Chapter 350: Qingtian Retreated and White Tiger Appeared (2/2)

Yes, Zhou Bao was still young and his cultivation skill was only at Level Nine.

However, these four could discern that even though Zhou Bao's cultivation skill was only at Level Nine, his actual strength was way above Level Nine. Even though he was just standing there and holding back both his Spirit and Qi, but they could feel the menace emanating from him.

Zhou Bao's body was not strong, but it seemed like a gigantic black hole which could absorb all the Qi and pneuma in the world. It was also like a sealed bag which allowed no pneuma to ooze out.

With just one glance, the trio knew that even though Zhou Bao 's cultivation skill was lower than theirs, his strength was way greater than theirs.

He already had such strong powers at such a very young age, and could only get more powerful in the future.

TThe most important fact was that this person was not an Immortal yet.

To be an Immortal was the ultimate goal of most fighters and practitioners.

It meant having an incomparable Divine Sense and immortality.

However, only those had already become Immortals, knew that it was not as good as what people imagined it would be.

Freedom and leisure!

They had both. Yet they could not be part of any worldly affairs!

They could not violate the Laws of Heaven!

Although it was not confirmed, only under special circumstances, are these Immortals allowed to take part in worldly affairs. An example was the time when Ye Qingtian brought out his magic weapon and chased after Zhou Bao and they were allowed to intercept him.

Magic weapons were not allowed to be used in the mortal world!

That was one of the doctrines stipulated in the Law of Heaven.

Several years ago, the disciple of Fifth Manor in Longevity Mountain randomly used a magic weapon, Pureness Jade Vase, to subdue a monk of Bigwheel Temple, and for that he got himself into a lot of trouble. If it had not been for the Fifth Manor and Palace of Eternal Life which came to his defense, Ma Tianchang would be long gone.

Therefore, although they were able to help this time, their hands were also tied.

For the entire world.

The real deterrent was not the Metaphysic Individual Immortals like them, but those Level Nine experts.

Level Nine was the peak of the power of a mortal.

It had been an iron clad rule since the ancient times.

Zhou Bao had not yet reached the Mysterious Realm, but he was a Level Nine expert, which meant he was free to do whatever he wanted in the world. As long as he didn't violate the Law of Heaven, no one could restrain him.

The Law of Heaven was used to rule the Immortals and was of no concern to Zhou Bao unless Zhou Bao used the magic weapon to create chaos. Otherwise, even if Zhou Bao was battling others before their eyes, the Individual Immortals could not interfere if he was not offending others intentionally.

Just like last time when he smashed Mingyi School, the Individual Immortals stationed in the Mingyi School could only intimidate him with words, and not action. In fact, even if they were to battle against Zhou Bao, they could only drive him off instead of killing him.

The affairs of the world can only be settled by the mortals.

And the Level Nine experts could only be restrained by the Level Nine experts as well.

That was also one of the doctrines of the Law of Heaven.

The only law was made for the common people.

But the thing was that, though this guy was at Level Nine, his power was far above Level Nine and even reached the level of a Metaphysic Individual Immortal. What did it mean?

It meant that there was no one in the world who could control him!

No one!

This was Zhou Bao's situation now. From the very beginning, there was already someone who advised them that they should not interfere when Ye Qingtian sought revenge on Zhou Bao. They wanted Ye Qingtian to use his magic weapon to destroy Zhou Bao, the weird puppet who had transcended the boundaries of the world.

But that advice was not heeded.

The reason was very simple - Zhou Bao could be of great use to them.

Historically there had been people like Zhou Bao and they were all very powerful figures. Yet they all shared a disgraceful reputation and the common nickname given to them was ”troublemaker”.

If Divine Wind Palace could win this guy over to its side, especially this troublemaker, it would be a lot easier for Divine Wind Palace to handle matters in Central Mainland Region. Even if they failed to recruit him, good relationships between them would have been established, in the event that he should decide to turn against them. If that happened, it could cause a whole lot of problems.

One should know that Zhou Bao was from Wu Family, yet Wu Family belonged to Tian Long Taoism. Apparently, the relationship between Tian Long Taoism and Immortal Palace was very fragile.

If Zhou Bao was recruited by Immortal Palace to go against Divine Wind Palace, Divine Wind Palace would not be able to do anything in Central Mainland Region, just like what had occurred at Mingyi School.

At first, these four Individual Immortals came here with a mission, and they regarded Zhou Bao with disdain. But now, after they had witnessed Zhou Bao's strength and realized that he was well matched or even better than them, at such a young age, they gradually lost their contempt of him and even swallowed their pride. Moreover, one of the Individual Immortals was a very chatty fellow and they soon got acquainted with each other.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhou Bao got to know the Immortals. Except for Mock Moon Immortal, whom he knew from before, they were Bliss Immortal, Longlife Immortal and Xiaoyaozi.

They were the Individual Immortals from Divine Wind Palace. Divine Wind Palace had anticipated that Ye Qingtian would retaliate against Zhou Bao, so it sent these powerful Individual Immortals to lay an ambush there.

Zhou Bao did not bother too much with the three Individual Immortals, but he was also aware that they wanted to recruit him. Although he knew what they wanted, no promises were given by him.

Zhou Bao tactfully declined their offer for him to join the Divine Wind Palace, but he indicated that he would try his best to help Divine Wind Palace if ever they needed help. After all, they were facing the same enemies.

”This time, Ye Qingtian was just testing you. Now that they know our Divine Wind Palace has combined forces, they will not take any action for these few days. Hump, these remnants of Fiery Eyes are the common enemies of the world. After this incident, it won't be easy for them to show themselves in public. So you can relax, Your Excellency.” Mock Moon Immortal waved his feather fan and reverted to the form of a holy Immortal.

”Sure he can. This is Central Mainland Region. We of the Immortal Palace have to be responsible for this incident. He has nothing to do with it.” Someone said directly after Mock Moon Immortal had finished speaking.

. With the exception of Jiang Xiao, who was the only subordinate there, everyone's power was above the level of the Individual Immortal, and no one had noticed the stranger in their midst. They were not aware that he was in the room, until he spoke up. All of them were in deep shock.

Zhou Bao's eyes were very different from the common people, so he could see better than the rest. This stranger had appeared in the room the moment Mock Moon Immortal had finished his speech. When he showed up, there were no space waves or sound, which was very strange.

Mock Moon Immortal and his mates started to panic, but when they saw who the guy was, they were relieved. However, they looked gloomy.

It's White Tiger. Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first!” The Four Individual Immortals of Divine Wind Palace stood up and made their obeisances to the visitor.

”Hump, why are you here at the Central Mainland Region? Since when you can manage the affairs in Central Mainland Region?”

They looked gloomier, having known of the notoriety of White Tiger's ill temper. Mock Moon Immortal cupped his hands, ”Brother White Tiger, you must excuse us. We are not managing the affairs of Central Mainland Region. But since there were so many people and incidents involved in this matter, we were ordered to investigate it. And we happened to meet Ye Qingtian here, and engaged in a fight with him. It was never our intention to disturb you, Your Excellency.”
