Holding onto the Evil Fire Kylin’s Inner Elixir, Zhou Bao started to slowly think about the mysteries of the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. After an hour, he opened his eyes and looked at the fire red Internal Elixir in his hand. He took a deep breath, utilized all his strength, and crushed the Internal Elixir into pieces. A gush of golden red essence rose up into the sky, but it was then absorbed into Zhou Bao’s Mysterious Divine Light.
After absorbing the essence of the Internal Elixir and waiting for it to sink into the Dantian, Zhou Bao activated the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. Mysterious Divine Light shot up from the Dantian; and after a few rounds of circulation, it penetrated into the Twelve Regular Vessels and Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The three Dantians bloated up at the same time. The essence in the Evil Fire Kylin’s Internal Elixir was immediately melted by the Mysterious Divine Light, turning into a scorching hot energy and drilling into Zhou Bao.
“Sss~~!” Zhou Bao sucked in a cold breath. At that moment, this scorching airflow spread across his whole body. From skin to bone marrow, from tendons and meridians to blood; these places were as if being washed by the scorching air.
Zhou Bao felt an indescribable lightness in his whole body. He could ‘see’ that the thread of Flickering Light Evil Qi left in his original body, as well as all the Evil Qi and pneuma he had ever absorbed, were all wiped out cleanly. Each pore, each cell, and each muscle were filled with the most primitive and instinctive power.
Yes, power, endless power. Apart from power, there was nothing else. Just pure power.
“Power, Extreme Realm of Force, and crushing vacuum; those things are the final goal of the Zhuyan tribe. Apart from crushing vacuum, everything else is in vain!” Zhou Bao suddenly understood something. He gradually began to realize some things from the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and also found the goal of cultivation.
“The Primordial Fierce Beast is indeed different, even its way of cultivation is so extreme, simple, straightforward and powerful. It is much stronger than human beings, but that’s inevitable. The conditions of Primordial Fierce Beasts are so much better than humans’. It is not surprising that they can create outstanding and powerful cultivation methods that point to the very essence of it. Eight Nine Mysterious Skill, hehe, this skill is comparable to 3,000 Great Ways!”
Zhou Bao sighed out a long breath and suddenly disappeared from the room. After a split second, he reappeared on a hill hundreds of miles away.
“Hmph, even if I don’t have the Flickering Light Evil Qi, I can still tear the space apart with the strength in my body. And if united with the Three Realms Division, I am much faster and can do it even further. As for other special techniques, except for the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, I do not need anything else. Messy and unprecise, that’s not how I want to do things. As long as I practice the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and crazily increase my strength and power, I can defeat anything with just one punch, be it special techniques or secret skills. Same with celestial devices. I don’t give a damn!” Standing on the hill and embracing the wind, Zhou Bao’s eyes glittered. “In antiquity times, the powerful Demonic Ape Zhuyan could even defeat Supreme Fairy Weapons with its physical body. Perhaps that phase was the legendary ‘crushing vacuum’, haha~!”
As he was deep in thoughts, his expression suddenly changed and annoyance was seen on his face. “Child-endowing Buddha, since you’re here already, why keep hiding like a fart that you are? Come out!”
“Hehehehehe, it seems like the benefits of the Evil Fire Kylin are indeed not bad. You unexpectedly detected my spirit so quickly!” A weird laughter was heard and Child-endowing Buddha came out with a protruding, fat belly.
“Hmph. In terms of benefits, you have so much more than me. Not only did you get two Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices, you also got a beauty. By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. What’s so special about that woman that makes her worth so much to you?!”
“Nothing much, nothing much. She’s just a beautiful woman, and I like beautiful women. That’s all!
“Tsk!” Zhou Bao sneered and gave a scornful look. “Come on! Just a woman? If she’s really just a woman, then why are you so nervous? Why did you take action in front of so many people? Green Spirit, this is not your style!”
“I too can’t do anything about it; I also don’t believe it. But sometimes, you have no choice but to believe that love at first sight really does exist!” Child-endowing Buddha said with a bitter look, “I even have to thank you for doing me such a great favor. If it wasn’t for you, this woman may not even have surrendered to me!”
“There’s so much hypocritical nonsense coming from you! You stole a beauty! You ran from a peaceful countryside miles away to come to my Wuyang Region. Don’t tell me this is just to show off your new woman?!”
“Of course not! I’m won’t be that lame! I’m here to discuss something with you!”
“Discuss? What is there to discuss with me?!”
“Its time to give the Divine Wind Palace some pressure!” Child-endowing Buddha did not care about Zhou Bao’s sarcasm, and his expression became serious. “This is a good chance. This time, all five biggest sects have suffered a lot. The person to blame is Rolling Dragon King, but no one would be dumb enough to find trouble with him. Eventually, all this anger will be directed to Yu Nantian. This would be a good chance for us to attack the Divine Wind Palace!”
“Divine Wind Palace is so easily attacked?!”
“This time around, things are different. There is a fight between two internal big families. We just need to add oil to the fire. Hehe, both Yu family and Hong family are not easy to handle. If they both fight with each other, it would be beneficial to us!”
“Do you think they are dumb enough to let you benefit out of this?!”
“Of course they’re not stupid! We also cannot expect the fight to really happen. But it would be possible to drill a nail between both families, and cracks will build up over time. And when the time is right, it will crumble on its own. To deal with the Divine Wind Palace, we must target both the inside and the outside of it!”
“You’re just a fake Child-endowing Buddha. Why are you so concerned with the five biggest sects instead of playing with some women in Bigwheel Temple? Is it possible that you really want to become the Bigwheel Temple’s leader?!”
“Hmph. Based on my current power and potential, it is not impossible to become Bigwheel Temple’s leader!” Child-endowing Buddha became proud. “But you know already know that I’m really not interested in the position. Now that everyone knows that my cultivation is practiced regularly and has become a divine intervention, my status in the Bigwheel Temple has soared very much. Now, the Bigwheel Temple will ask for my opinion on many decisions. So in order to secure my spot, I should do something for them too. The higher I go and the more secure my position is, the more advantages you have, no?!”
“So you chose to go against Divine Wind Palace?!”
“I need to show some results. Although I did gain a huge benefit and showcased my ability, my accompanying monks all died in Splendid Landscape Map. This requires an explanation, and the best explanation would be to pressurize Divine Wind Palace and get something out of them.”
“Haha, it is always easier said than done. How are you going to do that? Don’t tell me you want me to join hands with you?!” Zhou Bao gave a cold laugh. “Child-endowing Buddha, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I don’t want other people to know our past relationship!”
“This I understand, of course. I am not asking you to go with me. For a big school like Divine Wind Palace, even if both of us pressurize them together, there wouldn’t be much effect. All we need to do is to show our stance. I will go there and ask for a compensation for my poor monks. You, on the other hand, have to deal with them using another method!”
“Which method?!”
“Candidate for Human Emperor!”
“Why does this involve the Human Emperor again?!” Zhou Bao frowned.
“Isn’t this all coincidental?!” Child-endowing Buddha gave a cold smile. “You should know, Divine Wind Palace has always wanted to regain the power of the Ancient Celestial Court and bring back the Human Emperor’s position, ruling the whole country. However, it is not easy to bring back the position. Apart from huge power, a strong fate and birth destiny are required.”
“This I know, a supreme being’s life is needed!”
“Nonsense. That is for the Emperor of a dynasty, not a Human Emperor. For a Human Emperor, you’ll need the life of a celestial being. Just like your daughter and son, they have it! Only those with such birth destiny are suitable candidates for being a Human Emperor!” Speaking of which, he glanced at Zhou Bao and broke into laughter. “However, the life of a celestial being is not easy to get! This is also why Divine Wind Palace brought this idea to Dragon-taming Ruins. They wanted to make use of the strong earth vein fate there to mass produce a group of candidates with the life of a celestial being. Although they did not succeed completely, after so many years, there are a few candidates that became candidates for the Human Emperor, just like your old father-in-law!”
“What did you say? Yan Yuntian was brought up by Divine Wind Palace?!”
“Obviously, if not, why do you think his birth destiny is so good and his fate so smooth-sailing? His mother, your wife’s grandmother, is surnamed Yu!”
Hearing this, Zhou Bao froze. He stood there and said not a single word.
“Not only Yan Yuntian, a few emperors from various dynasties in Li dynasty of Penglai Region, as well as two other regions, are all from Divine Wind Palace!”
“They are also related to the Yu family?!”
“No, no, no, no, no. There is not just one Yu family in Divine Wind Palace. There is at least one more Hong family. Other than that, there are other families!” Speaking of which, Child-endowing Buddha scanned Zhou Bao. “If not, why do you think Immortal Palace is so interested after finding out your land is the place of Nine Dragons convergence? Why did they build the Sea-calming Palace here to press down the dragon vein without any consideration for costs? They have the same idea as Immortal Palace. Your children’s birth destinies, hehe, are costly beyond words~!”
