Volume 2 Chapter 32: Hundred-Year-Old Sworn Enemy

  It's freezing outside and this kid without air conditioning is really pitiful. Writing is not easy, so please give me some warmth with your recommendation votes!

  Back at the villa, Chu Yu locked the door and immediately took out the jade slip that recorded "The Demonic Compendium". According to Shen Meng's words, this compendium not only recorded the essence of the "Demonic Cultivation" technique but also contained information about the habitats of countless demonic creatures.

  Undoubtedly, this "Wan Yao Lu" is indeed the thing that Chu Yu needs most now to refine the Tong Ling Bao Yu. Whether or not the spiritual guide of the Qian Tong Yao's inner elixir can be obtained depends entirely on it.

  Divine consciousness swept through Yu Yan's eyes, and in just a few minutes, Chu Yu had already recorded the records of various demons in "The Demonic Compendium" into his mind.

  According to the records, the Qianling Yaoxing likes to haunt places with strong spiritual energy, moving swiftly like a gust of wind, resembling a lion or tiger in shape, with thousands of eyes on its back. It feeds on the spiritual energy of various innate and acquired spiritual objects. When this demon is first born, it only has one demonic eye on its back, and every year, another eye will appear until it has practiced for a thousand years, at which point all its eyes will open simultaneously, allowing it to condense its internal elixir. After another hundred years, it can transform into a human shape, becoming a demon cultivator with the ability to gaze upon the Heavenly Way.

  "The Demonic Compendium" also divides the world's demonic creatures into four levels and twelve ranks: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. This Thousand-Eyed Demon is actually ranked as a first-rate Earth-level demon, only one step away from being comparable to the heavenly demons like the Ancient Desolate Beasts.

  Western Mountain Hua Shan and Dragon Tiger Mountain both have records of the appearance of Qian Tong Yao. Among them, the Qian Tong Yao Chu Yu from Dragon Tiger Mountain is no longer expected to appear, because the Qian Tong Yao captured by his master back then was indeed from Dragon Tiger Mountain. Now it seems that only Hua Shan has the possibility of having a Qian Tong Yao.

  Although Shen Menggu had already told Chu Yu that the "Wan Yao Lu" was from a distant era and most of the places where the monsters were recorded were either abandoned or those monsters had been captured by cultivators, or they had become powerful enough to achieve immortality, but Chu Yu had another measure.

  To know that the Thousand Eyes Demon is listed as a first-class earth demon, its abilities are not something that ordinary cultivators can deal with. Moreover, the Thousand Eyes Demon's cautiousness is simply unmatched among all demons, and ordinary cultivators can't even see it, let alone capture it.

  At the same time, Qian Tong Yao is almost useless for 99% of cultivators. Not to mention that before forming an inner elixir, Qian Tong Yao has no use at all. Even after forming an inner elixir, due to its special nature, cultivators cannot take its inner elixir to improve their cultivation. It can be said without exaggeration that in the eyes of most cultivators, Qian Tong Yao's value is not even comparable to a yellow-grade second-rate Dan Yao.

  In Chu Yu's view, the only one in the entire Zhongtu Xiu Zhen realm who would go to great lengths to capture the Qian Tong Yao is him. This is because he is the only one who can use the Wu Yun True Fire of the Lianbao Pavilion to separate the inner elixir from the Qian Tong Yao. Furthermore, unlike other demon creatures that can take on human form in just a few hundred years, the Qian Tong Yao's inability to do so makes it likely that the creature recorded in the "Wanyu Lu" that appeared on Mount Hua still exists.

  "The refining of the Spirit Treasure Jade is inevitable, and this trip to Mount Hua cannot be avoided. However, with my current cultivation level, capturing the Thousand Eyes Demon seems a bit lacking, I must condense the Golden Elixir in a short period of time, otherwise, if I fail to capture the demon and get injured by it instead, that would be disastrous."

  Chu Yu was deep in thought at the same time, and other ideas were also stirring. "Capturing demons has its own particularities and limitations, and it requires a special treasure to match. The 'Tiger Seal' in his hand, whether in terms of power or effect, is not very useful for capturing the Thousand-Eyed Demon. Now there is indeed a treasure worth cultivating, but considering his current cultivation level and strength, forcibly cultivating this treasure would be somewhat strained. Moreover, the key material was also missing one... unless..."

  "...For the sake of the Lingbao, it seems I have no choice but to ask for his help... At worst, I'll just consider it a favor owed to him." Chu Yu had always disliked owing others favors. Even if he did owe someone, he would think of every possible way to repay them. As he used to say, "Repaying a favor is far more comforting than refining a top-tier third-grade artifact." But this time, he had no choice but to seek out the help of an old friend of over a hundred years.

  "Xiao Bai, help me get in touch with someone, you know this person too..."

  "Isn't that right, boss? Didn't you declare a complete break with him back then? And with that guy's hot temper, if he finds out where you are, I'm worried he'll come looking for trouble with you over what happened in the past." Bai Cen Can couldn't help but anxiously advise after hearing Chu Yu Bo mention that person's name.

  "It's not as serious as you think. Now I have something important that requires his help. After you contact him, just tell him that Chu Yu has been reborn and now needs his help with some matters. Then give him the address of my Tang Chen Hao Garden villa and that's it. Don't worry about anything else."

  Bai Cen didn't say anything else. He absolutely and unconditionally obeyed Chu Yu's orders. Moreover, whether it was thirty years ago or now, Chu Yu had never made any mistakes, almost all plans and actions were perfect, which also made Bai Cen and the other two old subordinates have absolute blind obedience to their boss.

  The headquarters of the Chinese Dragon Group, a shabbily dressed old Taoist with a sloppy appearance was scolding sixteen elite members of the Dragon Group who were lined up in front of him with his legs crossed.

  "You're all pig-brained! A simple Divine Thunder Seal like that, I've been teaching you for half a month now, and the best one among you can only manage to release a foot-long thunderbolt. I really don't know how your sect managed to take in such trash."

  "Alright, I'll give you a final demonstration. If anyone still can't release the Divine Thunderbolt in ten days, I'll personally send them back to their sect's headquarters. They'd only be embarrassing themselves by staying here anyway."

  A rather comical old Taoist with a pair of triangular eyes stood up and spoke, his entire body looking very disheveled, but he had a pair of white jade-like slender hands. Suddenly, he turned to face a 20-meter-high, 5-meter-wide concrete block in front of him, his ten fingers fluttering like butterflies as he made dazzling hand gestures.

  It was only a matter of seconds, and the old Taoist's hands had changed at least a hundred seals, such a frightening speed, that even the Tian Shi Sect, which was known for its mastery of seal techniques, would have to admit defeat.

  "The Heavenly Punishment points to the place with thunder and lightning, then turns to the six Ding in the middle, the divine night thunder appears." The decisive seal changes to later, the despicable old Dao suddenly slaps out a palm, a dazzling golden light shoots out from his palm, transforms into a visible meter-long thunderbolt that bursts out, hitting a huge concrete stone block ten meters away.

  A loud crash shook the air, and a massive concrete block disintegrated into a cloud of swirling dust.

  "Give you twenty more days. If by then you can't even reach the standard of my half-hearted effort just now, then get the hell out and go back home."

  The old man sneered and turned around, not even giving a glance to the elite disciples from various prestigious sects of the Central Plains' Cultivation Realm, who were standing in front of him. He pulled out a flat whiskey bottle from his pocket, took two big swigs, smacked his lips, and said: "What are you still standing there for? Get lost!"

  They seemed to have gotten used to the old man's scolding. The 16 elite dragon group members, whose cultivation levels ranged from mid-Golden Dan to early Yuan Ying, bowed to the old man before retreating.

  "This Dragon Group's leader position is really not easy to hold, in another half year, it will be the time limit that I promised with that person back then. At that time, old Daoist me can go wherever I want, cannot stay here teaching a group of little brats..."

  "Huo Yun Dao Chang." A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform walked into the training room, with two bars and three stars on his shoulders, surprisingly, he was a lieutenant colonel.

  Look who's here. Huo Yun Lao Dao stretched his waist and said, "Now that the younger ones have been trained, if there are any special tasks, let them handle it. Don't always bother me with trivial matters."

  "Huo Yundao Chang, I'm not here to ask you to take on a mission," Colonel squeezed out a smile and said.

  "Is that another new member of the Dragon Group who wants me to train?" Huoyun Lao said with a tilted head: "No way, this batch of dragon group members has only been in office for two years, and there are still three years left, it's impossible for any sect of Xiuzhen to not know this rule and send another disciple over here..."

  The colonel nodded respectfully and responded with a "yes", for the hundreds of years old cultivator in front of him, not to mention that he was just a regimental commander, even if the military district commander came, he would still have to be polite. As one of the persons in charge of the Dragon Group headquarters, he was very clear about the ferocity of Huoyun Daoist, and also knew that if it weren't for the fact that Huoyun Daoist owed a favor to the great ancestor back then, he wouldn't have agreed to lead this strongest and most special Chinese dragon group composed of cultivators. If he were to offend him, his colonel title would be gone.

  "It was your family's private phone call just now... so I rushed over to tell you."

  Huoyun Daoist's private secret phone number is known to no more than ten people in the world. Since its existence, it has only been used once, during the late Cultural Revolution period, when Taizu personally called and asked Huoyun Daoist for help in intercepting a military plane that was about to leave Outer Mongolia. However, because Huoyun Daoist had drunk too much wine that day, he misheard "intercept" as "destroy", and with a single strike of his divine lightning, the plane was reduced to scrap metal.

  Now the secret phone rang for the second time. Huo Yun Dao Ren's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. In his memory, he knew that the only person who knew this unique secret phone number was almost dead or in hiding. It seemed that only three followers of his old friend in the mundane world knew about it.

  "What are those little brats looking for me for..." With a hint of puzzlement, Huoyun Dao Ren finally put away the whiskey bottle and said with a wave of his hand, "Go take a look."

  The name "Chinese Dragon Group" is overused, I know that too. Can someone help think of a better name? Can't I change it? Now soliciting a cool and awesome organization name, after all, it's a special organization composed of pure cultivators. Please send your naming ideas to the comment section, whether adopted or not, will be added to the collection.
