Chapter 677: Obtaining the Immortal Body Technique

“Hmm, am I afraid of you?!” Hearing the loud voice, Zhou Bao revealed a contemptuous sneer. He felt a pressure that was transmitted from another space, but he just turned his nose up at it. No matter how powerful the Old Demon of Black Mountain was, he was merely an Immortal.

Not to mention that he was unable to leave the Black Mountain World, and even if he could, it would be nothing serious. After all, Zhou Bao was never someone that could be trifled with.

His duel with Hei Chou had given him so much confidence. He was convinced that if he exerted all his might, he would even probably be able to escape if he encountered an Earthly Immortal at his current strong power. The Old Demon of Black Mountain’s cultivation was at the peak of the Immortal Realm, but he was not an Earthly Immortal. Meanwhile, he had no complete macro world, so Zhou Bao did not fear him. In fact, even if he did have a complete macro world, Zhou Bao would not be afraid of him either because he was the Fate Creator and had his own macro world. It was just that the macro world did not belong to him at the beginning. The way he chose to practice was different from others.

When he was crossing the Thunder Tribulation, he obtained two Great Ways contained in the 3,000 Great Ways. One was the Grand Ice Technique. If he practiced it to perfection, he could condense a Grand Ice World. The other was the best among all the 3,000 Great Ways. It was the Extreme Realm of Force—the Vacuum-crushing Skill. Moreover, it did not need to practice the Self-universe. What it practiced was the sheer power in this world. It advocated using absolute power to smash everything—be it world, universe or vacuum.

Since he had chosen this second Great Way to practice, he did not care too much about the Grand Ice World.

He knew that as long as he constantly advanced his power, he could rule myriads of macro worlds if he wanted to when his power reached its limit. The Old Demon of Black Mountain was merely an ordinary guy in the numerous macro worlds. There was nothing to fear about him.

“Well, Hei Chou was very vulnerable, and our plan has not been carried out. Let’s go back and wait to see if the Child-endowing Buddha can gain something good from his spirit tomorrow!”

What Zhou Bao cared about most was the Immortal Body Technique. He had experienced a lot of the advantages of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. The more he practiced, the more mysterious the Seven Wonderful Techniques seemed to him. Whatever kind of cultivation method or Divine Sense had its limit in terms of effects, the Extreme Realm of Force had also. However, the Seven Wonderful Techniques seemed to have no limit.

Take the Heavenly Jade Technique for example. If he kept practicing all the time, his power would increase without any limit, as long as his body could bear it. In theory, he was able to shatter the whole universe with a punch. This was presumably abnormal. When he practiced the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to perfection, he even could transform himself into dust that was the same as the ordinary dust in the universe. Furthermore, when the Dharma Power-restoring Skill was practiced to perfection, the consumption of the Dharma power would never concern him. There was a saying: “Believe in Brother Chun and you are able to revive on the spot”. Similarly, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill could instantly restore the Dharma power on the spot. Coupled with the immense amount of Dharma power stored in his giant Dantian, he was convinced that no one in this world was able to exhaust him if he was involved in a prolonged battle.

According to this speculation, if he practiced the Immortal Body Technique to perfection, it should have the same function as Brother Chun and he would be able to revive on the spot.

According to the effect that Hei Chou had shown, this secret skill could also enhance defensive power. It was so practical that he could not wait for the Child-endowing Buddha to come back.

“It’s the secret of the Immortal Body Technique. In addition, there are the Black Mountain Undisciplined Skill and all the extraordinary secret skills Hei Chou mastered. Moreover, there are 12 Supreme-class Pure Yang Celestial Devices, 37 Pure Yang Celestial Devices of upper, middle, and lower grade, and a total of 178 bottles of elixir!”

The Child-endowing Buddha’s expression looked quite strange. He put everything he had gotten from Hei Chou in front of Zhou Bao. “I also got a message from him; the Old Demon of Black Mountain knows the location of an Ancient Divine Palace, so he sent Hei Chou to the Heaven Realm World as a pioneer to make arrangements in advance. That’s why Hei Chou took a liking to your Wuyang Region. After occupying it, he would be able to snatch that Ancient Divine Palace without anyone knowing it.”

“Ancient Divine Palace?!” Zhou Bao looked somewhat grave. Be it the things that happened in the Primordial Origin or in primitive times, there were still some rumors about them that remained. However, the era that ancient deities had lived in was an enigma for people nowadays. They only knew that such an era did exist in the past and there were some legends about the deities from that period. The detailed information about them was all buried under the long river of time. People would forget this era if Zhou Bao had not had a middle-grade divine device.

The Divine Palaces of the ancient deities were enigmas, just like that era. Some said that there were a lot of treasures, but others said that there were dangers lurking on every side. However, they had to admit that all the practitioners that had once entered the Ancient Divine Palaces would certainly become Earthly Immortals as long as they could come out alive.

Of course, that was also a legend!

The Divine Palace was the target of the Old Demon of Black Mountain. He had stayed in the Immortal Realm for quite a long time, and he had even had the thought to hang himself. In any case, he had been unable to find a way to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm. When the message leaked out from the Heaven Realm World, he saw a glimmer of hope. As long as he could pin down the exact location of the Divine Palace, he would surely have his way to get to the Heaven Realm from the Black Mountain World and enter the Divine Palace to acquire the mysteries of stepping into the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, he had not expected Hei Chou, who possessed a Heavenly Fairy Weapon and a Middle-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon, to be killed.

Hei Chou was killed by his own self-confidence.

In his opinion, he could snatch a ready-made place without making an effort in the Heaven Realm World, where there was a lack of Spiritual Qi and the most powerful practitioners were merely Human Immortals. Nonetheless, he had never expected that there would be a freak like Zhou Bao. Being careless, he was killed by Zhou Bao and the Child-endowing Buddha, and all his treasures and collections fell into their hands.

“These celestial devices are useless to me. But I have a lot of subordinates, so I’d better keep them and put them with the Pure Yang Celestial Devices I’ve obtained from the Sea Area.” Although Zhou Bao was extremely wealthy, he was badly in need of elixirs and magic weapons. As his subordinates were ever-increasing and getting more powerful day by day, they should at least have one or two celestial devices. He did have many celestial devices, but when they were distributed to his men, each one of them could only get a few weapons. It really confirmed the saying: “The head of the household knows the cost of fuel and rice”. Although he scarcely took charge of affairs at home, he still felt highly pressured. He felt he would never have enough celestial devices. Therefore, he did not bother to be that courteous in front of the Child-endowing Buddha as he accepted all the things. After all, it was he who had defeated Hei Chou. He just left Hei Chou at the Child-endowing Buddha’s disposal. All those things were supposed to be his. He had satisfied the Child-endowing Buddha’s desire to get revenge on Hei Chou, so the Child-endowing Buddha should repay him for his kindness.

Of course, if the Child-endowing Buddha were not here, even if he could take out Hei Chou’s spirit, he would not have been able to get so much information from his spirit. That was an easy task for the Child-endowing Buddha, who easily got what Zhou Bao wanted.

“What did you do to his spirit?”

“There will be no such person as Hei Chou in this world again. Even though the Old Demon of Black Mountain controls the entire Black Mountain World, he cannot let Hei Chou reincarnate fully intact!” When mentioning Hei Chou, traces of hatred intermingled with excitement flashed through the eyes of the Child-endowing Buddha.

“Zhou Bao, since you gave me this guy’s spirit, I owe you a big favor. You can ask me to do anything in the future, and as long as I am able to do it, I will not refuse!”

“What a cunning guy! What do you mean that you will do whatever you can for me? If you cannot do anything, will all my efforts have been in vain?” Zhou Bao complained in his heart. He knew it was quite difficult for the Child-endowing Buddha to make such a promise judging by his personality.

“Do you know the exact position of the Divine Palace from the era of ancient deities?”

“The exact situation is only known to the Old Demon of Black Mountain. He has two tasks; find a safe place in the Seven-deity Regions and settle down, and ascertain the strength there. It seems that he planned to lurk in the Heaven Realm World for a long time. Therefore, I guess the location of the Ancient Divine Palace should be very secluded and it should be extremely difficult for anyone to discover. Otherwise, given his character, he would never adopt this approach.”

“The Old Demon of Black Mountain no longer can threaten us, unless he recklessly runs to the Heaven Realm World to avenge his son; otherwise, we can ignore him for the time being!” Zhou Bao thought for a while and added, “Even if the other macro worlds already know some things about the Heaven Realm World, including the exact location of the Divine Palace, they will never be willing to take the initiative to act and be the enemy of the Heaven Realm World. In that case, we don’t have to act ostentatiously like we did today. As long as they don’t provoke us first, we don’t need to care about those troublesome matters. Anyway, there are still the Sea Area and the few big sects in the Seven-deity Regions to worry about these things!”

“That sounds reasonable. But given your current status in the Seven-deity Regions, you are the focal point of others. No matter what the origins of the guys coming to the Heaven Realm World are, they have to take your attitude into consideration, as do the sects in the Seven-deity Regions!”

“Hmm, let those sects run their courses. I will not care about other sects except for the Immortal Palace!” Zhou Bao sneered and continued, “Especially the Divine Wind Palace. Were it not useful, I would have exterminated it. How can I allow its disciples to lord it over others in the Seven-deity Regions?!”
