Chapter 464: The Scheme Succeeded

Once the Jade Plate started rotating, the entire Sea Area seemed to be frozen. In other words, the time came to a standstill at the Sea Area.

”No, I can't do this. This is something that will land me in trouble. Even if I obtain it, I cannot use it. God knows what Divine Wind Palace has done to it. Since I'm not a Demonic Immortal in the sea, I cannot stay in the sea forever. If I wrest it from Yu Nantian, I might have a showdown with Divine Wind Palace in advance if they should find out I was the grabber!” Zhou Bao cautioned himself secretly. There were plenty of good things in the world, and it was impossible for him to have them all, especially something that would only bring trouble. Only fools would rush to grab it at this moment.

”Haha...!” Upon seeing the black Jade Plate, the Demonic Immortal was overjoyed. He asked, ”Are you willing to come out now? Have you finally decided to stop hiding?” While he was talking, he guided a dozen quaint creatures back to his brocade pouch.

”How dare you pursue me by yourself !” From under the black Jade Plate, Yu Nantian gradually emerged. After a few days, his face had become much paler and his hair was in a disheveled state. He was no longer so supercilious and had become much more mature.

”I have always been the timid type. However, if I had known that it was that easy to get hold of your fairy weapon and still did not turn up to try and get it, wouldn't I be like a fool?” Looking at Yu Nantian's appearance, the Demonic Immortal sneered at him and added, ”Hey, don't pretend that all is well in front of me. Do you think that I don't know what you have gone through? You were severely injured at the start, but you concealed your injury and pretended to be fine. Later, you suffered a serious blow from the Lunar True Thunder when you were in Rolling Dragon Palace. Although you were protected by your fairy weapon, you were extremely exhausted. Do you think that I'm afraid of you? You look strong in appearance only but I think you are really very weak already!”

”Lunar True Thunder? Oh, is that what it is known as? I thought it was a kind of Thunder Technique. I did not expect that a Thunder Technique can be so powerful. It seems that I need to do more research into it when I go back!” Zhou Bao thought to himself after he heard what that Demonic Immortal said.

”Humph, the Lunar True Thunder was really powerful, but I was safe due to the protection of my fairy weapon!”

”Haha...!” The Demonic Immortal laughed wildly and said, ”You're really cunning, but you cannot hide your injury from me. Although I wasn't in Rolling Dragon Palace at that time, I put more than 30 Golden Earthworms around the palace to keep a close watch on you. Rolling Dragon King launched the Lunar True Thunder so suddenly that you did not even have time to use your fairy weapon. Even though you survived largely due to the protection of your fairy weapon, you were still badly injured. Do you think that I don't know that? How dare you forcibly operate your Real Essence to launch your fairy weapon? It seems that you really have a death wish!”

”Really? How would you like to test and see if I'm really that badly hurt?”

”No, there's no need for me to do so. I will just stand here and wait. Let's see how long you can maintain your current state. As soon as your energy is exhausted, I'll take all your belongings. Haha...!”

The Demonic Immortal laughed wildly again.

”You are truly contemptible!” Yu Nantian appeared to be panic and swore in a low voice. ”Since you are trying to take advantage of me, let's see whether you have the ability or not!” While speaking, he pointed at the black Jade Plate above his head, and the latter gradually began to rotate. At this moment, Zhou Bao felt something was wrong.

Everything around him stopped moving. He could not move either. He seemed to be constrained by an invisible force. Worst of all, his mind too, seemed to be frozen.

”No... Way...!”

Zhou Bao had a great shock. He had quickly launched the Furnace of Immortality when he first felt that something was not quite right. Luckily, with the help of this fairy weapon, the constraint he experienced was counteracted by its power.

However, the Demonic Immortal was not that fortunate. He was frozen by the fairy weapon.

Thanks to the Furnace of Immortality, Zhou Bao was able to ward off the effects of the Jade Plate. He had tried to use his Pure Yang Celestial Devices, but none of them could be activated, even the Poison Cold Shield, which he had refined and used for so many years; they remained motionless, as if controlled by an invisible strength.

”Oh, it has the power of bringing time to a standstill. Good heavens! This fairy weapon can freeze time. It's really an awesome treasure!” Greed arose in his heart again. His body even started to edge forward, trying to get hold of the Jade Plate.

As he moved, another problem occurred. He could not rush toward Yu Nantian because the surrounding area was in a frozen state. The Furnace of Immortality was able to protect him from being affected by Yu Nantian's fairy weapon; however, its power was limited and so was its area of coverage. If it was required to cover wider areas, it would use up more Real Essence and Dharma power. The confrontation between two fairy weapons would require a lot of Dharma power. He managed not to let his greed get the better of him and stopped operating the Furnace of Immortality with his Real Essence after being affected by the powerful constraint brought by Yu Nantian's fairy weapon. He chose to stay where he was.

All these things had happened very quickly. Zhou Bao abandoned the idea of robbing Yu Nantian of his fairy weapon and chose to analyze the situation rationally from the sidelines.
