Chapter 332: Returning to Immortal Palace & Golden Book of Fate
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Immortal Palace was the same as it was when Zhou Bao left the last time. It was lofty, majestic, and full of an air of rural life and mystery.
Now, he became stronger. His comprehension of space and formation advanced as well. Entering Immortal Palace once again, he benefited considerably as he comprehended the inhibition of the Space Division.
”The inhibition of Immortal Palace is really mysterious and unfathomable. If I can set up a complete Yin and Yang Dust Formation, maybe the same effect will appear!” He entered the palace in the waves of space.
”But it's a pity that I lack plenty of materials to complete and set up it. Otherwise, my home can be tightly-guarded. I can even occupy the entrance of the Azure Secret Area personally. Haha, it's not cool. I'm too greedy!” He thought secretly.
He came to Immortal Palace together with Wang She and Earth Bat of Girl. Oddly enough, after Earth Bat of Girl heard that Ye Qingtian possessed a Taiyuan Token, he behaved strangely. As if Ye Qingtian did not deserve a Taiyuan Token.
He did not talk about it anymore all the way to Immortal Palace as if he was dumb. Wang She and Zhou Bao were quite confounded. But Earth Bat of Girl was always paranoid. Thus, they kept silent too.
When they arrived there, Elder Qing was waiting for them in front of the palace door as if he had already received the news.
He smiled as the three people were in sight.
”It's time for you to come here now. Everytime Taiyuan Heaven appears, it will exert a considerable influence on the world. This time is no exception. After 1,000 years of waiting and preparation, we know more about Taiyuan Heaven. There must be a fierce struggle. Experts who haven't reached the Mysterious Realm in the Seven-deity Region are doomed to die. I'm wondering whether you're well-prepared!” Elder Qing sighed as he saw the flying figures and wore a wry smile.
”Pay my respect to Elder Qing!” The three bowed.
”Don't be over-courteous. I already knew what you guys came for. Taiyuan Heaven has shown up now. Zhou Bao, you're one of the people who possess great luck in 1,000 years. You're destined to be involved in this matter. But I haven't expected that Yan Yuntian acted so quickly and gave you his Taiyuan Token!”
”Elder Qing is truly intelligent!” Zhou Bao's expression changed and then he laughed. ”It seems that you can solve my doubt too.”
”You're too lazy and hot-tempered, so you don't understand the solution to your doubt. If you stayed here any longer the last time, you would have known everything now!” Elder Qing smiled. ”You're a member of Immortal Palace, the Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket among the 28 constellations. You definitely will know things that others know as well.”
”Good.” Zhou Bao smiled and nodded his head. Since his cultivation had advanced greatly and he had a discerning eye now, he was more afraid of Elder Qing. At first, he thought that Elder Qing was very simple and ordinary earlier, but now he could sense the overwhelming Qi Power from him. His Qi Power and strength were above that of Level Nine experts.
The inner space of Immortal Palace was boundless and majestic.
Zhou Bao did have a good visit to Immortal Palace last time. But he did not enter the real core, the palace that was covered within the mountains. Elder Qing took them directly to the palace this time.
It was a shabby palace.
It was not glorious and dazzling anymore. Tilting angels and overhanging eaves were dilapidated. However, as the time went by, the unadorned and bleak air of the palace still existed. Time elapsed, but it endowed the palace with a new aesthetic perception.
”The real Immortal Palace is right in front of us. It's the place where we make decisions on big events. But we never use it over the last 1,000 years!” Elder Qing led them to walk through the old and broad meeting hall and stood in the center. He smiled and pointed at the 32 chairs that had made up a circle. Then he said, ”You're one of the 28 constellations. You own a seat among these 32 chairs. If you're free, you can have a seat here. But the room is windy and the chair is a little cold!”
Zhou Bao had already noticed these chairs. They were high back chairs. Among them, 28 chairs were grey and were in the same pattern. However, four black high back chairs were in the east, south, west, and north respectively. They were very eye-catching.
He also noticed the circle that these chairs made of was like a roundtable for holding conferences. But no tables could be seen here. There was only a magic formation on the ancient limestone ground.
”It's a meeting hall. But as I've said, we haven't held any meeting for 1,000 years. The last time we held a meeting was when Taiyuan Heaven showed up. But you know, the 28 constellations have never come together. Last time, more than half of the people didn't come.”
”Elder Qing, you've already known that?” Wang She asked respectfully. He was always bossy and domineering but was rarely so well-behaved.
”Of course I know!” Elder Qing smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He walked toward the black high back chair that was located in the east and sat down. ”Have a seat, please. It's a meeting, we'd better discuss slowly.”
The three people smiled and sat down in their chairs.
”Elder Qing, I'm afraid that there's one thing you don't know!” Earth Bat of Girl sat down and said, ”Ye Qingtian possesses a Taiyuan Token. If so, one token is left!”
”Ye Qingtian? Is he the young man that White Tiger has mentioned?” Elder Qing was somewhat surprised. But he was not that shocked like Earth Bat of Girl, and he nodded his head gently. ”Ye Qingtian has a great luck. It's normal for him to find a Taiyuan Token that hasn't shown up. It's no big deal for three more people entering Taiyuan Heaven!”
”Elder Qing, don't forget about the Thousand Year Promise!” Earth Bat of Girl reminded him of this matter.
”The Thousand Year Promise? It's just a joke! I've never treated it seriously!” Elder Qing snorted. ”Those big sects believe that they've controlled the whole world. Do they think they can determine things 1,000 years later easily by a short discussion? They really impose themselves as Great Ancient Emperors!”
Even the deaf could hear the disdain from his words.
Earth Bat of Girl's expression slightly changed. He was somewhat awkward. ”Elder Qing, though it's true, if they...!”
”Is Ye Qingtian our man?” Elder Qing interrupted him.
”No!” Earth Bat of Girl shook his head.
”That's it! Since he's not our man, it's none of our business!” Elder Qing smiled. ”If they want, we'd better act according to rules. Though the Thousand Year Promise is ridiculous, it's hard to change after all. We'd better wait and see. We must get what belongs to us. If we can obtain more, we can't let them go. This matter is so simple. If others want to pursue more Taiyuan Tokens, we don't need to care about it. But we should fight once they damage our interest. It's right and unalterable!”
”It's the very point where I worry about. Ye Qingtian isn't our man, but he's in a good relationship with White Tiger. If he involves in it, Immortal Palace cannot get away from this matter!”
”White Tiger has a sense of property. He can handle the personal relationship and official business well. He won't muddle them together. Otherwise, he won't be the White Tiger!” Elder Qing dispelled Earth Bat of Girl's worry. He put his hands on the chair and stood up. ”Bat and Wang She, you can go for a stroll. I have something to talk to Junior Leopard!”
”Yes!” They stood up and left directly, leaving Zhou Bao alone in the hall.
After that, Elder Qing pointed at the roof. ”I guess perhaps you've noticed that?”
”Yeah. I noticed it as I came here.” Zhou Bao smiled and looked up. The roof of the palace was a dome that was made of a whole giant stone. It was thick and heavy. However, observed carefully, it was somewhat inharmonious with the palace. In other words, it was not so perfect and tightly fitted.
