“Long-eyebrowed Patriarch, no!”
The four Lords of Heaven and 28 Venerables were aware of the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch’s offer.
No sooner had he put forward the invitation when one man objected strongly.
“Humph, Qi Ningbi, as the Master of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, you do not lead by example, and you did a poor job of educating your son, causing him to behave violently. This has caused so much trouble and huge losses for Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. Do you still not distinguish between public and private? You are dragging Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain into this quagmire!”
The Long-eyebrowed Patriarch was beside himself with rage. He berated the Master sharply, despite his high standing position.
In this world, the Leader of a sect held great power, but this didn’t mean he could dominate everything. In an analogy between sects and companies, the Leader would be the general manager, the professional manager; the Elders would be the shareholders; the Highest Elders would be the board of directors, and the strongest would be the chairman, the president of the board. After all, few chairmen would have the misfortune to be sued by the company, and not many general managers would betray the chairman.
Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain was a very traditional school that had always respected the old customs. The Mountain Master, holding great power, was greatly restricted. However, since he was also a Lord of Heaven, he was similar to an extremely powerful board member. As a result, his authority was so great that he acted with great arbitrariness. When his son made mistakes, he was used to solving them with the power of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. But this time, he encountered difficulties.
As the saying goes, rude people are afraid of reckless people, and reckless people are afraid of those who dare to fight with their lives.
Qi Miaoyi was a rude man, while Zhou Bao was a reckless man. Zhou Bao usually acted rashly, without thought. No matter who it was, the young master of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain or the disciple of the Highest Elder, if someone annoyed him, he would kill them. If someone’s father messed with him, he would kill the father. If a sect caught his fury, he would destroy the sect.
This was his simple logic, and that was how it was!
Faced with such a reckless person, the Master of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain had initially wanted to kill him to avenge his son, so he had attacked Zhou Bao unscrupulously. To his surprise, Zhou Bao found him instead, and shocked the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch, who was already beyond the world, with mighty power.
Perhaps it was because the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch had not been paying attention to secular affairs for so many years, and because having been the Mountain Master for so many years, he had become so accustomed to dogmatism that he had forgotten the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch’s power and authority and questioned him in public. He was immediately reprimanded.
In fact, everyone knew it was more than a reprimand. It was very likely that Qi Ningbi’s position as Mountain Master would soon come to an end. In any company, once the chairman found that someone confused work and private affairs, this person would be finished. Qi Ningbi was no exception.
All of a sudden, an intersecting network of lights flashed out of the stricken Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and covered Zhou Bao. The space around him was changing unpredictably. Then he found himself in a large hall.
It was the Extraterrestrial Divine Palace!
Three words were elegantly written on the high horizontal inscribed board. More than 30 people sat according to their level of strength. An old man with long eyebrows in the middle of the hall caught Zhou Bao’s attention.
Was he a Lord of Heaven?
No, he was more powerful, unfathomable and eccentric than a Lord of Heaven!
“A Human Immortal?” He stared at the long-browed old man.
“You’re a Metaphysical Individual Immortal!” The long-browed old man was also staring at Zhou Bao, with a strange light in his eyes. “It’s almost impossible for a Metaphysical Individual Immortal to have such combat capabilities!”
Zhou Bao didn’t reply. He quietly walked to a chair and sat down, as if waiting for something.
“As the Master of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, Qi Ningbi has repeatedly abused his power for personal gains, ignoring the interests of Divine Mountain, and caused a disaster. We shall remove him from the position of Mountain Master and make him an Elder. Does anyone have any objections?”
“No!”
“No!”
“No!”
“…No!”
The old man’s voice was quiet, but full of majesty. He glanced coldly at the pale middle-aged man before him and turned his eyes to Zhou Bao, “In addition, you may request anything you wish. If it is possible, we will try our best to comply with your requests!”
Everyone gasped at this big promise. As one of the biggest sects in the Three Western Regions, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain possessed exceptionally great power, and held influence throughout the Three Western Regions. The four Lords of Heaven and 28 Venerables were powerful enough to wipe out most of the influences in the Seven-deity Regions, while in the Seven-deity Regions, there were few sects as powerful as it.
Now, the true leader of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain had inexplicably given Zhou Bao this pledge in front of all the senior people. Even if they had offended Zhou Bao first, he did not need to be cajoled so deliberately. What was more, Zhou Bao had just made an attack on Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. He should be their enemy. Why make this promise to him? Was this young man so powerful?
Although his combat capabilities were formidable, he was still only a Metaphysical Individual Immortal. They did not need to fear him. After all, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain had four Lords of Heaven and a Human Immortal. He had just demonstrated his terrible attack force, but could that kind of attack force last?
There was no certainty. However, they did not dare to question him. The Long-eyebrowed Patriarch was the real decision maker, the real backbone and the real boss.
“Funny, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain doesn’t look like a sect that gives in easily. What are you trying to do?”
The offer was very tempting, but Zhou Bao was not yet arrogant enough to think a Human Immortal would be afraid of him.
Compared to an Individual Immortal or a Genuine Immortal, the Human Immortal was on a whole different level. Zhou Bao had even heard that the strength between a Human Immortal and a Lord of Heaven was an even bigger gap than the strength between a Lord of Heaven and a newborn baby.
There was no comparison at all. Moreover, there were secrets that could only be known once one reached the Human Immortal Karma Rank. Zhou Bao had not even broken through to the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, so it was impossible for him to know.
Technically, even with all his efforts, Zhou Bao could barely beat a Human Immortal. Without even releasing his Qi Power and spirit, the old man had given Zhou Bao an unfathomable impression that caused fear. When he was on his guard, the old man was so modest that Zhou Bao felt weird.
“Don’t be suspicious, King Wuyang. I made this promise partly because it is indeed our fault, and partly because I want to cooperate with you!”
“Cooperate with me?” Zhou Bao blinked, “My Wuyang Region is located in the Central Mainland Region. We can’t do business with the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain even if I wanted to. After all, the Sea Area is between us!” Zhou Bao said in a puzzled tone.
“I’d like to invite you to explore an Ancient Ruin!” The old man said bluntly. “I think you know very well that in antiquity times this macro world was the Heaven Realm. It has declined, but the myriad spaces in it remain. In antiquity times, many powerful schools and influences were built here, just like our Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. Less fortunate than us, they have declined or disappeared. But their ruins are still here, and occasionally appear in the present world. They are Ancient Ruins. These Ruins are a great opportunity for secular practitioners. However, secular practitioners are not capable enough to search and detect them. They have to wait for Ancient Ruins to appear accidentally in the occasional space-time turbulence. A practitioner at the Venerable Realm is able to actively seek these Ancient Ruins in space-time mazes. Few people have this ability. Only those who have reached the Lord of Heaven Realm can guarantee personal safety in space-time mazes and are qualified to look for treasure!”
“I am beginning to understand. But are you sure there is treasure in the Heaven Realm now? After all, it’s been years!”
“It’s not easy to get into Ancient Ruins. Even if you find one, it takes great effort to get in. Moreover, the larger and more valuable an Ancient Ruin, the more powerful its curtailment is and the more elusive it is. It’s hard to break though. Since the end of antiquity times, generations of predecessors have discovered and excavated many Hidden Treasures. But there are six Ancient Treasure Ruins in this macro world that have not been discovered for tens of thousands of years that have never been broken. My goal is, with a group of friends. to go after the Hidden Treasure. Are you interested King Wuyang?”
Zhou Bao’s eyes gleamed. He gazed at the old man for quite some time, but finally shook his head. “I’m not that ambitious, and I’m not interested in the Ancient Ruins Treasures. Forget about your second pact. As long as your Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you. I’m going to leave now!”
He saluted the old man. The space around him fluctuated and he vanished into thin air. The four Lords of Heaven in the hall were unable to stop him. And all the barriers of the vast Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain were virtually useless against him.
“Patriarch, that guy is too arrogant!” Qi Ningbi sprang to his feet and growled in a low voice.
“That’s enough. From now on, Jin Gu will be the Mountain Master. All, go down!” Long-eyebrowed Patriarch waved his hand at them, keeping an impassive face. The four Lords of Heaven and 28 Venerables gave him a salute and left with changed expressions.
