Zhou Bao was not disturbed when he returned to the Seven-deity Regions, and no one dared to disturb him.
Except for Mr. Feng IX, no one knew what they had experienced in the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha, who had gained a lot of benefits in the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, went back with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had become much closer after this incident.
What he didn't know was that in the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, under the leadership of the Child-endowing Buddha, the two of them had reaped great benefits with ease. Even fairy weapons were in their hands. How could their relationship not be good?
Therefore, as soon as they came back, they hurriedly went into closed-door training to refine fairy weapons. How could they have time to care about the chaos in the Seven-deity Regions?
Zhou Bao did not care about the chaos in the Seven-deity Regions. He also needed time to practice. After obtaining the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and strengthening the Black Pearl, he had a further understanding of the strength and power of the Supreme Fairy Weapon. From it, he also comprehended many ways to practice and change. Of course, he needed to do closed-door training to carefully stabilize his state and prepare for the Void Thunder Tribulation in the future.
He also learned from Mr. Feng IX that if he wanted to feel the will of the Void Immortal Realm, the best way was to undergo the Void Thunder Tribulation. Undergoing the Thunder Tribulation in the macro world, although the power of the Thunder Tribulation was greatly reduced, it could only receive a very vague or even negligible will of the Void Immortal Realm. This was not in line with Zhou Bao's needs.
Moreover, unlike ordinary people who only experienced one Thunder Tribulation, he wanted to go through at least six Thunder Tribulations in one go and achieve the Lord of Heaven Karma Rank. In this way, he would face great pressure. Even with his current cultivation and strength, he was not confident that he could go through all the Thunder Tribulations. In fact, if he had not obtained the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, he would not be so confident. The biggest difference between going through many Void Thunder Tribulations at one go and going through several Thunder Tribulations at one go was that if you went through many Thunder Tribulations at one go, you would feel the willpower of the Immortal Realm continuously. But if you went through the Thunder Tribulations again and again, you would feel the willpower of the Immortal Realm separately. In the present world, there was no difference. However, for people like Zhou Bao who had embarked on the cultivation path of Ancient Divine Senses, the difference was huge.
The 3,000 Great Ways were the will of the Immortal Realm that the practitioners who underwent the Void Thunder Tribulation consecutively felt in antiquity times. In the beginning, the practitioners who underwent the Void Thunder Tribulation sensed some small secret methods. After undergoing the Void Thunder Tribulation three times in a row, they would be able to sense one of the 3,000 Great Ways that were similar to the Divine Sense and secret methods they had received before. Of course, they had to undergo the Thunder Tribulation six times in a row before they could sense the complete 3,000 Great Ways. If they went one step further and underwent the Void Thunder Tribulation seven times in a row, they would be able to sense a Divine Sense, which was similar to the 3,000 Great Ways that they had comprehended before. If they could undergo the Void Thunder Tribulation eight times in a row, then congratulations, they would be able to reach the peak of the Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven immediately. They could undergo the Thunder Tribulation nine times at any time and achieve the Human Immortal Karma Rank.
Wanting to undergo the Thunder Tribulation nine times in a row and directly become a Human Immortal?
Sorry, you don't have this opportunity. Even if you have the strength, there are only eight Void Thunder Tribulations. You don't even know where to go if you want to be struck.
Of course, all of the above could only be achieved on the basis of undergoing the Void Thunder Tribulation. If you were to undergo the Thunder Tribulation in an independent macro world, even if you were struck 80 times, you would not be able to receive the will of the Void Immortal Realm and completely comprehend any of the 3,000 Great Ways, let alone eight times.
Ten years passed by quickly. For Zhou Bao who was practicing in the Sea of Divine Power, it was a total of 300 years.
The Wheel of Time could adjust the flow of time in the Azure Big World. However, since the Azure Big World absorbed the Star World, its power had been greatly enhanced and the Dharma of the Great Ways had been further perfected. Even Zhou Bao could not move the Wheel of Time as freely as before.
Now, his limit was to adjust the time to the ratio of 30 to 1 in the present world. If it lasted for 10 years, he would need to stop for one year. This was his limit. If he forced it to continue, he would destroy the Dharma of the Great Ways of the entire Azure Big World.
Although Zhou Bao was in charge of the Dharma of the Great Ways of the Azure Big World, he did not want to destroy it at will. What a joke! This was his own world. It was his own world. It was not worth it to destroy it for a little time. For practitioners in the present world, time was never enough. But for Zhou Bao, who was less than 30 years old, time was the most important thing.
"Father, you've finally come out. I've been here many times, but I can't see you every time. He seems to be in a bad mood!"
"Ignore him. He's the Emperor of Jin. What does he mean by coming to my Wuyang Region every day?" Zhou Bao, who had just come out of his closed-door training, looked at the dignified young man and said with a smile, "Eggy, I haven't seen you for a few days and your cultivation has improved. You're almost at Level Eight!"
This young man was his and Yan Yunfei's son, Zhou Mu. His nickname was Eggy.
Obviously, Zhou Mu was very unhappy with his nickname. He raised his face and said, "Father, I've told you many times not to call me Eggy. I'm a Level Eight expert now. If you call me that again, it'll be too shameful!"
"Hahahaha, why not? What's wrong with Eggy?" Zhou Bao had a malicious smile on his face. "Where's Dinosaur? Why didn't she come?"
"Father, don't forget that Big Sister said last time that if you call her Dinosaur again, she won't talk to you!"
"What's wrong with this girl calling her Dinosaur? No one will dare to bully her in the future!"
"Even if she doesn't call her Dinosaur, no one will dare to bully her!" Zhou Mu muttered.
"Why? Are you not satisfied with your nicknames?"
Zhou Mu didn't say anything. To tell the truth, when faced with this legendary old man with an extreme sense of evil, reasoning with him was useless. Which father in his right mind would give his twin daughters the nickname of a dinosaur and his son the nickname of an egg? Together, they would be called Dinosaur Egg. That was too much of a scam. But Zhou Bao did it. Not only did he do it, but he also called them that since they were children.
They did not feel it when they were young, but as they grew older, they increasingly felt that these two nicknames were inappropriate. Unfortunately, Zhou Bao was as usual and did not care about their feelings at all.
Perhaps this was the only resentment they had for Zhou Bao.
"By the way, did anything interesting happen while I was in closed-door training?"
"Nothing interesting. I heard that Lei Xu took over as the leader of Tian Long Taoism and Uncle Wang became the First Elder. Also, recently, the Infinite Star Sea has been infiltrating the Seven-deity Regions more and more. Unknown experts have appeared in many places. Even some Individual Immortals from several big sects have encountered some trouble. I heard that three Individual Immortals from Divine Wind Palace have died!"
"Divine Wind Palace is now an arrow at the end of its flight. There is nothing to worry about. For the past 10 years, their real experts have been holed up in the Grand Palace of Divine Wind. No matter how many Individual Immortals have died, it will not affect their foundation!" Zhou Bao waved his hand and glanced at Zhou Mu's handsome face. He seemed very helpless. "Eggy, look, you're the only one who came to greet me today. Did your mother lose her temper again?"
Zhou Mu winked and smiled. "How could she not be mad at you for treating First Uncle like that?!"
"If you call her old lady again, she will immediately appear in front of you and beat you up!" Zhou Bao laughed and said, "Let's go and meet those two women. Let's see what they can do to me!" As he spoke, he patted his son on the shoulder and pulled him to the backyard of the mansion.
Ten years was not a long time for practitioners, but it could change many things. For example, children turned from naughty children to teenagers. For example, the fall of a dynasty and the birth of a new one. For example, a new generation of experts grew up and shone. For example, the power of Divine Wind Palace would shrink completely.
These were all things that could happen in ten years.
After Zhou Bao returned to Wuyang Region from the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, he did not care about the affairs of the world. Among the practitioners, he only had a close relationship with Wang She in public and a close relationship with Child-endowing Buddha in secret. He did not care about anything else.
With him guarding Wuyang Region, no one would go crazy to touch his tiger's buttocks whether he was there or not. Coupled with the suitable development path, Wuyang Region was already the lord of the whole north. Just like Northern Yuan in the past, the whole north was at his feet. Compared to Northern Yuan in the past, Wuyang Region was more powerful and more deterrent.
However, Zhou Bao did not take this opportunity to unify the north. Under his rule, the whole north was like a country with a feudal system. He never touched the interests of the feudal aristocrats and even gave them some benefits on many occasions. This made all the territories in the north follow his lead. As for the Jin Dynasty that had enfeoffed them, these lords had long forgotten about it.
The secular world had changed greatly, and so had the cultivation world. In the battle of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, Divine Wind Palace lost its Supreme Fairy Weapon and its lord. Immediately, it fell into chaos.
In the past, when Yu Taixu was still alive, he could use his powerful strength to suppress the factional struggles in the palace. However, after Yu Taixu's death, Divine Wind Palace became chaotic and split. If it were not for several Highest Elders who suddenly appeared and stopped the disputes with thunderous means, Divine Wind Palace, which had been famous in the Heaven Realm for tens of thousands of years, would really fall apart.
Although the internal chaos was barely suppressed, the external pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
Mr. Feng IX, who had entered the Thunder Emperor's touring abode with Yu Taixu, came back alive and told them what had happened. The other four biggest sects and even several super sects in the Three Western Regions learned that Yu Taixu, the lord of Divine Wind Palace, had died and that a Supreme Fairy Weapon had disappeared with him. At the same time, they secretly took a deep breath and began to take action.
After losing several fairy weapons, a Supreme Fairy Weapon, and a lord, there was no doubt that Divine Wind Palace's strength had been greatly weakened. Although they did not know how much, at least they would not be as overbearing as before. As they had expected, Divine Wind Palace, which had suffered such a heavy blow, was no longer as prosperous as before. Its power was completely retracted. Except for the Central Mainland Region, it also gave up another region of the Four Eastern Regions. Only then did it stabilize the four biggest sects.
In the Central Mainland Region, Zhou Bao had expressed his intention to expel the power of the School of Five Virtues in an extremely forceful manner. Regarding this, both the Divine Wind Palace and the Jin Imperial Family were furious. However, the Jin Imperial Family had no say in this matter. As for the School of Five Virtues, after Zhou Bao and Wang She joined forces to attack it, the power of the School of Five Virtues completely retreated and returned to the base camp of the Divine Wind Palace. This included the "Man of Honor" Ji Zhongtang and the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou.
The enmity between the former Chief of Tian Long Taoism and the current First Elder, Wang She, and the White Blademaster, Lu Shaoyou, and the Man of Honor, Ji Zhongtang, had now become one of the greatest legends in Jianghu. Not only was it passed down by word of mouth, it was also made into a joke by countless busybodies and spread in various restaurants and teahouses. What interested everyone was how the enmity between the three would end.
But what made people feel helpless was that 10 years ago, Wang She revealed his identity in front of Ji Zhongtang and left with a cold smile. After that, the two of them seemed to have no more contact. Later on, when Zhou Bao and the others returned from the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, they fought all the way to the School of Five Virtues. In that process, Zhou Bao and Wang She displayed a power that no one could resist. As a result, the School of Five Virtues yielded, and the scene that others wanted to see did not play out.
The power of the four biggest sects expanded to two regions and did not force the Divine Wind Palace anymore. As the internal strife in the Divine Wind Palace subsided, a strange balance was formed between the four biggest sects and the Divine Wind Palace once again. It was a fragile and delicate balance that could be broken at any time, but no one knew when it would be broken.
In the past 10 years, the most significant events were the infiltration of the Infinite Star Sea's influences and the excavation of the Ancient Ruins. In the second year after the return from the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, a series of strange things happened in Jianghu and the martial arts world. Suddenly, talkative experts appeared, and even Individual Immortals and Genuine Immortals appeared. These strange people always appeared in inexplicable places, but they always caused a great commotion. In the beginning, the practitioners did not pay attention to them. Until one time, a Level Nine expert was accidentally attracted by a strange energy wave on a nearby mountain. He ran over and found a seriously injured practitioner. This practitioner was dressed strangely and was seriously injured. He actually wanted to take over the expert's body and be reborn. In the end, he failed because his spirit was badly injured. But the Level Nine expert absorbed part of his memory, and a big secret was revealed.
It turned out that these practitioners actually entered the Heaven Realm World from the Infinite Star Sea. When the four biggest sects of the Four Eastern Regions entered the Infinite Star Sea to explore and returned in failure, they also attracted the attention of the practitioners in the Infinite Star Sea. Behind the Infinite Star Sea were the forces of the Milky Way Star Area and the Purple Scorpion Star Area, a total of 14 macro worlds.
These macro worlds had been handed down from antiquity times to the present. Unlike the Heaven Realm World, which had lost several generations of inheritance, the inheritance of these macro worlds continued. They were very clear about some secrets of antiquity times. Just like the guy who was possessed by the Devil Fetus knew the location of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, these people knew many secrets of the Heaven Realm like the back of their hands. There were even many sects whose origins were in the Heaven Realm World.
Therefore, after discovering the secrets of the Heaven Realm World, the higher-ups of the powerful sects in these macro worlds began to spare no effort to find traces of the Heaven Realm World, which had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years. Finally, they found some clues in the Infinite Star Sea. Based on the two destroyed Transmitting Formations, although they did not calculate the specific location of the Heaven Realm World, they accidentally repaired one of the Transmitting Formations and modified it into a one-way forced Transmitting Formation.
What was called a one-way forced Transmitting Formation? It meant that the practitioners in the Infinite Star Sea did not need another corresponding formation in the Heaven Realm World. They could directly use the Law of Space to forcibly transmit the practitioners in the Infinite Star Sea to the Heaven Realm World. This method was very dangerous, and it could even be said to be a road of no return.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to do this.
However, it did not matter. In these two Star Areas, the higher-ups of the 14 macro worlds thought of several ways to carry out a high reward. While offering a high reward, they also provided some secrets of the Ancient Ruins passed down from the ancient sects and schools. In the endless space-time maze of the Heaven Realm World, there were countless inheritances of the antiquity times of the antiquity times. As long as one obtained one of them, one's strength would be greatly enhanced. It was precisely because of these reasons that it attracted the attention of practitioners who had difficulty in advancing their cultivation. At the same time, they also thought of an extremely deceptive method. There were a large number of practitioners in the 14 macro worlds, and the number of practitioners was countless times that of the Seven-deity Regions. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. In these 14 macro worlds, there are many birds that are bad for the flock, and they are chased by many parties. There are also many scum. For these people, the higher-ups tacitly allowed them to enter the Transmitting Formation and jointly guaranteed that as long as they entered the Transmitting Formation and could come back safely, all their previous crimes would be forgiven. Even if they raped the most beloved daughters of the 14 macro worlds' supreme leaders at the same time, it would be all right. Therefore, a considerable number of desperate bastards chose this path and entered the Heaven Realm World.
The Level Nine expert was a subordinate of the Dragon Thunder Palace. He understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately reported it to the Dragon Thunder Palace. Thunder Dragon Venerable did not dare to be negligent and immediately informed the other four biggest sects.
In a sense, this incident gave Divine Cloud a chance to breathe and regain his foothold. From then on, the five biggest sects began to work together to kill the practitioners from the Infinite Star Sea.
In the beginning, the strangulation policy was very obvious and very good. But soon, everyone found that there were too many practitioners from the Infinite Star Sea and the Transmitting Formation sent them to the Seven-deity Regions at random. This made it very difficult to find new infiltrators. Most importantly, because these infiltrators knew many secrets of the Heaven Realm, most of the places where they appeared were places with the inheritance of ancient sects. The value of the Ancient Ruins of those ancient sects was obviously far greater than the value of these infiltrators. Soon, the strangulation policy changed into a treasure digging operation. After a Genuine Immortal of the Divine Wind Palace found two Pure Yang Celestial Devices and a broken fairy weapon in an Ancient Ruins, this kind of ancestral grave digging operation immediately spread throughout the Seven-deity Regions. For the practitioners who snuck in from the Infinite Star Sea, they no longer focused on strangulation. Instead, they focused on capturing them. After capturing them, they would interrogate them about the secrets of the Ancient Ruins. Within a short period of 10 years, the number of Ancient Ruins that had been excavated had reached 23. Seven of them were useless, while the other 16 had Pure Yang Celestial Devices, Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, and other items, as well as many Spiritual Stones, medicinal herbs, and other Mysterious Objects that had long been extinct in the present world. This kind of excavation operation reached its climax when the Child-endowing Buddha of the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple found a huge herb garden and a fairy weapon in the ruins of an ancient sect.
A fairy weapon, a complete fairy weapon! Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of the most unscrupulous monk of the Bigwheel Temple, which really made people envious. Thus, it led to the largest ancestral grave digging operation in the history of the Heaven Realm.
Although it was somewhat immoral, the harvest was quite great. At least the several biggest sects in the Seven-deity Regions had more or less acquired one or two fairy weapons and several Pure Yang Celestial Devices, as well as countless Spiritual Medicines and Spiritual Stones. Within 10 years, the entire Seven-deity Regions seemed to have returned to the medieval period.
However, after 10 years, the craze gradually cooled down, and the situation of the practitioners in the Four Eastern Regions had greatly changed.
Many high-level practitioners who were not from the five biggest sects had emerged in large numbers. From Level Seven experts to Individual Immortals, the five biggest sects could no longer monopolize them. One reason for this situation was that Zhou Bao had maliciously leaked the prescriptions of the elixirs, which made it possible for ordinary people in the martial arts world to become experts. Ten years ago, young experts like Zhou Bao and Ji Yeyue had caused a sensation in the Central Mainland Region. But now, in the Jin of the Central Mainland Region alone, there were more than 50 young experts emerging, and the number of young experts had increased by hundreds. Correspondingly, the prices of the medicinal herbs used in the Bone-Forging Pill, Tendon-Changing Pill, Blood-Exchanging Pill, and Marrow-Cleansing Pill had soared. The medicinal herbs market in the Seven-deity Regions was in chaos. As for Anyuan Store, it had long stocked up a large number of medicinal herbs and made a huge profit. Moreover, with the support of Zhou Bao's Azure Big World, these low-grade medicinal herbs could be said to be endless for Zhou Bao. However, there was a limit to everything. If there was gold everywhere, gold would be worthless. Therefore, Zhou Bao did not openly supply these medicinal herbs.
Ten years passed in a flash. Compared with the Seven-deity Regions ten years ago, the Seven-deity Regions had changed a lot and were no longer the same as before.
