Chapter 344: Hypothesis About the Graveyard

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Taihai Sage Wen Yida, whose cultivation had reached the Realm of True Immortality, was a wise person, so he had an easy attitude toward gains and losses. In particular, at the last moment, if Zhou Bao had not appeared in time and interrupted that person’s trick, he would have been severely wounded even if he did not die. For a Genuine Immortal like him, both the grand plans and the profits of the school were less important than his life. Therefore, the plan that the Divine Wind Palace had been preparing for a thousand years regrettably failed, and that was not as important as his life. From this perspective, he owed Zhou Bao a great favor. He was a Genuine Immortal, a sensible Genuine Immortal.

A Genuine Immortal who was outside the three realms and the five elements and had experienced the Thunder Tribulation was called a Sage.

How could such a person easily owe a favor to others? It was an accident this time. He felt surprised and helpless. Anyway, Zhou Bao had saved him, therefore, his voice was feeble but sincere.

The green rain of light gradually disappeared and the surroundings were restored to their previous calm state. Dozens of lights rotated and slowly converged toward the center.

“Wen Yida, you’re a bastard. Your Divine Wind Palace openly betrayed the Thousand Year Promise and used Fairy Weapons in Taiyuan Heaven. You took this opportunity to cruelly kill the dissidents. You’ll pay for that. Our Sea Area will never give in!” Lei sharply cried. He had already recovered from his injury. Half of the experts from the Sea Area, including his friends and enemies, had died. The Sea Area experts gave equal treatment to the Seven-deity Regions. Wen Yida had a higher cultivation and could easily kill them. Had it not been for this reason, they would have fought against him.

Wen Yida did not respond to Lei’s words but just laughed grimly upon seeing the Sea Area experts leaving angrily.

By contrast, the experts of the Seven-deity Regions had suffered a great loss during the outbreak of the Fairy Weapons at that time. But they did not have the courage or qualification to complain in the face of a Genuine Immortal from the Divine Wind Palace.

Wen Yida turned his eyes and showed a bitter smile when he saw Zhou Bao reluctantly flying toward him. This cunning person unwittingly became the one who had gained the most. The Divine Wind Palace made a long and full preparation. But, unexpectedly, it was the others who benefited. What else could he say?

He could only say that things in this world happened coincidentally.

“I’m Zhou Bao from Yunzhou. Please accept my respect for you!” Standing before Wen Yida, Zhou Bao unwillingly saluted with his hands clasped in front. “I wish you a long life and blessings!”

“What a foxy guy!” Wen Yida thought.

Hearing Zhou Bao’s seemingly flattering words, he thought of the inexplicable: “Punish you on behalf of the moon”. He suddenly felt that he could not make out what was on Zhou Bao’s mind.

“As I said, now I owe you a big favor. Well, what do you want?”

“I want nothing. The gathering in Taiyuan Heaven occurs once every thousand years. I’ve been expecting it for a long time. We didn’t have a smooth start, but we still have to stay for a long time in Taiyuan Heaven. So, I think if the Divine Wind Palace has no other purposes, let’s follow the agreed-upon rules. This area belongs to our Jin dynasty. So, many people come here, which makes me really terrified!” Zhou Bao laughed.

“You don’t need to sneer at me implicitly. However, what you said is also correct. The gathering in Taiyuan Heaven only happens once in a thousand years. Well then, as you said, everything should proceed based on the agreement. I don’t think anyone would oppose it!”

Meanwhile, his eyes swept over the surroundings. “I assure all of you, from now on the Divine Wind Palace won’t break the agreements. And about everything that happened here, our Divine Wind Palace will give you a reasonable and satisfied reply after we’re out of here. What do you think?”

“Now that Taihai Sage put it this way, we’ll comply,” said Great Dark Lord Du. He took a deep look at Zhou Bao, folded his hands, and quietly left with his subordinates.

The rest of them also did not dare to utter a single word and left one by one.

“Taihai Sage, if there’s nothing further, I also have to go now,” Zhou Bao said.

“OK.” Taihai Sage nodded. An azure light flashed over his body and covered Emissary Chang and the man in gold. They vanished in an instant as the azure light headed due north.

Now, only Zhou Bao, Wang She, and Mo Yinyang still remained there.

After a moment’s silence, Zhou Bao suddenly raised head and asked them, “What do you two think? Do you have a plan?”

“You gained all the profits. What the hell plans could we have?” Wang She took a look at him, standing in between them. Only the precipice of hundreds of ten feet high lonely suspended in the air and was conspicuous, like being sliced by the sword.

“Come on, Chief Wang. The copy of the Golden Book of Fate is missing. Even Taihai Sage has already left. It doesn’t make sense to do it anymore unless we wait another 1,000 years and let the Divine Wind Palace make a copy again!”

“Yes. This time the Divine Wind Palace really brought shame upon themselves. They’ll be upset!” Wang She also gave a nod. “It’s alright now here, so you can leave!” Casting a glance at Zhou Bao, he showed a meaningful expression as he spoke. “Buddy, good job. Are you sure you want to act by yourself? Ye Qingtian and the other two people are still in Taiyuan Heaven!”

“I know. But you know my strength. Although I don’t have the ability to beat them, I believe that they can’t track me if I hide!”

“Em… it sounds reasonable. If too many people stay here, it will be noticeable and even worse!” Wang She nodded, turned into a vivid red light, and left without saying anything more.

Mo Yinyang and Zhou Bao had nothing to say, so they just nodded to him and also departed.

“Hehe, boy. I have to admit that you did an excellent job this time. But you’re Ye Qingtian’s enemy now!”

“Because of the appearance of an expert possessing the Fiery Eyes, after this gathering in Taiyuan Heaven, the Divine Wind Palace, no, the entire Seven-deity Regions will watch the fun. I’ll also take this opportunity to see if I can find out some ways to solve the problems!”

“Strength, only strength is the key. But don’t focus on the Lunar Shuttle. It’s not the time to refine that. And about Taiyuan Heaven, I have a little bit of knowledge. Perhaps this time we’ll have a windfall!”

“You know about it? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Why should I have told you earlier?” Green Spirit laughed. “I didn’t intend to tell you at all, but now I have to. Boy, keep in mind you offended Ye Qingtian’s people and they haven’t left yet. Ye Qingtian got severely hurt and so did the guy who used the Lunar Shuttle. And we’re in Taiyuan Heaven. It’s filled with sufficient essence of the world and endless treasures of heaven and earth. In addition to their cultivation and strength, and Ye Qingtian in particular, they’re also equipped with Fairy Weapons. You need to stay here for a long time. Besides, the Divine Wind Palace’s plan failed this time. They have a Genuine Immortal incarnation and a Fairy Weapon. Hence, Ye Qingtian surely won’t cause the Divine Wind Palace trouble. Even a fool knows to bully the weak and fear the strong. Do you think you’ll be safe in Taiyuan Heaven?”

“What does all that have to do with your knowledge of Taiyuan Heaven?”

“They’re connected of course. I know a place that is good for escaping from a chase. It’s full of opportunities but it’s dangerous inside. To go or not to go is up to you!”

“Since you’ve mentioned it, it must not be a good place. I have the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. If I really wanted to hide somewhere, they could not find me!”

“Don’t bet on it! You possess the Fiery Eyes, so you should know about their wonderful functions. The Snake-like Breath Holding Skill can only conceal your spirit, not your body. However, his control of the Fiery Eyes has already reached the perfect level. Perhaps he has the ability of a ‘thousand-mile beam’. Do you know the meaning of a ‘thousand-mile beam’? It means that nothing within a thousand miles can hide from his eyes. I’m not sure whether or not he has that ability, but if he does, then you can’t hide at all.”

“So…”

“So, my advice would be that you’d better think it over. You don’t have much time. In the damned Taiyuan Heaven, it is not difficult for them if they want to recover and it won’t take them much time!”

“I don’t need to think it over. Let’s go to the hellish place you mentioned!” Zhou Bao sighed helplessly. “That damned Taihai Sage, he said that he owed me a favor. Maybe he wants me to be discovered and killed so he won’t have to return the favor!”

“Those Genuine Immortal guys won’t die. With their eyes rolling, many tricks and plots pop up from their minds. What they hate most is to owe favors to others. If they can use Ye Qingtian to trap you in Taiyuan Heaven, it couldn’t be better.”

“So, like I said, those Divine Wind Palace guys are assholes!” Zhou Bao angrily scolded and left as his body spun around.

…

…

Three days later, Zhou Bao emerged at a marvelous place in Taiyuan Heaven.

It was also a land that was suspending in the air. It was not a big land, with an area of just a few thousand miles. But like the other places in Taiyuan Heaven, it was abundant in Spiritual Qi and had exotic flowers, rare herbs, as well as strange birds and peculiar animals everywhere. And a strong spirit of evil beasts vaguely emanated.

“There are at least five powerful evil beasts whose combat capabilities are not lower than the Mysterious Realm. I don’t want to provoke them. Are you sure this is the place that we should come to?”

“Of course, this is it. Although it’s changed, I still remember it!”

“You remember? What do you mean ‘you remember it’? Didn’t you say that you’ve never been to Taiyuan Heaven?”

“Yeah, I did. I’ve never been to Taiyuan Heaven. But I’ve seen a picture of it. That picture, which was another contribution made by the necromancers, could record the places where the necromancers had been to and then reproduce it. It’s a little thing. I do know a necromancer and we have a good relationship. He once came here and made some surveys. But that guy is lunatic, he mainly researches the legacy and history from the primitive times and even the Primordial Origin times. He has an interesting hypothesis about Taiyuan Heaven, but it’s never been proven!”

“What hypothesis?”

“You’ll know soon.” Green Spirit said with a smile, “Now you have three Pure Yang Celestial Devices at hand. You don’t need to fear anything at all!”

“Three? Humph. Only two. I don’t dare to use the Lunar Shuttle. If I take it out, probably it would be felt by those three guys,” Zhou Bao said unhappily. This time he obtained a Pure Yang Celestial Device, which was a gain for him. However, it would bring him endless trouble. Even if he could flee from Taiyuan Heaven, he would be caught in big trouble, provided that those three people purposefully wanted to get revenge. Particularly, that excessively black-clothed thin person easily snatched his Pure Yang Celestial Device because he was weak when meeting him. At that time, he had already dedicated himself to using his Pure Yang Celestial Device to raid Taihai Sage Wen Yida.

A Genuine Immortal and a Fairy Weapon!

This black-clothed man only had a Level Nine cultivation, but he could do it with just a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Wen Yida did not suffer a substantial loss but he was disgraced. The person who had the Fiery Eyes seized the chance and almost successfully fought back.

Finally, due to Zhou Bao’s sudden attack, he failed. However, he, together with Ye Qingtian, escaped. Thinking of the black line that abruptly appeared, Zhou Bao believed that he could not do it.

Zhou Bao had stolen his Pure Yang Celestial Device when he was weak. How could he easily let him off? Once they left Taiyuan Heaven, he would give him trouble. Even if Zhou Bao was not scared, a Level Nine expert would drive Zhou Bao crazy when he recklessly and deliberately made disturbances. After all, this he had a big family and a great business now.

At the thought of this, Zhou Bao felt uncomfortable. “Green Spirit, we need some way to kill that black-clothed man. Otherwise, my future trouble is boundless!”

“What are you afraid of? Based on what happened today, as long as they leave Taiyuan Heaven, Ye Qingtian and the other two people will undoubtedly be hunted by the whole world like mice in a sewer. It will even be too late for them to escape. How could they give you trouble?”

“I don’t fear Ye Qingtian and the person who has the Fiery Eyes, but that black-clothed man is different. Nobody knows his identity or background. Even though the Divine Wind Palace is very capable, it’s hard for them to hunt for an unidentified person. If he comes to my territory to provoke trouble, it will really be an annoying problem!”

“Buddy, it’s useless to regret it now,” said Green Spirit. “Leave it alone. Let’s go, we’d better pass through the barrier of Taiyuan Heaven. If you’re killed here, even God can’t help us!”

“Yes, God can’t help us. Look at what you did!” Zhou Bao muttered and slowly went toward the remote floating land according to Green Spirit’s guidance.

“This Taiyuan Heaven is indeed a sanctum. It has everything you want!” During his several days here, Zhou Bao had a big harvest every day and was able to quickly collect all the materials used for practicing the Air-frozen Bead and enough elements for elixirs. Besides, precious things could be seen everywhere, such as strange materials, crystals, Spiritual Stones, medicinal herbs, even the 10,000-year-old immortal fleece-flower roots, ganoderma, and ginseng. At first, Zhou Bao was very excited when seeing them but he became complacent later.

“The legends about the antiquity times are true and so believable! Somebody produced a treasure of heaven and earth by a foot. Magic Drugs are here and there. Is this what the situation is in Taiyuan Heaven? No wonder the Divine Wind Palace deliberately plans to possess this place. If they occupy this big treasure of Taiyuan Heaven, then their strength will grow sharply. Even if the other influences are powerful, they’ll be forced to accept an inferior position!”

“Hehe. You get excited easily about commonplace things. All of the 33 Heavens are treasures. And the 33 emperors who control the 33 Heavens are top players and possess the most powerful strength and influence. If the Divine Wind Palace gains domination over Taiyuan Heaven, their dream to renew Jade Emperor will maybe come true. Unfortunately, they failed this time, so they’ll have to wait another 1,000 years!”

“1,000 years? Humph. Their purpose has come to light. Do you think that the other influences will allow them to do that again?” Zhou Bao gave a brittle laugh. Suddenly, his expression changed and he curiously asked, “What’s that?”

At this time, he had already sneaked around for three days and harvested a lot of treasures of heaven and earth under Green Spirit’s guidance. He also got into some trouble. However, by using the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, the trouble was not very dangerous to him. Moreover, he had opportunities to kill several evil beasts with high combat levels and obtain their elixir by peeling off their furs and splitting their bones. The methods were outrageous—even Green Spirit could not bear it even though he was a thousand-year-old Demon. Anyway, they were the evil species. Although there were different types, they still had a relationship. Zhou Bao’s unscrupulous acts made Green Spirit extremely unhappy, so he shouted and Zhou Bao restrained himself. Another reason was that his two-boundary-separated space was almost full.

“That’s the place I’m looking for!” He was looking at a quirky mist-shrouded place.

Yes, quirky. It was very weird!

It was an area with a 100-foot radius and was heavily fogged. The fog was black and gave off a death spirit.

But it was different from the death spirit that Zhou Bao had once felt. This eccentric death spirit was very peaceful and serene, giving people a feeling that their hearts were calm like still water.

Indeed, standing before the black fog, Zhou Bao involuntarily had a feeling that his heart was as still as water, as if nothing in this world was worthy of his affection or worth surviving for or could evoke his expectations of living.

In an instant, Zhou Bao even had an impulse to cut his own throat. Simultaneously, the Demonic Fire Internal Qi inside his body began to move, adjusting to his thoughts. The fierce Demonic Fire began to disorderly and erratically move through his veins. Several wisps of Demonic Fires started to forcibly impact a mystical point between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows. It seemed that they were refining acupoints. In such a situation in this place, refining acupoints was simply equal to committing suicide.

“Hey guy, wake up! Even if you want to commit suicide, it’s not the right time now!” Feeling the unusual movements of the Demonic Fire Internal Qi inside of Zhou Bao’s body, Green Spirit immediately yelled at him. A strong psywave turned into an invisible needle, deeply stabbing Zhou Bao’s spirit.

Zhou Bao suddenly trembled and became clear-headed.

After he had been re-awakened, he felt that something was wrong. The Internal Qi of his entire body moved in disorder. A powerful Demonic Fire Internal Qi had already gathered between his eyebrows—He was going to refine acupoints.

“Sh*t. Damn it!” Zhou Bao cursed and forced himself to disperse the Internal Qi between his eyebrows. His brain, like abruptly being beaten with a stick, felt a roar. If he had not had a strong spirit because of practicing the Carefree Skill and experienced the purification, he would have been done.

“Pfft—!”

Although this did not cause danger to his life, disorderly movement of his Internal Qi had a severe effect. Zhou Bao spat out blood and fell into a prostrating position.

“What’s the matter? Why is the fog so eccentric?” Zhou Bao shouted strangely.

“I told you that you need to be careful. Did you think I brought you to a place which is full of treasures? The fog is very odd here. Even the Taiyuan Heaven master and my necromancer friend failed to make it clear. But they have a hypothesis!”

“Hypothesis? What hypothesis?”

“That it’s a legendary graveyard to an Innate Deity or a Primordial Demon!”

“An Innate Deity or a Primordial Demon’s graveyard?” Zhou Bao became dazed for a second. His heart disappointingly beat. “What did you say? An Innate Deity or a Primordial Demon’s graveyard? Do they die? Were they buried after death?”

If Green Spirit had a body, he would have rolled his eyes at Zhou Bao and kicked him to death.

“You fool. Primordial Divine Demons die, of course. Otherwise, wouldn’t the world be under their control?” Green Spirit said. “Innate Deities and Primordial Demons never showed up even in the antiquity times. Nobody knows whether they died or disappeared or broke the hollows of another world. However, one thing you can be sure of is those guys can really die. In the antiquity times, we once discovered several graveyards!” he added.

“What’s in the graveyards?”

“The Innate Deities’ and Primordial Demons’ remains. If somebody is lucky, he could get their Natal Magic Weapons!”

“Natal Magic Weapons? At what level?”

“Fairy Weapons certainly. And they’re Supreme Fairy Weapons!” Green Spirit dismissively said.

“Supreme Fairy Weapons?” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao became excited. “What are we waiting for? Hurry up!”
