Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 678: Discussions & Another Clue

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Personally, Zhou Bao was eager to wipe out the Divine Wind Palace. But it was not the right time. The Heaven Realm World was suffering from both internal trouble and outside aggression. It would be destroyed by powerful practitioners from other macro worlds if it was not careful. He did not want to get into any trouble at this point.

Super sects like the Divine Wind Palace were definitely the main forces in fighting against the macro worlds that had a conspiracy against the Heaven Realm World. No matter how strong he was, he was merely a person. Even adding in Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha, they were only three Immortals. And even though they were mighty, it was impossible for them to influence so many macro worlds. He would not be so confident to consider themselves the main force of the Heaven Realm World. They had never ever harbored that idea.

Therefore, after seizing all of Hei Chou’s treasures and failing to find the so-called Ancient Divine Palace, Zhou Bao launched the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

The formation enveloped the entire Wuyang Region. Of course, it did not mean that he had sealed up the entire area. In fact, after the formation was launched, there was only one path left for passers-by to get in and out of—the endless Wuyang Road that led to his territory from the main gate of the Wuyang Region. It might cause trouble for those who went in and out of the Wuyang Region, but it would make his territory a safe place to the maximum extent.

His behavior had stirred up great reactions in the entire Heaven Realm World, and those reactions and influences were known by many other macro worlds.

“What? Zhou Bao launched the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to cover the entire Wuyang Region!”

Inside the Divine Wind Palace, Yu Taixuan crumbled the purple-gold wine glass with great force and stood up excitedly. “What does he want to do? At a time when the Heaven Realm World is in great peril, he directly closed his territory. As the strongest practitioner in the Heaven Realm World, shouldn’t he take on the responsibility that he is supposed to?!”

“Well, Yu Taixuan, knock it off. Even if you file a lawsuit against him in the Immortal Palace, it will turn a deaf ear to what you say!”

At this moment, the Divine Wind Palace was packed with people.

Ever since Yu Taixuan failed to kill Zhou Bao in the void, such meetings had been held many times. In the beginning, they had even arranged many plans in order to wage a life-and-death battle against Zhou Bao, lest he get revenge on them. But in the end, it turned out that he did not attach any importance to them and did not even say anything. He simply closed the Wuyang Region suddenly and did not plan to cause them any trouble.

The Divine Wind Palace had ruled the Seven-deity Regions for many years and had quite a bunch of cunning guys. When they thought of what had happened in the Heaven Realm World recently, they immediately figured out most of Zhou Bao’s thoughts—he meant to let the Divine Wind Palace resist the disasters for the Heaven Realm World.

The Divine Wind Palace’s strength had been greatly weakened during its recent failures. However, it still was the top sect in the Four Eastern Regions. After all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. When something bad happened in the Heaven Realm World, the Sea Emperor would be the first one to handle it. If he did not take action or failed to resist it, then the Seven-deity Regions would be the second one to cope with it.

In the Seven-deity Regions, super sects such as the Divine Wind Palace, the Immortal Palace, and the Palace of Eternal Life would be the first to be affected.

“Hmm. Don’t forget that the Immortal Palace is also a super sect in the Heaven Realm World. As a member of the Four Signs of the Immortal Palace, Zhou Bao can never shirk his responsibility!”

“He did not mean to shirk his responsibility, he simply closed his territory. Brother Taixuan, it’s his private affair, do you want to have a hand in it?!” Hong Taihe looked better compared to the time when he was defeated by Zhou Bao. Although he was quite unlucky, the Yu family was much unluckier than him. After a few collaborations, he suddenly realized that the Yu family seemed to have only two or three powerful practitioners left. Publicly, they had only one practitioner—Yu Taixuan, at the Lord of Heaven Realm. Their next generation had not grown into powerful practitioners yet. If it were not for the few old bastards who had been immersing themselves in the Single-minded practice in the depths of the Divine Wind Palace, he would have overthrown the Yu family’s dominant position in the Divine Wind Palace.

But now, the Hong family’s situation was not so good either. Hong Taihe’s son was a little bit more promising than the boys of the Yu family, but in the end, he did not have as many resources as the Yu family. Moreover, it was a harsh time, so he did not fall out with them. But as he heard Yu Taixuan censure Zhou Bao, he could not help making a sarcastic remark.

Presently, Zhou Bao would never be someone that the Divine Wind Palace could provoke!

“Junior Leopard did it for the sake of the safety of his Wuyang Region. I guess he does not have other intentions. And just like Lord Yu said, he is still a member of the Four Signs of the Immortal Palace, the Water Leopard of the Winnowing Basket. So, he would never cast the matters concerning the Heaven Realm World aside!”

The speaker was Yan Yuntian, the Human Emperor candidate. Compared to his predecessor, he had a much greater say and right, which was due to him having a good son-in-law.

As Zhou Bao’s strength increased—be it the Immortal Palace, the Jade Pool, or the Dragon Thunder Palace—they all had strengthened their support for him, intentionally and unintentionally. As a result, his authority was elevated to a new level. Coupled with the fact that he acted on behalf of the justice of the Heaven Realm World, even the Divine Wind Palace did not dare to do anything to him. It was even obliged to offer him more palaces and areas. He performed his duty to rule the Heaven Realm World and he also made Lord Yu a mere figurehead. He was now an authoritative and fair Human Emperor candidate.

“The will of the Immortal Realm suddenly fell and led to great confusion in the Heaven Realm World. However, it’s also an opportunity. Our world has been away from the Central Star Area for 810,000 years. Perhaps it’s a good thing for us to communicate with other macro worlds. Maybe we are able to make the glory of antiquity times reappear.”

“The glory of antiquity times?!”

Yu Taixuan burst out laughing when he heard Yan Yuntian’s words. “Yan Yuntian, do you still want to be the real Human Emperor? The glory of antiquity times! There were 99 emperors in the Heaven Realm World at that time, and each one of them was an Earthly Immortal. How about now? The most powerful practitioner in our world is a Human Immortal… do you understand? A Human Immortal!”

“Sure, that’s the strongest combat capability in our Seven-deity Regions, but not the Sea Area!”

“Hmm, the Sea Area is indeed powerful, but it is impossible to be the enemy of so many macro worlds. You’d better abandoned that stupid idea. The Heaven Realm World can no longer make the glory of antiquity times reappear. We’d better discuss how to handle the scouts from other macro worlds!”

“They are not powerful and are easy to handle. The problem is how we should deal with the macro worlds behind them!” Hong Taihe squinted and looked at Yan Yuntian sitting in the center and Yu Taixuan sitting near the left side. “I think it would be best to hold a meeting in the name of the Human Emperor candidate, which all the big sects in the Four Eastern Regions must attend, including the Immortal Palace, the Jade Pool, the Dragon Thunder Palace, the Bigwheel Temple, and the Dark Sect. We’d better think up a plan!”

“It sounds reasonable. The Divine Wind Palace should not be the only one to worry about this. We don’t have to worry too much if so many sects collaborate. We and other sects in the Three Western Regions can even unite to think of a solution!” Yu Taixuan did not object to Hong Taihe’s words this time, which was rarely seen. Instead, he quite approved of what he had said. “Zhou Bao must come here too. He is so powerful, he should take the responsibility to protect the Heaven Realm World!”

“Then, we will rely on you to persuade him!” Hong Taihe smiled. There was a hint of irony in the depth of his eyes. Yu Taixuan was over-confident. He even thought that he had a way to control Zhou Bao at this moment.

“But that’s just fine. He should suffer a huge setback!” Hong Taihe thought secretly.

“What a damn meeting! Why should I have to attend?!” Zhou Bao was giving directions to his son and daughter on martial arts and Divine Sense in the Wuyang Region. When he heard the news, he looked quite angry. “I will never attend it. Tell them to get lost and that I have no time to entertain them!”

“Yes!”

Zhou Bao had absolute authority in the Wuyang Region. His subordinates would never question any of his decisions. After receiving his order, they immediately drove the messengers away.

“Are you taking it too far? In any event, my father’s seal is in the letter!”

“Your father is not a puppet anymore. How can he still be influenced by that bunch of bastards in the Divine Wind Palace and ask me to go there? He is not a fool. He surely knows that the reason I closed the Wuyang Region was to avoid trouble. However, he seems to want me to be involved in trouble. He’s really very ‘kind’!”

“Actually, he cannot do things of his own free will!”

“What? Did he send you a letter too?” When Zhou Bao saw Yan Yunfei’s awkward facial expression, his face suddenly fell. “You haven’t promised him, have you?”

“Of course I haven’t. Without your promise, I will not agree on this kind of matter privately!” Yan Yunfei rolled her eyes at Zhou Bao. “However, you should also consider my father’s standpoint!”

“What damn standpoint! He is muddleheaded due to practicing the Way of the Emperor. I can definitely see through what is going on in his mind. Tell him not to think too much. He should be content with being the Human Emperor candidate. He can never get rid of the title of being a candidate in his entire life. He’d better give up his wishful thinking!” Zhou Bao waved his hand repeatedly. “Moreover, starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to leave the palace for the next 10 days!”

“Why?!” Yan Yunfei was someone who could not bear staying indoors, especially after having children. She liked to take them out to run around. Now Zhou Bao suddenly made her stay in the palace for 10 days. She simply could not accept it.

“I’m going to conduct a thorough clean-up in the Wuyang Region. For the sake of your safety, I’m not allowing you to leave the palace!” Zhou Bao waved his hand and added, “Many dangerous people have sneaked into the Wuyang Region. If I don’t wipe them out, I cannot ensure your safety!”

“You’re right. By the way, my father made me tell you one more thing!”

“And what’s that?!”

“He knows a clue to one of the Ancient Divine Palaces!”
