“Is this territory of the Three Western Regions?!”
When the light of the giant Transmitting Formation dimmed, Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes and started to stare at his surroundings. He couldn’t hide his curiosity at all.
“The spiritual qi in the Three Western Regions is not much thicker than in the Four Eastern Regions, I thought it would be much thicker!” As he sensed the essence of the world, Zhou Bao twitched his mouth.
“King Wuyang, this stretch of the Transmitting Formation is under the control of our Palace of Eternal Life. However, the Transmitting Formation used to enter the Infinite Star Sea is not here!” Seeing Zhou Bao looking around, a wide-robed man reminded gently from behind him.
“I know, I know!” Zhou Bao replied quickly.
The Transmitting Formation to enter Infinite Star Sea would definitely not be in the Palace of Eternal Life. Among the five biggest sects in the Three Western Regions, it had the best relationship with the five biggest sects of the Four Eastern Regions. Firstly, the Palace of Eternal Life believed in world peace. Secondly, their territory was not conflicted with the Four Eastern Regions. Unlike them, the Fifth Manor had many conflicts with the Four Eastern Regions. The lack of clashes in profits made their relationship relatively good.
Hence, the transaction between the Four Eastern Regions and the Three Western Regions this time also chose the Transmitting Formation in the Palace of Eternal Life.
However, that formation was in the Seven-deity Regions. That Transmitting Formation that led to the Infinite Star Sea was like that of the Four Eastern Regions, situated in a place with no living souls. Basically, there was no one to look after the formation.
However, this time around, the Four Eastern Regions got hold of the Void Map of the Infinite Star Sea. It gathered the attention of the Three Western Regions. Quite a number of guards appeared in that area of the Transmitting Formation. These guards were all outstanding disciples, inheritors, and elders of the five biggest sects. They were managed by a Genuine Immortal of Venerable Realm.
“King Wuyang, the Transmitting Formation of the Infinite Star Sea is too far from here, and we lack a stable formation to travel there. Therefore, we will need to walk for 3 days. What do you think about resting for a day before going?!” A young practitioner from Palace of Eternal Life asked him. He looked like he was in his thirties. He had a clean face and was calm as he approached Zhou Bao, with no sign of inferiority.
This man was actually Xiao Sheng, the top disciple of the leader of the Palace of Eternal Life.
“Then I’ll have to bother Brother Xiao to arrange for it!”
It could be said that Zhou Bao was very polite towards this Xiao Sheng. Although the latter did not have skills of a Lord of Heaven, he at least was of Venerable Realm and he was not even 50 yet. He was widely recognized as the most potential candidate for the next lord of the Palace of Eternal Life. Zhou Bao was not willing to offend such a character.
The Palace of Eternal Life put in a lot of effort in accommodating Zhou Bao. Although this fella’s cultivation was only at Level Nine, everyone knew that his combat capability could compare with that of an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Right now, he must also have surpassed Level Nine in the Star Area and entered the Mysterious Realm. However, the Star Area of the Infinite Star Sea was not part of the Heaven Realm, so by stepping into Mysterious Realm there, that little amount of Genuine Spirit of his would not fly to the Golden Book of Fate in Heaven Realm. Once he entered the realm, Zhou Bao’s abilities would surely increase a lot. When he was still at Level Nine, Zhou Bao could already defeat an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Then, now that he was in the Mysterious Realm, no one was clear about how his cultivation and abilities have improved.
When facing this kind of characters, even the Palace of Eternal Life had to be extra careful. Moreover, he was carrying great responsibilities on his shoulders now.
“King Wuyang, although you are very strong, there are some things that I still have to remind you. Not everyone hopes that you would be successful in this operation. Your Four Eastern Regions had lost so many Lord of Heaven. The Sea Area is not the happiest, it is us, the few sects in Three Western Regions, including our Palace of Eternal Life!”
“Brother Xiao is being quite practical!” Zhou Bao listened and smiled. He did not think that he would meet such a pragmatic person here.
“I’m not being practical, this is the truth!” Xiao Sheng smiled faintly,” No matter what, I am a disciple of the Palace of Eternal Life. This time it is mainly my palace working with you, naturally, I wouldn’t want any accidents to happen!”
“Accidents?!” Zhou Bao’s gaze flashed and he looked at Xiao Sheng. “Brother Xiao thinks that there will be an accident?!”
“I’m saying it just in case, King Wuyang, you do not need to take it seriously!” Xiao Sheng laughed and led Zhou Bao into a part of the palace. He worked efficiently at arranging Zhou Bao’s accommodation. Since he was only spending one night, and also because he was a practitioner, there was not much to organize. He only gave the handyman some orders and smiled as he took his leave, as if nothing happened.
“Accident? Seems like this time around the Infinite Star Sea is not peaceful at all!”
After giving it much thought, Zhou Bao was able to understand. The five biggest sects of the Four Eastern Regions and that of the Three Western Regions have been enemies for so many years. Their grievances could be piled up onto countless numbers of trucks if they were solid. This time around, the Four Eastern Regions had made such a careless mistake, causing the powers of the five biggest sects to fall by half. The five biggest sects were already forgiving enough to not pick on a fight, how would they be willing to lend a Transmitting Formation so willingly to save their enemies’ people? Perhaps the people of the Four Eastern Regions could use the safety of the Seven-deity Regions as an excuse, but would the people of Three Western Regions believe them?
No, not necessarily.
They only agreed to the request of the five biggest sects of Four Eastern Regions because of some individual private transactions. In such transactions, the five biggest sects of the Three Western Regions gained huge profits, which was why they agreed to it. If not, even if the sky scattered, they would not agree.
And now, even after agreeing, Zhou Bao heard those worrying words from Xiao Sheng.
“Perhaps there may be some variables inside the sect?” He thought to himself while remaining calm. “That is good anyway, then I’ll use this chance to try how strong the divine artifact is after infusing it with my Fiery Eye! I have just gotten control of it. While it is fully functional, I am still not familiar with it. I can use this opportunity to familiarise myself with it, that’s not bad!” Thinking about this, he smiled.
No words were spoken for the rest of the night. On the second day, as soon as the sun started to rise, Xiao Sheng appeared in front of Zhou Bao’s room. He gazed into his eyes and smiled. An earth-color wind started surging beside him. It turned out to be his Gang Qi. Breaking through space at an amazing speed, in just a moment, they were hundreds of miles away. Zhou Bao was obviously not scared of the speed, but he did not want to pick up a fight there. He followed Xiao Sheng calmly and flew in the skies at an alarming speed for a few hours before arriving at their destination.
It was another island on the sea.
“This is that goddamn place, where there’s nobody!” Both of them landed on the island. Zhou Bao’s eyebrows were slightly raised. The isolated condition of the island led him to start to worry.
Beside him, Xiao Sheng’s expression started to turn ugly. He took out a token from his chest and lifted it to the sky. The surrounding space shooked and a gateway opened.
“Eh? Junior Brother Lin, what is going on!” Once the gateway opened, Xiao Sheng’s expression froze before Zhou Bao even had time to react. Xiao Sheng’s body entered the gateway in a flash and Zhou Bao followed closely behind. What he saw were four corpses lying on the ground. After Zhou Bao entered, the gateway suddenly disappeared, trapping the two of them in that mysterious space.
