20 Encounter With Zhang Shi! (2in1)
You mean, where Zhang Xuan, legendary God of Destruction lives?
"Yes! This is Master Teacher Continent. Wait you actually know this world?"
Of course, I do. I love this novel. I always wanted to jump in and take my own Library of Heaven's Path. I would use it more efficiently though. Sometimes when Zhang Shi in stalemate he can just open a notebook and ask the Library of Heaven's Path, but he just...
"Hold it fangirl. Don't forget, this may not be the exact same world. As far as I know, Zhang Xuan might be an evil bastard." Crow said.
How dare you! Wait, this would be the end of the world. As far as I see the world is fine. I don't think Zhang shi is evil.
"Just be careful. You may be strong in Naruto World but in this world, your strength is Transcendent level. Not peak of it either."
"Starting to adapt to the new world. Meridians and Dantian are opening. Zhengi infusing the body. Countdown 24 hours."
I stay still for a few minutes and opened my wings. Started to fly in a random direction. As I was falling down, I noticed, I was falling into an endless desert. So which way I should go, I had no idea.
After I flew 5 hours I finally saw a big city. It was like a country. I never understand why Chinese Novels has such a big city's. But here we are. What I remember from the description, this city must be Hongyuan City. There was a massive space covered by Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. Which timeline I'm on right now? Is Zhang Shi here?
As I was enjoying the view some people were staring at me. I flew over and notice that they are Zhang Shi's students Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, and Liu Yang. Zheng Yang took his spear from out of nowhere. Other two took their fighting stance as well. I was wondering what the heck is going on, Wang Ying shouted. "Stop there Otherworldly Demon. Or don't blame us for getting nasty?"
What the actual f*ck? Otherworldly Demon? "I'm human. I'm here to meet Zhang Shi." I asked. I was hoping they could bring me to him.
"We will not take you to our teacher." said Wang Ying.
"I really am human. I heard about Zhang-Shi's deeds and want to ask him pointers." said.
"You and millions of others." said Liu Yang. Well, that is accurate.
"Please, I'm in a desperate situation. I need his help." I asked. I don't have too much time. I have to jump One Piece world. Time flow is here two times faster than Naruto world, I can't spend my time here. "I have a very precious gift to him." I used my ace in the hole.
Their eyes shined and ponder for a bit. They decided to take me to Zhang Shi. One of the Spirit Beast Zhang Shi tamed, Great Violetwing Beast came over and we all hopped up. I was told it would take 1 day to go where Zhang Shi was. So after 24 hours countdown completed. I started to gather Zhengi. It was a new feeling. I adapted to absorb and circulate Zhengi but I didn't know which acupoints I should go through, so I didn't dare to cultivate.
"So, I can't see your cultivation level at all Mr. Hitomi." asked Wang Ying. I always liked this lass.
"I never cultivated. I was a cripple until a month ago. I was cured with one of the answers Zhang Shi wrote in the Physician Guild." I just lied, because there was a princess, cured with the same way. I thought it would work.
"So that is how it is. Its same with Zhao Feiwu." said Liu Yang. Turns out I was right.
"I would like to thank and ask for pointers to Zhang Shi." I said with an inner sneer.
I'm not sure if, Zhang Shi will share his cultivation techniques with me but if push comes to shove I will just use reincarnation card. Maybe then he would help me.
After I sleep, back of the spirit beast, I woked up by Wang Ying. We had arrived at the ancient city in ruins. The city was covering the area so large even from above, I couldn't see other edges of it. There was no human sign around either. I was worried about how they will find Zhang Shi in this huge city, Zheng Yang saw through my thoughts and answered "Tamed Beast and their master have a telepathic connection. Great Violetwing Beast beast will take us Zhang Teacher in no time."
How did I forget that? There is a telepathic connection with the tamed beast. It would be super cool if I could tame a spirit beast and take it with me.
"I told you earlier. Doesn't matter what, you can't take living things with you to other worlds. Except for plants." said Crow. Crushing my dreams once again.
A few minutes later we arrived in front of the gigantic palace. Zhang Shi was standing there with all his grandeur. He looked at me with narrowed eyes. I got off the Great Violetwing Beast and clasped my and said "Paying respect to Zhang Shi."
Wang Ying and others come closer and told my story. Zhang Shi's eyes flashed with red light and were looking at me deeply. Damn, he is using Eye of Discernment. How did I forget that? He suddenly appeared front of me, throwing a punch. I actually could hear air shattering. I flashed back of the Great Violetwing Beast, I marked when we were on our way here.
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes for a few seconds then looked at me deeply. He must have used Library of Heaven's Path. Now knows a lot about me.
"Zhang Shi, sorry for lying your students. I really don't mean harm. I brought a gift to show you goodwill." I passed him Rainbow Flower, I brought from Naruto World. I was planning to use it to nurture my soul and medical chakra with it but I had no choice now.
"I'm here because of an accident. I was traveling somewhere else, now I have to spend a little bit of time in here. I heard your deeds and would like to be your student." I kowtow 3 times. He pondered a little bit. Touched Rainbow Flower and murmured something. Checking Rainbow Flower's flaws, probably.
"I accept your gift. I will impart you cultivation technique and sword art I created," said Zhang Shi.
I heave a sigh of relief and bowed again "Thank you Zhang Teacher. I have some means even though I didn't cultivate. I would like to pay my teacher with my help." I said.
"Good, follow us in," said Zhang Shi majestically hands behind his back after giving me a thick notebook with Cultivation manual and one for sword art.
We went into the palace, Zhang Shi at the front, Wang Ying at back in one row. The entrance was wide enough to accommodate 2 people, but still, they walked in a single line so they must have their reasons. After the hall, there was vide room. It was dark inside but Zhang Shi could walk freely. I used Fire Style in my hand to illuminate the interior. All looked at me with a weird expression. I took to lead and walked where Zhang Shi told me to walk. Room was mostly empty, there was 4 tomb half opened in four corners of the room. In the middle of the room, there was a single throne, looked plain as chair.
Zhang Shi pondered on it for a time before told me to take my time and start to cultivate. It would take some time for Zhang Shi to find a way to open the way. I sit cross-legged and started to meditate. After I made sure I'm at my optimal state I started to read Cultivation Manual I was given. It was simplified Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual. Even the Zhang Shi's students cultivate this Manual so, I was happy. It was complicated for me to cultivate since I never did it. But on the way, I already started to feel Zhengi around the world so, I did only take 2 days and night me to reach Transcender Mortal 1-dan. When it started to bit slow my cultivation, I went to ask Zhang Shi what is wrong.
"You reached Prolonged Longevity 1-dan in 2 days?" asked with disbelief.
"I have an otherworldly constitution, enables me to cultivate faster." I said with zhengi telepathy.
"So you know I noticed it." he asked with telepathy.
"Of course. I wouldn't come to you if I didn't know you would." I said. With Library of Heaven's Path, it was nothing for Zhang Shi to notice I'm from another world.
He nodded and set up Zhengi Gathering Formation before throwing some Spirit Stone in it. I went inside and continue to cultivate. As the days fly, it already been 3 months. I was at the Saint Stage. Zhang Shi and his students surprised by my cultivation pace. I would occasionally fight with his students to solidify my cultivation. I also learned Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body from Zhang Shi, which cultivates my body. With the Sword Art, he imparted to me I was par with his students. We discovered what we came for. Palace was torn down by Zhang Shi, which is normal for Lord Of Destruction.
I thanked Zhang Shi and was embarrassed to not help him with anything, but he was magnanimous and said it was okay. The World Engine was ready and I was about to leave Quest Notification alerted me.
Otherworldly Demons: Beat Otherworldly Demons hiding in Hongyuan Empire to prevent Zhang Shi and Academy to fight with them in the future when they get stronger.
Reward: Feeling good about your debts to Zhang Xuan.
I swear this system mocks me. This is the reward for such a quest? I can die in this fight but all you reward is feeling good for my debts. Fine I will do it. But how should I find the Otherworldly Demons?
"System will point their location. It's on your right, 5.000.000 kilometers." said Crow Brother.
I hate this world. It's already too far. Can I summon my Crows here?
"Of course not. Do you feel your seals you left in Naruto World?" asked Crow.
Now you mention it, I don't feel them. It means I cant return to the Naruto World with the Flying Thunder God Technique?
"These are two separate dimensions. Without Adapt System even I couldn't feel other worlds. Adapt System helps me to adapt World Engine thus jumping between them." said Crow.
But Deaf God asked me to take all the worlds without even giving me the Adapt System. Hell, he expects me to refuse it. I was already flying to my destination.
"Deaf God is stupid. He expects you to understand the dimensional travel by yourself. If you send over this world with your earthly knowledge about space and time in 1000 or so years you might learn how to tear space and travel the closest world. But in Naruto World where lifespan is 100 years or so it would be impossible. Not a chance." said Crow.
So that is how it is. How do you choose the world? For example, why did you choose One Piece Wolrd for next world?
"It has pirates. Why else?" said Crow.
This guy has a bit too much free will for a system. Want to send me to the world just because has pirates in them.
"Don't worry, you will have fun in that world. And has some cool powers, enable you to change to animal or control element or become an element or matter like rubber, steel.." said Crow with excitement.
I already can do almost all of them. I could change my appearance with Transformation Technique. Even I could take animal appearance. I could use 5 elements. They were all natural element in Naruto World except Yin And Yang elements. They were complicated so I wasn't able to learn them when I was there. Becoming an element or matter wasn't that important in my point of view. So, I wasn't excited about it.
When I reached the location I was heading it was already a week later. I was far away from Hongyuan Empire. I could see nothing. There was nothing in here.
"They are hiding in the underground shelter. There is formation hiding them." said Crow.
How to hell I should find them in the formation. You know how a formation can be. If there is a slaughter formation even I can die.
"Just go in Nature Chakra State and feel the world, you will see everything." said Crow.
Right, how did I forget that? After a few minutes I was already in Chakra state and I could see a trap door open to the underground. I went near, pass through the formation. I was one with nature so formation didn't stop me. I opened the trap door and leave my seal, just in case. As I was walking I could feel strong killing intent. But I have already adapted such a feeling and I had no problem with it. The tunnel I was walking was 3 meters high and 1 meter wide. There was nowhere to hide. I was crouching slowly to not alert anybody. When I reached the end of the tunnel I was about to have a heart attack.
There were at least 100 Otherworldly Demons sleeping on beds pack together like sardines. I could feel life in them. There were 2 guards walking in the wide chamber.
Are they hibernating?
"Yes. Take two guards without noise, rest should be easier." said Crow.
How can they be that careless? I'm sure there are much more traps in here. I wasn't optimistic as Crow.
"Do you know the level of the formation you just pass through. It was 9-star slaughter and 9 level illusion formation. No one except you can pass through it that easily." said Crow scolding me.
Are you serious? Two 9-Star formations? In Hongyuan Empire? Well, that is some security.
I created a clone to transform him into a cat. Cat walked inside a little bit and run to me to lure 2 guards. I already set up muffle seal around. When guards came to my clone turn back his self-shape and we both started to fight with the guards. They were Half-Saint so with my mean it was easy to fight. I slowly approached beds and created 2 more clones to set up muffle seal for each bed, before killed them in sleep.
1 hour later I was at the end of the room. There was a golden door. I was wondering why the quest notification didn't alert me about finishing the quest the door slammed open. There was giant with blue skin, terrible killing intent looking me and beds before flashed with finger aim my heart. I flashed back entrance with all my awareness and sweat all over my body. What the hell that was.
"Name: Unknown(His name)
Age: 4000 years
Level: Saint 3-dan
...."
This was some enemy. How should I beat him with my Saint power?
"You have also other means." said Crow.
Do you really think my lousy Jutsu's will affect him?
"You can't know, without trying."
I could feel terrible killing intent coming to me. I created a clone and hide behind a boulder. Unknown came through the trap door and looked at my clone. Through my clone I send Fire Style: Big Fire Ball, it was stronger than I expected. Is it because of Zhengi? I don't think so. Unknown shocked the sight. It was the first time he saw somebody can fire flames through his mouth. I didn't stop there, I send Water Style Water Fall. Mixed with Fireball all the water vaporized and hide my clone. I used Water Style Autumn Rain to bring down the storm. When there was enough water I used Lighting Style Thor's Hammer.
This was my creation. I would turn my arm to hammer with lighting and slammed it to the enemy. It was very effective. When it hit soaked Otherworldly demon he was paralyzed but my clone got hurt as well. I took to opportunity and throw a kunai to Otherworldly Demon, when it bounced from him I flashed and used my latest jutsu Rasengan. Before I left the Fourth Hokage gave me two scrolls. One of them was Rasengan. My Rasengan made a little hole on Otherworldly Demon's body. It was way more powerful than it was in Naruto World but still couldn't finish Otherworldy Demon.
I kicked by the abdomen and flew a few kilometers away. Fortunately, I'm in Saint Realm now and my body is also tough. I used my Zhengi circulation then medical jutsu to heal myself. The Otherworldly Demon also trying to heal himself. He was badly injured because of the surprise of 'Jutsu'. This was the first time for him to see anything like that, so his guards were down. Now he is more careful. He stood away from my kunai. He already saw through my Flying Thunder God Technique.
I stood up and gathered my Chakra. This was for another Jutsu I created. "Doomsday." It would deplete too much chakra but, unlike others, Genjutsu itself would effect target with their most fearsome nightmare. When I applied Genjutsu, Otherworldly Demon started to shake all over his body. Took a few steps back. I could see what he was seeing. The white-haired man with the long white beard was looking down on him. He had a terrifying aura.
Isn't this Kong Shi. So this as*hole actually fought against Kong Shi's army and survived.
Otherworldly Demon staggered and fall to the ground. Eyes wide open and with disbelief said with a hoarse voice "You can't be alive. You can't live all these years."
He was getting his wits back, so, I had to act quickly. I took out my Very Good Chakra Sword. I applied Sword-Man Union. Being one with Sword. This was Heaven's Path Sword Art Zhang Shi imparted to me. I applied my Wind Chakra to Sword and run to the Otherworldly Demon. I hit with all my might to chop his head off. Still, it took 10 hit to cut his head off.
Then Quest Notification came.
Quest accomplished.
Reward: Feeling good about your debts to Zhang Xuan
This is it? I always thought there would be a hidden reward. This Quest was to test my personality and I passed. Is this system really stingy? I would already adapt to the situation and wouldn't feel like I owe him, in no time. Well, its already done anyway. Maybe I should go and check that chamber with gold door. I can fork out something there.
The chamber was 50 meter square with a giant king size bed. There was 10-meter square bed on the one side of the room. Other than that, there were some books, and 1 pendant hanging on the human-sized skeleton.
Observe
"Name: Pendant of Imagination
Level: Devine Item
Effect: Supplying with Zhengi, the user can imagine anything, be it alive or not (Except Humans, Otherworldly Demons or other races..., record it to the Pendant. With sufficient Zhengi, once every day, this item can summon that item for 2 hours. The user can send it back to Pendant to shorten cooldown time.
Cooldown: 2 hours."
This is a Divine item. I can't believe it. But how did somebody with divine item died in here?
"Maybe recorded really useless item to the Pendant." said Crow.
I don't believe anybody is that stupid. This pendant is awesome. I have to wait 2 hours.
After two hours, I put my zhengi in the Pendant. Pendant lit with white holy light, then a little white kitty comes out of nowhere. Kitty climbed over me and started to lick my face. I was dumbfounded. My brain actually went blank for a few seconds.
What the heck is this? You had the divine item to summon anything, I mean ANYTHING, and you choose to summon a kitty cat. Isn't this wasting this divine item?
"He probably doesn't even know it was a divine item. Even shouldn't know its properties." said Crow.
Oh right. How did I not think of that? He was actually yearning a kitty cat when pendant started to work by itself. He must have thought this was the actual magic of pendant. Except for Zhang Shi with Library of Heaven's Path, no one in this world should know, what does this pendant do.
Such a waste.
"Actually, you can reset it, in the Shop." said Crow. "But keep it cool okay. I didn't mean you harm."
What do you mean, harm? Crow, you mean, Shop is actually very good.
"Well yes. But it is too expensive and I didn't want you to sell all your stuff to the Shop God. You see, Shop runs by a Shop God and I hate that fellow. He sells good stuff but.."
Shut up. Bring the shop.
"Shop. Welcome to Shop. For the first time coming you are awarded ticket." spoke a robotic voice. This must be Shop God.

How much it would worth if I sell my Very Good Sword?
"500 SC. Legendary Blade you lost would worth 1500 SC." said Crow
So little. What about Pendant?
"20.000 SC. But because has kitty cat recorded inside. If it was blank it would worth 1.000.000 SC. And for repair you need 5.000 SC." said Crow.
So expensive. God. I think I have to wait longer than I thought.
As I was waiting outside, suddenly white flashed landed on my shoulder. It was so fast, I could hardly see it.
Observe.
Name: Kitty Cat
Level: Half-Saint power. Saint 3-dan Speed
...
What is going on? Is this fellow so strong?
"It ate Otherworldly Demons' body. It can grow up."
Really. This stuff isn't so bad after all. Can I take it to other worlds?
"As long as it waits in the pendant, you can."
Oh, I should give you a name. So are you a boy or a girl? I hold the kitty cat and was checking it, I suddenly heard sweet boy voice.
"I'm a man!" it was so funny to hear such words from boy's voice. It was so cute.
"So you can speak. That fellow must imagine you from this worlds beast. When you become Saint Beast, you get the ability to speak." I pondered. "What should I call you? You are a boy, ahem man. I'll call you Jon. I had a friend called Jon. He was the biggest cat fan."
