Seized by the System Chapter 344: Who Should I Send?

Chapter 344: Who Should I Send?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ten minutes after Zhi Nan had left, a certain soone who was trying to sleep was woken by system notifications.

System Notification: [The System struck the Inner Demon Temple Block ten thousand tis. Discovered a secret location — Paradise Realm. The System discovered 3 scriptures: Scripture of Great Wisdom, Scripture of Great Ordeal, Scripture of Overcoming Misfortune. The System opted not to learn them.]

Fang Ning was sprawled on his bed and was lazy to get up, so he turned his head and asked, “What kind of instance dungeon is this Paradise Realm?”

The System said in surprise, “Oh, Billionaire Host, since when did you learn to divine? You guessed it. You’re right, this Paradise Realm is like the instance dungeons you play in your gas.”

Fang Ning was curious and imdiately got up.

“Where is that instance dungeon?”

“I opened the door to the realm in the Draconic Penitentiary.”

Fang Ning entered the Draconic Penitentiary and instantly saw a golden arch in the middle of the square.

The golden arch emanated an allure that was almost irresistible. It was as if as soon as one steps in, they would gain everything and lose all of their misery.

Fang Ning perused it for a little and words slowly appeared on the arch.

On both sides of it, the words were, “The suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death will soon depart; The misery of love, hate, disgust, and fear will soon expire.”

On the top of the arch, it said, “Paradise for all.”

‘What a pompous tone,’ Fang Ning stilled his mind and did not dare to step in.

He asked the System, “What exactly is in it?”

“You’re acting dumb again… I said it’s like the instance dungeon in your gas, didn’t I?” The System said resentfully.

Fang Ning’s face went from being startled, to realization, to being stunned.

“F*ck , this Demon Lord Zhi Nan is like the end-ga boss. He’s so different from all the minor bosses who only knew how to charge blindly without thinking it through. The difficulty level is, like, several levels higher. He’s got his ideals, goals, resources, as well as a determination to be a quadruple-threat among demons in this new era.”

Fang Ning had already guessed a general information from what he could see and was impressed.

He was ruthless and imposing, he would inspire fear to anyone who saw him.

He definitely deserved his appellation of ‘Zhi Nan’s might surpasses the heavens and Dharma’.

‘No wonder this dude would go into deviatory psychosis. If I guessed correctly, he would probably make sothing huge.

‘I just don’t know how it is in there,’ Fang Ning ruminated for a bit and decided to send a person in to test the water. ‘Wait, no, send a spirit to test the water.

‘I could tell just by seeing it that it only allows spirits in. Otherwise, Sir System wouldn’t have opened it in the System Space.

‘Who should I send?’

Fang Ning pondered.

On a cultivation field in the Truth Departnt’s headquarters.

Qiao Zijiang arranged the twelve zodiac-demons into a circle and communicated with them one by one from the center so she could examine their progress in cultivation.

“Old Bai, how was your cultivation progress?”

A white, fluffy cloud shook a little and said in a low, muffled voice, “I’m already a Basin-level.”

“Mm, that’s good. Old Bai, you’re the hardworking one.” Qiao Zijiang nodded and turned around, “Long Fan, what about you?”

Long Fan sneezed. He was wondering if soone was thinking of him when Qiao Zijiang turned to him. He said, “Thanks to the two Venerable Ones, I’m almost at Pond-level.”

“Not bad, Long Fan is also hardworking,” Qiao Zijiang was pleased. If any one of her summons could breakthrough to Pond-level, her strength would also increase.

Long Fan was slightly smug after he was praised.

He shot a glance to his green neighbor who looked enervated, dragon-like, but mostly snaky.

He said in a feign unconcerned voice, “Even though I only had the power of a snake demon, I’ve had good opportunities, and I’m hardworking. So dude, however, kept saying he was a dragon but couldn’t even attain a Bucket-level. I’m guessing it wasn’t even at my level yet.”

The green snake-like creature did not even lift its head. It scoffed as if it was lazy to defend itself.

Long Fan was annoyed and continued, “I’ve spoken to the Venerable White Dragon. He said that a certain Dragon Carp appeared in his house. I heard it was soone from the Dragon Clan’s leader’s residence. I think it would be very familiar with dragons, should I ask them to identify you?”

The green snake heard it and squird a little, but it managed to keep its mouth shut.

…

In a park south of the city, a man in his final years sat with his eyes closed on the ledge of a secluded flower bed as he leaned against the bush.

Ti passed as a cleaning lady walked past the old man several tis.

Finally, she approached him and tried to wake him up.

“Sir, sir. Wake up. Go ho and sleep, you’ll catch a cold out here.” The lady called for him but felt weird.

The old man’s face was smiling, but it was still and unmoving.

‘Not moving?’

The cleaning lady thought of sothing and took two steps back in shock.

It was then that she realized sothing really strange. The old man’s chest did not rise and fall like that of a breathing person…

She imdiately dialed the number to the local Special Affairs Departnt.

Two agents arrived hastily. Upon inspection, they knew the old man had passed away for a long ti, but there were no visible injuries.

One of them took a few photos and attempted to check the old man’s body.

However, as soon as he touched the old man’s collar, a flash of golden light flickered before the old man turned into nothingness…

“Ergency report, a mysterious death appeared in Su City. Cause of death, unknown. The deceased was reported to have displayed an odd smile…”

…

The local library was bustling with people who pored over books of all sorts on this weekend. Books in the geography section were especially popular as people leafed through them with interest.

A middle-aged man with black robe strolled in and attracted so attention to himself. Soon, however, the attention was dispersed.

The man smiled slightly and chose a seat at random.

He did not even move his head around, but books flew out of their shelves and fell in front of him. Within minutes, he would have finished reading the books and the book returned to its place on the shelf.

People stared at this display of power, but they were not surprised or stunned, they were only staring with jealousy.

“He’s another one of those Cultivators.” So adolescent schoolkids were no longer paying attention to their books, instead gawking at him with their eyes peeled.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn to do that? We would beco study machines just like that. I don’t even need to be able to finish a book within minutes, I’ll be satisfied if I can finish one book in a few days.”

“It’s easy to say. You can either sign your life away to governnt service, or you can spend a bomb to enter a private school. I think tuition fees are about three hundred grand per year, and they have really high expectations.”

“That’s right. My dad can’t afford it, but he doesn’t want to serve the governnt in that way. I wanna go though. Now that the Dragon God is here, I hear we could retire after just a few years, and we can even enter into prestigious universities. It’s a sha that the situation is not ideal. My dad told he would only allow to enter the system after next year.” Soone whined.

“I’ll let you in on a secret.” A bespectacled boy boasted, “My uncle who is the secretary of the mayor said that they would announce a new cultivation thod focusing on the body soon, and it’s compatible with the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit.”

“Aren’t minors banned from learning the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit?” Soone said in surprise.

“Yes, but this new cultivation thod can be learned since young to build a good foundation. If you can pass the unified exam after that, you would be able to learn Basic Cultivation of the Spirit without being an adult.

“Once we mastered that, we would be able to play Battle of the Beasts. The legendary Lei Tian is my role model in the ga. I hear his annual salary playing the ga is two hundred million!” The bespectacled boy exclaid.

His boasting of the secret information had garnered him the attention of a group of people which included more than a few girls and young ladies. That attention had him pumped.

His fellow student agreed. “Wang Jing is right. I tried learning the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit discreetly before. My head felt like it was splitting, and I couldn’t continue no matter how hard I tried. When my mum found out, she gave a good beating. I think if I can learn this new cultivation thod, I would be able to finish learning the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit, and then I’ll qualify to play that ga.”

“I tried learning it as well, sa thing, but my mum didn’t beat up, she beat my dad up… for so reason,” echoed another student.

“Why else could that be? She’s complaining that your dad doesn’t earn enough,” said a girl sharply.

In that instant, chatter about the thods of cultivation livened up the quiet library.

It was easy to see why. After watching all the face-slapping on the internet, the only thing the kids could gain access to was the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit.

Just like the Arican children who played with their father’s guns in secret, these children tried to learn to cultivate surreptitiously.

If the Truth Departnt had the confidence to popularize the new cultivation thod, they would have done plenty of testing for safety. The Basic Cultivation of the Spirit was weakened and had undergone andnts to minimize the possibility of injury. Otherwise, trying to learn it by force would result not only in headaches and the feeling of head splitting.

The middle-aged man heard the commotion and set down the book “The Principles of Compiling”. He cast his gaze upon the children.

He smiled. ‘All lives have their worries. Only the Paradise Realm could end all suffering.

‘In this world, I have a chance to achieve Nirvana…’

After a mont of deliberation, a piece of paper appeared in his palm, which he tucked away in a book he had just finished.

Soon after, all the books returned to their respective shelves one by one as he sauntered out of the public library.

Behind him, people stared enviously.

Zhi Nan disappeared from the southern city of China. Monts later, he appeared in the Cloud Fog City to the north.

On a hill behind the school, a group of students pooled together as they chanted quietly, looking down at sothing.

Zhi Nan appeared behind the crowd.

“A minor demon who only knew how to manipulate fear is not worth worshipping like this.” He said softly.

A cell phone flew away from everyone and fell into his palm.

“Give it back, how could you steal my phone from ?” A fine-looking girl yelled as she lifted her head.

“Heh, you, favored by the Heavenly Axiom, shouldn’t learn a low-ranking thod like this. I have three scriptures of the highest rank. Interested?” Zhi Nan smiled.

Not know who the newcor was, everyone just stared at each other silently.

“Who are you?” Saki Yamanashi asked tentatively.

“I am Zhi Nan, one of the ten Demon Lords in the Upper Realm. Even the demon you were worshiping just now have to bow to .”

As he finished, they saw the phone confiscated by the man hovered in front of them.

On the phone screen, the photo of the green snake head to which they were just praying had transford. The fog around it cleared up, and it was bowing.

Seeing the strange event had left them stunned.

Saki Yamanashi was in a state of surprised, overjoyed, and confusion. She asked, “I’m only a normal student, can I really learn the scriptures? Will I be able to fly together with the Azure Dragon himself after I learned it?”

“Don’t look down on yourself. A seed could grow into the World Tree, a single blade of grass could spread through mountains and rivers. You’ve been chosen by the Heavenly Axiom, so you might even surpass the Azure Dragon in the future.” Zhi Nan guaranteed.
