Omnipotent Sage

The baby was really pink, tender, and surprisingly cute. It looked around with its innocent eyes. But the things it said were not so pleasant.

Seeing Zhou Bao with only one arm, it curled its lip in contempt. “I say, boy, your arm has not been cut off by the Immortal-slaying Sword, has it? So shameful! Oh, what’s that?”

Zhou Bao smiled bitterly. The baby immediately recognized the red gourd and knew that it was the red gourd’s device spirit itself. The red gourd was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. After it was heavily damaged, it simply could not exert its original strength anymore. Now it was back to normal. The gourd seemed to have absorbed enough murderous intent that it had somehow awoken. The surprising thing was that an awakening device spirit sounded so strange.

“Hey! Go and see what that thing is!”

Zhou Bao quickly discovered the device spirit’s flaw. It had crawled out from the mouth of the red gourd’s shadow, but it obviously could not go far from it. It had sensed that there was something right in front of it but had no way of going over to see. It could only urge Zhou Bao to go over.

Zhou Bao sneered slightly. He also thought something felt strange.

Many practitioners from Star Palace were gathered. They certainly were not there to hang around chatting, they had something serious to do. They had most likely found an item like a hidden treasure in this meteor belt. Because the Immortal-slaying Sword had turned everything in a thousand-mile radius into nothingness, no matter how well hidden the Hidden Treasure was, by now it must have revealed its trace.

“Oh, is it really a Hidden Treasure?”

Indeed, it was. There were many practitioners in this world. Since the Primordial Origin, there have been countless Powerful Divines who had left behind mysterious treasures. These Powerful Divines could knead the Law of Space like a piece of dough, and the inhibition that they established could only be truly found by those ordained by fate to do so.

This was just like the Hidden Treasure in front of him. It was hidden in a space the size of a speck of dust. It was uncertain how the Star Palace practitioners had managed to find it.

After the attack of the Immortal-slaying Sword Sword Qi, there was only one place around where there was a faint light glistening.

“Do you know what that Hidden Treasure is?” Zhou Bao asked, looking startled at the impatient baby.

“I don’t know, but it feels very familiar to me.” The baby shook his head and turned to look all around. It stretched out its arm and with it swept the surrounding space several times. “It seems this is the Easternmost Land. The Law of Space here is so solid, so it must be the Easternmost land. Let me have a look at that thing!”

Zhou Bao reached out his hand and picked up the item with its weak rays. In his hands, Zhou Bao could feel that the object was about the size of a speck of dust, but it actually weighed more than forty thousand pounds. He picked it up carelessly and nearly dropped it.

“Oh, so this is the secondary palace! Interesting. Did the Duke of the East also disappear? How could he have moved the secondary palace here? Even the inhibition is half destroyed!”

“Who is the Duke of the East?” Asked Zhou Bao.

“The Duke of the East was an expert from the ancient deities who controlled the Easternmost Land. But he disappeared during the end of the ancient deities period, and he lost his control over the Easternmost Land. He must have been destroyed!” the doll said nonchalantly.

Zhou Bao had an idea. “Can you break the inhibition of the secondary palace?”

“Of course I can!” the baby said proudly as a mournful murderous intent shimmered and died out again. The dim rays in his hand were energized, and what had been a tiny speck of light turned suddenly into a huge palace floating in the hollow.”

Is this… a Highest Heaven Celestial Device?”

In Zhou Bao’s imagination, the secondary palaces of the experts of the ancient deities would have at least been fairy weapons. Even if they were not Supreme Fairy Weapons, they would at least be Taihao Fairy Weapons. But how was this only a Highest Heaven Celestial Device?

“Yes, it’s a Highest Heaven Celestial Device.” The baby looked at Zhou Bao and seemed to realize something. It said with a smile “Do you want some good stuff? In the ancient deities period, the palace of every Divine Tribe was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, not a single one was a fairy weapon!”

“Why?”

“Why? Because a palace is just a place to live. All of the good stuff was hoarded by the ancient deities to build their three holy cities. Ninety-nine percent of the resources of the Void Universe were squandered on the origin, construction, and final fate of these cities. Therefore, they had just enough to suppress the whole world, and just enough to chase the Devil Tribe and the other Extraterritorial Area alien races out of the hollow. Their three holy cities were the only Supreme Fairy Weapons.

“What you mean is, that this secondary palace won’t have any good stuff?” Zhou Bao looked at the Duke of the East’s dazzling building and was visibly disappointed.

“It depends on how you think about it. An ordinary divine device is not a small thing, and there are magic weapons, materials, and mysterious objects too. It should be quite a good haul for you! Although this is just a secondary palace, the Duke of the East must have collected some interesting objects here.”

“Okay, then!” Zhou Bao felt inspired. He saw something in the corner of his eye. “There’s someone coming, let’s get out of here, first!”

As he spoke he waved and channeled the secondary palace into his Supreme Fairy Weapon. His figure flashed. Using the Three Realms Division and quick body movements, he left the hollow that had been destroyed by the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi in an instant.

After a short while, several Daoists appeared in the hollow. Their clothing was exactly the same as that of the Star Palace practitioners that Zhou Bao had just killed. This time there were not many, but they were all cultivated to Lord of Heaven and above, and led by one practitioner in the Human Immortal state.

“What happened? Why is there nothing here?”

“It seems it was Hou Ye’s Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. It has destroyed this hollow, but what happened to Hou Ye’s people?”

A strange hollow appeared in front of them. Every practitioner in the group looked terrified.

“Tian Quan, return immediately to the Star Palace and report what you saw here to the Palace Leader. Everyone else, stay here and look around with me. Search the entire meteor belt, then give me any news about Hou Ye and his men so I can find them.” This Human Immortal ended up standing in the hollow for half a day and did not find any trace of the people he was looking for. His whole face turned deathly pale, and he screamed.

“That damn secondary palace, still so damn poor!”

While the Star Palace practitioners were frantically searching on the meteor belt, Zhou Bao already left. He had used his Infinite Realms Teleportation Skill three times in a row. He had just landed feet first on a vast planet and started to examine the loot he had just obtained from the secondary palace. It clearly was not what he wanted.

“You’re saying that this guy was an expert of the ancient deities? How was he this poor? It’s all Taihao Fairy Weapons, at best Upper Grade. There is not even an Extreme Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon. These Mysterious Objects aren’t bad, but I have no use for them!”

“This is just a secondary palace of the Duke of the East. Perhaps it was barely worth keeping because it was not important. If it were an important palace, a real Palace of the East, then the inside would have been completely empty by now!” the baby said unhappily. “There’s no less than nineteen Taihao Fairy Weapons! You are not satisfied, yet what would you do with so many fairy weapons?”

“Is it no good for me to bring them to do somebody a favor?”, Zhou Bao said, also unhappily. “And what about you? You’re the gourd’s device spirit, right? How come you have only now come out?”

“Your vision is pretty good! Yes, I am the gourd’s device spirit, and that is the reason I have only now come out; because I thought you should know about me!” The baby laughed mischievously. “You really didn’t think that you would find enough flecks from the Immortal-slaying Sword. Luckily you did! Otherwise, I would not have come out!”

“Those flecks, where did you put them?”

“Those flecks are useless to you, but they are a small advantage to me. I have already absorbed all of their murderous intent.” The baby gestured with a nonchalant expression, making Zhou Bao almost irate.

“Okay, then. I’m not going to ask you for the flecks. But you still haven’t told me what use you have for them!”

“Me? I have no use for them! But if you get any good stuff, I can help you keep it!” The baby had a crafty look on his face. “There’s nothing else I can do!”

“Hey, don’t mess around with me! You have such a huge murderous intent, you cannot play such an ordinary role!” Zhou Bao said.

“Murderous intent? What kind of murderous intent? My murderous intent was produced during the origin of primitive times, do you think you would be able to use it?” The baby curled up its lip in contempt. “I’m telling you, as well as the Sword Qi murderous intent you practiced before, I can help you a bit. But if you want anything else, you can forget about it. I’ve been too badly hurt, I’ve only recovered a little bit of spiritual sense, that’s it. You will need too much Dharma power to activate my body. Your Mysterious Icy Divine Light is of supreme quality, but it is still far from enough. If you activate me by force, it will backfire because of my murderous intent. You would die before you even knew what happened!” The baby said with an expert tone to Zhou Bao, “I see that you have just condensed your Three Flowers. Wait until you are cultivated to the Immortal phase, then you might be able to do it.”

“Really? Is it that difficult?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. When my murderous intent backfires, don’t blame me!” The baby grinned. “I have only just recovered a bit of my Original Spirit, I do not have the strength to restrict my murderous intent. So you cannot count on me to help you out!”

“So, where did you actually come from?” Zhou Bao could do nothing to persuade him. He wanted to try but was not brave enough. So he had no choice but to give up.

“I don’t know my origin either. I told you, I have only recovered a little bit of Original Spirit. There are still so many things I can’t remember!”

“Then how did you immediately recognize that this was the Easter Land and that Hidden Treasure was the Duke of the East’s secondary palace?”

“Don’t be stupid, I didn’t lose all my memory!” the baby said with an impatient and disappointed expression.
