Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The Jade Emperor, the head of the ancient 99 Emperors, had completed the Way of the Emperor, and become a Celestial Immortal. This was totally exceeding Zhou Bao’s expectations.
“You must have never known that the Jade Emperor finally came to the Void Immortal Realm, became a Celestial Immortal, and established the Jade Emperor Palace!” Qing Feng suddenly laughed. “Actually, we were also surprised when we first heard the news. But that’s the truth. The Jade Emperor did succeed. Though he was the last of the three Celestial Immortals to succeed, he is the strongest. In less than a million years, he developed the Jade Emperor Palace into the third largest power in the Immortal Realm. That was not easy!”
“Could the Jade Emperor Sage be behind the Celestial Mystery Emperor making trouble in the Human World?”
“Of course. Unlike other Celestial Immortals, what he practices is the Way of the Emperor. Amongst the 3,000 Great Ways, it’s the most connected to living creatures in the Void Universe. Even if he has become a Celestial Immortal, he cannot abandon his foundation. And his cultivation and strength are inextricably linked with his foundation, like the deities in ancient deities times.”
“Like the deities?!” Zhou Bao smiled helplessly, “So I offended a Celestial Immortal before I even entered the Void Immortal Realm?!”
“Yes. The Jade Emperor Palace has issued an order to hunt down and kill you. That’s why we brought you here the minute you showed up!” Ming Yue said, “No matter how bold the Jade Emperor Sage may be, he would not dare to offend our Fifth Manor. As long as you stay here, you’ll be all right!”
“I’ll be safe in hiding, of course, but that’s not realistic!” Zhou Bao sighed. “I’m just a nobody. The Jade Emperor Sage isn’t going to kill me himself, is he?”
“You’re a Tribulation Taker, you’re not a nobody! Just as you’re a Tribulation Taker, he won’t kill you himself. But his subordinates won’t let you off the hook!”
“Are there any formidable figures among his subordinates?”
“Well, the most powerful characters of the ancient 99 Emperors are all under him except for the Thunder Emperor and the Emperor of Moon Temple. The Celestial Mystery Emperor, Emperor Youming, Emperor Zichen and Emperor Highest Heaven who were all killed by you were his main team!”
“They are all pretty tough nuts!” Zhou Bao felt his chin, musing for a second, before adding, “But I was surprised that I could kill the Celestial Mystery Emperor.”
“Don’t let it go to your head!” Qing Feng shot back, waving his hand repeatedly. “It was sheer luck that you killed the Celestial Mystery Emperor. The Great Ancient Emperors’ luck has almost run out in the Human World, and your luck is in full swing. Besides, he wasn’t guarding you, so you killed him by a fluke. But in the Immortal Realm, even if their time has passed, their good fortune won’t be lost. That is to say, they are as lucky now as they were in antiquity times. You have good luck as a Tribulation Taker, but you don’t have an advantage over them. What’s more, there are many Supreme Fairy Weapons!”
“So basically, I’d better keep a low profile in the Void Immortal Realm, right?”
“Yes, you get the idea. This is the Immortal Realm after all. With the passage now open, it’s probably not as peaceful as it used to be. All three forces are likely to take the opportunity to expand their influence. As the tribulation approaches, the Celestial Immortals who have Karma are sure to be planning for their own future. If they cannot use this opportunity to get rid of their Karma, they will have a lot of trouble in the future opening up their Taoist rites in the Extraterritorial Area.”
“Gale Sage, Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage and Jade Emperor Sage!” Zhou Bao mumbled. “So, the Immortal Realm won’t be calm either. But no matter how messy things get here, some things are unavoidable!”
“That depends on what you want to do!” Qing Feng smiled. “You’re welcome to stay in the Fifth Manor until the situation becomes clearer.”
Zhou Bao waved his hands and said, “Fish can only be caught in troubled waters. I had no sooner arrived in the Immortal Realm than I encountered an assassination. The assassin knows the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi. He must be one of the Tribulation Takers as well! Can you help me find out more about the other four Tribulation Takers, especially the power of the assassin?”
After a little thought, Ming Yue answered, “This is easy. There are five Tribulation Takers. You are all important men. Your information is all available! Although during the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, Tribulation Takers are linked with the fate of the Void Universe, and no one can conjecture anything about them, it doesn’t mean that no one knows your information. Tribulation Takers are born into tribulations. They generally have amazing fate, and what they have done is amazing too, just like you. In fact, when you became a Ghost Immortal, people began to speculate that you are a Tribulation Taker. From then on, people were searching for your information. The same goes for other Tribulation Takers. Your information can’t be hidden, but people can’t be sure of your cards.”
“Good. How soon can I get their information?”
