842 An Old Chinese Parasol, The Forest of Mysteries & An Ongoing Assassination (2/2)
A spot of blue light was glistening in the depths of the endless storm. It looked like a beautiful sapphire.
”Don't go there. That's where the Vast Sea Emperor is being imprisoned. That's also his territory!” Ghost Child recognized the spot with just a glimpse of the blue spacetime. ”The Vast Sea Emperor has launched a strike against you, but he was forced into it. Even if you want revenge, now is not a good time!”
”All this time you knew where the Vast Sea Emperor was?”
”No, I only realized this when I saw it just now!” Ghost Child said. ”Go ahead. If I guessed right, that damned place is not far!”
”What kind of place it is?”
”You'll understand when you see it!”
Since Ghost Child intended to keep Zhou Bao in suspense, Zhou Bao could do nothing about it. But soon, he realized what Ghost Child was talking about. He saw an old and withered tree standing in the deepest part of the space-time storm, where the storm was the utmost violent.
The old tree stood rooted in place. Its color was a bit dull, only a few leaves were still green. The trunk was not large, but the storm had no impact on it.
”This...”
”This is the Old Chinese Parasol. It's also called the Fixing Root Tree. Taoist Jin planted it here before he created the five main worlds. Each of its leaves represents a powerful spacetime. All the spacetimes in the Heaven Realm World were developed from the leaves of this ancient tree. Only a few still cling to it. These are the most resilient spacetimes.”
”The Fate Creation Boy doesn't know this?”
”The Old Chinese Parasol is not related that closely to the Heaven Realm World. Although the Heaven Realm World was created based on the Old Chinese Parasol, the two don't actually share any connection. When the leaves fall, they'll turn into spacetimes and no longer connect to the tree itself. So, it's only reasonable that Fate Creation Boy doesn't know this!”
”Well, I just find this a little weird!”
”Many people find this weird! There are many secrets in the Void Universe. Most of the answers can only be retrieved in the Void Immortal Realm!” Ghost Child gave a light smile. ”Now, you're getting closer to the answers!”
”But I feel I'm getting further and further from the answers! The more I know, the more questions I have. How troublesome!” Zhou Bao gave a wry smile and stopped asking. He followed Ghost Child's direction and went behind one of the leaves.
”Boom!”
Zhou Bao broke through the spacetime. The seemingly ordinary leaf became unusual.
Blue sky, clouds, and pneuma!
Everything that was supposed to be in the Heaven Realm World was here, including human beings.
”Damn it, this place is flourishing much better than the Heaven Realm World!”
”Its power is also much stronger than that of the Heaven Realm World!” Ghost Child was also taken aback by the glorious scene. ”Seems that they have brought a talented practitioner they believe merits their training into this spacetime!”
The size of this spacetime was just slightly smaller than the Heaven Realm World, and the essence of the world here was much richer. There were many living creatures and practitioners in this world. Cities spread out in this spacetime. The sky above a large city was shining; it looked like some practitioners were flying by riding the Qi. Some of them had reached the peak of the Human Immortal Level, just one level below Zhou Bao's.
”Don't feel weird about this. The pneuma here is really good. However, there is also a huge flaw in the rule of this spacetime. Becoming a Human Immortal is the upper limit for all practitioners. No matter how much of a genius you are, or how lucky you get, you cannot break this restriction!”
After familiarizing himself with the rule of this spacetime using telepathy, Zhou Bao's expression altered a bit. ”You're right, the rule here is flawed. This place will never release the Divine Immortal Tribulation. Without the Divine Immortal Tribulation, no one can become a Divine Immortal. A Human Immortal is the most powerful combatant in this spacetime. Okay, where could the Celestial Mystery Emperor be hiding?”
”Every spacetime has its crucial area. And this spacetime is no exception. With your present spiritual mind, you can't be baffled by this!”
”Yeah, you have a point!” Zhou Bao concentrated his mind for a second and successfully cracked the space. He stepped through the crack and arrived in a mysterious place.
”Is it here? Is this where the Celestial Mystery Emperor and his lot are hiding?!”
In the depths of this spacetime was a mystic forest, which had been enveloped by mist for years. Except for the living creatures that had always lived in this forest, even a Human Immortal with top-level combat capability could not access it. Accordingly, this forest was called Forest of Mysteries.
”Old Chinese Parasol, Forest of Mysteries, hiding in such a damn place. No wonder it's so hard to find it!”
Zhou Bao went into the Forest of Mysteries and finally spotted his target—a snow-white palace.
