Chapter 617: The Pool of Thunder Tribulation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“What is going on exactly? There’s something in this Ancient Ruin that can help us undergo the Void Thunder Tribulation?!” When w.a.n.g She mentioned the problem of undergoing the Void Thunder Tribulation, Zhou Bao became fl.u.s.tered.
“This is what I heard. In this Ancient Ruin, there is a Pool of Thunder Tribulation, if we can get it, then…!”
“Pool of Thunder Tribulation?! Are you sure?” Zhou Bao’s gaze changed, and he stood up instantly. He knew about the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Its history was not that important, but not only could it help people get through the Thunder Tribulation, it could, most importantly, be used as an energy source for Supreme Fairy Weapons. If Zhou Bao could move the Pool of Thunder Tribulation into his Supreme Fairy Weapon, he would not need to extract pneuma from the Azure Big World anymore. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation could run it normally and he could even use it to launch big moves. All along, however, Zhou Bao had always a.s.sumed that it was just a legend. He did not expect to hear of such news from w.a.n.g She today. How could he not be excited?
“I can’t be sure, but there’s a possibility!”
Zhou Bao contemplated w.a.n.g She’s statement, but he had no choice. No one could be sure of such things just from looking at the map.
“The entrance to the Ancient Ruin is on the Devil Fetus’ Desolate Island. How is there such a coincidence in this world?!”
Looking at the map, Zhou Bao recovered from his excitement and began to ponder, deep in thought. “The Devil Fetus only occupied the desolated island for a few short years. Do you think it is the Divine Wind Palace trying to stir thing up releasing this? Perhaps they want to attract treasure-hunters to fight with the Devil Fetus and then take advantage when both sides are heavily injured?!
“It’s possible, but unlikely!” w.a.n.g She shook his head. “The Divine Wind Palace would not do such a thing, it’s not their style!” Speaking of which, he was deep in thought again. “The Dark Sect would, but the Divine Wind Palace wouldn’t!”
“You seem to trust that bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds in the Divine Wind Palace quite a lot!” Zhou Bao laughed.
“They may be p.r.i.c.ks, but…!”
He stopped talking before he finished his sentence.
“His Royal Highness, Zhu Excellency is requesting to see you!” At this moment, an announcement came from outside the yard.
“Let him in!” Zhou Bao replied.
After becoming a Level Nine expert, Zhu Ba was much more mature than he’d been in the past. A few glances at him also revealed a sense of masculinity. However, he hid this side of his personality in front of Zhou Bao. “Hehe, His Royal Highness, big matter!”
“Big matter? What big matter?!”
Zhu Ba glanced at w.a.n.g She and appeared hesitant.
“Stop hesitating, speak up. Will Chief w.a.n.g not know what you know?!”
“Hehe!” Zhu Ba smiled awkwardly. He took something out and presented it to Zhou Bao. “Your Royal Highness, this is a map. Apparently, it has something to do with an Ancient Ruin from antiquity times. There is a huge benefit inside, something to do with a thing called the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!”
“What?!” Both w.a.n.g She and Zhou Bao were shocked. They were not expecting Zhu Bao to deliver such news. Furthermore, he also had a map.
Zhou Bao lifted his hand and delivered the map. He opened it and the two scanned the map. Both their expressions became strange, especially w.a.n.g She, who appeared slightly distraught and embarra.s.sed. This was understandable. What he thought was a big secret that he’d ran to share with Zhou Bao, was delivered to him just like that in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, he had a map too.
“Where did you get this map?!”
“From an escort agency!” Zhu Ba replied and began to tell the whole story. It turned out that an unknown person had requested the top escort agency in Jiang province to deliver this map. The person paid a hefty sum, the biggest the agency had received since their establishment 200 years ago. Naturally, they dared not take the matter lightly. Precisely because of the extra caution, it attracted people’s attention. There were no bandits on Wuyang Road, but there were at other places. Before the map was delivered to its destination, it was robbed.
There were not just bandits. After a round of s.n.a.t.c.hing, it eventually ended up in the hands of people from Anyuan Store. Before long, news of the transaction, especially the part about the Ancient Ruin and Pool of Thunder Tribulation, was spreading like wildfire. After hearing the news, Zhu Ba did not want to lose out. He returned to Wuyang Region as fast as he could and delivered it. He did not expect w.a.n.g She and Zhou Bao to be discussing the exact same matter.
After listening silently to Zhu Ba’s narration, Zhou Bao waved his hand, signaling him to retreat. He turned his head towards w.a.n.g She and asked, “What do you think of this?!”
“It’s a trap!” w.a.n.g She seemed somewhat discouraged.
“Or rather, it’s bait. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation is bait to lure us to the Desolate Island!” Zhou Bao replied calmly. “Or maybe the Ancient Ruin really does have what we want?!”
“You mean…!”
“Let’s go and take a look! After all, we have nothing to lose!” Zhou Bao smiled faintly. “After such a big ruckus, if we don’t go there personally, we’ll be looked down upon instead!”
“Okay, when should we set out?”
“Now, but before we go to the Desolate Island, we need to find someone. Maybe he’ll have some news that will interest us!”
“Who?!”
“The Child-endowing Buddha!”
The Child-endowing Buddha was living a very comfortable life in the Bigwheel Temple. To a certain extent, he was already an internally fixed successor of the Bigwheel Temple and had been greatly elevated by the Hierarch Huan Ri. No one knew what kind of a method he used to gain his favor. As for Zhou Bao and w.a.n.g She’s arrival, he seemed to have already predicted it. He had already prepared tea and snacks in his waiting room. He was waiting for them in ease and comfort.
“d.a.m.n monk!”
Breaking open the hollow, Zhou Bao appeared in the waiting room. When he first saw the Child-endowing Buddha, he cursed silently. “I say, you continue to be relaxed. If you ever die on a woman’s stomach, n.o.body will save you!”
“Hahahaha, no way! But you, you will likely end up dying because of greed!” The Child-endowing Buddha reb.u.t.ted Zhou Bao’s sneer with a sharp tone. He glanced at w.a.n.g She. “You guys are here for the entrance to the Ancient Ruin on the Desolated Island, right?!”
“Then, the Ancient Ruin really does exist!” Zhou Bao’s eyes flashed. He understood the underlying meaning in Child-endowing Buddha’s words.
The Child-endowing Buddha waved his hand, signaling his servants to leave. He took out a map. “I know, you guys do not lack this, right?!”
“Seems like no one does!” Zhou Bao smiled.
“This is the map from the Thunder Emperor’s palace from antiquity times, there is indeed a Pool of Thunder Tribulation inside!” He smiled. “I think I even know who let this piece of information out!”
“Who?!”
“Devil Fetus!”
