Omnipotent Sage Chapter 620

The dispute had been settled . But before this problem ended, another conflict surfaced—the five biggest sects, once again, started tussling with each other over the selection of candidates that they intended to dispatch .

Unlike the last time, the mission this time embodied heavy responsibilities and no negligence would be allowed . Every sect had to send their topmost elites on this mission . Therefore, Yu Taixu proposed that each sect dispatch one Genuine Immortal in the Lord of Heaven Realm accompanied by multiple Venerables with strong combat capabilities . People gave their consensus on this proposal, but one question was still not settled - which candidates should be sent on this mission?

In light of the significance of this event, Yu Taixu and Yu Taixuan from Divine Wind Palace were both going . Their capability to dispatch two Lords of Heaven at one time, highlighted the strength of Divine Wind Palace . Be it Bigwheel Temple, Jade Pool, Dragon Thunder Palace, or Immortal Palace, they only had one Lord of Heaven Realm in their respective sects . With one Lord of Heaven dispatched by each of the sects while two were dispatched by Divine Wind Palace, even if the rest of the sects sent several additional Venerables, the strength of each sect would not be equal to that of Divine Wind Palace . Coupled with other scruples they had to consider, once again, the five biggest sects had disagreements .

However, this time Divine Wind Palace demonstrated their absolute determination on winning and refused to reach any compromise . At last, no concrete agreement was reached even after a lengthy quarrel . Finally, Yu Taixu pounded the table and shouted, "This mission will not tolerate any errors, so each sect shall dispatch their most powerful forces and that gives no cause for criticism . Therefore, this meeting will not be the deciding factor for the final candidates of each sect!"

These words clearly conveyed the underlying meaning of Divine Wind Palace, which was "Divine Wind Palace doesn't give a damn who the other sects intend to send, and you should not intervene in our choice of candidates, either!"

Having heard this, what else could the others say anyway? "Moreover, even if they really got into a fight for this, how different would the results be? This time, Divine Wind Palace displayed its domineering side again, leaving every sect furious but also helpless . However, Immortal Palace seemed to be indifferent on this issue . The old bastard Green Dragon walked out of the Human Emperor Palace with a relaxed expression and he thought to himself, "You guys can do whatever you want, anyway, I shall merely send Zhou Bao and everything will be settled!"

It was true that ever since Zhou Bao joined Immortal Palace, it had been easier for them in terms of handling matters . With this trouble-stirring guy on their side, Immortal Palace was able to resist pressure from Divine Wind Palace with skill and ease .

"It's really within our expectations! In this kind of situation, Immortal Palace will certainly send you; you're their magic weapon!"

The choice of Immortal Palace was not a surprise to Zhou Bao . Immortal Palace would naturally dispatch Zhou Bao, especially when Divine Wind Palace had given up interfering in candidate selections from other sects so as to ensure that all its elites would be on this task . The strong combat capability of Zhou Bao had been evident during the fight with Hong Taihe a long time ago . In the Infinite Star Sea, Zhou Bao also demonstrated his strong techniques in front of several Lords of Heaven . His combat capability was beyond comparison, thereby there was no ground for complaints when Immortal Palace decided to dispatch him .

What disturbed Zhou Bao was the other Lord of Heaven that Immortal Palace had chosen to send—Mr . Feng IX .

There were Four Signs and 28 constellations in Immortal Palace .

This Mr . Feng IX was one of the Four Signs, specifically, the Scarlet Rosefinch . He was surnamed Feng, so everyone called him Mr . Feng IX . This Mr . Feng IX had been practicing and doing closed-door training in the depths of space-time in Immortal Palace for more than 300 years already . He never came out once or inquired about the affairs of the mundane world during the 300 years . But now, for the sake of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode on Desolate Island, he finally exited his training .

Mr . Feng IX was also the first Genuine Immortal in the Lord of Heaven Realm that Immortal Palace had paraded in front of the five biggest sects over the last 1,000 years . 300 years ago when Feng IX started his closed-door training, he was still at the peak of a Venerable . But to everyone's surprise, when he came out 300 years later, he was already a Lord of Heaven .

At first, everybody assumed that sending Zhou Bao alone was enough for Immortal Palace, but who knew that they would be sending an additional person! With Feng IX plus Zhou Bao, their top-level combat capabilities were no less than that of Divine Wind Palace!

Normally, members of Divine Wind Palace would already leap to their feet in opposition . Even if they did not express their objection openly, they would still be up to no good behind the scenes . However, this time round, Divine Wind Palace did not take any action but maintained their silence, which had the rest worried . They were all wondering whether Divine Wind Palace was planning something or not .

Of course, no matter whether Divine Wind Palace was preparing some secret plans or not, every sect was on the alert internally . Desolate Island was not a place like the Four Eastern Regions where Divine Wind Palace could do whatever they want . The news this time not only stimulated the Seven-deity Regions, but also the Sea Area . In comparison, the Sea Area was the most fearful opponent they would face .

Over so many years, no one in the Seven-deity Regions had ever discovered the real strength of the Sea Area . Thus, how strong the strength of the Sea Area was on earth remained unknown .

For Genuine Immortals in the Lord of Heaven Realm, the vast Sea Area extending to thousands of miles afar was not a barrier at all; so too for Genuine Immortals whose cultivation was at the peak of Venerable Realm . They had some power to break the hollow . Adding the one or two Pure Yang Celestial Devices they carried with them, this time to travel from the Four Eastern Regions to Desolate Island, they would not need to ride on a Highest Heaven Celestial Device like the one Zhou Bao rode when leading a bunch of rookies to go the Three Western Regions previously . At that time, the Highest Heaven Celestial Device they rode was one with an extremely poor capacity for attacking and defense; this caused them to make a fool of themselves and they were almost captured in the Sea Area .

This time the circumstances were different . Inside Divine Wind Palace, over 20 people from the five biggest sects gathered together . Each of them was an expert at the peak of Venerable Realm or above, and nearly 10 of them were Lords of Heaven . As the only one whose cultivation was at the peak of Individual Immortal Realm, Zhou Bao seemed to stand out among them, but no one dared voice out any dissent about his participation . During these years, Zhou Bao had proved his value and qualifications by his strength . Of course, this incurred lots of secret criticisms from Yu Taixu of Divine Wind Palace . As far as Yu Taixu was concerned, Zhou Bao was the same kind of guy as Wang She who always refused to play by rules, for he stealthily refined his Real Body in the hollow and entered the Mysterious Realm so that he would not subject to the restrictions of the Golden Book of Fate . The existence of this kind of guy made Yu Taixu very bad-tempered, and he kept cursing these two bolshy guys, hoping they would die in the Void Thunder Tribulation as though this could dissolve his hatred towards them .

Zhou Bao certainly could sense this emotion in Yu Taixu, and he also knew Yu Taixu was always unfriendly towards him . But Zhou Bao did not care . No matter what cards Yu Taixu had up his sleeve, it could not frighten him anymore, because the advantage he had at hand was more solid . The present question was merely about what sort of good opportunity could he take advantage of so as to completely upset Divine Wind Palace .

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's get started!" Yan Yuntian, as the candidate of the Human Emperor, naturally played a very crucial role in this important event . But for a role as imminent as this, he was never going to be the lead person but merely responsible for the flag-waving and slogan-shouting on the sidewalk .

Despite the fact that everyone had the ability to break the hollow, their strength still varied . Considering the long distance to Desolate Island, even if they could break the hollow, it would incur a great deal of energy . Furthermore, Desolate Island was not a safe place at all . What if they were under attack once they broke through the hollow upon their arrival?

Hence, it was unrealistic to let everyone travel to Desolate Island using their own strength . In this case, the sects in the Four Eastern Regions had made sufficient preparations . When everyone was at this gathering, a Highest Heaven Celestial Device appeared in front of them .

This celestial device was about 30 feet in length, 15 feet in height and looked like a warship .

Every Highest Heaven Celestial Device owned a Highest Heaven Space, and that was why it could fly in the hollow . Therefore, the appearance of most Highest Heaven Celestial Devices resembled transportation vehicles from various worlds, such as the Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle Zhou Bao took hold of in the Infinite Star Sea for the Void Traveller he used to travel across the Sea Area last time . Those Highest Heaven Celestial Devices were similar to transportation vehicles, while others like the Silver Frost Castle were usually classified as Upper-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Devices .

At present, the warship in front of them was the Seven-color Warship, a Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device . Although it could not match the Silver Frost Castle, when compared to the Void Traveller belonging to Yu Nantian, its defensive power and attack force were both significantly enhanced .

"Let's get on board . This Golden Embroidered Warship is the Highest Heaven Celestial Device that has the most complete functions from Divine Wind Palace . Its speed is also the fastest . It only takes several seconds at most to reach Desolate Island from here, which will save you all the fatigue of normal traveling!" After displaying the Seven-color Warship, Yu Taixuan said with a smile, his tone revealing a trace of pride in it .

In the five biggest sects, only Divine Wind Palace had the strength and confidence to own multiple Highest Heaven Celestial Devices and also list them by categories to enable them to select the most suitable one for a certain operation .

As the words of Yu Taixuan faded away, the Golden Embroidered Warship emitted a faint light which had seven colors . This light enveloped the crowd and then vanished . Following that, dozens of those Lords of Heaven and Venerables also vanished and instantly appeared on the warship . Their leader Yu Taixu nodded slightly at Yan Yuntian, and then the warship immediately broke the hollow and disappeared from the space-time of Divine Wind Palace .

Evidently, this Golden Embroidered Warship did have an extremely powerful capability to do hollow travels . It shuttled so smoothly in the hollow that it seemed to be an agile fish swimming in the water . It broke through the multi-layered hollow all at once and headed straight to their destination .

"Seems that this ship does have the ability to arrive at the Desolate Island in a few seconds! Yu Taixuan was certainly not exaggerating!"

Watching the flexible movements of this warship, Zhou Bao thought to himself . But before this thought faded away, his expression suddenly altered .

"Watch out!"

"Boom!"

Just like the Titanic colliding with an iceberg, the Golden Embroidered Warship hit an unknown object . It started shaking violently and stopped abruptly in the hollow .

It should be highlighted that this ship was designed specifically for hollow travels . Now it abruptly stopped moving, which meant trouble was just around the corner . They were surrounded by space-time torrents, which looked like huge waves . In the blink of an eye, those huge waves of space-time torrents completely engulfed the Golden Embroidered Warship .

"Watch out, we've run into space-time torrents!"

The Golden Embroidered Warship stuck in space-time torrents was not very different from an ordinary ship in a sea storm . It was surging, tossing and churning among all the space-time torrents . But thanks to the Highest Heaven Space inside it and the strong cultivation its passengers possessed, everyone was still alive . Otherwise, their bodies would have long been torn apart under such violent vibrations .

Haha, dumbasses from Seven-deity Regions, just take your time to drift in those space-time torrents and leave the Hidden Treasure on the Desolate Island to us Sea Area!"
