Chapter 579: Closing a Deal

“His cultivation hasn’t even reached Level Eight, but he still dares to eye on Ji Yeyue?” Hearing White Tiger’s explanation, Zhou Bao almost burst into laughter.

“But his status is equivalent to Ji Yeyue’s, and he is the fittest candidate in the Yu family to become her husband!” White Tiger insisted, apparently believing this could actually happen. “Yu Nantian and Yu Nancheng are both legitimate sons of Yu Taixu, while Ji Yeyue is a talent of Jade Pool who has the greatest chance to be promoted as a Lord of Heaven over the past 10,000 years. Judging by the character of Yu Taixu, he will never allow his son to become a son-in-law of Jade Pool for merely a woman. On the other hand, Jade Pool will never allow the wedding of this great talent they encountered once in a blue moon, either. Therefore, if the Divine Wind Palace really wants to get on good terms with Jade Pool, that Yu Nanchuan shall be the fittest guy to be a son-in-law of Jade Pool!”

“Then, I’d better kill him!” Giving it a thought, Zhou Bao said straightforwardly. “Do you have any good advice?”

“You aren’t really having an affair with Ji Yeyue, are you?”

“So far we are just friends. However, if later she asks me for help, I will certainly stick up for her. I prefer to deal with him right now since he hasn’t been alarmed yet rather than letting him strike out later!” Zhou Bao said snickering. “Anyway, this guy is craving for what he is not worthy of. Death just serves him right!”

“Serves him right? How could you say this with such playfulness!” Hearing that, White Tiger almost hoped he could give Zhou Bao a hard kick. “Now it’s not the time for thinking of only those mere trifles, let’s figure out how to handle the matter of the Infinite Star Sea. You’ve been there once and rescued those two back, so tell me, is this Infinite Star Sea really a tricky place as it is described?”

“I’m afraid it’s even trickier than that!” When they mentioned the Infinite Star Sea, Zhou Bao forced a smile and said, “To be honest, this Infinite Star Sea has been in complete control of the Purple Scorpion Star Area and the Milky Way Star Area, neither of which is something that we’re able to fight against. The Purple Scorpion Star Area has 13 macro worlds, which constitutes a huge alliance. Though we cannot say that it resembles the area in antiquity times, where Genuine Immortals were as plenty as clouds and Human Immortals were as numerous as raindrops, those who have become immortals there are still unparalleled regarding of those in our Seven-deity Regions. Moreover, it is said that there are still some Human Immortals living in these two Star Areas today!”

“Human Immortals?” White Tiger said, whose expression obviously went depressed. “If it is true, this matter will be kind of troublesome. However, those two guys are truly reckless, they ruined the Transmitting Formation the moment they got back. Could this Infinite Star Sea really be that formidable?”

“Well, they’re not to blame. They’re just terrified by that place.” At this time, Zhou Bao even started to put in good words for these two. “They were caught by an influence called Yuelang Cliff, whose strength is beyond my imagination. This simple influence placed a Genuine Immortal in the Lord of Heaven Realm in the Cumulus Star. Do you know what this means? Look at those Lord of Heavens in our Seven-deity Regions. All of them just lie in their own nest to conduct closed-door training and comprehend the ways of the world. Have you ever seen any of them show their faces in public like those in the Infinite Star Sea did? The reason for these two destroying the Transmitting Formation so fast is that they’re worried that maybe someone can find out our location in the hollow through that Transmitting Formation and bring us more troubles!”

“Well, you cannot talk like that, but those two are too afraid of facing challenges, and they even destroyed the Transmitting Formation that our Highest Elders need to get back to the Seven-deity Regions, causing such a loss for us all of a sudden. No matter what, this is something we can never afford!”

The secret conversation between Zhou Bao and White Tiger was conducted in a low volume, but their words still could not be concealed from those in the surroundings, because those who were qualified to participate in the discussion in this hall were all experts at or above Level Nine, most of which were even immortals.

Looking up, Zhou Bao saw the man who spoke just now was an Elder of the School of Five Virtues in the Divine Wind Palace. This Elder was not the supervisor of that school, but his cultivation was not weak at all. He was a Genuine Immortal who had undergone one Thunder Tribulation and his face demonstrated pure righteousness.

Zhou Bao merely gave a smile and ignored him. He had no good impression from guys of the School of Five Virtues, but now it was not a good time for starting conflicts. Thus, Zhou Bao just pretended he hadn’t not heard his previous words.

Seeing Zhou Bao not evening bothering to spare a glance for him, the Elder of the School of Five Virtues instantly displayed his anger on his face. However, thinking about the dreadful combat capability of Zhou Bao, his anger immediately turned into a stream of grievance and rushed right into his mind.

“Well, they’ve told you all about the Infinite Star Sea, and I have nothing else to say. As to this matter of the Transmitting Formation, you guys do as you see fit. Anyway, it’s not me who destroyed it!” Saying this, Zhou Bao turned around and intended to depart.

“Wait for a second! King Wuyang, you cannot leave for the moment!” This time, it was Yu Taiming who spoke. “The matter of the Infinite Star Sea is of great importance. Among those who are present today, you are the one who knows the most about it. Therefore, there are some issues I need to consult with you!”

“What to consult? Now that the Transmitting Formation has been ruined, do you still have any other way to get to the Infinite Star Sea?”

“Indeed, the Transmitting Formation connecting to our Seven-deity Regions has been ruined, but it is not the only Transmitting Formation connecting the Infinite Star Sea with the Heaven Realm!” Yu Taiming said, shaking his head. “King Wuyang may have forgotten, but the Rolling Dragon King from the Sea Area has arrived in the Infinite Star Sea as well, and he could not have done this by using the Transmitting Formation of our Seven-deity Regions, could he?”

“Sea Area? You want to use the Transmitting Formation of the Sea Area?” Zhou Bao felt a bit confused.

“We need to know the real strength of the Infinite Star Sea!” Elder Qing suddenly opened his mouth at this moment. “For those Highest Elders who have gone to the Infinite Star Sea, we can’t leave them there. But temporarily we can put aside the thought of using the Transmitting Formation of Sea Area and try to negotiate with the Three Western Regions so as to borrow their Transmitting Formation!”

“Three Western Regions also have a Transmitting Formation leading to the Infinite Star Sea?” Right now, Zhou Bao was really confused.

“Since there is one in the Four Eastern Regions and one in the Sea Area, then, there must be another in the Three Western Regions!” Elder Qing answered with certainty. “Years ago when the Jade Emperor launched his Great Heaven Divine Sense to move me from the Central Star Area in the Heaven Realm to this Star Area, that action was mainly for evading the upcoming disaster. However, he didn’t cut off any passageways connecting to other Star Area or the chance to return to the Central Star Area. Now it seems that this Infinite Star Sea is the most crucial link that Jade Emperor left for us to return to the Central Star Area. Meanwhile, the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area have been in existence since antiquity times. Thus, I believe, there must be a Transmitting Formation in the Three Western Regions!”

“You are not asking us to go to the Three Western Regions again, are you?”

“Right, we do have this idea. The strength of the Infinite Star Sea is matchless. Even though our Highest Elders have excellent cultivation, they are outnumbered by their enemies. In such a strange Star Area, it is easy for them to get in danger. Thus, we have to send someone to come to their aid. This matter not only concerns our Four Eastern Regions but also concerns the overall strength of the entire Seven-deity Regions or even the Heaven Realm itself. Therefore, the Three Western Regions definitely shouldn’t just sit back and watch all of this. Well, of course, we will coordinate everything so you guys won’t have to travel across the vast Sea Area like you did the last time!”

“Hold on, you said what? ‘You guys’? You are not sending me there again!”

“Taking account of your strength and your experience, you are our best choice!” Elder Qing let out a sigh of resignation, and then looked at Yan Yuntian, who had been sitting in the center of the hall but had not said a word, and asked, “Your Majesty, I beg your advice!”

“Yes, he is indeed the best choice!” Yan Yuntian nodded as well. “King Wuyang, an able man is always busy. This matter shall be handled by no one other than you!”

“Are you sure? I just got back, and now I have to go out again?” Extreme unwillingness crossed Zhou Bao’s face. “How about this…Great Dark Lord Du and Yukun Buddha also just got back from the Infinite Star Sea, and they can be said to be pretty familiar with that place. Plus, they just stirred more trouble here, why not send them there so that they can also redeem themselves by making new contributions? If so, you can kill two birds with the same stone, can’t you?”

“We’re willing to go!” Yukun Buddha and Great Dark Lord Du were not fools. Hearing Zhou Bao’s words, they both yelled at the same time. Right now, they could not pay attention to think about how dangerous this Infinite Star Sea was. After all, they had already ruined the Transmitting Formation on a whim and put themselves in an extremely dangerous situation. Despite that they enjoyed high status in their respective sects, when compared to those Highest Elders, they were as unimportant as ants. Not killing them on site after they made such a blunder was already an exceptionally lenient treatment for them. If they further refused to help fix this, even if they somehow managed to stay alive, the consequence they should bear would not be much better than death either.

“Of course they should go. However, their strength is too low to accomplish this. Thus, we still need you to do this in person!” Elder Qing said while shaking his head. Then, he glared at these two and went on, “Relax, this time it won’t be risky to go to the Three Western Regions. All you need to do is just to take those Highest Elders back. Plus, we won’t let you do this for free!”

“So that means there are some benefits for me, right?” After giving this a thought, Zhou Bao still kept shaking his head. “I’m afraid this can not be that simple. I’ve breed deep enmity with the Yuelang Cliff by killing one Lord of Heaven and one young master of them last time. Although they may not know it was me who did this yet, with their resourceful means they can certainly find out the cause and effect of this matter. If I guessed right, now the entire Infinite Star Sea is in action. They are ferreting out foreign arrivers like us. Maybe conflicts have already incurred. So this time, going to the Infinite Star Sea will be much riskier than the last time!”

“That’s why you have to go!” Elder Qing sighed. “Previously, in order to aid them in the Infinite Star Sea, a large portion of our Highest Elders from the five biggest sects have gone to the Infinite Star Sea. Therefore, our strength is now considerably reduced. At present, given that the situation of the Infinite Star Sea is so complicated, you are all we’ve got!”

“What about the benefits?” Zhou Bao asked while slightly squinting his eyes.

“A Taihao Fairy Weapon!”

“What? No, this can’t be!”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Fairy weapon! How could this be possible? No!”

The moment Elder Qing said those words, the crowd in the hall started an uproar. They were all taken aback by Elder Qing’s words. One fairy weapon? He must be kidding!

“Yes, one fairy weapon. As long as you accomplish this mission smoothly, we, the five biggest sects and the Dark Sect will jointly send you a fairy weapon as a reward. What do you think?” Ignoring the clamor around him, Elder Qing just fixed his eyes on Zhou Bao and asked.

“Deal! But, I won’t take that Green Pith Leaf!”
