Chapter 850 - Coincidence (1/2)

Why was there a need to come to the Immortal Realm?
This was a question, but could not be considered as one.
Based on Zhou Bao’s character, it did not matter to him whether he was at the Immortal Realm or not. Even if he was not there, he had unlimited combat capability, a Supreme Fairy Weapon and his Azure Big World. He could survive well in the Void Universe. Thinking about it, there seemed to be no one there who could do anything to him.
But this was just in a normal situation.
What was considered a normal situation?
A normal situation is one without any tribulation happening. Right now, the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was taking place. As a Tribulation Taker, even if he had an unlimited fate, what good would run away from the troublesome Tribulation of Heaven and Earth do for him?
When it came to the World-ending Tribulation, he could not run away. He had to face it eventually.
Furthermore, as a Tribulation Taker, by running away from a tribulation, his fate that was interconnected with the tribulation would then disappear. Previously Zhou Bao used to think that it was no big deal, but thinking about it, didn’t Celestial Mystery Emperor, the well-known Emperor from antiquity times, die in Zhou Bao’s hands due to this exact reason?
After running away from the tribulation this time, perhaps, he might die in the hands of another person who had great luck, just like what happened to the Celestial Mystery Emperor. This was something that Zhou Bao would never be able to accept.
Hence, the only thing he should do was to deal with the problem. The only way for him to improve was by facing the tribulation directly and break through it. The Immortal Realm happened to be the best battlefield to do so.
The Void Immortal Realm was an Alien World created by ancient Taoist Jins who were Celestial Immortals. The Realm was the most magical world in the whole Void Universe and it was also the core of the universe. This was where all tribulations ended, which was why Zhou Bao came to the Immortal Realm.
Of course, this was also the reason why the other four Tribulation Takers were also at the Immortal Realm.
It was a rhetorical question.
Zhou Bao was a little embarrassed. He had inadvertently asked a stupid question.
“Fine, since we now know the background of these four people, my future actions can be carried out more smoothly. Thank you, seniors, for taking care of me during the past few days. I have already prolonged my stay here in the Fifth Manor, so it is time for me to leave.”
“Seems like you’ve made up your mind!” Seeing that Zhou Bao was determined to leave, both Qing Feng and Ming Yue did not stop him. “Take this, it might be useful in the future!”
“What?” Zhou Bao trembled slightly and received the item from Ming Yue. It was a light golden talisman.
“This is the sky-escaping Talisman. It has a mysterious connection to the Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain. If you come across a life-or-death situation that you’re unable to resolve, activate this Talisman and you’ll immediately return to the Fifth Manor! No matter where you are in the Immortal Realm, no matter what inhibition you’re facing, you can come back immediately. But you can only use this once!”
“Thank you very much!” Zhou Bao thanked them repeatedly.
There was no need to talk about the value of this item. This thing was equivalent to a spare life. No matter what danger he would be facing, as long as he activated the Talisman, he could escape from it. Although he could only use it once, it was still a huge favor!
This was a favor that Zhou Bao could not reciprocate at the moment. Hence, he could only keep this goodwill in mind. At the same time, he was also a little suspicious about how well the Fifth Manor took care of him.
“You don’t have to suspect anything. We don’t know why, but the master has asked us to give all these to you. The master has high expectations of you, but the reason behind it is not clear to us disciples.”
After he left Fifth Manor, Zhou Bao felt a little lost. What did it mean when Taoist Zhen Yuan was said to have high expectations of him? Had he discovered something about Zhou Bao’s background?
These were all questions that had no answers. There was no way he could run to Taoist Zhen Yuan in the Extraterritorial Area to ask about this matter.
The Immortal Realm was vast. After leaving Fifth Manor, Zhou Bao was lost for a moment. Luckily, before he left, Qing Feng and Ming Yue had explained to him in detail about the Void Immortal Realm. Hence, he was able to find his way and not end up running around aimlessly like a headless fly.
