Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 496: Strange Changes to Incarnation

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In this world, nobody knew that he owned the Second Primordial Spirit and an Outer-body Incarnation; even Wang She and Green Spirit were not aware of this. His body was out in the Wuyang Region welcoming the arrival of the different Lords, while his incarnation was thousands of miles away in Zhuzhao City. He was not here for leisure, he was here to release the prescription for the Bone-Forging Pill and Pulse Setting Pill.

The prescriptions for both the Bone-Forging Pill and Pulse-setting Pill were very precious. If they were lost, the effects would be worse than them being picked up from the ground by a stranger. It goes without saying that this effect would be too small. By right, when one picked up a prescription, he would keep it safe like his own treasure. He would keep it to himself only and enjoy it alone. Hence, whether it would even be leaked out was unknown.

He had been hiding the prescriptions for so many years. Apart from him, who else had known about it?

Not a single person.

So, releasing this secret would just create a mini chaos. It would definitely not cause any huge problems in the short run. In order to create more chaos, the situation had to be magnified. Of course, there were certain limitations and considerations to follow. If not, he might be exposed. Hence, Zhou Bao thought long and hard about it, before deciding to head for Zhuzhao City.

Zhuzhao City was located in South China, far away from the center of Jin. However, because it was the territory of Sect of Flame, the influence of the imperial court there was very weak. Hence, each influence placed many spies and secret agents here, so as to gain first-hand information on any incidents occurring here.

On the other hand, they were merely spies. None of them had any decent skills. They would be considered weak. It was due to this that Zhou Bao decided on this place. While he could attract the attention of the people around, there would also be no big incidents.

The unfortunate Vice Gang Chief of the Thunder Fire Gang was his first target. Zhou Bao had been spying on him for many days before deciding to choose him as the victim.

He was called Zha the Second, and was just a Junior Master in Level Four. He was an ordinary person, but Zhou Bao noticed that he collected old books. That was surprising because he had a big build, a hairy mole, was a pervert and did all kinds of evil stuff. Who knew that he had a streak of refinement in him? Using this reason, Zhou Bao found a breakthrough point.

At first, Zhou Bao pretended to start a fight with him over a book at a Book Fair. As the number one bully of the city, Zha the Second did not let this incident go easily. He got his book in the end. That night, Zhou Bao sneaked into Thunder Fire Gang and had a “so called fight” with him. He killed him and stole the book. Meanwhile the Thunder Fire Gang found some “clues” left behind in his room. They used the clues to trace them immediately.

Zhou Bao, on the other hand, was very bold. He snuck back to Zhuzhao City even though the security was very tight. This piece of information was very important.

“Chief, do you think what the fellow from Immortal Inn said was true?”

Right now at the headquarters of Thunder Fire Gang, a tall and tanned man who appeared to be very anxious and worried, looked at the middle-aged man who was seated comfortably.

“He will not dare lie to us!” This middle-aged man was the Gate Master of Thunder Fire Gang. His cultivation was already at Level Five, and he was one of the masters of martial arts of the city. He was a very calm and sturdy man; it had taken him over 20 years to develop the Thunder Fire Gang from a small gang on the streets to what it was today – one of the four giants of the city. He was considered as one of the strongest pillars of the gang.

“Then what are we waiting for?” “Let’s go and surround the Immortal Inn and get the prescription back,” the brute shouted.

“Why are you panicking?” The middle-aged man looked at him and said,” Third, we cannot afford to be hasty now. I have to think this through carefully!”

“Eldest brother, what is there to think about? Second elder brother had already been killed by him. Even if there’s no prescription, there is already bad blood between us. We have to kill the guy to avenge his death! Furthermore, he has the treasure in his hands. If other people should get hold of it first, our efforts would be wasted!”

There was an underlying meaning in the brute’s words. They were not the biggest sects in Zhuzhao City; there were three other influences. Two of them were very much like them, following the Sect of Flame. Even so, they had different interests. Furthermore, when Thunder Fire Gang was rising in power, they became enemies with the other two. Now that they were in trouble, their enemies would surely be aware of it.

If they discovered the truth, then it would be very difficult for Thunder Fire Gang to gain any benefits.

In actual fact, the Chief was not thinking about this problem. Hearing the shouts, he looked like his mind was focused on something else. “Third, get the scholar to copy the prescription at once; then send it to Elder Wen and explain to him in detail about the incident!”

“What? Why?” When he heard those words, the brute stood up abruptly. He shouted at the middle-aged man, “Brother, this is…!”

“We are not equipped to handle this!” The middle-aged man looked at him and said quietly,”I’ve taken a look at the prescription for the Bone-Forging Pill; the ingredients are very rare. We may be able to find them all, but even with our influence, it would be impossible to get hold of such a large quantity all at once. If one Bone-Forging Pill alone would require so many ingredients, then the Pulse-Setting Pill would require even more. Keeping this would not bring us any benefits, it would only bring trouble to us instead!”

“But…!”

“Okay, there is nothing more to be said. I’ve already decided,” the middle-aged man said determinedly.

He knew this brother well. When it came to fighting, there was nothing to say. However, when it came to decisive thoughts, there was a great difference between him and Zha the Second.

“Alright!” The brute saw his determined look and knew that he had made his decision. He did not argue anymore and departed like a gust of wind.

“Strange, strange, this incident is very strange indeed. Since his power is so strong, then why didn’t he just snatch the prescription from Second Elder at the bookshop? Why did he give it to him instead and then come back to kill him? I just can’t figure this out. Did he perhaps have a reason for this? Then what’s his purpose?” The middle-aged man thought of Zhou Bao’s actions and found the whole incident too strange for words. It was a pity that he was not Zhou Bao and did not know what was in his mind. Naturally, he would not be able to figure out what was actually happening.

Zhou Bao’s Dragon Chimera incarnation was sitting in the main room in the Immortal Inn. It looked like a wooden statue. Only the eyes had a faint light in them.

Suddenly, its eyes flashed with a creepy green light. With a ‘whoosh’, it turned into a black spot and disappeared from the room. The prescription on the table, with the ink still wet, fluttered in the breeze.

Northwest, Wuyang Region

Zhou Bao sat cross-legged on the stone bed. In a flash, a thought seemed to hit him and he opened his eyes. Instantly he shot out two bolt-like light rays, hitting a target about ten feet away from him.

In the distant southern sky, a black light quivered violently and immediately disappeared into his body. Zhou Bao took a deep breath and his whole body started to emit strands of faint black smoke. That black light was his Dragon Chimera incarnation. He was totally taken aback by its return.

He had not expected this at all. He had planned to make use of this incarnation to create a ruckus in Zhuzhao City. He was not even aware of this. It had happened so suddenly during his practice. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and the incarnation in Zhuzhao City had sensed unusual movements in his body. Hence, it returned immediately.

This was why Zhou Bao was troubled. After refining the Second Primordial Spirit, he was still not fully skilled in controlling it yet. In reality, the cultivation of the Second Primordial Spirit was extremely high. It had already reached the peak of Mysterious Realm. It was very powerful in terms of combat capability as well. It would not be at a disadvantage even when facing an expert from Venerable Realm. However, when he used it, he always felt uncomfortable. He always felt like something was not quite right whenever he controlled it.

This feeling was not due to the unfamiliarity between the body and the incarnation. It was the exact opposite; they matched each other too well, so much so that the Divine Senses and Dharma power owned by Zhou Bao and Dragon Chimera were all fused together. This meant that their contact became even closer. However, it also meant that they would be more likely to have an adverse effect on each other. Currently, Zhou Bao was exploring the Dragon Flame Technique he obtained from the Sea Area. It somehow became entangled with his understanding of Dragon Chimera Fire. Hence, his incarnation felt a telepathic connection and flew back on its own.

“This cannot go on!” Zhou Bao said coldly and a creepy red light flashed in his eyes. “My body has possessed the Real Body of Zhuyan. Looks like the Dragon Flame Technique is not that compatible. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this huge misunderstanding, such as sending my incarnation back to me from thousands of miles away! This is too embarrassing!”

He felt the Real Essense and Dharma power in his body boiling furiously. Some were infusing and some were clashing with each other. Dragon Chimera’s Demonic Fire, Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique’s Real Essence and Dharma power, as well as Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique – all these were water-based infusions. However, Zhou Bao still possessed the mysterious Dharma power of Innate Deity in his body. He also practiced the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit and the Demonic Qi of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. These things, when combined, may be very powerful, but when he concentrated on practicing, it could make him lose his focus. This had happened earlier, when he was practicing the Dragon Flame Technique. He was almost possessed by the demon. If the incarnation had not come back in time to save him, he would have died from the clash between Zhuyan Demonic Qi and Dragon Chimera Demonic Fire.

“Seems like I have to make up my mind!” Zhou Bao sighed to himself. He straightened up and spat out a black flame. Suddenly a black light appeared behind him. A ball of black qi formed a dark cloud and hovered above his head. In the cloud, a pearl that flashed with a creepy green light could be seen. Around the pearl was the shadow of Primitive Dragon Chimera.

After Zhou Bao had spat out that black flame, the shadow on the pearl shook violently. Then, it pounced onto the ball of red flames with the speed of a lightning bolt. At the same time, Zhou Bao opened his mouth and again spat out another ball of substantial black flame. It enveloped the pearl and the shadow in no time.
