"Now. I'm much more interested in your tribe!"
Zhou Bao stared at Ma Linglong. In his opinion, they were really strange because they knew his secrets, which was no detriment for the negotiation. However, Zhou Bao thought that she was not lying to him. This tribe, as what she had said, would not give secrets away even if they knew them. Moreover, Zhou Bao doubted that they would forget the secrets in a short time. Otherwise, this tribe would have been annihilated and no members would be alive. Such an ability, which was superior to the Fiery Eyes, surely brought fear to others.
As expected, seeing Zhou Bao's face, Ma Linglong also showed an eccentric expression."It's not interesting. Our tribe can easily perceive other's secrets. The deeper their secrets are, the clearer they are to us. But there're big limits to our ability. We can't tell others the secrets. Even though other people use the Soul Searching skill, they can't know the secrets we know. What's more, we only know your secrets when we face you. Once you're out of our sight, our memory about your secrets will disappear!"
"Though many limits, it's a truly funny ability, especially in a negotiation!"
"Yes. That's the reason why the old guy let me come here. He hates negotiations!"
"Well. What can I do for the Fifth Manor?"
"I've no idea. They are not in front of me!"
"You want me to go to the Fifth Manor and negotiate with them?"
"There're many good things in that sect. Many treasures beyond your imagination. You won't suffer a loss there!"
"It's not about the loss. You must know the last thing I want is to make trouble. No matter how many benefits I get, I'll be caught into troubles regardless. I don't want to see them and I don't want to do it."
Nowadays, Zhou Bao really did not want to cause any trouble at all. In his heart, he was a homeboy. In the past, he devoted himself to practicing because he was not capable enough. Now that he had a strong capability, plus the Supreme Fairy Weapon and Azure Big World which could protect him and prevented others from bringing him trouble. Besides, he also had a long life. Such being the case, he did not have a reason to mess with so many dangerous people.
Of course, he understood that he had been involved in it, so it would be hard to get out. What he could do now was to protect himself from being trapped. That was his only chance.
"Perhaps after you arrive at the Fifth Manor, you can get answers to your questions. Let's say your background, why you're here, the Fierce Owl's background and the Vast Sea Emperor's purpose!"
"I really don't understand why your tribe is still alive today!" Seeing Ma Linglong, Zhou Bao was suppressing his impulse to wring her neck. She was a horrible person. Her eyes seemed to see through everything. One's secrets in the deepest of the heart would be exposed accidentally.
"As I just told you, our tribe has great limitations. Even if I know all the secrets, I can't disclose them. Even a Celestial Immortal can't get the secrets from us!" Ma Linglong said with great confidence."Of course, in the past, some people did not believe us and directly killed our clansmen!"
"Understandable!" Zhou Bao's mouth corner moved slightly.
"Well then, do you believe me?"
"Believe it or not, I wouldn't kill you now. The Fifth Manor at the Longevity Mountain is so famous!" Zhou Bao sighed softly. He had heard this name in his previous life. He had never expected that such a place also existed in this world.
At first, when Zhou Bao heard it, he was very intrigued. Hence, after his successful practice, he hoped to visit the Longevity Mountain. However, he had never had a chance. This time, he was lucky because he had an opportunity to come to the Longevity Mountain and visit the mysterious sect.
"But I don't know whether the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, the Immortal Zhen Yuan is at the Fifth Manor, and the legendary ginseng fruit tree!" Zhou Bao thought in his mind.
"The Fifth Manor at the Longevity Mountain was established by the Immortal Zhen Yuan! The ginseng fruit tree is also in the yard!" Ma Linglong said when he was still thinking. However, Ma Linglong also showed a weird face."The world in your previous life is really strange!"
Again, Zhou Bao clutched his fists and controlled his impulse of hitting her to death.
The Fifth Manor at the Longevity Mountain.
It's located in the Three Western Regions, ten thousand miles away from the Central Mainland Region. The distance was like a small river in front of Zhou Bao though. Although he could come to the Longevity Mountain, he could not enter it. He could only stand at the foot of the mountain. Watching the fairyland and the stone stele which was inscribed with its name. Zhou Bao was suddenly lost in it as if he went back to his previous life in which he had been extremely excited when he had watched A Journey to the West.
"Longevity Mountain, Longevity Mountain. I'm at the Longevity Mountain!"
"Let's go inside. Longevity Mountain is special. We can only reach the mountaintop by foot. It's about a hundred miles long!" Ma Linglong heaved a sigh aside. She hated it more than him.
Zhou Bao laughed and followed her. One would probably take a lot of time crossing the long road. However, he would not feel tired. Based on his physical status, he would not be exhausted even if he walked in the rest of his life.
After a long way, they arrived at the destination: the legendary Fifth Manor.
It was a Taoist temple of primitive simplicity. The whole temple looked like it had been built up with black rocks. When they walked inside, the gate was already open. A delicate Junior Taoist Attendant, about 13 years old, stood at the gate with a warm smile.
"I'm Qing Feng. Welcome King Wuyang, you have my respect!"
"Qing Feng!" Zhou Bao grinned. He dared to accept his respect."I don't deserve this. I'm Zhou Bao. Please accept my respect to you. Pardon me for offending you in the past!"
"King Wuyang thinks too much. Actually, there're no secrets at the Longevity Mountain. Our master likes peace and quietness, so he set up the inhibition. Sorry about that!"
With an exchange of greetings between them, they entered the Fifth Manor.
As well as the outside, the Fifth Manor's inside was like a very common Taoist temple. If there were two remarkable things about the temple, it would certainly be its huge size and flawless cleanness.
That was all.
The Taoist Attendant Qing Feng guided Zhou Bao and Ma Linglong to the meditation chamber and arranged them to have a seat. Tea and fruit were served on the table. Certainly, Zhou Bao's expectation—the ginseng fruit—was not prepared.
Ma Linglong seemed to feel Zhou Bao's idea through the telepathic connection, so she curled her lip and gave him a severe kick.
After the three sat at the table, Ma Linglong's face changed again. She took on a queer expression.
"What's wrong, Linglong? Won't our negotiation be successful?" Seeing Ma Linglong's face change, Qing Feng was suddenly surprised.
"No. I just had a strange feeling!" Ma Linglong answered.
"Aha!" Qing Feng smiled and turned his head to Zhou Bao."This time we invited King Wuyang here to ask a favor of you. Please don't take it amiss!"
"My pleasure. It's my honor to have your invitation!" Zhou Bao immediately replied."Now that I'm here. What can I do for you?"
"It's not a big deal. You know, many changes have happened to the Heaven Realm World recently. That has influenced our Longevity Mountain. Some people in the Heaven Realm World are actually from the Alien Realm. They sometimes come here and hang around the Longevity Mountain. It's really troublesome!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhou Bao asked curiously. He had once seen the formidable inhibition of the Longevity Mountain. Even the Immortals could not enter without permission. Did those of Earthly Immortals from the Alien Realm manage to slip inside? Were they so rampant?
"The Fifth Manor at the Longevity Mountain has existed in the Heaven Realm World since the antiquity times. But it's never interfered with the Heaven Realm affairs and the running of it. We are at peace with the world. Despite all this, many people still try to bother us. We don't care about them. But there is one really troublesome thing!" Speaking of it, Taoist Attendant Qing Feng laughed bitterly."We once had an enemy. Our inhibition can trap others, but not him. His cultivation is at the Earthly Immortal Level. Even if his body can't come here, he has eight incarnations. We have news that one of his incarnations has come to the Heaven Realm World secretly. His goal is our Longevity Mountain!"
"According to the Master's capability, he can handle an incarnation anytime!" Hearing Qing Feng's words, Zhou Bao was more cautious. It was hard to know the Taoist Attendant Qing Feng's high cultivation. He looked only 13 or 14 years old. Nobody knew his age. Although he was strong, he feared the enemy's incarnation. Apparently, the incarnation's strength was not something to take lightly. He had to be careful to avoid being caught in this.
"Originally, we didn't pay much attention to it. But now we have a problem. Frankly speaking, my junior brother and I are preparing to break through the Earthly Immortal Realm, so we're now at a critical stage. It's not good for us to be involved in the trouble! However, in this Heaven Realm World, only you can defeat that person's incarnation, so—"
