One of the Mortal Realms: Black Serpent Continent: Zhenren Empire: Ven Country: 3rd Class City: Mountain Outskirts

After 3 months

At the outskirts of a mountain a young able bodied child could be seen with dark black hair and bright blue eyes and a slightly handsome face running with 350 jin weights (175kg i find it easier this way and kg sounds weired because i see Jin to many times sorry!) all together strapped around his legs, back and arms as he ran quickly through the terrain avoiding tree by tree as well as sometimes hitting a few trees and falling down the cliffs. Zhou Ye's strength was up to the point where he could lift up 350 jin however this was to see how swift and smart Zhou Ye could be at the same time. 

This youth was none other than Zhou Ye who was bickering with Tang Xuan saying that the training was unfair as well was thinking to himself "How am i meant to do this training!... Hey is he smiling?...." Tang Xuan could be seen with a wide smile as if he was being amused by all this and saw how fustrated Zhou Ye looked and said "Calm down its just simple training nothing hard or anything"

As Tang Xuan was saying these things he thought to himself "Ahahaha he looks quite fustrated anyway its almost time to teach him my cultivation method" Zhou Ye was amazed he had never guessed that Tang Xuan would completely ignore his sufferying he thought he would atleast say some reassuring words but he knew he couldn't do anything and so had to continue on.

Tang Xuan all of sudden said "You see that mountain up there?" Tang Xuan was pointing to a mountain several miles away Zhou Ye would normally never be able to see it however Tang Xuan shared vision with Zhou Ye to also see the mountain. 

Zhou ye replied with an shocked tone and said "Master... do you mean that mountain all the way up there?" Tang Xuan had a grin on his face and replied "What other mountain could i mean? Dear disciple?" To Zhou Ye the heights of the mountain was great and big and Zhou Ye could be considered to be able to break through to the Spirit Disciple realm at any time however was told to wait for the right moment by Tang Xuan.

Zhou Ye then resigned himself to his fate and began to walk to the mountain slowly and only then realised how far the mountain actually was and complained "Master... may i please take off these weights?.."

Regardless even without the weights the journey would take quite some time in reply Tang Xuan replied with a grin and said "Sorry Dear Disciple you need the training" When Tang Xuan was continuously using the phrase "Dear Disciple" it got Zhou Ye quite angry as in his opinion his master didn't seem like he care about him at all!

 After a few hours Zhou Ye managed to climb to the top and luckily managed to avoid any non-mortal beasts due to Tang Xuan guiding him and Tang Xuan then told him to sit down and said "Its time for you to break through into Spirit Disciple" as he did Zhou Ye's body emmited a slight blue light meaning that he succesfully went into the stage of Spirit Disciple and inside his dantian a sea of qi could be getting bigger and bigger and Zhou Ye's body could be seen getting more robust and qi could be seen going through his veins strengthening them and making his body easier to control(normal veins) as the first step into cultivation there was were no tribulations as they were only present for breaking into new realms. (Spirit-soul and etc.) 

At this point the skies suddenly grew dark and Tang Xuan started to look up and created a spirit body and talk to Zhou Ye face to face by and said "Its time for you to learn your first cultivation method, naturally you will learn mine the "Celestial Origin" which allows you to fully use the power of heavens unlike others which defy them" Celestial Origin was different to other cultivation methods instead of defying the heavens they became one with the heavens which also meant the tribulations were differents. 

Tang Xuan then sat down on some rubble and explained how Celestial origin worked "Celestial Origin is the method of forming oneselves with the heavens and when you undergo tribulation you will not undergo that of heaven's but that of hell's". Tang Xuan then started to laugh a bit and said "Ahahaha all those genius's who are proclaimed as son/daughter's of heavens will naturally have no sway over you once you are the heavens themselves" 

Zhou Ye then replied with a confused look "What does it mean to become one with the heavens?" Tang Xuan then lightly hit Zhou Ye's head and replied in a mocking tone "Were you listening or not? You will be formed of the heavens and the heavens judgement will not effect you as heaven does not punish its own and rather you will face the tribulation of hell where heaven will reward you for fighting for it"

If you can't understand it then this is what it means: A body formed by the heavens imagine that if your sentient water you can't be drowned therefore a body of heaven (atleast in this fiction) can't be harmed or targetted by tribulation thus so instead they get hell tribulation.

Like the golden fire from before that was from hell instead of heaven. If you pass hell's tribulation you get rewarded by heaven and about son/daugters of heavens it means they're arrogant to call themselves that and by no sway it means that they're not really worth anything to heaven itself. Imagine Zhou Ye is technichally part of heaven and they're under heaven
