551 Seeing Ji Yeyue Again (1/2)
Such troublesome days!
Sitting on the roof of the Human Emperor Palace, Zhou Bao stretched himself. He felt that the days were really boring. After the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, there came the coronation. However, the coronation which should have been held immediately after the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony had been put off for 10 days due to the ruin of the Golden Throne, which had cast an ominous shadow over the coronation.
Fortunately, no more chaos occurred during these 10 days and the result was reasonable. Now that such an accident had already taken place in the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, the Divine Wind Palace wouldn't dare to call itself the head of the five biggest sects if there was something wrong with the coronation again.
Without any accident, the coronation was like calm water. Yan Yuntian also fulfilled his wish and successfully took the throne. Compared with the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, the coronation was extremely extravagant. The suzerains of the five biggest sects had all come here, including Yu Taixu from the Divine Wind Palace, Thunder Dragon Venerable from the Dragon Thunder Palace, Jade Pool Golden Mother from the Jade Pool, Sakyamuni Buddha from the Bigwheel Temple, and Star Master from the Immortal Palace. This was the first time that Zhou Bao saw the Star Master of the Immortal Palace. He was still one of the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace now, but his combat capability was at the Lord of Heaven Realm. Furthermore, he was able to defeat Eight-tribulation True Immortals. Hence, he would certainly not hold the Star Master in awe like he was before.
But to his surprise, like Yu Taixu, he could not see through the other four suzerains' cultivations. He could only feel a hint of pressure in the face of them.
It was because of this pressure that Zhou Bao would not be presumptuous in public.
After a series of strange rites, Yan Yuntian formally became a candidate for the Human Emperor that was on a par with the five suzerains. After the coronation, the five suzerains suggested exploring the Infinite Star Sea.
It was not until this moment that Zhou Bao finally realized the exploration of the Infinite Star Sea required the approval and leading of the candidate for the Human Emperor.
That was to say, the exploration of the Infinite Star Sea could begin only when the candidate for the Human Emperor had been determined.
”What logic is this?”
Zhou Bao could not understand. In fact, he already felt dizzy and exhausted due to the complicated etiquette and old system of the coronation. When no one else was around, he ran out to catch a breath.
”King Wuyang, it's been a long time since I last saw you!”
Just as he felt bored and troublesome, a clear voice sounded close to his ears.
”Oh, it turns out to be Lady Yeyue. We indeed haven't met each other for a long time!” Turning around, Zhou Bao saw Ji Yeyue standing gracefully not far behind him.
”This time, I wonder whether King Wuyang will go explore the Infinite Star Sea or not?”
”Me? Haha, I'd like to. But I heard that someone wanted to kill me in the Infinite Star Sea, so I'm still considering it!”
Evidently, Zhou Bao's words were beyond the expectations of Ji Yeyue. ”It seems that King Wuyang is really well-informed. But now, it's merely an old story!”
”An old story? Why?”
”In the past, the five biggest sects did not like your behavior, and at the same time, they were afraid that you would grow up so rapidly that you may threaten their status and be out of control. So they wanted to kill you secretly before you have fully grown up. But they changed their ideas after they witnessed the battle between you and Senior Grand Tutor Hong!” Ji Yeyue gave a wry smile. ”Senior Grand Tutor Hong is an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, but he was defeated by you. Therefore, no one can be sure that he can get rid of you. After all, even the candidate for the Human Emperor's greatest power is only to nominally mobilize those Venerables. As for the Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm, they themselves are the masters of a field who don't need to care about the candidate for the Human Emperor. There are no more than 10 Lords of Heaven in the five biggest sects and not every one of them is an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, just like Senior Grand Tutor Hong. They are all big shots in the Four Eastern Regions and every movement of theirs is able to make the ground shake. Your defeating Senior Grand Tutor Hong means that there is no one able to threaten you in the Four Eastern Regions and even in the Seven-deity Regions. Even if they want to join hands to harm you, it may be easy for them to defeat you, but it would be impossible to get rid of you. Therefore, congratulations! From now on, you are also a big shot!”
A big shot!!!
Zhou Bao smiled bitterly upon hearing Ji Yeyue's remarks. He said, ”I'm just excellent in combat capability. When it comes to cultivation, I am really not that good!”
”You're so modest!” Ji Yeyue laughed. ”May you take care of me on this trip to the Infinite Star Sea?!”
”Why? Aren't you a member of the Jade Pool? Are you going to the Infinite Star Sea as well?”
”Yes, the list of the Jade Pool about who shall go to the Infinite Star Sea has been settled. I'll go there with several Martial Uncles to seek the Divine Fate!”
”I don't mind cooperating with you. But as you just said, I guess I don't have the opportunity to go there!” Zhou Bao shook his head with a smile on his face.
”No opportunity? Why?”
”Now that they are unable to get rid of me, they surely don't want me to gain so many benefits. If I am right, the trip to the Infinite Star Sea this time will be led by a Lord of Heaven, but it won't be me!”
Ji Yeyue was no fool, after all, she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Zhou Bao's words after thinking for a little while. Her face darkened but recovered instantly. She said, ”Yeah, I'm stupid. Given your powerful strength, the five biggest sects will never let you gain any benefit for nothing because you're not a member of it!”
