Chapter 868: Sky-walking Emperor, Father and SonTranslator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao did not expect the Fifth Manor to be absent at such an important time. But come to think of it, it was not hard to understand why they did so. Zhou Bao himself seemingly sunk in this Dharma Ending Tribulation saga. He could not control how the Fifth Manor thought.

“Seems like I have to find another place.” Zhou Bao said, sighing to himself. Zhou Bao felt the Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain to be the safest place in the whole Immortal Realm. But now, it seemed like his plan failed.

Since he could not expect the Fifth Manor to be of assistance anymore, he placed his hopes on the other side – Wang She.

He refused to roam around in the Void Immortal Realm as he was unfamiliar. If he happened to intrude into the wrong place, he would be in deep trouble.

Hence, after leaving Longevity Mountain, the first thing he did was to seek out Wang She.

“You’ve attained the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique and want to find a place to practice? The Fifth Manor is missing?”

Wang She felt overloaded with information. “You killed two Crown Princes!”

“No! Only one! The other one has been constrained by me!” Zhou Bao did not try to hide anything. “I used the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy to seal him. This is not the Treasure-snatching Rock, I worried once I freed him, the Jade Emperor Sage would sense his spirit and locate him!”

“Of course such would be the case! Did you believe you’re still in the human world? How daring of you! According to what I know, the Jade Emperor Palace acts crazy recently. Almost half of the Earthly Immortals left the palace to find and kill you. You’re currently the number one target of the palace!”

“The number one target of the palace!” A sensation tugged at Zhou Bao’s heart, but instantly subsided. He laughed, “This Immortal Realm is not run by him, do his words even count?”

“Although the Immortal Realm is not run by the palace, the Jade Emperor is one of the three remaining Celestial Immortals in the Immortal Realm. He holds much greater influence than the area of control the palace possesses. Many influences in the Immortal Realm listen to what he says. Even if they don’t, he has ways to make them do so. Hence, don’t believe the Immortal Realm is big! There aren’t many places you can hide. If I were you, I would either go to Eye of the Storm or Chaotic Poisonous Sea. In the Immortal Realm, only these two have the capabilities to keep you safe. If you want to practice in peace, you can only do so in these two’s territories. However-”

“However what?”

“However, their territories are not good places. Be it Eye of the Storm or Chaotic Poisonous Sea, they’re known for being places of chaos. Even Earthly Immortals would be unwilling to journey to those places!”

“Perhaps there’s another place that I can go.”

“Don’t think about going to the ruins of the Sacred City of Fate! That place is like a holy city to those from the human world, especially for the Fate Creators. But for the Emperors in the Immortal Realm who are also Earthly Immortals, it’s not much. You have to understand, all Earthly Immortals can refine their own macro world and become the Fate Creators of it. There is no obstruction between them and the ruins of the Sacred City of Fate. It is merely a land of ruins to them, which is why no one ventures there. If you went there, I can promise that that place will be flooded with Earthly Immortals within three days. Even the Jade Emperor Sage himself would come for you. You’ll have no chance of escape!”

“That’s to say, I’m only left with Eye of the Storm and Chaotic Poisonous Sea to choose from.”

“That’s right! You can only choose from those two, but you have another problem to ponder.”

“And that is?”

“Escape from the chasing and killing! Be it the Eye of the Storm or the Chaotic Poisonous Sea, they’re both 10,000 miles away from here. It is too far. Under the law of space of the Immortal Realm, you cannot rip open spaces to forward. You also cannot use your Supreme Fairy Weapon. I promise you, once you draw it, the Jade Emperor Sage will notice. Hence, your only choice is to hide your body and proceed slowly. You won’t be able to travel quickly. Even if things progress smoothly, you’ll need at least two to three years to arrive at your destination. Can you wait that long?”

“You surely jest!” Zhou Bao almost jumped from the news. He just attained the last technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques and was so eager to find a place to practice it. Now, Wang She informed him it took two to three years to reach a safe place. This was too much for Zhou Bao to handle.

“Isn’t there a Transmitting Formation in the Immortal Realm?” Zhou Bao asked. “I can use the Transmitting Formation to get there!”

“These are two individual places, the Transmitting Formation cannot get you there!” Wang She said lightly. “Eye of the Storm and Chaotic Poisonous Sea are not connected to the outside world. If you want to go there, you must do so on foot!”

“It can’t be that troublesome!”

“Hmph, that’s the Celestial Immortals’ territory, did you think it’d be so easy to gain entrance?”

“There must be a quicker way on earth!”

“Yes there is! I know a person who can assist you reach those two places in no time. However, it is not easy to communicate with them!”

“Forget about that! Who is he? Where is he located?”

“The Sky-walking Emperor is a strong practitioner who had entered the Earthly Immortal’s Way for tens of thousands of years. He already practiced the Great Way of Heavens and Realms of the 3,000 Great Ways until perfection. He can still find the weak points of the law of space in a spacetime like the Immortal Realm’s. Although he cannot journey to the two places whenever he wished, just like in the human world, it is still not a difficult feat for him. He can help you to save ten times the duration of the distance.”

“Ten times! That means, even if the Sky-walking Emperor agrees to help me, I’ll still need two to three months to arrive at my destination!”

“This is the only way. Besides, you have to get moving soon in order to stop the people from Jade Emperor Palace from finding him first. If not, you’ll be in a dire situation!”

“Where is this Sky-walking Emperor?”

“I’ll bring you there.”

Immortal Realm, Jade Emperor Palace.

In the dark crowd of palaces, divine Qi surged everywhere. The fairy fighters rushed through the palace in an orderly manner. A small quiet hut was located in the deep corners of the seemingly endless palace. Two middle-aged men sat across each other in the hut. One of them had a contemplative expression on his face. His gaze was full of energy and hid a sense of omnipotence. The other man emitted a sinister energy from his entire body. Him sitting there warped everything like a black hole, capturing the light and heat from his surroundings, as if he was going to devour all things in the world.

The two of them sat like that quietly. After a period of time, the contemplative middle-aged man sighed. “I will kill that Zhou Bao!”

“Just because he killed your two sons?” The middle-aged man emitting dark energy said, lifting his head slightly. A sinister smile spread across his emotionless face. “Don’t forget, it was your son who wanted to kill him first in order to steal his fate, and become a Tribulation Taker.”

“What’s the point of saying all this to one who is not even an Earthly Immortal?!” The contemplative man said coldly. “Besides, this is not the reason why I wanted to kill him. As a Tribulation Taker, his fate is too strong. Now that he also gained Huang Lei’s fate, he might become uncontrollable if left unchecked.”

“Uncontrollable? You people who practice the Way of the Emperor all like to be in complete control. You lot go after those that you cannot make subservient. I almost forgot about this.” The other man seemed to have thought of something and his sinister smile intensified. “Too bad, Jade Emperor Sage. You will never gain total control. You used to be able to control the whole of the human world. But now, we are in the Immortal Realm. You can only control your mini scale territory. You can never gain total control over the other two sage’s territory, as well as over the vast Immortal Realm.”

“What if I can, but you just cannot see it?” Jade Emperor Sage smiled. “I have already spread word of the news. Other than those two territories, does Zhou Bao have any other place to hide? See? This means I control the majority of the Immortal Realm? There are various measures to achieve the same purpose.”

“Back then, you used this method to enter the Celestial Immortal Realm. Hmmm, control… measures… these things I do not understand. It is your credit for understanding the Celestial Immortal’s Way. But this time around, why do you need me? Is this Zhou Bao really worth such drastic measures?”

“He is indeed worth it. He is the Tribulation Taker with the brightest fate and strongest capabilities. I believe he has already acquired all of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. As long as he practices them successfully, he will be difficult to handle even if he doesn’t step into the Earthly Immortal’s Realm. I’m unable to take action now, but you don’t have many options.”

“Zhou Bao and I don’t have anything against each other, so it seems futile for us to engage in combat. Also, you’ve said so yourself, he possesses an incredibly powerful fate. Men like him are not easy to defeat. If I happen to have bad fate and end up in his hands, all my years of cultivation would go to waste.”

“Are you trying to negotiate with me?”

“No, I’m rejecting you!” The emotionless middle-aged man stood up. “I will not fight Zhou Bao!”

“Don’t you desire his fate and his Seven Wonderful Techniques? By seizing them, you’ll have the chance of stepping into the Celestial Immortal Realm! You can even become the Omnipotent Sage of this era! Don’t you want that?”

“This must be your trickery, Jade Emperor Sage! You’re enticing me with what others own. You do not wish for me to become the Omnipotent Sage, you merely desire an Omnipotent Sage you can manipulate!” The emotionless middle-aged man laughed coldly. “Just like how you controlled that bunch of necromancers back then!”

Jade Emperor burst into laughter. “Are you so fearful of me, brat? So much so that you don’t even want me to hear me out and would leave with such haste?”
