Chapter 869 - Everyone Has Their Own Scheme (2/2)

“Haha, do you think I would be afraid of that bastard?” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage burst out laughing. I just do not want the original plan to be altered. It depends on Zhou Bao’s luck whether he can break into our territory while avoiding the Jade Emperor Palace’s war path. For the time being, we would not intervene. But if he can get out of this tribulation, we can help him and get some good karma. What do you think?”

“He is your favored successor, you said so yourself! I have no reason to be against it. Anyway, if he dies, you will lose more than me!” the Gale Sage said wryly. He put his arms behind his head and gazed at the black fog filling the sky. “I say, Poisonous Old Bastard, you have many days left in the Immortal Realm. After this tribulation is over, I assume you will go to an Extraterritorial Area to perform your own Taoist rite, right?”

“What’s up? Are you after my Poisonous Sea?”

“It looks pretty bad on the outside, but it is a good location for a Taoist rite. Anyway, giving me the Chaotic Poisonous Sea is better than me staying in this Void Immortal Realm for ten million years or more!”

“That is optimistic! If Zhou Bao can cross this tribulation, I will give the Chaotic Poisonous Sea to him. As for you, you should return to your Eye of the Storm like a good boy!”

“So are you not afraid that I will go behind your back and kill off Zhou Bao?”

“If you killed Zhou Bao, then I would find someone else to inherit my Chaotic Poisonous Sea. I would not give it to you, so forget about it!” The Gale Sage was unconcerned. “Besides, you have reached a crucial moment. How could you wish to treat Tribulation Takers as wantonly as the Jade Emperor Sage? You would not do something so stupid!”

“You know as well that I have reached a crucial moment?”

“Do you even need to ask?” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage laughed. “Right now I can feel the universe being filled with a deathly stillness. Why would you do such a stupid thing and destroy your fate just as the Dharma Ending Tribulation is about to arrive?”

“You understand clearly, Poisonous Old Bastard. Yes, I would not destroy my fate just before the great tribulation is about to begin. You do not know how many old freaks will be watching this tribulation, how many old guys will drop dead, and how many will use this tribulation to be reborn. Poisonous Old Bastard, you are really optimistic about this Zhou Bao, are you? And are you perhaps preparing to be reborn in a future era?”

“Haha, do you really reckon I am thinking that far ahead? I am still very young. If you were to kill me, you would not wait for several eras!” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage roared with laughter. “But you have reminded me, I really need to get this sorted out before the next era. If not, and I drop dead, then I will miss an opportunity to be reborn. You also need to think carefully and prepare!”

“Are you cursing me?”

“No, you are cursing me!”

“Hahahaha—!”

It was not that clear whether Zhou Bao had become one of the three great Celestial Immortals of the Immortal Realm. He was now worried about finding the Sky-walking Emperor!

The Sky-walking Emperor was not the most famous person in the realm. He had a slight reputation that is only confined within a small group. The most annoying thing was that he enjoyed strolling around the realm most, and could use this opportunity to temper his Great Way of Heavens and Realms. It would not be easy for a guy like Zhou Bao to find him.

However, he had Wang She’s help. At the moment, Wang She controlled the most perfect and powerful intelligence network in the realm. If he wanted to, he could find the Sky-walking Emperor wherever he was.

“Junior Leopard, the Sky-walking Emperor has stopped for a rest in the Fallen Leaf Lake. You should go straight in there. If he leaves before you get there, it would be very difficult for you to find him again!”

Where is the Fallen Leaf Lake?

“It is very far from here. But I do know the nearest Transmitting Formation that can get you there!” said Wang She.

Wang She stopped after he and Zhou Bao went through a Transmitting Formation and entered a market in the Immortal Realm. “Head west for 1,200 miles, and you will find the lake. It should not be too far for you, right?”

“Of course not!” Zhou Bao nodded, knowing that Wang She did not want to leave any trace for others to follow. He flew off in the direction in which Wang She had pointed.

1,200 miles was not far for Zhou Bao. Although it was similar here to the Immortal Realm, he needed to be careful. He got there in less than an hour. The thing was, he had not expected that once he entered the Fallen Leaf Lake, he would have entered a pitch black part of space.

“Welcome to the Fallen Leaf Lake, Tribulation Takers of the mortal world! I am Yu An, The Jade Emperor’s Great Crown Prince!”
