"To consult with me!"
These words were totally beyond Zhou Bao's expectation.
Although he was now in Administrator Zhang's Self-world, he was undoubtedly in an invincible position at this moment.
This Fatty Blue had a cultivation at the Lord of Heaven Realm and was a demon practitioner born with infinite strength. However, according to Zhou Bao's estimation, although he was an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven like Hong Taihe, 10 Hong Taihes added together would still be no match for him. Furthermore, this was under the condition that he didn't employ his Self-world. If he did use his Self-world, no matter how many Hong Taihes came to fight him, they would only meet a dead end. After all, the power of the Icy Divine Light was really terrifying.
Not everyone ran around with fairy weapons on them like Zhou Bao did.
Similarly, it was precisely because Zhou Bao carried fairy weapons that Administrator Zhang could do nothing to him.
He was just a Lord of Heaven, a Ghost Immortal. In other words, he had not yet reached the realm of the Human Immortal, so he was unable to resist fairy weapons.
Even if Zhou Bao was unable to fully operate the fairy weapons he had due to the limitation of his own cultivation, he might still have a chance, just like what had happened in the Dragon-taming Ruins. At the time, although he had employed the Furnace of Immortality, he was almost caught by Yu Taixu from another space. This was the reason he had almost been captured. He was unable to exert all of the fairy weapon's power. However now, even though the Green Bamboo Stick in his hand was still one level higher than the Furnace of Immortality, he was able to fully exert its power and completely control Administrator Zhan's Self-world, making a mess of it. Thus, Administrator Zhang had no choice but to give in. He hoped to consult with Zhou Bao instead.
However, could such a thing be able to consult?
Zhou Bao was busy absorbing the Icy Divine Light and not paying attention to Administrator Zhang.
Feeling that he had not been sincere enough to tempt Zhou Bao, Administrator Zhang took a deep breath and said, "The Icy Divine Light is very important to me. Please show mercy to me!"
"Haha, interesting. We seem to be enemies. Besides, your Icy Divine Light is also essential for me. Why should I leave it for you?"
"The Icy Divine Light is indeed mysterious, but I don't think you can absorb so much!" Fatty Blue seemed to realize something and added gently, "The Icy Divine Light you have absorbed should be enough for you. Even if you absorbed all the Icy Divine Light in my Self-world, I'm afraid it wouldn't do much more good to you than it does now!"
"Then, what do you want to exchange for my remaining benefits?" Zhou Bao smiled gently, without stopping his absorption of the Icy Divine Light. Obviously, he wouldn't discard his remaining benefits without some incentives. He held the upper hand. If Administrator Zhang wanted to consult with him, he should offer him some practical benefits. Otherwise, who would pay heed to him?
"I'll offer you the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. I know that you came to the Desolate Sea Area for the palace, and even for the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. But I'll tell you now that it's impossible for you to obtain the treasures inside the abode, be it the Pool of Thunder Tribulation or anything else!"
"I've seen the strength of your Sea Area. You're right. With their strength, it's impossible for them to get any benefit from the abode or even to leave unscathed unless they have a trump card. However, what does this have to do with me?"
Zhou Bao didn't care about other people's lives. Furthermore, although he was in Administrator Zhang's Self-world, what was happening outside simply could not be hidden from him. Yu Taixu and the others could not resist the attacks and had run away. Evidently, they had abandoned him. In this case, he didn't have to worry about them.
"It seems that your relationships with them are not very good!"
"Nonsense! My relationships with them are excellent!" Zhou Bao grinned and continued, "Don't beat around the bush with me. Just say what are you going to exchange!"
"The Pool of Thunder Tribulation!"
"What? The Pool of Thunder Tribulation? Hahaha, do you think I believe you?" If Administrator Zhang had said anything else, Zhou Bao might have believed him.
The Pool of Thunder Tribulation was really too precious. It was even more valuable than the Icy Divine Light. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Sea Area was the strongest among all the influences and had the upper hand. Neither the Four Eastern Regions nor the Three Western Regions could compete with it. Therefore, there was a 60 to 70 percent possibility the Pool of Thunder Tribulation would fall into the hands of the Sea Area. Now the other party was saying it would abandon the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Naturally, Zhou Bao didn't believe him.
"Don't you think that the Pool of Thunder Tribulation will eventually fall into our hands?" Administrator Zhang gave a wry smile as if he knew what was going through Zhou Bao's mind."The matter related to the Thunder Emperor's touring abode is quite important. It's only because it happened in my territory that I get to handle it. How could such a treasure fall into my hands?"
"Since it won't fall into your hands, you're going to use it to make a deal with me?"
"Yes. This is the Sea Area. Even if you obtained it, you would not be able to take it away. The Prime Ministers will definitely take action and even His Majesty too. Once the Celestial Emperor takes action, you'll have no opportunity to obtain it at all!"
"In that case, how can you help us?"
"I surely have my ways!" Administrator Zhang said, "however, I can't guarantee you a complete success. But at least I can make your competition go smoothly. My subordinates will help you to hinder the other's movements. In this way, you can snatch treasures with no worries. As for whether you can leave the Sea Area or not in the end, it depends on your luck!"
"Oh? That's a good idea, but how can I trust you? You are a powerful Lord of Heaven in the Sea Area. If you break your promise...!"
"I will make the Great Vow of the Heart Demon and promise that I will not expose you. Neither will I put you in an awkward situation nor retaliate against you in the future!" Administrator Zhang said hurriedly.
By now, Zhou Bao had already figured out that compared to all the treasures in the Thunder Emperor's touring abode and even the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, the Icy Divine Light was the most important thing to Administrator Zhang.
"Well, make the vow right now. I will come out once you do and leave some Icy Divine Light to you!" said Zhou Bao.
"Okay, I'll do it now!" Immediately, Administrator Zhang made the vow in front of Zhou Bao.
The Great Vow of the Heart Demon was widely spread in this world. It was the most impossible vow to break. It had a very fixed format. Fatty Blue only needed to change some of its content in order to make a vow.
Zhou Bao did not have a desire to put up a desperate fight. After listening to the vow, he jumped out of the Self-world.
Seeing Zhou Bao come out and feeling the Icy Divine Light, which had become extremely thin but still existed in his Self-world, Administrator Zhang breathed a sigh of relief."Thank you for your mercy!"
"No need to thank me. We just take what we need. All right, since this is your territory, what do you think we should do next?"
"I'm afraid you'll be treated poorly for a period of time to pretend you're my subordinate. Wait till the Thunder Emperor's touring abode opens, you can enter it directly. When people begin to snatch treasures, I'll have my subordinates attack other people and you just have to go and obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!" Looking at Zhou Bao's extremely young face, Administrator Zhang sighed deeply. Even if Zhou Bao's two lifetimes and the days when he operated the Wheel of Time in Azure Heaven were added up, he was still less than 100 years old. He himself was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. He was well aware of the ways of the world and had seen many things. The reason he was still alive today was that apart from possessing an unmeasurable strength, he still had an eye for the situation. Since he was defeated today, he'd better throw in the towel. Otherwise, if he really provoked Zhou Bao, even if both of them weren't wounded severely, once he lost his Icy Divine Light, his strength would be badly damaged. That meant he could lose his status in the Sea Area. This was something he could not tolerate in any case.
Relatively speaking, for him, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was merely a flower in the mirror and the moon in water. It was visible but unavailable and thus no big deal to him. He would be quite fortunate if he obtained it, but if he failed to acquire it, he could only sigh. It would be a great misfortune if he damaged his foundation for it.
Anyway, he had been an invincible being in the Sea Area for many years and naturally had some means. In a very short period of time, he helped Zhou Bao to obtain the identity of a personal bodyguard.
Given his strength, personal bodyguards were irrelevant to him. However, as a senior officer in the sea, it would be shameful if he didn't go in for pomp. In fact, personal guards, to a great extent, played the role of secretaries.
Administrator Zhang had a total of eight personal bodyguards. Under his guidance, Zhou Bao secretly controlled one of them. By using a unique illusion skill, Administrator Zhang made him look like this bodyguard. Everything was settled. The only remaining thing was to wait for the Thunder Emperor's touring abode to be opened.
For the sake of convenience, Administrator Zhang and other people all lived in Young Master An's Crystal Palace.
Although it was an extremely remote place, Young Master An was, after all, a Pacification Officer in this area and still had great power. Therefore, the Crystal Palace was also extremely luxurious. It didn't even pale in comparison with the Crystal Palace of the Rolling Dragon King in the Five-dragon Regions. Of course, the most distinctive thing in the palace was the beauties flitting about the crowd.
Seeing everything in front of him, Zhou Bao almost started to shout and curse.
Imperial Harem, this was the legendary Imperial Harem. Looking at all the creatures in the Crystal Palace, except for Young Master An, all the other creatures were female. This caused Zhou Bao to blush with shame.
Seeing Young Master An greet them in a loud voice, as if he was very proud of this, Zhou Bao was extremely jealous!
He wanted to kick Young Master An in the face and tread on it mercilessly!
