Chapter 395: Divine Wind Palace and Yu Taixu

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Penglai Region,

Taihua Holy Mountain.

The main peak of this tremendous mountain range sitting in the far east of the Penglai Region was so high up that it almost connected the sky with the earth. A vast palace stood there, partly hidden and partly visible at times, amidst the mist and clouds, stretching for more than 3,000 miles. It seemed to cover the sun in the sky, with its winding corridors meandering like ribbons and high eaves pointing skywards like the bills of birds; each of the structures possessed its own vantage ground, but they were all ingeniously interconnected, one built against another. It was truly a magnificent view. Among all the buildings, the main hall placed on the summit was about 1,000 feet high, seemingly suspended on the mountaintop and sending forth a boundless Qi Power. Hanging on the front door of the main hall was a glittering golden signboard, on which were inscribed these golden characters -Divine Wind Palace. Everything there was so majestic and solemn, wearing an air of overbearing dignity.

This was the strongest sect in the world, a sect passing down for 100,000 years—the Divine Wind Palace!

“Bastard, this bastard! How bold, how bold he is!”

The furious curses rang out repeatedly and reverberated through the entire hall. There was a quiet room in the side wing, whose length, width and height were all similarly about 90 feet. In this quiet room sat a man dressed in a golden robe, who was wearing a high hat and a wide belt. This man was about 40-years-old, wearing the Violet Gold Cap and the Cloud-flying Boots as well as a set of gold elegant garments, giving him an air of royal magnificence.

No. It should be said that the Qi Power revealed by this old man far surpassed that of an emperor. His majesty and honor were several times greater than that of an emperor’s. Even when Yan Yuntian of the Jin came in front of him, the only thing Yan Yuntian could do was to prostrate himself in respect and did not even have the nerve to overstep his authority.

A man like this must have an open mind as wide as the sea and an in depth aptitude as profound as a bottomless abyss. Every moment of his was wrought with extraordinary meanings, and his emotions were kept tightly in check and could not be displayed blatantly.

But right now, indignation was written all over his face; his bad mood was vented through his mouth; the jade table in front of him had already been smashed into smithereens. Even the servants standing next to him, whose cultivation had all reached the Realm of True Immortality, were thoroughly devastated by this man’s show of rage!

“Motherf*cker, truly a motherf*cker!” He barked in fury. It could be due to his genteel education, or because he was unwilling to reduce himself to the lowest level, but this middle-aged man who was in the throes of such fury limited himself to using choice swear words only like “motherf*cker” and “bastard”. He barked out those words over and over again. If it had been Zhou Bao, a country bumpkin who had little or no patience at all, his style of cursing would have been to condemn his entire family line to hell and back.

“My Lord, please calm down, control your anger!” He finally fell silent, probably due to running out of steam and his servant heaved a sigh of relief and cautioned him to control his anger”

“Control my anger?” This man’s eyes razed over the four servants with the cultivation of True Immortality. His expression changed and he abruptly swished the sleeve of his golden robe.

Swish!

Suffused with endless killing intent, a jet of fierce golden light flashed. Without any doubt, the four Genuine Immortals were blown to smithereens by this sleeve swing. Both their bodies and spirits were no longer in existence.

After taking several deep breaths, he calmed down. And his furious expression was gradually replaced by a composed one. He now appeared calm and placid. His eyes appeared to be fathomlessly deep pools. Once again, his appearance and Qi Power became inscrutable.

“Yu Huntian, come in!”

With another sleeve swing, the middle-aged man removed the last vestiges of the four Genuine Immortals and returned to the big golden chair.

Then there came the sound of footsteps. A muscular figure appeared at the door of the quiet room. He was a sturdy man with a calm and steady look, and he carried himself well with an impressive stature.

“I, Yu Huntian, pay tribute to the lord. Please let me know what your commands are!” After entering the quiet room, Yu Huntian prostrated himself before that man.

“Ma Wulong is dead, and you need to find me another necromancer!”

“Yes!” A flash of astonishment flickered across Yu Huntian’s face, which was bowed to show his subservience. However, he remained expressionless. He gave his response and withdrew from the quiet room.

Before the door of the quiet room could close, suddenly six beams of light came swirling downwards and landed right in front of the door, which then turned into six figures.

“Is our lord here?”

These six men did not have any special Qi Power, but there was a mysterious energy psywave swirling around them. This energy psywave was faintly discernible, which gave the six men an ethereal air as well. Standing beside them, even Yu Huntian was staring at them as if they were certain intangible illusions.

Suddenly aware that a question was asked, Yu Huntian answered hastily, “Yes, he is in the hall!”

“OK!” The man who had asked the question nodded slightly and pushed open the door of the silence room without knocking.

“Lord, the six of us are here!”

“You six Highest Elders must have already been informed about the issue of the Dragon-taming Ruins, haven’t you?”

“It’s such a big issue, how could we not hear of it? We’ve made plans for this Dragon-taming Ruins for over 50,000 years. Until recently we’ve been very hopeful about the outcome. There is no way we will give up now!”

“Of course, we definitely won’t give up. Ma Wulong’s death is not important because there are many other necromancers in the world. Anyway, we’ve settled the worst part, and now all we need to do is to find another necromancer!”

“You have a point, but we can’t just let this matter rest. Have you found who the culprit is, yet?”

“The man who did this is equipped with a magic weapon. Since he was enclosed in the mysterious light of his magic weapon, I could not catch a clear glimpse of his appearance. But this doesn’t matter. Only a few people in this world have magic weapons. It would be a piece of cake to find out who that person is!”

“Magic weapon? Who could have a magic weapon other than those few sects? Could it be one of those few sects?”

“That is highly possible!”

“If so, we are in serious trouble. If they know we’ve found the Dragon-taming Ruins and seek to usurp this worldly dragon vein, the pressure we’ll face will be immense!” said the leading Highest Elder, his brows furrowing. “The matter of the Azure Secret Area is still bothering us. Together with all these stuff, we do have some problems!”

“That is no big deal. Even if it is done by those other sects, it won’t matter because they don’t have any evidence. Maybe this thing will turn out well for us. That man might have discovered the seal of the dragon vein by chance and walked into the Dragon-taming Ruins along the formation. He doesn’t actually know where the exact location of the Dragon-taming Ruins, and now it has slipped into the spacial turbulences. Anyway, it will be a difficult task for him to return to the present world. As long as we take immediate action, perhaps we can find the place of Nine Dragons convergence. After that, we can naturally deduce who he is, which sect he belongs, and then deploy secret troops to hunt him down. Once he reveals himself, we will kill him using powerful forces!”

“Such being the case, that’s the only plausible solution we have!” The Highest Elder sighed and went on, “Lord, this issue may be the result of an accident, but we still need an explanation for it. Otherwise, it will be unacceptable. You know what I mean?”

The lord of Divine Wind Palace was startled, and a hint of rage flitted across his face. Then, he said with a sigh, “Fine, I see. I’ll give you an explanation!”

“Great, then we shall wait for your explanation, my Lord!” The six Highest Elders then simultaneously turned into six streams of light and took off from the quiet room.

After they left, the lord of Divine Wind Palace looked even more sullen than before. With a flick of his sleeve, a layer of faintly discernible inhibition started filling up the quiet room.

“What a bunch of old bastards! Explanation? If it hadn’t been you who stirred up so many problems, I would not have to deal with these tricky problems? Why do they need to ask me for an explanation! Damn! Humph, one day, I, Yu Taixu, will give you each an explanation for your death!”

…

…

“Darn it!” yelled Zhou Bao, who had nearly died from the sudden hand attack. But at the very last moment, he managed to shake off the attack with the power of his Furnace of Immortality and was carried off into the spacial turbulences.

However, this time he allowed himself to be drawn into the spacial turbulences with a purpose in mind.

Because when that huge hand tore the space apart and collided with the magic weapon, the surrounding space was ripped into fragments by this vast force, and this turned out to be an opportunity for Zhou Bao to survive.

Zhou Bao experienced the same feeling as the one he had at the opening of Taiyuan Heaven. Once again, he detected the overcast space deep down in that space-time. This time it was more discernible than the last time, and the route was easy to make out as well. With the protection of his magic weapon, Zhou Bao rushed into spacial turbulences without a second thought and started traveling along the route based on his past recollection and also with the help of his spiritual mind.

Traveling in the hollow space was an extremely difficult task.

If Zhou Bao did not have a magic weapon with him for protection, he would have long been ripped apart many times by the endless spacial turbulences.

“Big loss this time, I really suffered a big loss! Injured so badly by that damn guy. What on earth could his background be? How come he has such an invincible power? Is he a mere human? No, it can’t be. Given that he managed to penetrate through layers of the hollow with his own strength, confronted my magic weapon and even attempted to take it away, he cannot be any ordinary man, Sage or Venerable as they’ll never be able to do this! Could he be a Human Immortal?” Thinking about this possibility, Zhou Bao gave a shudder and felt shivers run down down his spine.

“This eccentric place is discovered by Divine Wind Palace, and this man surnamed Ma also works for the Divine Wind Palace. Could that guy be a chief or something of the Divine Wind Palace? Maybe the lord of it? No way it could be just a mere exaggeration!”

As he was mulling over this, the space around him suddenly started to vibrate. As if sensing a telepathic connection, Zhou Bao’s spiritual mind started to form increasingly close ties with the overcast space, while his Furnace of Immortality seemed to slow down and was not as swift as it had been previously. The space around him also became invariably stagnant. Waves of spacial fluctuation rolled all over the place, like intangible barriers, blocking his way.

“I’m almost there!” Zhou Bao felt his spirits lift as a trace of insight flitted across his mind. Instantly, nine of his acupoints started pulsating at the same time, while his Real Essence merged with the Furnace of Immortality like surging torrents of water. The Furnace of Immortality immediately released a stream of blazing golden light and a shadow of a skull appeared and in one earthshaking quake, the surrounding spacial barriers fell into pieces.

After the golden light flickered once more, the Furnace of Immortality entered into the overcast space, together with Zhou Bao wrapped in it.
