Chapter 607: News of the Devil Fetus

Ancient Treasure Ruins.

A group of friends.

A Human Immortal.

These words revealed a message to Zhou Bao: he did not know that much about the world. The world was not as fragile as he thought, and there were some extremely powerful people, even if it wasn’t said. Also, there were Human Immortals outside the Sea Area.

“Human Immortals” should not be looked down upon. The existence of Human Immortals meant that the Seven-deity Regions would be all right, even if they did not destroy the Transmitting Formations that led to the Infinite Star Sea. A Human Immortal could not leave his own macro world for too long; otherwise, he would suffer the Void Thunder Penalty. In other words, even if people from the Infinite Star Sea wanted to capture the Seven-deity Regions, the strongest person would be a Lord of Heaven at most. The difference between a Lord of Heaven and a Human Immortal could be compared to the difference between an Individual Immortal and a Genuine Immortal; a Sage and a Venerable; or a Venerable and a Lord of Heaven. Unless you met a special case like Zhou Bao, the former, no matter how many of them there were, could not compete with the latter.

What was more, it could be gathered from the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch’s words that there was more than one Human Immortal in the Seven-deity Regions.

This was not surprising. A Human Immortal’s lifespan was much longer than that of a Genuine Immortal. Even a Lord of Heaven did not live as long as a Human Immortal. Perhaps it was because of the lack of pneuma that no one in the present world had become a Human Immortal. But tens of thousands of years ago, a select few people had had the chance to become Human Immortals. They had powerful ways to keep and extend their lives. Thus, it was normal for a Human Immortal to still be alive. In fact, they would continue to live for quite some time.

Zhou Bao was at the Mysterious Realm, but his life was far beyond that of an Individual Immortal because he had refined the bloodline of Zhuyan. Zhuyan was a type of Primordial Fierce Beast, one of the Six Royals, and had a lifespan much longer than that of a Human Immortal.

Therefore, it was not surprising that there were Human Immortals in the Seven-deity Regions. On the contrary, it would be strange if there were no Human Immortals.

Zhou Bao didn’t care if he met a Human Immortal. Although he was not sure he could defeat them, he was sure he could run away. And even if he failed to escape, he could use his Supreme Fairy Weapon to deal with them.

It was precisely because of his immense strength that he was oblivious to the six Hidden Treasures.

What if he could explore them and have countless treasures?

Were there Supreme Fairy Weapons?

“I have a Supreme Fairy Weapon, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, two Taihao Fairy Weapons and two Big Iron Hammers that are invincible. Why should I care about ancient Hidden Treasures?”

“I am a Hidden Treasure myself. Why should I bother looking for Ancient Hidden Treasures with a bunch of old men?”

That was his thinking when he refused the Long-eyebrowed Patriarch, and it was true. With all that he had now, he didn’t have to seek the Hidden Treasures. Although it was compelling, they could not offer him any real help.

If it had been a few years ago, he would have been interested because he had not found his way to the future at that time. It was different now. He had identified the path he would take and the path for future practicing. There might not be anything in the Hidden Treasures that would suit him, so he refused without hesitation.

In the days since Zhou Bao’s departure, Wuyang Region had not changed much except to become more prosperous. It was already a large city, and the form of a huge city wall and moat had appeared. On the official road, people, carriages and horses were streaming in. It was lively but orderly. Zhou Bao had never cared about his territory, but he had made a development plan, based on his knowledge from his previous life. This development plan had meant nothing to him in his previous life. However, it achieved good results in Wuyang Region.

Now, the whole northwest region had united, forming a profitable organization dominated by Wuyang Region, with other northwest lords as members. The situation was a bit like the middle ages in Zhou Bao’s previous life. When there were conflicts between these lords, Wuyang Region would mediate. There was no major conflict, and no wars like there had been in the dark middle ages.

On the whole, the entire northwest region was at peace. This was certainly not what the rulers of the Jin wanted to see, but there was nothing they could do.

Zhou Bao’s strength had already surpassed the secular bearing ability. It seemed that no one in the world was able to restrain him now. For most people, King Wuyang who could not only cause trouble, but also find fault, was the last man they dared to offend. The large sects had agreed that as long as he did not disturb them, they would not take action against Zhou Bao.

There was literally no one who would say no to him now, even if he ran amuck in the Four Eastern Regions. But he would not do something so mundane.

After all, a man had to do something meaningful.

Such as accompanying his wife!

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Bao fell into a comfortable life after he came back from Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. The only thing he cared about from day to day was his wife and lovely twins.

For half a year, Wuyang Region was quiet. There was no trace of Zhou Bao in the martial arts world or the higher-level practitioner world. He did not stir up trouble either. It was as if he had disappeared. It was a relief to everybody. Someone as powerful as Zhou Bao really put a lot of pressure on everyone in the Four Eastern Regions. Even if he was now one of the Four Signs as well as one of the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace, the Immortal Palace had no way to suppress this powerful young man.

“You have made it easier for the five biggest sects over the last six months. Are you enjoying it?”

In the back garden of the Lord Mansion, in Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao was sitting at a stone table, with a child in each arm. The two children were playing, oblivious to the depressed Wang She sitting opposite.

“I don’t care if things are easier for them. I don’t want to meddle in too many affairs anyway!” Zhou Bao said lightly, “Your strength has improved rapidly in the last half year. You must have thoroughly refined your Kunpeng Bloodline. You’re ready to break through the final hurdle, aren’t you?”

“Yes, that’s why I came to see you. I don’t want to be in the Golden Book of Fate!”

“What do you want?”

“I want you to help me. The Child-endowing Buddha said you could help me.”

“It’s not difficult. You just need to refine your Real Body in the hollow. Outside of the Heaven Realm, when you break through to the Three Small Realms, your Genuine Spirit isn’t affected by the Golden Book of Fate!” After some contemplation, Zhou Bao realized Wang She’s intention. “But you’re clearly offending the five biggest sects. Aren’t you afraid you’ll get into trouble with them?”

“Humph, I think they can hardly look after themselves now!”

Zhou Bao lifted his eyebrows, “Why? What happened?”

“It’s very strange!” Wang She answered. “You know what happened in the Infinite Star Sea last time?”

“Yes!”

“A disciple from Divine Wind Palace was acting very strange after he came back, causing a lot of trouble. Now he is out of the Divine Wind Palace!”

“Really?!” Zhou Bao was surprised. As the head of the five largest sects of the Four Eastern Regions, Divine Wind Palace not only had powerful strength, it also had very strict rules. No matter which influence this disciple belonged to, he would not gain anything by betraying his sect, and he would surely die. Divine Wind Palace was rich in resources and very generous to its disciples. It was much better to be in Divine Wind Palace than to be a stray practitioner. It seemed incredible to Zhou Bao that a disciple would betray the Divine Wind Palace. Zhou Bao was extremely powerful, but still retained his identity as one of the Four Signs and one of the 28 constellations in Immortal Palace because this identity gave him great protection.

“Did he do the unthinkable because he failed to seduce Yu Taixu’s wife?”

“The unthinkable” was Zhou Bao’s view on the matter.

“He got a Devil Fetus and brought it back to the Heaven Realm. The Devil Fetus likely controls him completely now!” Wang She forced his face into a smile.

“Damn!” Zhou Bao got up abruptly. “He brought a Devil Fetus back to the Seven-deity Regions? No wonder he rebelled. Half a year is enough long for a Devil Fetus to become too powerful for anyone to suppress. He had no way of fully refining it, so he had to run away!”

“Exactly! An Elder of Divine Wind Palace discovered his demonic qi and tried to question him. Unexpectedly, he killed the Elder and left. It startled the whole Divine Wind Palace.”

“Divine Wind Palace is really unfortunate to come across such a thing. No wonder you say they don’t have time to care about you. He-he, the Devil Fetus was brought to the Heaven Realm. I think Dark Sect should be eager for action!”

“Umm, yes. But the only Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect died in the Infinite Star Sea six months ago. Their power is greatly reduced. How could they be indifferent?”

“What? A Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect? Didn’t they only have Dark Lord Red Blood? He was an expert at the peak of the Venerable Realm and had not reached the Lord of Heaven Realm.”

“It’s one of Dark Sect’s secrets. For thousands of years, it’s true that no one in Dark Sect has been able to break through to the Lord of Heaven Realm, but there was a Lord of Heaven in Dark Sect a hundred thousand years ago. It’s been a long time. As his life was drawing to a close, he sealed himself using Dark Sect’s secret method. He was kept by the Highest Elder, the one with the highest cultivation in Dark Sect. Dark Lord Red Blood has the highest cultivation in Dark Sect, so he entered the Infinite Star Sea with him.”

“Then he died there!”
