519 Dash out of the Splendid Landscape Map (2/2)
However, under these circumstances, Yun Tianhe was already exasperated. He could have killed some of them in anger even if he didn't kill them all. Perhaps they would be left behind as a bargaining chip for him to negotiate with the five biggest sects. Unquestionably, Zhou Bao had spared the five biggest sects a big problem by rescuing all the survivors. They had to accept this favor. Furthermore, it was not so easy to get hold of Zhou Bao's stuff.
Basing on the strength Zhou Bao had displayed when he rushed out of the Splendid Landscape Map, he would not be that easily bullied.
Since then, the five biggest sects in the Four Eastern Regions and Youxian Temple had become enemies. This time, 50 percent of the blame for such a heavy loss fell on Youxian Temple. However, Youxian Temple would not give in that easily. The Chief of Youxian Temple was furious due to the disappearance of the Taoist Priestess Bai Lan. Although Child-endowing Buddha was the most likely suspect, Youxian Temple did not have any hard evidence. Coupled with the fact that both sides were made at each other, they couldn't reach an agreement. Though he was furious, the Chief of Youxian Temple could do nothing much since they were thousands of miles apart.
However, in the Four Eastern Regions, the relationship between the five biggest sects had also become estranged. If Youxian Temple should bear 50 percent of the responsibility for this loss, everyone agreed that of the remaining 50 percent of the responsibility, Divine Wind Palace should account for at least 40 percent because the target of Rolling Dragon King was their member, Yu Nantian.
Rolling Dragon King was a local bully in the Sea Area. No matter how powerful and confident the five biggest sects were, they dared not send a punitive expedition against him to avenge themselves in the Sea Area. Since they could not vent their anger upon Rolling Dragon King, they would naturally direct their anger toward Yu Nantian, the initiator of the incident.
To bully the weak and fear the strong was human nature.
If it wasn't for Yu Nantian who had overdone the things in the Sea Area, why would Rolling Dragon King be so furious? The latter then came to the Seven-deity Regions, risking his own life, to plot trouble for the five biggest sects.
”When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffers from it.” This was the best description of this matter. If Yu Nantian had died in the ensuing battle, that would be plausible. However, although the city gate was on fire, it had not been totally burnt. Instead, half of the fish had perished. How could the remaining fish have no objections?
Coupled with the things that Divine Wind Palace had done before, the reconciliation between the five biggest sects due to the Void Map no longer existed. Their relationship became subtle again.
”Damn it. How ruthless you are, Rolling Dragon King!”
After this battle, the five biggest sects were once again not on good terms and held trials that pitted their strength against each other. However, Zhou Bao returned to the Wuyang Region without any further delay, after he had snatched the Inner Elixir of the Evil Fire Kylin.
The Inner Elixir of the Evil Fire Kylin was a great help to him in practicing the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. The Eight Nine Mysterious Skill was a cultivation method of the Primordial Fierce Beasts, Zhuyan. Although they were beasts, they were as smart as humans. Some who had a stronger Bloodline Inheritance would be even more cunning than humans. Like Innate Deities and Primordial Demons, these Primordial Fierce Beasts were born from the essence of heaven and earth. They were born with powerful Divine Senses and intelligence which were superior to those of human beings. Therefore, having been passed down from generation to generation, the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill was certainly better than any human's cultivation methods. The cultivation methods of the Fierce Beasts were all created based on the characteristics of this race and had a high pertinence to beasts. As the saying goes, ”A specialist is a master in his own special field”. Therefore, the more highly the cultivation method was targeted, the better the effect.
The Eight Nine Mysterious Skill specialized in practicing the body and the Mysterious Divine Light, while the Inner Elixir of the Evil Fire Kylin majored in purifying the body. Although his body was quite strong, it had many impurities that had to be removed. His body was considered strong among the human race. However, it was inferior to the body of a newborn female Zhuyan if it was compared with a kind of Primordial Fierce Beast, the Demonic Ape Zhuyan tribe.
The Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was a high-level Fierce Beast, while the Kylin, together with other legendary divine beasts and supernatural animals in primitive times, were just low-level Fierce Beasts. Generally, high-level Fierce Beasts such as Zhuyan would be born with the strength of a human Venerable. There was no need for them to practice at all. They would obtain the strength of a Lord of Heaven at the adolescent stage merely by eating and drinking every day. Once becoming an adult, each Zhuyan could easily break through to the Human Immortal Realm, known as the moment of life and death by human practitioners.
However, the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was not a fool that merely ate and drank. It knew how to practice as well. Their opponents, of course, would not be the human practitioners because they could not be compared to each other. After many years of accumulation and inheritance, the Zhuyan tribe had a unique cultivation method in possession—the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill.
As the high-level Fierce Beasts in primitive times, their opponents were Innate Deities and Primordial Demons. The Eight Nine Mysterious Skill also existed because of their opponents.
The cultivation method that targeted the Innate Deities and Primordial Demons was undoubtedly not as simple as the ones Zhou Bao had practiced before. With Zhou Bao's intelligence, it was quite hard for him to understand the quintessence and subtle point of this cultivation method. In the final analysis, Zhou Bao was considered not a particularly clever man.
