邪神之道 B1

七河宗

The world of cultivation is vast and is always a road filled with endless bloodbaths. Throughout time immemorial countless experts have tread this blood stained road and left behind their legends and legacies.

Something that is shared by those that stand at the far top of the summit is that regardless of who or what the person's background may be they will always have to start at the far bottom.

Of course not every single person is born with the same amount of resources and talent. For those born with insufficient resources the first thought would be to join a sect and prove one's worth to acquire the limited amount of resources.

Qī Hé Zōng (七河宗 Translation: Seven Rivers Sect) is one of the four sects of Míng Rì Guó (明日国 translation: Country of the Bright Sun).

Out of the four sects that make up the defense of this land against the demonic sects the Seven Rivers Sect is the most opened minded about recruitment but they also have the harshest promotion requirements as a trade-off.

There is no discrimination against one's talent and practically any mortal may join and be promoted as their cultivation base increases. It didn't matter if one's background is prominent or not.

As every single person who joins must always start out from the far bottom this is considered a very fair system in the eyes of many who aspire to cultivate towards immortality.

Currently standing at the foot of the Seven Rivers Sect's first mountain is a boy by the name of Yè Guǐ Fèng (夜鬼凤).

He is dressed in a set of plain robes and standing before Ye Gui Feng is an outer sect disciple who wears a Daoist robe with a flying sword behind his back.

The raven haired boy had just finished with making a breakthrough yesterday in his cultivation and is now seeking for a promotion.

"Ahem..."

The outer sect disciple makes an awkward expression as he forces himself to smile while averting his eyes to the side before speaking.

"Congratulations on reaching the 0.5th level of Qi Condensation."

"................................................................................................................................................Eh?"

Ye Gui Feng can't help but stare at the senior disciple in front of him with a blank look.

"0.5th level of Qi Condensation?"

"Honestly I never knew such a level of cultivation even existed... I don't know if I should say you're lucky or unlucky for being the first to acquire such a cultivation base."

The senior disciple seems to be amazed by such a discovery. Perhaps in the entirety of the cultivation world Ye Gui Feng is the only individual to have ever reached such a level.

In a way this can be considered a talent in being so untalented.

(What the hell does that mean!? No ***** I'm unlucky! You piece of *****! 0.5th!? What the hell is this!? Even the weakest person in a xianxia novel would never have such a pathetic level of cultivation no matter how talentless they are!)

The senior disciple seemingly gives the boy a pitying look while patting his shoulder.

"Look I know this might be harsh but until you reach the appropriate levels you'll have to continue working in the kitchen of the sect. Here's is your identity medallion back."

Ye Gui Feng continues to look blankly at the senior disciple who coughs while making his leave by using a flying sword that takes him towards the peak of the distant mountain.

"*Sigh*"

Ye Gui Feng sighs miserably as he walks to the kitchen area of the sect with a hunched back. It took him a total of five years to make a break through into the 0.5th level of Qi Condensation.

"This may as well be just slightly above a mortal..."

Inwardly Ye Gui Feng curses about this mistreated of the gods. As someone born in the 21st century of modern times but died to be reincarnated into this world shouldn't he be blessed with cheat like talent that makes him the envy of others like in the webnovels that he had often read?

When he had first discovered the existence of immortals in this world Ye Gui Feng had hyped himself up while shouting "this is the reason behind why I was born in these times!"

Thinking back to how bright his eyes were at the time Ye Gui Feng can't help but laugh in ridicule at his naïve mindset from a few years back.

"Oh you're back."

"How'd it go?"

"Idiot he's back here with that look so no shit it went bad."

Eyes gaze upon the sight of Ye Gui Feng's miserable return. Many of them were already at the first level of Qi Condensation. In order to move out of this work place they would have to have reached at least the third level.

"Alright enough moping around. Get back to work."

"Uuu one of these days I'll definitely become one of the strongest cultivators in the world!"

"That's the spirit. You'll get there eventually."

Taking in the encouraging words of his seniors the boy musters up his fighting spirit and begins his daily job in the kitchen to prepare meals for the outer sect disciples.

.....................................................................................................................

The hours of work soon draws to a close as the kitchen staff begin their daily cleaning before preparing to close up shop.

Out of the entirety of the sect the kitchen has the strongest bonds in teamwork mainly due to how there are so many chances to interact with their fellow peers.

"Alright put out the fire."

"Shall I go prepare the hot waters for a bath?"

"Yeah do that."

"Xiǎo Fèng (小凤) go get some water from the river with a few others."

"Got it."

There was no proper bathing area within this sect for those working outside. Mostly everyone can only choose to create a makeshift bathtub out of wood. For the kitchen staff the bathing area is quite spacious as everyone had poured their strength into making one.

"Ah this is nice~..."

"If such days can continue I'd be quite satisfied."

"Ahaha definitely."

"But it's too bad tomorrow I'm going for my promotion."

(Cāo nǐ mā a, cāngtiān wú yǎn! (操你妈啊苍天无眼！Translation: Fuck your mother, the heavens have no justice!)

As the others congratulate the person who's getting promoted Ye Gui Feng begrudgingly curses at them inwardly.

"Xiao Feng you must catch up quickly."

"Of course, of course..."

Although this is meant as a joke it never the less hurts his pride as Ye Gui Feng swears to get back at them.

Author: Alright re-uploading this since the account delete from the Google sign-in BS and Wattpad not replying to the ticket.  

This will probably take a while since I intend to look over the previous few chapters as well and give them a bit of tweaking for more fluidity. I'll try and get out the chapters as soon as possible but with other work to get done expect it to take a while. 

For those that didn't know volume 11 of the story has already been released on Amazon (link is in the comments). 12 won't come out until this story is fully re-uploaded.
