The Emperor Baiqi!
He was one of the nine Emperors of Earthly Immortals and supreme rulers of the Seven Mysteries World. And his relationship with the Emperor Hulong was not amicable, as Zhou Bao learned from the news and newspapers.
In fact, since there were nine Emperors, six forces controlled by six Emperors in the macro world and the other three Emperors, as old as they were, remained in the background to reconcile the contradictions between the six.
The Emperor Baiqi and the Emperor Hulong both entered the Earthly Immortal Realm at the end of antiquity times. As a result of the relationship between the two men, their forces did tit for tat for many years, which was a secret known in the Seven Mysteries World. Now the Emperor Hulong suffered heavy losses in fighting with Zhou Bao, and his enemy, Emperor Baiqi, showed Zhou Bao kindness. Not a bad thing for Zhou Bao. But how did the Emperor Baiqi discover him in the first place, when he moved undetectable?
”About 400,000 years ago, the Seven Mysteries World set up a magic formation to monitor every corner here, so as soon as you appeared in this macro world, the Emperor knew.”
”Is there monitoring?” Zhou Bao paused for a moment before he smiled. It seemed that the rulers of civilized societies all possessed this quirk.
”Since I'm here, I may as well stay and make the best of it. Lead the way,” Zhou Bao said, following Zhou Ning.
The position of Emperor Baiqi in the Seven Mysteries World ranked extremely high, and his residence certainly was magnificent. Not that he liked it, but as a ruler of a macro world, living in a thatched house was impossible. He was not one of those Earthly Immortals hidden in the depths of the Seven Mysteries World after all.
Zhou Ning acted humble in front of Zhou Bao. But as a trusted subordinate of the Emperor Baiqi, he held a very high position in the Seven Mysteries World, only second to those Emperors, and was so privileged that he didn't need to obey the rules at all. Besides, he even controlled some of the magic formations of inhibition, without subject to the restrictions. Thus, he broke through the space with a swift palm thrust, passed several layers of space with Zhou Bao and entered the infinite space.
This infinite space's inferiority to that of the Heaven Realm World showed. Much less complication, but very average in its construction. Zhou Ning's familiarity with this place soon brought Zhou Bao to the destination.
”Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain!”
Standing in a space like a fairyland, Zhou Bao froze, because what he saw was not Mist Dragon House, but Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain.
This mysterious sect disappeared in the Heaven Realm World according to the news of the Seven Mysteries World and appeared in the infinite space of the Seven Mysteries World, far away from the Heaven Realm World. For a while, Zhou Bao stared in awe.
”It's been a long time since I last saw you, King Wuyang!”
”Taoist Qing Feng?”
A figure appeared before him and greeted him with a warm smile.
”Yes, I'm Qing Feng!” Qing Feng said, his joyous smile like a crescent moon. ”Thank you for helping us solve a formidable enemy!”
”A formidable enemy? He he, to you, he's just a buffoon, not a formidable enemy at all.” Zhou Bao said hurriedly.
The Torrential Thunder Emperor harbored a hatred for Fifth Manor, and Zhou Bao helped with it. But Fifth Manor was so powerful that they didn't need any help. They asked him for assistance, perhaps just to make a good connection with him. Zhou Bao dare not take the credit.
”Last time I left in a hurry, and didn't visit you. Please forgive me!”
”Haha, surely you jest. What you did was unexpected, but it prevented the Seven-deity Regions from plunging the people into misery and suffering. You really did a great job!” Qing Feng thought what Zhou Bao had done was funny. ”The best part was that you fooled all the people who were plotting in the dark!”
Zhou Bao forced a smile. He would not have done so if it not been for the emergency. After all, those people plotting in the dark were not pushovers.
Qing Feng gripped his stomach and laughed. ”Oh, that's all. Otherwise, my junior brother and Ming Yue will kick me to death!”
”It turned out that the Emperor Baiqi was the junior brother of Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the disciple of Zhen Yuanzi. That explains it.” Zhou Bao thought to himself.
The Mist Dragon House was one of the holy places of the Seven Mysteries World. Few people knew that it was actually an ancient tree. The Emperor Baiqi constructed the tree into a grand palace with some Divine Sense. Now, due to the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain here, the ancient tree had been hidden inside Fifth Manor, in a different yard from the withered ginseng fruit tree. In Zhou Bao's eyes, a very strange occurrence.
