Chapter 822: Sacred Fire Bead

The Emperor Baiqi!

He was one of the nine Emperors of Earthly Immortals and supreme rulers of the Seven Mysteries World. And his relationship with the Emperor Hulong was not amicable, as Zhou Bao learned from the news and newspapers.

In fact, since there were nine Emperors, six forces controlled by six Emperors in the macro world and the other three Emperors, as old as they were, remained in the background to reconcile the contradictions between the six.

The Emperor Baiqi and the Emperor Hulong both entered the Earthly Immortal Realm at the end of antiquity times. As a result of the relationship between the two men, their forces did tit for tat for many years, which was a secret known in the Seven Mysteries World. Now the Emperor Hulong suffered heavy losses in fighting with Zhou Bao, and his enemy, Emperor Baiqi, showed Zhou Bao kindness. Not a bad thing for Zhou Bao. But how did the Emperor Baiqi discover him in the first place, when he moved undetectable?

“About 400,000 years ago, the Seven Mysteries World set up a magic formation to monitor every corner here, so as soon as you appeared in this macro world, the Emperor knew.”

“Is there monitoring?” Zhou Bao paused for a moment before he smiled. It seemed that the rulers of civilized societies all possessed this quirk.

“Since I’m here, I may as well stay and make the best of it. Lead the way,” Zhou Bao said, following Zhou Ning.

The position of Emperor Baiqi in the Seven Mysteries World ranked extremely high, and his residence certainly was magnificent. Not that he liked it, but as a ruler of a macro world, living in a thatched house was impossible. He was not one of those Earthly Immortals hidden in the depths of the Seven Mysteries World after all.

Zhou Ning acted humble in front of Zhou Bao. But as a trusted subordinate of the Emperor Baiqi, he held a very high position in the Seven Mysteries World, only second to those Emperors, and was so privileged that he didn’t need to obey the rules at all. Besides, he even controlled some of the magic formations of inhibition, without subject to the restrictions. Thus, he broke through the space with a swift palm thrust, passed several layers of space with Zhou Bao and entered the infinite space.

This infinite space’s inferiority to that of the Heaven Realm World showed. Much less complication, but very average in its construction. Zhou Ning’s familiarity with this place soon brought Zhou Bao to the destination.

“Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain!”

Standing in a space like a fairyland, Zhou Bao froze, because what he saw was not Mist Dragon House, but Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain.

This mysterious sect disappeared in the Heaven Realm World according to the news of the Seven Mysteries World and appeared in the infinite space of the Seven Mysteries World, far away from the Heaven Realm World. For a while, Zhou Bao stared in awe.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw you, King Wuyang!”

“Taoist Qing Feng?”

A figure appeared before him and greeted him with a warm smile.

“Yes, I’m Qing Feng!” Qing Feng said, his joyous smile like a crescent moon. “Thank you for helping us solve a formidable enemy!”

“A formidable enemy? He he, to you, he’s just a buffoon, not a formidable enemy at all.” Zhou Bao said hurriedly.

The Torrential Thunder Emperor harbored a hatred for Fifth Manor, and Zhou Bao helped with it. But Fifth Manor was so powerful that they didn’t need any help. They asked him for assistance, perhaps just to make a good connection with him. Zhou Bao dare not take the credit.

“Last time I left in a hurry, and didn’t visit you. Please forgive me!”

“Haha, surely you jest. What you did was unexpected, but it prevented the Seven-deity Regions from plunging the people into misery and suffering. You really did a great job!” Qing Feng thought what Zhou Bao had done was funny. “The best part was that you fooled all the people who were plotting in the dark!”

Zhou Bao forced a smile. He would not have done so if it not been for the emergency. After all, those people plotting in the dark were not pushovers.

Qing Feng gripped his stomach and laughed. “Oh, that’s all. Otherwise, my junior brother and Ming Yue will kick me to death!”

“It turned out that the Emperor Baiqi was the junior brother of Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the disciple of Zhen Yuanzi. That explains it.” Zhou Bao thought to himself.

The Mist Dragon House was one of the holy places of the Seven Mysteries World. Few people knew that it was actually an ancient tree. The Emperor Baiqi constructed the tree into a grand palace with some Divine Sense. Now, due to the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain here, the ancient tree had been hidden inside Fifth Manor, in a different yard from the withered ginseng fruit tree. In Zhou Bao’s eyes, a very strange occurrence.

“I was originally an old pine in Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain. Under the guidance of my master, I practiced, and achieved what I have now!”

Hearing the explanation of the Emperor Baiqi, Zhou Bao furrowed brow lowered, as did his suspicions.

The Emperor Baiqi was thin, wearing a dark blue robe. His face wrinkled and weathered, but he was tall with straight posture, looking like an ancient pine. Next to him stood Zhou Bao’s acquaintance, Taoist Ming Yue.

“Pay respect to Your Majesty!”

“King Wuyang, long time no see! When did you become so polite?” Ming Yue smiled, “You weren’t like this before.”

“I can’t be lucky all the time. I’d better be respectful in case of offense. After all, I have to think about the whole macro world now.” Zhou Bao grinned, which made the three men laugh.

After catching up, they entered Fifth Manor, and took their seats according to their identities. After serving tea, Zhou Ning took his leave, leaving only Zhou Bao, the Emperor Baiqi, Qing Feng and Ming Yue in the room.

“I take the liberty of asking you to come this time for me and Ming Yue!” Qing Feng stated their purpose directly.

“For you two?” Zhou Bao looked up at them with a puzzled expression on his face. “They are both Zhen Yuanzi’s disciples. If they get into trouble, they can ask their master for help. What do they want me to do?”

“Has my strength and function completely surpassed their master’s?”

“Why don’t they come to me instead of the Immortal Zhen Yuan? What’s goes on here?”

Seeing Zhou Bao’s perplexed expression, they, as people who have lived for countless years, immediately understood what raced through Zhou Bao’s thoughts. Then Ming Yue smiled and said, “It’s actually pretty simple. Qing Feng and I are the only disciples of our master who haven’t stepped into the Earthly Immortal Realm, and it has been delayed for millions of years. We are a disgrace to our master.”

Even the usually thick-skinned Ming Yue could not help blushing at the mention of this. It was indeed surprising they had not broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm for millions of years, with an incomparable teacher and a group of powerful senior brothers, not to mention a wonderful practicing place.

With these favorable conditions, no matter how difficult the Earthly Immortal Realm seemed, it took an ordinary person with poor aptitudes tens of thousands of years at most to prevail. But the two of them wasted millions of years at this state. What was the concept of millions of years? How on earth could they live so long?

“Oh, it’s a shame,” Qing Feng sighed, “Ming Yue and I have a strange history. We excelled in the early stages, but we are stuck in the Earthly Immortal Tribulation.”

“Earthly Immortal Tribulation?”

“Yes, Earthly Immortal Tribulation. In fact, our cultivation has long been to the Full Closure of the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, we have not been able to undergo tribulations, so we have to ask for your help.”

“I do not quite understand.”

“Both of us are reincarnated persons. We lived in ancient deity times in previous lives and done many evils. In the practice of this life, the master aided us in the previous Tribulations, but he cannot assist us in the Earthly Immortal Tribulation, and we are unable to undergo it by ourselves, so we have been in this state for countless years.”

“So, how can I help?”

“The Celestial Punishment Palace!” Ming Yue said, “We know that you defeated Emperor Hulong and seized his incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon Celestial Punishment Palace. Our hopes of ridding our tribulations are on it!”

“Celestial Punishment Palace,” Zhou Bao said, sighing in relief. The incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon proved powerful, but it was neither essential nor indispensable to him. Since they needed it, he felt comfortable to give it to them. But soon, he dismissed the idea. Although he owned numerous fairy weapons and celestial devices, he was not generous enough to hand over the incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon for free. It took a lot of effort for him to get it. How could he simply donate it? What was more, there were many suspicious things about their claims, and he could not trust them yet.

“Maybe they really need the Celestial Punishment Palace to get rid of the tribulations, but my Celestial Punishment Palace was just a replica. Have they not attempted to seize it within so many years in the Immortal Realm? Besides, in antiquity times, the Punishing Emperor controlled the Celestial Punishment Palace, and it was a set of three fairy weapons. Why didn’t they inquire at that time, but wait so many years to use my fake one. It’s too bizarre.” Moreover, he also couldn’t understand what he possessed that deserved such attention of Fifth Manor.

“I know it sounds absurd, but assure you it’s true. We have no other choice!”

“Oh, never mind. I just got it. If you want to use it, it’s no problem!” After a little thought, Zhou Bao took out the Celestial Punishment Palace and handed to them. The original appearance of the Celestial Punishment Palace, a palm-sized golden gear, flashed a streak of murderous intent.
