“Although it is said the Heaven Realm has already declined, the original power of this macro world is still enormous. The Azure Big World is also some kind of macro world, but it is much poorer in comparison. Anyone without a strong willpower would be shattered by its tremendous power. Ordinary people can never compete with that!” Earlier in the Azure Big World, the flow of horrific messages from the Jade Plate of Fate conveyed to him was still engraved deeply in his mind.
Now that it has been determined that in the macro world there was some kind of unseen destiny which could dominate everything, he could no longer act recklessly.
Except for the five biggest sects, the nearest to the unseen destiny in the whole world was the throne.
That is the throne of the emperor.
One who could beat all the rivals to the throne is undoubtedly the chosen by destiny, and only such a person could secure the throne. Some other people may work hard to secure a place in the world. However, it was certainly sheer luck. They could never secure the most distinguished position and would eventually end up descending from the throne.
On the other hand, Zhou Bao had already witnessed Yan Yuntian full of auspicious fate which could even overshadow the fate of the Heavenly Crown of Peace when crowned as Human Emperor. At that moment, Zhou Bao could even feel the dark purple fate surrounding him nearly condensed into substance, and he also wafted a strong smell of Qi of heaven and earth. Although he has despised his father-in-law, he had to treat him with caution and cared much about Jin. Nowadays, Jin was said to be the biggest dynasty in the Central Mainland Region, so the throne no doubt has been the center of attention.
Since Yan Yuntian had reached the peak of his strength, his power weakened severely after two accidents. However, he remained in firm control of the whole situation. Now that he became the candidate of Human Emperor, he would be considered dead for the dynasty. So who should succeed to the throne of Jin?
The Crown Prince should be the one to succeed to the throne, naturally.
Yan Yuntian had many sons who were in the prime of life and full of ambition, and even each one of their birth destinies was rather imperatorial.
Anyway, all went according to one’s strength, and the one who had this was only Yan Yuntian.
Now nobody could doubt his position. As he gave up the throne, his son would succeed to the throne of Jin as expected.
Regardless of the opposition of his other sons, they could not do anything as nobody would support a Prince who has lost his power and influence at the risk of offending the candidate of Human Emperor.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince was a merciful person. He wouldn’t criticize severely his ambitious brothers. Instead, he put his heart and soul into affairs of his state. As the Regent of Jin, he hasn’t ascended to the throne now for he had to wait until the ascending ceremony, and the candidate of Human Emperor must be in the ascending ceremony.
Since the trip to Infinite Star Sea was the main focus of Yan Yuntian, he didn’t even bother to think about the big changes of Jin. This was the reason why the Crown Prince had the buffer time to get himself prepared.
“Brother Prince has already prepared himself, but I guess he wants to wait for our father. Do you think my father is so busy that the ascending ceremony will have to be delayed, Zhou Bao?”
“Of course he’s busy. He’s up to something of utmost importance!” Zhou Bao smiled bitterly and continued, “The present cannot compare with the past. Your father now is not only the King of Jin but also the leader of the entire Four Eastern Regions. All the chiefs in the world should obey him. What he does is for the entire Four Eastern Regions rather than just Jin. So I suppose it doesn’t really matter to delay the ascending ceremony. As long as Brother Prince is patient and doesn’t act on impulse, everything will just be fine.”
“What are you so worried about?”
“As long as he doesn’t offend me, nobody will be able to threaten his throne. Otherwise, nobody can protect him from me.” Zhou Bao said in a flat voice which showed his sheer confidence and dignity.
“How would it be possible to offend you? I don’t think Brother Prince would lose his mind to do so.”
“Yes, I believe in him, so his throne is as steady as Mount Tai.”
“Mount Tai? What do you mean?” Yan Yunfei was confused and her question somehow embarrassed Zhou Bao, because the customs and language here were similar to ancient China but there wasn’t a Mount Tai in this place.
“That is just a mountain in the Penglai Region. If there is a chance, I’ll take you there.”
“Really?” Yan Yunfei’s eyes lit up. Since she got married in the Wuyang Region, she has never left there except when she went back to the capital city. Although Wuyang Region became more and more prosperous, powerful and majestic and it gave a weird sense of achievement, she was eagerly looking forward to walking around out of the Wuyang Region.
Zhou Bao looked at her cheerful face and felt a flicker of interest. He knew Yan Yunfei has been trapped in the Wuyang Region these years after she had married to him. Zhou Bao himself was not the one who managed household affairs in the family, but Yan Yunfei kept all the things in perfect order. He suddenly felt he owed her a lot. However, he was reluctant to express his own emotions, so he didn’t pour out all his feelings and just said, “Penglai Region means nothing. If possible, I’ll take you far away and have a look at a completely different world.”
“A completely different world?”
“Yes! I promise as long as you won’t be scared then.” Zhou Bao said, grinning at her. Then he patted Yan Yunfei’s back softly and they cuddled together in the garden, in a warm and sweet moment.
The white storm heaved huge waves up to the sky.
Undoubtedly, the sea was the most extensive and powerful area among the Heaven Realm.
Likewise, as the Celestial Emperor in the Sea Area had such power and endless resources and subordinates, he could easily be the strongest figure in the entire Heaven Realm.
To put it bluntly, Seven-deity Regions was simply the largest island and maintained the most special status within the sea in the Heaven Realm.
For human beings in Seven-deity Regions, the Sea Emperor has been a mystery so far. Since antiquity times, speculation has been growing about him either by the Four Eastern Regions or by the Three Western Regions. The Elders, Highest Elders and other suzerains in large sects have also had a growing interest in the Sea Emperor, but nobody was able to dig out anything about him.
It could be said that the Sea Emperor was the most mysterious figure in the Heaven Realm.
It was known to all that the Sea Area was boundless, but there were quite a few formidable figures in the Seven-deity Regions like Genuine Immortals of Lord of Heaven Realm who mastered Dharma of space and had a superhuman power like teleportation. It was natural that the vast Sea Area could not hold them back, but actually, only these powerful Lords of Heaven knew that the activity range of human beings was limited in the Seven-deity Regions among the Heaven Realm, approximately 1,800 kilometers.
No matter how high your accomplishment was or how strong your strength was, your activity range in the Heaven Realm was only 1,800 kilometers centered on the Seven-deity Regions.
It was really no big deal for ordinary people, but such range was more like a huge prison for these Lords of Heaven.
It was nothing less than a shame for those who knew the ropes. Since antiquity times, many facts have proven that you would be attacked furiously by Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area without exception once you stepped out the range, no matter how unwilling or shameful you were.
Therefore, nobody knew what it was exactly 1,800 kilometers away from human beings in the Seven-deity Regions.
Nobody knew what it was 1,800 kilometers away, and nobody knew how big the macro world actually was. Thus, the Sea Emperor seemed more of a mystery.
At that time, there was an island more than 150 million kilometers away from the Seven-deity Regions. The island was different because it was extremely dark blue entirely, like a huge blue jade.
This blue island was rare in the Sea Area, without a single building or grass and full of spiritual Qi.
“What is wrong with those Human Tribes in the Seven-deity Regions again? How dare they bother Prime Minister Zhong so we had to rush here?”
At this moment, several shadows were looming on the horizon, approaching swiftly to the island. These shadows looked brilliant and dazzling and each of them looked like a good-looking human being. However with a second look, it was clear every single one of them had non-human characteristics.
For example, some had scales on the forehead, and others had gills behind the ears or horns on the head. These features clearly indicated that they were Demonic Immortals who had pulled from Thunder Tribulation and transformed from the Demon tribe, rather than Human Tribe.
“I don’t know. As Prime Minister Zhong Jr. called a meeting in person, I guess there must be something happening.” A young and handsome man who had o horn on his forehead said, “Maybe it was related to the abnormal weather earlier, I guess.”
“I think so. What else could the Human Tribe do, since they have lost their influence?”
“I have no idea. Let’s wait and see how things go.”
They said that while walking. When they had almost arrived, they were suddenly shrouded by several blue rays that came out from the island. After a while, all of them have vanished as the lights faded.
