Chapter 169 - Zenzeng

The night passed, and the new day came. As usual, Sen woke up early in the morning, took his shower, reported in the dining hall, and had breakfast with everyone.

Usually, everyone used to have their breakfast by 9:30 am, but that day they finished it before time and were ready to depart by 9:30 am.

Aryan knew they were going to meet the Sage Emperor and unlock something inside him. But he was not so clear about that. Like the last time, this time too they all stood before the door and waited for Grand Elder to connect the door to the Sage palace.

Grand Elder touched the door, closed his eyes, and chanted something. Suddenly, the gate began to glow and like the last time, it dimmed after some time.

Grand Elder opened the door and flash!!!

The bright light entered their eyes. Since Sen was the one just behind Grand Elder he got dazed by the light and closed his eyes for some minutes.

After his eyes stopped, flickering he opened his eyes and saw the view before him. Blue sky, white clouds, and floating islands. Just from a single look anybody would have said it was the heaven, where everyone wanted to go.

Grand Elder stepped out from the door, followed by Anisa and Aditya. Rest of the family members too got out and took a breath in the fresh air of that mysterious place.

Sen was the last one who hadn't stepped out of the home and was looking everywhere with amazement. For him, it was something he had dreamed once or twice in his life. And seeing something like that in real…!!

At that time he was thinking of 101 ways to make a palace there and live there for eternity. Amidst of his contemplation, a voice ringed in his ears and brought him back to reality.

"Yo lil Sen, come out already. We are getting late for the celebration!!"

After snapping out of his fantasy Sen looked around again and found it was his uncle Jean who was calling him out and asking him to come out of the home.

"Ah, yes, yes. Coming," Sen replied and stepped out of the door and set his foot in that mysterious place.

The moment his both feet touched the ground, a yellow light prevailed throughout that place. This time Sen was ready for it and applied a magic circle on his eyes to see through light and pin down the source of light.

Upon looking at his surroundings Sen found out that the Sage energy in his surrounding was increasing rapidly, hence the sudden influx caused this yellow light?

And the reason for this light…. When Sen found out the reason, he was completely taken aback by the result. The reason was none other than him!!

To be precise the reason was his cultivation star, Illusion Reality.

The light dimmed down, and the surrounding became normal like before. Sen looked at his gramps with eyes of confusion and craved for an answer from him.

Grand Elder patted his head and said, "Hehehe don't worry. It's just the beginning, you will see more wonders on the way."

Sen couldn't understand what he was trying to tell. But one thing he became sure of was the next few hours will be full of excitement and surprises for him.

After wandering around for a while Sen found out they were on top of a small floating island that was moving at a slower pace, taking them towards the Sage Palace.

Since they have plenty of time before they reach their destination, Takeru and Yoshino bought out all the things needed for a picnic and organized a picnic on top of that floating island.

Some of them began to play, while the other started to prepare for the barbeque. Takeru and Yoshino were ordered not to ruin their picnic by helping them in preparation, so they were given a leave for a day.

Since both of them had nothing to do, they too joined Rikka and Sir Jean and began to play with them.

Granny Kotori and Sen were the only ones who didn't have anything to do and were sitting on a cotton mat brought to them by Yoshino.

Sen closed his eyes and tried to meditate for some minutes. Usually, he used to meditate twice in a day. Once in the morning and once in the night, before sleep. But considering that mysterious place has the purest amount of sage energy and that too in a very large quantity he took the initiative to do meditation for an extra time.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and exhaled out a mass of heavy air from his body. Observing Sen from the very beginning, Granny Kotori called out Sen and asked how was the effectiveness of the meditation this time?

Sen nodded and began to speak out everything in excitement.

According to him, the energy purity was very high. Half the time and double the result. Not only that but it also expelled the impurity that was getting accumulated in his soul sea.

Granny Kotori laughed at her enthusiasm and asked him to calm down a little. Sen stopped and on asking and began to enjoy the smoothie prepared by her granny.

Time passed by and the floating island reached its destination. Sen and Granny Kotori were talking about something when the island stopped abruptly. Sen stood up and found some other islands smaller than theirs were surrounding their floating island.

Sen detected the aggressive nature of their energy and instantly released a wave of sage energy. The energy was ferocious enough to intimidate the peoples on the small floating island and make them tremble in fear.

One of them pinned down the source of that energy and was about to attack Sen, when another wave of energy hit them. Making the islands tremble in the sky.

Sen was also releasing a sage energy pressure on the opposite party to make them suffocate and throw in the towel.

"Just who in the world are you?!!" asked one of the people in a rage.

He was about to say something else when a sound came from behind saying, "Enough!!"

Sen turned around and found his entire family was assembled behind him. Seeing his parents were already there to handle the matter, he released the other party from his energy pressure and let them stand without any pressure.

The other party was still feeling nausea, and their vision was somewhat blurred. He was unable to who was the person who asked them and the kid to stop. While one of them was pondering about it, one of his subordinates recovered faster than him and shouted out the name in fear.

"Hi-Hi-Hi-roooki Zenzeng!!"

Hearing the name Hiroki Zenzeng, the rest of the people stopped breathing. If it was really the Zenzeng family, then they are dead for sure.

After everyone recovered from their nausea the person acting as their leader jumped onto the floating island that Sen and his family was using as a transportation.

"Assistant Chief of Group 5, Doran Lucas, reporting sir."

Hearing his introduction, which was more of an army introduction rather than a normal one, Sen found out they must be the guard of that place.

And seeing him giving respect to Grand Elder, he concluded the guard was inferior in the post to him.

Grand Elder nodded and asked him why he tried to stop them. Lucas remained silent and didn't reply to his question.

Anisa got pissed by the silence and ran out of patience.

She came forward and shouted, "Doran Lucas, as the retired head of the emperor's special army I have all the rights to fire you right here, and right now. Either state the reason or get fired."

Upon hearing the voice of the former commander, not only Lucas but the other guards who knew her trembled in fear.

The Fiery Bolt queen was back, and they, some puny guards, had no chance of defeating her or making her silent.

Meanwhile, Lucas mind was in chaos, he just wanted to stop the small island and wanted to take some money as a bribe to make them pass from that place.

Some time ago he detected the energy of a small kid from that island and thought it was an easy fish for him to make some money. Hence he surrounded the island with his comrades and released some of his aggressive energy.

But little did he know at that time, that the kid on that island was powerful enough to overpower them all at once. And the entire Zenzeng family was standing behind him!!

Seeing the similarity in the faces of Anisa and the small kid before him, Lucas somehow got the idea that the kid was the second child of their family.

And to offend a Zenzeng member equals to rolling your head on the ground.. While he was thinking about it he had already swallowed the mass twice that was forming in his mouth.
