Chapter 316: Divine Sense of Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds and Assassin (2/2)
”He adopted a wrong method, so he didn't have a real mastery of the fairy weapon. Otherwise, you would have been dead long before!” Green Spirit said coldly, ”His method is not suitable for you, and it will be very troublesome if you refine the fairy weapon with that approach!”
”You mean I'd better not refine it right now?”
”Before you achieve the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, not refining it is better!”
”No refining, huh, but it's so tempting to have a try!” Zhou Bao laughed.
”Boy, be patient, you are still young, way too young. The road ahead of you is very long, along with plenty of good and rare things. A piece of Heavenly Fairy Weapon is indeed quite rare and important. For that reason, you should think twice before you act. Otherwise, you will lose more than you've gained!”
Hearing this, Zhou Bao sighed. ”Well, I'll listen to you this time. By the way, do you know the so-called orthodox strength?”
”Oh, I don't know. In my era, the so-called right ways and evil ways are completely different from those of the present. Techniques are totally different as well. At that time, both right and evil ways were domineering and powerful. Not like now, all those ways take actions in secret and I don't know what they are afraid of!”
”What are they afraid of? They are afraid of being killed once they stand out!” Zhou Bao sneered. ”In these years, it's not a good thing to stand out like me!”
”Now you have to be the first bird that stands out!” Green Spirit laughed.
”I have been in great trouble since I became that kind of bird. After that case, I have already turned into a master in coming forward. When the ten guys fought against me, I could vaguely feel a person's spirit. His ability to hide his tracks is very strong, which is almost above my Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. If it was not for his shock that prevented him from holding his spirit while I was killing those experts, I wouldn't have noticed his presence!”
”Now that you noticed his existence, why don't you detain him?”
”I said that I was sick of being a little bird that came forward and now I want to be a prestigious master who stands out. The man hidden in the dark didn't reveal any killing intent, so he shouldn't be in cohoots with those ten guys, but should belong to another influence. Perhaps the few surviving persons will keep their mouths zipped, but this guy won't and will at least leak this matter to the other influences. I believe I will live a peaceful life for some time!”
”That's exactly what you want. In these few days, you'd better get a hang of Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds from meditation. Boy, I don't know what kind of fate you have. It is inexplicable that you have learned so many eccentric things!”
”Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds is indeed powerful, but it is not suitable for my approach. Nor is the 72 Style Earthly Fiends Cudgel Techniques that you taught me. My approach is this!” As he spoke, he lifted up his fists and clenched them tightly, and then, horrible and enormous Qi was released from his body. ”What I believe in most are my own fists.”
”Fists!” Green Spirit said with a faint smile, ”Yes, your biggest advantage is your fists. I believe, in this battle, you also noticed the change in your fist intent after Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints was refined. Their power is at least 10 times stronger than before!”
”So I need to make my fists more powerful, rather than understand the so-called Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds,” Zhou Bao said.
”You shouldn't say that!” Green Spirit continued with a smile, ”I have noticed that your fist intent is too powerful, even more powerful than that of the great emperors in antiquity times, who already had the most unfathomable cultivation and was specialized in punching skills. For the same reason, it's impossible for you to reach such an Advanced Level in such a short time. However, Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds is different, which is an unfathomable skill. Though I don't know who created it, I can deduce that, if you can comprehend Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, you will be able to figure out the natural Divine Sense of these nine divine birds, which is greatly beneficial to you, like the Great Fusion Technic of Evil Fire Kylin!”
”How could this happen? Why didn't I know of it before?”
”Of course you don't know. If I am not mistaken, the Great Fusion Technic should also originate from those necromancers. It's honestly much easier to study the Divine Sense of natural evil and divine beasts than skills of gods and devils in primitive times!”
”Necromancers again. These guys are annoying!” Zhou Bao said with a wry smile, ”What is the Divine Sense?”
”I have no idea about that. These nine kinds of divine birds who owns various vagarious Divine Senses have been world-famous since antiquity times, but I believe what you finally comprehend should be the strongest Divine Sense in each bird, given the consistent style of those necromancers!”
”So I actually have to figure out the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds!”
”This is only my advice!” Green Spirit smiled and then crept into the green lamp.

Great Jin, Western Capital!
In the ancient and stately Royal Capital, everyone was solemn and respectful. Eunuchs, maids and all the other servants were methodically completing the tasks that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Like a machine that would never rust or stop running, they were always working precisely and punctually, because in this place, they and even their entire clan might be beheaded if they ever made a small mistake.
Therefore, everyone here was cautious and meticulous for fear that they and their family would be killed because their negligence and carelessness annoyed the lord of all the world who lived in the center of the Royal Capital.
Hence, the atmosphere and spirits in the Royal Capital always changed along with the mood of that lord of all the world.
Today, the whole Royal Capital was in an atmosphere of upset and oppression.
Because the lord of all the world felt depressed.
Little Button, a eunuch of Princes' Study, had some power in the palace, so he usually held his head high before other eunuchs and sometimes flirted with beautiful maids. However today, he trotted, and with a straight face, quickly passed by those good-looking maids without lifting his eyes.
His behavior shocked those eunuchs and maids who were familiar with him.
”Ouch!”
Little Button who had been hurriedly walking forward with a pot in hand, ran into something and then fell to the ground. The water in the pot spilled all over the place.
”Who is it? Don't you walk with your eyes open? Haven't you seen—”
The sound abruptly stopped, as if a duck who had been making strange shrieks was suddenly held by the throat.
What knocked him down was a man in black—black like iron—exuding a cold spirit. Little Button looked at the man, shocked, with his brain in a blank.
This man, whom he had never seen in the imperial palace, should neither be a palace guard nor a secret guard, that could be judged from his attire. Being a eunuch serving in the Princes' Study, he knew some secrets of the court. However, he never felt complacent for knowing those secrets. In many cases, he even felt scared because people of his status should not know these things.
Now, the man in front of him looked like a secret guard at whom he had once glimpsed, but he was a little different from those secret guards with cold spirit, because his bleak spirit spread everywhere as if he was an iceberg.
Just now, he was in a bad mood, too frightened to notice the coldness. Now he came to himself and realized that he had already shivered with cold.
This black-clothed man was tall, in a stark contrast to his thinness and smallness.
Hearing the abuse of Little Button, he looked down and said, ”You are a eunuch of this palace?”
”Yes, yes!” Little Button said wryly, with his tooth roots slightly sour.
”So, do you know how to go to the Princes' Study?” The black-clothed man asked, his voice as unemotional as his expression.
”The-the Princes' Study?” Little Button froze for a while and then woke up to reality. Turning around, he shockingly found that in addition to him, other people were also here—eunuchs, maids and Palace Guards of the palace—but they were all lying on the floor, unconscious.
”Tell me, where is the Princes' Study?”
”In... assassin!”
Shortly after Little Button said the word ”in”, he shouted the word ”assassin” at the top of his voice. The shout was perhaps the loudest sound that he had ever made in his life and could be heard in the distance. The black-clothed man froze for a while and looked at the thin eunuch in astonishment. He did not expect that this small guy could make such a loud sound.
