Chapter 393: The Scheme of the Divine Wind Palace
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
This was the place where the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins gathered!
This was what Earth Bat of Girl had told him. He was well-versed in Fengshui and had discerning eyes. He once told Zhou Bao that Wuyang Region was the place where the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins gathered, and if one occupied this place, one could establish a dynasty of ten thousand years, a legendary Divine Dynasty.
Zhou Bao, though not in favor of taking on the role of emperor, knew the importance of Earth Bat of Girl’s words.
“Is this the underground area of my Wuyang Region? And the original convergency point of the so-called Nine Dragons and these chained dragons are the source of Nine Strips of Dragon Veins!”
Walking along the huge black chains, Zhou Bao finally saw clearly that there was a hollow space above his head.
A strange place indeed, where one side was underground, and the other was up above with an unfilled space.
The dragons that were bound by the black chains served as the dividing line.
“It’s really an odd place! But, eh, there are more than nine dragons. There seems to be 81 dragons!” Zhou Bao was shocked to see the huge number of dragons overhead. Just as he was about to leap out and explore the infinite hollow overhead, he suddenly froze in his tracks. In a flash, he hid in the shadows, fully exerting his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, and kept very silent.
Almost at the same time, the spatial fluctuation split open, and two figures suddenly appeared in the area.
Zhou Bao saw distinctly that one of them was tall and looked to be well over 60 years old, wearing sackcloth and straw sandals. There seemed to be no sign of life emanating from him, just like Zhou Bao who had been exerting his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. And because of this, Zhou Bao could not gauge what his strength was like.
The other man was tall and noble looking, with an upright figure and a dignified face. When they arrived, they didn’t survey the area first but went directly to the 81 dragons that were bound by chains, as if they were certain that there would be no one here.
“Old Ma, we’ve found four places of Nine Dragons convergency, but there are still five more to be found. It’s really a bit of a hassle. Please try to hasten things along, the lord doesn’t want to wait too long!”
“Not willing to wait too long? Hehe, you Divine Wind Palace are taking things too lightly! You think this is merely a game of hide-and-seek, and they can be easily found? 81 Ancient Celestial Dragons have been divided into nine parts of Nine Dragons convergency. This was the way of Great Necromancers in the olden times! If it were so easy to find them, all of the 81 dragon veins would be gathered in one place and you could reestablish the Heavenly Court now!”
“Precisely! It is because it is not an easy task and that is why we invited you to carry out the search, Master Ma!” The noble man’s tone was very mellow, and quite different from the arrogant tones of the experts from Divine Wind Palace. “It’s a matter of great importance to the Divine Wind Palace. I need to trouble you with regards to that, Master Ma!”
“Very well, I’ll try my best. I’ll try my best. Give me 10 years. 10 years at most for me to find the nine places of Nine Dragons convergency. But there is a precondition that the nine places must not be discovered by anyone else first. Otherwise, if the fate of the Nine Strips of Dragon Veins was suppressed, it would cause a lot of problems!”
“There are not many people who have this ability, so it should not be difficult to find. You’re responsible for checking on the movements of the spirit vein, and we’re responsible for spying on those families to see if there are any suspicious activities going on in their homes. To suppress the dragon vein Qi of the Nine Dragons convergency isn’t easy. As long as they are up to something, we Divine Wind Palace will easily get wind of it!”
“Okay, that should be fine. As long as you have the full control of these 81 dragon veins, and gather their fate together, your Divine Wind Palace’s big deal is half way through. Even if you were to fail in the end, no one would be able to match your prosperous fate within 100,000 years!”
“Then please!” The man nodded and gave a slight bow to Master Ma. In a flash, he disappeared from Master Ma’s side.
“81 Dragons convergency, the Divine Wind Palace is really so ambitious!” Hidden in the darkness, Zhou Bao was speechless after overhearing their conversation. The place of Nine Dragons convergency was enough to establish a Divine Dynasty of ten thousand years, just imagine what could be established in the place of 81 Dragons convergency?
Perhaps there was only one place that could withstand the formidable fate.
The Heavenly Court!
The legendary Primordial Celestial Court unified all sectors of the world, and was a supreme influence that ruled over all realms. Only Heavenly Court required and could withstand such incredible fate.
Otherwise, even the most blessed of people would be driven to death by the incredible fate. And Zhou Bao believed that he was no exception.
“Unexpectedly the Divine Wind Palace had found such a place and also the right man to help them search for the dragon veins. By comparison, those influences, including the Immortal Palace, were too laggy. No one was aware of their actions. Of course, they may have noticed it, but had to endure it.” But Zhou Bao thought it was extremely unlikely.
“Eh?” Suddenly, the old man in sackcloth who was observing the direction of the dragon vein made a slight sound. Zhou Bao’s heart sank. The old man stood in the place where Zhou Bao had appeared, and had a surprised look on his face.
“Gosh!” Immediately, Zhou Bao understood what had happened. Without thinking, he aimed a finger at the old man in the sackcloth.
The Great Fusion Technique!
“Bastard!” Realizing that something was wrong, the old man in sackcloth, however, did not think that Zhou Bao would attack instantly and the first blow was the mighty Divine Sense. Before he could dodge, he was struck by the Great Fusion Technic.
“Ah, the Great Fusion Technic, Evil Fire Kylin? No!” After being hit, the old man’s body, began to melt slowly, like dripping candle wax. But he did not die instantly, and there was no fear in his face, only a little expression of surprise.
Hiss!
On the contrary, after seeing this, Zhou Bao gasped. The old man’s body had melted and so did the surrounding space. The burned-out space formed a hole that connected the endless hollow, producing a powerful suction which sucked in all the air around. The body which, by now, resembled a melted candle, however, was not affected by this suction.
“He’s not dead!” Although the thing that had melted appeared to be lifeless, Zhou Bao still felt a strong sense of danger.
“Damn it!”
Once again, Zhou Bao raised his hand. Instead of the Great Fusion Technic, fierce black and red Sword Qi gushed out of his fingertips. Then it disappeared!
It was the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!
The aggressive murderous intent was able to exterminate the soul, the “thing” finally moved.
Then it disappeared!
It was like the launching of the Three Realms Division. Zhou Bao did not sense the spatial fluctuation, but felt a chill in the heart.
Rustle!
The dark golden Gang Qi, which surrounded Zhou Bao, burst into flames and it looked like a huge firework display in the night sky. The overbearing power did not manage to break through Zhou Bao’s Gang Qi, but the tremendous impact flung Zhou Bao and his Gang Qi more than 100 feet away.
“Guy, you don’t have the strength to kill me!” The voice of the old man in sackcloth was ringing in Zhou Bao’s ear, and before he could react, another great force came.
A mass of Cyan haze suddenly rose in the air, surrounded by a cloud of pink Gang Qi.
Rustle!
“Eh?” When the great force hit the third time, Zhou Bao heard a surprised exclamation. Eventually Zhou Bao took a breather, and found that the waxy thing had turned back into the old man in sackcloth. The Great Fusion Technic had no effect on him at all, but now he looked a little grey. The grey Qi surrounding him looked alive, and tried to drive away the pink spirit that was on his body and the black spirit that was in it.
The power of the Poison Cold Shield and the Peach Blossom Miasma were finally seen at this moment. The Great Fusion Technic did not do any harm to the old man in sackcloth, but he seemed to be afraid of the poisonous fumes and feared the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. After all, now Zhou Bao’s Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword no longer only had the shape of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi as before. After the fusion of his own killing intent, Zhou Bao had initially mastered the power of this powerful special technique, and was able to manoeuvre the Sword Qi that could kill souls and tear everything apart.
The cyan haze wrapping the black and red Sword Qi was once again directed at the old man.
“Guy, you’re courting death!” The old man’s face had turned blue. With a wave of his hand, a flash of purple light around his body blocked Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi, and he disappeared into the purple light.
“He is too fast. I can’t keep up with him unless I start Fiery Eyes!” Zhou Bao was secretly scared, but he did not use his Fiery Eyes. The old man in sackcloth was so powerful that Zhou Bao was not sure if he could kill him on the spot. It would not be good for him if his Fiery Eyes had been exposed. Besides, the old man feared his Poison Cold Shield, and would not attack him as freely as he had done.
As expected, the great force that had shocked his Gang Qi did not come, nor did any attack from the old man in sackcloth. The old man stopped at the place where he was about 100 feet away, and was shrouded in a purple mist.
“Who are you? How did you get in here? Why are you attacking me?”
“Hump!” Zhou Bao’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could not gauge what was the old man’s strength earlier, but now after he had seen him in action, he knew a little of it.
He had the cultivation of Genuine Immortal. But like Taihai Sage, he did not experience the second Thunder Tribulation. He was a Genuine Immortal regarded as Sage.
He should have several powerful celestial devices that concealed his cultivation. Having found out about his strength, Zhou Bao was relieved and did not answer his question, but disappeared on the spot in a flash.
The Three Realms Division!
At the next moment, he was next to the old man in sackcloth. The cyan haze which enclosed a stray of black and red Sword Qi violently stabbed into the purple mist.
