To deal with a man who posed as a threat to Divine Wind Palace, the best method would be to destroy him mentally as well as physically.
It was not the first time that Divine Wind Palace had to do this kind of thing. They had done this many times already!
Zhou Bao’s rising fame was believed to be quite unusual. At first, Zhou Bao did not catch the attention of Yu Taixu. But by the time that he took notice of Zhou Bao, Yu Taixu found that he might not be able to tame this guy without first having to pay a great price. Then, when Yu Taixu finally made up his mind to get rid of him with his own Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device, he belatedly realized that he could not get rid of him at all. This fact made him feel very depressed and dispirited. Now that Zhou Bao’s strength had grown to such a high level, he had no choice but to stop his secret actions and lie low. After all, how could one continue an operation when he knew it was bound to fail?
This was not Yu Taixu’s usual style.
“How lucky Immortal Palace is! They’ve found such a strong hatchet man, who has even reached the Mysterious Realm. It seems that over the next few hundred years, there will be nothing for Immortal Palace to worry about. Plus, if this kid really survives the Void Thunder Tribulation and achieves the Genuine Immortal Karma Rank, hehe, perhaps Immortal Palace will become an upstart in the Seven-deity Regions!”
Staring at the majestic-looking Zhou Bao, the crowd exclaimed inwardly. In this world, frankly speaking, strength was everything. The strength Zhou Bao demonstrated was convincing and intimidating, and that was enough. Moreover, they also hoped that Zhou Bao would challenge the supremacy of Divine Wind Palace. That would be great news for the rest of the Four Great Sects, truly great news. In particular, for Grandma Loulan, who was even considering letting Ji Yeyue get close to Zhou Bao so that maybe after while she could marry him, uniting Zhou Bao with them and becoming one family.
Of course, she was merely considering this. Grandma Loulan had no intention of bartering off her female disciple. Ji Yeyue was highly talented, and had been one of the best among all the disciples for the past thousand years. It was because of the appearance of such an abnormal being like Zhou Bao that Ji Yeyue seemed a bit inferior in terms of skill. Otherwise, the No.1 prodigy, whom the entire practitioner realm was now talking about, would have been Ji Yeyue.
Time passed slowly as everyone, immersed in their own thoughts, watched Zhou Bao’s fabulous performance outside the warship. Three hours later, the Golden Embroidered Warship finally recovered. After the seven-color brilliance started to shine again, Zhou Bao went back inside the warship.
“Alright. Now we can do hollow travels. Although those stones are not so hard to deal with, there are still too many of them. They’re coming at us ceaselessly!” Zhou Bao complained. Seeing his sulky face, all the rest laughed.
“King Wuyang must be the only one who finds those stones easy to fend off. If I were you, even if I exert all my efforts, I would not have done such a great job!” A Venerable chuckled, obviously trying to butter up Zhou Bao.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Just at the moment when Zhou Bao appeared on the warship, dozens of meteorites relentlessly bumped into the warship again. The seven-color light flashed and resisted the huge impact caused by the collisions. Yu Taixuan was concerned about their safety, so he immediately turned on the hollow travel function of the warship and they took off from the space-time.
“Boom!”
Shortly after they crossed this space-time, a loud crack could be heard. Suddenly the warship started vibrating again. This time, she vibrated even more strongly than the last time when they were within the space-time torrents. This time round, the Highest Heaven Space inside the warship was also affected.
“Hey, what the hell? What is the problem with this ship?” Zhou Bao suddenly screamed at the top of his voice. “Divine Wind Palace is the leader of the five biggest sects. You should not try to deceive us!”
Yu Taixu stood up all at once, a wisp of Green Qi flitting across his face. He shot Zhou Bao a fierce look, and then, surprisingly, he forcefully suppressed his rage and said, “Since we were carried into the space-time torrents, we’ve already been lost in the infinite space-time of the Heaven Realm. Now, we are basically caught up in a space-time maze. If we want to find the exit, it will take some time. This is not some regular place. This is a Space-time Vortex formed by space-time torrents and space-time storms. Thus, it’s more troublesome than before. But don’t worry, we will soon travel out of this vortex!”
It was easy to explain what a Space-time Vortex was, but when you were actually experiencing it, it was quite terrifying. Even though those on the warship who were either Lords of Heaven or Venerables, could not help but feel frightened when they saw this work of nature.
It was a huge black vortex which extended as far as 10,000 miles and whirled around slowly.
The Golden Embroidered Warship which measured about a few feet in length, looked like a dead leaf in this vortex, arduously bobbing about among the enormous space-time fluctuations. Facing the odd but powerful space-time distortion force, the warship kept surging up and down. Everyone on the warship was very concerned, for it felt like one vibration could break this warship into pieces.
“Rumble!”
All of a sudden, another deafening sound floated into the ears of the crowd. As they looked up, amazingly, they saw that from the very bottom, within the depths and the surroundings of this vortex that stretched to 10,000 miles, milk-white smoke had slowly started amassing. The smoke flowed out continuously and before they knew it, the next thing that squirted from this vortex was no longer milk-white smoke, but real liquid.
“Pure Jade Liquid, it’s Pure Jade Liquid!” At the initial glimpse of the milk-white smoke, the crowd did not sense anything at first. But suddenly, as if realizing something, Yuan Tiangang from Dragon Thunder Palace let out a shocked cry, which really startled the others.
Pure Jade Liquid!
How could that be possible! How could there be so much Pure Jade Liquid!
All the Lords of Heaven and Venerables on the warship were totally taken by surprise.
The Pure Jade Liquid, a rare Mysterious Object in the world, was technically a kind of pneuma between heaven and earth. But this was not any ordinary pneuma. It could only be bred in certain extremely uncommon areas, so it was a precious treasure, whose function was similar to the Flickering Light Evil Qi. They were both pneumas with Spatial Attribute, but the power of the Pure Jade Liquid was much stronger than that of the Flickering Light Evil Qi. The latter could assist Zhou Bao in practicing the Three Realms Division, whereas, it would not suffice if Zhou Bao wanted to practice the Infinite Realms Teleportation. At present, Zhou Bao merely comprehended a few principles of the Infinite Realms Teleportation and was able to utilize his teleportation skills in one macro world or among several adjacent micro worlds. This achievement neither depended on how skillful his technique was, nor how wonderful the Flickering Light Evil Qi was. Instead, it was purely attributed to the great improvement in his understanding of space knowledge. Meanwhile, thanks to his huge strength, Zhou Bao could do long-distance hollow travels and tear space up simply by using his own power.
However, if he could attain the Pure Jade Liquid, the whole thing would be different—he would be able to travel across spaces without difficulty and deepen his understanding of the Law of Space with the aid of the special properties of the Pure Jade Liquid. In the end, he could even work out one of the 3,000 Great Ways—the Great Way of Heavens and Realms—by backward induction.
The Great Way of Heavens and Realms was one of the most basic ways in the 3,000 Great Ways, serving as a fundamental way of the rest of the Great Ways. If he could figure out how to use it, it would have a profound impact on Zhou Bao’s future development. When he survived his sixth Thunder Tribulation and reached the Lord of Heaven phase, Zhou Bao might even employ his understanding of the Dharma to infuse an entire macro world into his Self-world and reset the earth fire and the wind fire.
Of course, these were merely wishful thinking; it was the ideal state to be in. After all, infusing a macro world with a cultivation in the Ghost Immortal Real was just a glorious legend. From antiquity times till now, no one had ever heard of any deed like this being done.
Well, we are straying from the subject. But no matter what, the Pure Jade Liquid surging out of that enormous vortex was indeed a precious commodity, which could even not be found in the Seven-deity Regions at all. Even in the endless Sea Area, the Pure Jade Liquid was still very rare. But in this vortex, it seemed that the Pure Jade Liquid was as common and cheap as cabbages, you could easily scoop large quantities anywhere.
Finally, someone could not resist the temptation. A Venerable from Dragon Thunder Palace suddenly shook his body, and a faint yellow halo appeared around him instantly. With one leap, he crossed the Highest Heaven Space inside the Golden Embroidered Warship and appeared outside. He was holding a jade bottle in one hand. After touching the bottleneck, a layer of yellow light shone and threw itself at the nearby Pure Jade Liquid. The moment the Pure Jade Liquid connected with that yellow light, a bit of it got corroded, and then was completely absorbed into the jade bottle. Everyone who was watching felt a bit envious.
After watching this, more people were about to do the same thing. But very soon, they sensed that something was wrong.
Except for the Venerable who had leapt out recklessly, none of the other guys with the highest cultivation moved at all, and they were all looking at that Venerable as if they were watching a dead man. Even Yuan Tiangang, the Lord of Heaven from Dragon Thunder Palace, had a trace of sneer on his inscrutable face. That guy was one of the Highest Elders of the Dragon Thunder Palace, but he was so weak when facing temptations that he literally hurtled out without telling anyone. That little jade bottle was meant for collecting treasures in Dragon Thunder Palace; instead he was using it to collect the Pure Jade Liquid for himself. Furthermore, how could it be so easy to collect the Pure Jade Liquid? If so, those Lords of Heaven who were present would have rushed out already. How could he, a Venerable, get the chance?
Suddenly, just when that Venerable was happily collecting the almost inexhaustible Pure Jade Liquid, the already liquidized Pure Jade Liquid finally crept near him.
“Er…What’s going on?”
Before he realized what was happening, the Pure Jade Liquid already covered his entire body. In the blink of an eye, his body was cut into chunks. A Genuine Immortal in the Venerable Realm had just been dismembered by this seemingly pure white Pure Jade Liquid.
The already liquidized Pure Jade Liquid has another name—the Jade Saber, which is one of the sharpest substance in the world. For it, cutting space was as easy as cutting through a chunk of tofu. Even if a Lord of Heaven had solidified his self-world, he would not have been able to defend himself against the sharp Jade Saber. How daring this guy was! Even jumped directly into it!” Staring at the Venerable who had been hacked into pieces, a mocking smile flitted across the face of Hierarch Huan Ri.
