The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan and others stayed in the Garden of Peaceful Heaven for ten days, which equated to one day outside.

In the ten days, everyone fully relaxed and peacefully trained.

Athan had also reached the peak of Orderic Catastrophe by eating Kuriazak fruits to call catastrophes.

His soul strength became much stronger, and he gained more soul energy due to that. It was like...his soul became bigger.

After reaching the peak of Orderic Catastrophe, He already met the requirement to break through to zen order, but he held back on his breakthrough to stabilize the last powerup.

He had also started training in the Initial-elite zen order body method and comprehended its zen order to begin mastering that chaotic body power.

Inside his void region...

The way to train in zen body chaotic power was different than zen essence chaotic power.

In Zen essence chaotic power, people form a chaotic mini-world and gain connection to the source of that chaotic power. By using that connection, people further grasp the order and understand that chaotic power to master it entirely to acquire its chaos trait.

Different chaotic powers have different levels of mastery, and how one manages to master it entirely depends on the user. The final aim for people in the Zen order realm is to make their own source of essence chaotic powers that are only unique to them, and they do that by combining chaotic powers using Orderic Orbs.

Just like how Athan combined Lightning Dust, Force of Glittering River, and the Miz-Zu Enchanted Kingdom.

But this was just the start.

Naturally, The way of body order is different as well since people whose body broke through to Atmospheric Body Realm can manifest their body strength as a physical body force.

Athan had selected an initial-elite zen body order method of the chaotic body power, Icaros Leanus.

Icaros Leanus body order method has only one benefit: incinerate the body with its mystical white hell flames to strengthen it.

This zen body chaotic power was the most straightforward as it only focuses on making one's body stronger overall and doesn't give any special traits except for the increasing rate at which he can manifest his physical body force and increasing the fatigue recovery factor of his body.

But Athan was fine with it since It was just what he wanted.

The Atmospheric Body Realm has three stages.

<Atmospheric Body Realm>

-Physical Body Force Manifestation.

-Physical Body Cloak Manifestation.

-Physical Body Armor Manifestation.

Athan was at the start of the first stage, Physical Body Force Manifestation.

Now, He will have to make his body stronger and accumulate zen body order sets to reach the next stage.

When one reaches the peak of Orderic Catastrophe, one can finally make use of their Order Eidos, and one of its use is to check the zen order sets since all order sets that one comprehended are recorded in Order Eidos as well.

So far, Athan has comprehended and grasped a total of 98 Zen order sets.

From those 98 Zen order sets...

He has 11 zen essence order sets due to Miz-Lu Enchanted Kingdom chaotic power.

24 zen soul order sets due to comprehending Soul Miller Raiser zen soul order method.

19 zen body order sets by comprehending Icaros Leanus zen body chaotic power.

30 mystic zen order sets due to comprehending the second level of the cloud of chaos technique.

And another 14 mystic zen order sets due to comprehending and mastering the elite zen order technique, Myriad Crystal Motile cannons.

The requirement to break through to the Zen order realm is to have 10 zen order sets of essence, body, soul, and Athan had already met the requirement but just suppressed his breakthrough for stabilization purposes.

"Athan, where should we go now?" Tiana asked as she looked at the scroll in her hand, "I think this Music Valley place sounds good. The written benefits are that it can increase our comprehension power and help us enter in the optimal state to grasp the order. Naturally, the music should be the best since its name is Music Valley."

"Yeah, Athan. Let's go there." Sen said with a chuckle.

"Alright. We are going to visit all places anyway, so let's go to this Music Valley first," Athan said as he nodded at Nacy.

Nacy smiled as she nodded and led everyone towards Music Valley.

After walking through some corridors, They entered inside a large portal gate and arrived at a beautiful valley with many people sitting at different tables in front of them.

The tables and chairs were made from mystical wood and leaves.

Beside each table were several blooming flowers as they spread unique fragrances that calmed one's mind.

There was a small hill in front of all those tables that were separated by tens of meters from each other.

On top of the hill was a beautiful young lady sitting with a long musical instrument that Athan had never seen before. It was long with silver strings like one that guitar, but there was also a fan of lines at the end of this instrument.

The fan was covered with a unique material that was as thin as cicadas wings, and as the lady played with the strings on the instrument, the vibrations of those strings would travel to the end of the instrument at the top and then echo a unique sound as it collides with the fan.

The lady was controlled with fan by shrinking and expanding its size to produce unique sound while a hazy, emerald, and gold aura lingered around her that amplified the music and brought unique peace to everyone sitting at the table.

At this time, everyone heard Nacy's voice in their ears as she voices transmitted them, "Let's go the other side of the hill if you want to train. The people at the table are here only to listen to music while people want to train with the boost from music are at the other side."

Athan and others nodded as they started walking forward while listening to the heavenly melodies that soothe their soul and bring peace to their mind.

...

At somewhere inside Heaven's Tranquility...

Lenek was standing in front of a bearded middle-aged man with a slim body. The middle-aged man had the same body features as Zelker and Nelker, who Athan killed.

"L-lord Father...We tried but couldn't find the culprit yet." Lenek spoke with his head down.

On the other hand, Melker was just standing there with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, Melker spoke, "The customers here each have a staff member accompanying them, and all staffs members known Nelker and Zelker, so...by chance a conflict occurred, the staff member would contact you first since you are here."

Lenek hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Melker continued, "But...you are saying you didn't get any news about my sons' death before I informed you, correct?"

"Y-yes, Lord father. I can even swear a chaos oath on that, and there are also those people who were with me the entire time."

Melker turned his gaze to Elk and frowned, "Then could it be that one of y-"

"Stop right there, Melker. If you accused the staff members here then...you can forget about asking our aid in search of your sons' deaths." Elk's expression turned cold as she interrupted Melker.

Melker nodded indifferently, "Fine. But then...how and who killed my sons?"

The hands behind Melker's back were tightly clenched such that blood was coming out. The anger was bubbling inside him, but he had nowhere to vent it! He didn't even know the culprit behind his sons' death!
