Chapter 672: Hei Chou's Appearance
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"The Heaven Realm World, King Wuyuan Palace, Zhou Bao!"
A faint figure walked into the King Wuyuan Palace. By then, he had already arrived at the gate of the inner yard. Although people were coming and going around, even some Level Eight or Nine experts patrolling, no one sensed his presence.
"There is something in the palace. Such a secret formation is laid in the inner yard! This little trick can stump others, but can't stump me!"
The name of Hei Chou was weird, meaning black and ugly, but he surprisingly looked the opposite of his name's meaning. He was tall and white. His fantastic purple hair fell over his shoulders and his face was very delicate. If he showed up, he would definitely be regarded as a stunning woman. No one could tell he was actually a man.
"This formation, though not very marvelous, is quite ingenious. It can effectively isolate the inquiry of the Divine Awareness. Zhou Bao seems to take his family very seriously. Haha, young people all have this shortcoming. If I should have his family under control, I would have a much higher chance of blackmailing him. He has a high position in the Seven-deity Regions. To control him is of great help to my Black Mountain World. Well, I'll do it. Take control of his family first!"
As a matter of fact, as the son of the Old Demon of Black Mountain, Hei Chou was the oldest Crown Prince in the Black Mountain World. He might look very young, but he had started a feud with Child-endowing Buddha in the antiquity times. The antiquity times had ended about 810,000 years, so he was at least a million years old. He was also one of the 10 most important and powerful men in the Black Mountain World.
This time the Old Demon of Black Mountain sent him to the Heaven Realm World with great hope and an important mission.
The Black Mountain World, unlike many other macro worlds, had been under the control of the Old Demon of Black Mountain since the antiquity times. He could be said to be a peerless expert, the one who got all the fate and dragon vein of the Black Mountain World.
The Old Demon of Black Mountain had dominated his macro world for a really long time and was second only to the 99 Emperors of the antiquity times, so he knew a lot of secrets. In addition, he had a deep understanding of the Heaven Realm World, and he was well aware of the many famous sects and Taoist rites of the antiquity times and knew a little about their secrets too. Therefore, he had great confidence in seizing the Hidden Treasure in the Heaven Realm World.
It was because of this that he sent Hei Chou here to get the most out of the Heaven Realm World before other macro worlds reacted.
After coming to the Heaven Realm World, instead of acting rashly, Hei Chou spent months surreptitiously learning the secrets of it. He learned that much of the Heaven Realm World was now ruled by the Sea Emperor, who was no less powerful than his father, and that he was so mysterious that no one knew exactly where he came from. By contrast, the power distribution of the Seven-deity Regions ruled by humans was very clear.
For him, it was not difficult to kill an Individual Immortal or even a Genuine Immortal in the Seven-deity Regions, and then draw and refine his or her spirit to get the information he wanted.
So, in the shortest possible time, he had investigated the situation of the Seven-deity Regions.
Then Zhou Bao caught his attention.
Compared to other sects that were deep-rooted, unfathomable, with many bluffs and complex internal relations, Zhou Bao's Wuyang Region was much simpler and didn't have much foundation. In his eyes, Zhou Bao's hard work in the last over 10 years was nothing. The whole Wuyang Region was built and supported by Zhou Bao himself, so Zhou Bao had complete ownership and absolute dominance of this territory. Then to control Zhou Bao was equivalent to controlling the whole Wuyang Region which was extremely important in the Seven-deity Regions.
So, as a matter of course, he had his eye on Zhou Bao. As for Zhou Bao's strength, he simply ignored it.
Although Zhou Bao had been getting stronger and stronger over the past few years, and his strength had surpassed the Lord of Heaven and reached the Human Immortal, in Hei Chou's opinion, the Human Immortal didn't deserve any scruple.
250,000 years ago, he had broken through to the realm of Immortal.
However, he could not fully demonstrate his power of an Immortal in the Wuyang Region or even in the hollow. Wuyang Region was in the domain of the Heaven Realm World. Once he fully exerted his combat capability, he would be suppressed by the rules of this unique macro world, which meant he fought against the whole Heaven Realm World. And if he wandered around carelessly in the hollow, there would be the Void Thunder Tribulation.
He must have been prepared for it. The Old Demon of Black Mountain would not allow him to come to the Heaven Realm World alone unless he brought some secret skills along with some Pure Yang Celestial Devices or even fairy weapons to enable him to exert his greatest combat capability for a long time.
He secretly sneaked into Wuyang Region for fear of attracting attention, because he wanted to subdue Zhou Bao stealthily.
Obviously, his wishful thinking was too good to be true.
It was because in the Heaven Realm World, although Zhou Bao was very famous, only a few people knew his real strength, and even his wife Yan Yunfei was not quite certain about it. Though the Individual Immortals and Genuine Immortals caught by Hei Chou knew about Zhou Bao, they never thought that Zhou Bao had such strength and good fate. As a result, Hei Chou underestimated Zhou Bao's power, which became the root of his tragedy.
Having made up his mind to threaten Zhou Bao with his family, Hei Chou immediately went to the inner yard of King Wuyuan Palace. But just as he stepped one foot, a light mist suddenly appeared.
The mist had appeared without warning, and Hei Chou's spiritual mind had not even noticed how it rose. But he realized it at the moment it appeared. With a slight trembling, he changed into a faint black mist and ran straight toward the inner yard.
"You are so stubborn!"
The moment he turned into the black mist, a clear voice sounded in his ear. Then he found that the space around him got confused.
The power of space was not mysterious for practitioners like them. The Ghost Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm could condense out the Self-world, so needless to say, he could do it, too. The layers of space around his body fluctuated like ordinary micro-worlds. And when one became an Earthly Immortal, they could even condense out their own macro world.
After Earthly Immortals condensed out their own macro worlds, they were as Fate Creators, so the Fate Creation Listener could not control the Earthly Immortals anymore. With more effort, they may even be able to condense out something like the Jade Plate of Fate, which could allow them to enter the Immortal Realm freely.
Yet, few Earthly Immortals were willing to condense out their own complete macro worlds, because there were too many Dharma in a complete macro world, and some mysteries of creation were involved, so complete macro worlds were not practical. Each Earthly Immortal's macro world had their own characteristics, and only when they became Celestial Immortals could they make their macro worlds perfectly. That was why the Celestial Immortal was also called a creator.
But even in the antiquity times, no one had ever seen a Celestial Immortal, let alone now.
As the practice went on, the practitioners would encounter more and more difficulties, and the pace of the practice would slow down. No matter who it was, in the early brave and diligent efforts, the cultivation may advance rapidly, but after breaking through to the realm of Human Immortal, the speed of cultivation and phase would slow down greatly. It usually took hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to ascend one rank.
When Zhou Bao, who owned powerful foundation and fate, broke through from the Realm of Ghost Immortal to the Realm of Human Immortal, it had only been 10 years in the temporal world, but he spent more than 300 years in the Azure Big World, where had superior conditions. In addition, when consolidating the state, he spent nearly 100 years with Wang She and Child-endowing Buddha.
From the evolution of the Azure Big World to his practice to the present state, Zhou Bao had spent nearly 500 years practicing intensely and with almost optimal conditions.
500 years was enough for the Monkey Sun to come out of the Five Elements Mountain.
It took him nearly 500 years to reach his present state. It would definitely take longer if he wanted to keep improving.
Anyway, those whose cultivation was as high as Hei Chou and Zhou Bao's had their own Self-world, and the mystery of space was not very profound for them. At least the ordinary means of space could not affect them. The surrounding spaces seemed to be invisible doors that were open to him, but as the mist rose, the doors suddenly closed. But it didn't bother him because he could open them at any time. However, with the doors closed, the original road was lost, and the location of the doors all changed. In a word, what was once a very clear and organized space was now a space-time maze, a mess.
Hei Chou's brows drew together in a frown, and a hint of foreboding came into his mind. No matter who unknowingly did this, it was enough to draw attention to him.
"I'm Hei Chou from the Black Mountain World. Please tell me who you are."
"Humph!" He heard a cold snort. Then the space around him suddenly shattered and vanished into the hollow.
Hei Chou's face became gloomy. He was led into the hollow before he knew it.
