747 The Secondary Palace (1/2)
The baby was really pink, tender, and surprisingly cute. It looked around with its innocent eyes. But the things it said were not so pleasant.
Seeing Zhou Bao with only one arm, it curled its lip in contempt. ”I say, boy, your arm has not been cut off by the Immortal-slaying Sword, has it? So shameful! Oh, what's that?”
Zhou Bao smiled bitterly. The baby immediately recognized the red gourd and knew that it was the red gourd's device spirit itself. The red gourd was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. After it was heavily damaged, it simply could not exert its original strength anymore. Now it was back to normal. The gourd seemed to have absorbed enough murderous intent that it had somehow awoken. The surprising thing was that an awakening device spirit sounded so strange.
”Hey! Go and see what that thing is!”
Zhou Bao quickly discovered the device spirit's flaw. It had crawled out from the mouth of the red gourd's shadow, but it obviously could not go far from it. It had sensed that there was something right in front of it but had no way of going over to see. It could only urge Zhou Bao to go over.
Zhou Bao sneered slightly. He also thought something felt strange.
Many practitioners from Star Palace were gathered. They certainly were not there to hang around chatting, they had something serious to do. They had most likely found an item like a hidden treasure in this meteor belt. Because the Immortal-slaying Sword had turned everything in a thousand-mile radius into nothingness, no matter how well hidden the Hidden Treasure was, by now it must have revealed its trace.
”Oh, is it really a Hidden Treasure?”
Indeed, it was. There were many practitioners in this world. Since the Primordial Origin, there have been countless Powerful Divines who had left behind mysterious treasures. These Powerful Divines could knead the Law of Space like a piece of dough, and the inhibition that they established could only be truly found by those ordained by fate to do so.
This was just like the Hidden Treasure in front of him. It was hidden in a space the size of a speck of dust. It was uncertain how the Star Palace practitioners had managed to find it.
After the attack of the Immortal-slaying Sword Sword Qi, there was only one place around where there was a faint light glistening.
”Do you know what that Hidden Treasure is?” Zhou Bao asked, looking startled at the impatient baby.
”I don't know, but it feels very familiar to me.” The baby shook his head and turned to look all around. It stretched out its arm and with it swept the surrounding space several times. ”It seems this is the Easternmost Land. The Law of Space here is so solid, so it must be the Easternmost land. Let me have a look at that thing!”
Zhou Bao reached out his hand and picked up the item with its weak rays. In his hands, Zhou Bao could feel that the object was about the size of a speck of dust, but it actually weighed more than forty thousand pounds. He picked it up carelessly and nearly dropped it.
”Oh, so this is the secondary palace! Interesting. Did the Duke of the East also disappear? How could he have moved the secondary palace here? Even the inhibition is half destroyed!”
”Who is the Duke of the East?” Asked Zhou Bao.
”The Duke of the East was an expert from the ancient deities who controlled the Easternmost Land. But he disappeared during the end of the ancient deities period, and he lost his control over the Easternmost Land. He must have been destroyed!” the doll said nonchalantly.
Zhou Bao had an idea. ”Can you break the inhibition of the secondary palace?”
”Of course I can!” the baby said proudly as a mournful murderous intent shimmered and died out again. The dim rays in his hand were energized, and what had been a tiny speck of light turned suddenly into a huge palace floating in the hollow.”
Is this... a Highest Heaven Celestial Device?”
In Zhou Bao's imagination, the secondary palaces of the experts of the ancient deities would have at least been fairy weapons. Even if they were not Supreme Fairy Weapons, they would at least be Taihao Fairy Weapons. But how was this only a Highest Heaven Celestial Device?
”Yes, it's a Highest Heaven Celestial Device.” The baby looked at Zhou Bao and seemed to realize something. It said with a smile ”Do you want some good stuff? In the ancient deities period, the palace of every Divine Tribe was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, not a single one was a fairy weapon!”
”Why?”
”Why? Because a palace is just a place to live. All of the good stuff was hoarded by the ancient deities to build their three holy cities. Ninety-nine percent of the resources of the Void Universe were squandered on the origin, construction, and final fate of these cities. Therefore, they had just enough to suppress the whole world, and just enough to chase the Devil Tribe and the other Extraterritorial Area alien races out of the hollow. Their three holy cities were the only Supreme Fairy Weapons.
”What you mean is, that this secondary palace won't have any good stuff?” Zhou Bao looked at the Duke of the East's dazzling building and was visibly disappointed.
”It depends on how you think about it. An ordinary divine device is not a small thing, and there are magic weapons, materials, and mysterious objects too. It should be quite a good haul for you! Although this is just a secondary palace, the Duke of the East must have collected some interesting objects here.”
