Chapter 532: A Different Royal Capital

The ship had a length of 1,290 feet. It had a sleek and silver-gray hull with dark blue patterns engraved on it. Besides these patterns, there were also some honeycomb-like patterns.

1,290 feet, this was the fixed length of the battleship after it had appeared.

Yes, this was its fixed length. That is to say, this Supreme Fairy Weapon could either be taken into Zhou Bao’s body or remain as it currently length where its size would not change.

Eyeing the gorgeous and peerless battleship in front of him, Zhou Bao took a very deep breath, waved his hand, and watched the battleship shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it changed to a silver dot the size of a rice grain and swiftly entered between his eyebrows.

Boom!

Once this fairy weapon entered his body, Zhou Bao felt the place between his own eyebrows explode with a blast. The pneuma arising from the fairy weapon surged out as if there was a sudden opening in the big Yangtze River’s flow. Gushes of pneuma rushed into his body, tendons, meridians, and Dantian, threatening to explode his body.

“Poof!” The Real Body of Zhuyan also could not help but tremble. Under such a powerful force of pneuma, even the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan’s tendons and meridians could not resist it. However, at this point, Zhou Bao was in a difficult situation. He used all his might to activate his Eight Nine Mysterious Skill to absorb and refine the gushes of pneuma from the Supreme Fairy Weapon.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack…

The originally thousands of feet tall Real Body of Zhuyan inflated once more. Within a span of a few breaths, its size multiplied by one fold, two folds, three folds, four folds!

It was only when it reached a height of 8,000 feet that it finally stopped.

“What is this?! A greeting?!” Zhou Bao groaned inwardly. Under Zhou Bao’s control, the Azure Spirit Sea within the battleship was firmly locked, and there was no trace of pneuma leaking out at all. However, the pneuma within Zhou Bao still needed further digestion. Otherwise, if it would wreck chaos in his body, he would die without knowing how he died.

With great difficulty, these pneumas were finally transformed into Mysterious Divine Light. It was incorporated into Zhou Bao’s body and strengthened it. Simultaneously, Zhou Bao’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

The benefits were so great, too great.

Just like keeping a Pure Yang Celestial Device within one’s body could nourish one’s tendons and meridians, fairy weapons could do that too.

As for an average practitioner, possessing one Pure Yang Celestial Device was sufficient to nourish one’s body even if one was a Venerable Realm Genuine Immortal. The longer the time frame, the stronger the body would become under the nourishment of Pure Yang Qi. However, for Zhou Bao, his body had already strengthened to an unbelievable degree after practicing the Real Body of Zhuyan. An ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device could not nourish his body anymore. This had been the bottleneck of Zhao Bao’s practice for a long time. If he were to practice in the real world, every inhalation of pneuma could exhaust the entire Wuyang Region’s pneuma, and it would still not be enough to meet his needs. Hence, what he truly needed was to do closed-door training to practice within the Sea of Divine Power in the Azure Big World. It was only places like the Azure Big World that could meet his needs for practicing.

Usually, he relied on the Furnace of Immortality to carefully nourish his body. The Furnace of Immortality was, after all, a fairy weapon; it still had great nutrition value for Zhou Bao’s physical body as well as for the Real Body of Zhuyan. However, this nourishing property was less than the one from the newly refined Supreme Fairy Weapon; it simply paled into insignificance by comparison.

This Fairy Weapon would not talk reason at all. If one did not control it, it would directly provide large amounts of pneuma from its energy source for your cultivation. It was Zhou Bao’s luck that he had the Real Body of Zhuyan. If not, his body would have exploded under the previous attack of pneuma.

However, this newly refined Supreme Fairy Weapon was, after all, still made by Zhou Bao, and thus had his brand of life. Therefore, to control the Supreme Fairy Weapon’s pneuma airflow was not an extremely difficult task.

“Seems like I can enjoy all the benefits of this Supreme Fairy Weapon endlessly!” Zhou Bao laughed in his heart. “However, this thing’s power is too great, and it attracts too much attention. With this Supreme Fairy Weapon, I can even kill a Genuine Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm. Damn, I can kill that bunch of bastards!”

It was very beautiful to dream of this scene. Yet, Zhou Bao knew that it was wiser to go easy. “Does that Jing XIII think that I can’t see it myself? Using the Azure Spirit Sea to replace the energy source would only solve problems temporarily. To really activate this Supreme Fairy Weapon and use all its power would require huge amounts of pneuma. Although pneuma from the Azure Spirit Sea can’t be used up, for an endless pit like this Supreme Fairy Weapon, it was not possible to use it unlimitedly even if pneuma from the Azure Spirit Sea and the entire Azure Big World was used. Perhaps after a long time, the Azure Big World would become like any ordinary physical world: devoid of pneuma.

Hence, for Zhou Bao to fully take advantage of this Supreme Fairy Weapon, he would require the secret of the Supreme Fairy Weapon’s core, which was a magic formation that could automatically absorb energy from the hollow.

Currently, the Pneuma-gathering Formation in his Supreme Fairy Weapon was only the most rudimentary form of a magic formation and incomplete.

“Seems like I have to look very slowly for an opportunity. The current Pneuma-gathering Formation can only sustain the most basic operation of the fairy weapon. From a Highest Heaven Celestial Device to a Supreme Fairy Weapon – its rank has indeed increased, but so has its energy expenditure. If I don’t use the energy in the Azure Spirit Sea, its speed will only be a tiny fraction of the Silver Frost Castle’s, which could only barely cross the hollow with its speed.”

If one really wanted to be like Zhou Bao and kill a bunch of bastards, then it was a must to absorb pneuma from the Azure Spirit Sea.

However, Zhou Bao did not plan so much in advance. The refining of this Supreme Fairy Weapon was already a surprise, but this surprise brought its own concerns. From this matter, Zhou Bao was sure that Jing XIII harbored secret plans against him. This Supreme Fairy Weapon was only a seductive bait. He knew that with Zhou Bao’s greedy nature, Zhou Bao would definitely be lured in. Once Zhou Bao swallowed this bait, he would have an easy time in the future. Before he tasted the sweetness of the Supreme Fairy Weapon, Zhou Bao would at least execute his plan regarding the energy source. At that point, it would be easy to manage other affairs.

Zhou Bao could see his secret intentions clearly, but he did not really care about them for now. This world was a world that based itself on capabilities. Zhou Bao’s current capability was far greater than Jing XIII’s. Even the two men at the Azure Big World had been absorbed into his Supreme Fairy Weapon to form Highest Heaven Space. The Azure Spirit Sea had been turned into an energy source, and therefore, Zhou Bao was not worried that Jing XIII would play tricks on him.

After receiving the Supreme Fairy Weapon, Zhou Bao looked at the faintly dark hollow surrounding him and swallowed a strong urge to explore it. His body twitched, and with the Infinite Realms Teleportation, he instantly returned to the Wuyang Region. At this point, a total of 10 days had passed.

Refining a Supreme Fairy Weapon seemed easy on the surface. But in reality, the process was super complex. 10 years had passed in the making of the weapon. If it was not for Zhou Bao’s use of the Primitive Dragon Chimera to fixate the Wheel of Time where the flow of a year in that world would only be equivalent to the passing of a day in the real world, he would have returned back to a world where he knew no one after he successfully refined his fairy weapon.

10 days were not very long. However, it was still a few days closer to the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. After returning to the Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao did not see anyone. He returned to the Sea-calming Palace where he slowly reviewed the insights gained from the 10 years of refining this Supreme Fairy Weapon in closed-door training. It was only after he felt confident of his mastery that he stopped his training, opened the hollow, and headed for the Western Capital.

This time around, he did not go to Mingyi Lane. Instead, he headed straight to the Western Capital’s Imperial City. After the previous punishment they went through, the people in the School of Five Virtues should know better than to stir trouble here again.

“What is this? What a rich sense of fate!”

Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Bao tore through the hollow and entered the Royal Capital, he was assaulted by a huge spirit that almost caused him to fall from the air.

His heart suddenly shook. With a flash of his body, he used the Three Realms Division to direct himself to Mingyi Lane. As he gazed towards the Royal Capital, he got the shock of his life.

You know why?

In the sky above the Royal Capital, there was a trail of purple Qi that stretched from the heavens to the earth. That vast, purple Qi had enshrouded the entire Royal City, preventing all evils from invading.

Sure, no evils could invade it. Under this strange Purple Qi in the Western Capital, even a Metaphysic Individual Immortal would be trapped by this Qi. Anyone below the rank of a Genuine Immortal would not even be able to fly with their Gang Qi in the Royal Capital.

Similarly, under this mist of purple Qi, the space around the Western Capital seemed to have gained another layer of protection. For people like Zhou Bao who had the ability to hollow travel, it was not possible to do so in the Western Capital unless one had terrifying powers like Zhou Bao. If not, one could only be suppressed.

“Is it that Yan Yuntian has already become the Human Emperor that there’s such a dense fate?!” Zhou Bao suspected. As he watched the Royal Capital, which was enshrouded in purple Qi, his body flashed again once more, forcibly broke open the hollow, and entered the Royal Capital.

“Who is so audacious to intrude into the Royal Capital?!”

This time, just when he appeared, he heard a shout beside his ear. Following it, a sharp palm wind hit him from his back.

“Stop~~!”

“Noo~~!”

“Be careful~~!”

Bang~~!

A series of shouts followed by a rumbling sound sounded out. A group of shadows were blown hundreds of feet away by a gust of energy and landed on the ground unconsciously.

Facing this sharp palm wind, Zhou Bao neither avoided it nor did he use his Gang Qi; instead, he let it hit his body. Although he did not use the Real Body of Zhuyan, his body had been strengthened by the Mysterious Divine Light and even had the Zhuyan’s bloodline. Who could destroy it?

That man was only of the Level Eight cultivation. His palm punch on Zhou Bao was for him like being bitten by a mosquito. It was, in fact, the Mysterious Divine Light’s massive recoil force that caused that man to suffer.

“My distinguished father-in-law, what a great display of your might! And why? Are you ready to ascend to the position of the Human Emperor?!” Zhou Bao turned his head and looked with a slight smile at Yan Yuntian as if he was the core figure and everything revolved around him.
