Chapter 336: Opening of Taiyuan Heaven on the Blue Whale Island

“Hehe. I, Mo Yinyang, pay my respect to Your Excellency, Zhou Bao! Your Excellency indeed has wit! For your honorable identity in Jin dynasty, the Emperor of Jin dynasty should give you the Taiyuan Token!” Looking at the Taiyuan Token held in Zhou Bao’s hand, Mo Yinyang wore an extremely happy expression. He seemed to be so excited that he was sort of shivering.

“As I promised, as long as I get the Taiyuan Token, I shall enter the Taiyuan Heaven together with you!” Putting away the Taiyuan Token, Zhou Bao smiled and said, “One Taiyuan Token only allows three people to go into the Taiyuan Heaven. Besides us, the third one is Chief Wang from Tian Long Taoism!”

Nodding his head, Mo Yinyang smiled and said, “Of course! I also hear a lot about Chief Wang!”

“Since you belong to the Li dynasty, how could you know about me?” Picking his eyebrows, Wang She who sat beside Zhou Bao glanced at Mo Yinyang and showed an eccentric expression.

“Hehe! Chief Wang, to be honest, do you really think nobody knows you can practice the Asura Heart-Killing Stick Technique?!” Turning around and taking a glance at Wang She, Mo Yinyang showed a smile in his eyes. “That case of Li dynasty back then, I say, it’s you who did it, right?”

“It seems that the intelligence work of your Li Dynasty in our Central Mainland Region goes well!” An unknown light flashed in Wang She’s eyes, he looked at Mo Yinyang with an unkind expression.

“I have nothing to do with that case. I just heard some news about it!” Feeling uneasy about Wang She’s stare, Mo Yinyang explained immediately.

“Hum!” With a cold snort, Wang She went away, leaving the other two a back view of himself.

“Mr. Mo, I don’t care about what happened between you and Chief Wang. Since Taiyuan Heaven is an eventful place, once we go in together, I don’t want you two ready to jump at each other’s throats!”

“Relax! I don’t have any conflict of interest with Chief Wang!”

Mo Yinyang explained with a smile. “Moreover, entering Taiyuan Heaven together with an expert like Chief Wang, we shall have more opportunities!”

“Right! Taiyuan Heaven is a good place. Hope we all can get what we want this time!”

“I agree!” Mo Yinyang nodded, “I believe we all can get what we want!”

…

…

Five days later, Zhou Bao, Wang She, and Mo Yinyang started their journey to the endless Sea Area.

The entrance of the Taiyuan Heaven was different from that of the Azure Heaven. There were many entrances to the Azure Heaven and many passageways connecting the Azure Heaven. There was only one entrance to the Taiyuan Heaven, which located on an island in the Sea Area, on an island called Blue Whale Island. The island had a very delicate location, which sat in the junction of the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area. It had a bit of land in the Seven-deity Regions and bits of another part in the Sea Area, so it was hard to tell which side it truly belonged to.

There were countless islands like this with few values in this world. Basically, Seven-deity Regions had no need to vie with Sea Area for island sovereignty. But when it came to the Blue Whale Island, which served as the entrance of the Taiyuan Heaven, things would be much different. Though this entrance only opened once every 1000 years, the profit inside was beyond imagination. Neither sides would give it up. After this entrance was found, several battles broke out between the Seven-deity Regions and Sea Area. They both suffered some losses. But later, they found that those battles were nonsense.

Without the Taiyuan Token, even if you took the Blue Whale Island as your home, you couldn’t enter the Taiyuan Heaven. Therefore, the Taiyuan Token became the key point of their battle. This gave way to another huge battle!

These kind of battles lasted for thousands of years, taking the lives of loads of experts, practitioners, and fighters. At last, an extremely stable state was formed with the calming down of the battle. The state was called the rules.

The rules had been set up.

Then everything they did should follow the rules. The Taiyuan Token had been distributed for both the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area. To some extent, though they had already had the rules, the Taiyuan gathering was still considerably competitive every time. The competitiveness existed within the Seven-deity Regions and also existed between the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area. In a word, in the circumstances the rules permitted, everybody tried to weaken each other’s strength, influences and even the last achievements they acquired. These all were a competition. A large-scale conflict wasn’t allowed. Robbing others wasn’t allowed, either. Otherwise, they would be seriously punished. However, if what you did hadn’t been seen by anyone or what you did didn’t leave any evidence for others to find, it meant you did nothing.

These were the real rules.

Blue Whale Island, named after the blue whale, was an island shaped like a whale. The part floating out of the water was like a giant blue whale out of the sea. The giant peak standing on the island was like the water column spat by the blue whale.

Looking from afar, it was quite like a blue whale leisurely floating on the sea.

“In front of us is the Blue Whale Island. We weren’t the first to arrive at the island given that it had already been imposed with an inhibition by someone else!”

All the influence couldn’t neglect the Blue Whale Island because of its special status and its function. It had no inviting resources or treasures except being the entrance of the Taiyuan Heaven. Thus, before the millennium gathering, basically, nobody would come to the island, whether they were from the Seven-deity Regions or from the Sea Area. Even when someone visited it, they wouldn’t cast any inhibition in that the island was covered by a thin layer of mist like today, which was quite different from the surroundings. One could easily tell that it was already under an inhibition.

“Hum! It’s only the Deception Technique. No big deal!” Mo Yinyang grinned. Flashing his body, he flew close to the Blue Whale Island and waved his hands.

A light grey smoke came out of his sleeve, mixing together with the thin mist around the Blue Whale Island. The mist shivered and gently cracked a slit. A passageway made of the mist and the grey smoke came out in front of the three people.

“Let’s go inside!” Taking a glance at Mo Yinyang, Zhou Bao said nothing, but flashed himself and squeezed into the passageway.

“Who are you? How dare you enter the Blue Whale Island uninvited?” A fierce shout came to them the moment they exposed themselves. Then, a sharp saber light directly flew to them, cutting at Zhou Bao who stood in the front.

“Go to hell!” With a cold expression, Zhou Bao lifted up his finger. A string of black and red Sword Qi sprayed out of Zhou Bao’s finger and hit squarely on the saber light.

A clatter sounded, and the saber light was crashed down by Zhou Bao’s Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi.

It wasn’t enough. During the counter-attack, Zhou Bao had already recognized the attacker. All of a sudden, he flashed in front of the attacker like a ghost, raised a hand and gave him a swift slap.

Clatter!

“Stop!”

Everything happened in as a short time as fleeting lightning. As Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi cracked down the saber light and he spanked the attacker, someone interrupted.

“Asking me to stop isn’t that easy!” Wang She, standing behind Zhou Bao, smiled coldly. His one hand was in a fake grasping state, with strings of blue electric lights spreading out of his fingers in the direction of the white-clothed man who shouted.

Oops!

That guy changed his expression to a miserable one. When he held up his hand, a cloud of gray smoke already covered him.

Cracking…

The electric light bumped into the gray smoke, producing several thuds which fell into silence gradually. However, at the same time, the white-clothed man hummed and made a few steps backward with a pale expression.

“Everybody stop! This is Blue Whale Island, not your Seven-deity Regions!”

A shout like a thunderbolt, deafeningly clapped in the sky and shocked everybody.

Such a loud voice!

Everybody including Zhou Bao, Wang She and Mo Yinyang, who stood behind, felt thunderstruck. Instead of using any Internal Qi, the voice simply came out of the throat. But the voice was much louder than that of a normal Level Nine expert who made full use of his Real Essence. Moreover, the power of it was also much stronger.

Zhou Bao sensed nothing but a roar in his ears. It was like a thunder blasting beside his ears.

Together with this shout, a figure that was incredulously tall and stout came out from the thin mist followed by a very strange-looking guy. A guy looked at his youth but his skin was gray. He wore no tops or pants, only a seaweed-like gray cloth attaching at his crotch to hide his crucial part. Additionally, there was another middle-aged brute in a cool outfit. He looked as normal as ordinary people, except a long and sharp thorn in his head.

“You humans are just like that! You only know how to fight with each other. I don’t care if you fight somewhere else. But this is the Blue Whale Island, which isn’t your place. You all need to watch your behavior. Otherwise, I, Lei, will clap you to death, one by one!”

When he spoke, Lei inflated his rock-like muscles slightly and stared at the six people at the site furiously.

“Alas! Isn’t it First Young Master Ma? What happened to your teeth? They all fell out! You, First Young Master Ma, need to grow your permanent teeth again?”

An enigmatic voice came out from another side. With several lights flashing by, another three men showed up at the site. A handsome teen with a weird smile, led these three men. Once he showed up, he looked at the Younger who was lying on the ground, covered his mouth, and was ready to stand up with a mocking smile on his face.

“All right! No words, ok? Though you rush to fight, it’s not the right time!” A middle-aged black-clothed man following the weird teen said. Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Bao was surprised slightly, since he had heard this voice once before. Looking at the direction where the voice came from, Zhou Bao couldn’t control himself to laugh, because the black-clothed man was the one who fought with Mandkesvara for the Innate Green Lotus at the Azure Secret Area.

“What a coincidence!” Zhou Bao laughed to himself. He then turned around to Wang She and Mo Yinyang without any comments.

“You Bastard! How dare you beat me! You—”

Clap! Another slap came on from Zhou Bao, “I don’t care who you are! But if you continue to insult me, I’ll slap you to death!”

“You…” The teen on the ground struggled to stand up. Looking at Zhou Bao with fury and malice displaying all over his face, he seemed to attempt to say something else, but was stopped by the white-clothed man.

“Ma Tianlu from Peacock Dynasty. May I have your name, Your Excellency?” The white-clothed man wearing a cold frosted expression, stabilized the teen and then asked Zhou Bao.

“Zhou Bao from the Jin!” Slightly lifting his head, Zhou Bao looked at Ma Tianlu.

For these days, he had been frenetically absorbing information about this world. He heard about the Peacock Dynasty which was also a big dynasty in Four Eastern Regions. But it neither belonged to the Central Mainland Region nor belonged to the Penglai Region. It was the biggest dynasty of Fangzhang Region. Like the Jin, it also had a Taiyuan Token.

While the Ma family was the biggest well-known one in the Peacock Dynasty. Only one family played a monopolistic rule in the Peacock Dynasty, unlike in the Jin where several families ruled together. The emperor of the Peacock Dynasty was only a puppet of the Ma family.

That was why when Yan Yuntian competed for being the Jade Emperor, the emperor of the Peacock Dynasty didn’t present among the candidates. A puppet didn’t have the qualification to apply for this position.

“Zhou Bao from the Jin!” Ma Tianlu nodded, “Expert of the Central Mainland Region. Sorry for my disrespect!”

Zhou Bao nodded and calmed down. At this time, his shabby gray robe, which was flying gently in the wind, made Zhou Bao look like a scholar without any property at home, instead it made him look like an expert who would kill anyone anytime.

The Blue Whale Island recovered from the initial conflict. There were four groups on the island at the moment. Except for Zhou Bao’s team, the first arrivals, who were the ones that set up the inhibition, were, the three people from Peacock Dynasty, who learned their lesson from Zhou Bao. And another two groups, who were the black-clothed stout man’s team and Lei’s team.

Among these twelve people, Lei’s team was the most eye-catching one. Apparently, they must be the evil beasts from the Sea Area instead of humans.

Because of their attraction, they became the focal point of all.

“What are you looking at?” Feeling uneasy, Lei roared abruptly waving his two arms that were as thick as hundred-year-old trunks, with extremely unkind expression.

Zhou Bao rolled his eyes and turned his eyesight to another direction, looking at the sky with boredom. The others also turned their eyesights to other directions.

“Eh?!” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao changed his expression slightly, emitting a light sigh. There was another three points of light converging on Blue Whale Island through that layer of thin mist.

Those three points of light came exactly from the Central Mainland Region. What’s more important, Zhou Bao discovered a string of similar spirit among those points of light.

It was the spirit of the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda!

As expected, when the three lights came closer, he could tell who they were.

“Damn, “Shit! What’s this f*cking inhibition they set up?” Zhou Bao scolded. Then he sent out a jet of black and red Sword Qi to crack down a nearby gray stone into ashes.

At the very moment when the gray stone was crushed, the thin mist around the Blue Whale Island went away immediately.

It was a little weird when the mist faded away. Without any preparation, the three lights in the air apparently paused for a while.

But they soon recognized the situation on the island. One of the lights accelerated his flying. It was Li Xiu.

“Haha! Junior Leopard, I can hardly believe you are here!” The bright and clear laughter came first before his arrival.

“I also never imagined that you’d be here!” With a gentle smile, Zhou Bao came to him. It was truly out of his expectation. Entering Taiyuan Heaven brought both opportunities and dangers. However, so many people in this world had the lucky psychology, and that was why they all competed for the valuable Taiyuan Token. Li Xiu’s cultivation only reached Level Seven. Though he was called the youngest expert in the Central Mainland Region, his capability was actually far below here. It was unexpected that he should be here.

“Thanks to you! Though my cultivation is so-so, I had the Pure Yang Celestial Device to protect me.” Facing Zhou Bao, Li Xiu shouted out this fact aloud instead of trying to hide it.

“Pure Yang Celestial Device”

Hearing this, all the people at the site stared at Li Xiu at the same time.

“Little Li, take it easy! Few people have a Pure Yang Celestial Device in this world!” Zhou Bao grinned and patted Li Xiu’s shoulder. Looking at the two rushing lights, he asked, “So, how about introducing your friends?”

The moment when he finished saying this, his expression turned eccentric. He knew the other two together with Li Xiu. One was the Happy Monk from whom he took great advantage of at the Azure Secret Area. From the suit of another one, he could easily tell that he was one of the 28 constellations from Immortal Palace. Casting another look, Zhou Bao almost laughed out. You know why? The masked guy was Golden Rooster!

“Happy Bald Ass, you’re also here!”

Before Li Xiu answered Zhou Bao, the black-clothed stout man lifted his eyebrows and shouted strangely, “How can such a bald ass have such good luck?”

“Hum! Great Dark Lord Du, Since you are here, why can’t I?” With a cold smile, Happy Monk looked around and his eyes lingered on Lei’s team for a while. But he shifted his eyesight away from Lei quickly, and turned all his attention to the companion of the black-clothed stout man. “Ah! Great Dark Lord Du, when did you change your partners? Who are they? Take your time and make an introduction!”

“You don’t need to know that much!” The black-clothed stout man sneered without any comments.

Though Happy Monk got the cold-shoulder treatment, he dared not turn against with the black-clothed stout man this time. Taking a glance at him with extreme unhappiness, he turned around and looked at Zhou Bao.

“So you are the Leopard from Yunzhou. I’ve heard that you crushed those bastards of Mingyi School. Interesting! Interesting!” Walking to Zhou Bao with laughs, he reached out his hands and intended to clap Zhou Bao on his shoulder.

With a gentle smile, Zhou Bao gently stepped backward which made him actually pat the air.

Happy Monk’s expression stiffened. A string of anger flashed in his eyes. But, when he saw Wang She was standing beside Zhou Bao with the unknown Mo Yinyang, he humped and walked away.

Li Xiu felt a little embarrassed and said, “Junior Leopard, he is the happy master of Small Thunder Temple. This is Sun Rooster of Hairy Head, one of the 28 constellations from Immortal Palace!”

Though they were familiar, at an occasion like this, it was better for them to pretend to be strangers. Zhou Bao nodded to Golden Rooster, and felt surprised that Immortal Palace indeed had the power it had, because it made three people enter the Taiyuan Heaven. What’s more, these three people were not the whole of Immortal Palace.

In the following hours, twenty teams came one by one. Six of them were from the Sea Area. While, judging from the relationship between these six teams, it was not calm in the Sea Area. They seemed to be hostile to each other. Lei almost fought with a stout man similar to his size.

There was no trust among these twenty teams. They were wary of each other. A weird atmosphere covered the Blue Whale Island. All the people were waiting for the opening of the Taiyuan Heaven.

Finally, in all the anxiety during the waiting, the Blue Whale Island had a change at last.

It was already slightly dark at the time when the sunset glow fulfilled the sky and the waves of the shocking space that came from the peak of the Blue Whale Island spread out in all directions.
