Similar gossips and speculations were flying around. Everyone knew that Zhou Bao had acquired a Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. However, they could not figure out how his sword could be so powerful.
At long last, they attributed all these to his good fortune. Perhaps he was just lucky enough to find two kinds of powerful Evil Qi to refine his sword and thus the sword had such powerful qualities.
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was one of the most powerful special techniques in the world that was well known to everyone. There were two reasons for this: one was that the two kinds of Yin and Yang-property Evil Qi he chose were of the best quality; the second reason was that after the infusion of these two kinds of Evil Qi, a streak of congenital killing intent was produced. Once these elements were combined, an amazing effect would take place, just like what Zhou Bao had shown while he was slaying those Demonic Immortals.
“This guy must have found two kinds of powerful Evil Qi by pure luck, and fortunately he understood the workings of the congenital killing intent. Only in this way can his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword be so powerful and amazing. He’s really fortunate. How is it that he has not been killed by the Evil Qi and congenital killing intent?”
Most of the people came to this conclusion and all of them envied Zhou Bao.
“You have really worked hard this time. Although you did not manage to achieve our original purpose, it’s excusable. It’s really good to have you back alive!”
In the yard which was booked by Immortal Palace, White Tiger looked at Zhou Bao and Moon Deer of Extended Net and comforted them, saying, “What’s more, failing to cross the sea is a good thing for us, at least we don’t need to face Ye Qingtian and his North Pole Frozen Wheel. Humph, who can ensure that you will come out alive after the collision of two fairy weapons?” “I guess you guys have heard that Yu Nantian broke in Rolling Dragon Palace solely with his fairy weapon. He robbed Rolling Dragon King of most of his treasures and killed half of his relatives. Hum, how could a Level Nine lad be so powerful? Could it be due to his fairy weapon?”
“You all are aware of this matter, right?”
“Of course. This matter has already elicited much discussion among all the people. He is disorganized and is always very ineffective in handling his affairs. This time was no exception. After he robbed Rolling Dragon King of his treasures, he was captured by other people. Although he finally managed to escape, his whereabouts was made known to all!”
Although White Tiger did not tell him the full details, Zhou Bao had already figured out the so-called truth which the others believed in from his words. He was delighted that his scheme had worked. The one who had pursued Yu Nantian would be the best witness. As a Demonic Immortal at the Venerable Realm, he clearly witnessed that Yu Nantian had escaped via the Void Traveller. The truth was that it was Zhou Bao who had helped Yu Nantian to escape by taking the Void Traveller, and no one had discovered that it was him. Therefore, Yu Nantian had been made the scapegoat for Zhou Bao’s actions.
“How could Yu Nantian be so bold by doing such a crazy thing? Isn’t he afraid of Rolling Dragon King’s revenge?”
“Of course he is not afraid, because Rolling Dragon King is a Demonic Immortal in the sea and cannot enter the Seven-deity Regions!”
“What? Demonic Immortals in the sea are not allowed to come ash.o.r.e?” Zhou Bao was stunned. He forcibly concealed his disappointment and asked, “Why?”
“After returning from the Sea Area, I guess you already know how powerful those Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area are. Not only the Demonic Immortals in the entire Sea Area, but even those in the Five-dragon Regions are also extremely powerful. If they want to wage a war against the Seven-deity Regions, do you think we can withstand their attacks?”
“Of course we can’t!” Zhou Bao thought carefully and shook his head, saying, “They’re much too powerful!”
“Yeah, the power of the Sea Area far surpa.s.ses that of the Seven-deity Regions. Although there are huge sects in the Seven-deity Regions and they have some mighty Elders and Highest Elders, they are still no match for the Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area. Then, can you guess why the Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area don’t attack the Seven-deity Regions?”
“The Sea Area is rich in natural resources and has much more spiritual qi and pneuma than on land. Furthermore, the Sea Area is too wast and they will definitely look down at small places like the Seven-deity Regions. Most important of all, they are so used to living in the sea, that it will be hard for them to live on the land.”
“What you said sounds reasonable, but it’s just an opinionated view.” White Tiger shook his head and added, “Yes, the Sea Area is wide with abundant resources and pneuma, and the Demonic Immortals there are indeed used to living in the sea, but it’s also a good choice to build a villa on the land. Although there are fewer resources on the land, there are some rare treasures that cannot be produced by the Sea Area. Although they cannot live on land for too long, they can always occupy a place and use it as a base for cultivating Magic Herbs. Think about it, if you can have a herbal garden in the sea, will you give up this opportunity?”
“Of course not!” Zhou Bao replied.
“Men are insatiable, so too are evil beasts, especially those Demonic Immortals. They’ve lived for so long and most of them have advanced their strength by killing others. Let’s say each one of them needs an acre of land in the Seven-deity Regions, they can also divide up the whole land. In this case, why would there be so many living creatures and human beings?”
“Are there any other reasons?”
“Yes. The reason why the Seven-deity Regions are called the Divine Regions is that there is a prohibition laid down by the Innate Deities. Because of this reason, powerful Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area are not allowed to go ash.o.r.e. If a Demonic Immortal’s cultivation breaks through the Mysterious Realm and enters the Realm of True Immortality, besides going ash.o.r.e, if he were to erroneously enter the Sea Area, which is 5,000 kilometers away from the Seven-deity Regions, he will be bombarded by the Heavenly Thunder. The closer he is to land, the more ferocious the Heavenly Thunder will be. Even if he manages to rush ash.o.r.e, he will be bombarded to death by the successive thunder attacks. Moreover, if there should be more than 100 demons from the sea who do not have the cultivation of True Immortality, yet appear in the Seven-deity Regions at any time, the Heavenly Thunder will attack them randomly until their numbers are greatly reduced. Therefore, over these years, demons in the Sea Area dare not go ash.o.r.e. Even if they were lucky enough to land on the Seven-deity Regions, they would be blasted to death by the Heavenly Thunder!”
“Oh no, is there really such a thing?” This was the first time Zhou Bao had heard of this, so he looked at White Tiger in amazement, saying, “Why did Innate Deities do this?”
“No one knows. This prohibition has existed since long ago. Everyone is accustomed to it already after so many years. No one knows the reason, even the so-called orthodox Ancient Celestial Court–Divine Wind Palace, has no record of it in their ancient books. Therefore, no one knows the real reason for it and there are no rumors and speculations as well because it is already an age-old problem!”
“Does that mean Rolling Dragon King definitely cannot come ash.o.r.e?”
“He can’t if he uses his Demonic Dragon Body that is at the Lord of Heaven Realm. However, this time, Yu Nantian has gone too far. Since he has destroyed Rolling Dragon King’s base, no one can be sure that Rolling Dragon King will come ash.o.r.e by using other means, for example, by refining an Outer-body Incarnation with lower cultivation or concealing his cultivation with secret skills. Actually, he doesn’t need to come ash.o.r.e. All he needs to do is to offer a reward for the capture of Yu Nantian. He’s quite wealthy and he always takes his rare treasures with him. If he offers a dozen Pure Yang Celestial Devices as a reward for the capture of Yu Nantian, there will definitely be someone who is willing to take this risk!”
“That makes sense!” Although Zhou Bao was somewhat disappointed, after hearing White Tiger’s words, he felt a little better now. All his hard work would be paid off, although it seemed that its effect was not what he had expected.
“Well, we will stop there. Have a good rest and we’ll go back tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow?” Moon Deer of Extended Net looked up and asked. He didn’t expect that they would go back so quickly.
“Well, how long do you want to stay here?” Upon seeing Moon Deer of Extended Net’s expression, a gleam flashed across White Tiger’s eyes. He added, “What other things do you want to do?”
“Nothing, I just didn’t expect that we’ll be going back so quickly!” Moon Deer of Extended Net replied hurriedly. He continued, “We just arrived today!”
“Yes, you did, but we have been here for several days already. Every food in this place smells of the sea. What else can we do except to leave?” After he had finished speaking, White Tiger showed Zhou Bao and Moon Deer of Extended Net out.
When Zhou Bao was about to go to his room, Moon Deer of Extended Net stopped him.
Zhou Bao had neither a bad or favorable impression of Moon Deer of Extended Net. He felt sorry for his misfortune. As a Family Head whose family had been eliminated, he had wanted to take revenge but had no equivalent strength. He wanted to find some opportunities but failed each time. If not for the protection of Immortal Palace, he would have already been killed by the w.a.n.g family. Therefore, Zhou Bao always sympathized with him.
Likewise, Moon Deer of Extended Net also envied Zhou Bao a lot. However, he clearly knew that they were at different levels. As a Level Nine expert who had easily killed a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm, Zhou Bao had a quite bright future ahead of him. He could not figure out what Zhou Bao would be in the future and dared not belittle him.
Therefore, he treated Zhou Bao with great respect and spoke to him very politely.
“Excellency Zhou, if you don’t mind, could you come to my room, please. I hope that you can do me a favor!”
“Haha, no need to be so courteous. We’re all members of Immortal Palace, so you’d better call me Junior Leopard! That sounds better.” Zhou Bao smiled and followed Moon Deer of Extended Net into his room, saying, “I surely will help you if I can!”
“In fact, it’s very simple. You know what happened to me because you and Golden Rooster saved me from people of the w.a.n.g family!”
“Yeah, I know!” Zhou Bao wore a wry smile as if he knew what Moon Deer of Extended Net was going to say. He added, “Are you asking me to avenge you? I can’t do that. I might be one of the 28 constellations of Immortal Palace and also the Earl of Jin, but I am not a killer!”
“Of course I know. I’m not that stupid to ask you to avenge me. I’ll do it myself. I just hope that you can slowly lessen the power of the w.a.n.g family!”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re powerful and as the Earl of Jin, your relations.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g family is not that good. Therefore, creating trouble for them should not be a problem for you. If you want to boost the development of the Wuyang Region, you need to expand your power; if your Anyuan Store wants to develop, you need to have conflicts of interest with the w.a.n.g family. In this case…!
“Does that mean you want me to be the enemy of the w.a.n.g family, or you want me to show my stance to all the people?”
“That’s right. However, you don’t need to display any att.i.tude directly. With your current status and strength, you just need to be show animosity towards the w.a.n.g family and they will be in trouble soon!” said Moon Deer of Extended Net.
Zhou Bao did not have that kind of influence previously. However, everything changed after he possessed the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword that could kill a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm with a single move.
“That will not be a difficult task, however, as a millennium family, they are…!”
“I’ll offer you a good price!” Moon Deer of Extended Net added, “You will definitely be satisfied with it!”
