Chapter 773: Comprehending the Fist Intent

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

This was the Immortal-killing Sword Qi! The Innate Deity had been killed by this immortal-killing Sword Qi!

“This guy seemed to have enjoyed a high status among all the Innate Deities. But in the end he was killed by the Immortal-killing Sword Qi.

What was this supposed to mean?

Zhou Bao’s eyes sparkled. Given that Ghost Child was the device spirit of the red gourd which had been fully refined by Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao seldom concealed the truth from him. Considering that he still needed help from this knowledgeable Ghost Child, when Zhou Bao’s Second Primordial Spirit evolved into the device spirit of the Furnace of Immortality, Zhou Bao revealed all that he had discovered to Ghost Child. Therefore, Ghost Child was able to see the spacetime inside the head of this Innate Deity as well as the storming Sword Qi in it.

After letting out a shocked shriek, Ghost Child started cheering. A fine red string was ejected into the space again and it started to absorb the terrifying Sword Qi there.

“This Innate Deity is really something. Under the incessant attack of the Immortal-killing Sword Qi, his Source Space still exists. He even kept his head intact from the Sword Qi. Bravo, bravo! Boy, you’ve got a windfall. If you absorb this Source Space and put it in your Supreme Fairy Weapon, maybe you’ll be able to produce another device spirit.”

“Source Space?”

“It’s a space of an Innate Deity’s source. Legends have it that it is the source of all the macro and micro worlds in the Void Universe. But you shouldn’t expect to be able to produce some Innate Deity’s device spirit. Although this Innate Deity used to be so powerful that he courted the deadly attack of the Immortal-killing Sword Qi, it has been many years already; you’ll be lucky enough to produce a Primeval Beast with his remaining Source Space!”

“Primeval Beast? I’ve heard about it. It is something that is interdependent with a micro world, just like the device spirit of a macro world’s Fairy Weapon of Fate. But what’s the difference between the two?”

“The Primeval Beast, of course, differs from the device spirit of a Fairy Weapon of Fate. The micro world is not a complete world. It doesn’t have complete Dharma. No matter what kind of micro world it is, it will always have living creatures in it. And frankly speaking, the Primeval Beast is the source of all living creatures. Even though they have no intelligence at all, they’re closely related to the core of their micro worlds. Thus, the Primeval Beast is merely used as a switch to control a micro world. They serve few functions. But the Source Space is different. It’s the source of all the worlds, even more primitive than the micro world and is more pliable. Now, though this Source Space has been depleted, its essence is still here, which can breed all kinds of creatures. Your Supreme Fairy Weapon already has a macro world. However, different macro worlds also have various grades and ranks. If you add this Source Space in that weapon, it can bring about unimaginable changes to your Azure Big World and help you take control of this world in a better way!” Speaking of this, Ghost Child paused for a second with a wacky smile on his childlike face. “Boy, I don’t believe you’re perfectly sure about mastering Azure Big World, are you?”

“Of course I’m not sure!” Zhou Bao’s face suddenly darkened. “But I feel like I have everything under control and can do whatever I want in this world. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot find any trace of the Emperor of Azure Heaven in Azure Big World. Meanwhile, all his old subordinates are lying low and not giving anything away. To be honest, I really have no assurance about mastering this world.”

“That’s why you should exert all your efforts to fully control this macro world. The Source Space could be your best ace card. With it, you will have better bargaining powers!”

“According to what you just said, you’re certain that Azure Big World is a backup plan of the Emperor of Azure Heaven, and I am already involved in his game, right?”

“Yes. But now you’re capable of winning this game!” Ghost Child said composedly, “Regardless what kind of game it is, the player needs real strength to back him up. Although the Emperor of Azure Heaven is an experienced Earthly Immortal, whose power overawed all the worlds in antiquity times, your growth speed is still beyond his expectation. As long as you have enough time, your strength can surpass his. If you have that kind of strength, in the end, all the games or traps he sets up will turn out to be advantageous for you!”

“That’s great news!” Zhou Bao beamed. After he had battled with an Earthly Immortal, he realized what a huge gap there was between himself and an Earthly Immortal. But he had gained loads of benefits from that battle. He believed that it would not take long for him to enter the Divine Immortal Realm and be able to confront an Earthly Immortal even if he could not become an Earthly Immortal yet. The Emperor of Azure Heaven was indeed a sophisticated Earthly Immortal, but if he continued hiding in the dark, Zhou Bao’s power would one day grow to an extent that would enable him to fight against the Emperor of Azure Heaven.

“Fine, enough talking. I’ve almost done with the Immortal-killing Sword Qi absorption. You should quickly infuse this Source Space with your Azure Big World. Go! Master this Furnace of Immortality and let it become a Heavenly Fairy Weapon!”

“Got it!” Zhou Bao nodded. His mind raced, and his Second Primordial Spirit turned into a streak of black flame and instantly engulfed the whole Furnace of Immortality. Then, he tossed the Source Space into his Azure Big World.

Several hours later, the Furnace of Immortality started to shrink, and the Golden Flame Mirror between the eyebrows of the head was dislodged from its original spot and floated in the air. At this moment, the Golden Flame Mirror was already a Taihao Fairy Weapon. However, due to it being of a different material, it was thrown out by the Furnace of Immortality.

When the black flame disappeared, the Furnace of Immortality turned into a fist-sized skull, which was suspended in front of Zhou Bao along with the Golden Flame Mirror.

It was easy to absorb the Golden Flame Mirror into Zhou Bao’s body. The Furnace of Immortality was not so easy to withdraw because it had turned into a Heavenly Fairy Weapon and its device spirit had become Zhou Bao’s Second Primordial Spirit. Given this, Zhou Bao did not force it to go back to his body. Instead, he hung it at his waist.

“Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. Immortal-killing Sword Qi. It sounds that there is some kind of connection between these two kinds of Sword Qi. What on earth are they?” Zhou Bao suddenly posed this question.

“Ah!” Ghost Child was a little stunned. Then, he answered subconsciously, “These two are the ace cards of the old bastard!”

“The old bastard?”

“Yes, the old bastard, the biggest jerk since the Primordial Origin. His murderous intent is even wilder than mine. He has always been arrogant. But don’t worry, he has disappeared since primitive times!”

“Worry? Why should I be worried?” Zhou Bao was a bit taken aback. He laughed bitterly.

“Boy, if you want to practice the Sword Way Primordial Spirit, you may have to grasp the workings of the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi and the Immortal-killing Sword Qi. But due to your current level, it’ll be a little hard to comprehend these two kinds of Sword Qi. So you’d better sharpen your understanding of the Sword Qi of your Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and produce a Sword Way Primordial Spirit first!”

“To produce a Sword Way Primordial Spirit is not an easy task!” Zhou Bao forced a smile. His Fire Way Primordial Spirit had already taken shape, but he also learned the difficulties during the refining of this Fire Way Primordial Spirit. The Fire Dharma was something he had been practicing since the very beginning. His understanding of the Fire Dharma had always been quite profound. Adding that he had an incarnation of the Primitive Dragon Chimera as well as the help of the black fire, he had achieved this Fire Way Primordial Spirit without any effort. However, producing a Sword Way Primordial Spirit would be totally different.

The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was one of the weapons that had helped Zhou Bao rise from scratch. Back then, in order to form the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, Zhou Bao practiced diligently for a long time. Although the final Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword he accomplished was immensely sharp and powerful, it was not attributed to Zhou Bao’s understanding of the Sword Way. Instead, it was due to the Sword Qi he produced. At that time, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was merely a powerful weapon to Zhou Bao.

It was true the credit should be given to the weapon itself instead of his talent in swordsmanship. At last, he inadvertently fostered the sharpest Natal Sword, but that did not show how profound his comprehension in swordsmanship was. It required a lasting care and study of the swordsmanship to finally accomplish the Sword Way Primordial Spirit and grasp the gist of this skill. However, Zhou Bao’s understanding of the swordsmanship obviously did not reach that degree, so he could not produce the Sword Way Primordial Spirit yet. Now, Zhou Bao had no choice but to produce another Outer-body Incarnation by virtue of the Outer-body Incarnation Skill. This new Outer-body Incarnation gathered all the power and treasures except for those controlled by his own body and his Fire Way Incarnation. Just like his Second Primordial Spirit, Zhou Bao ordered this new incarnation to start a closed-door training in Wuyang Region to enable him to comprehend the swordsmanship bit by bit. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao himself entered Azure Big World, and attempted to combine the Source Space of the Innate Deity with Azure Big World for the purpose of expanding his control over this world. At the same time, he would do a closed-door training to digest the benefits he had obtained since he last left Heaven Realm World.

When his Third Primordial Spirit was comprehending the swordsmanship, Zhou Bao himself started to go through the experiences he obtained from the Earthly Immortal of Eastern Thunder Sect; to evolve his fist intent, and to break through the bottleneck in his punching skills.

“Black hole, this must be a black hole. Never thought this old guy had observed a black hole so closely and comprehended the relevant Divine Sense as well. But unfortunately, his understanding of the black hole is too shallow. Nor did he have a fist intent like mine to integrate the whole universe in it. This observation is bound to be fruitless!”

“Eh…what’s this? How could there be such a peculiar planet in the universe? It’s too big and too alien. Imitating it is not easy at all—”

“Galaxy! It’s the essence of the whirling galaxy. It’s the source of the magnetic field and the gravitation of the whole galaxy. It turns out that this is the way it is supposed to be. What I imagined before is wrong. Alas, how I regret that I did not study physics well enough!”

“Oh, no way, what’s this? Nine stars entangled in one place, what are they doing?”

“Is this a hole? Why is there something squirting out from it? No, it should be a white hole. Well, is it the exit point of the black hole? Stephen Hawking probably never saw this!”

As Zhou Bao mused through these experiences, time went by slowly…
