“So, for a macro world, endless spacetime is actually the biggest guarantee!”
“Yes, exactly. The Fairy Weapon of Fate is the core controlling the endless spacetime of the macro worlds. Controlling the Fairy Weapon of Fate is akin to controlling the boundless changes of the endless spacetime. It is even possible to make the spacetime create one micro world after another, each with its own distinctive characteristics. In primitive times, some Fate Creators even took advantage of these characteristics to divide one macro world into a million individual micro worlds. All that remained were tiny interconnected passageways, just like a kaleidoscope!”
“Is it okay to do that?”
“It’s not a case of being ‘okay’ or not, everyone has their own ideas, just take the Fate Creator!” Fate Creation Boy smiled slightly. Having obtained the Immortal-burying Pool, he had visibly regained the self-confidence he had before, and appeared to be much more satisfied. “Now that I have obtained the Immortal-burying Pool, it’s time to take back the Golden Book of Fate!”
“Do you not need my help for that?”
“No, I don’t!”, the Fate Creation Boy said, laughing. “I don’t need your help with everything! But, I’m afraid I will need you to help with the Ranking of Demons and Immortals situation.”
“You know, I don’t want to have any dealings with the Vast Sea Emperor!” Zhou Bao looked at the Fate Creation Boy again. “Furthermore, I think that after getting the two parts of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, getting the Ranking of Demons and Immortals would be no trouble at all for you, even if the Vast Sea Emperor should be prejudiced against you!”
“You’re right. I’ve got the two parts of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, and I will master the rights to control the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Even if the Vast Sea Emperor is stronger, and I must admit that he is, I can still successfully get hold of the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. But there will be a lot of problems with that!”
“What kind of problems?”
“My relationship with the Vast Sea Emperor will deteriorate, and as far as I’m concerned, that is not a good thing! If a Fate Creator and an Earthly Immortal should fall out, it is often the Fate Creator who eventually loses out!”
“I don’t want to have anything to do with the Vast Sea Emperor. You know this very well!”
“Yes, I understand, but I don’t think the Vast Sea Emperor would be prejudiced against you. He could even offer you some advantages. For him, the Ranking of Demons and Immortals is of no value, you just need to promise that after reassembling the Fairy Weapon of Fate, the structure of the Heaven Realm World will not change a bit. It will stay as it was before, and everything will be fine!”
“Why would he want to help me?”
“Why would I want to help you?” Fate Creation Boy gave a mysterious smile. “Old guys like us are somewhat restricted, especially ancient entities such as Earthly Immortals. There are some things which you should not intervene and there are some things which you cannot intervene. Sometimes intervention is out of the question!”
“What you are saying is that he has something he wants me to help him with?”
“That’s right. He certainly wants your help, maybe he hopes you can get him out of trouble!” The Fate Creation Boy smiled. “Also, I think you need him, too!”
“What do you mean?”
“Although your current combat capability is incredibly strong, you are still only in the realm of Human Immortal, and you are just starting to enter this realm. You need to know that the Human Immortal phase has a total of nine stages. You are at the first stage, having just entered the phase. The remaining eight stages can each be summarised in one word. Three stages involve Gatherings of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint, and five stages involve Collecting Qis in Mind. In each stage of this phase, the strength and comprehension of the phase is different. The strength of each stage is relative to that of the last, and the chasm between each stage is difficult to cross.” He gave Zhou Bao a strange look. “Of course, for this you have the Supreme Fairy Weapon and the Zhuyan bloodline. According to the Icy Divine Light guys, crossing this chasm is not difficult, but having more strength is always a good thing, right?”
“The Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint, the Five Qis Collecting in Mind, what are all these?”
“For the first one, its simply these three flowers: Essence, Qi, and Spirit. The Five Qis are your Five Qis in the Chest. For this, you have a huge advantage over other human immortals, because you can understand the Seven Wonderful Techniques. These Seven Wonderful Techniques are very mysterious, particularly the Immortal Body Techniques, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill and the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill which correspond to the flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit accordingly. If you can master the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, then you can absorb the essence of the Three Flowers in the shortest time. Then they can coalesce into the Three Flowers above the Head within a brief period. Once the Three Flowers above the Head are formed, haha, that is equivalent to having three more lives!”
“And the Five Qis in the Chest?”
“Five Qis in the Chest relate to the comprehension of the depths of the soul. It is an important hurdle for practitioners. If you don’t have enough time to accumulate it, then you won’t be able to comprehend it. I need not explain this to you!” The Fate Creation Boy looked slightly embarrassed. “I am not a human practitioner, so I’m not completely sure of the specifics of the Five Qis in the Chest. All I know is, every practitioner that can cultivate the Five Qis in the Chest can forge a telepathic connection with strong Dharma on an entire macro world. This means you can use a part of that macro world’s Dharma. When you use this Darma, I cannot block it, at best I can only weaken it!”
“Are you sure that the Vast Sea Emperor has the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill?”
“Of course, the Vast Sea Emperor has mastered the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill!” Fate Creation Boy continued, “Of course, he is using the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, and the Immortal Body Technique to achieve the Three Flowers above the Head. The Seven Wonderful Techniques has historically not been reliable, and no one has been able to combine all seven techniques into a whole. In antiquity times, the mighty of primitive times, and the best of the experts seemed to have tried their best to prevent it from occurring. So, young fellow, you’d better be careful. You have already mastered four of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, and if you obtain the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill you will have mastered five. Whatever the reason, you should not let anyone know you have these skills. If you do have to use it, then you need to kill the one who has seen it. You must keep it secret, just like you did with the Fiery Eyes!”
“I understand, thank you for warning me about this!” Hearing what he had to say, Zhou Bao was a little surprised. These Seven Wonderful Techniques were certainly very strange. When he was in combat with the Fairy Pool Hunter, the cyan light appeared suddenly and nothing could stop him. With one stroke of the cyan light, the Power of Fate could be shattered. There was no chance for resistance. The strangest thing was that he had discovered that in the dantian where his qi resides, something odd had happened.
It involved practice in the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints. There were nine acupoints, which were nine dantians. The nine dantians moved slightly to surround one spot in a mysterious array. They then lined up to form a perfectly huge dantian in his body.
All this while, even though it had seemed to be a huge dantian, it had the characteristics of a normal dantian. But when he was fighting the Fairy Pool Hunter, he found that as he was frantically employing the Seven Wonderful Techniques, this huge dantian had formed. This dantian was like a huge ocean of Dharma power, with a Mysterious Icy Divine Light rippling inside it. But his Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints seemed to fuse together and evolve, connecting the tendons and meridians in his body, and it was then that their connection to the huge dantian became even clearer. They interacted distantly, forming seven clear estuaries, and in the center of this Dharma ocean grew a small, jade-green soft shoot.
Yes, a small, jade-green soft shoot. Or at least it looked like it in Zhou Bao’s Inner Vision. Of course, it was not quite so simple; this small, jade-green soft shoot could be seen on the surface of the Dharma ocean, but underneath the surface of the jade-green ocean, this soft shoot had grown innumerable roots, densely packed and it anchored itself in the depths of this huge dantian. Finally, they fused into his tendons and meridians. This small, soft shoot had four leaves which evoked a very familiar feeling in Zhou Bao.
He was feeling the fourth of the Seven Wonderful Techniques!
Zhou Bao’s intuition was not wrong, it was definitely one of the Seven Wonderful Techniques.
Zhou Bao was not clear about the reason, but he understood that this change was good for him. He could foresee that after the advanced level of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, this shoot would sprout seven leaves, or rather, seven branches, just like…
“The Tree of Seven Wonders!”
This name has popped into Zhou Bao’s mind only at this moment. In legends from the novels in his previous life, there were certain objects the mighty ones used. Could these have arisen from within his own dantian?
Pondering about the Tree of Seven Wonders, he thought of something else. The Flipping Sky Seal!
Like the Seven Wonderful Techniques, the Flipping Sky Seal was a secret skill he had. It was similar because he had practiced this secret skill until the Advanced Level of the phase, and it had already coalesced into a real entity. Its power would develop alongside his own power, growing stronger step by step. And now, its attack and killing forces far exceeded that of an ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device, and was close to that of a fairy weapon. If he used it to its full capacity, its destructive force could even exceed that of a fairy weapon.
“Maybe this secret skill is the way to refine pure pneuma into a magic weapon?”
It was only a vague idea that he had and the specifics were a mystery. He was not willing to investigate further, nor did he want to. He was not like one of the necromancers of old, whose researches often produced terrifying and astonishing results.
“Is really possible to get hold of the Vast Sea Emperor’s Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill and obtain its way of practice? Is it reliable?” Zhou Bao contemplated on this and suddenly lifted his head. “The Vast Sea Emperor is one of the 99 Emperors of antiquity, why would he be trapped? How could he be so certain I can help him?” “When he was trapped, the Fairy Weapon of Fate had already been separated into three parts, and I was forced to lie low for a short time. What was the reason for his being trapped there? I’ve already made a bet on the answer to this second question, it was like I made a bet on you. Could I have had a big win?” “It does not matter whether you can help him out of his situation; what matters is whether he thinks you can help him. If he thinks it’s possible, then everything is fine. But I think he has the same thoughts as I have.
“Why?”
“You are a variable. Old guys like us are bound by rules for countless years, and the things we like most are variables! Variables represent opportunities, they represent lucky chances!”
