754 Cundi, Cundi (1/2)
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.
