It had been a whole day since Ryuu had arrived, after choosing a place he had began placing various Arrays under Nuwa's watchful eyes, normally she would have helped him, she wanted to but it was a test for Ryuu not only that she wanted to limit the contact with him as much as possible, his armor and weapons were already provided by Maheswara, as such both her and Veena were making sure to decrease their help as much as possible but unfortunately if they intervened too much the chances of Ryuu failing would increase greatly as such both Nuwa and Veena made sure to make Ryuu create them by his own hands.
Ryuu huffed as he stood up from his kneeling position as he spoke, "So 2nd Mistress is the Array alright?"
Nuwa looked at those arrays intently before he spoke, "hmm they will work Ryuu, but remember this during the thunder tribulation, no matter what you use anything that is created by KI will deteriorate, fast even your armor and weapons are not above it.", she sighed as she spoke, "We wish we could help you more child, but the more help we directly give you the more chances of your failure would rise."
Ryuu nodded at that as they made their way to their temporary place of residence, his worry all but faded away as the delicious smell of food hit his nostrils causing him to drool, 'Yum, delicious.'
Milena who had dragged Neacht along with her to visit Ayindril, and fortunately they had stumbled upon them before they had left, but upon hearing about Ryuu's tribulation insisted on joining them, was currently snickering at seeing Ryuu's expression as she whispered to Celestia who was near her, "Aunty, you know it is very easy to kidnap him, just show him something delicious and he would follow you."
Celestia snorted as she spoke, "Yup should have seen the shenanigans we had to deal with when he was even younger."
The rest of the time they spend by trying to lower the tension by joking and gossiping and mostly by trying to encourage Ryuu.
On the day of the tribulation Ryuu was sitting on top of his prayer mat, with his prayer bead on his left hand he gulped hard he was nervous as he sat with bloodshot eyes all those stories about tribulation he had heard from Celestia had caused him to stay awake last night, but more importantly he was bored he did not like meditating too much, not only that everyone had retreated at least 10,000 Km, forming a circle with him at the center. The circle guarding Ryuu made by his masters, sisters and the soldiers of Ayindril was so tight that even an ant would not pass.
It was around noon when the sky suddenly started darkening, it looked as if someone had covered the entire sky plunging the world into darkness, within a few seconds the cloud had spread and managed cover over 15000 Km, the clouds rumbled hard making Ryuu nervous, he took a deep breath and a couple of slaps on his cheeks later he was ready for his tribulation, as his eyes burned with determination.
The cloud kept on rumbling when suddenly the earth shook as fire leaped out from the cracks on the ground, suddenly consuming him, Ryuu quickly closed his eyes as he used the Dao of Fire to control the towering inferno, only for the Dao to betray him, no matter how he tried the fire was not responding to him, 'So that was what my teacher meant by Dao being useless during Tribulations until you have reached almost the highest level of understanding.'
Meanwhile Maheswara cracked a smile at what he saw, "Well seems like someone failed using the Dao to control the flames."
Neacht frowned as she spoke, "Uncle did you not warn him?"
Maheswara smiled as he spoke, "Of course I did but I also prefer to let him discover a bit of dangerous situations, although as long as he is not in dangerous situations."
Neacht frowned but he did not speak anything, after all to many Maheswara may seemed to be a rather harsh, arrogant and in some cases a careless taskmaster but he surely bore results as all of his children are immensely even amongst the people of the same rank, and in their world sometimes only the result matters.
The fire raged on coalescing into towering inferno the only source of light in the darkened land, as the inferno raged on a few thousand kilometers from the edge of the tribulation cloud a small city was present the last bastion of civilization before the treacherous wasteland began, the place which is actually a mine for various spirit stones, currently the place was buzzing excitement a dark ominous looking cloud was seen to have formed a few thousand kilometers from that place, it not only appeared out of nowhere but from the looks of it the raging storm was nothing if not a tribulation cloud.
Many factions within the city had already begun gathering their forces, some to invite the person into their household, some to simply make a killing after all who knows what treasure they may get and some just to scavenge and profit from the aftermath.
First stage burning of impurities, as soon as it finished it seemed as if a dam had burst from the cloud as torrential rain poured from the sky and within a few moments the entire area flooded from water but it was not meager water, to Ryuu it felt as if the he had to returned to his mother's embrace he could forget about everything and he felt sleepy like those times when he slept in his mother's lap, only for his senses to return back as he struggled to breath he calmed himself as he circulated his KI inside his body, 'Damn that was close I would have died from drowning.'
Veena sighed as she spoke, "The cleansing huh, he almost lost in temper but he managed to control himself then this time he almost drowned, I hope the ascension would go well."
It was an otherworldly feeling for Ryuu, the 'Purification' caused by towering inferno which ignites wrath in a person which was such in his case, he had sailed across it smoothly he had feared that his enlightenment in the Dao of Asura might cause him a problem but he managed to overcome it easily, then the 'Cleansing' process, using water to remove the residual ash left by the 'Purification', a process that shows a glimpse of one's inner heart desire he passed but it was a little bit difficult than before.
The flood which was formed disappeared once again in a blink of an eye the scorched earth made of molten ground was not muddy, the clouds on the sky rumbled as a vortex formed on top of his head as he got ready after all the real thing was about to start.
Meanwhile Milena looked surprised, "What? Where is the test of…", only for her eyes wide in realization as she turned towards Nuwa as she spoke in a whisper, "Aunty how did someone so young have so much Karma?"
Nuwa just gave her a ghostly faint smile at that.
