Chapter 754: Cundi, Cundi
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
All trainees in Shengjing City knew that it was common knowledge not to display any extravagance there.
13,000 years ago, the rule to train in the periphery of the Star Area had just been passed down. Numerous elite disciples from big sects, especially those young masters, went to Shengjing City to show off. Eventually, they lost all their qualifications. Furthermore, all the sects, or even dynasties, that they were in, died off in the next 100 years. From then on, no one dared to show off in Shengjing City. No matter how arrogant they were, when they arrived at the city, all of them knew they had to restrain themselves.
Zhou Bao sat at the upper level of the restaurant and stared at the big road in front of it. This road led to Hongyi Pavilion in Shengjing City. This Hongyi Pavilion had been used to welcome visitors from all sects during the Qing Dynasty. Every 50 years, this place became the residential area for the trainee disciples. Zhou Bao sat in the restaurant and observed the area for three days and then in Hongyi Pavilion for another few days. Eventually, he found his target.
His target was an elite disciple from an average-sized sect. As a matter of fact, he did not represent just one sect, but a total of 12.
Going to the periphery of the Star Area to train was an extremely grand event in the cultivation world of Eastern Thunder World. If these disciples could come back alive 50 years later, then their ability would surely be increased tremendously. They would also become hot shots in Eastern Thunder World. This training journey was full of danger, yet it presented great opportunities for them.
Hence, all along, the training slots were very much sought after. It may be nothing much for the big dynasties, but for the little sects, these opportunities did not come easily. The less capable the sects, the harder it was to get a slot. Hence, many sects united and used various means to get a slot collectively. Zhou Bao’s target was the person who would get the slot.
This guy could have been very popular in their small sects, but in the context of Eastern Thunder World and in Shengjing City, he was a nobody. Hence, Zhou Bao decided to target this guy.
In order not to raise any suspicions, the guy that Zhou Bao chose must be a loner. Most importantly, his name made Zhou Bao very at ease.
Cundi!
This guy was actually called Cundi!!!
He was called Cundi!
Taking his name into consideration, it would be Zhou Bao’s loss not to use it!
Three months later, Qing Dynasty, Shengjing City, inner city!
The giant parade square that spanned over 100,000 square meters was filled with people. They were the elite disciples from all sects and dynasties that had come to take part in the training at the periphery of the Star Area. Zhou Bao lowered his eyes; even his Divine Awareness was behaving well and did not conduct random scans. As a matter of fact, back when he was still in the restaurant, he had taken a good look at most of these disciples. These people were all below the age of 50. The lowest level of cultivation among them was an Individual Immortal, while the highest one was a Genuine Immortal of Lord of Heaven Realm. Of course, there were not many Lords of Heaven as they were all rare geniuses seen once every few hundred years in their respective sects. They were the ones who received the most attention in this training.
On the podium of the parade square stood a man of average height, dressed in a gold robe. As he spoke enthusiastically, Zhou Bao, who was standing below him, rolled his eyes and thought to himself, “Bloody Kang the Pocked, are you done yet? I believe that with your connections with my west side, you should be sent there so that you can talk from morning to night!”
After one to two hours, Kang the Pocked of Qing Dynasty finally finished his speech. After that, he proceeded to open the Transmitting Formation.
The procedure was not complicated. It had been more than 10,000 years and he had already done it a few hundred times. After a sonorous bang, a light started to radiate from the inner city. It formed a strange talisman above Shengjing City.
Beside the golden-robed man stood a man wearing a eunuch uniform. He spoke calmly, ” Okay, everyone. The Transmitting Formation has already been opened, you can enter now!” His voice was not loud but it resounded like a shock wave into everyone’s ears.
Following the surging waves of people, Zhou Bao walked near the Transmitting Formation. Rank-differences existed everywhere in the world. Those in front were the real disciples who had an extremely strong background. They had already entered the formation and was transported away. For those without any background like Zhou Bao, they were usually the last to be transported. There were also people who were just unlucky. When it was their turn to be transported, their stock of Top Grade Spiritual Stones was suddenly depleted, causing them to lose their chance to train. Hence, when the formation opened, everyone fought to be transported first. Zhou Bao had the same idea at first. When he was making his way to the front and was just about to use some tricks, his Divine Awareness felt something amiss.
“Eh? Strange, how come I can feel Devil Qi?”
Devil Qi was a unique trait of the Primordial Demon. It was brutal, aggressive and filled with the power of destruction. Zhou Bao had dealt with the Primordial Demon before, so he was extra sensitive to this spirit. Although there was only a little bit of Devil Qi coming from the Transmitting Formation, it did not escape Zhou Bao’s Divine Awareness.
“Perhaps there’s the Devil Tribe at the other end of the Transmitting Formation! Maybe this so-called training is to fight with the Primordial Demon?” Just when Zhou Bao was still pondering over this, the space in the Transmitting Formation suddenly twisted. A black light shot up to the sky and through the clouds. The disciples who were standing on the Transmitting Formation turned into ashes after being seared by the black light.
“What’s happening, is this a movie shoot? What’s with the big chaos?”
In the same instant when the black light shot up to the sky, Zhou Bao felt the Devil Qi becoming a thousand times stronger.
One by one, the Devil Tribe rushed out from the black light. They were ferocious, with black scales on their bodies and came in all shapes and sizes. The first ones to come out were the Fierce Owls, which Zhou Bao had met before. There were other kinds of strange beings from the Devil Tribe among the Fierce Owls. They aimed frantically for the crowd. Everyone did not have time to react, including the golden-robed Emperor Kang.
“Help, we need help!”
When a big-sized demon who was about 70% human in appearance pounced on Emperor Kang, he cried out loudly, but was unable to utilize his cultivation of a Genuine Immortal. There were two Genuine Immortals of Lord of Heaven Realm beside him. They stood in front of him immediately, creating a chance to escape for him. That moment was all Emperor Kang needed. It was enough for him to escape from the Devil Tribe’s attack and flee to another safe place. The two Lords of Heaven were immediately ripped into pieces by the demon.
Obviously, this demon had a very high status among those that came out from the magic formation. After ripping the two Lords of Heaven apart, it immediately looked up to the sky and roared. After hearing the sound, the chaotic Devil Tribe suddenly became orderly. They started to rush towards a specific target.
“Oh no, they want to control the Transmitting Formation, we cannot let them succeed, quick, cut off the Transmitting Formation!”
Seeing what the Devil Tribe was doing, someone in Qing Dynasty finally realized what was going on and shouted loudly. However, it was already too late.
Numerous demons whose cultivation were at the peak of Lord of Heaven were scattered all around. They occupied the strategic points of the formation and started to stuff Top Grade Spiritual Stones into these points as if these stones were of no value. The black column of light became thicker and stronger. Numerous Demon Tribes crawled out of it and formed a black cloud in the sky.
“It’s the Devil Realm, the Devil Realm is attacking, the Devil Realm is really attacking, get out of here quickly-!”
Everything happened so quickly that the people in Qing Dynasty had no time to stop it. Or rather, they could not stop it. The Devil Tribe came towards them like a crashing wave.
The Fierce Owls came together and formed a dark cloud in the sky, covering the whole canopy. More Devil Tribes rushed towards the Transmitting Formation. Outside the formation, they had already formed a sturdy defense line, blocking off anyone that was not from the tribe.
The scene was getting chaotic; there were just too many Fierce Owls. They attacked the neighboring crowds without hesitation and caused them to scatter. Likewise, Zhou Bao backed off too. At the same time, he gradually subdued his spirit, making himself disappear seemingly.
“Cundi, you’re Cundi, quickly come and help!”
Just when Zhou Bao thought that he was about to escape from this mess, someone went up to him suddenly and grabbed him, pulling him towards the opposite direction that he was heading for.
“No way? She can feel my Snake-like Breath Holding Skill!” The person grabbing Zhou Bao was a 17 to 18-year-old girl. She seemed to recognize the Cundi that Zhou Bao was pretending to be. She even had a good mafic weapon with her, which was why she appeared so skillful despite the ever growing presence of Fierce Owls. While pulling Zhou Bao, she was busy spouting nonsense at him as well.
“I’ve heard in the past that you stood out in the big competition between 12 sects on the small island. I can’t believe it, to think that you can actually do this, you’re much stronger now compared to when you were little!”
“Who are you?”
“What? You can’t even recognize me? I say, Cundi, you’re too much! Look at me again!” The little girl had a cultivation nearing the Venerable Realm, but her character was just like a little girl, quite hard to handle. Once she heard what Zhou Bao said, she stopped immediately and used her animated eyes to stare deadly into Zhou Bao’s. “I say, Cundi, don’t forget, if it wasn’t for me in the past, you would’ve already been kicked out of master’s home gate by the master! How then would you ever end up here? How, now do you remember who I am?”
Zhou Bao laughed bitterly, “Miss, I’m really sorry. When I was practicing five years ago, I was so into it that my spirit was damaged. I can’t remember anything from that long ago!”
“Ah?” The little miss was obviously in shock. She did not expect to face such an absurd situation when reuniting with an old friend.
