Chapter 706: The Condition of the Sea Emperor
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao had to handle the hidden danger without harming too many creatures, whether they were evil or not. It was greatly inconsistent with his character. Zhou Bao felt very frustrated.
“Well, it will be a tricky task!” Zhou Bao sighed, “Your Majesty, do you have any good suggestions?”
“Me? Hehe, I don’t have any hopes for the Heaven Realm World anymore; however given all the years I’ve been here, there are some things I have to care about. There are three hidden dangers in the Heaven Realm World. The first is the devil. I fear that the Dark Sect in the Heaven Realm World will be bewitched by him and wanted to approach the Primordial Demon in the Infinite Star Sea. The second one is Divine Wind Palace. They have been in control of the Golden Book of Fate for so many years that they must have some leeway left. Your intent is to push them to the brink of ruin, but be careful of their counterattacks. As for the third one, it is me. If I am in a black mood one day, I may destroy the infinite s.p.a.ces around the Heaven Realm World!”
“You must be kidding, Your Majesty!” Zhou Bao listened to the first two hidden dangers with a smile, but when he heard the third one, his smile froze.
“I’m not kidding. Fate Creation Boy is the Fate Creator, but I dislike him. This time, for the best interests of the Heaven Realm World, I gave you the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. But I will not just stand around if he does something improper!”
“You seem to have a serious conflict with Fate Creation Boy. This matter is between the both of you. I’m not going to be involved!”
“You’re a smart person. You certainly know what’s best for yourself!” As if he had expected what Zhou Bao would say, the Sea Emperor smiled, “Our official business is over. Let’s talk about private matters now!”
“Private matters?”
“I have a favor to ask you!” The Sea Emperor said, “You see, I’m stuck in this place and I can’t get out, so there are a lot of things I can’t do. I can’t trust anyone else to do it, but you’re a good choice!”
“I’m flattered, Your Majesty. So what can I do for you?”
“You’ve been the Infinite Star Sea. You know, it is dominated by 14 macro worlds of two Star Areas. Once in a while they will gather the Devil Fetus. And they are so stupid to think that they’ve gained great benefits!”
“Why, is there something wrong with the Devil Fetus?”
No, the Devil Fetus is fine. The thoroughly vanquished Devil Fetus will be the greatest help to your practice, and it can increase your strength in a short time!”
“So if the Devil Fetus is not a problem and is good for practice, why would you call them stupid?” Zhou Bao asked, puzzled.
“Remember, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Human greed will never end. The more you get, the more you want. Would the Primordial Demon be so kind to form a Devil Fetus every now and then for the benefit of mankind?”
“Not everyone is able to subdue the Devil Fetus, and some are controlled by it!”
“These guys were almost killed, and the ones who did not die did not cause any big problems.” The Sea Emperor shook his head and said, “Be wary, however, of those who have surrendered to the Devil Fetus. They are the most dangerous. These guys even re-established a Dark Sect in the two Star Areas and the Infinite Star Sea. After so many years, and with the recent conveying of the will from the Immortal Realm, I think that the benefits from the Devil Fetus are no longer enough to satisfy their greed.”
“You mean someone wants to make use of the Primordial Demon!”
“Of course, the so-called Devil Fetus is merely the sweet bait that the Primordial Demon puts out!”
A smirk flashed across the Sea Emperor’s face. “Anyone who has taken the bait has benefited a lot and wants to eat the Primordial Demon as well. And in order to eat the Primordial Demon, you must first release him. You know that, right?”
“Are all Devil Fetuses baits? The Primordial Demon really has a good grasp of the human mind!”
“Help me destroy this Primordial Demon!” The Sea Emperor said, “This guy is tough to deal with. Although his power and status in the ancient Devil tribe are not as good as that of Marquis Wugu, he is still very shrewd. Over the years he has bred numerous Devil Fetuses. When a person has merged with a Devil Fetus, whether it’s subdued or it has control over the person, all the spirits and thoughts of that person are open to the Primordial Demon. All of the person’s experiences, ideas and thoughts will be fully revealed to the Primordial Demon. Over the years, he has learned more about human beings and human nature than we do. If he comes out, he will be a bigger threat than Marquis Wugu!”
“They could not have imagined such a thing happening?”
“People are greedy. Even though they know they must face terrible consequences, they will never give up their immediate benefits. So too with you!”
“Yes, I am the same. If the benefits are attractive enough, I will take the risk!” Zhou Bao smiled, “But what does it have to do with you? Do you know the Primordial Demon?”
“Hum, I have some enmity with him. I don’t want him to come out. If you kill him, I’ll give you the benefits!”
“What kind of benefits?”
“Dharma Power-restoring Skill, Immortal Body Technique and Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, three of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. They can help you gather the Three Flowers above the Head in the shortest time!”
“The Seven Wonderful Techniques?” A flash of surprise pa.s.sed through Zhou Bao’s eyes. He did not expect the Sea Emperor to be so generous. He already knew two of the three skills that the Sea Emperor was giving. He only needed to get the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, but, since the Sea Emperor was going to give him three, he would willingly take them all.
“I’ve heard how amazing the Seven Wonderful Techniques are, but at the end of the day, they’re just secret skills, and I don’t need them right now. You intend to trade the three secret skills in return for me to deal with a Primordial Demon. You must have a low opinion of me!”
“The Seven Wonderful Techniques are the most powerful secret skills. Their benefits are absolutely beyond your imagination. And the three secret skills will do you a lot of good in gathering the Three Flowers above the Head!”. He looked at Zhou Bao and continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can practice them first. You can help me if you think it’s worth it. I always do things fairly. What do you think?”
“Well, since you highly recommend these secret skills, it will be good for me to learn them. If they’re as amazing as you say, I will help you.” Zhou Bao smiled, “I am a man who never breaks his word!”
“Good!” The Sea Emperor nodded and immediately imparted the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, the Immortal Body Technique and the Dharma Power-restoring Skill to Zhou Bao.
His Immortal Body Technique and Dharma Power-restoring Skill were no different from what Zhou Bao knew before.
“If you want me to kill the Primordial Demon, you have to tell me more about him, details such as his strengths, weaknesses, unique skills and so on.”
“He is a master of disguise. He usually disguises himself as an ordinary human or a demon. He is not very powerful. He had just stepped into the Realm of Earthly Immortal before he was put down. Now that he’s been locked up for so many years, he has the power of the Immortal at best. You can suppress him!”
“Easier said than done. He is an Earthly Immortal. Even though he’s been imprisoned for so many years and his strength has waned, he would still have the basics. Would he be so easy to deal with?”
“His abilities were all in one devil device, but when he was suppressed, all of his magic weapons and devil devices were seized. Nothing should be a threat to you, except his ultimate skill!”
“Your Majesty, don’t forget, I’m going to kill him. He will definitely launch his ultimate skill!”
“Hmm, the Primordial Demon has only one ultimate skill, namely Self-harm Skill. This skill allows them to instantly burn their essence and blood and lives, which would increase their strength tenfold or even a hundredfold!”
“Is the Self-harm Skill convenient to use?”
“Very convenient!”
“That’s too bad. His strength is at the level of the Immortal, and he might get desperate at any given time. It’s going to be very difficult to kill him. Besides, do I just go directly to the Infinite Star Sea to kill him?”
“You’d better go to the Infinite Star Sea right now. I have a feeling that if you’re late, then he will really come out!”
“It can’t be such a coincidence. He hasn’t been out all these years. You’ve just told me about it, and he might come out?”
“Don’t forget, Marquis Wugu was saved by his Devil Fetus. Although Marquis Wugu is strong, his strength has been greatly sapped, and he is unable to achieve anything on his own. The man trapped in the Infinite Star Sea was a famous expert amongst the Primordial Demons. Marquis Wugu will of course try to save him first. Otherwise, how could I impart to you the three kinds of the Seven Wonderful Techniques at once? How could there be such a good thing in the world?”
“So what you are saying is that when I go to the Infinite Star Sea, not only do I have to deal with the Primordial Demon, but I also need to handle Marquis Wugu, right?” Zhou’s eyes were stony, and a sneer appeared on his face. “Humph, I have seen Marquis Wugu’s power, and I am no match for him. Your Majesty, do you want him to kill me?”
“If I wanted to kill you, I don’t have to rely on anyone else. You’ve just reached the Realm of Human Immortal, but your combat capability is at the top of Immortal. Added to that, your Supreme Fairy Weapon, even if you cannot beat an Earthly Immortal, can easily beat these two stray dogs. Besides, Marquis Wugu is very paranoid. He has just escaped, and he is an extremely frightened person. As long as you display your great strength, he will never dare to fight with you, but will try to run away!”
“How can you be so sure?”
“I never do anything unless I am totally sure about it!”
