Chapter 340: Zhong Zi
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In a deep mountainous forest, there was a monastery that hadn't been renovated for a long time. People who hacked trees of timber didn't dare to head in. This place was filled with random trees and plants that had vines wrapped around them.
Numerous vines entangled this place and blocked the doors to the monastery.
In the monastery, many poisonous bugs ran outside in panic. It was as if they were afraid they would be in danger if they were any slower.
These poisonous bugs and snakes sensed that there was a terrifying thing inside the monastery.
In it, a young man with broken legs looked at the terrifying monster ahead of him.
There was a ball of demonic energy, and in it, there was a terrifying thing shining.
This young man knew what this was, a soul!
"100,000 years, you know?" The soul in the demonic spirit cried. He wrapped around the young man and teared up. It turned into a highly acidic liquid that dropped down and corroded the ground.
"100,000 years... I have been sealed for 100,000 years and no one came to save me. No one came. I had such a tough fate." The soul in the demonic energy cried out tragically.
The young man gave a mocking laugh, "If they knew that you treated someone who entered like that, they should be lucky that they didn't enter."
He entered the forest to search for treasure. He noticed the monastery and then fell into the seal trap that was laid out. His legs were broken, so he couldn't escape.
The soul in the demonic energy faked his tears and started to describe his sadness.
"I didn't force you. You stepped it yourself. The heavens decided this. He wanted you to save me. Since the heavens decided that, then we can only accept it." The soul in the demonic spirit said innocently. The rumbling demonic energy turned into a face, a harmless face.
"After all, the heavens are huge." The soul in the demonic energy said simply.
"You said that the heavens arranged this?" The young man gave a mocking laugh and looked at the demon.
"Right, the heavens arranged it. The heavens are above all and no matter what, we can't go against the heavens." The demon got close to the young man and sniffed him. He smelled the flesh on his body and was in love.
"Flesh smells so delicious. I haven't had flesh in 100,000 years, how pitiful." The demon sniffed and immersed within.
The young man burst out laughing, "You just want my body."
"Right, I want your body. Although your cultivation isn't high to me, that is okay. I just need your body. Your body is the greatest gift for me." The demon said emotionally.
"Do you think that you can suceed?" The young man asked.
"I think so." The demon nodded.
"I don't think so." The young man retorted.
"What ability do you have to fight?" The demon was stunned. He wasn't in a rush to kill the young man because he needed a body. So, this body couldn't die.
"Take a look. Do you know what this is?" The young man reached out and a red watch appeared in his palm.
The demon was stunned as he looked at the watch. He didn't know what was going on.
"What is that?" The demon asked.
"Something that can save me." The young man crushed it.
Kacha!
His body slowly became illusionary.
"No..." The demon hollered. It waited 100,000 years, 100,000 years of loneliness in exchange for one human body. No matter what, it wasn't willing to lose it again.
"I will take your body now!" The demon hollered. While the young man became illusionary, the demon started to steal its body.
The young man screamed. His head felt like it was about to rip open and he fainted.
His body became paler and paler and he disappeared.
The demon also disappeared.
....
Within the Bank of the Universe, Trading Hall.
Li Xiandao was waiting for a guest. In the next second, a person appeared in the air and smashed heavily into the ground.
Dong!
A heavy thud reverberated all around.
Li Xiandao and Seven glanced at one another.
"What is going on?" Li Xiandao asked.
Seven was in charge of all the guests' infomation.
Seven reached out and slapped, waking up the unconcious young man.
"Save me, Master of the Bank of the Universe. I am willing to pay anything." After the young man woke up and realized the situation, he knelt down and begged.
It was obvious that he had found out about the Bank of the Universe through the watch, saving Li Xiandao time to explain.
"Sit up first." Li Xiandao said calmly. This young man definitely faced some huge problems and it was definitely a matter of life and death. Li Xiandao's first thought was how much he should con him.
After going through the Heaven Mountain matter, Li Xiandao felt that he was too merciful. In the future, he should ask for more things in the contracts.
The young man sat up. He couldn't stand as his legs were broken.
"Sit in the chair." Li Xiandao continued to speak calmly.
The young man used True Qi to fly up onto the chair. He looked nervously at Li Xiandao.
"Introduce yourself and tell me what problems you are facing." Li Xiandao nodded and said.
After Li Xiandao's cold treatment, the young man calmed down and started to describe his own matters.
"I am Zhong Zi Qi, I am a traveler who travels the various worlds." The young man said.
Li Xiandao's eyes lit up, "Travels various worlds?"
Zhong Zi Qi nodded, "I travel the Nine Skies and collect treasures, searching unknown domains. This is my interest. I am 3,000 years old and have traveled the Nine Skies for close to 3,000 years."
Zhong Zi Qi seemed young but he was already 3,000 years old. He was really knowledgeable and had seen all sorts of things. He knew about many people and matters in the Nine Skies and he was pretty much an encyclopedia of the Nine Skies.
This was also why he was able to talk so calmly with the demon. Even with broken legs, he didn't panic.
"Continue." Li Xiandao listened calmly.
"I came to Cold Moon Sky to find treasure but I didn't find anything. Instead, I just found a demon." Zhong Zi Qi took in a deep breath.
"Such a strong demon?" Li Xiandao asked.
Only
He stared at Zhong Zi Qi's head. In it, Li Xiandao saw a ball of demonic energy that was suppressed by the power of the Bank of the Universe.
The demon had entered Zhong Zi Qi's body and entered the Bank of the Universe along with him.
"I am at Legend Realm and have nearly reached Grandmaster Realm. But in the demon's eyes, I am very weak." Zhong Zi Qi choked on water.
In Cold Moon Sky, after Grotto-Heaven, Boundless Realm, and then Legend Realm, were the Nine Stages of Grandmaster Realm!
After Grandmaster Realm was Emperor Realm.
Legend Realm was after Emperor Realm. A demon said that someone at peak Legend Realm was weak, so that demon had to be strong.
But no matter how strong it was, it was useless. It had entered the Bank of the Universe, but here, Li Xiandao was the boss.
