823 Ways to Undergo the Tribulation (1/2)

As Qing Feng and Ming Yue looked at the Celestial Punishment Palace with radiant faces, the Emperor Baiqi kept silent. Seeing Zhou Bao place the Celestial Punishment Palace in his palm, he knew he waited for the price.

”You may rest assured, King Wuyang! We practitioners emphasize Karma. We won't obtain your Celestial Punishment Palace for free. This Sacred Fire Bead is a rare, ancient treasure produced from the essence of fire. It contains a piece of the Sky-burning Golden Flame which is one of the nine kinds of Heavenly Fire, and which matches your Heavenly Fairy Weapon. It's not inferior to a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. What do you think?”

”Sacred Fire Bead and Sky-burning Golden Flame?” Zhou Bao said in astonishment, closely staring at the pigeon egg size of the golden red sacred bead in the Emperor Baiqi's hand.

The entire Sacred Fire Bead presented golden red, looking like blazing fire held together at a single point, and in the center of the flame, a golden flame of solidification.

As the fire burned, a warm breath filled the air.

Sensing the warmth, the Furnace of Immortality on his waist became unsteady, and the Tusita Fire inside beated as the Ancient Black Flame danced gaily, as if craving something.

”What a bunch of tough guys!”

Zhou Bao sighed in his heart. Then he smiled broadly and accepted it without hesitation. ”Thank you, Your Majesty!” He took over the Sacred Fire Bead, and at the same time handed over the Celestial Punishment Palace to the Emperor Baiqi.

Seeing Zhou Bao so readily hand over the Celestial Punishment Palace, Qing Feng and Ming Yue exchanged greatly relieved looks.

”Well, senior brothers, I've given it to you, and fulfilled my job.”

The Emperor Baiqi said with a smile and sighed in relief before putting the Celestial Punishment Palace into Ming Yue's hand.

”Thank you, junior brother. Thank you, King Wuyang!” Both of them beamed.

”Having looked forward to it for so many years, I did not expect to obtain it so easily. I am humbled,” Qing Feng sighed, his voice full of gratitude.

Ming Yue was soberer than Qing Feng. Recovering from his ecstasy, he asked quietly, ”King Wuyang, what are your plans for the future?”

”Oh, I still want to return to the Heaven Realm, but now the Heaven Realm World is a mess. God knows how this is going to end. I will walk around and practice in the Void Universe and make a decision after it's completely settled.”

To walk around in the Void Universe!

A good idea indeed. As the saying went, it was better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. With his current cultivation, it was difficult for him to make further advance. To improve the cultivation required not only the enhancement of Dharma power, but also the elevation of the state of the mind. And the state of the mind could not be enhanced with closed-door training, which took a long time to experience and temper. To walk around was an excellent choice to improve his state of mind.

But Qing Feng and Ming Yue both frowned.

”King Wuyang, that's a good idea in normal times, but I'm afraid it's not a good idea currently.”

Looking at their strange expressions, Zhou Bao shivered in his heart. Then he smiled and asked, ”Oh, it's not a good idea now? How so?”

”Things are different now!” Qing Feng smiled bitterly, ”You're a genius. But it cannot explain the fact that you've obtained such a considerable achievement in such a short period of time. The only reasonable explanation is that you are a Tribulation Taker!”

”So what?”

”The Tribulation Taker cannot escape. I think you're well aware that it's not an ordinary tribulation this time. So you are trying to run away, aren't you?”

”Yes, I'm just trying to run away,” Zhou Bao nodded. There was nothing to be ashamed of by running away.
