The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 76 ~ Zhang Zhili's past stories.

"... In fact, even if you do something so meritorious, your services will not be remembered because of your low strength!" 

Zhang Zhili began to explain to Zhang Ziyi related to how this Dragon Continent was.

Nodding signs of understanding. Now Zhang Ziyi felt challenged to be on this continent. 

"Ziyi'er, we better rest in the realm of the soul. At once I will tell you related to my experience while in this Dragon Continent!"

Zhang Ziyi nodded. Then the young man created a portal connecting with the realm of the soul.

Whush!

Whush!

Zhang Zhili entered the portal and was followed by Zhang Ziyi behind him. Right after Zhang Ziyi entered that black energy vortex, the dimensional Portal suddenly closed.

Swoshis!

Disappear the portal from there.

Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Zhili, who had returned to the soul realm, began to be welcomed by the people there.

"Sister Ziyi, how are things outside? Did we get to where the teacher meant?" Zhang Bie asked as he sat on Laohu's back.

"Hmm, No. But a little more we'll get there! Oh yea. How are our members developing here?" Watching around. 12 Elders were busy training hard. Also members of the centaurus race who perform their activities.

Zhang Ziyi felt that there was progress towards the centaurus race as well as those 12 elders of the Zhang clan.

"As Brother Ziyi saw! The cultivation of the current 12 elders was close to breaking through to the Sky realm of stage 6. Also the Centaurus races that have also increased a lot. Where Moi Hu managed to break through the 9th stage of the sky realm, while Moi Wang managed to break through the 8th stage of the Sky realm," Zhang Bie explained.

Silent for a moment. Zhang Ziyi seemed to be thinking of something.

"Hm! Being a leader but having cultivation under his own subordinates was not kereen!" thought. "It seems like I have to increase my cultivation in order to always be above them, and become a worthy leader."

"good job. In addition to overseeing their work, you also have the right to train yourself and increase your strength!" zhang Ziyi said, raising all four of his friends.

"That's why I'm taking you to that place. In order to train you to be strong, and you can also make changes to the element elements perfectly. Changing Qi energy made it a weapon. So even if you don't have a sword or something, you can use that elemental change instead of your weapon!" Zhang Zhili.

"We understand the teacher!" reply Zhang Bie and his three companions simultaneously.

"Oh yes, Master! You said you were going to tell us about how it used to be a teacher when it was in the Dragon Continent!" Zhang Ziyi reminded Zhang Zhili to tell his past to himself as well as his four comrades. At once he was also curious as to what the past of his guru– was. How could the man face the harshness of the Dragon continent with such a low cultivation back then.

"Hmm, the story is quite long, but I'm still going to tell you. Incidentally the last few months, we rarely rest compared to activities. Also the trip to the Seven Elements Sect staying only took 2 days of travel. So for now, we use the time to unwind the saturation and burden of the mind for a moment, before resuming."

Before telling the story, Zhang Zhili first noticed the faces of his students who seemed impatient to hear the story from him.

"In the past, I once broke through the realm of a stage 5 God. However, an unwanted thing happened to me...!"

A few words from Zhang Zhili, successfully making his students flinch between believing and disbelief.

"If indeed the teacher ever reached the realm of Gods. Then, why is it that when we meet the teacher, the cultivation teacher is at the 2nd stage of the Sky realm?" ask Zhang Lan.

"Can't you hold back your– question? The teacher hasn't told you the full story yet, and you've asked... You imbecile!" Zhang Yin who had lately become a quiet man, yet this time he started to let out his voice.

"Brother Yin, what day is this? Is today a good day for you, so I let out that melodious sound of yours?" Zhang Meng teased Zhang Yin.

"Haissh! Dare you say that again, get your mouth ready I'm ripped!" Zhang Yin said threateningly.

"try it! It's also that if you're bis—" hasn't finished the sentence yet, a water ball has already hit Zhang Meng's head.

"Brother Yin, what are you doing?" angry Zhang Meng. He could not accept that the suit he was wearing had now been drenched by the water energy that Zhang Yin threw at him.

"You asked for it yourself, didn't you?" said guiltlessly Zhang Yin.

"Kau–" Willing to say but stuck in the throat. It was indeed his fault that challenged Zhang Yin earlier.

A small lump was painted on Zhang Zhili's lips when he saw this little quarrel of his students. Moments like this are certainly going to be missed when they grow up. Of course, moments like this will not be repeated again, because the bigger, the busier he is.

"Already! That silly quarrel of yours, it will only delay the teacher telling a story!" said Zhang Bie.

"Before, I was part of the Seven Elements sect!"

"really?" Zhang Lan asked in disbelief, and naturally made Zhang Zhili's story to be cut off a second time.

Nodding, Zhang Zhili then again said, "The Seven Elements Sect is one of the sects in the Dragon continent. It has seven divisions, each of which teaches different elements." Zhang Zhili answered Zhang Lan's question.

Nodding signs of understanding. Zhang Lan was actually about to ask further related to the sect, yet he chose to undo his intentions. Letting Zhang Zhili finish his story.

"Oh yes, teacher. How does the story tell if the teacher who was in the realm of Gods, had even descended to the realm of Sky Stage 2?" If Zhang Lan had asked, it was now Zhang Meng's turn to ask the question.

Zhang Zhili then told the origin of why his cultivation could decline drastically.

Back then the Seven Elements sect had a huge slump. The sect that was stamped as a big sect, almost declined to a middle sect. There was even the possibility of becoming a small sect.

The sect suffered heavy losses.Every year there were mostly disciples who came out from the sect. There were not even any more disciples who signed up to become part of the Seven Elements sect.

It itself is caused by a strange disease that comes from nowhere. The infectious disease within a month has claimed hundreds of lives.

What made the sect even more restless was that no pill or medicine could cure the disease.

Because of this, the elders and sect heads in each division held a meeting to discuss the matter.

The meeting that lasted until several days, but never found enlightenment related to a problem that was quite large.

There was no other choice, Zhang Zhili whose original name was Chen Huali chose to propose to solve the problem, using his theories.

Try to make a supplement that can cure the disease.

No one doubted Chen Huali's ability in terms of researching. So they could only hope that Chen Huali could solve the problem. With a lure, if Chen Huali could finish it, then he would get a huge reward.

-

The day goes on. It had been over a month that Chen Huali was in a closed room to complete his research. Eat once in two days. And unbeknownst to him, the matters of the sect were also getting out of control as time went on.

Fearing that the sect would be completely destroyed, Chen Huali further deepened his concentration. High level focus. For another month, Chen Huali finally finished his research.

But unfortunately, to be able to refine the supplement, Chen Huali had to sacrifice his cultivation to drop drastically and end up at the 2nd stage of the Heaven realm. Worse, he could no longer break through to the next stage due to the Meridians that started unstable and ended up clogged.

-

Thanks to his artificial supplement, the Seven Elements Sect finally managed to return to its performance. The infectious disease was eventually cured.

Unfortunately that great sacrifice did not produce good results for Chen Huali. Indeed, he got a big prize, as promised, also he had in the flattering.

But that flattery they took out only when meeting with Chen Huali. While behind him, they even insulted and belittled Chen Huali.

How not. That drastically decreased cultivation, making him the weakest among the weakest. So they feel disgusted to see it. He wanted Chen Huali to immediately exit the Seven Elements sect.

-

As the days passed, Chen Huali began to feel uncomfortable to constantly be in the sect. The more days, their treatment of him grew bolder. Even his great sacrifice was not seen at all when his cultivation had decreased.

Chen Huali resumed his research, related to his Meridian problem.

Unfortunately, the case he experienced was fairly rare, so to overcome it, Chen Huali needed rare items as well.

Therefore, Chen Huali chose to leave the sect. Aside from being uncomfortable in the Seven Elements sect, Chen Huali also wanted to look for medicines that he had assessed to solve the problem.

Zhang Lan, Zhang Meng, Zhang Bie, Zhang Yin even Laohu until made emotion heard the story from Zhang Zhili.

"It's so brave that heartless man treats such a teacher!'' Zhang Lan said with low but cold intonation.

"Be careful! If I get there, I'll just flatten the sect!" said Zhang Meng.

Zhang Zhili himself could only smile faintly at the response his students had sent out.

"What are you guys thinking? There are, even you who will die in one attack only!" zhang Ziyi.
