Zhen Zhi Childhood ( 3 - 5 )
Back into Rising Sky City.
"What !!!? He, only a mere village chief, not only dare to refuse my offer, but also disrespect me !!? " Asked the young man with a mad tone.
"Yes, this lowly servant ask for forgiveness, but the report from young master Geyler said that." Said the old man.
[Geyler. . . He is someone who not stupid enough to create a trouble, So the only logical reason for the refusal is they really don't want to part with their treasure.] Thought the young man.
"Any other message from Geyler? " Asked the young man to confirming his thought.
"There is no further message from young Geyler." replied the old man.
"Good, now go call the chief commander into this room, now !"

"I'm bored." Said Fen Yi
"Ngg? Aren't now this is the time with the most fun. The boy will face some trouble, hehe hehe. " grin Shu Zan.
"We both already knew the outcome."
"Well, you right."
"How can you not bored in this 4 years ?"
"Hmph, you never knew the pain of slave link. To me, this 4 years is my most relaxing time in my life."
"Ah, at least, you already recover all of your memory." said Fen Yi with a sad smile.
"Eh, so you can think in a positive way ? Were you somehow possessed ? Said Shu Zan with a surprised face.
"You . . . . That's not funny."
"Just kidding okay. Since you really bored, how about if you listen to my story?
Before Fen Yi answered Shu Zan already spoke his tale.
"Once I went into the world with almost no Qi." Told Shu Zan shortly.
"No Qi? How can that possible, can't it be, it is the world of science?
"Yeah, my master order me to retrieve something from that world. Yes, the place I visit is a place where science reigns over the law."
"In that place, most mankind born weak, since there are no Qi that accelerates their growth, they can only walk properly when they reach 5 years old and talk properly when they reach 6 - 7 years old. But in that world, many terrifying things resided. Like a Metal that can move and talking without using any Qi."
"What ??????"
Fen Yi was shocked. It's hard to believe if a metal can move and talking, but it does not contain even a single of Qi used.
"Yes, the metal is using Electricity energy, it does not contain any Qi or magical Essence. Until now, I still confused how can they operated."
"I never thought that there is that kind of world." Sighed Fen Yi.
"Yeah, it's really a vast world. Too many unpredictable things."
"How about if you tell me about your other adventure ? " Asked Fen Yi
"Adventure ? Did what you meant is an order from my master ?"

The door in Zhen Zhi's house is banged. A loud sound can be heard from the banged door. Someone is banging the chief of the village house, and a loud shout can also be heard
"Chief ! This is an emergency."
After a few moments, a sound of a loud step can be heard then the door open.
"What happened? Did a bandit attack our village? Impossible."
"No chief, it's even worse. A spirit is attacking our village !"
"A Spirit ? " Asked Hellen surprised.
"Yeah, the children who play this night saw a monster. Based on what the children saw, it's a child of the earth spirit ! Also from the children injury, it actually attacked our children."
Actually, the injury is not because they attacked by Zhen Zhi but it because some children fell and hit a rock near them. Since they ran desperately, of course, some incident bound to happen.
"A spirit is actually attacking our children ? But, in this forest there are no any kind of Spirit Den from our information, how can suddenly an Earth Spirit Den emerged ?"
"Chief, we actually don't know the element, but the children said that a monster that covered with mud and earth is screaming near the place they played. "
"So . . . How does it attack ?" Asked Hellen with a doubt.
"We . . . . don't know, we still not asked the children how they got the injury. But, nevermind that. We must hunt this spirit. The other village already prepared their weapon"
[Zhen Zhi still not arrived at the home, if we hunt this spirit now, what if something happened to him ?] Thought Hellen.
"Tell the other to go inside their house and closed their house properly, we will begin our search tomorrow."
"But, Chief !? What if the spirit attacks someone ?"
"That's why all of you must go home and close your house properly. Relax, it just a low Earth Spirit, it even still only a child. It can't kill any of us and maybe the children are actually the one who provoked first."

A different room in the castle of Rising Sky City.
"Young Prince, what must this servant do to you. "
The young prince is a popular term that refers to the Crown Prince of the Blue Sky country. The young prince still only 20 years old, but his talent is immeasurable.
A man is bowing into a young man in a luxury room. The man was the Chief Commander of Blue Sky country. He has black hair and his posture is high. He still only 40 years, but his accomplishment already too high that even it's normal if he become the general, but he refused to become general because of some reason. No one knows the reason beside the King and the Chief Commander
"Our plan is failed. We don't get either the scroll or the document."
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
The man shows a face of surprise. After a few moment thinking, the man asked.
"Young Prince, what if I personally go to that village ?"
"No, it will alert someone in the Divine Sky Kingdom. It has a high possibility of our plan will be leaked if you personally go into that village. With our plan still not leaked into them, we must hastily act. We must think another way to get that 'treausure'." Said the young man
"I have an idea young prince, since that treasure is useless, how about we offer it to the Crazy Old Man that guarding the village. Since that crazy old man is in the Solid Qi Realm, maybe he knew this cube function. How about if we stole back the cube after asking that old man the function ? "
"That useless treasure ? Did You mean that cube ? "
"Yes, that cube ! "
"Asking that crazy person the cube function and stole it back? The first thing already impossible thing and the second thing . . . . Make an enemy with a Cultivator of Solid Qi realm ? That's a crazy idea. And most importantly, what if he doesn't decide to betray the village ? "
"For that, relax, young master. I believe, he will betray the village in 6 months.
"How can you say a stupid thing, he already protects the village for almost 500 years ! How the hell he suddenly betrayed the village"
"Actually, he forced to protect the village for 500 years ! He cursed by the village's ancestor to protect the village, it's actually a secret that only known by the Divine Sky Royal family."
"How did you know that ? " Asked the young man surprised.
"It's from the information that I got from the Divine Sky Royal Family, as for how i get that information young prince, please forget about that. What we need most now is the plan to steal that document. I don't know how their ancestor gets that document but no matter what, we must get it. We can't even create the fake version of it. As for the scroll, it just a bonus. Based on the report, it actually about ancient Alchemy, it may be precious, but our kingdom still not strong enough to use ( protect ) it. And we can just let the cube go, since it useless for us."
The young man irritated because the chief commander doesn't decide to tell how he got the information. But his irritation vanishes after careful thought.
"You said that the Royal Family knew the reason, did they knew about the treasure ?"
"No, what they only knew that the village's ancestor love their people, She curse a genius who dare to attack their village to protect the village for 500 years, if not because she doesn't know the reality of his cultivation realm, he already died because of the curse duration. " explained the chief.
"Okay, but the only problem is how we stole back the cube ? Don't say just let the cube go into that old man pocket, even if it useless, it still our Royal treasure. Also, we will alert the Divine Sky Kingdom if we move our army since the village is located on the border of our country and the Divine Sky Kingdom, but it's still in their territory. And what if that crazy old man stole the document ?"
"You right, we must not start the war early, if the war start too early, our plan will be failed. But, what if we use that 'guild' ? we can relax, he doesn't dare to betray us if we use them." Suggest the chief.

"The pain was really hurt."
Zhen Zhi, after screaming for 10 minutes, finally his suffering is stopped.
"It's already late, I must hurry into father house."
Ignoring the dirt and mud in Zhen Zhi body, he went into his house. Arriving into the village resident, Zhen Zhi realized something wrong.
[Why all the door is closed ?It's still not the time to sleep, right ? And where the children and the villagers ? ] Thought Zhen Zhi.
A man was closing the door in his house when suddenly he saw Zhen Zhi.
Currently, Zhen Zhi body still covered with small mud and dirt and he doesn't bother even to clean his body. He believes he can clean his body after taking a bath in his house.
"Ghost !!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed the man.
"What, a ghost ! ?" Shout other voice in a nearby house.
.
Gradually, all houses that closed because chief order near the man's house is opened.
Zhen Zhi, realizing the danger, began to run into his house.
[I must go home, fast !] Thought Zhen Zhi.

In the village forest, an old man can be seen. He slept on a trunk of the tree. Then suddenly, he opened his eye. With his keen ear, he can hear a commotion in this village, it's a good thing but also a bad thing.
"Eh, what the hell happened in the village ! I just fell sleep few minutes ago. Fuck this curse, 6 months later, I WILL DESTROY YOUR VILLAGE AND TORTURE YOUR PEOPLE ! I have enough with this." Shout the old man rage.
"This 500 years Cycle Curse, finally it almost ended. My wasted talent . . . I, a millennium genius forced to guard this village ? If that woman doesn't know about my real cultivation realm, in this 500 years, I will already died before the cursed ended. Fuck that girl !! "
"No, before I kill the villager, first I kill their children in front of their eye . . . . no, cutting their feet and hand and let them die slowly is better . . . . . Yeah, that's a good idea. I will force the children have sex with each other and then cutting their limbs quickly in their eye!"
"Ahahahahahaha, my revenge chance will arrive. I must be patient, so the villager will not suspicious of me. "
