607 News of the Devil Fetus (1/2)
Ancient Treasure Ruins.
A group of friends.
A Human Immortal.
These words revealed a message to Zhou Bao: he did not know that much about the world. The world was not as fragile as he thought, and there were some extremely powerful people, even if it wasn't said. Also, there were Human Immortals outside the Sea Area.
”Human Immortals” should not be looked down upon. The existence of Human Immortals meant that the Seven-deity Regions would be all right, even if they did not destroy the Transmitting Formations that led to the Infinite Star Sea. A Human Immortal could not leave his own macro world for too long; otherwise, he would suffer the Void Thunder Penalty. In other words, even if people from the Infinite Star Sea wanted to capture the Seven-deity Regions, the strongest person would be a Lord of Heaven at most. The difference between a Lord of Heaven and a Human Immortal could be compared to the difference between an Individual Immortal and a Genuine Immortal; a Sage and a Venerable; or a Venerable and a Lord of Heaven. Unless you met a special case like Zhou Bao, the former, no matter how many of them there were, could not compete with the latter.
What was more, it could be gathered from the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch's words that there was more than one Human Immortal in the Seven-deity Regions.
This was not surprising. A Human Immortal's lifespan was much longer than that of a Genuine Immortal. Even a Lord of Heaven did not live as long as a Human Immortal. Perhaps it was because of the lack of pneuma that no one in the present world had become a Human Immortal. But tens of thousands of years ago, a select few people had had the chance to become Human Immortals. They had powerful ways to keep and extend their lives. Thus, it was normal for a Human Immortal to still be alive. In fact, they would continue to live for quite some time.
Zhou Bao was at the Mysterious Realm, but his life was far beyond that of an Individual Immortal because he had refined the bloodline of Zhuyan. Zhuyan was a type of Primordial Fierce Beast, one of the Six Royals, and had a lifespan much longer than that of a Human Immortal.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there were Human Immortals in the Seven-deity Regions. On the contrary, it would be strange if there were no Human Immortals.
Zhou Bao didn't care if he met a Human Immortal. Although he was not sure he could defeat them, he was sure he could run away. And even if he failed to escape, he could use his Supreme Fairy Weapon to deal with them.
It was precisely because of his immense strength that he was oblivious to the six Hidden Treasures.
What if he could explore them and have countless treasures?
Were there Supreme Fairy Weapons?
”I have a Supreme Fairy Weapon, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, two Taihao Fairy Weapons and two Big Iron Hammers that are invincible. Why should I care about ancient Hidden Treasures?”
”I am a Hidden Treasure myself. Why should I bother looking for Ancient Hidden Treasures with a bunch of old men?”
That was his thinking when he refused the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch, and it was true. With all that he had now, he didn't have to seek the Hidden Treasures. Although it was compelling, they could not offer him any real help.
If it had been a few years ago, he would have been interested because he had not found his way to the future at that time. It was different now. He had identified the path he would take and the path for future practicing. There might not be anything in the Hidden Treasures that would suit him, so he refused without hesitation.
In the days since Zhou Bao's departure, Wuyang Region had not changed much except to become more prosperous. It was already a large city, and the form of a huge city wall and moat had appeared. On the official road, people, carriages and horses were streaming in. It was lively but orderly. Zhou Bao had never cared about his territory, but he had made a development plan, based on his knowledge from his previous life. This development plan had meant nothing to him in his previous life. However, it achieved good results in Wuyang Region.
Now, the whole northwest region had united, forming a profitable organization dominated by Wuyang Region, with other northwest lords as members. The situation was a bit like the middle ages in Zhou Bao's previous life. When there were conflicts between these lords, Wuyang Region would mediate. There was no major conflict, and no wars like there had been in the dark middle ages.
On the whole, the entire northwest region was at peace. This was certainly not what the rulers of the Jin wanted to see, but there was nothing they could do.
Zhou Bao's strength had already surpassed the secular bearing ability. It seemed that no one in the world was able to restrain him now. For most people, King Wuyang who could not only cause trouble, but also find fault, was the last man they dared to offend. The large sects had agreed that as long as he did not disturb them, they would not take action against Zhou Bao.
There was literally no one who would say no to him now, even if he ran amuck in the Four Eastern Regions. But he would not do something so mundane.
After all, a man had to do something meaningful.
Such as accompanying his wife!
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Bao fell into a comfortable life after he came back from Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. The only thing he cared about from day to day was his wife and lovely twins.
