: The Capture and Unexpected Gains
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The clouds of pneuma and spiritual qi in his eyes, irregular and messy, became more and more clear. Although they were still mixed up, he could distinguish what was the Yang pneuma, what was the Yin pneuma and what effect the two kinds of spiritual qi had. He could also tell which was destructive spiritual qi. All of this information was slowly transferred to his spirit through his eyes.
At a certain moment, he felt that he was one of these clouds of pneuma and that he was born of it. Of course, he understood that this was merely an illusion.
Whether it was an illusion, or he was drunk, when the feeling appeared, he felt his eyes burning and then the whole world became vivid. Zhou Bao changed his posture from sitting into standing in this messy world, yet the cyan light of the Air-frozen Bead on his head faded away.
Green Spirit made a strange sound and hurried to move toward Zhou Bao. However, Zhou Bao was apparently in a completely ethereal stage, and ignored Green Spirit.
You want to hurt me, don’t you kid?
Green Spirit yelled queerly holding up his pink Gang Qi. At almost the same time, millions of turbulent energies whipped his body, hitting his pink Gang Qi so hard that it started to tremble.
You are doing it on purpose! You must …
Green Spirit screamed twice more and then stopped. An odd smile appeared on his face.
The cyan light of the Air-frozen Bead was completely wiped out. The roaring tides didn’t hit Zhou Bao but rather slipped past him softly.
Zhou Bao, at that moment, seemed like a Sea-calming Magic Needle, suddenly lost in the boundless ocean. He stood firmly in place. Even the raging pneuma and storms capable of shredding everything in their path meant nothing to him. His eyes were sparkling a dazzling red, but the thorn around his pupils did not appear.
His body twisted slightly, and his hands stretched out, as if he was looking for something. Then he moved and began to walk, searching, just like a blind man, limping forward.
Zhou Bao was caught in an unusually ethereal state. His eyes had sharply caught the slim Divine Design, that string, within the numerous essence of the world and storms of power.
Yes, he saw it, but it was hard to locate.
Subconsciously, he began to grope. Although he seemed to touch the string as he reached out his hand, it was not close enough. He needed to find the Origin of the string. It wasn’t his original intention, but his eyes repeatedly imparted the importance of the string’s Origin.
He began to fumble with it.
It was not difficult to find the Origin. However, after a few steps, he felt that he had touched something. Pausing, he gently groped forward. His palm seemed to slice the hollow open, or it sank to the hollow. When his hand could be seen again, there was a cloud of gray airflow on it.
Green Spirit’s eyes grew larger and larger. He couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. He gaped in amazement at the swirl of air in Zhou Bao’s hand.
Origin of the Great Ways! The Origin of the Great Ways! Oh my god! This guy could capture the Origin of the Great Ways successfully!
All of a sudden, he seemed to remember something and turned cold.
Your eyes! Hurry up! Use your eyes to control it!
In fact, there was no need for Green Spirit to warn him. When Zhou Bao took hold of the gray energy, there were unusual movements in his eyes and he suddenly emitted a bright red light. Nine of his divine thoughts darted out one by one from the space between his eyebrows, dropping into the cloud of gray Qi. Most of the divine thoughts didn’t have any effect on the energy, but when the purple divine thought, transparent as an amethyst, immerged into it, it finally started to change.
Threads of purple lightning started to crack into the airflow. Soon, the cracking sound changed into the faint clapping of thunder.
The sound of thunder, though small, carried dreadful and majestic dignity.
BOOM!
A crash of thunder sounded in Green Spirit’s ears. He couldn’t help being startled. He looked up and was momentarily stupefied. The sky which had previously been a mess, now had spots of dark clouds. The clouds linked together, one after another extending thousands of kilometers.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
Thunder rang out constantly. Several spouts of Heavenly Thunder struck from the sky, one of which was nearly 3 meters long, hitting Green Spirit in the head.
The Divine Tribulation? The Thunder of Tribulation? No way! The world hasn’t completed its evolution. How can the Thunder of Tribulation and thunderbolt be appearing now?
No, there shouldn’t have been a thunderbolt!
The Azure Secret Area had evolved from the Azure Heaven which was one of the 33 Heavens similar to Taiyuan Heaven. Although it was endowed with abundant pneuma and was suitable for practicing, it wasn’t a completed world. There shouldn’t have been any thunderbolts here. It was in transition to an intact world, but it would take millions of years for it to evolve the thunderbolt. This was the reason Green Spirit dared to stay here.
Yet man’s fate was as uncertain as the weather.
Why had the thunderbolt suddenly emerged in the Azure Heaven where it had always been so tranquil and peaceful?
He had been practicing in the Azure Secret Area for several days, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Individual Immortal level. As long as he wanted to step into the contemporary world, he must go through the Thunder Tribulation. Although he was certain he could endure it, he wanted to stay here for another couple days, so he could pass several Thunder Tribulations in one go and jump straight into the Venerable Realm. Thus he would be able to earn more distinction when he returned to the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple. God only knew why he would be struck by the thunderbolt at this point.
Did he do that?
Green Spirit turned his line of vision to Zhou Bao, puzzled. Thinking of the nine divine thoughts that had shot from Zhou Bao’s eyebrows, he recalled that one of the divine thoughts had been just like an amethyst, different from the others. An absurd idea came into his mind.
Could it be that the divine thought was the one practiced by Purplecloud Thunder and this was what caused such an effect? No way. How could this happen?
Absurd thoughts flashed through his mind. No matter what the reason was, the Thunder Tribulation was approaching. Moreover, he was in the Azure Secret Area. In the face of the Thunder Tribulation and Essential Qi Tide happening simultaneously, even he, an Old Demon with a new, much-steeled body, dared not to lower his guard. He groaned and activated the Sky-measuring Star Ruler. It unleashed a silvery light into the sky and shot directly at the Heavenly Thunder.
At this moment, the entire Azure Secret Area was in chaos.
There were countless powerful evil beasts and various magical creatures here in the Azure Secret Area, some of which were weak and some of which were extremely powerful. Among these powerful creatures there were some particularly strong ones that had been living in the Azure Spirit Sea for thousands of years. After accumulating great strength, they might have reached or even surpassed the peak of Individual Immortal Level. And because there had been no thunderbolts in the Azure Secret Area, none of them had passed through the Thunder Tribulation and became Individual Immortals. But now the thunderbolt had occurred, and millions of powerful living creatures were summoning the thunderbolt in the sky with their tenacious power.
The Thunder Tribulation was coming!
Everyone would undergo the Thunder Tribulation together.
This was absolute chaos.
Although these living creatures were extremely powerful and intelligent, most of them had been raised where they were born, so they had never seen a thunderbolt or anything like it. They had come here to escape from the Essential Qi Tide, when suddenly a bright light had flashed in the sky and struck down, injuring them badly. Even the strong beasts sleeping in the depths the Azure Spirit Sea were no exception. They all growled in fear. Aside from the evil beasts who had been living in the Azure Heaven since antiquity times and had intelligence, or those who had the bloodline to inherit and handle it, the rest of the evil beasts could do nothing but stagger on crying and roaring.
Wait, this doesn’t feel right. Why is the power of the Thunder Tribulation so weak? It’s much weaker than I expected!
When the Sky-measuring Star Ruler materialized, it had immediately blocked the powerful thunderbolt. Green Spirit looked up to the sky and saw the dark clouds begin to disperse. Perplexed in his contemplation, he felt a sudden stream of Divine Spirit Qi rush down from the Sky-measuring Star Ruler and sink into his body. He couldn’t neglect this. He activated his Real Essence to infuse with the Divine Spirit Qi. Mixing the Real Essence with Divine Spirit Qi could produce Dharma power. Green Spirit was too busy to see what Zhou Bao was doing.
Actually, Zhou Bao was unable to cause any trouble. In his ethereal state, he felt like a god who controlled everything. The entire Azure Heaven was under his control and shadow. He could do whatever he wanted. Especially when the thunderbolt struck, he felt as if several small Original Spirits were flowing to the gray Qi in his hand and then sinking into it. He knew the exact number of these Original Spirits. It was 278,913.
They are from all the creatures who have undergone the Thunder Tribulation and are listed as Immortals. Oh, the Original Spirit of Green Spirit is here too, haha!
This was an unexpected harvest. Even Green Spirit hadn’t anticipated that he had just escaped from danger and then walked right into another trap.
Green Spirit had taken the body of the Child-endowing Buddha, who was an Immortal in the outside world and had entrusted a bit of his Original Spirit in the Golden Book of Fate. If he could undergo the Thunder Tribulation in the outside world, he could be free from the restrictions of the Golden Book of Fate.
However, he had been incredibly unlucky to undergo his Thunder Tribulation in the Azure Secret Area. Truly. He had passed through his Thunder Tribulation, but his Original Spirit was restrained by the Principle of Great Ways of the Azure Secret Area and had undoubtedly been handed over to the Origin of the Great Ways in Zhou Bao’s hand.
How could Green Spirit have anticipated such an accident? By the time he reacted to all this, it was too late for him.
The Azure Secret Area is amazing! So many strong living creatures must have passed the Thunder Tribulation in such a short period of time. Once these 270 thousand True Immortality Level creatures are released, the entire world will kneel on its feet!
Zhou Bao was shocked.
What a pity that the Origin of the Great Ways is not complete. I can’t rely on it to control these powerful living creatures. Otherwise I would not be afraid of anything!
he said to himself.
Eight divine thoughts flew out of the gray Qi, including the purple one, leaving only one divine thought. They melted together.
You are doing this deliberately. It must be intentional, kid!
Zhou Bao opened his eyes slowly and pulled himself back from the ethereal state, only to hear the angry shouting of Green Spirit.
