Chapter 856 - The Contract and the Two-Man Team (1/2)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“I am an independent practitioner who came here to find the Divine Fate at the Rock Cliff Sect. But there are many dangers among the remnants of the Rock Cliff Sect, so I respectfully ask if my brother would want to accompany me and work with me to find the divine fate?”
Work together to find the Divine Fate.
This kind of situation was almost unimaginable in the Void Universe. The practitioners in the Void Universe did not trust one another as it was common for them to steal from and kill one another. This was because the resources were scarce, so everybody fought and stole.
However, it was different in the Immortal Realm. There were far more resources available here than in the Void Universe and the practitioners had not really explored the entire realm.
Zhou Bao now knew that the Void Immortal Realm had been created by an ancient Celestial Immortal Taoist Jin. However, this magical world was not merely created out of thin air and sufficient materials had to be sourced for its creation. The Taoist Jin understood this very well and during the Primordial Origin in the original space where the heavens were formed, the Void Immortal Realm arose.
Huge, ancient and full of magic.
Practitioners did not have the same sense of urgency when they practiced here, unlike those in the Void Universe. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than that in the Human World. Everyone was on cordial terms and had good relationships with each other.
Furthermore, since primitive times, countless powers had existed in the Void Immortal Realm, which meant there were countless ruins and almost every day a new one opened. Each one had a gargantuan Divine Fate. Because the territory here was so big, all the rules and the Dharma were very strict, so it was not that noticeable.
It was because of these endless resources that the relationships between the practitioners were so relaxed. Even though not everybody knew each other, they had plenty of opportunities to cooperate.
After countless years, many unwritten rules had come into being in the Immortal Realm. In the eyes of practitioners coming from the Human world, people such as the man in front of Zhou Bao were a little odd. They either had an evil plan in mind or was simply courting death.
However, Zhou Bao knew from previous information passed to him by Wang She that this behavior was the norm in the Immortal Realm.
It was different in the Human World and its countless hidden rules. If someone came up to you, it was a certainty that it was not done at the spur of the moment. They would have certainly come thoroughly prepared and would already have a contract in their hand. Zhou Bao only needed to sign this temporary cooperation contract and the cooperation would be acknowledged and protected by the whole Immortal Realm.
Yes, that’s right, protected!
This was a very clear agreement on the rights and obligations of both parties, a contract as detailed as it could ever be. Anything you could think of was spelled out in the contract and in a fair way for both parties. Zhou Bao had seen this type of agreement before where Wang She was, so he did not look at it much. He thought about it for a second and agreed.
The best way for him to hide his identity as a tribulation taker was to assimilate with the Immortal Realm practitioners. There were hordes of independent practitioners here, so blending in with them was like being a drop of water in the ocean. So long as Zhou Bao was careful, it would be very difficult to find him.
After he signed the contract, Zhou Bao was now that practitioner’s teammate. This time, Zhou Bao did not use the Taoist Cundi name. The Void Immortal Realm understood the Human World far more than the people of the Human World could imagine, and so it was no longer a secret that he was Taoist Cundi.
“With my poor Taoist bodhi, I’m afraid I don’t know what my brother’s honorable name is?”
“Haha, it’s not an honorable name. I am also an independent practitioner, Wang Shang!” This Wang Shang laughed mischievously. Having signed the contract with Zhou Bao, the two of them were teammates at least until the Rock Cliff Sect remnants were finished. What was more, they were teammates who could trust each other.
“This contract is interesting. It contains some mystical powers. Although they are very minute, they are different from that of the current system of powers. They are somewhat similar to the powers of the era of the ancient deities. Wang She had also mentioned that this type of contract had been passed down from the ancient deities. It seems that the powers of the ancient deities were quite strange!”
Rock Cliff City was different from the cities of the Immortal Realm passageways. Inside it were many fragments of space. Therefore, when these ruins were opened, it did not seem at all crowded, despite that countless practitioners had come to encounter the Divine Fate.
Coincidentally, the Rock Cliff Sect remnants were just opening as Zhou Bao and Wang Shang entered the city.
This so-called opening of the relics was actually a fluctuation produced by the space of the relics, creating countless passageways to the main space of the Immortal Realm. Some of these passageways were like black holes, some were just a beam of light, and quite a few even burst open directly on the mountainside.
