Chapter 802: Failing Star Reef
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“The basic level of the Innate Fire-property Divine Body was equivalent to an Earthly Immortal’s strength. Who would have known there exists such a mysterious way in this world! I cater to the Innate Deities!” Zhou Bao thought to himself, how could he hold back the temptation of the way anymore? He started to memorize the way immediately and practiced his Second Primordial Spirit. As for his body, it also comprehended this way and compared it to the ways used to change the physical body using the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and Mysterious Divine Light. Just like that, he obsessed about it.
After an unknown period of time, he heard a cry for help. This pulled Zhou Bao from the hole of comprehension. Looking back, he saw Fate Creation Boy wore a strange expression on his face as he looked forward. A transparent ball sat in front of him. It was completely made of pneuma. The image of Child-endowing Buddha on Taihua Mountain flashed in the ball. At this point in time, two hours passed, like water flowing through. Child-endowing Buddha wrote down the specific address of the passageway to the Immortal Realm on a piece of smooth bluestone. By right, Fate Creation Boy should have started the Secret Time Skill by now. However, he stared at the stone with a solemn look. Another glance at Child-endowing Buddha showed his darkened expression.
“What the hell are you doing, Fate Creation Boy? Hurry and activate the Secret Time Skill and turn back time!” Reading the situation, Zhou Bao was taken aback and quickly reminded him. The Secret Time Skill indeed possessed powerful effects. But at the same time, it was like a double-edged sword. One mistake led to a failure, which would land them both in a huge grudge against Child-endowing Buddha.
Fate Creation Boy realized what was going on and moved his fingers quickly, activating the Secret Time Skill. Mysterious black ripples formed in the transparent ball. In a split second, the ripples enveloped the whole of Taihua Mountain. A moment later, the black ripples disappeared and the image of Child-endowing Buddha appeared.
However, this time around, Child-endowing Buddha no longer wore that dark expression. Instead, he looked confused. “Fate Creation Boy, Zhou Bao, what the hell? Do you think it’s fun to call me over and play this game of getting lost together?” It seemed like he already forgot what happened earlier.
Zhou Bao and Child-endowing Buddha heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
“Okay, let’s go back! If not, he might grow suspicious!” Fate Creation Boy sighed softly with a tired expression on his face.
“Ok!” Zhou Bao nodded his head. Although this time he gained an extremely huge benefit, which was the way to practice the Innate Fire-property Divine Body, meaning he could re-enter anytime so time was not a luxury. Besides, his Second Primordial Spirit, currently trapped in the Furnace of Immortality, comprehended the expression of the congenital fire spirit. Thus, he could leave this eerie place.
When Zhou Bao and Fate Creation Boy appeared in front of Child-endowing Buddha, he was obviously annoyed from waiting.
“What the hell are you two doing, suddenly disappearing and now re-appearing again? Is there some hideous conspiracy behind this!”
“Conspiracy, haha. That’s too excessive. The both of us, as you know, are Fate Creators. We took a trip to the Void Immortal Realm just now!”
“Void Immortal Realm!”
“That’s right, the Void Immortal Realm. We wanted to test if you sense the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm!” Fate Creation Boy laughed, “Zhou Bao already informed me about how you can find the Chakra of the Heaven Realm World.”
Hearing this, Child-endowing Buddha’s face contorted uncomfortably. “Isn’t this the reason Zhou Bao came to me this time? Regardless, I don’t wish to discuss it.”
“I understand, you have been forced to undertake the Great Vow of the Heart Demon, so of course we won’t force you,” Fate Creation Boy smiled and continued, “We just wanted to see if us entering the passageway to the Immortal Realm affected the Chakra!”
“I did not sense the Chakra appearing, neither did it happen just now on Taihua Mountain.” Child-endowing Buddha did not suspect what the duo said. After a moment of silence, he said, “Hence, by entering the Void Immortal Realm, you all will not use the Chakra’s power.”
“Since that’s the case, then forget it. We will not put you on the spot!” Fate Creation Boy grimaced in disappointment. He turned and said to Zhou Bao, “Now we can only place our hopes on you and your far-away relative.”
“That is the only way!” Zhou Bao smiled bitterly. “Hais, my far-away relative is simply a disgrace! But that’s okay, I also possess the Fiery Eye. As long as I find the correct method, it shouldn’t be hard to locate that passageway!”
“Hmph! Don’t think of it so easily! If it’s really so simple to find, this passageway would have already been exposed back when the Fiery Eyes tribe were in full bloom! That relative of yours wouldn’t even have a chance to act!” Child-endowing Buddha sneered.
“That’s true, if it really is that simple, it wouldn’t be called the passageway to the Immortal Realm!” Zhou Bao laughed, “Okay, let’s leave the topic here and see how to deal with the Devil Tribulation. Recently, my heart feels uneasy.”
“Falling Star Reef? Where is that?”
Zhou Bao and Fate Creation Boy talked pretentiously with Child-endowing Buddha for half a day on Taihua Mountain. In the end, they did not arrive at any conclusions and parted ways. Child-endowing Buddha had some welcoming to do, so he returned first. Zhou Bao and Fate Creation Boy discussed the exact location of the passageway.
However, when Fate Creation Boy mentioned the location, Zhou Bao was unclear and did not know as well.
He deserved no blame seeing as the Heaven Realm World was enormous. He only traveled to the Seven-deity Regions and the neighboring Sea Areas. The furthest he visited was to seek the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode. The Sea Area, so vast and massive, only God knew how big it was. There existed a countless number of this reef and that reef, how would Zhou Bao have heard of it?
“Falling Star Reef was where the Vast Sea Emperor was trapped!” Fate Creation Boy said in a sharp tone.
“Weren’t you unable to find where he was trapped?” Zhou Bao raised an eyebrow, “Wasn’t he in the endless spacetime?”
“Indeed, I do not know where he is now. However, when first crowned as the Sea Emperor, it was at the Falling Star Reef. Now, the place became the Sea Area’s territory. It was also the center of authority over the whole Sea Area. Only a few Demon tribes gained his trust could enter the Falling Star Reef. I’ve been there to explore several times and also met the Vast Sea Emperor. However, ever since he went missing, I couldn’t find any more clues when there. In the past, I did not comprehend the uniqueness of that place. However, I know now.”
“It’s too late,” Zhou Bao smiled, “If you’ve known the truth about the place earlier, perhaps we could have opened the passageway to the Immortal Realm by now.”
“The problem now is the passageway is there and that’s where the Vast Sea Emperor exited. Obviously, he was trapped because he protected that passageway. If not, it was because he explored it. That means, we have to deal with him in order to discover the passageway. He is the Sea Emperor, a Vast Sea Emperor from the antiquity times. He’s not someone that a random Earthly Immortal can best so easily. If he really attacks us, we’ll be in dire straits!”
“Isn’t he trapped? If he wants to fight back, wouldn’t he be restricted?”
“You’re correct, there are indeed restrictions. However, the strictest one is unable to bar an Earthly Immortal completely. Look at Marquis Zhihai, the Primordial Demon of the Infinite Star Sea. He has been restricted for so many years, but yet he still produced so many Devil Fetuses, bringing chaos to the world. This is the same with the Vast Sea Emperor’s restrictions. Although he can’t roam freely, from his performance, I think he has at least the power for three strikes!”
The power for three strikes!
That was not referring to the simple strikes. Here, three strikes meant three powerful, full strikes.
Who was the Vast Sea Emperor? He was one of the 99 Emperors from antiquity times, a famous Earthly Immortal since then. Forget about three strikes, just one strike from him proved enough to defeat a normal Earthly Immortal.
Although Zhou Bao bested two Earthly Immortals before, one of them was inexperienced and never stabilized. The other an experienced one, but when compared to the Vast Sea Emperor from antiquity times, he lacked too much. Forget about a full strike, a simple one from the emperor could kill him easily.
The Void Universe was so big, the Heaven Realm World in the antiquity times ruled heavens and realms. There were as many Earthly Immortals as there were clouds, and as many Immortals as there were rain. Why were these 99 people selected to be Emperors? Actually, that was the highest rank an Earthly Immortal could get, and it was based on their strengths.
“Can you be sure the Vast Sea Emperor is on the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s side?”
“I could not before, but now, I am sure of it!” Fate Creation Boy’s voice hardened with a tint of cold, depression. “How? Do you believe we should go to the Falling Star Reef?”
“Actually, we still have many options. By releasing the address, I believe there will be many people fighting to help us explore the way.”
“We don’t have enough time. Once we disclose the news, the Celestial Mystery Emperor will send people immediately. Don’t forget, they are hidden in the Heaven Realm World. Besides, this is the Heaven Realm World’s problem, I require others’ assistance to solve my own problems!” Speaking till here, Fate Creation Boy squinted a little, reflecting an indescribable determination.
“You’re right, the Heaven Realm World is yours. But we also don’t need to rely on others to solve our problem.” Zhou Bao sensed Fate Creation Boy’s determination and smiled, “But I cannot flee, no?”
“Hmph, you sure know your own circumstance well. You know the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and can use it to sneak into Falling Star Reef. With your current cultivation, although you cannot defeat the Vast Sea Emperor, with that skill, you cannot go unnoticed by him. Even the Celestial Mystery Emperor is a possible goal for you. Most importantly, you have the Fiery Eyes. I cannot explore there, but with those eyes, you should be able to sense something. You may even chance upon the passageway to the Immortal Realm!”
