Chapter 507: Chapter 507

“The tribulation that took place in antiquity times is called Necromancer’s Tribulation. It’s all because of those damned necromancers!” When it came to talking about the tribulation, Mysterious Turtle Sage’s face turned gloomy. “Those necromancers have nothing better to do except to cause troubles. I don’t know what happened exactly. But it is said that a group of necromancers managed to create something extraordinary, and one of them was a puppet. In fact, it’s not clear whether it was a puppet or an incarnation. Anyway, this thing suddenly turned evil and rebelled. It not only killed all the necromancers who had made it, but also started a worldwide massacre. Initially, this was not a big deal as there were a lot of great men who accomplished many things in antiquity times. This thing’s cultivation was equivalent to that of a Human Immortal, which was good but not strong enough to create a lot of problems. However, it had an unexpected ability: to devour the vital essences of living creatures which would in turn strengthen its ability. This ability was passed down from the Primordial Fierce Beasts. There was a limitation to the ability which were confined only to Primordial Fierce Beasts, but not on these things that these necromancers had refined. Thus, after devouring the flesh and blood of some immortals, its power would grow tremendously. Eventually no one could stop it. Most of the 99 Emperors at the time had intervened, and even the Heavenly Court sent in a powerful force. But it was so cunning that it lured all the people to one place and set off a Highest Heaven Celestial Device that had been developed by the necromancers. It then trapped 99 percent of the pursuers, leaving those who manged to escape seriously injured and died shortly after!”

“No way! A Highest Heaven Celestial Device but not a fairy weapon?”

“Yes, it was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, not a fairy weapon. It’s not a fairy weapon, because even though it was powerful, it was a disposable type of weapon. After one use, it would disappear without a trace. Its single use power, though great, was not as powerful as a fairy weapon. But it had a very unique function that could cause abnormalities in a particular area. Who knows how those necromancers came up with it, and why they made it!” At the mention of the necromancers, Mysterious Turtle Sage’s face became fierce and his tone was full of hate. “As soon as this abnormality appeared, it churned up heaven and earth and caused a tribulation. Immortals were unable to escape, and could only put up a struggle. After the tribulation, less than one tenth of the experts survived, and the Uniform Dao of antiquity times gradually declined.”

“How could there be such a thing?” As Zhou Bao listened to the secrets of this tribulation, a thought suddenly occurred to him that these necromancers were much like the scientists from his previous life. They always studied unexplainable things, such as nuclear weapons or the black hole. A mistake could have destroyed the earth. Thinking of these scientists in his previous life, Zhou Bao gave a wry smile and quite understood Mysterious Turtle Sage’s feeling.

However, Mysterious Turtle Sage was only a mountain-guarding holy beast from antiquity times. He did not have access to the true core secrets, having only a general idea about the event. But this was much more than what ordinary people knew, so Zhou Bao was able to get a glimpse of the tribulation.

“So, should you meet a necromancer in the future, no matter who he is and what he is doing, just kill him, in case he harms others, understand?”

Talking about necromancers, Venerable Black Turtle gnashed his teeth in anger and urged Zhou Bao to take his advice. Not wanting to offend Venerable Black Turtle who was talking of his own grievances, Zhou Bao just nodded his head repeatedly.

Venerable Black Turtle had related to him the events from the past, and Zhou Bao could only nod and agree.

As Venerable Black Turtle had said, people were now blinded by greed. If the five biggest sects knew that there was a Primordial Demon sealed in the Infinite Star Sea, they would probably bring along their own fairy weapons to battle against it. No one gave any thought to the danger should they fail. Even if someone did think about it, they were not aware of the full extent of the horrors of the Primordial Demon because it had been so long ago. In the end, driven by greed, people would likely take the risk.

“Then what do you want me to do; Stop them?”

“No, it’s too dangerous and risky. Aren’t you a member of Immortal Palace? This time the five biggest sects are working together to explore the Infinite Star Sea. It’s their first exploration, so they should not venture too far into that sealed off place. All you have to do is follow them and get the message through in time!” Then he pointed to the little monster, which was gnawing on a fish bone on Zhou Bao’s shoulder, and said, “This little monster has mastered the Great Way of Heavens and Realms, and has previously used a Rampart-passing Grass. If anything should go wrong, just ask him to deliver the letter. There should be no inhibitions in the world that could trap him!”

“So awesome?” Zhou Bao looked up at that little monster. Thinking that he had sealed the space around it with only one hand and rendered it helpless so easily before, Zhou Bao asked, “But, just now…!”

“You did it so suddenly that it caught him by surprise. Give him time, he can escape in a hair’s breadth!”

“Really?” Zhou Bao smiled, quickly raised his hand, and tried to catch the little monster again. This time his action was faster and more violent than the last one.

Shoop!

With a gentle sound, the little monster disappeared from their sight. Even though Zhou Bao had sealed the space this time, the little monster slipped through the space wall easily. Then Zhou Bao discovered that the little monster’s fat ass was pointed at his head.

Instantly, he launched the Three Realms Division and flashed out. The stench permeated the study room again.

“Fate Creation Boy asked me to give you this Highest Infinite Talisman. No matter how badly hurt you are, as long as you’re still breathing and conscious, you’ll recover completely from any injury. And your spirit, the demonic spirit and Internal Qi will return to their original state. But there’s only one, and you can only use it once, so keep it well!”

“The Highest Infinite Talisman, how great!” Zhou Bao marveled in his heart and took the Talisman in his hand. Its material was neither silk, nor was it cloth or paper, and there was a layer of green light flashing from it. Zhou Bao didn’t feel any different when he got it. Obviously, all its effects were blocked by the green light. There was also a faint talisman on it, which was as complex and mysterious as that of his Flipping Sky Seal. The only difference was that it was disposable, and his Flipping Sky Seal could be reused.

He felt a twinge of dizziness as he scrutinized the talisman carefully. He couldn’t make out the details.

“Forget it. Even Fate Creation Boy could not make out what it says, let alone you!” Finding Zhou Bao staring at the talisman so intently that his eyes seemed about to pop out, Mysterious Turtle Sage laughed, “Put it away!”

“Okay!” Zhou Bao looked embarrassed and put away the Highest Infinite Talisman.

“In addition, you’ve refined two of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. I know Dharma Power-restoring Skill which is also one of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. I’ll impart it to you now, as a compensation for your help!”

The Dharma Power-restoring Skill!

The Seven Wonderful Techniques!

Zhou Bao was delighted to hear that. The Seven Wonderful Techniques were his most handy secret skill, which contained endless mysteries. With only two of them, he had benefited a lot. Now he had the opportunity to practice the third one. It was a great surprise.

“What will happen if I use the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill together? Umm, if there’s a chance, I must get the Immortal Body Technique from Divine Wind Palace. Then I’ll have four of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, heehee!”

Venerable Black Turtle certainly had no idea that Zhou Bao would come up with the idea of getting the Immortal Body Technique. He immediately taught the way of Dharma Power-restoring Skill to Zhou Bao.

Although the Seven Wonderful Techniques were very complex, the pithy formula and mental cultivation methods of each technique were pretty simple. This was in accordance with the principle that the greatest truths were often the simplest. The text of the Dharma Power-restoring Skill had more than three hundred words, and it filled Zhou Bao with joy. The Heavenly Jade Technique would increase his strength; the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill could retrain his spirit and the Dharma Power-restoring Skill could increase the speed of Qi restoration.

In short, when the Real Essence in Dantian was used up, normally Zhou Bao would need four hours of meditation to fully recover, and to replenish the Dantian with pneuma. Now, if he practiced the Dharma Power-restoring Skill to the extreme, his pneuma could be replenished in a few breaths. There would be no problem with pneuma consumption.

It was much more outlandish than the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skills.

However, the condition was that it had to be practiced to the extreme. As for Zhou Bao, a beginner, he found that the speed of his Qi restoration tripled in an instant after he made a slight attempt to use the Dharma Power-restoring Skill. As for the effect of the combination with the other two wonderful techniques, it remained to be discovered.

“It is great! And the Seven Wonderful Techniques really lives up to its name. They’re really wonderful!”

“Well, I’ve told you everything and now all the tasks have been completed. You’ve learned the Dharma Power-restoring Skill. I have to go!” Seeing Zhou Bao’s surprised look, Venerable Black Turtle realized that his purpose had been achieved, so he took his leave. “This little monster will stay with you. Whenever necessary, put him on display. In Taihua Mountain, Fate Creation Boy never showed it to anyone, so no one would see your connection to us through him!”

“Okay, no problem. Leave this little monster to me!” Zhou Bao stroked the little monster’s head and laughed.
