Chapter 431: Master Jinhua & The World of the Gourd
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Fairy Lan, no need to get angry! It is not worth it to damage your body for such a small character!”
The voice was feminine and distinct. In the water-blue canopy, a tiny spot of light appeared, which then evolved into a human figure.
Young, handsome, wearing a magnificent robe. He looked feminine and was holding on to a small, golden-yellow gourd. The gourd was small, delicate, and palm-sized. It looked like a carefully-made toy.
But in the eyes of the crowd, it was strange. Everyone saw that the small gourd suddenly appeared in the blue canopy when Zhou Bao carried out his special technique of hollow travel. The small gourd then suddenly sucked him in and Zhou Bao was unheard of ever since.
“So it’s Master Jinhua. I, Lan Shui’er, pay my tribute to you!”
After figuring out who the young man in the magnificent robe was, the blue copy suddenly withdrew and disappeared. Lan Shui’er’s body slowly revealed itself in mid-air and bowed towards the young man.
“You’re too courteous, Fairy Lan. This fella is too bold, how dare he offend you. If I don’t refine him into blood and water, I will never get rid of the hatred in my heart!” said Master Jinhua and laughed. His blossom-eyes stared at Lan Shui’er’s body as if he was going to rip off her clothes with his eyes.
Lan Shui’er was obviously very uncomfortable for being stared at by Master Jinhua. “Young Master, thank you for your help. It’s just that this fella and I have a feud going on. If Young Master would be so willing to hand him over to me and let me deal with him, I will never forget this favor.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. You are treating me like a stranger. There’s no need to ask for help between you and me. Let’s see, a fateful encounter is better than an arranged one. Since you have come to the Sea Area, I, being the owner of the place, should entertain you well!” As he said that, he saw a slight distress strewn across Lan Shui’er’s face. He couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Please not refuse, otherwise when word goes out, people would say that I do not know how to treat guests. That would not be good, right?!”
“Since Young Master has invited me, then, naturally, I must agree!” Lan Shui’er suddenly thought it through and smiled slightly.
“Good! ~” Seeing Lan Shui’er agree, Master Jinhua was very happy. Looking at the just-stabilized Void Traveller, he laughed and said, “Why don’t you all come along? Hehe. Rolling Dragon King has just issued a sea-closing order. Naturally, this is meant to catch all of you. But since I met you all coincidentally, then the honor should be mine. You guys even got a Highest Heaven Celestial Device! Not bad, not bad. This time, I want it as my reward.”
As he spoke, he flung his robe and the gourd in his hand suddenly became gigantic. It produced such a strong suction force that it seemed to be trying to suck in the whole Void Traveller.
“Hmm, since you know this is a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, do you think it will be that easy to control me?!” Watching from the side, Yu Nantian laughed coldly. The gourd faced down towards the spaceboat. With a violent movement of the Void Traveller, a gleaming golden light shone from the spaceboat suddenly. A column of light had just shot out from the spaceboat.
Void God-eliminating Cannon!
Boom!!
With a loud boom, the Void God-eliminating Cannon hit squarely onto the gourd. The gourd vibrated under the impact, and the light emitting from it toned down.
Master Jinhua had a change in expression. He saw that although the Void Traveller was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, the energy it needed to consume was too much. Hence, he decided to bring out his celestial device first. But he did not expect that at such a point in time the Void Traveller would still have the energy to fight back with such a strong recoil force.
However, although this was out of his expectation, it was nothing to fuss about. These guys were just common people, how could they be compared with him with their small tricks?
Master Jinua was ranked 9023rd in the Sea Area’s Ranking of Demons and Immortals. He was a Four-tribulation True Immortal and one of the four main subordinates of Rolling Dragon King. His cultivation was enough to shock the heavens and earth. Seeing his celestial device being beaten off, he was only shocked for a moment. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and suddenly a big hand appeared in the sky. This big hand was completely formed by pneuma. With a violent grab, the Void Traveller was already in this hand.
The Void God-eliminating Cannon may be effective, but it also used up the remaining pneuma of the Void Traveller. It did not manage to escape the grab of the big hand. Shortly after that, a black hole appeared in the sky and engulfed the Void Traveller as well as the big hand.
“Innate Qi Catching!”
Seeing the big hand that appeared suddenly, a flash of light was seen in Lan Shui’er’s gaze.
Innate Qi Catching Skill!
In the endless number of techniques, this skill was still very well-known. It was, in fact, comparable to the Thunder Technique. If she launches her Yin Thunder of Gui Water against this Innate Qi Catching, she may not even be able to blast away the big hand.
“Okay, Fairy Lan, everything is settled. If there’s anything, we can talk when we go back to the Water Mansion!”
“Okay!” Lan Shui’er cast a profound look at the golden gourd tied around Master Jinhua’s waist. She nodded her head slightly and followed him, disappearing into the air.
In mid-air, the fog that just blocked the path of Yu Nantian and the rest gradually cleared up, as if it did not appear before.
But talking about Zhou Bao, after Three Realms Division was activated, he had been moved to a strange place.
He had no idea that he was sucked into the celestial device of Master Jinhua. He only realized that he had moved to a very strange space. In this space, it was pitch-dark. Other than the golden red light coming from his Gang Qi, there was no other light source.
“What a strange and eerie place!”
There was neither pneuma nor life Qi. He was surrounded by dark mist. What was more problematic was that the dark mist was extremely corrosive.
“What place have I moved to? Why am I in such a situation? Am I really so unlucky that I’ve bumped into a spacial turbulence or something?” Zhou Bao had many unanswered questions. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. In the surging, black mist, a black shadow flashed through. If not for Zhou Bao’s Fiery Eyes, he would not have noticed it.
The dark shadow was about the thickness of one’s thumb, but it was especially agile. In just a short moment, it crawled out from the black mist and landed on his Gang Qi.
“This is…!” Having a clear look at the black shadow, Zhou Bao was alarmed. This black shadow was a black snake completely formed by the surrounding dark mist. The thin snake landed on his Gang Qi just like that but was not burnt by the scorching heat emanated from it. On the contrary, it stuck onto it and wiggled as much as it could. As it wiggled, Zhou Bao could feel his Gang Qi depleting.
“What a creepy thing!” Zhou Bao was alarmed, while his mind was racing. Just when he was thinking about how to melt this snake, something even more alarming happened. The surrounding black mist suddenly became even more raging. Snakes made of black mist started to form one by one and pounced at Zhou Bao. In just a few breaths, Zhou Bao’s Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang was covered by snakes sprawling over. Initially, his Gang Qi was leaking bit by bit. But now, his Gang Qi was flowing out like a flood rushing through opened gates. But Zhou Bao had activated Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints and was supported by strong Real Essence. If it was someone else facing this attack, his Real Essence Internal Qi would be gone within three breaths.
“I cannot go on like this. Even though my Real Essence Internal Qi is very strong, it cannot withstand such exhaustion. If I go on like this, within one hour, my Real Essence Internal Qi will be completely depleted!” Looking at the growing number of snakes covering his Gang Qi, Zhou Bao started to get frantic. The strange mist in the gourd looked extremely sinister from the beginning. But be it his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang or his Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, they all had extreme suppressing effects on sinister things. His Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique was one of the 3,000 Great Ways, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrument formed by it was known to beat all sinister things in the universe. But just now, he transformed his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang Qi in Gang Qi for Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique but it did not work one bit. The formed Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrument was even sucked away completely. This was way beyond Zhou Bao’s expectations.
Even Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique could not solve the problem, and his Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrument was sucked away. These things led Zhou Bao to be really worried.
He had reasons to worry.
All along, both of the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique and the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire had powers to control the sinister force. A normal sinister force could not do anything if he had these two powers. With these two powers as protection, Zhou Bao had always been confident with his personal safety. But now, these two powers were proven ineffective. One of it even was Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique of the 3,000 Great Ways.
He could not help but be scared.
But being scared did not mean he could not think. After experiencing the initial nervousness, Zhou Bao started to think fast. One by one, divine thoughts started to fly out, attempting to control the surrounding black-mist snakes. But it did not work. These mist snakes seemed to have no intelligence or spirit. They were just lifeless mist that stuck together. Even though they may have a form now, it was only designed to suck away Zhou Bao’s Gang Qi more conveniently. It had no strong spirit itself.
In other words, Zhou Bao was unable to retrieve information about those snakes through divine thoughts. Luckily, even though these mist snakes were strange, they were uninterested in divine thoughts. If they were to suck away his divine thoughts as well, Zhou Bao would be so desperate that he would be left with no tears to cry.
But on the other hand, since they could not absorb divine thoughts, that would also mean that it had nothing to do with divine thoughts. Because there is no spirit, Zhou Bao could not use his Fiery Eyes’ special technique to defeat them. This would mean Zhou Bao lost a way to fight his enemies.
“There’s no other way. I can only do this!” Zhou Bao sighed softly. In this strange space, he could only use his best and strongest weapon.
Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!
