695 In the Fifth Manor (1/2)
When it came to climbing up the social ladder, it wasn't just doing great things one day and climbing the next one. It was a far more complex task that required constant effort and results in order the be successful.
This time around, the Heaven Realm World was coveted by an alien world. It was set for the Fairy Weapon of Fate to be split into three. According to the initial result, it was without doubt that Fate Creation Boy was going to become the only Fate Creator. However, his power was so weak and the human heart was so full of desire and greed that anything could happen.
A Fate Creator possessed the ultimate authority to control the whole Heaven Realm World. The fate creator could even enter the Void Immortal Realm if he was good enough. No one was willing to give up on such benefits.
With profits came competition. The higher the profits, the greater the competition.
More than one influence was eyeing on the throne. Hence, even if Fate Creation Boy was a Fate Creator, they still dared to take up the challenge.
The Fairy Weapon of Fate was to be split into three and given to three different people. This was no good news for Fate Creation Boy, who was the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate. It was his own body, having it split into three would naturally cause his power to decrease tremendously. Hence, when all the big influences in the Heaven Realm World expressed their interest in becoming the Fate Creator, Fate Creation Boy was so powerless he could only seek for external help.
And Zhou Bao happened to be his best choice.
However, it was not enough to rely on Zhou Bao alone. This was because Zhou Bao's combat capability could only, at most, be ranked third in the Heaven Realm World. No one knew better than Fate Creation Boy about this. There were still the Sea Emperor and another person ranked in front of Zhou Bao. This other person was the grandfather from the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain.
Many people knew about him. He gained his reputation in the antiquity times from killing many people who were eyeing on the Longevity Mountain. When the Four Eastern Regions and Three Western Regions were fighting, this grandfather tied up the chief and second lord of Divine Wind Palace before throwing them into the sea. By noon on that day, Divine Wind Palace, who had their eyes set on ruling the whole Seven-deity Regions, returned back to the Four Eastern Regions. That was how the grandfather gained his reputation and the Fifth Manor was declared one of the strongest sects in the Three Western Regions.
However, no one knew that the real mastermind behind the mysterious sect was actually Fate Creation Boy.
On this day, Fate Creation Boy was exactly the one that appeared in front of Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain.
He was still dressed like a boy. He arrived in front of the Manor but dared not be too careless. He made his way in and upon his second step, he found a cyan-clothed Taoist Attendant approaching him.
”Qing Feng senior brother, you've not changed!” Looking at his Taoist Attendant, who was about 13 to 14 years old, Fate Creation Boy put his hands together and laughed.
”You're overcomplimenting me. Old Master has already given his orders with regards to the purpose of the Fate Creator's coming. Old Master will not interfere in this Heaven Realm World issue. He will not meet anyone, be it you or other people. As long as this issue does not affect the Fifth Manor, then everything will be treated normally. Hence, there is no need for you to worry!”
”Since that is the case, then I'm relieved!” Hearing what the Taoist Attendant said, Fate Creation Boy nodded his head deeply. Neither did he continue to walk into the Manor, nor did he continue to have any intention to meet the master. He turned around and left with no hesitation.
Seeing Fate Creation Boy leave, a trace of helplessness was seen on Qing Feng's face. He turned around and walked into the depths of the Fifth Manor.
The Fifth Manor was made up of houses that were a few levels tall each. The Taoist Attendant was familiarized with the route to the main house, which consisted of five houses facing south. The houses had carved patterns that were bright at the top and dim at the bottom. The Taoist Attendant pushed open the doors, revealing two big colorful words ”Heaven” and ”Earth” that were hung in the middle of the wall. There was a bright red table used to put an incense burner and there was a gold stove bottle sitting on top of the table. There were incense sticks on the sides of the stove.
Before the table, there was another Taoist Attendant that was roughly about Qing Feng's age. He was using a small cloth to clean the gold stove bottle. Seeing Qing Feng walking over, he asked without looking up, ”Has Fate Creation Boy already left?!”
”Yes, how could he not, when we've already stated our stance so clearly!”
”You're right, but we're in the Heaven Realm World! If we do not care about any other matters, then what if in the future-!”
”Ming Yue, do not doubt the Old Master's decision!” Qing Feng interrupted. ”We do not have to involve ourselves in the messy situation happening in the Heaven Realm World. Even if we do, it's not the right moment!” Ming Yue nodded his head and said no more. He continued wiping the stove in silence.
”Qing Feng, come in!”
As the two spoke, a clear voice sounded in the room.
”Yes, Old Master!”
After answering, Qing Feng glanced at Ming Yue before lifting up his leg and walking towards the back of the house.
The young Taoist was seen walking towards the back door and the space around him seemed to flash and vibrate. As if stepping into a pool of water, he disappeared instantly.
”Old Master were you looking for me?!”
Behind the screen of still water was a quiet and small room. The setting was simple: there was a zafu in the center, and a handsome middle-aged Taoist sat cross-legged on it.
”Come and see!”
The Taoist swung his hand in the air and a mirror appeared out of nowhere. The area above the mirror vibrated like water ripples. An image started to form on it and a moving picture was shown. If Zhou Bao was here, he would be extremely shocked. The moving picture depicts the scene where he meets a bloody-robed man on the ancestral star of the Fiery Eyes tribe.
The whole process of the fight was shown with no loopholes and down to the smallest details.
It was like watching the fight from a camera recording.
”Old Master, this is -!”
