532 A Different Royal Capital (2/2)
However, Zhou Bao did not plan so much in advance. The refining of this Supreme Fairy Weapon was already a surprise, but this surprise brought its own concerns. From this matter, Zhou Bao was sure that Jing XIII harbored secret plans against him. This Supreme Fairy Weapon was only a seductive bait. He knew that with Zhou Bao's greedy nature, Zhou Bao would definitely be lured in. Once Zhou Bao swallowed this bait, he would have an easy time in the future. Before he tasted the sweetness of the Supreme Fairy Weapon, Zhou Bao would at least execute his plan regarding the energy source. At that point, it would be easy to manage other affairs.
Zhou Bao could see his secret intentions clearly, but he did not really care about them for now. This world was a world that based itself on capabilities. Zhou Bao's current capability was far greater than Jing XIII's. Even the two men at the Azure Big World had been absorbed into his Supreme Fairy Weapon to form Highest Heaven Space. The Azure Spirit Sea had been turned into an energy source, and therefore, Zhou Bao was not worried that Jing XIII would play tricks on him.
After receiving the Supreme Fairy Weapon, Zhou Bao looked at the faintly dark hollow surrounding him and swallowed a strong urge to explore it. His body twitched, and with the Infinite Realms Teleportation, he instantly returned to the Wuyang Region. At this point, a total of 10 days had passed.
Refining a Supreme Fairy Weapon seemed easy on the surface. But in reality, the process was super complex. 10 years had passed in the making of the weapon. If it was not for Zhou Bao's use of the Primitive Dragon Chimera to fixate the Wheel of Time where the flow of a year in that world would only be equivalent to the passing of a day in the real world, he would have returned back to a world where he knew no one after he successfully refined his fairy weapon.
10 days were not very long. However, it was still a few days closer to the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. After returning to the Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao did not see anyone. He returned to the Sea-calming Palace where he slowly reviewed the insights gained from the 10 years of refining this Supreme Fairy Weapon in closed-door training. It was only after he felt confident of his mastery that he stopped his training, opened the hollow, and headed for the Western Capital.
This time around, he did not go to Mingyi Lane. Instead, he headed straight to the Western Capital's Imperial City. After the previous punishment they went through, the people in the School of Five Virtues should know better than to stir trouble here again.
”What is this? What a rich sense of fate!”
Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Bao tore through the hollow and entered the Royal Capital, he was assaulted by a huge spirit that almost caused him to fall from the air.
His heart suddenly shook. With a flash of his body, he used the Three Realms Division to direct himself to Mingyi Lane. As he gazed towards the Royal Capital, he got the shock of his life.
You know why?
In the sky above the Royal Capital, there was a trail of purple Qi that stretched from the heavens to the earth. That vast, purple Qi had enshrouded the entire Royal City, preventing all evils from invading.
Sure, no evils could invade it. Under this strange Purple Qi in the Western Capital, even a Metaphysic Individual Immortal would be trapped by this Qi. Anyone below the rank of a Genuine Immortal would not even be able to fly with their Gang Qi in the Royal Capital.
Similarly, under this mist of purple Qi, the space around the Western Capital seemed to have gained another layer of protection. For people like Zhou Bao who had the ability to hollow travel, it was not possible to do so in the Western Capital unless one had terrifying powers like Zhou Bao. If not, one could only be suppressed.
”Is it that Yan Yuntian has already become the Human Emperor that there's such a dense fate?!” Zhou Bao suspected. As he watched the Royal Capital, which was enshrouded in purple Qi, his body flashed again once more, forcibly broke open the hollow, and entered the Royal Capital.
”Who is so audacious to intrude into the Royal Capital?!”
This time, just when he appeared, he heard a shout beside his ear. Following it, a sharp palm wind hit him from his back.
”Stop~~!”
”Noo~~!”
”Be careful~~!”
Bang~~!
A series of shouts followed by a rumbling sound sounded out. A group of shadows were blown hundreds of feet away by a gust of energy and landed on the ground unconsciously.
Facing this sharp palm wind, Zhou Bao neither avoided it nor did he use his Gang Qi; instead, he let it hit his body. Although he did not use the Real Body of Zhuyan, his body had been strengthened by the Mysterious Divine Light and even had the Zhuyan's bloodline. Who could destroy it?
That man was only of the Level Eight cultivation. His palm punch on Zhou Bao was for him like being bitten by a mosquito. It was, in fact, the Mysterious Divine Light's massive recoil force that caused that man to suffer.
”My distinguished father-in-law, what a great display of your might! And why? Are you ready to ascend to the position of the Human Emperor?!” Zhou Bao turned his head and looked with a slight smile at Yan Yuntian as if he was the core figure and everything revolved around him.
