Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 350: Qingtian Retreated and White Tiger Appeared

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Hey guys! I am coming back!

…

……

“Hump, if that is really the case, then the guys of Divine Wind Palace did indeed ambush my team. No wonder the people of Immortal Palace are so well-behaved lately because they are afraid that the deeds they are planning will be exposed.”

“Zhou Bao, in a secret hideaway activating his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, laughed to himself, “We just don’t know how many people Divine Wind Palace has sent this time. The Mock Moon Immortal, oh, how magnanimous of Divine Wind Palace to despatch such an Individual Immortal. According to Mock Moon Immortal, he is not the only one who was sent here. It’s impossible that Divine Wind Palace didn’t know Ye Qingtian has a magic weapon, and is paying less attention to him. One single Individual Immortal alone will not able to take him down!”

As expected, as soon as Mock Moon Immortal stopped speaking, another light flashed by, and every one of them had the same level of cultivation skills as an Individual Immortal. This was the level of respect given to Ye Qingtian as it had sent so many of these Individual Immortals to go after him.

“Ye Qingtian, so what if you have a magic weapon? After all, you have only a cultivation skill of Level Nine. Even if you managed to activate the magic weapon, how much power from it can you use? And how long can you defend yourself? We’ll see whether four of us can take you down!” Initially injured by Ye Qingtian and overcome by shock, Mock Moon Immortal had calmed down now and had a sneer on his face.

Three lights appeared as the three Individual Immortals joined forces to attack the dark clouds in the sky.

Ye Qingtian could hardly withstand the impact of the attack from the three Individual Immortals even though he had his magic weapon.

Rays of light shot out from the dark clouds and illuminated the gloomy sky. As the light continued to shine, a series of thunderclaps were heard and they were accompanied by a huge force that was pressing down.

“Sh*t, these bastards!” Zhou Bao swore angrily. The pressure emitted from the collision of these Individual Immortals and a fairy weapon could destroy half of his Wuyang Region.

They could ignore his Wuyang Region, but he couldn’t.

With a snore and a slight shake of the body, Zhou Bao gave off a wave of light-golden ripples, which formed an egg-like transparent cover and shielded the small town and the mansion at the foot of Jilei Mountain in a moment.

“Hey, be careful when you are fighting and don’t ruin my place!” Zhou Bao’s voice drawled and sounded like it came from far away, but the massive defensive power of the egg-shaped canopy which contained the Real Essence had terrified them.

The force from the sky was completely blocked by this invisible egg-shaped canopy. Mock Moon Immortal, who was standing in the middle of the egg-shaped canopy, found himself trapped in it and he really didn’t expect the egg-shaped canopy to be so solid that he couldn’t find his way out.

“That’s impossible. How can it contain such strong defensive powers?” He realized no matter how much power he exerted on the canopy, it would be absorbed by the egg-shaped canopy. The look on Mock Moon Immortal’s face turned uglier. Looking up suddenly, he saw Zhou Bao with a sneer on his face, watching four people waging a fierce battle in the sky.

“That is a really strong Real Essence wave. This Real Essence wave is enormous and boundless as the ocean. Even if we four were to unite together, we will not be able to emit such a strong Real Essence wave. This Zhou Bao has not even reached the Mysterious Realm level, how is it possible that he has such strong powers? It’s incredible. Could it possible that he possesses a magic weapon as well?” “No, even if he had the magic weapon, there would not have been such strong effect. Activating a magic weapon will exhaust the Real Essence. If he had been using the magic weapon, he would not have been able to emit such a Real Essence wave!” He quickly denied his speculation as soon as it was spoken.

Now there was only astonishment in Mock Moon Immortal’s eyes.

Zhou Bao had noticed Mock Moon Immortal, but he barely glanced at the Metaphysic Individual Immortal and instead concentrated on the battle in the sky.

Three Individual Immortals with two Pure Yang Celestial Devices and a Level Nine expert with a North Pole Frozen Wheel that he was just learning to use should be well-matched in strength. However, Ye Qingtian was soon reduced to inferiority. Although he had a strong cultivation skill, it was not strong enough to resist the North Pole Frozen Wheel for long. Yet those Individual Immortals were different and they just needed to cast a spell to pin down Ye Qingtian, until his Internal Qi and Real Essence were worn out. Then he had only two options, die or retreat. But could it be that simple?

Watching the four people fighting for their lives, the sneer on Zhou Bao’s face became more pronounced. The outcome of the battle was doomed even before it started.

He had undermined Ye Qingtian’s plans, so they would definitely retaliate. However, the Divine Wind Palace would not give up since the fire vein of Fiery Eyes had popped out. Otherwise, they could not rest.

Regardless whether he would emerge alive or dead from Taiyuan Heaven they would still seek revenge on him. He could foresee that, so could the Divine Wind Palace. Therefore, they would surely ambush him at his territory. Yet it was no secret that Ye Qingtian had a magic weapon, the Divine Wind Palace must have also taken that into consideration, and it would never have risked its people’s lives. So they must have sufficient strength and methods to deal with the magic weapon. When Ye Qingtian sought to take his revenge on him, he must have figured out that the Divine Wind Palace would have a part in this, so he definitely would have a backup plan. Both parties were hard to deal with.

This battle was nothing more than a test.

Both sides were testing the other. Ye Qingtian was testing the Divine Wind Palace, and vice versa. They were not expecting to see any outcome from this fight.

Since no one was expecting any real outcome, wasn’t the battle a waste of time?

Not exactly!

Ye Qingtian didn’t expect this battle to destroy Zhou Bao, but he believed that, with his strength, he could definitely cause extensive damage to the Wuyang Region. Even if someone tried to stop him, no ordinary being could handle the impact of the collision between the magic weapon and the Individual Immortals right now. If Zhou Bao had not set up this magical egg-shaped canopy, most of the Wuyang Region would have been destroyed by the huge pressure hurtling from the sky.

As for the Divine Wind Palace, in helping Zhou Bao to resist Ye Qingtian, who had the power of the magic weapon, it had cemented its fellowship with Zhou Bao and showed its cooperation. At least, it could repay him for Wen Yida, the Taihai Sage.

Moreover, both sides were fighting the same enemy, so they had the basis for cooperation.

It was extremely beneficial to Divine Wind Palace. Although the strength of Divine Wind Palace was extremely powerful, it didn’t have such a strong influence on Central Mainland Region. Yet apparently, Zhou Bao was able to exert a huge influence on Central Mainland Region for centuries to come. If it could establish a solid fellowship with him now, they would certainly gain a lot from it.

However, Zhou Bao’s power exceeded their expectations.

Yes, they had severely underestimated his power!

They had initially thought that even though Zhou Bao was strong, it would still be difficult for him to withstand the magic weapon of Ye Qingtian which everyone had witnessed in Taiyuan Heaven.

But, what about now?

It seemed like a piece of cake for him to protect the entire Wuyang Region and he looked so relaxed at that too.

This was a surprise.

But it was obvious that Zhou Bao had more surprises in store for them.

After emitting a roar, Zhou Bao stood aside with a deadpan expression on his face.

Should he stand aside to watch the drama of the battle? Or should he take part in the fight and give them a taste of the strength of his power?

After debating for a while, Zhou Bao decided to stay where he was and watched the fight from the sidelines.

Firstly, he had exhibited enough power to intimidate them and he didn’t want to exhibit all his tricks at the same time, nor did he want others to know about his magic weapon. Secondly, even though these people were fighting so ferociously, they definitely had a backup plan, so he had no need to join in unless he wanted to practice his Kungfu skills. But now, he had no intention of doing that.

IIndeed, he never thought of joining in this fight. Divine Wind Palace had despatched four Individual Immortals to ambush his territory, of which Immortal Palace must surely be aware. Now he would see what Immortal Palace’s response was going to be, so he could plan his next move.

The four had been battling each other for well over six hours. All of a sudden, a blue light shone brightly and extinguished the other three lights.

“Zhou Bao, I won’t kill you today, but you and I are not done. Divine Wind Palace can protect you for a while, but it can’t protect you forever. We’ll see!”

“As long as you can live forever!” Zhou Bao said nonchalantly with a cold look in his eyes. He didn’t go after Ye Qingtian. Watching the prevailing blue light fading away, he swished his sleeve and the egg-shaped canopy that had protected the Wuyang vanished.

“Haha, you must be Zhou Bao of Yunzhou. It is good to see you for myself rather than to hear about your greatness from others frequently. You are such an outstanding figure!”

A burst of laughter came from the sky, and suddenly, four people came up to Zhou Bao, “It’s an honor to meet you!”

Upon seeing the trio, Zhou Bao gave them a lukewarm smile and extended his hands to them.

It was quite an impolite gesture coming from Zhou Bao to the four Metaphysic Individual Immortals, but no one thought he was being impolite.

Yes, Zhou Bao was still young and his cultivation skill was only at Level Nine.

However, these four could discern that even though Zhou Bao’s cultivation skill was only at Level Nine, his actual strength was way above Level Nine. Even though he was just standing there and holding back both his Spirit and Qi, but they could feel the menace emanating from him.

Zhou Bao’s body was not strong, but it seemed like a gigantic black hole which could absorb all the Qi and pneuma in the world. It was also like a sealed bag which allowed no pneuma to ooze out.

With just one glance, the trio knew that even though Zhou Bao ‘s cultivation skill was lower than theirs, his strength was way greater than theirs.

He already had such strong powers at such a very young age, and could only get more powerful in the future.

TThe most important fact was that this person was not an Immortal yet.

To be an Immortal was the ultimate goal of most fighters and practitioners.

It meant having an incomparable Divine Sense and immortality.

However, only those had already become Immortals, knew that it was not as good as what people imagined it would be.

Freedom and leisure!

They had both. Yet they could not be part of any worldly affairs!

They could not violate the Laws of Heaven!

Although it was not confirmed, only under special circumstances, are these Immortals allowed to take part in worldly affairs. An example was the time when Ye Qingtian brought out his magic weapon and chased after Zhou Bao and they were allowed to intercept him.

Magic weapons were not allowed to be used in the mortal world!

That was one of the doctrines stipulated in the Law of Heaven.

Several years ago, the disciple of Fifth Manor in Longevity Mountain randomly used a magic weapon, Pureness Jade Vase, to subdue a monk of Bigwheel Temple, and for that he got himself into a lot of trouble. If it had not been for the Fifth Manor and Palace of Eternal Life which came to his defense, Ma Tianchang would be long gone.

Therefore, although they were able to help this time, their hands were also tied.

For the entire world.

The real deterrent was not the Metaphysic Individual Immortals like them, but those Level Nine experts.

Level Nine was the peak of the power of a mortal.

It had been an iron clad rule since the ancient times.

Zhou Bao had not yet reached the Mysterious Realm, but he was a Level Nine expert, which meant he was free to do whatever he wanted in the world. As long as he didn’t violate the Law of Heaven, no one could restrain him.

The Law of Heaven was used to rule the Immortals and was of no concern to Zhou Bao unless Zhou Bao used the magic weapon to create chaos. Otherwise, even if Zhou Bao was battling others before their eyes, the Individual Immortals could not interfere if he was not offending others intentionally.

Just like last time when he smashed Mingyi School, the Individual Immortals stationed in the Mingyi School could only intimidate him with words, and not action. In fact, even if they were to battle against Zhou Bao, they could only drive him off instead of killing him.

The affairs of the world can only be settled by the mortals.

And the Level Nine experts could only be restrained by the Level Nine experts as well.

That was also one of the doctrines of the Law of Heaven.

The only law was made for the common people.

But the thing was that, though this guy was at Level Nine, his power was far above Level Nine and even reached the level of a Metaphysic Individual Immortal. What did it mean?

It meant that there was no one in the world who could control him!

No one!

This was Zhou Bao’s situation now. From the very beginning, there was already someone who advised them that they should not interfere when Ye Qingtian sought revenge on Zhou Bao. They wanted Ye Qingtian to use his magic weapon to destroy Zhou Bao, the weird puppet who had transcended the boundaries of the world.

But that advice was not heeded.

The reason was very simple – Zhou Bao could be of great use to them.

Historically there had been people like Zhou Bao and they were all very powerful figures. Yet they all shared a disgraceful reputation and the common nickname given to them was “troublemaker”.

If Divine Wind Palace could win this guy over to its side, especially this troublemaker, it would be a lot easier for Divine Wind Palace to handle matters in Central Mainland Region. Even if they failed to recruit him, good relationships between them would have been established, in the event that he should decide to turn against them. If that happened, it could cause a whole lot of problems.

One should know that Zhou Bao was from Wu Family, yet Wu Family belonged to Tian Long Taoism. Apparently, the relationship between Tian Long Taoism and Immortal Palace was very fragile.

If Zhou Bao was recruited by Immortal Palace to go against Divine Wind Palace, Divine Wind Palace would not be able to do anything in Central Mainland Region, just like what had occurred at Mingyi School.

At first, these four Individual Immortals came here with a mission, and they regarded Zhou Bao with disdain. But now, after they had witnessed Zhou Bao’s strength and realized that he was well matched or even better than them, at such a young age, they gradually lost their contempt of him and even swallowed their pride. Moreover, one of the Individual Immortals was a very chatty fellow and they soon got acquainted with each other.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhou Bao got to know the Immortals. Except for Mock Moon Immortal, whom he knew from before, they were Bliss Immortal, Longlife Immortal and Xiaoyaozi.

They were the Individual Immortals from Divine Wind Palace. Divine Wind Palace had anticipated that Ye Qingtian would retaliate against Zhou Bao, so it sent these powerful Individual Immortals to lay an ambush there.

Zhou Bao did not bother too much with the three Individual Immortals, but he was also aware that they wanted to recruit him. Although he knew what they wanted, no promises were given by him.

Zhou Bao tactfully declined their offer for him to join the Divine Wind Palace, but he indicated that he would try his best to help Divine Wind Palace if ever they needed help. After all, they were facing the same enemies.

“This time, Ye Qingtian was just testing you. Now that they know our Divine Wind Palace has combined forces, they will not take any action for these few days. Hump, these remnants of Fiery Eyes are the common enemies of the world. After this incident, it won’t be easy for them to show themselves in public. So you can relax, Your Excellency.” Mock Moon Immortal waved his feather fan and reverted to the form of a holy Immortal.

“Sure he can. This is Central Mainland Region. We of the Immortal Palace have to be responsible for this incident. He has nothing to do with it.” Someone said directly after Mock Moon Immortal had finished speaking.

. With the exception of Jiang Xiao, who was the only subordinate there, everyone’s power was above the level of the Individual Immortal, and no one had noticed the stranger in their midst. They were not aware that he was in the room, until he spoke up. All of them were in deep shock.

Zhou Bao’s eyes were very different from the common people, so he could see better than the rest. This stranger had appeared in the room the moment Mock Moon Immortal had finished his speech. When he showed up, there were no space waves or sound, which was very strange.

Mock Moon Immortal and his mates started to panic, but when they saw who the guy was, they were relieved. However, they looked gloomy.

It’s White Tiger. Sorry, I didn’t recognize you at first!” The Four Individual Immortals of Divine Wind Palace stood up and made their obeisances to the visitor.

“Hump, why are you here at the Central Mainland Region? Since when you can manage the affairs in Central Mainland Region?”

They looked gloomier, having known of the notoriety of White Tiger’s ill temper. Mock Moon Immortal cupped his hands, “Brother White Tiger, you must excuse us. We are not managing the affairs of Central Mainland Region. But since there were so many people and incidents involved in this matter, we were ordered to investigate it. And we happened to meet Ye Qingtian here, and engaged in a fight with him. It was never our intention to disturb you, Your Excellency.”
