Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 387: The Flipping Sky Seal

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The appearance of Zhou Bao meant trouble!

This was his main intention!

Just as he had done at Mingyi School previously, he came to Golden Lights Cave in Qianyuan Mountain with the same purpose in mind.

Although he was known to be an unreasonable person, it would be better if he was there with a reason to stir up trouble.

And those people who were together in the boite provided him with a good opportunity. They sprang into action and attacked Zhou Bao first. All these gave him a good reason to retaliate. Now what he would do was to attract the attention of the Master of Golden Lights Cave and challenge him to a fight. The Master, who desired to set up a new sect and pass down their Uniform Dao, was the so-called Patriarch among those people.

And this Mingyi School’s disciple standing before him was just a pawn in the game, a mere toy.

Watching Fang Tieyi with an amused smile, Zhou Bao’s eyes looked at him as if he was a mere plaything.

It would have been appropriate if Fang Tieyi’s name was changed to Fang Tieqing at this moment. The reason was that his face was much like that of a chameleon, undergoing a change of colors, from livid to ghastly white.

Others regarded what Zhou Bao said as a joke, but the one who had come from Mingyi School refused to take it as such. The name Yunzhou Zhou Bao was a thorn in the sides of all the people at Mingyi School. Fang Tieyi was not around when Zhou Bao battled with Mingyi School. However, each time he saw the broken gate, he could still feel Zhou Bao’s domineering arrogance during that night when he broke into the Mingyi School alone.

They could not afford to offend such a person.

However, the truth was that he did offend him.

Certainly, a person like Zhou Bao normally did not take offense about such a small incident at all, just like a person did not take an ant’s opinion to heart. People like him were no different from ants to Zhou Bao.

However the problem was that Zhou Bao wanted to seize this opportunity to achieve his own goals. In this world, what else would make Zhou Bao take full advantage of this opportunity and come to this small county at the at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain?

There was only one answer: Master of Golden Lights Cave!

Fang Tieyi was an extremely clever person. He instantly knew what Zhou Bao’s purpose for coming was when he saw him and what he was trying to do.

It was this intelligence that made him much more afraid.

When the immortals battled against each other, it was the little devils who suffered the most loss. He was unintentionally involved in the conflict between the two giant influences. What was the end result he would face was easy to figure out.

The sentiments, be it of good will or animosity among these influential men was not something that he should be concerned about.

But it was too late to consider all these things. It was also too late to feel regret. Zhou Bao had already proposed his terms and conditions and would not take them back. Now, it was his turn to make a choice.

However, he did not feel utter despair; the choice was not his to make.

He had no idea about the levels of Zhou Bao and the Master of Golden Lights Cave’s cultivation. But one thing he was sure about was that all events happening here would be made known to the Master of Golden Lights Cave, and could not be kept a secret. A person who was listed in the Immortal Book did not deserve to have that honor if he could not even deduce what events were happening. Yunzhou Zhou Bao would not be here in person. Besides, being a disciple of Mingyi School, if he should meet with an accident that occurred within the scope of Golden Lights Cave’s influence, the cooperation between the two influences would be affected. Therefore, he was very certain that the Master of Golden Lights Cave would have a hand in this matter.

Even though he was aware of the outcome, inwardly it was not easy for him to remain calm in the face of Zhou Bao’s animosity.

“Zhou Bao, with your current status, does it make any sense to threaten a junior?”

His prayers had been answered! The Master of Golden Lights Cave did not let Fang Tieyi wait for too long. While Fang Tieyi was subjected to Zhou Bao’s teasing attention, suddenly an august voice could be heard, as clear and loud as a bell. It stirred up feelings in everyone’s hearts.

“Patriarch—!”

“It’s the Patriarch’s voice. It’s him!”

“I never thought I would have a chance to ever hear the Patriarch’s voice. I’m so lucky!”

Needless to say, the Master of Golden Lights Cave still had a supreme prestige in Lingdong County. But the reaction from the people around made Zhou Bao frown slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated the esteem held by the Master of Golden Lights Cave among those people.

However, he did not care about it. After all, it was not something like water and boat: Water can support a boat, yet it was able to overturn it at the same time. Hence, having the people’s support was of little use.

“It does. Within the scope of your Golden Lights Cave influence, whatever I do becomes interesting. This time I am here to destroy your Golden Lights Cave and ruin your reputation. What do you think of it? Don’t try to be something of an enigma. Come out!”

“Why? I’m not your enemy—!”

“Come on Old man! Stop spouting meaningless words. Others will simply despise you. Since you want to get my formation map, just use your strength to fight for it. Now I can’t afford to offend the Divine Wind Palace. But I don’t care if I offend you. All of this is happening because of you. You should put an end to it!” Zhou Bao said coldly. “Use the easiest way to overcome me and get the formation map. If you lose, just give Golden Lights Cave to me. The spirit vein here is good. You really chose a good place!”

“All right, it is a deal!”

Now that they had made this pact, both sides had no more opportunities for further negotiation.

As soon as the”deal” word was spoken, masses of Sword Qi gathered over the Golden Lights Cave and formed a giant sword-shaped shadow.

“Zhou Bao, the battle between us has nothing to do with these ordinary folks. If you want to settle our problem, come to Qianyuan Mountain. I will wait for you there!”

“Ok!” Zhou Bao answered with a smile but he stood his ground. He turned his head and cast a look at Fang Tieyi. “Don’t leave. Wait for me to come back. I want to know what your choice is. I want to see whether Mingyi School’s disciple is the same as what I imagined one to be like! Hahahaha!”

With a snort, Zhou Bao disappeared from the scene.

Fang Tieyi’s body was totally rigid but his legs were so wobbly that they suddenly gave way. His whole body was soaked in cold sweat. He had to grab the rails on the second floor for support. Only in this way could he ensure that he would not fall due to fright. At the same time, he heard heavy breathing behind him: Li Guan’s face was also drained of color and he was thanking the heavens that he had survived.

“How could not he be happy?”

He had narrowly escaped death in the face of great calamity!

At this moment, he remembered a rumor he had heard. At the bottom of his heart, he was a little bit grateful to his unpleasant cousin. Perhaps a good relationship between Li Xiu and Zhou Bao had enabled him to escape from this disaster. He was not like the unlucky person beside him, who was still caught in a dilemma.

BOOM!

An earthshaking boom and the ensuing earthquake pulled them back from their reverie. On Qianyuan Mountain, the battle between two troublemakers from the past and current generation had begun.

A golden sun emerged over Qianyuan Mountain. This sun and the real sun added radiance and beauty to the sky, complementing each other. However, this golden sun was not the actual sun. It was a deadly celestial device.

The shadow of the Golden Flame Mirror!

The sustenance from the Skull Elixir Furnace increased the Golden Flame Mirror’s power, which was several levels higher than before. The mirror’s shadow spiraled over Zhou Bao, emitting lights in all directions. It looked like a golden sun and fiercely shot its rays toward the Golden Lights Cave.

The Master of Golden Lights Cave was already a well-known figure since several decades ago. His nobility was known throughout the world, and nobody dared to provoke him. He had played a formidable role. Only with the help of the recently accumulated great Sword Qi was the battle between him and the Golden Flame Mirror an equal tie.

“How interesting. There’s a formation in this Golden Lights Cave. And it connects with the earth vein. This guy is in the center of it all and even condensed the pneuma within the radius of several kilometers into the Sword Qi. It’s even a match for my Golden Flame Mirror.”

The Essential Qi broadsword was smashed by the Golden Flame Mirror after three rounds of collisions. However, it did not disappear. Instead, the formation turned it into countless tiny pneuma Sword Qi. Because the pneuma was composed of varying substances, these Sword Qi were different too. There were Fire Sword Qi, Ice Sword Qi, Earth Sword Qi, Stone Sword Qi, Water Sword Qi, Metal Sword Qi, corrosive Sword Qi and Wind Sword Qi—!

In a word, there was a variety of them, all mingled together and it did not matter whether Zhou Bao had ever come face to face with them before. They revealed a great killing intent, abruptly heading toward Zhou Bao.

“Great timing!” A light golden halo flashed around him. Those innumerable Sword Qi broke up several meters from him and finally transformed into original pneuma.

Splash! Splash!

Meanwhile, the Real Essence inside Zhou Bao’s body was gushing forth like a raging river. The sounds could be clearly heard. It was difficult for people to imagine that this forceful Real Essence could be activated to extremes in an instant.

The Golden Flame Mirror’s radiance returned to his body. Zhou Bao hovered in the air. An evil yellow light flickered in his eyes and his hands were pressed together in a strange gesture. The Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill integrated with each other perfectly. Then, they activated together in a mysterious track. In Zhou Bao’s body, nine acupoints interconnected and formed a giant Dantian where the Demonic Fire surged forth; it condensed and flowed into Zhou Bao’s hands in a continuous stream.

For a moment, Zhou Bao’s hands pressed downwards. At that very time, his Real Essence gushed out and condensed into a giant golden point in the air. From this, an inexhaustible force shot out. Golden lights were spewing forth in every direction. Within the light, there were some black wriggly lines squirming and igniting into flames, which formed into a series of complex talismans.

This golden gesture swept through and extinguished all of the others.

It seemed that all the things were disintegrating into fine powder.

The space within an area of hundreds of miles was sealed off when the golden power appeared. All the things within the space were not able to move, they were like insects trapped in a chamber!

Zhou Bao gave a bitter laugh, and the golden gesture suddenly dropped and violently crashed against Qianyuan Mountain. The protective formation of the Golden Lights Cave began to flicker. Numberless pneuma which had transformed into Sword Qi suddenly slammed onto the golden power. However, they were crushed by the golden light.

A secret skill!
