“I tried but still failed!” Zhou Bao didn’t care about so many things, nor did he consider so many factors like the suzerains of the three major sects. Moreover, the Supreme Fairy Weapon was actually made by him, so he had nothing to worry about.
However, after the two-man show he performed with White Tiger during the banquet, the other four sects were obviously even more scared of him and more determined about their trip to the Infinite Star Sea. Even if Immortal Palace was increasing its great influence, it could not reverse the determination of the four sects. Speaking of Yan Yuntian, he was known as the candidate of Human Emperor, but he has just taken the seat. Even though he has not made up his mind which side to support, he had no say in the matter.
So when Zhou Bao heard this news three days later, he said with a rueful smile. “As you are the candidate of Human Emperor and act as the host of the Infinite Star Sea Exploration, how can you have no say at all?”
“Of course I have the right to speak, but I still hope you to stay and help me stabilize the situation. How would I let you go?” Yan Yuntian said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you would hide so thoroughly! How is it possible you are from the Immortal Palace!”
“Sounds weird?” Zhou Bao shrugged, “Have you ever thought that how could I ever have made such a big fuss without the support of the five biggest sects?”
“Yeah, your growing strength did astonish me! Nobody would believe it if you didn’t have supporters behind, but I never thought the one behind you was Immortal Palace!”
“Well, Immortal Palace helped me in a very secret way. Neither Immortal Palace nor I want it to go public. Still, we’ve not found a good chance to let you know until now.”
“Until now?”
“Yeah, we couldn’t tell you till now.” Zhou Bao said with a smile.
“Well, what do you want to say about me, the candidate of Human Emperor?”
“I’m on your side, and so is Immortal Palace naturally, but you know that it is impossible to expect the Immortal Palace to act like Divine Wind Palace. However, if you need help, they will provide you with what you want, and if you have something inconvenient to show up, Immortal Palace will also help you do what you want.”
“I see.”
Yan Yuntian was finally relieved after hearing his words because they meant that Immortal Palace wouldn’t lord it over him as Divine Wind Palace did. Furthermore, they would even give him a favor and compete with Divine Wind Palace when he needed help. Anyway, it was still too early to consider these things.
Human Emperor Palace was within the sphere of influence of Divine Wind Palace and was someone else’s territory. The dragon, as said, does not oppress the local bully. If the relationship with Divine Wind Palace was rocky from the very beginning, he would be the only one who suffered from it.
As he realized all this, he decided to sit back. It was said the candidates of Human Emperor on the history always suffered natural deaths, but if he really irritated Divine Wind Palace, he was likely to get himself killed.
“By the way, I heard that you did a good job in the Northwest. The whole northwest region now has centered on your Wuyang Region and also built lots of palaces!” After thinking about it, he decided to drive this matter away for now and changed the subject.
“I built a Sea-calming Palace!” Hearing Yan Yuntian suddenly mentioning it, Zhou Bao felt puzzled for a moment and immediately understood what he truly wanted. “Why? Father wants to move the Human Emperor Palace into Wuyang Region, don’t you?”
“Not really, but I do have the right to decide where my temporary imperial abode is located at as the candidate of Human Emperor, don’t I?”
“Your temporary imperial abode? that’s not a good excuse. However, how is it possible to stay in your temporary imperial abode for a lifetime?”
“So what? It’s no big deal to be a bad emperor. I suppose Yu Taixu of Divine Wind Palace wouldn’t like to guard me all day long.” Yan Yuntian laughed.
“I don’t know if he would like to guard you all day long, but I don’t like to see you all day long! ” Zhou Bao shook his head. “You just got to be the candidate of Human Emperor. I think you’d better take it easy and stay here for a while. Don’t get yourself in trouble.”
Yan Yuntian hearing Zhou Bao putting it so bluntly, let out a wry smile across his lips. “Hey, boy! Can’t you be a little more tactful?”
“You’re not even a beauty. Why should I be that tactful?” Zhou Bao rolled his eyes and continued, “Since I can’t go to the Infinite Star Sea, I’ll go back first. I’ve been wasting a lot of time here. Yunfei might be very worried about me. I have to be off now!”
“Fine, go away. Since I’m already crowned I should not have anyone daring to hold a grudge against me.” Yan Yuntian changed his joyful expression for a sadder one as he heard Zhou Bao was leaving.
Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony has come to an end, and he had successfully become a candidate of Human Emperor and mastered the justice and power of the whole world. However, it was all merely nominal. He was a bit reluctant to accept it, but he knew clearly that he could do nothing. Even if he didn’t want to, it was not possible to take back all the authorities at once. Since he could do nothing, the only thing he could do was to wait silently for the best opportunity to rise again. After so many years of being an emperor, he has grown as a man with foresight.
“By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you! ” Yan Yuntian seemed to think of something important, and he suddenly looked grim.
“What is it?”
“About that Supreme Fairy Weapon and our macro world, I know some secrets of them!” Yan Yuntian looked up and said in a low voice to Zhou Bao. “Although I don’t keep power, as a candidate of Human Emperor, however, along these three days I have been informed of a lot of extremely secretive news, and only the five biggest sects know them clearly!”
Zhou Bao nearly burst out laughing when he heard about the weapon. He just wanted to hear some secrets about the macro world from Yan Yuantian himself, and it seemed to have worked great!
Yan Yuntian had no option but to tell Zhou Bao about this matter and the secrets of the macro world. He was the candidate of Human Emperor indeed, but at the same time, he was just a commander without soldiers. Looking around, none of them in Divine Wind Palace subordinated themselves to him, and none could be used by him. Only Zhou Bao, his talented son-in-law, who assisted him in ascending the throne, could be trusted. In addition to this, he expected to take advantage of Zhou Bao’s connections to make close contact with Immortal Palace to be able to compete against Divine Wind Palace in the future. Immortal Palace would not conceal anything from Zhou Bao due to his strength and influence for too long. If he waited until the Immortal Palace would tell him everything clearly, he was going to be in a passive position by that time. In fact, what he was most worried about before was that Zhou Bao had already known something, but now he saw Zhou Bao’s expression which indicated he had no clue about it. He was greatly relieved.
“You’ve already seen the power of the Supreme Fairy Weapon, but it has some restrictions and can’t exist within our macro world.”
“The Supreme Fairy Weapon, as its name implies, has a superior power” Whenever Yan Yuntian said “Supreme Fairy Weapon”, Zhou Bao’s eyes glittered with jealousy and, of course, a hint of admiration.
“The weapon itself is not necessarily that important, but the point is I had no clue what the messages it left meant the first time I saw them.”
“Do you understand them now?” Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Bao looked a bit curious. “I remembered the Supreme Fairy Weapon was saying something like the Heaven Realm as it left. What was it all about?”
“The macro world where we reside was the one where the Heaven Realm was located in antiquity times.” Yan Yuntian tried to calm down. Every time he thought of this matter, he actually couldn’t help but tremble with fear.
Indeed, the Heaven Realm which ruled heavens and realms was such a powerful world. What does it look like?
However, the Heaven Realm was no longer what it used to be, it has completely declined, it was a mere shadow of what it used to be.
“You must know something about the 33 Heavens, right? The Taiyuan Heaven, which you’ve been to, is also a micro world.” Looking at Zhou Bao, Yan Yuntian explained unhurriedly. “Although there are a few Principles of Great Ways in the micro worlds, they are not complete, so they cannot be called a real world. The world in which we live can be called a macro world. The Principle of Great Ways of the macro world is complete, and there are sun, moon, thunder, independent will, and endless space and time. This is a true macro world!”
“In the endless hollow, there are countless macro worlds similar to ours. Some of them are very strong and some are very weak. However, in antiquity times, the most powerful macro world was ours, also known as the Heaven Realm. The ruler of the Heaven Realm was the Jade Emperor who not only ruled over it but also all the heavens and realms of the universe. Almost all the macro worlds were subjected to him. At that time, there were countless macro worlds around the Heaven Realm divided into 99 Star Areas. These Star Areas were controlled by the 99 Emperors of the antiquity times. Each of them had an immeasurable influence, and they could even determine if a macro world lived or died. They were extremely imposing!” His eyes involuntarily showed a hint of yearning as if he recalled the glorious days of the Heaven Realm.
“What happened then?”
“Then that tribulation came upon us. Unfortunately, no one knew the details of this tribulation, even the five biggest sects have no clue. They just know that tribulation was called the Necromancer’s Tribulation. After that, the strength of the Heaven Realm was greatly damaged, the 99 Emperors lost more than half of their strength, and the rest were seriously injured. At the same time, the strength of each macro world was booming. Seizing the opportunity, they began to plot together secretly. The Jade Emperor noticed that something was wrong and decided to take a bold step and move the entire Heaven Realm from the Central Star Area into an unknown space by casting a surprising Divine Sense of Great Way of Heavens and Realms!”
