“What? I’ve only been away for five days?!”

After Zhou Bao returned to the Wuyang Region, everything was normal at the beginning. The first thing he did was to summon his subordinates in order to inquire them about what had happened in this world during his three-year absence. Their answers really surprised him. He had only been away for five days! Even Zhu Ba had not departed for his journey to a southern place.

“Yes, Your Excellency. You’ve been away for just five days, and I’m now ready for departure!” Watching Zhou Bao’s poker face and the unfathomable light in his eyes, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao gave Zhu Ba a look. As Zhou Bao’s cultivation enhanced day by day, he became more solemn. Under these circumstances, Jiang Xiao and Wang Cheng were quite prudent when communicating with Zhou Bao. However, Zhu Ba was simple-minded and straightforward. He was poised in front of Zhou Bao.

“What? You’re only ready to leave now?! You little brat! Did you need five days to prepare for departure? Are you going to move there?” Zhou Bao scolded him coldly and added on, saying, “Hurry up. Do you need me to send you there in person with tears?”

Upon hearing that, Zhu Ba trembled with fear and his flesh crept. He shook his head and said, “No, I don’t. I’ll go. I’ll go right now!”

Terrified and hurried, Zhu Ba left. Watching this scene, Zhou Bao was overjoyed. He waved his hand to Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao, and said, “Fine. You two can leave now!”

“Yes!” The two replied in unison.

” Five days! Only five days! I spent three and a half years in that space, but in this world, only five days passed. It means that the flow of time in that space is much quicker than this world. One day in this world almost equals to one year in that space. To be precise, one day in this world equals eight months in that space. Therefore, though I’ve stayed there for three and a half years, only five days passed in this world. It’s amazing! If anyone disobeys me the next time, I’ll throw him into that space and lock him there for one or two years. Damn! I’ll let him die there!”

Of course, that was just a wicked thought of his.

He surely knew the great value of that space. Not only was it filled with abundant spiritual Qi, its time flowed quite quickly. One year in this world equaled hundreds of years there. Compared with this world, it was a better place to cultivate excellent talents. However, he did not plan to reveal information about it so quickly. It was more valuable than Taihao Fairy Weapons. We could even say that if that damned Divine Wind Palace obtained it, they could replace Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven with it. Then, they will not bother to obtain the Azure Secret Area.

An innocent man would get into trouble on account of his wealth. Any wise man could understand this logic.

He would conceal the information about that space, but not the scheme of Divine Wind Palace. After all, he was not a selfless model.

“Oh, I forgot about that well. With Divine Wind Palace’s background and strength, they probably can find that space, following clues they’ve acquired as I entered it. If so, the fact that the Wuyang Region was a place of Nine Dragons convergency would be revealed to them. That can be bad!”

Thinking of this, he dared not stay any longer. He flew towards that mysterious canyon, riding on a gust of wind.

Upon his arrival, he saw Little Du walking around that well. It howled from time to time as if it was calling someone. It had a strong spiritual connection with Zhou Bao. However, as Zhou Bao became more and more powerful, this connection became a unilateral one; Zhou Bao could contact it, but it could not sense him. When Zhou Bao was too busy to remember it, it could not figure out Zhou Bao’s condition. It only knew that Zhou Bao had disappeared after jumping down the well and that he could not hear it no matter how it tried to call him. After three days, it became restless. Hence, when it saw Zhou Bao, it ran towards him delightedly.

“M, m, master…!”

“Okay, okay. Stop calling me. I know what you want to say. Don’t worry. I’m back. Everything is fine!” Zhou Bao gently caressed Little Du’s silky hair and smiled. He added on, saying, “You’ve worked hard these few days!”

“No, it’s not hard at all!”

“Well, I’ve figured out this place.” Zhou Bao patted Little Du’s head, and a strand of strong Pure Yang Qi entered its head, spreading throughout its body. “You go back first and practice according to the method I taught you. Great changes are about to take place. Don’t run about when you’re free like the past. All right?”

“Yeah, I know. M, master,” replied Little Du. It absorbed the Pure Yang Qi transmitted by Zhou Bao into its Dantian and left there.

“Gosh. Why didn’t I find this place before? It’s in my territory. But few people have come here because it’s too desolate. Therefore, no one has discovered it except me!” After Little Du left, Zhou Bao focused his eyes on the mouth of the well and closed his eyes slowly. He was carefully sensing the unobservable and mysterious waves that were emitted from the mouth of the well.

“Yes, this is the force of the dragon veins after the Nine Dragons convergency took place. It can be stimulated through that strange place. As the force spread around, gradually it will cover the entire Wuyang Region and make it a place for Nine Dragons convergency!”

As Zhou Bao thought of this, he operated Snake-like Breath Holding Skill again and entered the well.

He was more familiar with this place than last time. He had stayed in that grey space for over three years to refine its Spatial Core. Thus, his comprehension of space was terrifying yet excellent. The formation in this well was marvelous and mysterious, so he could see no flaw in it. However, Zhou Bao could see the Space Passage under the well that led to the mysterious place very clearly.

“What a fool am I! I used to open this passageway through Great Fusion Technic!” Feeling the faint spatial wave, Zhou Bao smiled coldly. “I don’t care whether Divine Wind Palace is able to find the passageway leading here through the spatial wave emitted from the space I had entered, I’ll destroy this passageway first. Damn it! I don’t need a place of Nine Dragons convergency. I don’t want to be an emperor!” Zhou Bao smiled coldly and stretched his hands forward. As his hands entered a void, a silver light flashed through his hands. He cut off this passageway without any hesitation. After all, the spatial passageway was different from a normal path. Once it was cut off, the entire spatial system of this passageway would collapse without any trace.

Just when Zhou Bao was cutting off the Space Passage, in Dragon-taming Ruins, Yu Huntian was looking at an oddly-dressed man who seemed to be searching for something.

Compared with people in this world, he dressed weirdly and unconventionally. He wore big earrings that were bigger than ordinary people’s fist. His hair was unkempt with some dust and mud. He wore shabby cotton-padded clothes. If Zhou Bao were there, he would call him ‘Brother Sharp’ (special Chinese culture used on weirdly-dressed beggars).

Suddenly, ‘Brother Sharp’ shouted out with excitement. “It’s there! I found it! The unusual wave came from there!”

He stood still on his feet and looked up, revealing half of his face covered by his unkempt hair. He shouted excitedly to Yu Huntian. The place he stood was where Zhou Bao entered Dragon-taming Ruins.

“Right, it’s here!” He narrowed his eyes and sensed it for a while. Then he nodded his head to show his certainty of this place.

“Oh, wonderful! Finally, I found the tail of that damned brat. I got your tail! I’ve found the route and trace of your coming here. Now, I just need to follow this passageway and I can get you!” Yu Huntian was excited. He added on, saying, “Lu Tong, hurry up. Investigate this spatial wave, and we surely can find a place of Nine Dragons convergency. Furthermore, we can…!”

Before he could finish speaking, the place that Lu Tong stood shook violently.

“Oh no!” Lu Tong screamed. He was sent flying by a great force and knocked into the giant black chain.

“He, he, he, he broke the Space Passage!” Lu Tong shouted as he was falling to the ground.

“I know!” Yu Huntian’s face suddenly darkened. The Space Passage Lu Tong had found was destroyed, and the traces of spatial wave disappeared completely. Because of various changes that took place after the passageway was destroyed, the Qi of dragon vein of 81 Primordial Celestial Dragons suddenly fell into chaos. The output channel of these Nine Strips of Dragon Veins was destroyed. It was just like an urban transportation system, which had a regular, flawless circulation over thousands of years. Now, a passageway became disordered, and the others would be affected by it. Therefore, the Qi of dragon vein emitted by 81 Primordial Celestial Dragons became chaotic.

“Shit, shit! He destroyed the Qi of dragon vein!”

Before he could finish swearing, the 81 Primordial Celestial Dragons tied up by a big black chain started to change too. To be specific, nine of them shook violently, as if they had come to life suddenly. The black chain rattled, and the sound it let out was like a symphony in Dragon-taming Ruins. When everything was over, the dragon scale of Nine Heavens Ancient Dragons began to shed, as if the dragons had used up their strength. Finally, they disintegrated and turned into ashes, disappearing without any trace.

Yu Huntian’s eyes bulged out at this scene. He felt that it was impossible and gawked at the Nine Heavens Ancient Dragons that had already been turned into ashes. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and began to howl.

“Oh, no…!”

Filled with panic and hatred, his howl shook the world. “No matter who you are, where you are, and how powerful you are, I definitely will find you and kill you. I’ll kill all the people that are related to you. Kill you, I’ll kill you!”
