655 Ten Years (1/2)
After returning to the Seven-deity Regions, Zhou Bao was not disturbed, not that anyone would dare to do so.
Other than Mr.Feng IX, no one else knew about their experience in Thunder Emperor's touring abode. However, Wang She and Child-endowing Buddha both benefitted quite a lot from the journey and went home smiling. Looking at the two's relationship, they seemed to be much closer after the incident.
However, Zhou Bao had no idea that the two had gained a huge advantage under the guidance of Child-endowing Buddha during their journey. Could their relationship be bad when everyone had gotten a fairy weapon?
Hence, upon returning, both quickly started their closed-door training to refine their fairy weapons. Where could they find the time to stir up shit in Seven-deity Regions?
Zhou Bao did not care about the chaos in the Seven-deity Regions, as he needed time to practice. After gaining the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and strengthening The Black Pearl, he had a deeper understanding of the capabilities and power of the Supreme Fairy Weapon. He also understood several ways of practicing changes, which naturally meant that he had to do closed-door training to secure this foundation and understand his current phase. This was to prepare for future Void Thunder Tribulations.
He also knew from Mr.Feng IX that it would be best to undergo the Void Thunder Tribulation if he wanted to feel the willpower of the Void Immortal Realm. The power of the Thunder Tribulation was significantly lower in the macro world. At the same time, however, one could only accept the extremely blurry willpower of the Immortal Realm, perhaps even ignore it. This was not what Zhou Bao needed.
Furthermore, he was not like other people who only underwent the Thunder Tribulation once. He wanted at least six Thunder Tribulations at once and get the Karmic Rank of a Lord of Heaven. That meant that he would face bigger pressure. Even with his current cultivation and capabilities, he did not have enough confidence to undergo them successfully. In fact, if he had not attained the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, he would not have been that confident. The biggest difference between undergoing several Thunder Tribulations all at once from going one at a time was that the former would allow one to feel the continuous willpower of the Immortal Realm, otherwise it would feel discontinued. In the present world, it seemed like not much difference. However, for someone like Zhou Bao who practiced as a Powerful Divine from antiquity times, the change was huge.
3,000 Great Ways was the willpower of Immortal Realm experienced by the practitioners in the antiquity times who underwent numerous Thunder Tribulations. Initially, the practitioners who underwent Void Thunder Tribulation had felt just minor secrets of the Divine Sense. Once they continuously underwent three Thunder Tribulations, they could feel one of the 3,000 Great Ways. Of course, one would have to undergo the Thunder Tribulations six times consecutively in order to feel the complete 3,000 Great Ways. By going one step further for the seventh time, one would then be able to get a Divine Sense, which would be linked with what he felt earlier. If one managed to undergo the tribulation eight times at once, then he would have to be congratulated for completing all that was necessary to instantly reach the peak of an eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. He could undergo the ninth tribulation anytime, hence securing his Karmic Rank of a Human Immortal.
Do you want to undergo the Thunder Tribulation nine times in a row to become Human Immortal?
Sorry, you do not have the chance. Even if you had the capabilities, the Void Thunder Tribulation could only be used for eight times. Even if you wanted to, you would not know where to go.
This was the benefit of undergoing several Thunder Tribulations at once. If separated, they would not give that many benefits, especially the seventh time. Even if one was able to feel the Divine Sense, it might not be suitable for him. It could even be a trap, causing him to be unable to practice anymore. If one underwent eight Thunder Tribulations at different timings, he would only be a beginner eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven at the end. It would be difficult for him to reach the peak of it. Without thousands, or even millions, of years of practice, it would be impossible to jump from beginner to peak. There was a huge difference between the two ranks.
Of course, the above-mentioned could only be attained on the basis of accepting the Void Thunder Tribulation. In an independent macro world, even if one underwent the Thunder Tribulation eight, or even eighty times, he would be unable to receive the willpower of the Void Immortal Realm. Also, he would not be able to completely understand any of the 3,000 Great Ways at all.
Ten years passed gradually. Actually, in the present world, it was ten years. However, for Zhou Bao who was practicing in the Sea of Divine Power, it was 300 years.
The Wheel of Time could control the flow of the Azure Big World. However, after the Azure Big World received the macro world of stars, its powers increased incredibly. The Principle of Great Ways was one step nearer to completion. Even Zhou Bao could not activate the Wheel of Time as he pleased anymore.
Now, his limit was adjusting the time ratio with the present world to 30:1. For 10 years that this continued, he would have to stop for a year, that was the limit. If he forcefully activated it further, then the Principle of Great Ways of the entire Azure Big World would be destroyed.
Although Zhou Bao was in control of the Principle of Great Ways of the Azure Big World, he was unwilling to destroy it. Who was he trying to fool? This stuff belonged to him and his world. It was not worth it to forsake it in exchange for a short duration of time to spare. To a practitioner in the present world, time was never enough. However, for the under-thirty Zhou Bao, time was exactly what he had in excess.
”Father, you finally came out of your training! Uncle came many times but didn't manage to see you. He seemed to be in a bad mood!”
”Don't bother about him, he's the Emperor of Great Jin, why is he always coming to my Wuyang Region!?” After going out from his training, Zhou Bao looked at the well-built teen welcoming him and said, ”Eggie! It's only been a few days since we met and your cultivation has improved so much! You're reaching Level Eight soon!”
This teenager was his and Yan Yunfei's son, Zhou Mu, nicknamed Eggie.
Apparently, Zhou Mu was not very pleased with this nickname. His expression shooked, ”Father, I've told you many times, don't call me Eggie, I am already a Level Eight expert. It's embarrassing!”
”Hahahaha, why shouldn't I? What's wrong with Eggie!” Zhou Bao had a sinister smile plastered on his face. ”Where's Dinosaur? Why can't I see her?!”
”Father, don't forget, sister had already said that if you continue to call her Dinosaur she'll ignore you!”
”This little girl, what's wrong with being called Dinosaur? No one would dare to bully her in the future!”
”Even if she's not called Dinosaur, no one would dare to bully her!” Zhou Mu murmured at the side.
”Why, are you guys dissatisfied with your nicknames!”
Zhou Mu had nothing to say. Honestly, it was useless talking sense into his legendary-like father with extremely sinister interests. Think about it, a normal father would never name his twin children Dinosaur and Eggie? Together, they sounded like Dinosaur Egg, which was such a joke. However, Zhou Bao went ahead with these nicknames and even called them using these names from young till now.
When they were young, they did not think about it much. But as they grew older, they started to realize the inappropriateness of their nicknames. However, Zhou Bao, as usual, did not care about their feelings at all.
Perhaps this was the only resentment the two had against Zhou Bao.
”Oh, by the way, did anything interesting happen during these few days when I had my closed-door training?!”
”Nothing interesting, I heard that Lei Xu has succeeded as the Leader of Tian Long Taoism, and Uncle Wang became the top Elder. Also, the Infinite Star Sea is seeping heavily into the Seven-deity Regions these few days. Unknown experts have appeared in many places. Even some Individual Immortals from the few big sects have encountered some trouble. I heard that another three Individual Immortals from Divine Wind Palace had been killed!”
”The Divine Wind Palace has had their heyday, nobody cares about them anymore. For the past ten years, their real experts hid in the Grand Divine Wind Palace and dared not come out. They will still remain strong no matter how many Individual Immortals are killed!” Zhou Bao waved his hand and glanced at Zhou Mu's handsome face. He looked helpless. ”Eggie, only you're here to welcome me today, is your mom throwing a tantrum again?!”
