677 Obtaining the Immortal Body Technique (2/2)
The Divine Palace was the target of the Old Demon of Black Mountain. He had stayed in the Immortal Realm for quite a long time, and he had even had the thought to hang himself. In any case, he had been unable to find a way to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm. When the message leaked out from the Heaven Realm World, he saw a glimmer of hope. As long as he could pin down the exact location of the Divine Palace, he would surely have his way to get to the Heaven Realm from the Black Mountain World and enter the Divine Palace to acquire the mysteries of stepping into the Earthly Immortal Realm.
However, he had not expected Hei Chou, who possessed a Heavenly Fairy Weapon and a Middle-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon, to be killed.
Hei Chou was killed by his own self-confidence.
In his opinion, he could snatch a ready-made place without making an effort in the Heaven Realm World, where there was a lack of Spiritual Qi and the most powerful practitioners were merely Human Immortals. Nonetheless, he had never expected that there would be a freak like Zhou Bao. Being careless, he was killed by Zhou Bao and the Child-endowing Buddha, and all his treasures and collections fell into their hands.
”These celestial devices are useless to me. But I have a lot of subordinates, so I'd better keep them and put them with the Pure Yang Celestial Devices I've obtained from the Sea Area.” Although Zhou Bao was extremely wealthy, he was badly in need of elixirs and magic weapons. As his subordinates were ever-increasing and getting more powerful day by day, they should at least have one or two celestial devices. He did have many celestial devices, but when they were distributed to his men, each one of them could only get a few weapons. It really confirmed the saying: ”The head of the household knows the cost of fuel and rice”. Although he scarcely took charge of affairs at home, he still felt highly pressured. He felt he would never have enough celestial devices. Therefore, he did not bother to be that courteous in front of the Child-endowing Buddha as he accepted all the things. After all, it was he who had defeated Hei Chou. He just left Hei Chou at the Child-endowing Buddha's disposal. All those things were supposed to be his. He had satisfied the Child-endowing Buddha's desire to get revenge on Hei Chou, so the Child-endowing Buddha should repay him for his kindness.
Of course, if the Child-endowing Buddha were not here, even if he could take out Hei Chou's spirit, he would not have been able to get so much information from his spirit. That was an easy task for the Child-endowing Buddha, who easily got what Zhou Bao wanted.
”What did you do to his spirit?”
”There will be no such person as Hei Chou in this world again. Even though the Old Demon of Black Mountain controls the entire Black Mountain World, he cannot let Hei Chou reincarnate fully intact!” When mentioning Hei Chou, traces of hatred intermingled with excitement flashed through the eyes of the Child-endowing Buddha.
”Zhou Bao, since you gave me this guy's spirit, I owe you a big favor. You can ask me to do anything in the future, and as long as I am able to do it, I will not refuse!”
”What a cunning guy! What do you mean that you will do whatever you can for me? If you cannot do anything, will all my efforts have been in vain?” Zhou Bao complained in his heart. He knew it was quite difficult for the Child-endowing Buddha to make such a promise judging by his personality.
”Do you know the exact position of the Divine Palace from the era of ancient deities?”
”The exact situation is only known to the Old Demon of Black Mountain. He has two tasks; find a safe place in the Seven-deity Regions and settle down, and ascertain the strength there. It seems that he planned to lurk in the Heaven Realm World for a long time. Therefore, I guess the location of the Ancient Divine Palace should be very secluded and it should be extremely difficult for anyone to discover. Otherwise, given his character, he would never adopt this approach.”
”The Old Demon of Black Mountain no longer can threaten us, unless he recklessly runs to the Heaven Realm World to avenge his son; otherwise, we can ignore him for the time being!” Zhou Bao thought for a while and added, ”Even if the other macro worlds already know some things about the Heaven Realm World, including the exact location of the Divine Palace, they will never be willing to take the initiative to act and be the enemy of the Heaven Realm World. In that case, we don't have to act ostentatiously like we did today. As long as they don't provoke us first, we don't need to care about those troublesome matters. Anyway, there are still the Sea Area and the few big sects in the Seven-deity Regions to worry about these things!”
”That sounds reasonable. But given your current status in the Seven-deity Regions, you are the focal point of others. No matter what the origins of the guys coming to the Heaven Realm World are, they have to take your attitude into consideration, as do the sects in the Seven-deity Regions!”
”Hmm, let those sects run their courses. I will not care about other sects except for the Immortal Palace!” Zhou Bao sneered and continued, ”Especially the Divine Wind Palace. Were it not useful, I would have exterminated it. How can I allow its disciples to lord it over others in the Seven-deity Regions?!”
