“I am an independent practitioner who came here to find the Divine Fate at the Rock Cliff Sect. But there are many dangers among the remnants of the Rock Cliff Sect, so I respectfully ask if my brother would want to accompany me and work with me to find the divine fate?”
Work together to find the Divine Fate.
This kind of situation was almost unimaginable in the Void Universe. The practitioners in the Void Universe did not trust one another as it was common for them to steal from and kill one another. This was because the resources were scarce, so everybody fought and stole.
However, it was different in the Immortal Realm. There were far more resources available here than in the Void Universe and the practitioners had not really explored the entire realm.
Zhou Bao now knew that the Void Immortal Realm had been created by an ancient Celestial Immortal Taoist Jin. However, this magical world was not merely created out of thin air and sufficient materials had to be sourced for its creation. The Taoist Jin understood this very well and during the Primordial Origin in the original space where the heavens were formed, the Void Immortal Realm arose.
Huge, ancient and full of magic.
Practitioners did not have the same sense of urgency when they practiced here, unlike those in the Void Universe. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than that in the Human World. Everyone was on cordial terms and had good relationships with each other.
Furthermore, since primitive times, countless powers had existed in the Void Immortal Realm, which meant there were countless ruins and almost every day a new one opened. Each one had a gargantuan Divine Fate. Because the territory here was so big, all the rules and the Dharma were very strict, so it was not that noticeable.
It was because of these endless resources that the relationships between the practitioners were so relaxed. Even though not everybody knew each other, they had plenty of opportunities to cooperate.
After countless years, many unwritten rules had come into being in the Immortal Realm. In the eyes of practitioners coming from the Human world, people such as the man in front of Zhou Bao were a little odd. They either had an evil plan in mind or was simply courting death.
However, Zhou Bao knew from previous information passed to him by Wang She that this behavior was the norm in the Immortal Realm.
It was different in the Human World and its countless hidden rules. If someone came up to you, it was a certainty that it was not done at the spur of the moment. They would have certainly come thoroughly prepared and would already have a contract in their hand. Zhou Bao only needed to sign this temporary cooperation contract and the cooperation would be acknowledged and protected by the whole Immortal Realm.
Yes, that’s right, protected!
This was a very clear agreement on the rights and obligations of both parties, a contract as detailed as it could ever be. Anything you could think of was spelled out in the contract and in a fair way for both parties. Zhou Bao had seen this type of agreement before where Wang She was, so he did not look at it much. He thought about it for a second and agreed.
The best way for him to hide his identity as a tribulation taker was to assimilate with the Immortal Realm practitioners. There were hordes of independent practitioners here, so blending in with them was like being a drop of water in the ocean. So long as Zhou Bao was careful, it would be very difficult to find him.
After he signed the contract, Zhou Bao was now that practitioner’s teammate. This time, Zhou Bao did not use the Taoist Cundi name. The Void Immortal Realm understood the Human World far more than the people of the Human World could imagine, and so it was no longer a secret that he was Taoist Cundi.
“With my poor Taoist bodhi, I’m afraid I don’t know what my brother’s honorable name is?”
“Haha, it’s not an honorable name. I am also an independent practitioner, Wang Shang!” This Wang Shang laughed mischievously. Having signed the contract with Zhou Bao, the two of them were teammates at least until the Rock Cliff Sect remnants were finished. What was more, they were teammates who could trust each other.
“This contract is interesting. It contains some mystical powers. Although they are very minute, they are different from that of the current system of powers. They are somewhat similar to the powers of the era of the ancient deities. Wang She had also mentioned that this type of contract had been passed down from the ancient deities. It seems that the powers of the ancient deities were quite strange!”
Rock Cliff City was different from the cities of the Immortal Realm passageways. Inside it were many fragments of space. Therefore, when these ruins were opened, it did not seem at all crowded, despite that countless practitioners had come to encounter the Divine Fate.
Coincidentally, the Rock Cliff Sect remnants were just opening as Zhou Bao and Wang Shang entered the city.
This so-called opening of the relics was actually a fluctuation produced by the space of the relics, creating countless passageways to the main space of the Immortal Realm. Some of these passageways were like black holes, some were just a beam of light, and quite a few even burst open directly on the mountainside.
Zhou Bao and Wang Shang did not hesitate. They exchanged a look and stepped into one of the passageways.
At first it was dark. Then suddenly it became bright and they both gasped when they saw the scene before them.
Before them was a broken world, or rather, fragments of a broken world.
The Dharma had been completely shattered and the space was very disorderly.
Mountains, water, trees, and even corpses, were partially hanging in the air.
Because the Dharma had changed totally, some strange living creatures had appeared inside this broken world. Zhou Bao and Wang Shang paid no attention to these. As peculiar as they were, they had no powers. They were just abnormal creatures and were of no value at all.
“Our goal is the treasure left behind by the Rock Cliff Sect Elders in their own macro worlds. This treasure should be at the center of the worlds. In that era, every Earthly Immortal liked to build a palace in the center of his macro world. They liked to control everything and so in these palaces there may be many inhibitions. Even Earthly Immortals can be easily trapped. I have heard that Earthly Immortals are also among those explorers that have died there.”
“Well, we’d better be careful, then!” Zhou Bao nodded in agreement.
The remains of the Rock Cliff Sect were situated in a very strange place. Because the Rock Cliff Sect had been destroyed, dozens of Earthly Immortal Elders had been wiped out by the Celestial Immortals. The macro worlds refined by Earthly Immortals were not isolated. These ten macro worlds were blended into one by the force of the Celestial Immortal Dharma power. Therefore, the Law of Space in these macro worlds was very strange and very hard to fathom.
By now, countless practitioners had also entered these ruins. Like Zhou Bao and Wang Shang, they were very cautious. Many monks had disappeared after they entered.
“They all seemed worried and in a hurry!”
“Yes, that is to be expected. The Rock Cliff Sect Relics had been discovered so long ago and had opened so many times, that there are no longer any secrets left. If they wanted to find something useful, they have to just go for it before someone else takes it!” Wang Shang smiled. “So many sects have inheritances connected to these relics, so there is a very clear objective for many people!”
“My brother, you seem very familiar with these remnants. It appears you have your own objective?” Zhou Bao probed.
“Of course. My goal is to find a Heavenly Fairy Weapon left behind by the chief First Elder of the Rock Cliff Sect. I also know where the Sun and Moon Wheel is!” Wang Shang said, smiling. He was not bothered in the least about revealing his objective. Zhou Bao would not be able to fight with him over it, because that eventuality was addressed in the contract and Zhou Bao would not go against it.
“My goal is not to find any treasure but to find the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique. I heard that this incantation last appeared in the Immortal Realm, in the Rock Cliff Sect. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find it.”
“The Heaven and Earth Secret Technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques?” Wang Shang was surprised. “What are you going to do with that incantation? You are not a tribulation taker!”
“No, I’m not a tribulation taker. But I could kill one!” Zhou Bao suddenly gave a sinister smile. “In other words, there is no rule that says only tribulation takers can practice this incantation!”
“Do you want to learn the practice of the Jade Emperor Palace?” Wang Shang’s frown grew. “That’s almost impossible! Each one of those tribulation takers has a very good fate. Even the Jade Emperor Palace has only succeeded in killing two and they still lost two Crown Princes. The fate of the tribulation takers is very curious.”
“So long as I am fully prepared, there is no chance!” Zhou Bao said readily as if he was really set on killing a tribulation taker. “As long as the Immortal Realm has a complete Heaven and Earth Secret Technique and Zhou Bao practices his Seven Wonderful Techniques to the maximum, then he will inevitably find this Way. I will first capture this Way and gain authority to use it. Do you think I am one of those mindless Crown Princes? You may think that I am a Celestial Immortal successor. It is so arrogant not to make any preparations but to go and cause trouble with the tribulation takers.”
“Whether you are like one of those Crown Princes or not, you’d better take it easy. Since ancient times, most of those who have done right by the tribulation takers did not gain from it. Most of them just became stepping stones!” Wang Shang advised him with every good intention.
“If you don’t try, how would you know?” Zhou Bao smiled. “Maybe those tribulation takers can become my stepping stone to the Celestial Immortal’s Way!”
“You’re crazy!” At this point, Wang Shang regretted teaming up with this guy without first being clear about his situation. This guy might have been powerful, but he was also insane in wanting to cause trouble with the tribulation takers. Maybe he really did consider himself a Jade Emperor Crown Prince? Assuming he was, then it was still uncertain if he could defeat a tribulation taker.
“Okay then. We’ll cooperate. Go and find your Sun and Moon Wheel and I’ll go and find my Heaven and Earth Secret Technique. Let’s not waste any more time!” Having gained no result, Zhou Bao ended their conversation.
