บท 45: Shock

Back at the Zhang clan where Tianzhu was testing his Elemental Core.

In the testing room

Zhang Lijun and Zhang Shensu almost got their eyes blinded by that ridiculously bright golden light that shot to the heaven.

Despite being so, they couldn't help but still got their eyes wide open and their mouth agape which could put a few goose eggs in.

Especially patriarch Zhang, his body was trembling uncontrollably. 'It's been so many years, the ancestors has been waiting for this too many years.' He thought inwardly while his eyes became a bit moist.

Zhang Lijun was oblivious to this while he only focused on his beloved little son. He couldn't help but smile, his eyes became a bit watery. He was just too happy, there's no word could describe how happy he was now. Having a very talented son like this, which parents wouldn't be happy, not to mention that his son's talent was the apex one at that.

Tianzhu's whole body is now shining like a sun, blindingly shine, but it made the surrounding became very warm and comfortable, both his father and grandpa were oblivious to this because they were only focusing on their thoughts.

The whole Zhang clan became the golden-like pagoda, the members of Zhang clan became very astonished by this, soon, they immediately rushed toward the Elemental Core Testing Hall as soon as they remembered that the golden light had shot out from that hall, so it must have something to do with it.

A while later, many people gathered in front of the Elemental Core Testing Hall. They couldn't get in because it was locked, only the patriarch could access into here.

They were wondering why hasn't the patriarch shown up yet? Surely, he too, must have had noticed that golden light shot out from here right?

"Look, the elders have come." One of the member said while pointing his finger at the distance.

"Greeting esteem seven elders." All the members greeted. And the elders just nodded their head lightly.

Seven elders came, all of the elders didn't panic or anything, instead their eyes shone while their faces were calm.

When the people saw this they thought that the elders must have known something about this incident right?

Suddenly one of the student asked an elder in the front "Please excuse me elder Si, may elder please enlighten us what happened just now?"

When elder Si heard this, he couldn't help but smile, then he looked at that youth and his mouth formed a smile widely.

When the crowd saw this, they were sure that the elders indeed knew something about this.

"I don't know." Suddenly the crowd almost choked by the air, if you don't know then why did you act like you knew, that expression, obviously showed that you knew but you actually didn't know anything? Urgh...

"But..."

'But...?' The crowd regained hope once again, yeah, at least he didn't completely disappoint us.

"But I know that this is something good, very beneficial to our clan, it must have to do something with our clan for sure, while I don't know the reason behind it so, and don't have the key access inside then... I can only wait with you guys too."

The crowd once again almost coughed out blood, surely even a complete idiot without brain could figure out that this has something to do with our clan too. That light shot out from our clan, so could it be it has something to do with another clan instead? Anyone here could figure this out, and there's noway the golden light would harm people, since the beginning, the golden color represents the blessing.

The crowd didn't bother ask this elder Si anymore, afraid they would die because of disappointment, they really wanted to curse but this is an elder, they would be cripple or die for sure if that were to happened. What's more, this elder Si is one of the strongest elder in the Zhang clan, many people respect him because of his formidable strength and experiences of the combat technique, but his self-centered personality was just too hard to deal with.

Weng!

Suddenly the door of the Elemental Core Testing Hall opened and a handsome figure could be seen walked out of it. This shocked the people greatly.

"Greeting young lord." All the people, including the elders greeted Zhang Lijun.

As soon as they saw him, their mind immediately thought about a certain thing, Young lord was the man behind this.

"Y...young lord, the thing h...happened just now, w-..." one of the student asked Zhang Lijun. But his word was cut by him.

"All the elders can come in, the others can go back to do your things. I'll let you know the reason behind this tomorrow for sure."

"Yea, young lord." They immediately agreed, then the seven elders walked into the hall and the door closed as soon as the elders were inside.

Like this, the crowd left reluctantly, they really wanted to know what was really happened.

...

The elders just followed Zhang Lijun silently behind, from the way they look, it seemed that there was no need any explanation on the way, they would know what happened when they arrived the destination.

'The Elemental Core Testing Room!!!' As soon as they arrived in front of this room, they could somehow figured out five-tenth of what really happened. All the elders furrowed their brows together.

"All elders, please come in." Zhang Lijun gestured to let then in.

As soon as they arrived inside the room, they got very shocked and got their steps halted.

They saw the Elemental Core Testing Stone was shinning brightly in golden light, and the word 'Divine' stood on the surface in the middle of the stone arrogantly while emitting even the golden light brighter than the whole stone.

What shocked them the most was that, their little young master Tianzhu was standing in front of the stone with both of his hands on it. From this, they instantly knew what had happened.

They turned their head to the patriarch by the side and said to him "P...patriarch, t...this, this is really happening right?"

"Hahahaha, that's right elder Lei, our ancestors' two hundred thousand years' wish, finally came true."

All the elders here, were the elders whom had stayed in the Zhang clan for at least over two hundred years, they were very loyal to the clan without condition, they were like the old hermits who disdain of poking their nose into the worldly affairs, all of them always stayed in their mountain peak and cultivate.

"The Divine Elemental Child, our young master Tianzhu..."

"Patriarch, I think our esteem ancestor could figured it out already right? And the supreme elders too."

"I don't really know, but just base on the fact that they didn't come here, it shows that they knew about this already. And let us gathered all the upper echelons and meet at the Divine Gathering Chamber to discuss about this matter. Jun'er, activate the Star Exploding Bead."

This bead is used for signaling all the upper echelons of the Zhang to gather at the Divine Gathering Chamber, it is mainly used for the utmost important matter and the top secrecy. All old elders, supreme elders and ancestors had this bead.

The Divine Gathering Chamber was the place without door, without windows, only by using the teleportation could one goes in there, and one more method is to use the Divine Walkthrough Talisman but this talisman was too precious and rare.

...

Meanwhile at one of the ancient mountain peak inside the Zhang clan's territory. A middle aged man who looked to be in his forties abruptly disappeared from his cultivation chamber.
