Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

To the elders, it was impossible that someone of such talent could be present in their world.

"Who is this person?!"

"Anyone got an idea? Is he really from our sect?" 

There were many questions they had, but they couldn't get any answers, even if they were itching for them.

"Elder Giza… its ten bolts now… then doesn't this mean…" one of the elders who had asked before spoke.

"Y-yes… it cannot be the Nine Spark Tribulation or the Falling Rise Tribulation… neither of those can reach ten tribulation lightning bolts. I… I only know of three types of tribulations that can reach ten bolts.

They are the Ten Thunderclap Tribulation, the Scarlet Burst Tribulation and the Night Demise Tribulation." Elder Giza explained.

"Then which one among those three is this?" The elder asked.

"I… don't know. It's not among these three… this is entirely different. I can't find any defining characteristics. For Ten thunderclap tribulations there need to be ten thunderclaps with each bolt. 

For the scarlet burst tribulation, a scarlet light should accompany each lightning bolt. As for the Night Demise tribulation… it needs to happen on the night when a thousand beings have died and right now it's not night." Elder Giza explained.

"Seems like we have a new tribulation on our hands… this will be going into our records." The previous elder spoke.

"Not just that, the disciple who is undergoing this tribulation… won't they be a genius?" a third elder said.

"But for that, they need to survive this tribulation. Ten Tribulation lightning bolts are not a joke." Someone said.

Hearing this almost everyone was in agreement. Even if someone didn't explode the moment ten tribulation bolts struck them, there was still a chance they would die later on once their injuries intensified.

"Could it be that the disciple who had the tribulation was unable to move anywhere, and that's why ended up having it here?" a female elder said after thinking. "I mean, it would make sense since everyone knows they should not undergo a heavenly tribulation in the sect outside of a tribulation platform." She added.

Hearing this a lot of the elders seemed to be intrigued. They thought about it a bit more and found it to be a reasonable guess.

"Then won't this disciple need support in healing? I don't think they'll be able to withstand the infusion of spirit Qi that will come after this. Their meridians and body might be too weak and could just explode even if their nascent soul was fully born." The first elder who had spoken stated.

"Yes! Yes! We can't let such a talented disciple die. Even if the formation arrays of the sect were damaged a little, it is still fine. Compared to the advantages of a talented disciple like this, that loss is easily redeemable." Someone added.

The common consensus among the elders switched to this, and they all started to think the same.

"But do we know if they are even of our division? For all we know, it could be someone from the Frozen Brook division that might have been hiding out here and were unable to move due to their situation." A doubtful elder questioned.

"Hmm… this will have to be decided by Elder Qianshu." Elder Giza said while rubbing his beard.

Everyone looked at the elder in question. 

Elder Qianshu was looking at Tian Han, his expression still. 

He was closely watching Tian Han's situation and his eyes didn't move one bit. He could see the expression of Tian Han as well, that was contorted in pain. His face couldn't be made out well due to the skin that had been burned and the soot that had covered him.

His hair had been burned away as well and only heavens would know what he would look like after all the soot and ash was removed.

"What do we do, Elder Qianshu?" The elders asked again, seeing that Elder Qianshu had not spoken yet.

"I have made my decision. Once the tribulation fades away, recruit this person into our division at all costs! Even if they are from the Frozen Brook division, we have to get them! He shall be our contender against Wang Xiong!" Elder Qianshu said, stunning all the elders.

~gasp~

Many gasps were heard from the elders as well as the few core disciples that were worthy of this information and were standing nearby. To them, this was both a shock in the good way and the bad way.

The reason why they had joined the Frozen Cliff Division was that they didn't like Wang Xiong being the chief disciples and also the heir to the sect patriarch's position. They wanted a direct competition for that position and with Wang Xiong there, they would never get it.

They were also in a dilemma, as Wang Xiong truly was talented and was progressing very fast. Thus, there was a great chance that even if they did organize a competition, they would still not be able to come out on top and lose.

But now that someone with an equal or an even greater talent had appeared, they might have the chance to win against the Frozen Brook division and flip the odds in their favor. Even if it meant giving up the chance to compete for the position of the inheritor of the patriarch.

"This… this might truly be the key to winning out conquest!" The elders said out loud.

"Indeed. Even after we get rid of Wang Xiong and annex the Frozen Brook division, there will still be push back from the current patriarch. Not to mention, we would be in a sensitive situation with the other powers and sects.

There won't be a lack of mantises stalking the cicada. But this way we will be the oriole hiding behind the mantis." Elder Giza elaborated, finding the idea wonderful.

Tian Han was completely unaware that the enemy had not only considered him an enemy but had even propped him up as their candidate for the sect patriarch heir!
