“Of course, all the tephra here have been refined by the Island Owner. All these are only part of the Tusk Island’s defense. The only reason why all of you could enter this place smoothly is that the Island Owner has removed the island’s inhibitions. If not, entering the Tusk Island would have been impossible,” Tuo Gu asserted. His tone was full of confidence and he completely disregarded the great power Zhou Bao displayed.

“Seems like your Island Owner must be a powerful person. There is so much tephra here that it would take ages to refine!”

“It’s nothing. The Island Owner has a magic weapon that can refine as much tephra as he likes!” Tuo Gu taunted, “Zhou Bao, Your Excellency, don’t think about tricking me. I have already told you what I can say. The words that I cannot tell will never be spoken!”

Zhou Bao felt a bit awkward at Tuo Gu’s words. He could only nod and say, “I understand, I understand. I didn’t intend to inquire about your secrets. I was just curious about why your Island Owner has only invited me over. You must understand, there are people on that boat who are stronger than me and they even possess celestial devices and Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

“Our Island Owner invited you because the power you just displayed surprised him. Of course, that’s not to say that our Island Owner is not inferior to you. It is just that our Island Owner needs someone as powerful as you, that’s why he had let you guys in!”

“The Island Owner needs my strength and therefore he let us in?”

“That’s right. You’ll understand once you meet him,” Tuo Gu promised. He stopped abruptly and said, “The Island Owner is right ahead. You can find him yourself, I can only accompany you to this point!”

Zhou Bao fixed his gaze on the path Tuo Gu pointed out. The area under the mountain was, in fact, a basin enveloped by mountains. In the center of the basin was a deep pool, and beside the pool was a small wooden house. It looked rudimentary but it had a refreshing aura.

“Your Island Owner lives there?!”

“Yes. Go ahead. Besides the Island Owner, nobody is allowed in. Who would have thought that Your Excellency would have a chance to go in!” Tuo Gu sighed with a trace of jealousy that he could not conceal.

“I’m not interested in that, I wish we could exchange positions!” Zhou Bao observed Tuo Gu’s jealous expression and thought in his heart. He saw that the valley had not much killing intent. It was instead a place of peace and calm. He felt relieved. Straightening his body, he leaped downwards to the bottom of the valley.

Landing at the bottom of the valley, Zhou Bao walked to the front of the wooden house. Then, Zhou Bao’s eyebrows twitched a little. The door to the wooden house was open and the interior of the house was not big. With one glance, he could tell there was no spatial barrier in this space. Of course, there was no one there, either.

“Strange, how can there be no one? Is that damn Island Owner playing with me? Do I look like an easy target to be played with?!” Zhou Bao was not pleased. While he was deep in thought, a loud splash came from the deep pool. Zhou Bao was wide-eyed as he saw a huge blue fish jump out of the deep pool. As it flew across the air, it transformed into a person and appeared in front of Zhou Bao.

The fish incarnation was actually a blue-clothed female. She was beautiful, refined and exuded a pristine aura, much like the fairies in water.

“18 Dragon-bone Regions, the First Tusk Island’s Island Owner Lan Shui’er meets Your Excellency Zhou Bao!”

Lan Shui’er’s physical appearance stunned Zhou Bao. But in a split second he regained his composure and offered his hand, “Central Mainland Region, Jin Dynasty, Yunzhou Zhou Bao meets Island Owner!”

“No need for the pleasantries, Your Excellency, please come in!”

Lan Shui’er was a water fairy, a monster. She did not care for the pleasantries of human beings. She only exchanged names with Zhou Bao and then proceeded to invite him into the small wooden house.

“Thanks!” Zhou Bao smiled and strode into the house. He found a stool, sat down, and said, “I wonder why Island Owner has called me here?”

“I’d like to ask you for a favor!”

“Island Owner, you must be joking. Island Owner’s power far exceeds mine. Just now, I, Zhou Bao, was just showing off my mediocre powers in front of you. I am now deeply embarrassed, so I ask Island Owner to stop joking with me,” Zhou Bao said hastily.

He could not see through the strength of the Island Owner, but he could sense Lan Shui’er’s Water-property Essential Qi in her body. It was silky and layered, as if her entire body had integrated with the Water-property Essential Qi. It was as if she was a boundless deep pool. A glance at her would make one gasp consecutively.

This aqua original energy was not any ordinary essence of the world. It was Dharma power, an authentic Dharma power vibration, which was extremely rich and strong.

Zhou Bao had Dharma power within him too and his level of Dharma power was quite high. But he was not able to display it as his body was not strong enough.

His body condition now, to be honest, was only enough to withhold the Dharma power.

The Innate Deity’s bones have been absorbed by him, but a large part of that energy was stored in secret corners of his acupoint. Only a small portion successfully blended with his body. He could only wait until his body’s strength meets a certain higher standard so as to absorb all the energy of the Innate Deity’s bones.

Lan Shui’er stood in front of him and had an extremely fine Dharma power that began to pressurize Zhou Bao. If he had not used a fairy weapon nor the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword that he just accomplished, he would not be qualified to be Lan Shui’er’s opponent.

That was why he said such polite and placating words. It could be considered as a decline of Lan Shui’er’s request. After all, how could she ask him for help?

If he could not even handle matters this small, could he be silly enough to meddle in it?

“I’ve overcome four Thunder Tribulations. In the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, I am ranked number 9873!”

After Lan Shui’er heard Zhou Bao’s rejection, she was not angry. Instead, she gently said, “The 18 Dragon-bone Regions First Area’s Tusk Island’s Island Owner—Rolling Dragon King—has experienced the Thunder Tribulation five times and is ranked number 7452 in the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Based on strength alone, he is slightly superior to mine. but the land controlled by him is so much bigger than my Tusk Island. I can only control the Tusk Island and its surroundings, the radius of which is about 12,000 miles. The Rolling Dragon King is one of the five Dragon Kings. The area he controls is 10 times of mine. Besides, he is on good terms with the other four Dragon Kings and has issued a sea-closing order. Without my help, we cannot cross the sea!”

“It doesn’t matter if we can’t cross the sea!” Zhou Bao shrugged. “Wait until the people on this boat have all died, then I will head back. Even though I can’t save them, I am confident that I can return home safely. You think I want to cross the sea? I would rather have them all dead, then I will have a reason to go back!”

“Ok!” Lan Shui’er smiled. “You have a point. Then let me help you kill all of them now. What do you think?”

“Tut-tut-tut!” Zhou Bao smacked his lips. This girl had pretty looks, good refinement and strong powers, but how could she speak with such murderous intent? Just because there was the slightest disagreement between them, she claims that she wants to kill everyone. That left Zhou Bao freezing there, not knowing how to respond to those words.

“Actually, there is no need for such murderous intent, right?!” Zhou Bao smiled pleadingly. “Island Owner’s powers are so strong. I’m sure you can see through me. I can’t conceal my real strength from you. How can I possibly help you, Island Owner?”

“I say you can, so you definitely can!” Lan Shui’er could tell that Zhou Bao’s tone was easygoing. She smiled, “Although your strength is not as powerful as mine, your combat capability is shockingly strong. It seems like your cultivation has stagnated at Level Nine, but your Internal Qi has become Real Essence. Unbelievable! You must have practiced more than one acupoint, haven’t you?”

“I just have good luck,” Zhou Bao muttered.

It seemed like the cultivation to activate acupoints was not much of a secret in the Sea Area. Putting in other words, for a Demonic Immortal like Lan Shui’er, it was not much of a secret.

There was a message in Lan Shui’er’s words that worried him. What kind of a concept is it for a Genuine Immortal who had overcome four Thunder Tribulations to be ranked up to 10,000 on the Ranking of Demons and Immortals? That was to say, in this boundless Sea Area, the number of Genuine Immortals who had overcome four Thunder Tribulations was nearly 10,000.

Also, Demonic Immortals who experienced less than four Thunder Tribulations would be even more. Thinking about this kind of power, Zhou Bao’s hair all stood up in fear.

No wonder the Divine Wind Palace did not dare to attack the Sea Area. It was completely impossible. Even if the Divine Wind Palace’s strength was powerful, it would not be so unbelievably powerful. Putting aside the possibility of attacking the Sea Area first, if the experts of Sea Area did not attack the Seven-deity Regions, they should already be thankful.

“There are many people with good luck. But even if there are thousands of Demonic Immortals in my Sea Area, there are not many that have really cultivated their acupoints. Although you have not cultivated your Dharma power, your Real Essence is extremely high. It is almost as high as Dharma power and is just as majestic. It is almost boundless and belongs to the Fire nature, which suits my preferences just right. Although I am a Genuine Immortal who has conquered four tribulations, my nature is Water. What I cultivate is water-property Essential Qi. Dharma power is also of Water nature. They cannot be used!”

It seemed like someone is eyeing on Zhou Bao’s Real Essence of Fire nature.

“Since Island Owner is being so frank, Zhou Bao naturally cannot reject. I wonder if Island Owner has any orders?!”

“Follow me!” Hearing Zhou Bao’s agreement, Lan Shui’er immediately stood up. The surrounding air reverberated with waves of water-like ripples. Zhou Bao was worried. Lan Shui’er sliced a space open without a sound and opened a Space Passage.

This trick was not difficult, but to conceal it from Zhou Bao within such a short distance was extremely difficult. The Space Passage was already formed without Zhou Bao feeling anything.

The other end of the passageway was a sealed space. It could be said to be a hall, or a prison room made of stone. It was spacious, ancient and completely made using an enormous stone. The stone walls were extremely smooth, with no adornments on the surface. On the other hand, the floor was filled with all kinds of mysterious talisman, forming a huge threatening formation. It locked all the Qi in the air firmly within its space.

A life that had not even been born was already this threatening. Who knew how sinister it would be when it hatches.

“This is a Primordial Fierce Beast that I found on a falling star. I’ve kept it here to nourish it, but it has not been able to hatch. I practice with water-property Essential Qi, and my Dharma power out of the five elements belongs to Water nature. I cannot give it the warmth it needs.”

Zhou Bao’s eyebrows furrowed. He did not expect that he would be invited here to hatch a Primordial Fierce Beast’s egg. He did not even know what a Primordial Fierce Beast was.

“Island Owner must be joking. Although I practice with fire-property Qi, I use it to attack. To hatch this Primordial Fierce Beast seems a little unreliable. What if I kill it…!”
