Senior Grand Tutor Hong was defeated.
When he saw Hong Taihe solidify his Self-world without hesitation, Yu Taixu breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly closed his eyes and sat down. He leaned back against the back of the chair and did not speak for a long time.
Similarly, Zhou Bao's five fingers turned into claws, and there was a faint mist between his fingertips. But he did not grab Hong Taihe because he knew that Hong Taihe had admitted defeat the moment he solidified his Self-world.
When he was in the Azure Big World, he had heard from Jing XIII about the battles at the Lord of Heaven Level. He naturally knew about the World-solidifying, the last resort of a Lord of Heaven.
Therefore, when he saw the purple crystal appear, a smile flashed across Zhou Bao's face. His figure flashed and he landed on Turtle Back Mountain faster than Senior Grand Tutor Hong.
Not long after he landed on Turtle Back Mountain, he heard a bang. The purple crystal also fell to the ground and bounced twice. Then, the purple crystal disappeared and Senior Grand Tutor Hong appeared in front of the crowd with a pale face.
"You've won this round!" He glanced at Zhou Bao and could not say anything else. He had solidified his Self-world. Not only was his protective world destroyed, but his Gang Qi, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, had also disappeared. He was no longer able to compete with Zhou Bao. Under such circumstances, if he did not admit defeat, he would appear to be helpless.
With his identity and status, he had lost so easily to a young man like Zhou Bao today. He could not bring himself to stay here any longer. He flicked his sleeves and took back the Red Jade Long-necked Bottle and the golden puppet. Without another word or a second look, he left Turtle Back Mountain with Emperor Yang.
"Haha, I seem to have offended this guy!" Zhou Bao grinned and took back the Flipping Sky Seal and the Gold Bracelet. He looked up and felt that everyone's gaze was completely different from before. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He turned to Chen Jinzhong and said, "Excuse me, has the candidate for the Human Emperor been decided?"
Chen Jinzhong took a deep look at Zhou Bao and nodded. "Well, since you've won, then it's settled. However, the Golden Throne has been destroyed. It's not realistic to rebuild it. It will take some time to make a replacement. Therefore, the coronation may have to wait for a few days!"
"I'm not in a hurry!" Zhou Bao waved his hand and smiled. "Father-in-law, are you in a hurry?"
Yan Yuntian felt like he was in a dream. Hearing Zhou Bao's words, he shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry, I'm not in a hurry either!"
"Hahahahaha …!" When the crowd saw this, they couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that all the accidents that happened at the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony today had been forgotten along with the laughter.
… …
…
"Divine Wind Palace, is this the Divine Wind Palace?"
Looking at the magnificent palace, Zhou Bao secretly praised it in his heart. The Divine Wind Palace was much better than his Sea-calming Palace in terms of scale, style, and Qi Power.
This place was simply an independent micro world, and the concentration of spiritual qi in it was no less than that of 33 Heavens like Azure Heaven. However, this space was somewhat similar to the gray space crack of the Sea of Divine Power, which was integrated with the Azure Secret Area and later turned into the Sea of Divine Power. There was nothing but spiritual qi. Such a place was undoubtedly the best choice to build palaces and practice places.
Now, this space was completely used to build the Divine Wind Palace. Moreover, after many years, the originally lifeless space had become full of vitality. There were exotic flowers and grasses, fairy beasts and rare birds. Even around the Divine Wind Palace, there was an extremely dense primeval forest, overflowing with Divine Qi, extending to the endless distance.
Yan Yuntian had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, he was a little stunned.
He was now a candidate for the Human Emperor. Although he couldn't be crowned immediately because the Golden Jade Throne was destroyed, it was already a done deal. It could be said that in terms of status, he was already on par with the big shots of the five biggest sects.
Of course, this was only in name. Now, none of the suzerains of the five biggest sects had arrived. Even the lord of the Divine Wind Palace, Yu Taixu, was not present. Only Chen Jinzhong was accompanying him, and behind him were the spectators of the other four biggest sects.
After becoming a candidate for the Human Emperor, Yan Yuntian's status had greatly increased. He stood at the front, followed by Chen Jinzhong, who took half a step back. As they walked, he introduced the situation of the Divine Wind Palace to Yan Yuntian. Behind them were Elder Qing, Child-endowing Buddha, and others from the five biggest sects. As for Zhou Bao, he had already stood at the top of the steps, looking up at the big plaque in front of the palace.
The Human Emperor Palace!
Yes, this was the Human Emperor Palace, not the Grand Divine Wind Palace!
The Divine Wind Palace and the Grand Divine Wind Palace were two different concepts. The Divine Wind Palace was the name of a sect and a small space, while the Grand Divine Wind Palace was one of the countless palaces in the Divine Wind Palace, and also the most magnificent one.
As for the Human Emperor Palace, it seemed a little out of place with the surrounding buildings. Although it was also tall, magnificent, and splendid, it was less imposing than the other buildings. It did not have the innate sense of vicissitudes. Sandwiched in the large palaces of the Divine Wind Palace, it was like a nouveau riche.
Yes, it was the feeling of a nouveau riche.
Of course, this was just Zhou Bao's feeling. Yan Yuntian was completely in ecstasy at this time. He liked the Human Emperor Palace very much. How could he say that it was not suitable for him?
As they walked, Chen Jinzhong introduced the place to Zhou Bao. Like his name, he was very conscientious.
Yan Yuntian originally wanted to go with Zhou Bao, but apparently, Zhou Bao did not have the consciousness of being Yan Yuntian's subordinate. He looked around and admired the scenery. Yan Yuntian could do nothing but smile bitterly.
Originally, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought that if he could really become a candidate for the Human Emperor, he could use the coercion of the candidate for the Human Emperor to make Zhou Bao worry about him. Sometimes, he could even be used by Zhou Bao.
But after watching the duel between Zhou Bao and Senior Grand Tutor Hong, he even forgot this little thought.
The candidate for the Human Emperor was very authoritative and had a great influence. In a sense, it was the name of righteousness. What was the name of righteousness?
To put it bluntly, it was the will of Heaven. After the coronation, through a series of extremely complicated ceremonies, the candidate for the Human Emperor could receive some wills from the dark. If he could act according to these wills and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, he would have great help when he was doing things. He might even be blessed with fate and obtain a large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth. If he did not want to do things himself and left things to others, then those who did the work would also get great benefits. These benefits were invisible, but deeply felt. Therefore, enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven was what practitioners liked to do most. Doing one would bring great benefits. Then, if one had complete control of the Human Emperor, how many benefits would there be?
It was innumerable. This was also why the Divine Wind Palace had been so keen on the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony for so many years. Once the candidate for the Human Emperor was in their hands, it was equivalent to having a wonderful trump card. It would be much more convenient to do things.
But this time, everyone had miscalculated.
Yan Yuntian seemed to be very powerful and had a high possibility of being the candidate. But in the eyes of the big shots, he was just there to make up the numbers. Therefore, they did not have much contact with him. Other influences in the Divine Wind Palace, such as Yu Nancheng's faction, secretly made friends with Yan Yuntian, but they did not care about it. They just regarded it as a game, waiting to see how Yu Nancheng would draw water with a wicker basket.
No one had expected that the wicker basket would be inexplicably sealed up by Zhou Bao and the water was drawn up.
This meant that Yan Yuntian's status was completely different. This young master could be considered to be famous now.
"Hey, can we go to another place? Let's go to the Grand Divine Wind Palace. The Human Emperor Palace looks like a place where the nouveau riche lives!" By the time Chen Jinzhong led the crowd to the entrance of the Human Emperor Palace, Zhou Bao was already standing there. As soon as he saw Chen Jinzhong, he seemed a little unhappy.
Hearing this, Chen Jinzhong almost sent Zhou Bao flying with a kick. The Human Emperor Palace was like a nouveau riche, wanting to live in the Grand Divine Wind Palace. For so many years, perhaps only Zhou Bao dared to say this.
The Grand Divine Wind Palace was where the lord of the Divine Wind Palace lived. Although the candidate for the Human Emperor had some authority, in the end, it was the lord of the Divine Wind Palace who was in charge, not the candidate for the Human Emperor.
Looking at Zhou Bao's smiling eyes, Chen Jinzhong could only shake his head helplessly. "King Wuyang said that the Human Emperor Palace is for the candidate for the Human Emperor to live. The candidate for the Human Emperor controls the world. Only in the Human Emperor Palace can the dignity of the Human Emperor be reflected!"
"Oh, could it be that there's something more to it?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. The location chosen by the Human Emperor's Palace is the location of the Nine-nine Supremes. There's no better place than that in this world!"
"Can't the Grand Divine Wind Palace be compared to it?"
"The location of the Grand Divine Wind Palace was decided in antiquity times. The layout is so mysterious that no one can see through it. No one knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Bao, who was full of disbelief, and said with a wry smile, "Don't be fooled by the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. Since antiquity times, less than half of the lords of the Divine Wind Palace have had a good death. Since the establishment of the Human Emperor Palace, every candidate for the Human Emperor has died of old age."
"There is such a thing?!" Zhou Bao did not expect this, but he also knew that Chen Jinzhong would not lie to him. In this case, the location of the Human Emperor Palace was really good.
