555 Borrowing Treasures (1/2)
Yan Yuntian remained in the Divine Wind Palace; so did the suzerains of the five biggest sects. Ever since the Supreme Fairy Weapon first appeared, their sense of crisis had suddenly increased. They were desperately in need of something to make them feel safe. The exploration of the Infinite Star Sea became the life-saving straw. However, no one really knew what these crafty guys were secretly planning.
Zhou Bao didn't have that much pressure and was in a good mood. He had successfully diverted the attention of the people from the five biggest sects, people who might otherwise have other intentions towards him. This was a relief.
Before he could decide what to do, an unexpected visitor caught him unprepared.
”What do you think of my Wuyang Region? Isn't it wonderful? Look! The Sea-calming Palace is over there. The Immortal Palace has paid for it!” Zhou Bao pointed a large area of palaces on the Jilei Mountain out to Ji Yeyue. ”If the northwest region could be regarded as well governed under my hand, then I should be good at governing the world. Don't you think?”
Looking at Zhou Bao, who was pointing vigorously, Ji Yeyue covered her mouth and chuckled. ”King Wuyang you are truly awesome! You're the best in both governance and martial arts. You should have a place among the Human Emperor candidates!”
”Hahahaha, that's what I was thinking when I was in the Human Emperor Palace. But I still had a lot of things to do at home. I was too busy!”
”I know you are a busy man. I would not have come to see you today, but I had no choice!”
”Don't say that. The Wuyang Region is honored by your presence. I've been longing for you to visit!”
”That's so sweet!” Ji Yeyue shook her head and smiled bitterly. ”To be honest, I do have a favor to ask!”
”What is it? As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse!” Zhou Bao said confidently, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.
”I've come here to borrow something from Your Royal Highness!”
”Borrow something?!” Zhou Bao was confused. ”What do you want to borrow?”
”The trip to the Infinite Star Sea will be full of opportunities, Divine Fates and danger. I'm not powerful enough. Without a celestial device, I will probably die out there. I would like to borrow some Pure Yang Celestial Devices from you for protection!”
”I see. You're one of the people exploring the Infinite Star Sea!” Zhou Bao nodded. Everyone knew he had many treasures. In addition to the several Pure Yang Celestial Devices he already possessed, he had gathered three more from the Bigwheel Temple. It was said that even though they had been defeated in the Sea Area, he had killed a Four-tribulation True Immortal and benefited greatly. The treasures he had collected included many Pure Yang Celestial Devices. The two Pure Yang Celestial Devices he displayed in the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony were enough to be the envy of everyone present. They were both Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices.
”You want to borrow a weapon. That's easy!” Zhou Bao smiled and added, ”I have many celestial devices. Do you want to pick them yourself?”
”I'm so flattered!” Ji Yeyue was taken aback. Zhou Bao was doing such a huge favor for her, she didn't dare to ask too much. ”I don't have much power. Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices would be beyond my capabilities. I couldn't give the fullest play to their functions. It would be a waste.”
”Then, you mean...”
”I just want to borrow two Medium Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices, the ones from the Bigwheel Temple. One is the Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill and the other is the Tower of Seven Treasures!”
”The Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill and the Tower of Seven Treasures!”
Zhou Bao would have forgotten about these if she hadn't mentioned them. They were among the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices that the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple had compensated him with. The Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill, though powerful, was much too evil and was therefore confined in the Tower of Seven Treasures. Although Zhou Bao had the power to tame it, he had never found the time; he was too busy. It was surprising that Ji Yeyue would pick these two weapons.
”I can offer you the Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill anytime you want, but not the Tower of Seven Treasures. I've been studying the Divine Sense of Buddhism and the Tower of Seven Treasures could be very useful to me!” He glanced over Ji Yeyue and continued, ”I accidentally received another Pure Yang Celestial Device specifically used for defense. It is as effective as the Tower of Seven Treasures. What do you think?” He moved his fingers. A silk scarf surrounded by cyan light appeared in his hand.
