Chapter 580: Young Master Qi, The History of Being Disappointed

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

No one expected a fairy weapon would be the reward for entering the Infinite Star Sea once again. Everyone knew clearly how valuable a fairy weapon was. One was enough for the Highest Elder of the five biggest sects to offer his life, why were they benefitting Zhou Bao so much?

Thinking about this, they began to be unkind. Just because Zhou Bao was one of the Four Signs of Immortal Palace, Elder Qing had to give him a fairy weapon just like that? Was there really such an easy job on earth?

Hence, when Zhou Bao said “deal”, voices of opposition arose.

“Elder Qing, this is going against the rules!”

“Yes, Elder Qing, we’re talking about fairy weapons, they are the most important assets of our sects, how could just give away one just like that!”

“Yes, yes!”

These voices grew louder gradually and they only meant to convey a message. That is, fairy weapons were too valuable, they could not be given to anyone anyhow.

Elder Qing scoffed and scanned his surrounding with a cold gaze. A strong Qi power arose and instantly shut everyone up.

“Fine, you guys are right, fairy weapons are indeed too valuable and cannot be given to anyone. If that’s the case, can everyone please think, other than Zhou Bao, who else is suitable to do this? If you can think of anyone, then voice it out, and let’s see what conditions he has to offer?!”

One sentence was all it took to shut them up.

It was understandable that they used to not know about the situation in the Infinite Star Sea. Now that they fully understood what was going on and were fully aware of the great strength and the influence in the Star Area, no one was willing to risk going in. Even if a fairy weapon could lure the Highest Elders of Lord of Heaven Realm, their own sects would be unwilling to let them take the risk.

A Lord of Heaven acted as a deterrence to enemies for each sect of the Seven-deity Regions. They were indispensable. Now that the Four Great Sects have already lost a Highest Elder of Lord of Heaven Realm each, they would not agree to lose one more even if they could gain a fairy weapon.

Hence, everyone shut up after hearing Elder Qing’s words.

The palace was filled with silence.

“Okay, since that is the case, then it has been decided!” Seeing that no one voiced up, Yan Yuntian, who had been observing quietly from the side, finally said something. “Zhou Bao, we’ll give you a fairy weapon in exchange for you entering the Infinite Star Sea one more time. Those sitting here are all Elders of each sect. They value good-hearted people. No matter how valuable a fairy weapon is, they’ll make sure they take great care of you!”

“Hopefully!” Zhou Bao scanned the eyes of those present and was able to see all their strange expressions. He did not say much and only smiled lightly before he left the palace. That smile of his triggered the crowd who were smiling scornfully at him.

“What, a fairy weapon, you’re saying the five biggest sects of Four Eastern Regions are going to give Zhou Bao a fairy weapon for him to go to the Infinite Star Sea again?!”

“Yes, Young Master Qi. Based on Zhou Bao’s personality, he’ll ask for the fairy weapon before he set off!”

Right now, far away, in the Three Western Regions, two young good-looking men were talking in a palace in an old holy mountain. Their topic of conversation was Zhou Bao.

If Zhou Bao was here, he would be shocked to realize that one of them was his old enemy Ye Qingtian. Now, Ye Qingtian’s cultivation had already surpassed the Mysterious Realm. Furthermore, he had amazingly reached the peak of it. From head to toe, he gave a fairy-like aura, very unfathomable. The young man in front of him was mysterious too. His cultivation had even reached the Venerable Realm and he gave off a distinguished aura.

“That is to say, if we take action, can we acquire a fairy weapon?!”

“No, not just one, Zhou Bao is not as easy as he looks, he has his own fairy weapons too!”

“What did you say, fairy weapons? He has fairy weapons already?!” Young Master Qi was shocked and almost jumped.

“That’s right. Not many people know about this, but I do clearly. I once went to his Wuyang Region to destroy it. Unexpectedly, he used a vibrant golden light to block my North Pole Frozen Wheel. I was very certain based on the feeling that golden light imposed on me, only a fairy weapon would have such a pressure, only a fairy weapon can resist another fairy weapon!” Ye Qingtian was very sure of what he was saying. “This fella is hiding too well and has too many secrets. Thinking about how he rose to fame till now, it took him less than 10 years. This is incredible. I bet he is just like me, having inheritance from an emperor from antiquity times, and is a complete heir of one of the strongest emperors. If not, how can he achieve something like this in such a short period of time!”

“We did already suspect what you just said!” The white-clothed young handsome man whom Ye Qingtian referred to as Young Master Qi continued to speak eloquently. “This Zhou Bao became successful too fast and too soon. His power is beyond crazy. He even defeated Hong Taihe and an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven at the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. Even though this happened in the Four Eastern Regions, we cannot give up on our investigation on him. Besides, he did have some interaction with Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty!”

“Then, Young Master Qi, you’re trying to say…”

“This is a good chance, although it is hard to grab. The Transmitting Formation was discussed between the five biggest sects of the Four Eastern Regions and the five biggest sects of my Big Western Region. Hence, even if you want to use it, it will be impossible for us the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain to show up. You guys can only use your own strength. This Zhou Bao has fairy weapons and the ability of an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Do you guys have confidence?!”

“What we need is an opportunity!” Hearing Young Master Qi’s tone, Ye Qingtian was delighted. “We will definitely not pull you into the dirty matters. After everything is done, you will definitely enjoy your share of his fairy weapons!”

“Good, if that’s the case, then I’ll wait for you guys’ good news, but I do hope your big brother has the capability!”

“Please just wait for the good news!” Ye Qingtian cupped his hands and said confidently.

“Haha, seems like the Four Great Sects are really giving their all this time, even taking out their fairy weapons!” Zhou Bao caressed the warm fairy weapon in his arms. His tone contained an obvious mockery.

“Do you think you got it for free? If you can’t bring those Lords of Heaven back, we’ll take it back! Furthermore, the Four Great Sects and the Dark Sect may even find trouble for you!”

“Pshh, find trouble for me? How? If they die now, what has that to do with me?!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly and put the fairy weapon in front of his eyes. “Back to topic, the style of this fairy weapon is quite unique, what is it?!”

“We don’t know either!” Speaking of which, Elder Qing shooked his head slightly. “This fairy weapon was found 83,000 years ago in some Ancient Ruins by us the five biggest sects. We don’t know its purpose and its usage and we can’t even refine it. We only know that it’s a fairy weapon, a Taihao Fairy Weapon!”

“Are you guys playing with me?!” Zhou Bao spoke faintly. In his tone, there was no anger. Instead, it was more like a negotiation.

“This is not playing. When I listed the conditions I knew that they would eventually give you this one!” Elder Qing smiled as if he became a sly fox. “Strangers may not know about its history, but I do know a bit. This may be related to an old tribe from antiquity times. However, the stories from back then are useless now, I only know this small detail!”

“An old tribe from antiquity times?”

“Yes, you should also know that the world history is split into antiquity times, the medieval period and the present. Antiquity times refers to 100,000 years ago. From 10,000 to 100,000 years ago, 10,000 to 1,000 years ago, that’s near antiquity times. From a certain perspective, near antiquity times was almost meaningless. People are familiar with the history of near antiquity times, and even the medieval period. They are more interested in the antiquity times.”

The antiquity times, about 10,000 years ago, was an unfathomable era filled with pneuma and with many strong fighters. The 99 Emperors ruled the earth and the Jade Emperor ruled the worlds. It was an era where the universe was still unified. Uncountable small worlds and experts were ruled by the Heaven Realm. They listened to its orders and dared not go against them. If it wasn’t for the Necromancer’s Tribulation, perhaps, the glory of antiquity times would have continued til now.

However, the current situation was very different.

“After the tribulation, history was layered. People in the present day only knew about antiquity times. They did not know that there are older eras before that. Thousands of years of history turned from a large river to just a small wave!” Speaking of which, Elder Qing sighed, “To be specific, antiquity times spanned across 810,000 years. The beginning of which was 910,000 years ago. Before that, it was the ancient times. That does not matter anymore. It could even be said that the Ancient Celestial Court is deliberately removing that part of history!”

“The Ancient Celestial Court deliberately wants to erase it?!”

“That’s right. Primordial Origin, primitive times, ancient deities, Ancient Celestial Court, strictly speaking, from Primordial Origin to Necromancer’s Tribulation, there were four phases; each longer than the previous and also more mysterious. What we know now is the era of the Ancient Celestial Court. Before that, we’ve heard of snippets of the Primordial Origin and primitive times, but regarding ancient deities, we haven’t heard of anything. That’s because after the Ancient Celestial Court had been established, that part of history was forcefully wiped out. Even the items, civilization, information were all demolished completely. If I hadn’t had the chance when I was young, I wouldn’t have known about this ancient deities era after the primitive times. This rare era spanned across 3,600,000 years. That’s way longer than the rulership of Ancient Celestial Court! This scepter originated from ancient deities era, its a scepter from a deity!”

Zhou Bao’s gaze brightened. Looking at the scepter in his hand, it was made of bronze and less than three feet long. There was a cyan lotus carved onto its head. Its body was thick and sturdy and it was very minimal. The detailed carvings portrayed a great harmony.

“This thing is indeed not bad, it would be handy when using Asura Destroyer Pole!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly.
