Chapter 610: Five Years

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao forcibly absorbed the planet into his fist intent. Although he succeeded, the final result was not as simple as he had imagined.

Once the planet was refined into his fist intent, it became the center of his fist intent and transformed into an extremely strange ochre star in the center of the whole simulated universe. This star was countless times larger and more powerful than all the celestial bodies in his simulated universe. Although its rotation speed was very slow, it produced an incomparable great force that filled the whole fist intent. Zhou Bao felt that his fist intent seemed to have come alive.

Yes, it was alive!

Before, his fist intent had been the product of a combination of his spirit, Dharma power, willpower, etc. It was virtual. Although it possessed unparalleled power when it was operated, it was not as terrifying and powerful as a living creature.

“I see. I still need some time to comprehend these mysteries!” Zhou Bao’s eyes flashed as if he was aware of something. He shook and held back his fist intent. Once again, he transformed into a young man dressed in cyan. He held the Furnace of Immortality in his hand and soon disappeared.

“Wang She should have entered the Mysterious Realm by now!” Zhou Bao turned around and saw Wang She. With his eyes closed, he was sitting cross-legged in the void and all his essence, qi, and spirit were completely restrained as a whole. He had already reached the Advanced Level of the Mysterious Realm. At the same time, with the help of the power of the roc’s Real Body, he had directly advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Mysterious Realm— the Marrow-Cleansing Realm. He was only one step away from undergoing the Thunder Tribulation and becoming a Genuine Immortal.

In fact, he had accumulated enough power to undergo the first Thunder Tribulation. However, he had the same plan as Zhou Bao. Once he had accumulated enough power, he would undergo several Thunder Tribulations in one go and become a Venerable.

WHOOSH!

Sitting in the void, Wang She seemed to have sensed Zhou Bao’s return. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. He looked at Zhou Bao and a fierce bright light shot out of his eyes. “What’s wrong with you? What happened?!”

Although only a short period of time had passed, the impression Zhou Bao gave now was completely different. His body was emanating an extremely horrible impact force, as if it would bounce back with just a glance. It exerted a huge pressure on Wang She, who had reached the peak of the Individual Immortal Realm.

Wang She knew that this only occurred when one’s strength was greatly improved but could not be controlled. Had Zhou Bao’s strength improved again in such a short period of time? How had he made such a huge improvement? Zhou Bao must have encountered something while he was engaged in meditation and practice.

“Oh, nothing. I just gained an insight into something and did something stupid!” Zhou Bao laughed bitterly and changed the subject. His current state was not good. Refining the planet caused a huge impact. His qi and blood had not recovered, and his Mysterious Divine Light was completely consumed. The planet exerted a huge amount of pressure on him too; the tremendous force brought about by its slow rotation was invading his spirit like waves. He was like a strong man carrying a five thousand kilogram stone. He was barely able to bear its weight. It would still take a long time to adapt and walk freely.

“It seems that your purpose has been achieved, so we’ll go back now and save ourselves from more trouble!” Zhou Bao forcibly restrained the pressure and cast a glance at Wang She. Breaking the void apart directly, he employed the Infinite Realms Teleportation and returned to the Wuyang Region with Wang She.

When they returned, Zhou Bao did not even say goodbye to Wang She. He merely announced that he would do a closed-door training which lasted for five years.

Five whole years!

For five years, Zhou Bao locked himself in the stone room on the peak of Jilei Mountain in order to gain insight into the mystery of fist intent. He didn’t come out even once.

Five years passed quickly. Although Zhou Bao was doing the closed-door training, no one was foolish enough to cause trouble in the Wuyang Region. The area developed as usual. It developed faster and better. It became the ruler of the whole northwest. It governed not only the northwest but also the Western Region and the whole north. It could be said that since the fall of Northern Yuan, another huge influence had emerged in the north. Compared with Northern Yuan, this influence was more powerful, more civilized, and also more mysterious.

The Jin dynasty felt the pressure. But such pressure did not make them worry, because the right of speech of this influence was now in the hands of the Jin Emperor’s younger sister and the candidate for the Human Emperor Yan Yantian’s daughter, who had always maintained friendly relations with Jin. Moreover, unlike Northern Yuan, this influence did not require more horses and population every year. The Wuyang Region and even the whole northwest were closely connected with Jin. A road hundreds of thousands of kilometers long linked them together. The traffic was smooth and there were no checkpoints on the way. This area was very prosperous, and the population kept increasing every year. Hence, it was no longer the way it was in the beginning when there was a shortage of manpower. The population of the entire northwest region had exceeded a hundred million; there was no shortage of manpower at all. Coupled with the covert operation of Anyuan Store, the economic interests of Jin were closely linked with those of the Wuyang Region. A strange situation in which they were bound together for better or for worse had taken shape.

Over the past five years, the Wuyang Region had been completely stable but it had been developing quickly. This attracted the attention of many major influences in the Central Mainland Region. Not only the official influence, the imperial court, but also many sects in the Jianghu, had their branches established in this newly rising place. Many businesses had set up their strongholds here too. Public security here had always been orderly.

That was because there was a competent urban management team here.

This team was very efficient. Since Zhou Bao controlled the Azure Big World, he had a steady stream of resources. He also had complete recipes for the elixirs in his possession. In these five years, elixirs had been coming out of the Lord Mansion like running water. Even the lowest-level team members were now at Level Four, not to mention the captains, who were all experts at Level Seven. The leader of all the captains, Zhu Ba, who was also known as Green-eyed Eagle, was already a Level Nine expert. The urban management system in the Wuyang Region made them able to compete with the super-large sects like the Tian Long Taoism and the Sect of Flame.

This was indeed incredible. It had only been eight years since the Wuyang Region had been established. The super-large sects, like the Tian Long Taoism and the Sect of Flame, which had been established for 6 to 7,000 years with a deep foundation, were in the same state. Within eight years, the Wuyang Region had achieved what had taken the others thousands of years. This was indeed surprising. Of course, despite their surprise, everyone knew it was because of the creator of all these miracles, the Lord of the Wuyang Region, King Wuyang Zhou Bao.

From the time Zhou Bao revealed his outstanding talent to the present, it had only been a short period of just over 10 years.

In 10 years, Zhou Bao had become a myth, a myth of the martial arts world.

However now, fewer and fewer people saw the myth. Every year, there were countless martial arts practitioners and hot-blooded youngsters arriving in the Wuyang Region from all over the world in order to visit the mythical figure. They were all refused at the entrance.

This rendered all kinds of rumors about Zhou Bao. He was more and more mysterious and more difficult to understand.

However, none of this was Zhou Bao’s concern. For the growing fan base in the Jianghu, he had no choice but to wear a wry smile.

“You did a closed-door training for five whole years and handed everything over to me. Do you think I have lived a good life?”

In the Lord Mansion of the Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao was lying on the bed naked with a wry smile on his face. People always said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. The couple hadn’t seen each other in five years, and inevitably, they vented their passion. Afterwards, Zhou Bao faced endless darkness.

Bitterness and exhaustion!!!

For 10 hours, he had been lying on the bed as Yan Yunfei scolded him. From his irresponsibility regarding the education of his children to his bad behavior in the construction of the Wuyang Region. Yan Yunfei shed bitter tears as she spoke, and her words caused Zhou Bao to feel ashamed.

Yan Yunfei was also a Level Nine expert. Over the past few years, she had managed the entire Wuyang Region very well. With a Sacred Root, she was able to practice at a fast pace. She had also absorbed a lot of Qi of heaven and earth. As a result, an air of nobility radiated from all over her body and her cultivation was unmeasurable in the eyes of others. Even Zhou Bao’s first expert, the Green-eyed Eagle Zhu Ba, would lower his head and be as honest as a peasant before his mistress. It was precisely because of her strong cultivation that she was not parched after 10 hours of continuous scolding.

“My dear wife, have you finished scolding me?”

“You…!” Yan Yunfei’s face turned pale. She looked awkward and unhappy.

“Hey hey, it’s not that big a deal. I just spent five years doing closed-door training. We still have plenty of time together!” Zhou Bao laughed. Raising his hands, he held her in his arms with great force.

Although Yan Yunfei was a Level Nine expert, she was unable to resist Zhou Bao’s strength. Before she could react, she was in his arms. Zhou Bao turned over and they were immersed in their love.

“So, over the past five years, the Central Mainland Region was not calm!”

After they had vented their passion, the Lord’s bedroom finally became quiet. The two of them lay quietly in bed, enjoying their little chat.

“Yes, a disciple of the Divine Wind Palace has been possessed by the devil, stirring up a widespread uproar throughout Jianghu. However, only a few people know his origin and what the Divine Wind Palace is. They just fear this newly-emerged devil in the martial arts world!”

“Have the Divine Wind Palace adopted any action?”

“Yes, they have. But, it’s not very effective. The disciple is too cunning. Moreover, he was originally an elite of the Divine Wind Palace and very familiar with everything about the palace. He can always escape at the most critical time. Besides, the Divine Wind Palace is also tied down by the other Four Great Sects, so…!” Just then, Yan Yunfei suddenly uttered a cry as if she remembered something. She stood up fiercely and said, “Oh, I just remembered, there is one more thing related to you!”

“Related to me?”

“It’s about your old friend Wang She. Lu Shaoyou has challenged him to a duel!”
