Resplendent lights flashed in the boundless hollow. They were star lights that converged into one endless stream, reaching through the entire hollow.
In this stream, innumerable vast planets formed galaxy after galaxy; and macro worlds surrounded by endless space and time.
That's right, macro worlds. Among the huge galaxies made up of countless small galaxies were dozens of macro worlds.
The Celestial Primordial World.
The Innate World.
The Martial Thunder World.
The Celestial Dragon World.
The Myriad Illusions World.
The Majestic Treasure World.
The Carefree World.
The Pure Land World.
The Green Hill World.
In the depths of the starry river was the Void Palace.
The palace towered majestically in the center of the starry river. Rays of light moved around it, forming the names of each large world, one after the other. With each name a formidable practitioner appeared in the hall. Within a short time, 23 formidable practitioners had been cultivated to the Immortal level.
"My Lords, it's been a while since we have last met!"
After the last ray of light appeared, there was a feeling of change in the air as voices resounded in the hall. The entire crowd of Immortal level practitioners bowed towards the center of the hall."Hail, Divine Realm Lord!"
"Perhaps everyone is aware of what has occurred in the Heaven Realm!" The Divine Realm Lord had not come into view yet. The 23 lords of the macro worlds could only see a mass of purple light, which they had no problem with.
"We have all accepted the will of heaven. We know where all the macro worlds of the Heaven Realm are and have sent scouts to each one!" said the Celestial Dragon World respectfully. He was the tallest of the 23 lords, and on his head grew two dragon horns."It's just that the macro worlds of the Heaven Realm are located in the Desolate Ancient Star Area. Not only is it a long way, but we would have to travel through several great Star Areas. It's not easy to communicate across such a distance!"
"I'm aware of this. Hmph, the Desolate Ancient Star Area! The Jade Emperor really planned it well when he moved the Heaven Realm there and cut off our contact with the Void Immortal Realm. We have great skills, yet we cannot find the whereabouts of the Heaven Realm. I could not have imagined that, after 810, 000 years, someone could just cut off the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm. We know the location of the Heaven Realm, but it seems fate has scuppered our plans!"
"That's right. Man proposes but heaven disposes, " a master lamented."It was because the Jade Emperor wanted to preserve the Heaven Realm, but it took a lot of effort!"
"No matter what, we can see a small trace of the macro worlds of the Heaven Realm so we need to act!" The mass of purple light, the lord of the Celestial Deity World, continued to speak, "No matter what, this Heaven Realm macro world is the most important of all the macro worlds, the only passageway for us to communicate with the Immortal Realm. The most important thing is that in the boundless time and space of the Heaven Realm macro worlds are precious properties left over from the gods of that era; Which are what I need most if I am to ascend to the realm of Earthly Immortals. So we cannot lose this chance, no matter what! Finding the Divine Palace from ancient times is our opportunity to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm!" He paused."What does everyone think?"
"Of course we should all work together!" called the 23 masters in unison. Their enormous collective willpower condensed to form a soaring pillar of light, splitting open the entire starry river and penetrating into the depths of the hollow.
"What is The Ancient Divine Palace again?"
Wuyang Region, the Central Mainland Region, the Seven-deity Regions, the Heaven Realm World.
Zhou Bao frowned slightly. He muttered to himself, thinking about what Yan Yunfei had said. The Ancient Divine Palace - this was the second time he had heard news from this place. The first time was from the Child-endowing Buddha. It seemed the Old Demon of Black Mountain from the Black Mountain World knew of the Ancient Divine Palace's location and secrets, so he had sent his own son, Hei Chou, to the Heaven Realm macro worlds to find out. He ended up in Zhou Bao's hands.
And now Yan Yunfei had revealed a clue about the Ancient Divine Palace. Could they be the same place; the Ancient Divine Palace she was talking about; the one Hei Chou knew about; and the one the Old Demon of Black Mountain was looking for?
Although it seemed slightly unimaginable, it was not impossible.
Actually, these had happened too close together in time. He could not help but associate them in his mind.
"Your father, the emperor, told you about the Ancient Divine Palace. Does anybody else know?"
"No. Father said that it was one of the things passed down to him when he inherited the candidacy of the Human Emperor."
Inherited the candidacy of the Human Emperor? Interesting. He was not the only candidate for Human Emperor and was not the only candidate to receive an inheritance. How come no one else had dug out the secrets of the Ancient Divine Palace? Zhou Bao thought to himself."Never mind, I'm not bothered about some Ancient Divine Palace inheritance. We live in exceptional times. I don't want to stir up trouble, and I don't want to deal with outside matters."
Zhou Bao thought carefully before saying, "Whether or not the matters of the Ancient Divine Palace are true, the Wuyang Region cannot get involved."
"Okay then." Yan Yunfei had nothing else to say. She had been married to Zhou Bao for so many years she knew his character inside out. Once he had made up his mind about something, no one could change it.
What was more, she had come to have a completely blind trust in him. She did not care about status, she cared only that their family was safe. It did not matter how much upheaval it caused, ultimately so long as Junior Leopard could keep his family safe, that was enough for her. She had turned her nose up at Yan Yuntian's Way of the Emperor for some time. His Way of the Emperor was so strong, so powerful and yet, in the end, hadn't he come to depend on Junior Leopard?
So when Zhou Bao said he did not want to bother with it, she just nodded her head and said nothing.
Zhou Bao sat at the stone table, knocking on it lightly as he watched her leave. His son and daughter were standing next to him and did not know how to react.
"Daddy, what are you thinking about?"
Zhou Mu saw that Zhou Bao was thinking, so he didn't dare say anything. But his daughter, Zhou Qing could not stand it. His so-called son had been raised in poverty, and his daughter raised in wealth. This little girl had been spoilt by Zhou Bao from an early age. She was not afraid of her dad at all. But while Zhou Bao was practicing and occupied with many things, he usually did not have much of a chance to guide their practice. It was okay now, but it was not easy for Zhou Bao to get the chance to show them how to practice. Zhou Bao stared blankly, how could he make her happy?
"Nothing. I just had something small on my mind, " he said, looking at his daughter who was already growing into an elegant young lady. He laughed."My Dinosaur, have you found a boyfriend yet to bring and show to your dad?"
Zhou Qing scowled. She lifted her leg and stamped violently on his foot. She snorted, turned around and walked away, ignoring him.
Seeing Zhou Qing turn a corner in the courtyard, Zhou Bao scowled and asked, "Eggie, is there anybody your sister has been rather close to recently?"
"Uh...!" Zhou Mu had lived under Zhou Qing's shadow since he was little. Hearing this question, the little darling suddenly jumped, lowered his head, and muttered something indiscernible.
"F*ck. She is only 13 years old. What has happened to my little girl?" As soon as he saw the look on Zhou Mu's face, Zhou Bao knew that it was not good. For a while, it felt like his head was swimming. Before, if Zhou Bao joked like this with Zhou Qing, she would not have acted like that. So when she left, he had a bad feeling. He looked at his son. He looked so immature, he felt like he could almost kick him.
"Speak! Who is it? What is going on?"
"Father, it's not as serious as you think. She's just taken a liking to someone, that's all. His name is Feng Xuan. I think he's from the old Wang family of the Northern Yuan. He has been wandering destitute in the prairies. He hasn't reached 17 yet, but already has a Level Six cultivation. He gained all his skills from fighting, but he's a decent person."
"From the old Wang family of the Northern Yuan?" Zhou Bao blinked."A Level Six master of martial arts. Only Level Six? The girl has always cared for experts, she could crush a Level Six boy with her little finger. Why is she so fond of this boy?"
Zhou Mu broke out in a sweat.
Although neither he nor Zhou Qing were very old, they were indeed at Level Eight peak cultivation. With a bit more effort they could break through to the ninth level. They were Zhou Bao's children, the offspring of the first evildoer since ancient times. They had been raised from a young age on all kinds of panaceas and practiced with the cultivation methods of the world's top players. Their success was not surprising. But Feng Xuan? Wandering the prairies since he was a child? No panaceas and no unique cultivation methods? A small child surviving numerous fights? It was a miracle he had reached a Level Six cultivation.
What was more, his cultivated strength was maybe no more than that of his older brothers and sisters. But fighting on the prairie since childhood would have given him an intrepid spirit, and he would be a match for any man. He was especially masculine, and this, frankly, was what his daughter found most attractive about him.
Zhou Bao rubbed his forehead."I don't have time to deal with this. Can you keep an eye on that boy for me, and make sure Dinosaur doesn't come to harm? You can have this fairy weapon. If there is any problem you cannot solve, you just need to give it a wave. I will receive the message telepathically come right over." He placed the Divine Wizard Mirror into Zhou Mu's hands.
"F... fairy weapon?" Zhou Mu looked down, stunned at the Divine Wizard Mirror in his hands. He did not think his father could be this generous, giving him a fairy weapon."Yes. Now, don't look so hopeless. Your sister's wellbeing depends on you. If you do something wrong and something happens to her, I will never forgive you!"
"Don't worry, father. As long as I'm around, nothing will happen, " Zhou Mu promised with excitement.
Raising a daughter was not easy!
