“You might not know why the Necromancer’s Tribulation happened, but I do.” Zhou Bao said in his heart. Then he remembered when he’d seen Silver Frost Castle in the Star Area of Azure Big World that day. “It seems Silver Frost Castle is really from another macro world. When I encounter it, I got carried away by my greed. However, it was not that bad for me actually because the people there didn’t take action due to their suspicion, but unfortunately, if those two guys hadn’t died, I could have found out some secrets from other macro worlds as well.”
It was indeed a pity, but since it has already happened and cannot be changed, Zhou Bao would not keep lamenting about it anymore. There would be many chances in the future.
At present, the most compelling problem for them was the Infinite Star Sea. Nobody would guess that the Supreme Fairy Weapon had been created by him, so he was in a good position. What’s more, nobody would believe him if he made a confession. The Supreme Fairy Weapon, after all, was a mere tale. Even the suzerains from the five biggest sects who were passed on by their ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago have never seen such a thing. Thus, all these suzerains felt as he did when he saw a UFO or aliens in his previous life: with confusion and anxiety. They would also consider it as an opportunity to leave the Heaven Realm and to explore other macro worlds and Star Areas as well as manage the power from other macro worlds. As a result, the trip to the Infinite Star Sea was scheduled in advance.
“Do you really think you can stop me from going to the Infinite Star Sea, huh? Come on! All I need to do is to have the coordinates and then I can go without a Transmitting Formation. It won’t take too long with the power of the Great Way of Heavens and Realms added to the Supreme Fairy Weapon.” Zhou Bao thought in his mind. “But since they want to stop me, I’m convinced they won’t take me to the magic formation. So should I take this chance to sneak there?”
Touching his chin, Zhou Bao was pondering the possibility of reaching the Infinite Star Sea from Penglai Region to the Transmitting Formation of the Central Mainland Region.
“Are you still thinking about going to the Infinite Star Sea?” asked Elder Qing, watching his frowning face.
“Yes. I think it will be a great experience to explore other Star Areas. You know, I’m the kind of person who has some luck. If I make it to Infinite Star Sea, maybe I will run into some Divine Fate or Supreme Fairy Weapon!” he joked.
“Hahahaha, stop dreaming!” Elder Qing laughed after hearing what Zhou Bao said. “You think the Supreme Fairy Weapon is cabbage, don’t you?”
“Of course not, and neither is the Pure Yang Celestial Device!” Zhou Bao smiled.
“Totally different!” Hearing Zhou Bao’s words, Elder Qing seemed confounded a moment and then his eyes flashed with a bizarre look. “Celestial devices and fairy weapons are two entirely different things. One with mere fate would not easily get fairy weapon. Get real, buddy! The Infinite Star Sea is not a place you can explore.”
“Is there anything else about Infinite Star Sea you know?”
“No. All I know is that there used to be only half a Void Map and the other half was missing, so we couldn’t explore it deeply. However, the five biggest sects have explored around the Transmitting Formation and the conclusion we got was extremely dangerous!”
“Since it is so dangerous, why did you take positive action?”
“Because we achieved a lot, too!” Elder Qing sighed as if it reminded him of something from long ago. “As a Star Area, the Infinite Star Sea is different from the Azure Heaven. Micro worlds like Azure Heaven and Taiyuan Heaven are just full of spiritual qi and endless resources, but the Infinite Star Sea is quite exceptional. The first time we tried to explore it, Divine Wind Palace surprisingly got a fairy weapon which was the leaf-shaped one you saw on Taiyuan Heaven. Moreover, other sects got lots of Pure Yang Celestial Devices, magic weapons, materials, classics, celestial devices from antiquity times and even smelting methods of fairy weapon.”
“You’re kidding me?” Zhou Bao was really surprised. He hadn’t expected they would have achieved so much by just exploring around the Transmitting Formation. If he himself dug deeper, there would be probably more. Zhou Bao suddenly became more tempted.
“It was because of these achievements we got, that all of us were fully prepared to go deeply to the Infinite Star Sea again. However, we suffered great losses that time. We had hundreds of people who were Individual Immortals higher than Mysterious Realm. In the end, less than ten people made it back, the others were all stuck in the Infinite Star Sea.”
“What’s wrong? Have you got into any troubles?!”
“I don’t know. I was there only for the first time. For the second time, only two people came back alive. One of them was seriously injured and the other went mad. When all the information was gathered together, we found out there were many restricted areas in Infinite Star Sea, and all of these restricted areas were extremely dangerous. Accidents would happen unless you were really careful. And there were incredibly powerful and mysterious creatures above a huge star in the Infinite Star Sea. These creatures were stronger than Metaphysic Individual Immortals, and some of them even reached the level of Lord of Heaven. Our people were no rivals at all against them. Since then, no one dared to go deep into Infinite Star Sea, but the surrounding area of the Transmitting Formation was completely explored several times. Therefore, it would be useless to go again because we could get nothing there. We have been searching for the other half of the Void Map and no one expected that it would be in Yan Yuntian’s hands!”
“My father-in-law seems so sophisticated!” Zhou Bao smiled. “How could he screw around on me and achieve everything only with that half of the Void Map!”
“You’re wrong. It was due to your strength that he finally got everything. The Void Map was just an excuse.” Shaking his head, Elder Qing replied. “Now everyone believes you’re the trump card cultivated by our Immortal Palace, but you know you also have another identity. The real one behind you is the Fate Creation Boy rather than us.”
“How could you know it!”
“Fate Creation Boy has been so mysterious. I actually have no interest in him, but this time he hid behind us as a shield. I’d say he owed us a favor.”
“How could your Immortal Palace care about him with your current strength?” Zhou Bao smiled, “Actually, I knew little about him too.”
“Of course I know that. In terms of his acting style, everything he does means a lot. So it’s quite natural he would not tell you his real purpose!”
“That’s true!” Seeing Elder Qing agree with him, Zhou Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued. “Since the Infinite Star Sea is so dangerous, why did you send only one Lord of Heaven?”
“It’s no use sending too many people!” Elder Qing shook his head and continued, “the biggest problem for us to Infinite Star Sea is just that there is no ideal path. We suffered a good loss last time because we didn’t have the Void Map. We were so impulsive and ended up in the forbidden place. Actually, the forbidden places are labeled on the other half of the Void Map. If we had the complete map, we could’ve avoided these places.”
“Does Void Map really have such effects?”
“It is the result of the ancestors’ exploration. Where they could go, where they couldn’t, and where there is any danger. They are all clearly marked one by one, even in some strange places, vanity maps will automatically refresh and clearly tell the most detailed situation of that place!” his eyes showed yearning and admiration as he spoke.”In ancient times, this was the celestial world. Countless great supernatural beings left our world to explore the endless vanity, and these vanity maps were handed down at that time. Every great avatar who returned safely will see and hear what he saw. In addition to those who really want to explore the unknown regions, there are many immortals who’d like to roam the void. Vanity map is an essential tool! ”
“I didn’t expect that Void Map was so important!” Shaking his head, Zhou Bao finally realized why the five biggest sects cared about it so much.
“So you must know something about the Infinite Star Sea from the Void Map, right?”
“Not too much. The Void Map can only react and covey more messages when it’s within the Infinite Star Sea.” Elder Qing smiled and continued, “But don’t worry. We just have to try this time. If we get on well this time, I’m sure we’ll have many opportunities when we have the complete Void Map in the future.”
“I’m afraid the most benefits will be taken at the first time.”
“Maybe. However, the Infinite Star Sea is pretty big. It is not easy to take away everything in one shot. I believe you will succeed in reaching into the Infinite Star Sea with your current strength and the help of the Human Emperor.” As the implication in these words was very clear, Zhou Bao comprehended what he meant. He smiled and replied, “The candidate of Human Emperor still needs my support at present, so how could he support me? However, I have to admit that I do need your help. After all, we need to help each other, right?”
“Right! Right! We’d better support each other.” Elder Qing nodded his head with a look of complete satisfaction.
