603 Five Ranks of Immortals (2/2)
”The reason I, the old bastard as you said, came out of the mountain is, of course, for the sake of the Heaven Realm!” Space shivered slightly and a cattle was the first to come into view. The cattle slowly walked out of the hollow and on its back sat a hunchbacked, skinny, old man. He was gently stroking the few yellow beard hairs on his chin, and his eyes slightly closed as if no life was in him at all. If it were not for the voice coming out of him, at first glance, he looked just like a corpse.
”The Heaven Realm, hihi, how hard to come by!” The girl sneered. She seemed uncomfortable to be in the same place as him. Without further words, she simply disappeared into the hollow.
”Then take your time to find it. Let me know if you succeed!” The voice spread afar.
”Hehe, how could it be that easy? Even if you find the Transmitting Formation, you will still have a hard time in locating its specific location!” The skinny, old man heaved a sigh while his eyes were rigidly stuck to the ruins to thoroughly memorize the location of them. ”However, I can't use the direct way to ascertain the location of the Heaven Realm. But I can take the most stupid method to slowly deduce the location based on the rule of space!” The old man sighed. He raised a hand and disrupted the distribution of the ruins. Then, he spanked the butt of the cattle and disappeared from the planet.
Later, several batches of mysterious people appeared on this planet in succession but soon after disappeared. The thing interesting them the most was, naturally, the ruins. But after finding out that someone had messed with the ruins, every one of them reluctantly departed while calling names.

”You're badly injured! Are you really OK?!” Right now on the Taihua Mountain, Venerable Black Turtle was staring at the Fate Creation Boy with a worried look. Ever since he knew the Fate Creation Boy, he had never seen him being so severely injured.
”It's fine. It's just that my spirit got injured by that odd fairy weapon. Who knew there was such a strong fairy weapon in the world! Even in antiquity times, only the Jade Emperor could have one of that kind!”
”Who is the guy that hurt you? Did you figure it out?!”
”No. All I know is that his power is unfathomable. If he makes up his mind, he can easily bombard me to death even though we are separated by numerous space-times.”
”Is he that powerful?! Could he be a Human Immortal?!”
”A Human Immortal can't do that as well. Even if he were a Human Immortal who has completed the Gathering of Essence - Qi and Spirit in Acupoint, he couldn't have possessed such power!”
”It can't be! We're living in the new era! How could an Immortal still exist in this era?” Hearing the words of the Fate Creation Boy, the expression of Venerable Black Turtle suddenly became weird and his tone was filled with disbelief. ”If he really is an Immortal, then we won't bother to try and fight back because he could use just one finger and poke us to death!”
”That's quite reasonable, but we can't say that for sure!” The Fate Creation Boy said, shaking his head. ”Although there was one universal tribulation, it's certain that some Immortals are still living in the world and the hollow, including even more higher-leveled Earthly Immortals or Celestial Immortals. However, their form of existence and time of appearance must be subject to the restriction of the entire Law of Heaven and Earth. Think about it. There are Human Immortals living in the Infinite Star Sea and those two Star Areas, aren't there? But Human Immortals can't leave their macro world at will. Otherwise, they would be punished by the Void Thunder Penalty. Even Human Immortals are bound by such a restriction, let alone Immortals at higher ranks or even Earthly Immortals or Celestial Immortals. The five ranks of Immortals are namely the Celestial Immortal rank, the Earthly Immortal rank, the Divine Immortal rank, the Human Immortal rank, and the Ghost Immortal rank. Only when one reaches the Divine Immortal rank can one surpass everything. Nevertheless, the so-called surpassing is merely another form of being subject to different rules. Thus, how could we say they enjoy the true freedom? I'm afraid they're less free and comfortable than us Ghost Immortals, for at least we can fly freely in the hollow. But the only issue is that our speed is too slow. Maybe only if one fully comprehends the real Supreme Great Way and deposits oneself into the hollow can one obtain true freedom. But unfortunately, I can never reach that state. You still have a slim chance, but, hihi...”
”But my chance is even slimmer than an ant becoming a human being by practice, right?” Venerable Black Turtle did not feel annoyed despise of the Fate Creation Boy. On the contrary, he gave a self-mocking smile and said, ”I know how much I'm worth. There is little hope for me to break through into the Human Immortal phase. Being promoted to a Lord of Heaven is already my great luck!” The Mysterious Turtle Sage chuckled. ”But actually, it is the kid named Zhou Bao that I can't see through in these days. What about you?
”He does have some issues, but no big ones. Maybe he is a pawn devised by a certain might from primitive times, or maybe he is simply born to be a guy who stirs up trouble. People like us can't even have a clear look at the chessboard set up by those mights from primitive times. So, how can we recklessly give comments or speculations?”
