Chapter 534: The Grand Transmitting Formation & Being Treated with Contempt
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao saw a familiar face as he accompanied Chen Shoubai and Yan Yuntian to the Penglai Region to participate in the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. It was Elder Chen, who was the only other person he knew well apart from Yan Yuntian. Given Elder Chen’s standing position and that of Chen Shoubai, the elder was the most special one among this group of people. He was behind Chen Shoubai and Yan Yuntian but was closer to Chen Shoubai than all his disciples. This made Zhou Bao a little bit confused. Could it be that Elder Chen was related to the Chen Family’s ancestral temple?
However, he did not feel like spying on others’ privacy at this moment. He just needed to mind his own business.
Wearing a green robe, Zhou Bao looked like a weak scholar. He directly stood next to Chen Shoubai and a little bit behind Yan Yuntian. He didn’t want to steal the attention, after all, Yan Yuntian was going to contend for the position of the Human Emperor. However, he didn’t care that much for Chen Shoubai.
A young man named Yuanlong gave a cold snort as he saw Zhou Bao’s rude behavior. He leaned forward as if he was going to cause trouble to Zhou Bao. However, he gave up on this idea due to Chen Shoubai’s cold stare. Others did not know Zhou Bao’s strength, but Chen Shoubai did. Zhou Bao looked like an expert at Level Nine, who had not reached the Mysterious Realm, but his combat capability was quite terrifying. Moreover, he didn’t care about rules. Chen Yuanlong was the hope and also a promising trainee of the family branch that Chen Shoubai belonged to. Unquestionably, Chen Shoubai would not be willing to see such a talent die groundlessly in Jin.
“Haha, Mr.Shoubai, it seems that your disciple is ill-tempered!”
“It’s normal for young people to be ill-tempered!” Chen Shoubai glanced at Zhou Bao and replied indifferently. He suddenly took a step forward and simply passed by Zhou Bao and Yan Yuntian. Then, he continued, “The Transmitting Formation leading to the place holding the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony is quite far from here. I’m afraid no one can arrive there in one day except Zhou Bao. Let me take you there!” As he was speaking, he waved his hand and then, a blue ray flew out of his sleeve. The blue light was fixed in the air and expanded against the wind. It turned out to be a carriage about 300-foot long.
Yes, it was indeed a carriage. However, it seemed to be quite weird because it was a carriage floating on the air without any horses.
It was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device!
It was of the lowest grade, but a Highest Heaven Celestial Device nonetheless, which was the same as Yu Nantian’s Void Traveller.
“It’s a Highest Heaven Celestial Device! I’ve long heard about how miraculous they are, but I’ve never expected that I would be so lucky to see one!” Zhou Bao rolled his eyes as he heard Yan Yuntian’s exclamation. He had never expected that as the emperor of Jin, Yan Yuntian would have such a narrow horizon. After all, it was just a lowest-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device.
Just like the Pure Yang Celestial Devices and fairy weapons, the Highest Heaven Celestial Devices were also divided into Upper, Medium, and Lower Grade. The grade of the Highest Heaven Celestial Device was determined by its Highest Heaven Space. The Highest Heaven Space of the Lower-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device was just like the void. It was merely a piece of space debris with a single function; to enlarge the inner space of the celestial device, just like this carriage. The space in the carriage looked like an area of 30 feet from the outside, but once you got into it, you would find that it was enormous, maybe even broader than Jin. However, such a Highest Heaven Celestial Device did not help much in practice. There was a lack of pneuma inside it, and thus, it was not suitable for practicing. In a way, the Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device was the Holy Land for practicing. Its Highest Heaven Space was like the gray space captured by Zhou Bao. It possessed immense pneuma and a part of Dharma, which was a great help to practice some certain cultivation methods and understand some more about Dharma. As for the Upper-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, it was the same as the Silver Frost Castle. It had not only a huge amount of pneuma for practicing but also many indigenous creatures. Furthermore, the Dharma inside it was almost complete. The Silver Frost Castle’s Highest Heaven Space also had some weird creatures. However, Zhou Bao bombarded it with his Furnace of Immortality and Flipping Sky Seal unreasoningly and directly shattered its entire Highest Heaven Space, leaving no chance for these creatures to exert their power at all.
The carriage-shaped Highest Heaven Celestial Device in front of them had an independent space in it, but the pneuma there was insufficient, and it couldn’t be regarded as the Holy land for practicing.
As Chen Shoubai controlled the strange carriage, everyone got inside very quickly. Yan Yuntian couldn’t help but marvel at the enormous space inside the carriage. In fact, not just Yan Yuntian, but Zhou Bao too revealed an odd expression.
It indeed was a low-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, but under the careful arrangement of Chen Shoubai, it had become quite special. Rows of archaic bookshelves filled the enormous space and emanated wafts of the aroma of books. It looked like a palace for reading books, a tremendous library.
“This Speedy Flying Carriage was a gift from my father when I achieved a considerable success in school at the age of 20. It is more than 100 years old, and all the decorations in it have been elaborately arranged by myself during all these years!” While speaking of the carriage, Chen Shoubai felt quite proud. It really took him a lot of efforts to make this empty space a palace for reading.
“It’s no wonder that his strength has always remained in the present state. It turns out that all this stuff has distracted his attention from practice!” Zhou Bao thought as he saw the dense arrays of bookshelves.
The Speedy Flying Carriage moved very fast and it did live up to its reputation. It only took several hours to arrive at a place hundreds of thousands of miles away. During those hours, Zhou Bao just sat quietly on the chair, without even standing up. Obviously, Chen Shoubai’s disciples were afraid that he would discover the secret of the Speedy Flying Carriage, so they stood by his side all the time. They also stared at him vigilantly from time to time, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly rush out of the carriage and find out the secret of this Highest Heaven Celestial Device.
This was a secret to most of the people in this world, but not Zhou Bao. The information about how did the Highest Heaven Space form and how did the Highest Heaven Celestial Device work was only in the hands of a few influences and families, just like the high technology of his previous life.
However, without Jing XIII, Zhou Bao wouldn’t have known the secret of the Highest Heaven Celestial Device. He planned to check out the Highest Heaven Celestial Device right after he entered it, but now, he gave up on it. Yan Yuntian coveted this celestial device a lot, so he looked around and was very interested in this space. However, under the “strict supervision” of Chen Shoubai’s disciples, he did not have any chance to explore the mysteries of it.
Right when Yan Yuntian was itching for observing it more carefully, the carriage stopped suddenly.
“Well, here we are.” Chen Shoubai walked out of the Speedy Flying Carriage first and glanced at Zhou Bao and Yan Yuntian.
“Is this the right place?” Zhou Bao and Yan Yuntian got out of the carriage. In front of them was a towering and perilous peak.
“The Grand Transmitting Formation is right on the peak of Chuyun mountain. There is a powerful inhibition around the mountain, and thus, my Speedy Flying Carriage cannot land directly on the peak. However, don’t worry, someone will pick us up soon!” Before he could finish his words, two human figures dashed down from the peak.
“Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Yuangu, pay respect to the third deacon!” The two figures fell from the sky and saluted Chen Shoubai, without looking at anyone else.
“Fine. I’ve brought Yan Yuntian, the emperor of Jin here. Now open the inhibition!”
“Yes!” These two disciples of the Chen Family glanced at all the people behind Chen Shoubai, but they gazed a little longer at Yan Yuntian and Zhou Bao. Then, they took one jade card out respectively and pushed them towards the huge mountain.
Under their push, the surrounding space immediately produced waves of ripples, just like the water that was spreading out. After that, an entrance was revealed.
Everyone entered in succession. Not after too long, they arrived at a palace deep in the mountain through a deep tunnel.
This palace was old and delicate, and everyone knew that it had been built at least tens of thousands of years ago at the first sight. It was simple in design, with a black stone staircase that was thousands of feet long connecting the hall and the passageway suspended in the air. Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes as he stepped onto the passageway because he discovered that as soon as he stepped onto this thousands of feet long construction, the surrounding space was blocked by a mysterious force. The force was not that powerful but was quite mysterious. Zhou Bao came to the conclusion that it’d be easy for him to break the space, but he would get lost in the void immediately as soon as he did it. Only those who possessed a deep understanding of the Law of Space could survive. Zhou Bao was certain that he was incapable of doing that.
“That means I cannot get here through the hollow travel even if I know the coordinates of this place and I can only walk up the peak one step at a time. It seems that the Divine Wind Palace really cares about the Transmitting Formation. I just wonder whether I have the chance to observe the Space Formation. If I do, I can take this opportunity to figure out the secrets of it and try to copy it!” Zhou Bao walked through the staircase step by step with such wishful thoughts.
In the empty hall, with dazzling starlight, a Transmitting Formation stood in front of Zhou Bao with countless lines interwoven on it. With a single glance, these lines made Zhou Bao feel quite dizzy. In fact, being so focused on the formation made him trip and almost fall into it. Luckily, he finally managed to keep his balance, though his actions were seen by all the people present.
“Haha, there comes another uppity idiot. Do these people really think that this Transmitting Formation can be learned so easily and they can remember it by just looking?”
“This guy is much luckier than the last one, do you remember? The last one directly spat blood and became unconscious. He failed to stand on the Transmitting Formation and was directly carried out of the palace!”
“Haha, you’re right. That guy seemed to be an idiot of the Immortal Palace who has become a Metaphysic Individual Immortal. Haha!”
“Damn it, I am despised by them!” Even though Zhou Bao already had a sharp hearing, it was obvious that Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Yuangu wanted to be heard. Thus, although they talked to each other in a low voice, they deliberately did not hide their voice from the crowd. At the very start, everyone held back their laughter. However, not too long passed when constant laughter rang out and within a few seconds, all the people present burst out laughing.
