581 Refining the Scepter (1/2)
The scepter had not many uses to the present day, Zhou Bao could only feel it would help with the Asura Destroyer Pole, but other than that nothing important. Nonetheless, he still did not give up, as he was determined to find its uses sooner or later. Besides, carrying a fairy weapon couldn't be harmful at all. What's more, when he first touched the Scepter, he could feel the apparently useless Golden Dharma power he had absorbed from that Innate Deity's skeleton react. Up until then, that power had been of no use unless there was an emergency, but with this fairy weapon, he should try to see what happens. However, he could not do that with Elder Qing in front of him, so he pretended to be cold, and talked with extreme sarcasm.
”Asura Heart-Killing Stick Technique?!” Elder Qing wobbled slightly. Afterward, he started laughing bitterly. ”Aye, whatever you say, no matter what, the thing is now yours. Although not everyone is happy about this, I have already discussed with them. If you successfully bring the people back, then we'll add in more rewards for you!”
”Another fairy weapon?!”
”Do you think fairy weapons are cabbages, that we can give it to you so freely!” Elder Qing was frustrated, ”You should give thanks that you even have one. Although not everyone is happy about this, you're indeed a weird kid, maybe you'll crack the secret behind this and gain something beneficial from it? As for the other rewards, they may not be fairy weapons, but when you're back, we'll be sure to satisfy you!”
”Elder Qing, I'm holding you to your words, don't play with me!”
”Who's playing with you!” Seeing Zhou Bao's dissatisfaction, Elder Qing was extremely helpless. ”Okay, there is no point debating over these meaningless things. We've already contacted the Three Western Regions. It would be best if you could set off as soon as possible. Divine Wind Palace, Dragon Thunder Palace and Bigwheel Temple are on their toes!”
”Don't you think that this is a good chance to tackle Divine Wind Palace?!” Zhou Bao squinted his eyes and laughed heartily. ”Be it Hong Taihe or Yu Taiming, those two are some really tough guys. Perhaps, they've already put on a fight with the strong influence in the Infinite Star Sea. Even if I go now, I may not be able to see them alive!”
”Kid, you better not play around. You're right, this may be indeed a good chance, but the threat of the Infinite Star Sea is greater. You've been there, you know the ability of the Alliance of 13 Realms and the Milky Way Realm. If we go and cause a scene now, we really are no match for them. Precisely because of this, the five biggest sects of the Three Western Regions agreed to let us use their Transmitting Formation!”
Zhou Bao listened and did not say a word. He gave it another thought and said, ”Since that's the case, then I have not much to say, but it'll be better if I go alone. Great Dark Lord Du and Yukun Buddha should stay here. Their abilities are not enough, they'll be a burden to me!”
”We've considered this problem too and arrived at a similar conclusion. They are indeed not powerful enough. Also, they have already caused enough trouble. We've decided to imprison them first and when you bring the people back, we'll then do something about them!”
”Then that has nothing to do with me, that's great!” Zhou Bao was elated. ”Then I'll return and prepare to set off tomorrow!”
”Fine, I will not disturb you anymore. Tomorrow morning, someone will be there to pick you up!” Elder Qing nodded and glanced at Zhou Bao with a deep look. ”If this time around, you're able to bring the Elders back, you'll receive so many benefits for your future use. They owe you a big favor, even if things fall out with Divine Wind Palace, you don't need to worry much!”
”Then, let's hope that's the case!” Zhou Bao did not know why Elder Qing would mention something about this. However, since he was so sure that he would fall out with Divine Wind Palace if he himself had said that Zhou Bao should just take it naturally.
Seeing the shadow of Elder Qing gradually disappear in front of him, Zhou Bao held onto the scepter tighter. The space surrounding his body vibrated and he disappeared on the spot.
”Good stuff, this is good stuff. A scepter from the ancient deities, a buried history, hehe, this good stuff is indeed not easy!”
