Chapter 373: The Two Strongest Sects In Zhen Xing (2/2)
Immortal equipment, this was a thing of legends, an item of the Immortal Realm. Even in the Immortal Realm, it was still a legendary existence. Even though there were a handful of Worldly Immortals here, everyone knew that while they were called Worldly Immortals, they were still 108,000 li away from actual immortals. [2] Being called Worldly Immortals was simply a form of consolation. Because out of 90% of people who actually cultivated to this stage met a dead end, finding it hard to progress any further, much less break through the void.
They never expected that an immortal equipment had appeared on Zhen Xing, and there were even two big sects that went to war because of that immortal equipment.
By this time, everyone became even more silent and listened to Chi Huo'Er's words.
”After Zhu Nanshan was killed, Tian Ji'Zi did not simply leave Reincarnation Dao Sect to be. After all, over the years, Tian Ji Sect had suffered several times under the hands of Reincarnation Dao Sect. What was originally one of the two greatest sects in Zhen Xing, Reincarnation Dao Sect was actually eradicated.”
When Chi Huo'Er got to this point, he started shaking his head, ”It would have been fine if Tian Ji'Zi did things in a clear-cut manner. However, Tian Ji'Zi wasn't clear-cut; he allowed Zhu Nanshan's female slave to survive. That female slave was even pregnant with Zhu Nanshan's flesh and blood.”
All those that heard this could guess that Tian Ji Sect should have been destroyed my Zhu Nanshan's descendant, because they have never heard of this Tian Ji Sect.
”That female slave secretly gave birth to Zhu Nanshan's flesh and blood, naming him Zhu Fu. There were two meanings behind Zhu Fu’s name. [3] One was to rebuild Reincarnation Dao Sect, the other was to avenge Zhu Nanshan. That Zhu Fu's talent was exceptional; despite not having any cultivation resources, he managed to cultivate to become a supreme expert in a mere hundreds of years.
But right at this moment, the Lost Continent, where Tian Ji Sect was situated in, experienced an unforeseen disaster. That disaster crippled and killed the heroes and geniuses of Lost Continent. Those that didn't die, fled off the Lost Continent and headed towards Zhen Mo Continent…”
Only now, did everyone know that the two sects of Chi Huo'Er's story were from the Lost Continent.
”Even though Zhu Fu's cultivation was exceedingly high, he was unable to escape misfortune. Even the natural laws of Lost Continent had been broken. Naturally, he did not escape unscathed as he lost his cultivation. Even so, he still dragged his heavily injured body and survived. Even though he was once at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage and was at the brink of breaking through the void, without his cultivation, he could only head towards the mortal world.
Ever since Zhu Fu was born, he only knew how to cultivate. How would he know how to make a living to survive? After losing his cultivation, and to hide the fact that he was once a cultivator, he had to do hard, menial work. However, he did not dare about this; he only wanted to have a son, and pass on all his legacies to his son.
Unfortunately, after he lost his cultivation, he also lost his ability to procreate. Luckily, his longevity was strong, and he managed to live on for thousands of years. These thousands of years were not spent on nothing, at least he managed to find a Foetus Formation Fruit.
When his life was about to reach an end, he met a mortal girl with supreme grade spiritual roots. Not only did that girl use her two hands to raise him, she even helped him give birth to a son using the Foetus Formation Fruit.
Zhu Fu passed down everything he learnt onto his son, and his son’s talent was even much stronger him. I even heard that they went back to the ruins of Reincarnation Dao Sect and found peerless and secret manuals relating to the Dao of Reincarnation… When his son was only 7 years old, Zhu Fu ran out of his longevity, and perished.”
When Su Xuan listened to this story, her heart started pounding. She believed that Chi Huo'Er wouldn't tell them these things for no apparent reason. Since Chi Huo'Er had said it, then there must be some link, ”Manager Chi, what is the name of Zhu Fu's son?”
Chi Huo'Er's seemingly hazy eyes suddenly seemed to light up, then it turned dim again, ”His son is called Zhu Qu. When Zhu Qu reached the Yuan Dan Stage, he went to the already weakened Tian Ji Sect and slaughtered everyone there…”
”Manager Chi, no matter how weak Tian Ji Sect had become, it couldn't have been casually destroyed by a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator right?” Yan Ze asked in doubt.
Chi Huo'Er nodded, ”What you said is right. But that only applies to other people. Zhu Qu doesn’t follow the same logic. When Zhu Qu was in the advanced Yuan Dan Stage, he could already kill True Lake Stage cultivators. The higher his cultivation, the stronger he becomes. He is very strong…”
Seemingly not knowing the appropriate words to describe Zhu Qu, Chi Huo’Er could only use one word: Strong.
After a brief pause, Chi Huo’Er continued, ”Those years ago, Zhu Qu was still very young, so he doesn’t know that a small part of Tian Ji Sect still survives now. After he destroyed Tian Ji Sect, he took away that immortal equipment, then returned back to the mortal city where he stayed with his mother. He massacred the entire city, not even a baby was left behind.”
”Why?” Su Xuan asked in aghast.
Chi Huo”er replied, ”Even though his mother obtained the support of many of her neighbours to survive, she had also suffered under the humiliation of many. All these were treated as a form of humiliation to him; he felt that these mortals have stained his existence. It didn’t matter whether they had helped him, or whether they had insulted him; he killed all of them.
”So vicious…” Even though the cultivators here do not think much of mortals, they also wouldn’t be able to kill mortals that helped them.
”Thereafter, he left Lost Continent and arrived at Zhen Mo Continent. He soon found a footing within an assassins guild, and he eventually became the sect head… I believe everyone has already guessed it. He is Broken Sect’s sect head, Zhu Qu,” Chi Huo’Er’s tone was a little feeble.”
[1] Heaven’s Destiny is actually the translation of Tian Ji.
[2] 108,000 li is the distance that Sun Wukong traveled in the Journey to the West.
[3] The ‘Fu’ in Zhu Fu’s name has several meanings, one of which is to recover and restore; the other is to avenge or take revenge.
