Chapter 329: The Function of the Sacred Roots and the Spy (2/2)
By such a monstrous Fierce Qi, Zhou Bao could make sure that masters of martial arts below Level Seven would shake with fear and retreat when facing him, and he did not need to move even one finger to accomplish that.
”The Nine Forms of Real Dragon has disappeared, yet my Internal Qi could be changed into any shape I want with ease!” Zhou Bao was thinking of his gain and loss. After that, a dozen black fireballs appeared in front of him and flew forward swiftly, melting the wall in front of him into lava quietly. Later, the black Internal Qi changed into a lissome long black whip as if it was a living being. When it moved, it cut the wall behind Zhou Bao into chunks silently, and the cut had been totally melted by the high temperature already.
”The functions of two forms of the Nine Forms of Real Dragon have been absorbed by the Dragon Chimera, but it's a pity that I can't grasp more forms of the real dragon. Otherwise, the Dragon Chimera will greatly increase its strength after absorbing them!” Zhou Bao pondered. He looked at the Dragon Chimera's indistinct phantom in his Internal Qi with a myriad of thoughts crowding into his mind.
As for his Gang Qi—the Nine Dragons Heavenly Kylin Gang, also changed with his Internal Qi. Its color had totally turned into the black from the gold originally. Besides, the nine black dragons of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield had disappeared as well. Instead, there were nine wisps of black smoke, which formed a translucent black shield. This shield was over 10 times stronger than the Nine dragons Heavenly Fire Shield.
It could be said that through the nutriment of the Divine Qi, Zhou Bao's strength had reached a new stage and overmatched Individual Immortals at the Mysterious Realm.
His Internal Qi was no longer the common one. Its quality had exceeded the Real Essence, and it could not be called the Dharma power as well. Although it enjoyed some characteristics of the Dharma power, it could only be considered as the fake Dharma power.
His body had also been improved a lot by the Divine Qi and overmatched those common experts at the Mysterious Realm. However, he clearly knew that after turning into the fake Dharma power, his Internal Qi had become stronger, yet it still could not be called the Real Essence.
Once his Internal Qi was transformed into the Real Essence successfully with the Real Essence Source totally evolving, there must be a soaring of his strength. In other words, as long as he reached the Mysterious Realm, his strength would immediately reach the peak of the Marrow-cleansing Realm and even enabled him to become a Genuine Immortal by undergoing the Thunder Tribulation.
To the practitioners at the Mysterious Realm, their practice was to temper the Real Essence to be able to feel the change of the pneuma, to comprehend the ”Dharma power” of their Real Essence and to transform the Real Essence into the Dharma power gradually. But, to Zhou Bao, whose Real Essence had been improved by the Divine Qi, he was able to transform the Real Essence into the Dharma power directly without tempering his Real Essence patiently at all. Nevertheless, the premise was that his body must be strong enough.
In other words, the most important task for Zhou Bao was to increase his physical strength step by step, adapting his body to his future Dharma power. That was not easy.
”It seems that I still need to suppress my cultivation and to spend more time looking for those exotic medicinal herbs for refining the Pulse Setting Pills, the Blood Exchanging Pills and the Marrow Cleansing Pills. It's impossible to collect all the medicinal herbs that those pills needed in this world definitely. The Azure Secret Area is a good choice. I went there for careful checking last time. There were some precious herbs at the entrance, a few of which could match the three pills. Even if I pick all of them, I can only make a heat of Pulse Setting Pills and a half heat of the Blood Exchanging Pills. There were only several plants for the Marrow Cleansing Pills as well. Except for the entrance which is only a small island, there are some other places with those materials in the Azure Secret Area as well, but it may take me much time and energy looking for them. So many evil beasts inhabit the Azure Spirit Sea, and it won't be easy to cross it. If I really get the chance to Taiyuan Heaven this time, I should take back more herbs. Currently, I have two Pure Yang Celestial Devices and one fairy weapon, but those possessions aren't important any more and the medicinal herbs are important, instead. With those medicinal herbs, I can make the elixirs to build my body and greatly improve my strength.” Thinking of that, Zhou Bao clenched his fists. He made up his mind that by any means, he must find ways to enter Taiyuan Heaven.
After that, Zhou Bao practiced in the secret room for several days. He got free then and was going to walk out with Yan Yunfei. Suddenly, Jiang Xiao reported that the Princess Heyang came.
Hearing that, Zhou Bao was slightly surprised. As far as he knew, the Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan's relation with the Princess Qingyang Yan Yunfei was not very close. In fact, they were not like sisters. Yan Yunyan was a busy woman. She stayed close with several Princes who were capable of obtaining the throne. Her backer was strong as well, otherwise, such kind of person like Shui Hongyan would not follow her. Yan Yunfei was totally different. As the queen's daughter, she enjoyed a status much higher than that of concubines' offsprings. The queen had only one daughter, that was her. From childhood, she had got intensive care from the queen and her elder brothers. No one dared to offend her, and no one dared to apply the disgraceful intrigues and conspiracy on her. That made Yan Yunfei more simple-minded than Yan Yunyan, and that was the reason why Zhou Bao refused to marry Yan Yunyan but preferred Yan Yunfei.
As for Yan Yunyan, Zhou Bao had neither positive nor negative opinion of her. He just thought that this woman was very annoying and fond of meddling in others' business. The dispute between the Kunlun Mountain and him could be left to themselves to solve, but Yan Yunyan, an unrelated woman, interfered. ”Who are you? Do I know you? For what can you mediate?” Zhou Bao thought.
That was exactly the main reason why Zhou Bao disliked this woman.
However, visiting her sister was very reasonable, which Zhou Bao had no reason to impede. Moreover, she was also a princess!
”Humph, to visit your sister... I don't think your purpose is really pure!” Zhou Bao thought. He stood off the chair with a sneer on his lips.
”Jiang Xiao, let her wait in the parlor. I'm going to change the clothes. I'll go with Madam!”
”Yes, Your Excellency!”
...
…
After one hour, Zhou Bao and Yan Yunfei showed up together in the parlor. He frowned the moment he entered.
It was because, besides Shui Hongyan, there was another person with Yan Yunyan, a court eunuch.
His spirit was gloomy as if he only had a cultivation of Level Four or Five, but he gave a feeling of extreme danger to Zhou Bao, or perhaps, at the first sight of this eunuch, a sense of crisis came to Zhou Bao immediately.
Seeing Zhou Bao and Yan Yunfei entered, the three people, including Yan Yunyan, also stood up.
”Sister Yunfei, it's been a long time that I haven't seen you!” Yan Yunyan walked toward Yan Yunfei riantly and held her hands as if their relationship was very close.
”Princess Heyang, long time no see!” Zhou Bao smiled. ”As a woman of eminence, you never went to the temple for nothing. What's the purpose of today's visiting?”
”Oh, my dear brother-in-law, you have wronged me. Isn't it natural for me to visit my sister? We haven't seen each other for several years. Judging by your words, you are going to impede my visiting?”
Saying that, she looked Zhou Bao up and down several times. Her eyes revealed some puzzlement.
Zhou Bao's wearing today was simple, it was a blue robe.
”How dare I? She is my wife as well as your sister. You can come whenever you want of course, but—”
Before he finished his words, he suddenly felt his eyes heating up. Meanwhile, a huge greedy desire came from his eyes. Zhou Bao was shocked at once, and all of his Spiritual Strength was fixed on the old eunuch together with Yan Yunyan.
”Eh?”
Thanks to his spiritual strength, Zhou Bao found that there was a strange wave hidden in the old eunuch's eyes. It was such a wave that Zhou Bao had never felt before, but the feeling from his Fiery Eyes was very familiar. It was the desire and greed when his Fiery Eyes were eager to engulf the power of Zhu Ba's eyes.
”Something is wrong with the guy's eyes!” Zhou Bao thought. He got nervous and his gaze became fierce at the same time. That old eunuch seemed to feel something as well. He suddenly raised his head and cast his eyes at Zhou Bao.
”You, oh—”
Zhou Bao would never give him any chance to open his mouth. The moment he said ”you”, Zhou Bao raised his hands, and soon an invisible power lifted the eunuch's body up.
”Zhou Bao, you—”
Seeing that, Yan Yunfei, Yan Yunyan, and Shui Hongyan all got shocked. Shui Hongyan, with a swift move of his body, stood in front of the eunuch.
”You'd better stop, otherwise, I'll kill you too!” Zhou Bao cast a cold glance at Shui Hongyan. A strong Fierce Qi burst out afterward.
Shui Hongyan was an expert. But facing Zhou Bao's fierce Qi Power, he could not help trembling.
”This guy is the spy from the Li Dynasty. It was him that led the assassins to the Jin Dynasty. I'm killing him today to eradicate one scourge!” Zhou Bao said coldly while his hands hold harder. ”Crack!” He broke the eunuch's neck.
...
…
”Zhou Bao, how conceited you are!”
After a few breaths, Yan Yunyan finally reacted to it and screamed out!
