8 Stones of Eternity
The Lake Water Lightning Tribulation.

Chapter 54. The Lake Water Lightning Tribulation, Cao Tian Jun's Original Form.

Outside the Golden Pagoda, many people who were frightened when they saw in the sky appeared an enormous whirlpool, its width almost covering the center of the Yin Sect and the Golden Pagoda. The center point of the whirlpool was directly above the Golden Pagoda.

The central region of the Yin Sect became pitch-black as the sunlight was covered in whirlpools. In the whirlpool came out many lightning fibers. This phenomenon was like the Lightning Tribulation but it was not, because the characteristics of the Lightning Tribulation were not like this, there were no whirlpools, there would generally be black clouds and lightning.

Matriarch Yin An and her subordinates were still trying to open the door, yet they stopped when they sensed the oppressive aura from outside, the aura of the Lightning Tribulation.

Soon they came out of the Golden Pagoda to check what was going on. Upon arriving outside, they were shocked when they saw a phenomenon in the sky, an event that had never been seen or occurred in the Eastern Continent.

"Everyone, get away from this place!" matriarch Yin An's orders, he felt a distress emanating from the whirlpool.

Immediately, he and everyone hurried away from the whirlpool that covered the sun. Many people headed to the Yin Ancestral Tomb for shelter, and some people were outside the whirlpool circle...

Meanwhile, Cao Tian Jun, developed a happy smile from gaining new strength and knowledge.

"I didn't expect the shooting star to be a gift to me" he murmured.

Pleasure becomes sadness, sadness for no longer being able to meet his teacher. Recalling the thing he had just experienced, he became thinking about the figure of the man who claimed to be an Immortal God, as well as about the words of his teacher.

"Is that Immortal God me?" cao Tian Jun's inner self, since the face of the Immortal God was very similar to him as well as the words of his teacher, he was second-guessing if he was an Immortal God. The thing was, he did not remember the slightest bit about himself as an Immortal.

"Who...! Care deeply for the Immortal God! I have to undergo the Lightning Tribulation first in order to possess the true strength of the Deity level. After that, it had only risen to the True God level!" said Cao Tian Jun with vigor.

Yes, since he had yet to undergo the Lightning Tribulation, his breakthrough was delayed, he should have already been at the True God level, in other words had climbed two levels in one go.

Before he got out of his seat, he thought for a moment about the Crown Stone residing within his body. If he were to just leave this place, it was obvious that he would become a great enemy of the Yin Sect.

His real face is known to many. If he left this place, then he was the only person accused of being the Crown Stone thief. The bad impact, it would obviously be felt by the White Pigeon Academy.

"Crown Stone, can you make a replica of yourself?" ask Cao Tian Jun.

Suddenly a white colored stone came out from Cao Tian Jun's forehead, the stone was the Crown Stone. Then Crown Stone circled his body.

As it turned out, Cao Tian Jun was able to communicate with the Crown Stone. After that unification, he knew all the abilities of the Crown Stone. He also knew of the phenomenon that occurred outside the Golden Pagoda. It happened because not only did he break through to the Deity level, but also the cultivation base of soul power rose to the Lake level.

"Over time we don't meet after you separate us, Sovereign," the Crown Stone greeted as it stopped in front of Cao Tian Jun.

Cao Tian Jun scratched his head in astonishment at being called "ruler" by the Crown Stone, let alone said he had long since separated.

"Honestly, I was confused because not remembering about us in the slightest, even my dreams a moment ago, greatly confused me." Cao Tian Jun said and paused, "can you tell me who I really am, and who you are?" he asked Crown Stone.

"It's only natural not to remember anything because of your own wishes!" replied the Crown Stone that shocked Cao Tian Jun.

"I want to remember nothing myself, isn't it weird?" sahut Cao Tian Jun and even more confused.

"Yes, a ruler who doesn't want any more contact with the past. But it is no longer important because we are together. Servants and others will guide you back to having a peak strength, a power greater than ever," explained Crown Stone and promised to guide Cao Tian Jun, who was the leader of the group, but he did not explain what he meant by "previous".

Cao Tian Jun paused for a moment to think about what he had just experienced as well as the Crown Stone's words. All his memories and dreams seemed to be interrelated, it made many questions in his mind.

"I'm glad you can guide me to reach the ultimate power! However, the knowledge given by my teacher, he said that the highest power was at the level of Almighty God. Whereas when in my dream a moment ago, the man who claimed to be an Immortal God, I did not know of his strength. What level is he on?" at length Cao Tian Jun spoke and ended up asking.

"The ruler will find out after finishing undergoing the Lake Water Lightning Tribulation, and it is related to Soul Power!" answer Crown Stone.

Cao Tian Jun nodded in understanding, then he repeated the question the Crown Stone had not answered, "what about my question earlier, are you able to create a replica of yourself? I don't want to have many enemies before being really strong!"

The Crown Stone let out a bright light that made Cao Tian Jun close his eyes due to the glare. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw that there was a stone very similar to the Crown Stone.

"This stone will replace the position of servant for 100 years. With this replica in place, the Sovereign no longer needs to worry," explained Crown Stone and stopped talking for a moment, "Ruler, "Ruler, it would be nice to immediately gather all the Eternity Stones stored in each Golden Pagoda.

"Only one-quarter of the ability of the servant. Even so, it was already incredible for them!" bright Crown Stone.

Cao Tian Jun sighed in relief, he immediately stood up to undergo the Lake Water Lightning Tribulation.

"You said earlier, I have to undergo the Lightning Tribulation, why must there be Lake Water?" ask her once more before exiting the top of the Golden Pagoda.

"It has to do with the cultivation base of Soul Power. If it was just ordinary strength like every cultivator possessed, it would generally undergo the Lightning Tribulation." The Crown Stone patiently always answered Cao Tian Jun's questions.

"Oh so! Yeah, yeah I get it now. Alright, I better undergo the Lake Water Lightning Tribulation immediately. I will teleport as far away from this region as possible ...," Cao Tian Jun said.

Crown Stone did not speak, he immediately went inside Cao Tian Jun's forehead. After that, he teleported with the aim of not taking any casualties. Cao Tian Jun appeared in the Five Fingers Mountain Range because this place was suitable for lightning disasters.

After Cao Tian Jun's death from the Golden Pagoda, the whirlpool immediately disappeared. Everyone who had been afraid became relieved, as well as confused by this strange phenomenon.

Matriarch Yin also breathed a sigh of relief, he let out a rough breath, then immediately returned inside the Golden Pagoda to inspect the Eternity Stone.

Upon arrival at the top of the Golden Pagoda, Matriarch Yin and everyone important saw the Lotus Flower where the Crown Stone was residing.

"Thankfully everything is fine. What a strange day!" Matriarch Yin felt her worry instantly evaporate as the pride of the Yin Sect was still in place.

"Today's events must have been because of that man... Leader, I will personally look for him as well as investigate who he is!" pinta Chairman Yin Jiali was very upset with Cao Tian Jun.

"Yes, you have to look for him. As long as he hasn't been caught, don't ever loosen the guard at the Golden Pagoda!" replied Matriarch Yin and also gave the order.

After re-examining the Stone of Eternity, he and everyone walked out of the Golden Pagoda. Chief Yin Jiali brought the core disciples and the best female warriors on the quest mission, including Yin Meili the Son of Heaven.

As for Cao Tian Jun, appearing at the birthplace of the Leaping Toadstool Sacred Fruit, he had deliberately made the highest mountain peak a place to undergo the Lake Water Lightning Tribulation.

To be honest, he wanted to defeat the Monkey King and Gale King by relying on the Lightning Tribulation. Without relying on the strength of the Lightning Tribulation, he couldn't possibly defeat the two rulers of the Five Fingers Mountain Range, because the strength was still far different.

After the appearance of Cao Tian Jun on top of the highest mountain peak, there appeared also a circle of whirlpools above his head, the size did not change and remained the same, the region became dark due to the whirlpool.

The appearance of the whirlpool made the mystic beast frightened by staying away from the highest mountain. While King Gale and the Monkey King saw the vortex, they immediately returned to the mountain peak at high speed.

"Is the Lake Water Lightning Tribulation stronger than the general Lightning Tribulation?" Cao Tian Jun asked as he looked up, he felt a strong suppression coming out from the whirlpool.

In addition to the oppressive aura, he also felt the extreme humidity of the air, and slowly sprung up the frozen water grains like snow, the lightning also grew louder and deafening.

Surprisingly, the water droplets did not fall to the ground, but instead stopped circling Cao Tian Jun's body. He grabbed one of the water droplets, and made him shocked by being electrocuted.

"really. It was because the cultivation base belonged to the Sovereign, in contrast to any cultivator, doubling his pain. The ruler must be able to overcome it by himself in order to have truly pure Soul Power!" bright Crown Stone whose voice sounded in his mind.

"2 fold... If so, inevitably I will have to take out my true form!" muttered Cao Tian Jun who had no other choice, he did not want to risk failure because knowing a single water was quite painful.

He took a breath and let out slowly, he did it three times. After that, a pair of Dragon horns came out from his head, the horn that had been hidden all along.

After exiting the Dragon horn, his body emitted a bluish light, then his body came out the Dragon scales. The Dragon's scales formed a white and black battle armor, he also had the Dragon's tail wrapped in his armor. His entire body was now invisible to his skin.

Seeing the condition of his body that was different from before, Cao Tian Jun was surprised, because he actually had black armor without any white color. In addition, he also felt an increasing strength.

"Wow! I'm getting stronger, is this because we're fused?" ask Cao Tian Jun.

"right." Crown Stone replied briefly.

"Parrrr...!!"

Cao Tian Jun let out a Dragon roar after the Crown Stone replied. His voice sounded loud and very far away. The sound of the Dragon made the body of the mystic beast shiver violently in fear.
