Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 469: Sorting the Biggest Harvest

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Out of the 30 Demonic Immortals, 25 of them had Pure Yang Celestial Devices on them. Moreover, each of Rolling Dragon King’s three princes had more than one Pure Yang Celestial Device! The eldest had three, the second had three, and the third prince had a whopping six Pure Yang Celestial Devices! Altogether, Zhou Bao had gained 35 Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Adding in the Pure Yang Celestial Devices that had been obtained from Master Jin Hua’s and his own, Zhou Bao, after some calculation, silently realized that he had over 50 Pure Yang Celestial Devices with him!

50 Pure Yang Celestial Devices!

What…?

It was enough to build 50 sects belonging to Tian Long Taoism. If Zhou Bao wished to establish a new sect, he would be able to do so immediately.

Of course, it was not the right time to reveal that he had seized 35 Pure Yang Celestial Devices from the Demonic Immortals of the Dragon tribe. However, it was still enough to shock people.

Plus, besides the Pure Yang Celestial Devices, those weapons in the Mysterious Level and Psychic Level were countless. Adding all those scattered pieces up would exceed 200 items. This was the weapons side.

There were also numerous cultivation methods of the Demon tribe, their panacea, many medicinal herbs that had long been extinct from the Seven-deity Regions, Spiritual Stones, Mysterious Objects… When they were all added up, they could fit into several houses.

Wealth. Enormous wealth.

In the past, when Zhou Bao used to hear gossip about the Dragon Palace’s riches, he thought they were all just rumors. But now, seeing the wealth that lay before him, Zhou Bao finally understood. The Dragon tribe was richer than any legend boasted them to be. The wealth he had seized from 30 or so Demonic Immortals was enough to rebuild four or five Jin Dynasties. Which was also to say that even if his own Anyuan Store were to collapse, he had enough wealth to build a dynasty not at all inferior to the Jin Dynasty. However, Zhou Bao had no interest in these matters. If he did, it would only be a few years before he built a Wuyang Dynasty from the northwest region with riches like no other.

“If I take these items out, it will definitely cause inflation!” Zhou Bao held a Pure Yang Celestial Device in his hand as he kicked away a bag of golden pearls.

From all the precious materials he had gathered, Zhou Bao was the most interested in the Mysterious Objects.

All these things were seized from Rolling Dragon King’s subordinates. If they were not precious treasures, they would have never had the face nor the guts to offer them to Rolling Dragon King.

“All these materials are rare elaborate works. What is this? Could it be a dragon pearl? I can’t believe I can actually hear the sound of the sea in these pearls. Imagine how long it must take for a pearl to achieve this state!

“This is Heavenly Peach Wood. No, no, this is even stronger than Heavenly Peach Wood. Damn, if I used my strength, I could crumble a Wizard Weapon with this!

“Is this cold iron that has been at the bottom of the sea for 10,000 years? No way, this thing belonged to the heaps of trash at the bottom of the sea. How could the Third Prince be interested in this? It’s definitely not cold iron from the bottom of the sea!

“Damn, what power is this? Radiation? No way, if they offered this to the Crown Prince, wouldn’t it be tantamount to stealing money and murder?

“And what is this bone? So odd, why do I sense such a strange aura from this bone? Interesting, I can’t even break it…!”

…

Zhou Bao identified each item over the span of three days. It was only then that everything was labeled clearly. Besides the fact that he had many excited doubts, he finally understood the feeling of immense happiness mentioned in those western fantasy novels.

People might not be thieves, but the temptation of wealth was simply too strong.

“These secret cultivation methods are not bad. What a pity though that the most suitable is the best out of all. It’s just like the Jade Original Power Gang that I practice; no matter how hard I try, I cannot reach the highest realm. However, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire and the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique complement each other and, magically, they suit me so well even though the Demonic Immortals that practice this are quite high!” Looking at the heap of secret cultivation methods that lay before him, Zhou Bao furrowed his eyebrows gently. This time, he had amassed 65 books of cultivation techniques. However, only four or five books genuinely interested him.

“It seems like Rolling Dragon King really loved his youngest son the most! He even passed this kind of cultivation method to him!” Picking up a book that had obviously been copied manually, Zhou Bao’s mouth shaped into a smile. “Dragon Flame Technique, not bad, not bad. This is one of the ways among the 3,000 Great Ways. My Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was reborn from this. Only someone at the same level as Rolling Dragon King could control all of these. I never thought that he would actually pass them on to the Third Prince. It seems like he is set on having his third son inherit his throne!”

Of course, out of all the cultivation methods, Zhou Bao was most interested in the Innate Qi Catching Skill that he had gotten from Master Jin Hua. It was a special technique and its capabilities were also very simple. One only needed to concentrate Evil Qi, practice into one big hand that could catch the Flying Sword Magic Weapon, and practice until the skill was solid. Once he saw this special technique, Zhou Bao thought of the hand that ripped open the Hollow in the Dragon-taming Ruins. He could not help sighing.

“Hehe. The Innate Qi Catching Skill. Legend has it that it is the most simple and, simultaneously, the most complex special technique. It holds infinite possibilities of special techniques. I never thought that I would one day get to use it!” Hugging the cultivation method of the Innate Qi Catching Skill, Zhou Bao could not help smiling.

The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was known as the special technique with the strongest potential to kill, while the Innate Qi Catching Skill was known as the most practical special technique. It was known as such because, in this world, most of the Evil Qi could be used to practice the Innate Qi Catching Skill. One could even use numerous different types of Evil Qi to practice the Innate Qi Catching Skill because this type of special technique only required one to concentrate pneuma to form a big hand.

What was that hand? The hand is the part of a man with the most nimble parts and also the part that is most frequently used. With a pneuma hand, one could perform a lot of actions that the human body could not. If a pneuma hand was used flexibly, it was even stronger than Divine Control. The most important point was that one could add even more powers to the pneuma hand. From a certain standpoint, the Innate Qi Catching Skill held infinite possibilities of usage. It was not like the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword killing style, which, besides chopping a man dead with a sword, had no other use at all.

However, the Innate Qi Catching Skill was different. It had infinite possibilities for cultivation methods and an infinite potential. When the Innate Qi Catching Skill was practiced to the highest realm and the legendary Void-catching Technique was achieved, one could then use his own pneuma to rip hollow space, using the limitless space to achieve what he wanted. Only one hand was required for all problems to be solved.

This was the Innate Qi Catching Skill. It was also the special technique that Zhou Bao had always wanted. And now, he had it.

“Flickering Light Evil Qi, if you want to be cultivated into the Void-catching Technique, you’d better infuse Flickering Light Evil Qi into Evil Qi. In this way, the battle is half won!” Zhou Bao thought to himself secretly, “However if the Innate Qi Catching Skill’s Evil Qi is too complicated, that’s not good either. The purer the better!”

The Dragon Flame Technique and the Innate Qi Catching Skill were Zhou Bao’s greatest rewards and also the ones that interested him the most. Aside from these, he was not interested in any other cultivation methods.

“I practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire, which is as wonderful as the Dragon Flame Technique. Therefore, if I practiced the Dragon Flame Technique, no one would suspect anything. As for the Innate Qi Catching Skill, I obtained that from Master Jin Hua, so practicing that would not be suspicious also. As for those 30 or so Demonic Immortals from the Dragon tribe, I’d better be steady about that. Rolling Dragon King could not possibly enter the Seven-deity Regions, but that doesn’t mean that he would not have other means. A Lord of Heaven Realm Immortal who lost everything would go crazy. If it were me, I would find all ways to get revenge!”

Looking at the heaps of treasures in front of him, Zhou Bao felt a little bit helpless. In the end, he stored all of them in his own space.

Although his adventure to the Sea Area did not achieve his initial purpose, what he gained was very shocking. His greatest reward was definitely the Primordial Demonic Ape’s Real Body. With that alone, he could return home. Plus, he also seized so many precious cultivation methods. But the most important thing of all was that Zhou Bao recognized his own weaknesses, which got him to see his future direction in life.

“I practice way too many things and some of them are frivolous. A lot of cultivation methods and Divine Sense have to be used together. That’s so inconvenient! Plus, it is precisely because of these sophisticated cultivation methods and Divine Sense that my potential for progress was impeded!” In the midst of stealing treasures from Rolling Dragon King’s palace, besides the cultivation methods and Divine Sense, there were also a lot of personal letters from Demonic Immortals. These personal letters contained many high-ranking Demonic Immortals of Venerable Realm’s journeys and insights. Seeing these personal letters allowed Zhou Bao to realize his shortcomings and to work on them.

Miscellaneous but not refined; miscellaneous but not pure; greedy but not inferior—this was his biggest problem now.

“I have already practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Technique to the extreme. I actually mastered the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon. Now with the guidance of the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique and the Dragon Flame Technique, over time I will be able to completely perform the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon. Subsequently, the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon that emerges will be swallowed by the Dragon Chimera. Then my outer physique will certainly strengthen. Practicing the Dragon Flame Technique will be most effective. I won’t practice the Flying Sword as that would only waste time. I do need to work on my punching and hammering skills though!”

The punching and hammering skills had been discovered before at his home. But as his opportunities increased, the methods he could use also increased. He almost threw them away, but now that they crossed his mind, he felt extremely ashamed.
