Chapter 766: The Earthly Immortal Acts

“What? An Earthly Immortal? You mean there is an Earthly Immortal in the Eastern Thunder Sect?!” Ruo Lin jumped up, like a kitten being trodden on its tail. She did not know the secret communication between Zhou Bao and the Ghost Child, but the two words “Earthly Immortal” said by Zhou Bao excited her nerves as well as the people standing beside her. All of them looked extremely grave.

“Fellow Taoist Cundi, are you sure there is an Earthly Immortal in the Eastern Thunder Sect?!”

“It is a matter of great importance, so I would not have informed you if I was not sure!” Zhou Bao grinned. “If what I felt is right, there is indeed an Earthly Immortal in the Eastern Thunder Sect. However, he might have just entered this realm and is anxious to consolidate his strength. And that’s why the Eastern Thunder Sect would launch a blood sacrifice. With an Earthly Immortal protecting the Eastern Thunder World, even though the Eastern Thunder Sect kills all the practitioners in this world and even in the surrounding macro worlds, nothing serious will happen. The Eastern Thunder Sect can regain its power and influence of the past at any time and is even able to become one of the strongest macro worlds in the Eastern Land as long as both the Eastern Thunder World and that Earthly Immortal exist. This is its cunning plan. But it is a pity you will become the stepping-stones and cannon fodder of its rise in the Eastern Land.”

“Damn! Things can never go like this!” Zhou Bao vividly described all this with every detail. Coupled with the rumors that had recently spread in the Eastern Thunder Sect, he completely ignited the anger of the few practitioners around Ruo Lin, including the real Cundi.

“Fellow Taoist Cundi, since you are well aware of this matter, I assume you must have come up with a solution, right? You know our strength. We are the weakest among all the practitioners. Even if you have devised a plan and want to treat others as cannon fodder, you will not choose us, will you?”

The most steady person among them asked Zhou Bao slowly.

“Haha, of course I won’t. I have no intention of harming you guys. I warn you because of my friendly relations with you and I occupied Cundi’s name!” Zhou Bao chuckled and looked at Cundi, who looked quite upset. “I occupied your name, therefore, we’re related through Karma. If you are willing to change your name, I don’t mind tiding you guys over this crisis to end my Karma with you!”

“Why should I change my name?!” Cundi almost jumped in anger. The man in front of him was detestable—not only did he occupy his name, but also requested him to change his own name. He had never heard of such a rude offer.

“I do connect with you through Karma by using your name, but that’s not sufficient to coerce me to assist you all and fight that Earthly Immortal. However, if you accept my suggestion to change your name, there should be enough Karma and I’ll have every reason to lend my aid!” Zhou Bao smiled.

“You…!” Cundi pointed at Zhou Bao and could not utter a word. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and asked with eyes wide open, “What did you say? You will fight that Earthly Immortal?!”

“He entered the Earthly Immortal Realm recently and his cultivation is not stable, so he is by no means invincible. Although my cultivation ranks lower than his, I have the means to ensure that I can escape his clutches. It won’t make any difference taking a few people with me. Although I have to take some risks in this case, whether I should take this risk or not depends on your sincerity!” Zhou Bao smiled and then glanced at Cundi.

“You really can assist us?” After hearing Zhou Bao’s words, the surrounding people all stared at Cundi. Cundi, far from a fool, sighed in his heart and asked.

“Of course, I’m sure!” Zhou Bao smiled. “As long as you relinquish your name, I guarantee your escape!”

“So be it. Since you have said that, I will relinquish it so long as you can lend your assistance!”

“Deal!” said Zhou Bao. “I won’t push you to do that. You can relinquish it after you have escaped. But if you go back on your word at that time, you will bear a consequence that may exceed in severity than that of staying here!”

“Sure, I understand!” replied Cundi, greatly relieved. Given Zhou Bao’s behavior and tone, he figured that having set his mind to occupy his name, the man in front of him—Zhou Bao, was considerably confident about helping them out. Although he did not know why Zhou Bao occupied his name, he would not be so stupid to refuse this proposal of hope and survival in this desperate situation. Moreover, the condition Zhou Bao offered seemed acceptable. If he was allowed to change his name after the dangerous predicament, the risk he faced would be reduced to the minimum extent. Without a doubt he would change his name after that because a man who could fight and escape from an Earthly Immortal was by no means someone a few Genuine Immortals could risk fighting against. There only existed one outcome, whether they confronted Zhou Bao or an Earthly Immortal—they all would be killed by them with a single finger. When facing a person like Zhou Bao, going back on one’s words simply meant death, and all of them did not even stand a chance to escape.

“You are really interesting. Does the name ‘Cundi’ sound so pleasant to the ear? Why do you have to occupy his name?” Ruo Lin asked discontentedly, scratching her head in confusion.

“It is not a pleasant name to hear, but it bears meaning to me. I have struggled to grasp it, so it is not convenient to reveal!”

Of course it had meaning.

Cundi, Seven Wonderful Techniques, Tree of Seven Wonders, and Eight Nine Mysterious Skill!

Even a fool knew there was something fishy about these dealings. Zhou Bao was confused and could not tell what it was. However, there must be some connection between them. If he had not heard this name, he would probably not have harbored so many thoughts. However, he heard this name in the Shengjing City and encountered this person by accident. If that was merely a coincidence, then everything would be too strange and coincidental.

Because of all this, Zhou Bao’s determination to occupy this name grew. There were untold practitioners in the world. Except having their own names, they still owned many Taoist names. Therefore, it was commonplace to have a Taoist name that bore no resemblance to one’s original name.

Zhou Bao felt as if he was on the right track, but where this track led to and what it brought him was something he could not predict. However, he did not think he would suffer losses because of this name.

These thoughts swirled around in his mind.

“Then what should we do now? Stay with you? Everyone is trying their best to break the space of the Thunder Capital. You don’t want to have a go as well?”

“I mustn’t. Although I can break the space here, I cannot save so many people!” Zhou Bao swept around and waved his sleeve. He covered a group of people in front of him in an independent space. This space was so wondrous that people standing inside it saw everything happening outside clearly, but those standing outside could not see anything within. For others, it appeared invisible.

“There are too many practitioners. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy.”

“Alert the enemy? Then are we staying like this now?!”

“Of course. The Eastern Thunder Sect will not watch the situation worsen. The Earthly Immortal will act!”

“Really?!” Everyone stared at him in shock. Soon after, sheer fear washed over their faces. And just when Zhou Bao spoke, an enormous willpower appeared out of thin air and descended. It swept across the entire Thunder Capital in an instant. All practitioners lost their consciousness immediately because of it.

Yes, they lost their consciousness.

At this point, in the Thunder Capital, the most powerful ones among the hundred million practitioners were at the peak of the Immortal Realm. But they lost their consciousness as well. The more powerful they were, the longer they were able to remain sober. At the moment when they lost consciousness, an extremely strange power swarmed out of the Thunder Capital. It seemed to have been programmed with a sophisticated procedure. It pushed the bodies of these practitioners to certain locations of the Thunder Capital. Like chess pieces, these powerful practitioners were pushed to where they should be by the mysterious power. Then, a huge altar formed.

“Hmm? Interesting!”

All of a sudden, the strong willpower discovered something interesting. Two hot and invisible lines of sight shifted to the separated space that Zhou Bao created.

“What are you looking at?” Zhou Bao raised his hand and punched them.

“Bang!!”

His fist hit something solid.

His face turned pale and he retreated one step. His space suddenly exploded.

Those protected by the space, including Ruo Lin, turned pale as well. They were pushed away by the strong impact and severely injured.

Nonetheless, the willpower weakened due to this punch. The practitioners whose cultivation reached the Immortal Realm regained their consciousness soon enough.

“Hurry up! Open the altar!”

Obviously, the Earthly Immortal in the Eastern Thunder Sect did not expect Zhou Bao to be so fierce and his punch so powerful. However, at this moment, even though these Immortals regained their consciousness, it was no big deal. In the altar that the Eastern Thunder Sect prepared for so many years, everything proved futile, no matter how powerful they were.

“A half step to Earthly Immortal! I didn’t expect someone like you would appear here. Hahahaha, I have just reached the Earthly Immortal Realm and am worried about my unstable cultivation. If I can seize you and steal your power, I will stabilize my strength within the next 1,000 years. Hahahaha, what an unexpected harvest indeed!”
