Chapter 865 - I Need Your Help (2/2)

“I indeed control this galaxy, but he has been set up by someone and tampered with!” Another willpower coursed through Zhou Bao. “The space in Treasure-snatching Rock may seem like a well-hidden secret, but in the eyes of the Celestial Immortal Sages, this is nowhere a secret. Although they cannot control the Treasure-snatching Rock, they can cause some changes in this space through other methods. An ordinary Celestial Immortal Sage only affects one or two layers of the space with the real body of Treasure-snatching Rock agreeing to it. If they attempt to bypass the permission to do so, they will be banned from the Rock. However, there are some stronger Celestial Immortal Sages that can affect up to three layers. Although there aren’t many, and said Sages are all ancient. Even the Treasure-snatching Rock cannot control nor stop whatever they wish to do.”

“That is to say, some ancient mighty Celestial Immortal set his eyes on me, an essence of a willpower belonging to a device spirit who gained spiritual intelligence? And he then sent me to reincarnate in the Human World and become a Tribulation Taker?” Zhou Bao’s face contorted in confusion. He did not believe what the willpower said.

And who could blame him? Why on earth would anyone do such things to Zhou Bao?

Even if there were Celestial Immortal Sages who lived for eons and had nothing to pass the time, why would they choose Zhou Bao? Why choose him among the countless planets and reflections of thoughts in this layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock?

Was this all coincidence?

No.

After so many years of practice, Zhou Bao managed to understand a very important truth. In this world, love and hate existed for good reasons. There was a reason for everything and one thing certainly resulted in another. It was impossible for pure coincidence to occur.

“The answer you’re looking for is inside this space, but only the Treasure-snatching Rock can provide answers. But I don’t think it will be willing to divulge any Otherwise, it would have informed us already.” The thought sent from above the sun sighed softly.

“Then why did I enter the space in the Treasure-snatching Rock this time around? Do not tell me that this is a coincidence too!” Zhou Bao sneered.

“No, of course not! We know you’re searching for the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, the last technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. This is why the Treasure-snatching Rock appeared to you and invited you in. Otherwise, did you think that brat, Wang Shang, could have discovered it!”

“You all possess the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique?”

“No, but we do know where the incantation resides.”

“Where?”

“It is carved on the Treasure-snatching Rock’s real body. If you want it, enter the fifth layer of space. Although the Rock will deny you the details, it won’t put you on the spot over it either.”

“I am still a little confused.”

And indeed he was. Although he needed to be in the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock, this did not mean that the device spirits should assist him selflessly.

Things like this should never happen.

“Of course, we have our conditions!” Just when Zhou Bao experienced a difficult time believing them, another willpower reached out. “We require your help!”

“Hahahahahaha!” Zhou Bao broke into laughter. “Are you all putting on an act? You bunch of old spirits have already lived here for so many years, even centuries! And yet you still need my assistance!”

“Of course we do! You’re the last Tribulation Taker in this era, so naturally we require it!”

“What kind of assistance?”

“Stop the Jade Emperor Sage from stealing the Treasure-snatching Rock!”

“What!” Zhou Bao thought he heard them wrong.

“The Jade Emperor Sage desires to steal the Treasure-snatching Rock? Wasn’t he vanquished and in full retreat? Besides, the Treasure-snatching Rock is still the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons. Its powers are certainly not beneath that of the Jade Emperor Sage. How-”

“During the Dharma Ending Tribulation, the Treasure-snatching Rock will enter a period of deterioration. And as for us, we will sleep deeply. During then, the Treasure-snatching Rock is most vulnerable!”

“But how am I supposed to accomplish that!” For a Heavenly Fairy Weapon like the Treasure-snatching Rock that endured so many eras, it would definitely recognize many ancient Celestial Immortals. At the very least, it would be able to recognize Taoist Jin, the creator of the Immortal Realm. If not, he would not have traveled to the Immortal Realm. Hence, he would definitely not be foolhardy enough to relate himself with such an obvious abnormal matter. “I’m not even an Earthly Immortal yet, how am I supposed to fight the Jade Emperor Sage?”

“That’s not something I can help you with.” That willpower replied plainly. “I’ll bring you to the fifth layer and the Treasure-snatching Rock will solve your dilemma.”
