”Damn it. Follow them! I thought you would know what to do!”
A boat-shaped Highest Heaven Celestial Device was traveling at high speed in the hollow. From time to time, Zhou Bao could feel the device breaking into one space after another. It folded the space, which was different to the Infinite Realms Teleportation Device and any supreme celestial devices, which just ripped it open. This boat-shaped Highest Heaven Celestial Device jumped in space, and when it jumped it did not break it. This way it did not have to expend too much energy. It was not as extreme as in other places where you would break open millions of miles of space, but it was still much quicker than simply gliding through space.
By this time, Zhou Bao's severed left arm had completely regrown. The regeneration capacity of the Immortal Body Technique, Flowers of the Body, Primordial Fierce Beast, and Demonic Ape Zhuyan could all have allowed him to regrow his arm in a short amount of time. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to dispel the extreme murderous intent from the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi remaining in his body, he could have regrown his arm much earlier.
”I know there is a Transmitting Formation around here, but I don't know its precise location. If you search for it using my method, you will surely be able to find it. But it would take too much time!” The baby laughed gleefully. ”Following them and hiding in the dark will work as well, and it will also help us understand more the state of the Easternmost Land!”
The practitioners of the Star Palace searched the meteor belt but found no results. The Human Immortal felt that this part of the hollow was too strange, and so he made the decision that they should go back to the Star Palace. Zhou Bao seized this opportunity to hide with the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill his spirit and followed their Highest Heaven Celestial Device.
Inside the Highest Heaven Celestial Device, the Star Palace practitioners had fallen into an anxious gloom.
”Now the Star Palace is in deep trouble!”
All of the practitioners understood this. Indeed, this time the Star Palace incurred big losses, 12 Human Immortals and a Three-flowered Human Immortal had disappeared without a trace. You could say that this boded complete disaster, and certainly it really did damage the Star Palace's pneuma. All of the practitioners inside the Highest Heaven Celestial Device were direct descendant disciples of the palace, and their own fate was dangerously bound to that of the palace. It really was the case that if one prospered, they all prospered, and if one suffered, they all suffered. How could they not look distressed?
”Your Excellency, Marquis Ling Jian is unaccounted for, it is not known whether he is alive or dead. If we go back like this——!”
”Marquis Ling Jian has a rare treasure for protection, and he is cultivated to the realm of Three Flowers. Even he has no say over whether he lives or dies, and you think that it would make sense for us to stay in that place?”
The Human Immortal who was clearly the leader of the practitioners stared angrily at the man who just spoke. ”If we lose anything else here, then the strength of my Star Palace in the Easternmost Land will plummet, and we will be reduced to a second-rate clan. Could we really shoulder such blame?”
”Yes, Your Excellency. I don't know what I was thinking.” The practitioner who made the suggestion went pale and slowly retreated.
”Ah, this guy is interesting! He clearly fears death, but what he said made it seem like withdrawing would be committing some great crime. Very interesting!”
”Such a guy will probably not live long!” The baby smiled mischievously. ”We just don't know if this Star Palace is far from here. We don't even know how long it will take to get there!”
”Are you in a hurry?”
”No. It's just that being stuck in this Highest Heaven Celestial Device gets a bit boring. It's not as good as——!” While he was speaking, the baby saw that Zhou Bao bore a strange expression.
”Hey, what's up with you?”
”Shush! Be quiet and listen——!”
