Chapter 742: The Steady Road
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“No way. The Holy Alliance cowards actually retreated and took possession of the Infinite Star Sea!” Seeing the Lord of Heaven Black Turtle completely dejected, Zhou Bao’s mouth stretched into a smile. There was no way he could have expected the situation to come to this, that the so-called leader of the three largest influences in the hollow, the Holy Alliance, would retreat so easily and completely.
“There are indeed some problems with this, but if you think about it, it is not impossible. According to Lin Feng, the Jade Dragon World and the Celestial Pool World are below-average macro worlds. There are also problems within the Holy Alliance itself. So if you look at it this way, it seems that our power in the Heaven Realm World exceeded their expectations, and it made sense for them to retreat.”
“Made sense?” Zhou Bao looked at the Fate Creation Boy and thought to himself. “Is this really happening? We cannot allow them to trick us and then take the opportunity to raid us when we’re not paying attention!”
“Actually, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation has been laid out. They intended to raid, but they cannot. What is there to worry about?” The Fate Creation Boy shook his head. “I am very familiar with how the Realm Lords commanding the macro worlds think. They have the same flaw as that father-in-law of yours, they are too caught up in the losses and gains, too scared of death, too calculating. It wouldn’t be so strange for them to make this kind of decision!”
“So this means that the Infinite Star Sea couldn’t stop them!”
“Of course they couldn’t stop them!” The Black Turtle had a look of trepidation. “More than a hundred thousand Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, who could stop that? Three days, it took just three days for them to wipe out the influence of fourteen macro worlds in the Celestial Ocean Sky Area and the Purple Scorpion Sea Area of the Infinite Star Sea! Although my Secret Store is considered a good foundation, there’s no way it could have any effect in the Infinite Star Sea!”
“Even if they were to occupy the Infinite Star Sea, they wouldn’t be able to control it entirely because of the Primordial Demon, right?”
“Do you think the men of the Holly Alliance are really that stupid? Of course, they cannot afford to encounter the Primordial Demon! It would cause them so much bad luck if they aggravated it!” The Black Turtle composed himself and spoke more quietly. “The Holy Alliance is one of the three largest influences in the hollow. The Primordial Demon is obviously no stranger to them. There are ways of dealing with them, but that’s not for us to worry about. My worry is that once they’re done with wiping the Infinite Star Sea out, are we their next target?”
“The fact that they took out the Infinite Star Sea, shows that they know themselves well. We were the initial target, but they settled for second best. They just wanted to justify themselves. No matter how ugly this justification is, when it is done, the Holy Alliance will not bicker too much. The only thing left would be a personal grudge!”
“A personal grudge? You mean, the two Young Realm Masters we got rid of?”
“That’s right, the two Young Realm Masters we got rid of. This time they’ve chosen to avoid the wrath of our Heaven Realm World for a while. But this doesn’t mean that they don’t want to avenge their son’s death, they’re just waiting for the right opportunity!”
“I won’t give them a chance!”
“Hmph. Think again! When they wiped out the Infinite Star Sea, their experiment was already finished. The Holy Alliance is one of the three influences of the hollow. When they finished their experiment, it meant that the influences in the hollow were done with their experiment on us. They won’t try again for a short while, but after that, they will really go after us!”
“Really go after us?” Zhou Bao blinked and laughed. “I don’t deal with this kind of thing!”
“I never considered making you deal with this kind of thing. Your approach to dealing with things has always been rough and brutal, not appropriate for this situation. However, your father-in-law is a very suitable person.”
“In other words, this has nothing to do with me from now on?”
“Unless force is needed to deter them, you won’t be needed for this.”
“That’s fine. But I risked life and limb for the Heaven Realm World, fought until I was injured all over!” exclaimed Zhou Bao, seeming very happy about it. “Since I’m not involved anymore, can I go?”
“Yes, go! If something happens I’ll have Black Turtle come and get you. Anyway, the Infinite Star Sea has been completely wiped out, so he won’t be involved anymore!” The Fate Creation Boy pointed, laughing at the helpless Black Turtle.
“That’s right. The Infinite Star Sea was finally destroyed!”
Deep in the hollow, the leader of the Holy Alliance smiled weakly when he heard news of the choice the Celestial Pool World and the Jade Dragon World had made.
“Indeed, they chose to back down as we expected!”
“I would have backed down as well. When the enemy’s strength is unknown, I wouldn’t let my subordinates send a child, let alone go myself to my own death!”
“In that case, there’s no other way. Think of a way to contact the Heaven Realm World. They have the skill to force the Holy Alliance fleet to leave, this means the Heaven Realm World is still qualified to make their voices heard in the hollow. As such, they are obligated to their task!”
“It doesn’t matter if they make their voices heard in the hollow. I fear it will be difficult to hold them accountable for their task. So many years have pa.s.sed!”
“Yes. After all these years, they will fulfill their duties and obligations, but only if they still believe they’ve been stuck in a corner for all these years and will deteriorate from a lack of resources.”
“I see. I will contact the Heaven Realm World immediately.”
“It seems news of the retreat of the two macro words has spread throughout the hollow. There must be other powers besides us who can contact them!”
“Then should we be the first to act?”
“That is not necessary. The Heaven Realm World is already well on its way to integrating into the hollow. The advantages of the Heaven Realm World are also being shared with the whole hollow. We do not need to deal with that. However, we cannot lose any more of our Holy Alliance!”
“I see. So from now on, we just let things take their course?”
“Yes. Just let things take their course. There’s no point in fighting over things. We’ll focus on something worthwhile. Anyway, what happened when those b*stards got cold feet needs to be investigated, you should send someone to reprimand them!”
“Yes, leader.”
The return of the Heaven Realm World to the hollow became more delicate after the fleets of the Celestial Pool World and Jade Dragon World. The circ.u.mstances they faced were not as bad as they had previously imagined, and in as little as a month, 16 powers within the hollow had contacted the Heaven Realm World and engaged in talks.
Of course, none of this concerned Zhou Bao. He withdrew from the Holy Alliance, said goodbye to the Fate Creation Boy and disappeared. n.o.body knew where he went.
Even if the Fate Creation Boy wanted to find him, it would take a lot of effort.
“This world has quietened down,” Zhou Bao lamented as he sat cross-legged in the hollow. G.o.d knew who this part of the hollow belonged to. He did not want to get overly involved with bad people in dealing with the mess of the Heaven Realm World. He needed to sort out his own situation and was trying his best to do it.
Although he had learned many things, he had been choosing his future road for a long time. Especially after completing the Three Flowers above the Head, this road was wider, clearer and more stable. He was had given all of the various things he learned before, such as his secret skills, to his Dragon Chimera incarnation.
His Dragon Chimera incarnation was the device spirit of the Furnace of Immortality rather than his incarnation. He had been secretly practicing the Furnace of Immortality for hundreds of years now and had had the faint feeling of being unified with it. Precisely because of this feeling, he was becoming more skilled at operating it. He believed that once his incarnation was completely unified with the Furnace of Immortality, it would evolve into a Heavenly Fairy Weapon.
This was not his imagination. After hundreds of years of practice, the Furnace of Immortality had turned from a Lower Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon into a Medium Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon, and it now had signs of rising to an Upper Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon. He believed that with perseverance, he did not need hundreds of years more for the Taihao Fairy Weapon to evolve into a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. With his power, this evolution would produce such a huge upgrade that he would even be able to use it to condense the Five Qis in the Chest.
The Gathering of Essence, Qi, Spirit in Acupoint, and the Five Qis Collecting in Mind!
The Five Qis were the Qis of the five elements!
The three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit had an effect within, and the Five Qis had an effect on the outside.
Once the Five Qis in the Chest were fully condensed, he would have supreme control over his essence of the world.
All the pneuma in the world, even the Divine Qi, was evolved from the Five Qis. The pneuma and essence were at a higher level than the Divine Qi and were also evolved from the Five Qis. Once they were condensed into the Five Qis, all the sources of pneuma would be condensed. At that point, it would be possible to ascend to the path of Immortals, and practice at the Immortal Karmic Rank!
But for now, he had only condensed the Three Flowers above the Head, the first stage of mastering the Five Kinds of Qi. But there was no rush.
“The method of Dharma power practice is based on the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. This is the fundamental way. The Icy Divine Light and Mysterious Divine Light have already merged into one to become the Mysterious Icy Divine Light, and they have no need to change again. The punching skill is still the most important in confronting the enemy. Once it is condensed into the three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, I will gain considerable insight into the hollow. It is not certain whether my fist intent can progress day by day, it is also not certain whether it will actually condense into an entire universe one day. The Seven Wonderful Techniques are the optimal supplementary secret skills. I need to think of a way to get hold of the remaining Wonderful Techniques. After that happens, it is not certain whether they will evolve further. The Flipping Sky Seal and Infinite Trembling Contemplation, and even the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, are good enough to handle normal adversaries!”
When he thought of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword special technique, Zhou Bao became sad that he had had to give it up. But in the end, he still had the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Although the Natal Sword was extremely sharp, when he moved into the Dragon Chimera incarnation his path was at odds with the sword. He could not use it, and so he had no choice but to let go of it.
