Such troublesome days!
Sitting on the roof of the Human Emperor Palace, Zhou Bao stretched himself. He felt that the days were really boring. After the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, there came the coronation. However, the coronation which should have been held immediately after the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony had been put off for 10 days due to the ruin of the Golden Throne, which had cast an ominous shadow over the coronation.
Fortunately, no more chaos occurred during these 10 days and the result was reasonable. Now that such an accident had already taken place in the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, the Divine Wind Palace wouldn’t dare to call itself the head of the five biggest sects if there was something wrong with the coronation again.
Without any accident, the coronation was like calm water. Yan Yuntian also fulfilled his wish and successfully took the throne. Compared with the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, the coronation was extremely extravagant. The suzerains of the five biggest sects had all come here, including Yu Taixu from the Divine Wind Palace, Thunder Dragon Venerable from the Dragon Thunder Palace, Jade Pool Golden Mother from the Jade Pool, Sakyamuni Buddha from the Bigwheel Temple, and Star Master from the Immortal Palace. This was the first time that Zhou Bao saw the Star Master of the Immortal Palace. He was still one of the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace now, but his combat capability was at the Lord of Heaven Realm. Furthermore, he was able to defeat Eight-tribulation True Immortals. Hence, he would certainly not hold the Star Master in awe like he was before.
But to his surprise, like Yu Taixu, he could not see through the other four suzerains’ cultivations. He could only feel a hint of pressure in the face of them.
It was because of this pressure that Zhou Bao would not be presumptuous in public.
After a series of strange rites, Yan Yuntian formally became a candidate for the Human Emperor that was on a par with the five suzerains. After the coronation, the five suzerains suggested exploring the Infinite Star Sea.
It was not until this moment that Zhou Bao finally realized the exploration of the Infinite Star Sea required the approval and leading of the candidate for the Human Emperor.
That was to say, the exploration of the Infinite Star Sea could begin only when the candidate for the Human Emperor had been determined.

What logic is this?


Zhou Bao could not understand. In fact, he already felt dizzy and exhausted due to the complicated etiquette and old system of the coronation. When no one else was around, he ran out to catch a breath.

King Wuyang, it’s been a long time since I last saw you!

Just as he felt bored and troublesome, a clear voice sounded close to his ears.

Oh, it turns out to be Lady Yeyue. We indeed haven’t met each other for a long time!
Turning around, Zhou Bao saw Ji Yeyue standing gracefully not far behind him.

This time, I wonder whether King Wuyang will go explore the Infinite Star Sea or not?


Me? Haha, I’d like to. But I heard that someone wanted to kill me in the Infinite Star Sea, so I’m still considering it!

Evidently, Zhou Bao’s words were beyond the expectations of Ji Yeyue.
It seems that King Wuyang is really well-informed. But now, it’s merely an old story!


An old story? Why?


In the past, the five biggest sects did not like your behavior, and at the same time, they were afraid that you would grow up so rapidly that you may threaten their status and be out of control. So they wanted to kill you secretly before you have fully grown up. But they changed their ideas after they witnessed the battle between you and Senior Grand Tutor Hong!
Ji Yeyue gave a wry smile.
Senior Grand Tutor Hong is an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, but he was defeated by you. Therefore, no one can be sure that he can get rid of you. After all, even the candidate for the Human Emperor’s greatest power is only to nominally mobilize those Venerables. As for the Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm, they themselves are the masters of a field who don’t need to care about the candidate for the Human Emperor. There are no more than 10 Lords of Heaven in the five biggest sects and not every one of them is an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, just like Senior Grand Tutor Hong. They are all big shots in the Four Eastern Regions and every movement of theirs is able to make the ground shake. Your defeating Senior Grand Tutor Hong means that there is no one able to threaten you in the Four Eastern Regions and even in the Seven-deity Regions. Even if they want to join hands to harm you, it may be easy for them to defeat you, but it would be impossible to get rid of you. Therefore, congratulations! From now on, you are also a big shot!

A big shot!!!
Zhou Bao smiled bitterly upon hearing Ji Yeyue’s remarks. He said,
I’m just excellent in combat capability. When it comes to cultivation, I am really not that good!


You’re so modest!
Ji Yeyue laughed.
May you take care of me on this trip to the Infinite Star Sea?!


Why? Aren’t you a member of the Jade Pool? Are you going to the Infinite Star Sea as well?


Yes, the list of the Jade Pool about who shall go to the Infinite Star Sea has been settled. I’ll go there with several Martial Uncles to seek the Divine Fate!


I don’t mind cooperating with you. But as you just said, I guess I don’t have the opportunity to go there!
Zhou Bao shook his head with a smile on his face.

No opportunity? Why?


Now that they are unable to get rid of me, they surely don’t want me to gain so many benefits. If I am right, the trip to the Infinite Star Sea this time will be led by a Lord of Heaven, but it won’t be me!

Ji Yeyue was no fool, after all, she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Zhou Bao’s words after thinking for a little while. Her face darkened but recovered instantly. She said,
Yeah, I’m stupid. Given your powerful strength, the five biggest sects will never let you gain any benefit for nothing because you’re not a member of it!

The two of them remained silent after they finished speaking.

Oh, Yeyue, you’re here. I’ve been looking for you for a good while!
An untimely voice came suddenly right at the moment when the two were silent. Zhou Bao frowned slightly, however, Ji Yeyue’s face spoke of a wry smile.

What are you doing here?


I’m here to look for you. I haven’t seen you for a good while!
The newcomer burst out laughing.
You’re King Wuyang Zhou Bao, right? You really enjoy a well-deserved reputation, for actually defeating Senior Grand Tutor Hong and being the son-in-law of the candidate for the Human Emperor. Without your help, your father-in-law couldn’t have taken the throne. I guess the Seven-deity Regions will certainly be your world after some time too. Congratulations!

The newcomer spoke these words out in a loud voice. And naturally, his voice spread to the Human Emperor Palace under their feet. At this moment, Yan Yuntian was holding a banquet to treat the people from the five biggest sects. Although he had just taken the throne there, he had been the emperor of the Jin dynasty in the secular world for so many years and thus was able to handle these matters smoothly, without investing the least effort in it. 10 days were enough for him to keep the Human Emperor Palace in order and control it.
Now, he was in high spirits. But never had he expected that such an untimely voice would ring out above his head when he was happily drinking wine.
What does it mean by saying that without his son-in-law’s help, he couldn’t have taken the throne?
Although these words were close to the truth, whoever heard it would still feel uncomfortable. Other words, for example,
The Seven-deity Regions will certainly be your world after some time.
were unpleasant to the ear as well. The Seven-deity Regions were the worlds and also the private possessions of the five biggest sects, and this was known to all the people coming to attend the coronation. Under the circumstance that all the suzerains of the five biggest sects were present, these words evidently had already offended the sensibilities of the five biggest sects.
What would the five suzerains think since you had spoken so highly of Zhou Bao?
Therefore, just as these words were heard by the people in the palace, the noisy Human Emperor Palace unexpectedly came to an awkward silence.

What a nuisance!

The awkward atmosphere vanished shortly after. All the people present were extremely shrewd and deep. As they realized that the atmosphere there was not quite right, those who were skillful at breaking the ice were going to say something to ease the tension. Right at this moment, they heard a loud bang and saw a human figure fell from the sky, breaking the roof.

Who brought this guy here? How ignorant he is! How dare he say anything he likes and blatantly alienate me from the five biggest sects? Heck!
Zhou Bao appeared in the palace almost at the same time as that guy did. He looked around with an icy cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
There came to a silence again.
After a good while, a voice with mixed feelings of shock and anger was heard from the crowd.
Zhe-er!

Just like a gust of wind, a human figure made its way through the crowd to the man lying on the ground. Noticing that he just fainted and was not in life-threatening danger, that figure felt relieved. Suddenly, she looked up and said,
Zhou Bao, you’ve gone too far!

Obviously, Zhou Bao stunned. It had never occurred to him that it would be a woman in fine clothes. However, Zhou Bao could not help but shiver while seeing her malicious eyes. 
Bad luck!
 
He thought to himself. But he would never yield an inch. He said,
How have I gone too far? As long as you’re not deaf, you should have heard what he just said. He uttered these words for fear that the world would not be in chaos, and he caused trouble intentionally. Moreover, he alienated me from the five biggest sects and the candidate for the Human Emperor. Shouldn’t such a guy die? I spared his life because today is a red letter day. Otherwise, I would have trampled him to death!


Shut up!


Hold your tongue!

The woman’s voice was interrupted by another resonant voice before it had died away.
Hurry up, carry this unfilial son out. Do you intentionally want to make me feel deeply ashamed of him?

Zhou Bao took a glance at the speaker and was a little shocked because it was Yu Taixu, the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. 
Is this the son of Yu Taixu?


Upon hearing Yu Taixu’s words, the woman no longer dared to say a word. She immediately held the man called Zhe-er with her arms and then glanced at Zhou Bao maliciously. Without turning back, she helped the man out of the Human Emperor Palace and disappeared.

This woman is somewhat troublesome!
 
Zhou Bao touched his nose gently and looked up at the big hole in the roof of the Human Emperor Palace, saying,
Eh, everybody, I’m really sorry. I got a little excited just now and I’m here to beg your pardon!


There is nothing to pardon!
Everyone burst out laughing.
Blame him? You must be kidding! What difference would it make to blame him? They could not offend this guy, but they could hide from him. Were they really as stupid as Yu Nanzhe?

I won’t blame you, but since you’ve made a mess of my Human Emperor Palace, you’re responsible for repairing it!
Sitting in the seat of honor, Yan Yuntian took a sip of wine and laughed.

Okay, no problem. All the expenses are on me!
Zhou Bao laughed. He turned around and happened to meet Yu Taixu’s eyes, deep and enigmatic.
