Damn! You have just discussed with us how to get rid of this unstable factor by the trip to Infinite Star Sea. What was all this about? Play us for a fool?

Since Zhou Bao was from the Immortal Palace, he seemed to have known about them secretly plotting against him. It would be rather crass to offend such a guy without a reasonable excuse.
Everyone present was grinding their teeth as if their eyes could turn into knives and kill people from Immortal Palace.
However, the people from Immortal Palace wore a smiling face as if nothing happened. When the crowd watched Zhou Bao, White Tiger, and the sophisticated Elder Qing talk and smile, they almost went mad with anger and nothing could calm them down.

Bang!

When everyone was filled with fury, they heard a loud bang and glanced up. It turned out to be Child-endowing Buddha who stamped the front table into pieces.

Shit! You fucking wily tortoise! Fuck you, little fox!
Kicking over the table, Child-endowing Buddha swore in rage but they didn’t know whom he was cursing. Then he passed fleetingly and rushed towards the Human Emperor Palace.

Damn it! Don’t tell me what I should do.
Everyone knew whom he referred to, even though Child-endowing Buddha didn’t say his name. Star Master Mo could pretend not to hear him, but Zhou Bao could not. Crushing the wine glass in his hand, he immediately went after Child-endowing Buddha with a flying leap.

Amitabha. May Buddha bless you.
A grand Buddhist name sounded suddenly, and a huge golden lotus with thousands of scattered lights loomed up in Zhou Bao’s way.
Calm down please, Master Zhou. Child-endowing Buddha is fiercely hot-tempered. If there are any inappropriate and offensive words, I apologize in his name!

The crowd took a closer look and saw that it was Sakyamuni Buddha, the abbot of Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple who stopped Zhou Bao.
With Zhou Bao’s combat capability he could easily blow out Child-endowing Buddha. However, Child-endowing Buddha was one of the most promising ones who could reach Lord of Heaven among the 13 Living Buddhas in Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, so Sakyamuni Buddha didn’t want him to get in trouble. Since nobody may stop Zhou Bao, he had to do it in person.

Humph! Apologize for him? Come on! You gave me three Pure Yang Celestial Devices last time you offended me. So how many will you give me this time?

Zhou Bao’s expression was truly fierce, Sakyamuni Buddha hadn’t expected Zhou Bao to lose his temper in front of others.
Buddy, you’re too exaggerated. Our Bigwheel Temple obviously couldn’t even be compared with your Immortal Palace. According to our financial capacity, three Pure Yang Celestial Devices is our limit.


Forget it, Zhou Bao. He is nothing but a narrow-minded bald ass. It’s a fairly good day and your father-in-law is going to be the candidate of Human Emperor. Don’t care much about these suckers for the family. I know you’re horribly angry with them, but let’s just kill them next time.


Okay, not a bad idea. I’ll kill them next time I meet them so that they won’t upset me anymore.
Zhou Bao was suddenly apathetic.
Well, so be it.
Then he cast a bitterly rancorous eye to Sakyamuni Buddha and glanced back at the golden lotus as if he was considering something in his mind. He snorted loudly and sat back drinking and ignoring the people around.
After such a thing happened, nobody wanted to drink anymore.

Hehe, good trick indeed! I didn’t expect Zhou Bao was from Immortal Palace. It seemed like we had been played as a fool before.

Many people began peeping at Yu Taixu. Zhou Bao was Yan Yuntian’s son-in-law and had helped him ascend to the throne of Human Emperor. He was also a rare man with strength reaching Lord of Heaven Realm. Now having Immortal Palace as his supporter, he may change the whole competitive landscape of the Four Eastern Regions if he made the most of Immortal Palace.
The background of the Divine Wind Palace was very profound and powerful, so was Immortal Palace which was one of five biggest sects in Four Eastern Regions. Zhou Bao assisted Yan Yuntian in making it to the throne of Human Emperor. This meant that the Human Emperor candidate had the fervent support of Immortal Palace, and he had no need of looking for Divine Wind Palace’s approval. If Immortal Palace fully supported the Human Emperor candidate, Yan Yuntian’s authority was bound to increase greatly. Combining his just reputation and the sect’s tremendous strength, it was very likely that the foundation of the Divine Wind Palace would be truly shaken.
Even though everyone had a different personality, whether it was Thunder Dragon Venerable or Jade Pool Golden Mother or even Sakyamuni Buddha who had nearly clashed with Zhou Bao, they all had a weird look. Moreover, the spectators who came to the Dark Sect seemed to also have something in their mind.
Yu Taixu might not have anything wrong in his expression, but the flickering sparks in his eyes revealed his truly unsettled heart.
The banquet ended with an eerie atmosphere because everyone had his their own axe to grind.

It’s not that easy. It’s hard to shake Divine Wind Palace.
After the banquet, everyone went back to their own residence. Thunder Dragon Venerable, Jade Pool Golden Mother and Sakyamuni Buddha happened to gather together, and each of them looked pretty grim.

I know the Divine Wind Palace has been influential for more than 100,000 years and it’s not that easy to shake its position, but it might be the chance for us.


It’s a great opportunity indeed, but we may end up with nothing.
Thunder Dragon Venerable said in a bleak voice,
Divine Wind Palace used to have no rival before, but now Immortal Palace is flourishing. The whole situation has been much more complicated since then.


Humph! I am much more comfortable with the current situation. It’s our only chance to fish in troubled water.
Jade Pool Golden Mother said.

In the past, this would have been great news; we could just have waited to see Immortal Palace take action, but that’s not the case today. You know, a Supreme Fairy Weapon has already appeared and the master of it is aware that this place was the Heaven Realm. If we touched off some internal trifle without thinking about the consequences, the result will be terrible.


You’re right. I would have never expected the Supreme Fairy Weapon and the Heaven realm were actually real. What surprised me the most was that there is still somebody remembers this name after so many years.


Humph! You don’t remember!? Every realm knew it when the Heaven Realm ruled heavens and realms. However, after the tribulation, the Jade Emperor cast a great spell of Divine Sense to move the entire Heaven Realm from the Central Star Area to escape from a disaster, or the Heaven Realm could have already been taken by other macro worlds and we could have been enslaved. Through all these years, even we have almost forgotten the glory of the Heaven Realm and now we ironically run into it. You guys may know the legend about Supreme Fairy Weapon, so you might also know the Supreme Fairy Weapon can never belong to this macro world. Think again what he said before leaving, don’t you get it?


Well, it’s quite clear! Our macro world including all the details has been found by someone else, and I think a catastrophe is coming right to us!
Thunder Dragon Venerable exclaimed.

So it’s time to stick together rather than to have internal strife. We should not only cooperate with the five biggest sects but also work hand in hand with Three Western Regions. But as for now, I doubt…

Everyone went silent when he stopped talking. If our world gets destroyed, all of us will follow the same fate. Everything would eventually dissipate if something bad happened, even though the five biggest sects at present had a good prospect in the Four Eastern Regions. No inheritance, no glory, nothing left.

Well, it’s useless to talk about it any more. Things have already happened. What Yu Taixu practices is also the Way of the Emperor, and he is close to finishing. He is not a person who can be persuaded at all. Now Immortal Palace shows that it can threaten him, he will suppress Immortal Palace at any cost. Although Immortal Palace kept a low profile in the past few years, its hidden strength is amazingly enormous, even not much worse than that of Divine Wind Palace. Both of them are not the ones we can persuade, and it’s ridiculous just the thought of challenging them.


So the best way is to protect ourselves first.
Taking a deep sigh, Thunder Dragon Venerable left shaking his head.

Yes, let’s think about how to protect ourselves first. The earlier the better!
Jade Pool Golden Mother and Sakyamuni Buddha looked at each other and left respectively. The Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony which has startled the Seven-deity Regions was finally over.
However, after it, everyone realized it was a real start of trouble rather than an end. The aggressiveness of Zhou Bao, the tricks of Immortal Palace, the miscalculation of the Divine Wind Palace… All of these things indicated that the Heaven Realm would witness an unprecedented storm.
