Chapter 809: Escaping (Ⅰ)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao was a vulgar man who had extremely bad tastes. In his previous life, he managed to hide this trait well and pretended to be a person who had good taste. In this present life, he did not deliberately hide it. He just had no chance to show it.
In this power-oriented world, he pretended to be helpless and miserable during the first two decades of his life, but even so, he still felt excluded. Many big shots attacked him secretly. Although he fought back with all his strength, it was inevitable that he would always be someone’s target and focus. Perhaps this was the only disadvantage for all time travellers—their moral standing was extremely bad.
The feeling of being targeted against without any known reason was certainly not good. It was a given that Zhou Bao would surely retaliate. Now, for him, the Celestial Mystery Emperor was still a formidable giant. Trying to kill him was just a dream. Nevertheless, that did not mean that Zhou Bao was afraid of him. In fact, he feared no one.
The worst he could do was to run away.
He still retained the memories from his previous life from birth, so he had a different perspective of the world as compared with the people of this world.
Due to this, he did not mind running away with a macro world. No matter how desolate his shelter was, it meant nothing to him. The earth in his previous life was also in a deserted corner of the universe, but everyone led good lives there. Heaven Realm World had lingered in the Desolate Ancient Star Area for many years and people there led good lives as well. If he had not opened the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm accidentally, there wouldn’t be so many people who knew its current position. In that case, what was he afraid of?
He did not believe that the Celestial Mystery Emperor would be able to find him after he escaped with his Supreme Fairy Weapon. If that really happened, what could the Celestial Mystery Emperor do to him? As for whether the Star Area that he was going to dwell in was desolate or not, or whether it was difficult for him to get in contact with other macro worlds and influences in the Void Universe, that was something he would not take into consideration. After all, discussing about social contact with a homebody was simply a waste of time, right?
Therefore, he was on cloud nine even as he was spewing out abuse. He did not care about his image but only felt a sense of ease. It was as if he had suddenly managed to cleanse his system after suffering from constipation for several days. Only one word was able to describe this feeling—great!
In the depths of Heaven Realm World, the Celestial Mystery Emperor was literally panting with rage at this point. There were queer facial expressions on the faces of the two men beside him. They wanted to laugh, but they had to refrain from doing so. Seeing the Celestial Mystery Emperor filled with fury and emitting lightning flashes from his fingertips, they grabbed both his arms in case he did something he should not be doing.
“That bastard is unforgivable! I’ll never forgive him!” After they restrained him, they saw his lips quivering with rage. He said repeatedly, “I won’t forgive this bastard, I won’t!”
“Don’t worry, this person has been involved in this tribulation and it’s impossible for him to get away. It’s not the right time to exact your revenge!”
“Yes, we’d better focus on how to deal with the Devil Tribe at present. Although they can’t destroy the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower, they have gathered so many Fierce Owls at the Falling Star Reef and made this place a key target. It doesn’t meet with your plans. You’re the one who made this plan and you are responsible for carrying it out. You must show up and do something!”
After ranting for a long while, the Celestial Mystery Emperor finally calmed down. He said, “Summon the Spirit-suppressing King!”
“Haha, I finally know why those shrews like shouting abuse in the street. This kind of thing is good for health. Hurling abuse at someone you don’t like, using vulgarities and trying your best to insult him allows you to vent your resentment and rage but also can make him die due to anger. Is there anything more self-serving and joyful than that?” Zhou Bao thought that there was no better thing than that in this world. It was delightful beyond words.
“Good gracious! Where did you learn so many dirty words? Aren’t you afraid of soiling your tongue?” When Zhou Bao reappeared on Taihua Mountain, Fate Creation Boy already had no energy left to scold him. He stared at Zhou Bao as if he was observing a rare animal.
“Of course I’m not. You guys have always had a holier-than-thou attitude, so you cannot truly enjoy a happy and carefree life!” Zhou Bao said with disdain. “Look, I feel like I’m going to break through to another phase. Everything is going so smoothly in my heart. Haha!”
“I’m so glad to see that you’re so happy. But don’t forget that you have become a sworn enemy of the Celestial Mystery Emperor!”
“Do I fear him?” Zhou Bao said scornfully. “He didn’t dare to come out even though I had thrown a stream of abuse at him. Do you think such a person can threaten me?”
“He who lacks forbearance in small matters will spoil great plans!”
“If we blindly tolerate others, we’ll become cowards. The Celestial Mystery Emperor has always plotted against others secretly, so he probably has forgotten how to attack others, I’m afraid!” Zhou Bao showed increasingly contempt for the Celestial Mystery Emperor. “No matter what kind of big things he is plotting to do, the timider he is, the slighter his chances of success will be!”
“Boy, you are really good at judging others. Don’t forget that he was a Great Ancient Emperor and was one of the top five emperors among the 99 Emperors in the Ancient Celestial Court!” Lord of Heaven Black Turtle said coldly.
“So what? That is merely an old story!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly. “Moreover, he is busy dealing with the Devil Tribe. Given his character, he would not bother me until the end of this Devil Tribulation. Do you really think that he will win when facing the Devil Tribe?”
“There are indeed a lot of experts in the Devil Tribe. Besides, Marquis Wugu and Marquis Zhihai are their leaders. But don’t forget that there are numerous demons in Falling Star Reef too. Furthermore, they have the support of some emperors at the Earthly Immortal Realm, such as the Celestial Mystery Emperor, and they still possess a Supreme Fairy Weapon—the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower!”
“If the Celestial Mystery Emperor can act at will, I wouldn’t be standing here alive!” Zhou Bao smiled cunningly. His intention was to test the tolerance of the Celestial Mystery Emperor by screaming abuse at him, but little did he expect that the Celestial Mystery Emperor would not take any action. Obviously, the emperors from antiquity times faced more restraints than he had imagined. They might be confined in some unknown spacetimes just like Vast Sea Emperor and demanding conditions were required if they wanted to attack others. In this way, Zhou Bao was immensely relieved.
“Don’t think your petty tricks will deceive the Celestial Mystery Emperor!”
“I don’t expect to deceive him, I just need to consider my own benefits!” said Zhou Bao. “The only thing those guys can rely on right now is the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower, but don’t forget that it will be severely restricted in Heaven Realm World and cannot exert all its power. If it is able to exert all the power, Heaven Realm World will be in trouble!”
Zhou Bao was not exaggerating. He was telling the truth. Once a Supreme Fairy Weapon was fully operational in Heaven Realm World, the two macro worlds would collide with each other. This would be a crushing blow to both the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower and Heaven Realm World. Therefore, once those guys were in the territory of Heaven Realm World, they would not act crazily. In this case, the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower would be less threatening. As for the Demon tribe in the Falling Star Reef, Zhou Bao did not think that they could resist the Devil Tribe for too long.
“You think the Devil Tribe will win?”
“I don’t care whether the Devil Tribe will win or lose, I am just putting everything ahead of schedule. Neither the Celestial Mystery Emperor nor other influences in the Void Universe are prepared for all this. So, they lack practice and time when dealing with these matters. The Devil Tribe seems to be getting ready, but in fact, they can no longer use our Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Even if they occupy the Falling Star Reef, they will face attacks from Heaven Realm World and various influences from the Void Universe. This is a tangled war and we are in troubled times. I guess no one will pay attention to me at this time!”
“You are preparing for your departure!”
“In fact, you can leave as well. You just need to take the Golden Book of Fate of Heaven Realm World with you!” Zhou Bao cast a meaningful glance at Fate Creation Boy and added, “You have to understand that Heaven Realm World is the focus. It’s closely connected with the Void Immortal Realm. It’s merely an accident that you can take control of it this time, but you cannot be the Fate Creator of such a macro world for long!”
“Do you think I can get away from the turmoil once I depart from here?”
“At least it can offer you more time to see things more clearly!” Zhou Bao sighed gently and continued, “It might be a good choice to abandon Heaven Realm World and leave this damn place!”
“I won’t make such a choice unless I have no alternative. What’s more, your behavior has brought profound changes to this matter!”
“Changes can be good and bad at different times!”
“It is giving me more opportunities. I want to give it a try and I hope I can seize them!”
“Then I wish you good luck!” Zhou Bao smiled. Since he failed to convince Fate Creation Boy to leave, he would not impose his opinions on him. Though Fate Creation Boy was a special person, he was not an essential part of his plan. “At any rate, I don’t want to get involved in this matter anymore!”
“Do you think you will be able to escape from here?”
“I’ve made up my mind to depart and it’s the best chance now!” Zhou Bao laughed. “By the way, I’ll take some people with me and I hope you won’t mind!”
“Humph, you’d better take all the people in the Seven-deity Regions away!” Fate Creation Boy stated, after thinking for a moment.
“No!” Although Zhou Bao was startled by his words, he quickly shook his head and refused to take up his proposal. “If you are willing to help me, I’ll take all the mortals away. I won’t take any practitioners except for the people from Immortal Palace and some of my friends. By the way, what the hell is Spiritual Treasure?”
