520 Precious Beyond Words (2/2)
”Do you think they are dumb enough to let you benefit out of this?!”
”Of course they're not stupid! We also cannot expect the fight to really happen. But it would be possible to drill a nail between both families, and cracks will build up over time. And when the time is right, it will crumble on its own. To deal with the Divine Wind Palace, we must target both the inside and the outside of it!”
”You're just a fake Child-endowing Buddha. Why are you so concerned with the five biggest sects instead of playing with some women in Bigwheel Temple? Is it possible that you really want to become the Bigwheel Temple's leader?!”
”Hmph. Based on my current power and potential, it is not impossible to become Bigwheel Temple's leader!” Child-endowing Buddha became proud. ”But you know already know that I'm really not interested in the position. Now that everyone knows that my cultivation is practiced regularly and has become a divine intervention, my status in the Bigwheel Temple has soared very much. Now, the Bigwheel Temple will ask for my opinion on many decisions. So in order to secure my spot, I should do something for them too. The higher I go and the more secure my position is, the more advantages you have, no?!”
”So you chose to go against Divine Wind Palace?!”
”I need to show some results. Although I did gain a huge benefit and showcased my ability, my accompanying monks all died in Splendid Landscape Map. This requires an explanation, and the best explanation would be to pressurize Divine Wind Palace and get something out of them.”
”Haha, it is always easier said than done. How are you going to do that? Don't tell me you want me to join hands with you?!” Zhou Bao gave a cold laugh. ”Child-endowing Buddha, I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't want other people to know our past relationship!”
”This I understand, of course. I am not asking you to go with me. For a big school like Divine Wind Palace, even if both of us pressurize them together, there wouldn't be much effect. All we need to do is to show our stance. I will go there and ask for a compensation for my poor monks. You, on the other hand, have to deal with them using another method!”
”Which method?!”
”Candidate for Human Emperor!”
”Why does this involve the Human Emperor again?!” Zhou Bao frowned.
”Isn't this all coincidental?!” Child-endowing Buddha gave a cold smile. ”You should know, Divine Wind Palace has always wanted to regain the power of the Ancient Celestial Court and bring back the Human Emperor's position, ruling the whole country. However, it is not easy to bring back the position. Apart from huge power, a strong fate and birth destiny are required.”
”This I know, a supreme being's life is needed!”
”Nonsense. That is for the Emperor of a dynasty, not a Human Emperor. For a Human Emperor, you'll need the life of a celestial being. Just like your daughter and son, they have it! Only those with such birth destiny are suitable candidates for being a Human Emperor!” Speaking of which, he glanced at Zhou Bao and broke into laughter. ”However, the life of a celestial being is not easy to get! This is also why Divine Wind Palace brought this idea to Dragon-taming Ruins. They wanted to make use of the strong earth vein fate there to mass produce a group of candidates with the life of a celestial being. Although they did not succeed completely, after so many years, there are a few candidates that became candidates for the Human Emperor, just like your old father-in-law!”
”What did you say? Yan Yuntian was brought up by Divine Wind Palace?!”
”Obviously, if not, why do you think his birth destiny is so good and his fate so smooth-sailing? His mother, your wife's grandmother, is surnamed Yu!”
Hearing this, Zhou Bao froze. He stood there and said not a single word.
”Not only Yan Yuntian, a few emperors from various dynasties in Li dynasty of Penglai Region, as well as two other regions, are all from Divine Wind Palace!”
”They are also related to the Yu family?!”
”No, no, no, no, no. There is not just one Yu family in Divine Wind Palace. There is at least one more Hong family. Other than that, there are other families!” Speaking of which, Child-endowing Buddha scanned Zhou Bao. ”If not, why do you think Immortal Palace is so interested after finding out your land is the place of Nine Dragons convergence? Why did they build the Sea-calming Palace here to press down the dragon vein without any consideration for costs? They have the same idea as Immortal Palace. Your children's birth destinies, hehe, are costly beyond words~!”
