Chapter 616: Ancient Ruins of a Sect from Antiquity Times

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Indeed, the real show was just starting!

Wang She was the Chief of Tian Long Taoism. At the same time, he was also one of the 28 constellations of the Immortal Palace. Ji Zhongtang, on the other hand, was a training target for the Divine Wind Palace. He was much stronger than Lu Shaoyou.

This was because he had met Yi IV from the School of Five Virtues. Yi IV had really liked this guy who was Fighting For Justice and gave him many advantages. He helped Ji Zhongtang enter the Mysterious Realm and also passed many Divine Sense celestial devices on to him. When giving them to him, Yi IV had said clearly that he should not pass them on further to other people. Hence, Ji Zhongang hadn’t dared to pass them on privately. Because of this, his powers were much stronger than Lu Shaoyou. This was how he had managed to help Lu Shaoyou block the power grids.

“Seems like you have an overall plan. If not, you wouldn’t have left so recklessly back there!” Zhou Bao smiled as he looked at Wang She who was sitting opposite him.

“Could I have stayed? After all, Ji Zhongtang is my biological father. Should I have punched him to death? I’m afraid several tribulations would have dawned upon me immediately! Besides, what good would it do? Will it bring my mother back? Will the hatred in my heart be eased?!”

“Enough, enough, stop talking about it, stop!” Zhou Bao waved his hand frantically and stopped him from continuing. He knew that Wang She liked to act mature. However, after getting to know each other better, whenever they talked about their family problems, Wang She became hysterical. He would often bawl uncontrollably. Jing Tao’s brother was nothing compared to him. He got goosebumps watching Jing Tao’s brother in his past life, he did not want to continue this with a Sect Master in this life.

“Anyways, if there’s anything I can help you with in the future, feel free to tell me. I will let you know if it’s ok!” Zhou Bao said. “But I see that you’re not here about your private matters today!”

“I will take care of my private matters on my own. I will come to you for help only when I have no other way out. This time around, I’m here for another important matter!”

Something important!

Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. For Wang She to deem something as important, it would for sure be significant. However, apart from the family reunion drama recently, there seemed to be no major events, be it in the Jianghu or in the practitioner world. With Zhou Bao’s current status, he should have more sources for such news than Wang She. Just what did Wang She know that he didn’t?!

Zhou Bao could not help but wonder.

“I am here about the issue with the Devil Fetus!”

“Devil Fetus?!” Zhou Bao felt a plunge in his heart. Ever since the Devil Fetus attached itself to the disciple of Divine Wind Palace, he had stirred things up in the Heaven Realm. He had tried to exert power in the Heaven Realm. However, in the Seven-deity Regions, this power could not be developed, especially with the pressure from the Four Eastern Regions. This Devil Fetus was very resilient. He built up his power upon a piece of desolated land somewhere in the endless Sea Area. It was unclear when the Devil Fetus had started to cross the endless Sea Area. According to rumors, the disciples he attracted were mostly in Demonic Cultivation. God knows how he did it. However, since he was not causing trouble in the Seven-deity Regions, apart from the Dark Sect, other sects in the Seven-deity Regions were too lazy to care about him. The Devil Fetus lived quite a free life. Why was Wang She bringing this up now? Perhaps he wanted to use him? It did not seem likely; Wang She was not a hot-headed person.

“Why are you interested in the Devil Fetus?!”

“I am not interested in the Devil Fetus, but the place where he built his power, the desolated land!”

“What do you mean?!”

“It is the entrance to an Ancient Ruin, and it belonged to a large sect in the antiquity times!” As he spoke, Wang She opened a map and laid it on the table.

Zhou Bao’s expression changed as he looked at the map. It was different from a regular map. In addition to the terrains, there were also eccentric traces and symbols. Zhou Bao knew that these represented time spaces.

The Heaven Realm was a macro world enveloped by layers of time spaces. It contained countless time spaces. While it may have looked messy and mysterious, there was some pattern and order to it. Back in the antiquity times, powerful practitioners and Powerful Divines had explored these patterns and came up with a conclusion. A few strong sects even used these patterns to help them hide in the deepest part of this seemingly endless time space. Using these patterns, they had set up all kinds of protective formations to guard the door to the mountain. This way, the sects were safe and protected, as if they were in the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain.

The Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain was initially an outer division of a strong sect, Sky Outside of a Sky, in the antiquity times. After the tribulation, this particular sect had disappeared, and the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain was kept protected. After developing for thousands of years, it became one of the strongest sects in the Three Western Regions.

The location of each sect’s mountain door was a mystery. These sects would set up a Bodhimanda in the present world in the macro world. They would then set up a transmitting magic formation within the Bodhimanda. Only the most powerful officials could go in and out of the real mountain door through the Transmitting Formation. Regular disciples could only interact with the other sects in the Bodhimanda. Those who did not know the truth would mistake the Bodhimanda as the mountain door.

In the medieval period, which was after the antiquity times, the exploration of sects from antiquity times did not stop. One by one, maps of the sects began to circulate, just like the one Wang She had now.

“Ancient Ruins from the sects of antiquity times, since when were you interested in these things? You already have the roc essence and blood, so probably also inherited the roc bloodline. This type of inheritance from the Fierce Beasts of antiquity times is just as good as that from the sects of antiquity times. It also suits your cultivation. I don’t think there’s a need to do more than is required!”

“If it was just some neighboring sect I wouldn’t care, but this sect is different. It affects our ability to surpass the Void Thunder Tribulation!”

“Void Thunder Tribulation?!” Now, even Zhou Bao’s expression changed. He was different from Wang She, in the sense that he had entered the Mysterious Realm through the Azure Big World. By right, he should undergo the Thunder Tribulation in the Azure Big World. However, he also possessed the Jade Plate of Fate from the Azure Big World. The tribulation would be of no use to him. If he wanted to enter the True Immortal Realm, he had two choices. One was to combine the macro world of fate with the Jade Plate of Fate. He would not need to undergo any tribulation and could directly become the highest existence in the Azure Big World. The other way was to undergo the Thunder Tribulation in the hollow and enter the realm of Genuine Immortal.

He had naturally given up on the first choice. It was too strange. There might have been benefits from becoming the highest existence of a macro world, but he subtly felt that there would be several problems. It would definitely not be as easy as the rumors in the outside world led it to be. He would have to grab hold and control everything, much like the responsibility a Human Emperor held. There would be more responsibilities too. Right now, Zhou Bao was frightened at the idea of being responsible for more things. He already had more than enough on his shoulders and did not want to add any more pressure onto himself.

Hence, going through the Thunder Tribulation in the hollow had become his best option. The reputation of the Void Thunder Tribulation had been spreading around for many years along with its benefits. Everyone knew that it was not easy. Hence, Zhou Bao was very cautious about this matter too.

After five years of difficult practice, he had finally trained his body to be in its best condition, the peak of Mysterious Realm. At the same time, after inserting the star into his fist intent, he had spent five years understanding and mastering it. He finally understood how bold he had been with his punching skill and fist intent before. He realized he had yet to see the best and worst of the world.

Putting a star into one’s fist intent would obviously cause its powers to increase multifold. However, the problem was that one needed power to activate this source of energy. Zhou Bao had already synchronized the Zhuyan bloodline completely. He had also refined the Real Body of Zhuyan and practiced the Mysterious Divine Light. He could use a fraction of the Primordial Demonic Ape, Zhuyan’s power and capability. However, to control a star was difficult. Zhou Bao could also see that the faster the star spun, the greater its powers. To make it spin quickly, the Mysterious Divine Light was needed to boost it. Zhou Bao had nine acupoints and very thick Mysterious Divine Light, but the word ‘thick’ was very subjective. When facing a normal Individual Immortal, it could be used. But when facing a star, could one even use the word ‘thick’?

Of course not. He had to be a coward.

Zhou Bao had already calculated this. Based on his body’s condition, if he launched all of his fist intent to boost the powers of the star, he could punch once. It would be a very forceful punch and Zhou Bao was confident that one punch was sufficient to break the bones of a Human Immortal. For example, he could punch the Highest Elder of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, who was of Human Immortal rank, to death. However, after the punch, Zhou Bao’s fist would shatter as well. His internal Mysterious Divine Light would be sucked out completely and his body would be severely injured. He would end up on the verge of dying.

If he activated his two hammers and relied on their strength, he could give a complete third shot. However, he could control the first shot, but he would not be able to control the accuracy of the second or third. After the third shot, it would be just like his fists after punching – the Mysterious Divine Light would be all used up. However, one advantage to this was that his body would not be severely injured.

This was the benefit of having a strong weapon.

At the same time, he also knew that his biggest problem was the lack of Dharma power.

The best way to increase Dharma power was to undergo Void Thunder Tribulation and get a Genuine Immortal Karma Rank. However, deep down in his heart he was scared.

He was really scared. The Void Thunder Tribulation was not easy at all, especially for people like him and Wang She, whose bodies were infused with the bloodline of Primordial Fierce Beasts. The bloodline could trigger the Thunder Tribulation considerably. It could even cost them their lives
