550 World-solidifying Skill & the Human Emperor Palace (1/2)

Senior Grand Tutor Hong was defeated.

When seeing that Hong Taihe had solidified his Self-world without hesitation, Yu Taixu felt greatly relieved. He slowly closed his eyes and sat down, with his back slightly leaning backward. He leaned against the chair without uttering a word for a long time.

Likewise, Zhou Bao turned his five fingers into claws. On his fingertips, there were wisps of smoke that was faintly visible. He didn't keep taking action because he knew that Hong Taihe had admitted defeat the moment he solidified his Self-world.

He had heard of something about the battles between Lords of Heaven from Jing XIII in Azure Big World. Without a doubt, he was aware of the World-solidifying Skill, the last resort of Lords of Heaven.

Therefore, as the purple crystal appeared, a hint of a smile flashed across Zhou Bao's face. By giving his body a shake, Zhou Bao landed on Turtle Back Mountain earlier than Senior Grand Tutor Hong did.

Shortly after he had landed on Turtle Back Mountain, he heard a loud bang. The purple crystal fell to the ground and bounced up and down twice on the earth. Later, the crystal broke apart and, pale-faced, Senior Grand Tutor Hong showed up before the crowd.

”You have won this battle!” Taking a look at Zhou Bao, Senior Grand Tutor Hong didn't know what else could he say. He had solidified his Self-world, however, not only his Self-world had been destroyed, but the Gang Qi that he had practiced for a long time had also disappeared totally. He was unable to fight with Zhou Bao anymore. Under such circumstances, if he still refused to give up, it would look as if he was acting shamelessly.

Given his identity and position, he could not save his face since he had lost to Zhou Bao, a teenager, so easily today. Unquestionably, he would be embarrassed to stay here any longer. Hence, he waved his sleeve and withdrew his ruby flask and the golden puppet. Without saying any word and looking at anyone, he directly left Turtle Back Mountain with Emperor Yang.

”Haha, it seems that I have offended him badly!” Zhou Bao grinned and took his Flipping Sky Seal and Gold Bracelet back as well. Looking around, Zhou Bao felt that the expressions in the eyes of the people present became utterly different. A smile crept up the corner of his mouth. He turned back and asked Chen Jinzhong, ”Excuse me, may I know if the candidate for the Human Emperor has been decided yet?”

Chen Jinzhong took a deep look at Zhou Bao and nodded his head in agreement, saying, ”Yes, of course, now that you have won the battle, this matter is settled. However, the Golden Throne has been destroyed and it's just not realistic to create a new one. Furthermore, it will take quite a long time to make a substitute. So I guess you need to wait for several days before the coronation.”

”I'm not in a hurry!” Zhou Bao waved his hand and laughed, asking, ”My dear father-in-law, are you in a hurry?”

It looked as if Yan Yuntian was dreaming presently. At Zhou Bao's words, he shook his head hurriedly and replied, ”No, no, I'm not!”

”Haha...!” The crowd couldn't help laughing as they watched this scene. It seemed as if all those that had taken place on the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony today had drifted away with their laughter.

”The Divine Wind Palace. Is this the Divine Wind Palace?”

Looking at the glorious and magnificent palace, Zhou Bao was greatly impressed by it. The Divine Wind Palace, be it scale, standard, or imposing manner, was much better than his Sea-calming Palace.

It was a completely separated micro world, within which the density of the spiritual qi was on a par with that in the 33 Heavens, such as Azure Heaven. However, this space was much similar to the rift of the gray space he had fused together with the Azure Secret Area and later became the Sea of Divine Power. There was nothing but spiritual qi. Such a place was the best choice to be used to build palaces and practice sites.

Presently, this space was completely used to build the Divine Wind Palace. Moreover, after so many years, void of the least breath of life, this space had turned into a place full of vitality, with the existence of assorted exotic flowers, rare herbs, divine beasts, and rare birds. Around the Divine Wind Palace was even a dense primeval forest which stretched out to a far greater distance away, with Divine Qi overflowing everywhere.

Zhou Bao's reaction would be justifiable. But Yan Yuntian, who had never seen such a scene, was stunned by it for the moment.

After all, he was the candidate for the Human Emperor. Although he could not take the throne immediately because the Golden Throne had been destroyed, him becoming the Human Emperor was a hard and fast matter. Thus, in terms of position, he was neck and neck with the mighty experts in the five biggest sects.

Of course, he was just nominally on par with them. Now look, none of the suzerains of the five biggest sects were here, and even the lord of the Divine Wind Palace, Yu Taixu, was absent. Chen Jinzhong was his only companion, and following them were the spectators from the other four sects.

Yan Yuntian's position had been greatly improved after he became the candidate for the Human Emperor. He stood at the very front of all the people and was followed by Chen Jinzhong, who lagged behind half step. While walking, the latter was introducing him to the situation of the Divine Wind Palace. Behind them were Elder Qing, Child-endowing Buddha, and other people, who were from the five biggest sects. As for Zhou Bao, he had already reached the top of the steps and was now looking up at the huge plaque hanging over the palace.

The Human Emperor Palace!

Yes, this was the Human Emperor Palace, rather than the Grand Divine Wind Palace!

The Divine Wind Palace and the Grand Divine Wind Palace were two different concepts. The former was the name of a sect and also this small space, while the latter was one of the untold palaces in the Divine Wind Palace and also the grandest one.
