824 Cundis Fate (1/2)

”Does he also want to step into the Celestial Immortal's Way?” After hearing what Emperor Baiqi had to say, Zhou Bao smiled and sneered.

”Every Earthly Immortal's dream is to step into the Celestial Immortal's Way. However, as compared to the Earthly Immortal's Way, this would entail more instability. The majority of those who faced the directionless Celestial Immortal's Way will be confused. However, if one becomes a Tribulation Taker, then everything will become much simpler! Tribulation Takers have better fates and their fate will become stronger when they are nearing the tribulation. They are also more likely to satisfy the criteria of entering into the Celestial Immortal's Way. Hulong is after this idea!”

”So that is no wonder why he carried out a sneak attack, because he has a plan like this!” Zhou Bao thought to himself. He lifted his head all of a sudden and asked, ”Both of you are rivals and are in the Seven Mysteries World together, should you not know where his nest is hidden?!”

”What are you going to do?”

Upon hearing Zhou Bao's question, Emperor Baiqi furrowed his brows, as if he understood what Zhou Bao was thinking.

”One cannot always receive but also must reciprocate by giving. Since he wants to rob my fate to become a Tribulation Taker, he would surely want to make some sacrifice in return. Should I then let him fight for nothing as such?!”

”Fight for nothing? You have defeated and robbed him of his place in the Celestial Punishment Palace and he has suffered a great loss already!”

”Why should we settle our score like that? I have no hatred against him and for him to launch a sudden attack against me, I have to retaliate of course!” Zhou Bao laughed sinisterly. ”As for the Celestial Punishment Palace, that was because he wasn't capable of protecting it, it has nothing to do with me!”

”That makes sense, but this is not easy. This is the world of the Seven Mysteries and he is one of the Controllers of this world. If I fight with him, it's counted as an internal battle, which does not matter. But if you attack him, then you will be viewed as one who is against the world of the Seven Mysteries! By then, at least three Emperors will attack you altogether. Do you have confidence to handle them?!”

”Eh?!” Zhou Bao's expression turned stiff. ”It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge 10 years late. You guys at the world of the Seven Mysteries can't protect that darned fella forever right?!”

”Why don't you consider my suggestion? As long as you agree with it, then your fight with Emperor Hulong will be considered as an internal battle. Then, that three antiques can't interfere!”

”Let me think about it again!” Zhou Bao was very hesitant towards this suggestion. For the other practitioners, it will be a god-sent opportunity for a strong ruler in this world to willingly give his seat away. But for Zhou Bao, he did not have the urge to accept it. If he did, he would be tied onto the cart heading for the battle in the world of the Seven Mysteries. In this ghostly world, people toughen up when facing strong opponents and soften when facing weaker ones. However, not only did this place not have a Fate Creator, it even got itself entangled in this dispute happening inside the Holy Alliance. If he accepted it, more trouble might come his way afterward. Besides, he was looking for a Tribulation Taker by the name of Lao Shenzi. He couldn't even finish his task, how would he have the energy to care about the things happening in the other worlds?

”I have accepted Your Honour's goodwill. However, I'm not suited to do this kind of things. I think I'll pass!” Zhou Bao stood up as he spoke. ”Seniors Qing Feng and Ming Yue have now gained a place in the Celestial Punishment Palace, I will not interrupt anymore. I am taking my leave!”

”That's fine!” Emperor Baiqi glanced at Zhou Bao and smiled. He did not insist on his stance and watched Zhou Bao leave the Fifth Manor. He thought in silence for a while and turned towards Qing Feng and Ming Yue and asked, ”How?!”

”Interesting guy!” Qing Feng smiled,” There's a possibility of passing the Dharma Ending Tribulation this time!”

”He might even become a Celestial Immortal!” Ming Yue mentioned this at a corner.

”Celestial Immortal? No way, he is just a - !”

”Tribulation Taker, who knows what the future holds?!” Qing Feng smiled, ”As for the two of us, we are not even certified as Earthly Immortals yet. In this upcoming tribulation, we do not even have the most basic self-protecting ability. What a joke!”

”Yes, yes, let's train in a closed-door environment first. After we finished training, perhaps, the Dharma Ending Tribulation has already passed, hehe!” Ming Yue let out a laugh and threw the Celestial Punishment Palace up into the air. A golden light flashed past and the both of them disappeared with it.

On the other hand, after leaving this endless spacetime, Zhou Bao left the world of the Seven Mysteries immediately.

He only came here to track Emperor Hulong. Now, he realized that he could not fight the world on his own. Zhou Bao also gained a Sacred Fire Bead and he would not want to delay his time here of course. He needed to find a place to refine the Sacred Fire Bead. The power of the Sky-burning Golden Flame was not weaker than his own Ancient Black Flame. After refining it, the power of his Furnace of Immortality would definitely increase greatly!

However, Zhou Bao was not willing to leave the Central Star Area. One reason was that Zhou Bao found this place quite interesting. Another reason was that as news traveled fast here, he could get some updates about the Heaven Realm World anytime. Emperor Baiqi said something right; no matter what, Zhou Bao was a Tribulation Taker. There were some situations where running away was not the best solution. Since the Central Star Area would be entangled in this tribulation, his stay here would be viewed from the perspective of one watching the situation silently rather than running away from it.

After leaving the world of the Seven Mysteries, Zhou Bao found a hollow outside another world where there was ample spiritual qi. He rented the place and started his closed-door training. At this point in time, he was not afraid of exposing his identity. Since others already knew that Cundi was Zhou Bao, and vice versa, there was no reason not be open about it and to carry out activities in the Void Universe as Taoist Cundi.

Why should he use the name Cundi?

In the beginning, after hearing the name, Zhou Bao had an evil prank in mind. But as the tribulation neared and as his cultivation increased, the more he felt that he made the right decision when he was in the Eastern Thunder World.

Fate!!!

This was a matter of fate!
