607 News of the Devil Fetus (2/2)
For half a year, Wuyang Region was quiet. There was no trace of Zhou Bao in the martial arts world or the higher-level practitioner world. He did not stir up trouble either. It was as if he had disappeared. It was a relief to everybody. Someone as powerful as Zhou Bao really put a lot of pressure on everyone in the Four Eastern Regions. Even if he was now one of the Four Signs as well as one of the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace, the Immortal Palace had no way to suppress this powerful young man.
”You have made it easier for the five biggest sects over the last six months. Are you enjoying it?”
In the back garden of the Lord Mansion, in Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao was sitting at a stone table, with a child in each arm. The two children were playing, oblivious to the depressed Wang She sitting opposite.
”I don't care if things are easier for them. I don't want to meddle in too many affairs anyway!” Zhou Bao said lightly, ”Your strength has improved rapidly in the last half year. You must have thoroughly refined your Kunpeng Bloodline. You're ready to break through the final hurdle, aren't you?”
”Yes, that's why I came to see you. I don't want to be in the Golden Book of Fate!”
”What do you want?”
”I want you to help me. The Child-endowing Buddha said you could help me.”
”It's not difficult. You just need to refine your Real Body in the hollow. Outside of the Heaven Realm, when you break through to the Three Small Realms, your Genuine Spirit isn't affected by the Golden Book of Fate!” After some contemplation, Zhou Bao realized Wang She's intention. ”But you're clearly offending the five biggest sects. Aren't you afraid you'll get into trouble with them?”
”Humph, I think they can hardly look after themselves now!”
Zhou Bao lifted his eyebrows, ”Why? What happened?”
”It's very strange!” Wang She answered. ”You know what happened in the Infinite Star Sea last time?”
”Yes!”
”A disciple from Divine Wind Palace was acting very strange after he came back, causing a lot of trouble. Now he is out of the Divine Wind Palace!”
”Really?!” Zhou Bao was surprised. As the head of the five largest sects of the Four Eastern Regions, Divine Wind Palace not only had powerful strength, it also had very strict rules. No matter which influence this disciple belonged to, he would not gain anything by betraying his sect, and he would surely die. Divine Wind Palace was rich in resources and very generous to its disciples. It was much better to be in Divine Wind Palace than to be a stray practitioner. It seemed incredible to Zhou Bao that a disciple would betray the Divine Wind Palace. Zhou Bao was extremely powerful, but still retained his identity as one of the Four Signs and one of the 28 constellations in Immortal Palace because this identity gave him great protection.
”Did he do the unthinkable because he failed to seduce Yu Taixu's wife?”
”The unthinkable” was Zhou Bao's view on the matter.
”He got a Devil Fetus and brought it back to the Heaven Realm. The Devil Fetus likely controls him completely now!” Wang She forced his face into a smile.
”Damn!” Zhou Bao got up abruptly. ”He brought a Devil Fetus back to the Seven-deity Regions? No wonder he rebelled. Half a year is enough long for a Devil Fetus to become too powerful for anyone to suppress. He had no way of fully refining it, so he had to run away!”
”Exactly! An Elder of Divine Wind Palace discovered his demonic qi and tried to question him. Unexpectedly, he killed the Elder and left. It startled the whole Divine Wind Palace.”
”Divine Wind Palace is really unfortunate to come across such a thing. No wonder you say they don't have time to care about you. He-he, the Devil Fetus was brought to the Heaven Realm. I think Dark Sect should be eager for action!”
”Umm, yes. But the only Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect died in the Infinite Star Sea six months ago. Their power is greatly reduced. How could they be indifferent?”
”What? A Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect? Didn't they only have Dark Lord Red Blood? He was an expert at the peak of the Venerable Realm and had not reached the Lord of Heaven Realm.”
”It's one of Dark Sect's secrets. For thousands of years, it's true that no one in Dark Sect has been able to break through to the Lord of Heaven Realm, but there was a Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect a hundred thousand years ago. It's been a long time. As his life was drawing to a close, he sealed himself using Dark Sect's secret method. He was kept by the Highest Elder, the one with the highest cultivation in Dark Sect. Dark Lord Red Blood has the highest cultivation in Dark Sect, so he entered the Infinite Star Sea with him.”
”Then he died there!”
