14 Supreme cosmic scripture
In the endless space of darkness and starlight, The countless of star explode and born infinite within the boundless dark; this place is the great nowhere outside of space and reality.
He who floating slumbering within the center of creation unknown to who he is, what he was and what he did. An all-powerful blinded idiot, unknown of his own unlimited power.
Inside the darkness, he reaches out subconsciously to the unknown. A dark page of unknown and unintelligible scribble is within his hand, the language is unknown, and each character gives of the most blasphemous aura and unholy, but it also contains untold power within it.
Then.. the great light shines...
-------------------------
Somewhere in a forest-Inside the bedroom of the big tree house.
"Hhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.."
The sound of inhaling aloud around the quiet forest. The teenage boy breath heavily like a drowned man after he had been helped to get to the shore.
"Yo Kid, You're quite a sleepyhead huh? as expected of you." The suave and charismatic deep voice of a man sounded into his ear.
He is quickly looking at the source of it and sees a tall and charismatic man in a black gold-trim luxurious robe.
"It's you!" He remembers this man. He's the only one that he can't sense his true nature. The Black Merchant.
Yes, This boy is Zhu Wushang that died. But unknown to him he just miraculously survive, and he can even feel his leg again.
"It seems your repaired body function just fine" The Black merchant chuckling.
"Didn't I died? You save my life?" Zhu Wushang ask.
The Black Merchant then silences in deep thought for a moment before answer.
"Um... Yes and No."
"What do you mean?"
The Black merchant then walks to the side of the window and wave his hand to call the boy to see what's below.
"Yes, I try to save you by testing my luck on that thing."
The Black merchant speech perks up his curiosity then he wants to walk and see what's below but the feeling of strange paper in his hand attract him.
"Hm?"
He's looking carefully at his hand and sees a black paper like a page from some books or scripture. The paper is dark black but written in blood red ink. Every character looks like unintelligible scribble, but each of them had meaning and hidden with unholy and blasphemous of untold power beyond mortal mind.
Zhu Wushang is looking at it in a trance. The untold power beyond human perception rush through him to his mind. It increases his strength tremendously without stop, The vast darkness and countless blasphemous character that can command many horrors and the horrendous thing of this world rushing in like a fierce waterfall.
This countless information beyond the human mind would normally destroy the human who read it and drive them to insanity because It focuses so deep into the very essence of things.
Zhu Wushang eye turn into Black-purple one with a lizard-like slit pupil. This scene causes The Black merchant to sweat profusely when he sees it. This eye has successfully instilled fear within him especially after he fully knows of who Zhu Wushang really is.
Before Zhu Wushang consciousness return he tries to examine his eye, but he didn't find a thing that out of the ordinary. This comes to the conclusion that this power of his eye come deep from his very soul.
But this power of Zhu Wushang only effective to the same kind as him The Black Merchant and it can only activate unconsciously against it.
That's why this power is not activated when Zhu Wushang was facing against young master Li or other adversaries that not of his kind.
The transferring continue and the body of Zhu Wushang began to transform. The impurities in his body from the past 14 plus years has been expelled and disintegrate outside of his body.
His firm and hard train muscle become firmer and more luster like a treasured body. His face has become more handsome and more charismatic like sculpting by a god but still has the same outline and the one who knows him will still be able to remember his face.
The power transferring continue until 30 minutes have passed by until it's finished. Then, he slowly gains his consciousness back.
Now He has Strength, Speed, Reaction time, Endurance and Spirit qi rival to a normal of Peak Spirits Ascension realm experts. He can feel his connection to spirits qi in the air; He can use normal non-element spirit qi to activate the treasure or attack. But he cannot use any special abilities of Commander realm and above.
"Oh? Is that the First page of Supreme cosmic scripture? where did you get that?" The Black Merchant ask.
He knew that the first page had been lost for an eon. Many world and realm had been destroyed because of the countless war that fought over and over to possess it.
Now, It just a husk of its former glory even he didn't know where are all the page has been kept. For Example, the first page that he was completely clueless about where it has been kept.
"Supreme cosmic scripture?" Zhu Wushang asks back.
The Black merchant turns to look at Zhu Wushang while leaning his body against the wall and explain.
"Yes, The Supreme Cosmic Scripture It's the most dangerous and forbidden spirits arts. Anyone who tries to learn it with just one page will get an untold power. But with such a vast amount of power and knowledge transferring to their mind in such a short time. The human mind will be shattered beyond repair and go insane."
The explanation from The Black merchant sent a shiver down Zhu Wushang spine. He just learns this sort of dangerous scripture without knowing it and survives. It's like standing naked in the battlefield while countless arrow fire at you but you just miraculously survive without the scratch. In this scenario even if you survive, you can't help trembling with a complex feeling of Relief and Fear.
"Oh? You're quite pale. But it's ok I guaranteed that you would never go insane because of learning this scripture. Because you're not human. You are a being beyond human or even divine beast."
Zhu Wushang startled from the information that he just heard.
"What did you say?"
The Black Merchant smile before explains with a more direct approach.
"I said that your bloodline and birthright is even higher than those True God realm cultivator."
The answer cause Zhu Wushang to become dumbfound he never think that a Spirits root handicap person like him would actually be an unknown powerful race that's not even been heard of before.
"You don't need to doubt my word. Because when it's come to a contract. I never lie."
"What contract?" Zhu Wushang ask.
"A life-long contract to serve, but for what reason and who exactly did I made a contract with. You don't need to know. But if it will satisfy your curiosity. Let's say; he's like your biological father. That's all you need to know." The Black merchant explains further.
"What!?" Zhu Wushang exclaims in shock.
He never thought that he could hear this kind of news from Black merchant own mouth. Honestly, He didn't care who's his real family was because the only family he has is the Zhu Family. But it never hurts to know the truth of the reason why he had been abandoned.
"Must be some reason why you can't tell me my real parents name right? Then, can you tell me why they had abandoned me?" Zhu Wushang asks.
The Black merchant smile a little then fell into deep thought before responding.
"I'm sorry but. No, You're not strong enough to know and keeping your life if something happens. I'm not fond to take a risk too much. But, If you can at least achieve the strength of Beyond True God realm, I'll tell you the truth myself."
Black merchant stop and looking at the thinking expression of Zhu Wushang before continue.
"But to ease your worry about your real parents. I can tell you that your only real parent in a spiritual sense of this word is The Zhu Family only. And, A word of advice from me is for you to live your life to the fullest, Now you have a power that no one can rival within this realm. Enjoy it."
Black Merchant smile then pat Zhu Wushang head before return to a former topic.
"By the way, Where did you get that thing?" The Black merchant asks while pointing at a black page of Supreme Cosmic Scripture.
Zhu Wushang then tells him about his dream in a dark and boundless space of ultimate chaos and how he get this page in that dream.
The Black merchant cold sweat is sweating out profusely. He felt relief not to tell who he really was even if it just a very small chance for the calamity to happen. He doesn't want to risk it. It's better for him to enjoy life and discover then comprehend it himself. That's the way to guarantee that the great calamity would not happen.
