Chapter 704: See the Sea Emperor, A Hidden Danger in the Heaven Realm World
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
As legend had it, the Sea Emperor was indeed trapped in an unknown space. The space was one of the many infinite spaces that surrounded the Heaven Realm World, and was filled with turbulent energy.
With the return of Fate Creation Boy, although the Fairy Weapon of Fate had not been unified yet, the infinite spaces had become more orderly. A huge protective formation was taking shape within these spaces and it was a tremendous formation. Now there was only a part of the formation there, but Zhou Bao clearly sensed the difference after he entered the infinite spaces.
Due to the disorder at the previous infinite spaces, ordinary practitioners would have no way to go in it, but Zhou Bao had never felt any pressure. Even if he encountered some strange spaces, they had no effect on him. Upon entering the infinite spaces this time, Zhou Bao saw a passage constructed out of the countless spaces. What was incredible was that there was only one access to the unknown space. It meant that whoever was trapped in the infinite spaces was bound to enter this strange passage, and he or she had no choice but to follow it. Zhou Bao’s eyes twitched as he thought of where this passage led, for it led to the hollow beyond the Heaven Realm World. In other words, the passage lead to the exit point.
“How did this place become like this? Fate Creation Boy must have done it on purpose.” Glancing around, Zhou Bao said to himself.
“Now it’s like a macro world. The original infinite spaces were too scattered; it could not block people at the Lords of Heaven Realm, or bring benefits to the Heaven Realm World.” Walking through the passage, Prime Minister Wan told Zhou Bao about it as if he was very familiar with the area.
“Have you been here before, Prime Minister Wan?”
“Yes, in the antiquity times. At that time, the Fairy Weapon of Fate was not separated into three pieces, and the infinite spaces of the Heaven Realm World were the most perfect.” Prime Minister Wan sighed, “Alas, the Heaven Realm World has been in serious decline, and even with the restoration of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, it’s still far inferior from what it was before in the antiquity times!”
Looking at Prime Minister Wan’s rueful look, Zhou Bao was slightly surprised. “You’re a practitioner from the antiquity times, Prime Minister Wan? Please excuse my ignorance.”
“Is a practitioner from the antiquity times that great?” Prime Minister Wan laughed at himself, “We just live longer than the average people. But my strength remains the same. After achieving the Realm of Human Immortal, and gathering the Three Flowers above the Head with painstaking efforts, no matter how hard I tried, I have not been able to collect the Five Qis in the Chest.”
“The Three Flowers above the Head!” Zhou Bao understood his words. According to Fate Creation Boy’s classification of practice, Prime Minister Wan should be a Rank Fourth Human Immortal. That meant he had three more lives than the average person. People like him were already the best in the Heaven Realm World, even stronger than the Old Weirdoes of those super sects in the Seven-deity Regions, because at most those Old Weirdoes reached the second rank of the Human Immortal, and only gathered one of the Three Flowers above the Head. Any Prime Minister in the Sea Area could sweep the Seven-deity Regions, without any regard for the fairy weapon, of course. However, considering how long they had lived, Zhou Bao believed they would definitely have fairy weapons. The Sea Area was, after all, famous for its abundance.
“Three Flowers above the Head and Five Qis in the Chest aren’t easy to practice. Luckily I underwent the Void Thunder Tribulation and ascended to the Realm of Human Immortal, but now I haven’t even gathered a single flower!”
“You’re in a different situation!” Prime Minister Wan shook his head slightly and said, “You have the Bloodline of Zhuyan which is one of the Six Royals. Your combat capability is amazing. You know, the Primordial Fierce Beast has mighty instincts and doesn’t need to practice its phase. As a Human Immortal, cooperating with the instinct of Zhuyan, you can display the combat capability as powerful as an Immortal, which none of us can compare with. And even if I have four more lives, I still can’t beat you!”
“You’re too modest, Prime Minister Wan!” Zhou Bao smiled. As they talked, they went further and further in. Gradually, however, the straight passage, whose end could be clearly seen by Zhou Bao, began to change, and a forked passage appeared in front of them.
“Eh? How interesting!” When Zhou Bao saw the forked passage suddenly appearing before them, his eyes held a steely look. He didn’t think he could do this. What he was adept at was destruction, not creation.
“Please, King Wuyang!” Seeing the passage’s appearance, Prime Minister Wan suddenly turned very serious, and reached out his hand to show Zhou Bao the way.
“Eh, Prime Minister Wan, aren’t you coming with me?” Seeing his movements, Zhou Bao had a strange feeling.
“His Majesty only wants to see you. I’m not so honored!” A bitter smile registered on Prime Minister Wan’s face. “This passage will lead you to His Majesty!”
“I see!” Zhou Bao nodded, without asking any further questions as it was clear that this was related to the privacy of the Sea Area; it would be impolite to continue asking. Thus, Zhou Bao just smiled and walked down the forked passage.
This passageway was straight, and Zhou Bao could see clearly that there was a damp, dark cave at the end of it.
“Is this the place where the Sea Emperor is imprisoned? But why is there not a whiff of inhibition, and why is there such free access?” Within a few breaths, Zhou Bao had stepped into this mysterious place that had imprisoned the Sea Emperor, one of the ancient 99 Emperors, who was at the Realm of Earthly Immortal.
“Well, are you wondering why I’m being held in such a place?”
As Zhou Bao looked around, a clear voice sounded in his ear. He looked up and saw an extremely handsome young man dressed in blue, before him. The man smiled faintly and looked at Zhou Bao with great interest.
The man had absolute strength!
Although the young man in blue looked quite ordinary except for his good looks, Zhou Bao didn’t dare to underestimate him. The fact that this man managed to appear before Zhou Bao so silently without him noticing showed that he was much stronger than Zhou Bao was.
But Zhou Bao was not surprised. After all, the man was one of the ancient 99 Emperors, an Earthly Immortal and an old fogey. Even if Zhou Bao was an incredibly lucky time-travel hero and had a chance encounter with such a character, he would usually keep such people at a distance, and would not want to be compared with him.
“I do wonder. This place doesn’t look easy to open. You’re so powerful, but why are you imprisoned here?”
“If I had known the reason, I would have gone out already!” The young man in blue forced a smile.
“Don’t you know either?”
“I only know a little, but you’re not here to help me out, right?” The young man in blue smiled, “Since you’re not helping me, I don’t want to say things that will make me feel bad. Let’s get down to business!”
“Okay!” Zhou Bao wasn’t a procrastinator. “Your Majesty, you should know why I’m here. I just want to know how you can give me the Ranking of Demons and Immortals?”
“What if I am not willing to give it to you?”
“Then I’ll leave right now!” Zhou Bao said directly.
“Hehe, you’re really straightforward!” The Sea Emperor smiled, “You are really powerful, but at best your combat capability is at the top of the Immortal. With the Supreme Fairy Weapon, the Real Body of Zhuyan and the Frost Giant Bloodline, you still can’t beat an Earthly Immortal. So, you made the right choice!” His few words debunked all of Zhou Bao’s bluff, without leaving him anything to save his face. Zhou Bao smiled bitterly, “You’re a discerning man, Your Majesty. I admire you!”
“It’s not worth mentioning. I might be in prison, but there’s nothing about the Heaven Realm World that has been concealed from me. Even Fate Creation Boy knows less about the Heaven Realm World than I do!” Sea Emperor shook his head, spread out his hand, and a scroll appeared in it. Then he carelessly threw it into Zhou Bao’s hands. “This is the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Take it!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Zhou Bao took the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, thought of something and then saluted the Sea Emperor. “I’m going to take my leave now!” Then he turned away.
“Are you kidding?”
It was not until Zhou Bao was about to leave this damp and stuffy cave that Sea Emperor cried out, “Hey, you’re really good at acting shamelessly!”
“No, not really, I’m too excited because of the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Please forgive my gaffe, Your Majesty!” Zhou Bao turned around and lied calmly.
“You’re too excited? Overlook your gaffe? Hmm, that’s a good excuse. If that is the case, I will no longer stand on ceremony. You can take the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, but you have to do something for me!”
“As long as it is within my power, I will do my best!”
“Within your power? Do your best? Damn, you’re so sneaky!” The Sea Emperor muttered in a low voice, “The bastard Jade Emperor did everything possible to move the Heaven Realm World to the Desolate Ancient Star Area so as to hide the Heaven Realm World. But it cannot be hidden now, for an idiot broke open the passage to the Void Immortal Realm when he underwent the Void Thunder Tribulation, causing the will of the Void Immortal Realm to leak into the hollow. You’re responsible for that, right?”
“Yes, I am. I really regret doing such an idiotic thing!”
“There is no need for such deference, but there is a need to remedy the situation!” The Sea Emperor rolled his eyes at Zhou Bao’s insincerity and went on, “When the Fairy Weapon of Fate becomes one again and Fate Creation Boy returns, the defense of the Heaven Realm World will increase greatly. Then it will be extremely difficult for the Lords of Heaven from the outside world to enter the Heaven Realm World. As long as the other macro worlds does not attack the Heaven Realm World, the Heaven Realm World will be safe. But now there is a hidden danger inside the Heaven Realm World that must be taken care of!”
