite hazy.

The spirit qi here was massive, and it was bound here by the magic formations, looking like a man-made holy land of cultivation.

Even if mortals who did not cultivate came here, their lifespans would be extended and their bodies would go through changes.

In the surroundings, there were many spirit grasses and plants, looking quite captivating.

A figure slowly walked over.

"Has it begun?" Sharky walked out of the spirit garden as he looked at the surroundings.

"Yes."

In front of him, Zhang Ya nodded, "Based on the information from our people, the Demon Sect has attacked the Chen Kingdom recently. The Jade Sect has sent people to interfere, and we don’t know how things are going. However, from how the situation seems, they are most likely going to fight."

"That’s most likely the case," Sharky gave a slight smile as he said softly.

"The Jade Sect and Demon Sect have both sent ambassadors, hoping that you will lead the Yue Kingdom’s forces to aid them."

"Aid?" Sharky chuckled, "Interesting. I wonder just how they want us to aid them."

Standing there, he looked into the distance, and the scenes in the distance appeared in his eyes.

Fate appeared before his eyes incredibly clearly.

Traces of a black aura fell from the sky, landing on the surroundings, including him.

"Tribulation aura..." Sharky’s expression was calm as he thought to himself.

When there was going to be great changes in the world, and the pressure of the heavens and earth reached a certain point, tribulation aura would spread.

This tribulation aura was a sign of decay, and it was tied to one’s fate. If one was heavily affected by tribulation aura, even if they were a good person, they would end up having countless enemies and would be forced to run for their lives.

Tribulation aura was also the precursor to a great tribulation.

Of course, this tribulation aura was not something that exploded out suddenly, and it instead stacked up bit by bit.

Standing there and looking at Zhang Ya, Sharky thought to himself and prepared to agree to help the Jade Sect.

However, in the next moment, traces of tribulation aura immediately began to descend towards Sharky’s body.

Now, the tribulation aura around him was much denser than on other people.

Sharky could not help but smile.

"A great tribulation, eh?"

Standing there and thinking about the changes in the past decade, Sharky thought to himself.

Outside the Yue Kingdom, the Jade Sect and Demon Sect were battling intensely in various kingdoms.

Both of them were incredibly powerful sects, and they were leviathans in their own rights.

The battle between the two of them would be a long one, and they would not be able to determine victory or defeat in a short amount of time.

It seemed that this situation would persist for a while.

"It’s not time yet."

In the end, he changed his mind.

As he put aside thoughts of getting involved, the tribulation aura around him left his body and vanished.

There was still black tribulation aura in the surroundings, which would occasionally rush towards Sharky’s body, trying to enter him and provoke him to join the great tribulation.

In his mind, there were indeed all kinds of thoughts that made him want to suppress the Jade Sect and Demon Sect and unify this world.

However, despite these thoughts, Sharky’s heart remained calm.

Human hearts were incredibly complicated, and countless thoughts could arise in a single moment.

Some were good and some were evil, but most were just chaotic.

Often, to be able to maintain one’s rationality and not be affected by external things was quite incredible.

This was what Sharky had achieved.

In actuality, Sharky was quite interested in this great tribulation.

He had experienced many worlds, but it was the first time he had seen a great tribulation like this.

If it was under normal circumstances, he may have tried to enter it and observe.

However, since the two tasks were still pending, he had to refuse.

Now that the entire Yue Kingdom had been unified by Sharky, even though there was still a royal family, in actuality, the Yue Kingdom belonged to the Wind Thunder Sect.

As for the royal family, they were managed by Liu Fen.

Moreover, because Sharky was proficient with using the Fortune Mark, he could predict what might happen in the future, so he would avoid any troubles ahead of time.

Even though there were many people in the Wind Thunder Sect with tribulation aura, the tribulation aura had been suppressed this whole time.

Of course, Sharky knew that just suppressing the tribulation aura was not a solution.

Tribulation aura would not just disappear by itself, and in a sense, the more he suppressed it, the more terrifying it would be when it erupted out.

Moreover, even if he could maintain the status quo in the Yue Kingdom, he could not affect the rest of the world.

When the chaos in the outside world became more and more intense, it would affect the Yue Kingdom sooner or later.

The Wind Thunder Sect being dragged into the great tribulation was something that was going to happen sooner or later.

Sharky was prepared for this, but it was not time yet, till he had not completed his both tasks.

Standing behind Sharky, Zhang Ya looked at him and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she did not say anything and just sighed before leaving.

Sharky’s expression remained calm and he did not have any intent to say anything, allowing Zhang Ya to leave.

As such, Zhang Ya walked outside the spirit garden.

There, a few people were waiting.

They were a few elderly people wearing the attire of the Wind Thunder Sect’s Elders. They all stood there, looking quite worried.

Seeing Zhang Ya walk out, their eyes lit up and hurriedly came up and began to ask her questions.

"How was it?"

"What did the Sect Master say?"

"Sect Master did not agree."

Looking at the Elders, Zhang Ya’s expression was calm as she shook her head, "He does not seem to be interested in participating in the war."

"Ai..."

Hearing Zhong Ya’s words, the Elders sighed and felt quite disappointed.

"Sect Master has lost a good opportunity."

"The Jade Sect and Demon Sect fighting is a good opportunity for us to enter."

"Over the past few decades, because of the Sect Master’s strength, our Wind Thunder Sect has become much stronger. Perhaps it is not at the level of the Jade Sect or Demon Sect, but it is not something that ordinary sects can compare to. This would have been a good opportunity for us to expand out of the Yue Kingdom and gain even more spirit veins."

The Elders all felt that it was a great pity.

Some of these Elders were the Elders from before, and others were Bone And Soul Refining realm cultivators who had been recruited.

Over the past few decades, through the Wind Thunder Sect’s development, the original Elders had long since become convinced of Sharky.

This was because Sharky simply performed too well.

Back when Sharky had become an Enforcement Elder, he had taken away large amounts of the Wind Thunder Sect’s profits.

However, in the following decades, as the Wind Thunder Sect had begun to expand out and destroyed other sects, that had made up for the losses and had instead caused the sect to greatly profit.

This was especially so after the Wind Thunder Sect had taken control of the Yue Kingdom’s royal family. After setting up new laws, the Yue Kingdom’s mortal population had greatly increased, and the kingdom had become much more prosperous.

Even though the Yue Kingdom was not too big, it was not some small kingdom either. For a sect to have the wealth of an entire kingdom, it was something that anyone would admire.

As the Elders of the Wind Thunder Sect, they had naturally benefitted from this, and this had more than made up for the losses they had suffered when Sharky had first become the Enforcement Elder.

Because of this, their initial antagonism towards Sharky had long since disappeared.

Of course, this was also because Sharky had been a disciple of the Wind Thunder Sect and husband of the previous Sect Leader’s daughter.

Because of this, Sharky had long since been acknowledged as the new Sect Master.

However, because of the development over the past few decades, this caused part of the Wind Thunder Sect to desire even greater development.

After all, the Wind Thunder Sect had only reached where it was through the development that Sharky had brought about.

From the beginning until now, the Wind Thunder Sect’s rise had resulted in the destruction of countless ordinary factions.

Every destroyed faction had provided the Wind Thunder Sect with many benefits. Not only were the Elders and disciples who had contributed rewarded, even ordinary disciples were given spirit stones.

This made the Wind Thunder Sect’s disciples all desire even more expansion.

It was just that after unifying the Yue Kingdom, Sharky’s style directly changed, and he instead began to focus on growing stably.

In the following period of time, the voices clamoring for further expansion did not cease, and they instead became more and more intense.

However, Sharky ignored them and just focused on cultivating and developing within the Yue Kingdom.

Now that the Jade Sect and the Demon Sect had begun to fight, both sides invited the Wind Thunder Sect to join them, which most people saw as a good opportunity.

That was why so many Elders had come here, wanting to see what Sharky thought.

It was a pity that Sharky’s choice was just like before.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

"The Sect Master is a bit too conservative," another person sighed as he nodded.

Even though they were quite displeased with Sharky’s decision, they did not dare to openly oppose him. They could only nod before looking at Zhang Ya.

"Miss Ya, do you have any ideas?"

The Elders looked at Zhang Ya with hopeful looks, "This battle can greatly benefit our Wind Thunder Sect; do you have any way of convincing the Sect Master?"

"Not in the short term, at least," Zhang Ya said as she shook her head, "You don’t understand the Sect Master’s personality."

"If he refuses to do something, he will not change his mind in the short term. Even if I want to convince him, I will have to wait for an opportunity in the future."

"A pity, a pity."

Hearing Zhang Ya’s words, the Elders shook their heads, feeling quite devastated.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they feared Sharky, they most likely would have rushed to try to change his mind.

If it was the previous Sect Master, they really might have done such a thing.

Against Sharky, no one had the courage.

Only after a while did they turn and leave, sighing in sorrow.

Not too far away, a figure silently appeared—it was a handsome young man.

His expression was calm as he looked at the departing Elders.

Within his vision, the Elders looked quite unique.

In the air, black tribulation aura billowed, and much of it descended on those people’s bodies.

In other words, those people had been affected by the tribulation aura and were most likely going to enter the great tribulation

"Interesting," Sharky could not help but chuckle.

To him, this kind of situation was quite interesting.

He had experienced many worlds, but it was the first time he had experienced a great tribulation like this.

After all, the range that it covered was too great and had massive effects.

Even if one’s cultivation was high enough and their soul was strong enough, making it so that they were not affected by tribulation aura, that did not mean that the people around them would not be affected by tribulation aura.
