5: Heaven's wrath

was The Heavenly atmosphere was always serene and mighty. Giving off the vibes of supremacy and holiness.

    The pure clouds dotted the environment below, serving as a primary division between earth and the heavens.

    Above this blurry cloud was a large golden gate ahead and before this gate stood soldier-like men in full golden armor. They look plain in expression and calm with their spear at hand. 

    Behind these gigantic gates blurred up with shining cloud stars was the majestic land of the gods...The core god realm.

    Legend had it that after the ancestral gods had created the universe, they had strived for peace between mankind and an effective way of ruling it .. Then when the ancestral gods had faded off from the universe without traces...placed the gods In charge of this universe...The gods were selected based on wits and talents. And these gods of the three realms lived in the supreme god land along with the true god. Known as the heavenly emperor.

    With an environment of gold, silver, and all pure...Was set the god realm ( A higher authority above the heavens where mere celestial beings can't simply enter!). And high above was the huge golden seat of the True God, Shen, Who sat on his glowing seat in a majestic garment of Power and Light. He seemed to be a middle-aged man with black here but He was the leader of the three realms and the true God to who all paid homage. Mortals prayed to him, celestial beings give him Homage, and gods bowed to him.

   

    His seat was the only one standing for this was his chamber. A large open room with twelve golden poles around.

    Before he stood an old man with white hair and beard who faced the entrance of the chamber.

    After a while, this man turned to god Shen" Your highness... The god of war wishes to see you..." He informed in a Nobel bow.

    god, Shen simply nodded as the old man turned again "Let the god of war emerge into the holy chamber of His highness!" He announced.

    Immediately, someone appeared before them. It was a Middle-aged man who seemed huge, powerful, and dominating. He had his black curly hair. On his body was a golden armor mixed with silver. By appearance, this brave-looking legendary man indeed deserved the title of the god of war!

    He knelt on his feet and gave god Shen a solemn now "Your highness...I came to bring you news and seek your permission"

    "Speak... what's it?" god Shen's voice seemed mighty and godly.

    "Well. The Cultivator said to be a master and teacher has been found again"

    "Hmm.The one slandering the name of the heavens through his students?"

    "Yeah"

    "Go...Go and bring me his soul core" god Shen ordered.

    "Yes... Your highness. I'll make a plan for that" He got up and disappeared.

    God Shen leaned backward with a long sigh" When morals even begin to bad mouth the heavens, they should look back and think of how the Demons ended up... How careless they'll be"

    "I'm back!" Asura announced, happily barging into the house with the leaves held proudly in his hand.

    He approached Master Lu who was calmly seated before his table in the corridor, going through ancient scrolls.

    Master Lu looked up at the energetic child approaching.

    "Look...Look at what I got," Asura said seating opposite him as he dropped the leaves on the table.

    Master Lu looked at the leaves on the table and then at the Young Man who sat before him with bruises all over his face. He smiled" Good job..." He picked up a leaf "But this is not fresh enough"

    

    Asura's mouth almost dropped open in shock at what he heard. What was he trying to say? that all his efforts were in vain?! 

    Observing his expression, Master Lu's smile widened" Well...I don't think I want to drink tea anymore" He said getting up.

    "Then what are you trying to say?" Asura asked also getting up, curious.

    Master Lu looked at him" Did you meet your senior?"

    "Yes I did... but forget that...what are you saying?"

    "Then it's good you met your senior, you can learn a lot from him" Master Lu turned walking off.

    "Hey! make it clear! why do you keep changing the topic about my senior?..." He paused" Wait...my senior?" He thought as a smile curled through his lips" Does this mean you accept me?!"

    Master Lu stopped with a smile and turned to face him "Not until you clean this place up for tomorrow's training" He said walking off 

    Asura was excited about it " Thanks! Thanks, master!" He appreciated watching him leave into a chamber. With a smile, he turned to face the messy compound" I guess I do have a heavy price to pay.

    

    A good night's sleep was what Asura did enjoy here. Finally, he didn't have to sleep on the streets, now he had a room all to himself where he laid comfortably on the mattress, making himself comfortable.

    He had slept well last night but as they say, good things never last forever!

    Before the sun had set the next morning, Asura had felt a bucket of water poured on him.

    Shocked, he quickly got up, looking around in alarm. Master Lu stood before him with the bucket of water. 

    "What's the matter?" Asura had asked.

    "Rise and shine... It's time to start your day" Master Lu Smiled.

    Asura never imagined he would find himself awake by six in the morning! This was impossible for him. Usually, he would still be asleep until Ten. But this was a new side he wasn't sure he could adopt too!

    For over an hour, Asura found himself standing on his feet while holding out a stick ahead. He didn't know the purpose of this silly exercise! But it was killing him!

   From time to time he would fall back on his other feet but then Master Lu who sat on the floor, leaning on a tree would give him a whip or two and he would get back to his feet! This wasn't the training he hoped for! He thought that it would be teaching him how to use his power or something. But this? This was torture!
