Chapter 549: Chapter 528 What is the Origin of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion? (4/4)

Chapter 528: What Exactly Is the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion held great influence on Xuanqian Star, not only spreading throughout the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty but also having branches fully opened in the Night Demon Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Dynasty — Zhou Heng had asked Cangao Muyue this.

At that time, Zhou Heng was very curious about how the Heavenly Treasure Pavilions of the Three Great Dynasties communicated. How capable must their overall boss be to enable branches that belonged to three different dynasties to cooperate and work together?

You should know that in these three dynasties, the employees of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were from different races, and they were even hostile to each other. Yet, they served the same business which was quite inconceivable.

Zhou Heng thought that perhaps the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was founded by an immortal who had perished. But the divine power of the immortal was powerful enough that theoretically, if undamaged, it could possess a new body and be reborn.

Therefore, originally only an immortal could establish the same business in three different dynasties. It was also for this reason that after the immortal perished, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilions of the Three Great Dynasties diligently sought the "predestined one."

They were indeed seeking to find the perished immortal to restore the former glory.

Zhou Heng had always thought this way in the past.

But there was also a Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the Immortal Realm!

Could it be just a coincidence in name?

"Zhou Heng, what’s wrong?" Yang Lanxin, seeing Zhou Heng suddenly space out, couldn’t help but ask him, thinking he had spotted some enemy and instantly became nervous.

— Although they had come to North Hai City, this did not mean they were safe. This world was immensely cruel—everything was dictated by power. If people from the Mo Family found them, what would stop them from slaughtering them right here?

The laws of Immortal City only applied to those without backing or the weak. In this Forty-Nine Immortal City, countless individuals were far more notorious than Star Sea pirates, yet each had powerful connections, so who would dare drive them out of Immortal City?

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It’s nothing; you’re just being overly anxious!"

Yang Lanxin couldn’t help but feel annoyed; this bastard knew she was startled easily yet still scared her like this, truly infuriating! She glared at Zhou Heng and said, "Then what were you pondering?"

Feeling a chill from the seductive woman’s glancing eye, Zhou Heng shivered before he managed to say, "This Heavenly Treasure Pavilion... tell me about the situation with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!"

"Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?" Yang Lanxin rolled her eyes again, but seeing the serious expression on Zhou Heng’s face, she didn’t tease him anymore and started describing the situation with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

The more Zhou Heng listened, the more astonished he became, for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the Immortal Realm also was an incredible existence!

According to Yang Lanxin, the branches of this Heavenly Treasure Pavilion permeated every corner of the Forty-Nine Immortal City. Just like the one in this place, there were at least ten thousand branches in North Hai City alone; it was the largest business in the entire Immortal Realm!

Moreover, aside from making money, these Heavenly Treasure Pavilions also had a serious responsibility, which was to find their true Pavilion Master!

Still searching?

A surge rippled through Zhou Heng’s heart. It looked like he had greatly underestimated the power of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, as well as that of the fallen immortal.

If his previous deduction was correct, then the fallen immortal must have been of a Creation Emperor’s cultivation level to monopolize the entire Forty-Nine Immortal City! Moreover, it’s possible this owner could even contend with the forces of heaven and earth like Huo Tian or the original master of Black Sword!

How many supremely powerful beings participated in that war back in the times of great chaos in the Immortal Realm?

Zhou Heng could assert, one was the original owner of Black Sword, another naturally was Huo Tian, and the third was Huo Tian’s archenemy—the statue he saw in a dojo after crashing onto a piece of the Fairy Continent on Xuanqian Star.

Unfortunately, that statue could only be seen as a woman, but the exact appearance couldn’t be discerned since the head was missing.

So, was the real owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion the fourth supreme power, or one of these three?

Huo Tian? Unlikely, for she had visited the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and showed no fondness, but rather considerable hostility towards it; this was what made Zhou Heng lose his favorable impression of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Then, could it be Huo Tian’s archenemy? Also unlikely. If so, why weren’t there any statues of this individual outside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion? However, this alone couldn’t entirely clarify the situation, because with the loss of their strongest force, surely they would be careful—would they dare openly declare whom they were searching for?

Weren’t they afraid that their old enemies would annihilate them?

Ah! How frustrating! How chaotic!

Zhou Heng felt a headache from thinking so much, harboring a strong desire to turn back a million years in time, to see the truth of that grand battle.

He pondered again, actually, the original owner of Black Sword could also potentially be the owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, because it was because of Black Sword’s movement that broke the Spirit Crystal Stone, which attracted the attention of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion towards him.

Zhou Heng pondered for a while and then said to Yang Lanxin, "Have you ever heard the name Huo Tian?"

"Huo Tian?" Yang Lanxin first showed a look of confusion, then said, "Who is this person, daring to take such a bold name! To charm the heavens, what a grand boast!"

This person was not only boastful but indeed had the strength to back it up!

Zhou Heng found it difficult to explain to Yang Lanxin, so he said, "Let’s find an inn to stay at first, and then figure out how to remove the restriction on you. We can’t keep going like this!"

Yang Lanxin naturally agreed with this suggestion. Accustomed to powerful strength, she now found herself gasping after just a few steps, an unfamiliar feeling of weakness that she found extremely uncomfortable.

The two of them found an inn to stay in, for which Zhou Heng paid ten Lower Grade Immortal Stones to cover two rooms for a month.

In the Immortal Realm, everything required Immortal Stones.

After entering the room, the first thing Zhou Heng did was to have Yang Lanxin remove that fat woman’s disguise, which he found utterly nauseating, affecting his mood and morale!

"My spiritual power is sealed, I can’t undo it!" Yang Lanxin replied very straightforwardly.

"You must have another way!" Zhou Heng said confidently, knowing that women loved beauty and would surely have several backup plans.

Yang Lanxin gave him a glance, then took out a pill from her Space Artifact and swallowed it. In just a moment, her body began to change; her extra weight evaporated like steam, rapidly revealing her charming and voluptuous body.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be moved. He pinched Yang Lanxin’s chin and smiled, "Babe, give me a smile!"

Seeing the undisguised appreciation and pleasure in Zhou Heng’s eyes, Yang Lanxin felt slightly proud. Previously, Zhou Heng had been weakened by the Charm Poison when he saw her, which deeply wounded her pride!

Now witnessing the hint of desire deep in Zhou Heng’s eyes, she knew she was playing with fire, yet she couldn’t resist showing this man her most seductive side.

A woman dresses for the one who pleases her!

"Hmm, did you have me revert to my original appearance just to bully me?" she said feigningly angered, even shaking her shoulders and making a coquettish face.

Such a demon girl!

Zhou Heng found it hard to restrain himself, his gaze becoming dangerous as he said, "Don’t play with fire, or I might devour you!"

"Would you dare?" Yang Lanxin snorted, her nose wrinkled in a scornful expression.

"Wouldn’t I?" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, then swiftly pressed against Yang Lanxin’s body and pinned her against the wall.

Their bodies tightly pressed together, each could feel the heat emanating from the other.

Huff! Huff!

Zhou Heng’s heavy breathing sprayed on Yang Lanxin’s pretty face, causing a blush to spread across her cheeks, making her look even more stunning and dripping with allure, as if a pinch could squeeze water out of her. He lowered his head and aimed for Yang Lanxin’s red lips.

Yang Lanxin dodged once, then again, but in such a confined space, where could she really escape to? Amidst a soft moan, Zhou Heng captured her lips, her entire delicate body trembling slightly, as if from excitement and perhaps fear.

Under Zhou Heng’s skilled kissing, she soon lost herself, passionately returning his kisses, her gaze hazy and her body burning hot.

"Stop—" she voiced a weak resistance.

Zhou Heng’s eyes burned with desire. Although he had vented on Mo Yuyan earlier, it had not completely cleared the Charm Poison. Though no longer affecting his consciousness, it made him more impulsive.

"Why?" he asked.

"I don’t want to give myself to you under these circumstances!" Yang Lanxin’s face was flushed with desire, and indeed her emotions surged like fire, but a sliver of rationality made her halt.

Though she presented herself as flirty and seductive, it was just an exterior; deep inside, she maintained a firm boundary. Her first time... she had resolved to give only on her wedding night to her husband.

Zhou Heng breathed heavily, his desire intense. If he forced himself now, the current Yang Lanxin had no capability to stop him. Yet the very thing he despised most was abusing women, how could he be such a man?

— Mo Yuyan’s submission was of her own doing, and for this, he felt no guilt.
