Naturally, none of those issues concerned Zhou Bao, because he usually never thought that far ahead at all. At this point, all his attention was focused on the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices sent over by Bigwheel Temple.

As promised, Bigwheel Temple had delivered three Pure Yang Celestial Devices to Zhou Bao’s place. The one tasked with the delivery was Happy Monk, who had a sullen look on his face and immediately took his leave after he dropped off the devices, even though Zhou Bao was standing behind him and taunting him by inviting him to stay.

Of course, Zhou Bao had no intention of asking him to stay. Zhou Bao thought of him as a cheap disciple of Green Spirit, the one he had taken full advantage of, and was a laughingstock. Although he held no ill intent towards him, he nevertheless did not want to get too close to him.

After sending off Happy Monk, Zhou Bao, Wang She, Jiang Xiao, Zhu Ba and others gathered together to examine the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices which were placed on a table.

To Zhou Bao’s amazement, among the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices was a katana!

This long katana was black in color and a freezing cold undercurrent was oozing out from every part of its bodywork. Even the Pure Yang Qi above it started to transform into the Pure Yang as if it was under the influence of the spirit in the katana.

Chills, evil, bloodthirst and horror – all these emotions were felt in the room.

Tendrils of negative feelings and thoughts drifted out from the katana, and seemed to have a strong impact on the nerves of those present. Except for Zhou Bao and Wang She, the rest of the five at the scene all had to back away from the impact of the evil and freezing spiritual vibes emitted from the katana, as their cultivation level was not that highly developed yet. In the presence of this evil weapon, the temperature in the entire room seemed to have dropped, and the color of the room started to change as well.

“What a menacing saber!” Zhou Bao muttered, feeling something odd stirring in his heart.

“How callous the Bigwheel Temple is! They should not have given you this saber!”

“Do you know the history of this saber?” Hearing Wang She’s remark, Zhou Bao was surprised and questioned him.

“This is the topmost precious asset of the Chuyun tribe in Yingzhou—the Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill!”

“Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill? Chuyun tribe?”

“Like your Fiery Eyes tribe, this Chuyun tribe also comes from a very old bloodline from ancient times. But the difference is that the bloodline they inherited comes from a Primordial Demon, so their power and ways of practice are extremely evil. This tribe was wiped out over 1,3000 years ago, and this Thousand Snakes Pill was their most valuable treasure. It is a Pure Yang Celestial Device whose level is close to a magic weapon, and due to its excessive vicious nature, ordinary people simply can’t use it. Even when it is simply placed in a room, it still sends forth an extremely evil vibe which affects all living creatures within the area. However, it will be a shame to destroy it. This saber was later sent to the Bigwheel Temple, and was gradually purified by the Mandala Formation of the Bigwheel Temple, together with their other precious Buddha devices so as to take away its brutal and malicious vibes. But even though it is already 10,000 years old, the evil within it is still very malignant. It seems that the Bigwheel Temple never had the intention to purify this Pure Yang Celestial Device at all, all they did was merely to suppress it using some strong powers. This time, they are making use of this opportunity so pass this hot potato to you. What a brilliant idea!”

“Humph!” Zhou Bao snorted coldly. Gently stroking the neutral and benign Yang Qi of the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique with his right hand, a force shot out from his hand and instantly dissipated the evil essence that had permeated the entire room.

“Just in time! My Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique seems to have just reached the Basic Level already, which is just right for dealing with this evil saber. Let me draw it into my Gang Qi and purify it with the Nine Heaven Primordial Yang Qi, perhaps it will turn out to be a suitable weapon for me.” “While speaking, he looked at Wang She and smiled, “Chief Wang, I reckon you have also taken a fancy to this single device, right?”

“What do I need that thing for?” Wang She sneered and scooped up the best-looking weapon among the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices. “My personal preference is this Tower of Seven Treasures. If it works well with my Invisible Dragon Rod, its power will be greatly increased!”

“OK, then this is yours, Chief!” After that, Zhou Bao shot another look at the last Pure Yang Celestial Device and said, “What is this? It certainly looks a bit strange!”

“This is the Demon-conquering Purple Bowl. Just like that magic weapon Clear Glass Jade Bottle, it can be used to capture the opponent and imprison him within this purple bowl. It has a wide range of powers and you can use it as a shield for your body and at the same time as a weapon against your enemy. It’s really a rare offensive cum defensive fused Pure Yang Celestial Device that is hard to come by!”

“Really, it is so awesome? Did Bigwheel Temple finally come to its senses?”

“This is indeed a good Pure Yang Celestial Device, but it can only be used against outsiders. The Bigwheel Temple has several other Buddha devices that can restrict the powers of this purple bowl, that is why they have no qualms in gifting this to you!”

“That accounts for it. Hehe, in this case, except for the Tower of Seven Treasures which you’re holding on to, one of these weapons is too evil to be used for now, and the other’s power is held in check by Bigwheel Temple, am I right?”

“Yeah, basically. Another condition is, be it is the Tower of Seven Treasures or the Demon-conquering Purple Bowl, the user must be someone who practices the art of genuine Buddhist magic in order for the device to fully utilize its powers. If that is not the case, even if you manage to use it, the effect will not be as good as an average Pure Yang Celestial Device’s!”

“Then those living in the Bigwheel Temple are really something else! They’re very scheming! There was no way we could have seen that coming, uh?”

“No one is a total fool! Given that the Bigwheel Temple has been around in this world for so many years, they must have their own means of survival. Not only Bigwheel Temple, the same goes with the Immortal Palace and the Divine Wind Palace. The only difference lies in who has the more powerful means and is not shy to do it.”

“The one who has the more powerful means and is not shy to use it!”. Hehe, how precise is that! Well, it just boils down to who has the least compunction!”

“Exactly. Who has the least compunction and who is able to gain the upper hand. The Divine Wind Palace did so many shameful things in the past, but now it is already the most powerful influence in the Four Eastern Regions or even the Seven-deity Regions. What’s more, they are going to reestablish the reign of the Human Emperor. Really an ambitious endeavor!”

“Yeah, it is surely an ambitious plan. But since we don’t have such plans in the pipeline, don’t bring this up so often! Or else we will only be helping to boost the enemy’s morale and dampening our own spirits!”

“Wang She cracked a smile and put away his Tower of Seven Treasures. Zhou Bao also flicked his sleeve and sent the Demon-conquering Purple Bowl into his Space of Segmented Realms. Then, he turned around and cast a baleful look at Zhu Ba, who had been staring unblinkingly at the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices earlier but was forced to step back due to the impact of the evil Qi from this Evil Knife Thousand Snakes Pill. Zhou Bao snarled at him, “What’s up, want it?”

“At Zhou Bao’s glare, Zhu Ba hastily pulled back and shook his head repeatedly, “Forget it, Your Excellency. The device can make me lose control of myself solely with its force, how will I have the ability to control it? I’d better keep myself in check and wait until my cultivation breaks through Level Six and reaches the Expert Realm. Then, I will come back and ask Your Excellency for it!”

“You really have a nerve, asking me for it!” Zhou Bao sniggered and replied, “That’s fine. Not only you, but the two of you as well, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao. You’ve been my subordinates for many years already, and I won’t treat you shabbily. I promise, as long as your cultivation reaches to the Expert Realm, I shall give each of you one Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

“What?”

At this point, not only were the three dumbstruck, even Wang She was stunned, looking at Zhou Bao with an incredulous look, saying “Junior Leopard, did I hear you correctly or are you insane? You are giving them one Pure Yang Celestial Device each! That will be three Pure Yang Celestial Devices! How are you able to get so many Pure Yang Celestial Devices?”

“Hehe, didn’t you say that many people think I have the capital to establish a new sect? And I am telling you that, yes, I do have the capital to establish a new sect. I especially want those people to keep guessing how profound my background is, how much capital I have, and how strong my power can be. It’s the only way to prevent them from targeting me, and seeking improper gains from my Wuyang Region from time to time. The monk from Bigwheel Temple, who created trouble for me shall be the last one that was allowed to escape unscathed. Next time, no matter who the troublemaker is, as long as he picks on me for no good reason, the matter will no longer be settled by the gifting several Pure Yang Celestial Devices, but will be settled only by taking his life!”

Zhou Bao growled ruthlessly.

In fact, this time if it hadn’t been for Green Spirit, who had snatched the body of Child-endowing Buddha and given Zhou Bao the inspiration to let Green Spirit enter the Bigwheel Temple in the guise of the Child-endowing Buddha and plant a nail there, he would never have let Bigwheel Temple off the hook so easily. However, on no account could he ever talk about this to anyone. If the secret leaked out, he would certainly be caught in a life-or-death battle with the Bigwheel Temple.

Seeing the unwavering expression on Zhou Bao’s face, Wang She’s heart also gave a jolt. He nodded slightly and said, “Relax, I will get the word out and you should be able to have some quiet time. However, there is one man you should be aware of!”

“Who?”

“Master of Golden Lights Cave!”

“Master of Golden Lights Cave? Golden Lights Cave of the Qianyuan Mountain? Are you talking about the teacher of Lu Shaoyou?” The name jolted Zhou Bao’s memory as he remembered the three men he encountered when he first fell into the Azure Secret Area – Happy Monk, Great Dark Lord Du of the Dark Sect, and this Master of Golden Lights Cave in the Qianyuan Mountain. Zhou Bao had no deep impression of him but his memory of the guy was like a sharp sword, pricking at the edge of his curiosity and nothing else.

I have no hatred nor enmity with that man. Why will he trouble me? If he has to find trouble with someone, it should be you!” Zhou Bao sounded perplexed, thinking about the unresolved grievances between Wang She and Lu Shaoyou.

Master of Golden Lights Cave is a very ambitious man, and he was an extraordinarily gifted leader as well. He once inherited a sword practitioner school in the medieval period. And since then, he has vowed to continue the art of sword training from the school, but the timing was never right for him. Although his individual power is great, it was still not good enough to help him conquer everything and take over the leadership. Honestly, his strength and resources are still insufficient. For the purpose of fostering and enhancing his sect, what he needs most is a set of decent instructions and manoeuvers, and your Yin and Yang Dust Formation is his best choice. With his strength and aptitude, in addition to the bunch of disciples he has and the connection he’s got, if he can obtain your Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the influence of his Golden Lights Cave in the Qianyuan Mountain will definitely increase. Then, it will no longer be the sect which has only one impressive leader and could drop like a shooting star; which is the impression everyone has of the sect now. Instead, it may continue existing for thousands of years and become another millennia sect in the Central Mainland Region!”

“Are you saying he is going to target my Yin and Yang Dust Formation? Is he stupid or what?” said Zhou Bao, shaking his head. It was true that the strength of this Master of Golden Lights Cave was powerful. If this was in the past, he would surely have second thoughts about it. But now, he had no such scruples when it came to this Level Nine Sword Practitioner at all. Even though this Level Nine Sword Practitioner had achieved Individual Immortal Karmic Rank with the help of the Innate Green Lotus, he did no fear him either. After all, since Zhou Bao had his own Pure Yang Celestial Device, which was also a magic weapon, and having such immense power, why would he be scared by this Master of Golden Lights Cave? That must surely be a joke!
