Chapter 184 - Sage Mode Again

After a long lecture, the reverberations stopped Aryan inhaled in some fresh amount of air, exhaled it out, then sighed out then began to rub his head.

Till then, all those terms were ringing in his mind. No matter what he tried to do to forget about them but they keep on popping in his mind. At one point he thought of a way to erase his memory completely, but he rejected the thought at once when he remembered he still has to save his parents and many people in his old world.

After calming down his chaotic brain, he began to float loosely in his soul sea and thought of a reason of all these reverberating lectures.

He knew it, knew it very well that in this life the Seven Sages weren't the ones leading his life, and someone else was behind it all. Destiny was the only name he could think of at that time that could have been behind these all.

While he was thinking about his past, present, and future, something triggered in his mind, and Aryan entered a mode of nothingness.

A mode where every unnecessary thought would drive out of his mind. And only the necessary thoughts will remain there. After entering such a mode of a higher concentration, Aryan became aware of many things that he wasn't able to understand before.

The lectures, the reverberation, the meaning of life, reality, illusion, dreams, everything became clear in his mind. Just within a fraction of seconds he was able to sort out all the important points out of them and was able to make the meaning out of it.

Abruptly Aryan opened his eyes and found himself standing on the same rock as before. He was still in a daze when a sound came from behind.

"Woke up kiddo, the thunder is coming!!"

Aryan snapped out of his thought and came to realize his surroundings. Above him was a giant piece of dark cloud that was getting ready to fire a fiery thunder at him.

The sky began to rumble, the wind began to roar. The nature was in an uproar. Even the Sage Emperor was able to change the fluctuations on the island.

Grrr~~~ Grrr~~~ Grrr~~~~ kaboom!!

A giant wave of thunder fell upon Aryan, after rumbling in the sky for some minutes.

Judging from the intensity and the energy level of the thunder, anybody could have said that it was not an ordinary thunder. But rather a heavenly tribulation thunder.

And the most surprising thing, instead up falling multiple times, seven thunder fell upon him combined.

The person who shouted out from behind and snapped out Aryan from his daze was a member of the search party. When Aryan entered his mode of nothingness and realized the meaning of all the terms reverberated in his mind, his cultivation star began to evolve and triggered something called double assertion in the world of cultivation.

Only one out of every hundred trillion souls can trigger a double assertion. And as the name suggests, a cultivator will ascend twice instead of ascending once at a time. 

Not only the member of the search party who was highly knowledgeable about cultivation but also Alisa and Sebes too recognized the double assertion and gasped in shocked and trembled in fear from Aryan.

In the entire history of the Sage world only a few handfuls of people had undergone double assertion, and all of them had records of immense power.

The search party member thought of what to do at that moment, and just as a precaution, he summoned all the injured members resting on the outskirts to teleport there.

Since the team had some professional healers, all of them were pretty much cured and were ready to start their job anytime. Upon getting the telepathy transmission, they pin downed the location of their comrade and opened a portal there.

Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!

The sound keep on echoing and multiple search party members kept on coming out of the portal.

One of them wanted to ask why was he freaking out and why did he call them out in a hurry? But upon sensing the energy fluctuation, tribulations clouds and the lil kid before him, he understood the reason and kept on staring at the double assertion.

Not only him but the other members too had some other questions in mind, but after taking a glimpse at the scene before them, all of them quiet down and kept on staring at the assertion.

No one, literally no one, was aware of the three giants there. The moment they entered their eye caught the scene of Aryan and the tribulation and no one was bothered, or rather take the initiative to become aware of their surroundings there.

Back to Aryan, his body was already engulfed in a golden light. His entire figure was not visible anymore, from the outside at least. After comprehending the meaning of life, dream, reality and illusion, Aryan was able to enter his sage mode that anybody could use at the stage of immortality. Though the immortality and the sage mode sound pretty much the same and were known terms in his old world in they were completely different in the sage world.

In his old world upon reaching immortality, whose full term was earthly immortal, no one will die as long as they stay on their own planet. But once they left the planet and go to any other place or planet they will become the same as a mortal cultivator. Though they will be able to use the immortal level powers, but they won't get revived like they could do in their own planet.

But in the sage world, the term immortal was completely different. Once you enter the stage of immortality, you can die and revive whenever and wherever you wish.

Last time in his old world when Aryan entered his sage mode while waiting for the ancient ghost the power he used at that time was the power that belonged to the Seven Sages. But this time when he entered the Sage mode, the power he was using solely belonged to Aryan himself. 

The power of the illusion reality, or I should say the power of the Illusion Derivative that he got after evolving his cultivation star. These were all the happenings that happened before the massive thunder of heavenly tribulation fell upon him.

The moment the thunder touched his body, everything became charred in fire around him. The trees, the plants, the grasses~~~ literally everything was burned down to ashes.

Till then everyone's hearts had stopped working, not the giants, nor the search party members taking a breath nor making a sound at that moment. Everyone's eyes were set on Aryan, or rather totally fixated on Aryan.

This time when he used his Sage mode like the last time, this time his body underwent a drastic physical change. His hands became bigger, his head, eyes and face became matured. His height too increased by many folds.

Not only that, but the clothes he was wearing changed. Now he was wearing a long pink overcoat on top of a white shirt. And to match the pair, a red skimpy tie waving here and there in the air.

The heavenly tribulation fell upon Aryan and passed throughout his body as he hadn't set any protective barrier around him. Though the giants were unable to see what was happening, the search party member can clearly see what was happening there.

They saw the thunder entering his body. All of them were expecting it to cripple his cultivation, burn down his life force, and at last burn down his mortal body.

But the result was completely different than expected. Instead of crippling his cultivation, burning down his life force and at last burning his mortal body, it strengthen his cultivation, increased his life force and at lass transformed his mortal body to that of an immortal.

Dumbstuked, completely dumbstucked,

Their heart began to work as usual, but their brain wasn't working any more.

They saw the tribulation thunder wave falling above him and instead of harming him it enhanced him by many folds!! 'Wtf is going on here?!!' Was the question in everyone's mind.

Standing on the balcony, a lady with smooth silky hairs smiled upon seeing the thunder wave tribulation and whispered something to the girl before her.

Upon getting her next new order, she bowed to the charming figure standing on the balcony and went out with a group of highly skilled guards.

"So you have already come this far?! Seems like we will meet soon, lil boy. Or I should say lil Aryan~~" muttered the lady.

Back to the main plot, Aryan was enjoying the benefits of his full-time enhancement and using his metal energy to check out his new powers.

While he was smirking around it and getting ready to land down from that giant stone, the sky began to rumble again, preparing another wave of heavenly tribulation.

At least that's what Aryan thought for some time.
