This was the place where the Master of Celestial Mystery of Divine Wind Palace had predicted that Wang She would cross the tribulation.

Divine Wind Palace had been passed down through tens of thousands of generations. It had been dominated for thousands of years by the Four Eastern Regions school, who had countless tricks and strategies. For Zhou Bao to destroy this leviathan was not an easy task at all. Even if he had the strength to fight a Human Immortal, he couldn't just kill them without putting too much thought to it first; he could only make small, surreptitious moves to slowly weaken their power.

Maybe it was because of his strength, or maybe it was due to luck, but everything Zhou Bao had done until now had gone through without a hitch. Even though there some twists and turns, he had not run into any severe difficulty or danger.

Because of this, Zhou Bao looked down on Divine Wind Palace.

But he did not know that inside Divine Wind Palace there were countless people, aside from the powerful masters, who for thousands of years had spared no effort in cultivating strange talents. These talents in antiquity times were called necromancers, and these necromancers had stopped their activities during those times. The necromancers cultivated now at Divine Wind Palace were naturally no match for those from antiquity times, but they still had many strange powers, as did the Master of Celestial Mystery.

Yu Taixu was the lord of Divine Wind Palace. It had been a daunting prospect for him to go personally to the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. Before he left he went to look for this Master of Celestial Mystery to get a prediction of how it would go. Unfortunately, at that time the Grand Design had been concealed by some mysterious force. The Master of Celestial Mystery could not foretell Yu Taixu's future, so he urged him to be careful. Yu Taixu had faith in his strength and he had his Supreme Fairy Weapon with him, so he didn't believe that he could come to any harm. If something bad should happen, he believed he could easily escape. So he didn't heed the warning from the Master of Celestial Mystery, but went resolutely ahead and perished as a result.

Yu Taixu's death had caused a huge uproar at Divine Wind Palace and even throughout the Seven-deity Regions. Of course, Divine Wind Palace could not do anything about it. Mr. Feng IX concluded it was an accident and summed it all up as due to Yu Taixu's misfortune. But in fact, it was a true tragedy. How could a guy from Divine Wind Palace be so naive?

The Master of Celestial Mystery did not predict anything about Zhou Bao, but he came to the conclusion that what Mr. Feng IX said had nine truths and one lie in it. If any part was untrue, which part was it? It was clear that he was hiding something. Could it be that he was the one who had killed Yu Taixu?

The Master of Celestial Mystery quickly ruled this out, so then what had really happened at the Thunder Emperor's touring abode?


This mystery of Yu Taixu's death was a source of frustration for the high levels of Divine Wind Palace, and they blamed Mr. Feng IX for it. This guy had clearly concealed the truth about Yu Taixu's death and given his version of it, but they had no way of forcing him to come clean. Feng IX was no ordinary person, he was the Highest Elder of Immortal Palace, an eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven with unspeakable strength. At Immortal Palace he had sublime status. With Divine Wind Palace's current strength it was unwise to fall out with Immortal Palace, so they had no choice but to go about the matter in another way.

But the Master of Celestial Mystery was also no ordinary man. He had figured out the intentions of all the men who had gone to the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. He didn't suspect any of them, but what about Zhou Bao?

He could not figure it out!

He could not make sense of Zhou Bao's behavior, so Divine Wind Palace could not make a judgment. Zhou Bao's strength exceeded that of Yu Taixu and Feng IX. The Master of Celestial Mystery noted that Zhou Bao's strength was much more than anyone had imagined, and also worked out that there were numerous untruths in what Mr. Feng IX said. The master considered Zhou Bao a suspect, but it was just a suspicion. The Master of Celestial Mystery reckoned that Yu Taixu died from trying to resist two Supreme Fairy Weapons. Because the loss to the Great Constellation Palace was so huge, the Supreme Fairy Weapon was no match for the suspect, and so he perished.

They also imagined at one point that the suspect who possessed the Supreme Fairy Weapon was Zhou Bao, but it was just speculation. Once Zhou Bao had come onto the scene they had his background checked thoroughly. Perhaps he was just a local born-and-bred guy from the Heaven Realm macro world who had just been lucky? This type of person, lucky as he may be, could never master a Supreme Fairy Weapon. Besides, the last time a Supreme Fairy Weapon was used in Divine Wind Palace, Zhou Bao had not been around. Therefore, in the end, Immortal Palace was the biggest suspect.

Immortal Palace!

This suspicion was unexpected, but after careful thinking, it was justifiable.

What was Immortal Palace like?

It was one of the five biggest sects in the Four Eastern Regions, with powers second only to Divine Wind Palace. Its Uniform Dao had been passed down from antiquity times. It had an immeasurably long history. A Supreme Fairy Weapon was hidden inside the palace, which even though was surprising, was not difficult to believe.

It was just pure speculation, but if it were true, it would explain many things.

How did Zhou Bao emerge so suddenly with such unimaginable powers? Previously, Divine Wind Palace believed that Zhou Bao had someone with greater powers supporting him, but they were clueless as to who this was. But when the secret relationship between Zhou Bao and Immortal Palace was exposed, Divine Wind Palace then had many more clues to go by. This Zhou Bao could have been secretly raised by Immortal Palace to deal with the weapons in the palace. This way, many of the unfathomable things that happened around Zhou Bao could then be explained.

Once it was explained, everything became very clear.

At last, after the elder had deduced everything, the whole matter became like a story. The reason was that Immortal Palace was dissatisfied with Divine Wind Palace having full domination over Heaven and Earth, so they raised Zhou Bao, a man of exceptional talent, and placed him where he could cause trouble. He provoked people and attracted a lot of attention which, intentionally or not, was directed to Divine Wind Palace. They waited until people stopped paying attention, and got to work eradicating the peripheral power of Divine Wind Palace and secretly killing their experts. He finally availed himself of the Supreme Fairy Weapon, and when it was least expected, in one fell swoop, overthrew the Lord of Divine Wind Palace. Although Mr. Feng IX did not kill Yu Taixu himself, his actions this entire time did not help him. But, he said that when Yu Taixu finally entered the boundless hollow at the Great Constellation Palace, how could he have just happened to come across another Supreme Fairy Weapon? The only credible explanation was that Mr. Feng IX was at work behind the scenes. He informed the suspects so that they would emerge at the Great Constellation Palace's weakest moment, and dealt them a fatal blow. Only this could explain things. If not, why would Feng IX keep to himself the reason he survived the showdown between the two Supreme Fairy Weapons, and when he finally did give a reason why did it sound so dubious?

Now the truth was clear!

But even though it was clear, it could not be revealed!

Because they had no proof, they were only speculating, and the speculation was made by the Master of Celestial Mystery, so it was ill-advised to make it public.

Ordinarily, they would not care whether they had proof or not, they could just come straight out with it. But it was no longer like the old days. Even though Divine Wind Palace was a powerful sect of the Four Eastern Regions and they had many strategies they could employ, when compared to yesteryears, their power was declining, and they did not have the absolute superiority they had before. What was more, if it truly was Immortal Palace who had done all this, then they was really more powerful than they had previously imagined.

Under these circumstances, having an all out war with Immortal Palace would not be good for Divine Wind Palace. If anything else, it would merely spur Immortal Palace to action. The fact of the matter was, that once the Supreme Fairy Weapon was used, what could Divine Wind Palace do?

Therefore, Divine Wind Palace had to hold themselves back; they could not go all out to attack.

Since you stabbed me in the back, so I'll stab you back too.

Zhou Bao was raised by you. Although initially, it was to attract our attention, he has since grown and not only holds a high position at your Immortal Palace, but he has strong combat capabilities and is your ace card. And it is a most powerful card. If I were to destroy this card of yours, I think you would regret it for quite a while, right?

But this Zhou Bao was not easy to understand, and he was carrying at least one fairy weapon, as well as several Pure Yang Celestial Devices. God knows how many more secrets he had. Killing him would not only cause serious trouble to Immortal Wind Palace, but would also mean one less general for them, which would be a good advantage for Divine Wind Palace.

But now that Zhou Bao has already come of age, it would not be that easy to get rid of him.

Therefore, Divine Wind Palace started plotting in secret, and asked the Master of Celestial Mystery to make a carefully thought-out calculation. They concluded that waiting for Zhou Bao to cross the Void Thunder Tribulation would be the best time to overcome him.

Because of Zhou Bao's current situation, crossing the Void Thunder Tribulation would surely be difficult. Even if he had the fairy weapon for protection, he would inevitably have a period of weakness, and this would be the best moment to strike.

But the hollow was so vast, how would they know where this guy was actually going to cross the Void Thunder Tribulation?

This was another problem.

But it was not difficult for Divine Wind Palace to deal with Zhou Bao. They had already investigated Zhou Bao so thoroughly that they found out about Wang She.

Wang She was one of the 28 constellations of Immortal Palace and was closely linked to Zhou Bao. Before Zhou Bao came of age, Wang She helped him a lot. And after Zhou Bao rose to power, he in turn helped Wang She a lot. He helped Wang She in the hollow to rise to the Individual Immortal Karma Rank. So when it came to crossing the Void Thunder Tribulation, of course Zhou Bao would help him. At the very least, the two of them could cross together. The two men were in the same phase. So, wherever Wang She was crossing the tribulation, it was very likely Zhou Bao was going to be there.

That was why there were a lot of men on the ship today.

The Master of Celestial Mystery had figured out where Wang She was going to cross the Void Thunder Tribulation and that was at the Desolate Ancient Star Area.

Once he had figured out the location and had gained enough strength, he would at least be able to force the eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven into submission, even someone with the power of a Human Immortal!

Why is this so? Because ten years ago Zhou Bao had already overpowered Hai Tonghe, an eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Although he could not reach a very high phase because he had not crossed the Thunder Tribulation, at the speed he was growing, his combat capability could reach terrifying levels. What was more serious was that he was carrying a fairy weapon.

After crossing the Void Thunder Tribulation he would have a period of weakness, but how weak would he actually be then? It was ill-advised to be complacent.

Therefore, Divine Wind Palace started a policy of alliances with surrounding states, but this policy was not effective in the Four Eastern Regions. But supposing Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, which had the worst relationship with Zhou Bao, didn't want to get involved, there would be no choice for Divine Wind Palace but to resort to teaming up with the Three Western Regions.

The relationship between the Four Eastern Regions and Three Western Regions was not great, in fact, they were having a feud. But this did not mean they could not find allies there. The Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty and the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain all had an interest in Zhou Bao. It was due to this great interest that Divine Wind Palace managed to draw Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty and Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain into the situation. Then they could begin the operation.
