Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 848: The Young Master of the Sword School

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Jade Emperor, the head of the ancient 99 Emperors, had completed the Way of the Emperor, and become a Celestial Immortal. This was totally exceeding Zhou Bao’s expectations.

“You must have never known that the Jade Emperor finally came to the Void Immortal Realm, became a Celestial Immortal, and established the Jade Emperor Palace!” Qing Feng suddenly laughed. “Actually, we were also surprised when we first heard the news. But that’s the truth. The Jade Emperor did succeed. Though he was the last of the three Celestial Immortals to succeed, he is the strongest. In less than a million years, he developed the Jade Emperor Palace into the third largest power in the Immortal Realm. That was not easy!”

“Could the Jade Emperor Sage be behind the Celestial Mystery Emperor making trouble in the Human World?”

“Of course. Unlike other Celestial Immortals, what he practices is the Way of the Emperor. Amongst the 3,000 Great Ways, it’s the most connected to living creatures in the Void Universe. Even if he has become a Celestial Immortal, he cannot abandon his foundation. And his cultivation and strength are inextricably linked with his foundation, like the deities in ancient deities times.”

“Like the deities?!” Zhou Bao smiled helplessly, “So I offended a Celestial Immortal before I even entered the Void Immortal Realm?!”

“Yes. The Jade Emperor Palace has issued an order to hunt down and kill you. That’s why we brought you here the minute you showed up!” Ming Yue said, “No matter how bold the Jade Emperor Sage may be, he would not dare to offend our Fifth Manor. As long as you stay here, you’ll be all right!”

“I’ll be safe in hiding, of course, but that’s not realistic!” Zhou Bao sighed. “I’m just a nobody. The Jade Emperor Sage isn’t going to kill me himself, is he?”

“You’re a Tribulation Taker, you’re not a nobody! Just as you’re a Tribulation Taker, he won’t kill you himself. But his subordinates won’t let you off the hook!”

“Are there any formidable figures among his subordinates?”

“Well, the most powerful characters of the ancient 99 Emperors are all under him except for the Thunder Emperor and the Emperor of Moon Temple. The Celestial Mystery Emperor, Emperor Youming, Emperor Zichen and Emperor Highest Heaven who were all killed by you were his main team!”

“They are all pretty tough nuts!” Zhou Bao felt his chin, musing for a second, before adding, “But I was surprised that I could kill the Celestial Mystery Emperor.”

“Don’t let it go to your head!” Qing Feng shot back, waving his hand repeatedly. “It was sheer luck that you killed the Celestial Mystery Emperor. The Great Ancient Emperors’ luck has almost run out in the Human World, and your luck is in full swing. Besides, he wasn’t guarding you, so you killed him by a fluke. But in the Immortal Realm, even if their time has passed, their good fortune won’t be lost. That is to say, they are as lucky now as they were in antiquity times. You have good luck as a Tribulation Taker, but you don’t have an advantage over them. What’s more, there are many Supreme Fairy Weapons!”

“So basically, I’d better keep a low profile in the Void Immortal Realm, right?”

“Yes, you get the idea. This is the Immortal Realm after all. With the passage now open, it’s probably not as peaceful as it used to be. All three forces are likely to take the opportunity to expand their influence. As the tribulation approaches, the Celestial Immortals who have Karma are sure to be planning for their own future. If they cannot use this opportunity to get rid of their Karma, they will have a lot of trouble in the future opening up their Taoist rites in the Extraterritorial Area.”

“Gale Sage, Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage and Jade Emperor Sage!” Zhou Bao mumbled. “So, the Immortal Realm won’t be calm either. But no matter how messy things get here, some things are unavoidable!”

“That depends on what you want to do!” Qing Feng smiled. “You’re welcome to stay in the Fifth Manor until the situation becomes clearer.”

Zhou Bao waved his hands and said, “Fish can only be caught in troubled waters. I had no sooner arrived in the Immortal Realm than I encountered an assassination. The assassin knows the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi. He must be one of the Tribulation Takers as well! Can you help me find out more about the other four Tribulation Takers, especially the power of the assassin?”

After a little thought, Ming Yue answered, “This is easy. There are five Tribulation Takers. You are all important men. Your information is all available! Although during the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, Tribulation Takers are linked with the fate of the Void Universe, and no one can conjecture anything about them, it doesn’t mean that no one knows your information. Tribulation Takers are born into tribulations. They generally have amazing fate, and what they have done is amazing too, just like you. In fact, when you became a Ghost Immortal, people began to speculate that you are a Tribulation Taker. From then on, people were searching for your information. The same goes for other Tribulation Takers. Your information can’t be hidden, but people can’t be sure of your cards.”

“Good. How soon can I get their information?”

“Ten days. Stay here ten days, and we will get their information and give it to you!”

“Okay!” Zhou Bao did not mind waiting 10 days. If you knew the enemy and yourself, you could fight a hundred battles and win them all. Since a Tribulation Taker could engulf other Tribulation Takers’ good fortune by killing them, they were doomed to be unable to live in peace. Even if Zhou Bao didn’t intend to kill the others, he had to watch out for them. What was more, he was fascinated by other Tribulation Takers’ good fortune. He was regretting not catching the man who attacked him. If he had known this at the time, he would have done everything he could to catch him and devour his good fortune. That would have given him a considerable advantage in the struggle with other Tribulation Takers.

This was not his illusion, but an inevitable choice in the face of reality.

There were five Tribulation Takers. If he snatched one Tribulation Taker’s good fortune, his fortune would double. Then among the four Tribulation Takers, he would have twice as much good fortune as the others. He would have had an overwhelming advantage.

What a pity!!!

His best chance had passed, and now he could only lurk and watch for the right time to take action. And in this unfamiliar world, full of Earthly Immortals, it was the safest and most favorable decision for him to hide in the Fifth Manor.

While Zhou Bao was waiting in the Fifth Manor for information about other Tribulation Takers, a man with a gloomy face sat cross-legged in another part of the Immortal Realm, trying to force the poison out of his body.

“Damn it, damn it! What is this poison? It’s so poisonous! Even my Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi cannot remove it!”

He was the one who had attacked Zhou Bao when Zhou Bao first arrived in the Immortal Realm. His light yellow magnificent robe had been so badly corroded by Zhou Bao’s Elixir Poison that it looked like a beggar’s ragged robe. Most horrible of all, his body showed all kinds of colors. This was a major symptom of the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast.

But he was no ordinary man. He had attained perfection in the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi, and almost formed the body of the sword spirit. He had not been poisoned to death and could even force most of the poison out bit by bit with his Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi.

“Young master is badly hurt. Is Zhou Bao really that formidable?”

“Yes, Zhou Bao is the Tribulation Taker of the Heaven Realm World. His cultivation is unfathomable. Our young master attacked him unaware, didn’t gain the upper hand, and almost got caught by him!”

“Yeah, yeah. The poison in the young master is the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It has something to do with the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage in the Chaotic Poisonous Sea!”

“What? The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage? That Tribulation Taker is under the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage? No wonder! He’s in trouble now!”

“I agree with you. Why did we go for a young master in the Human World, a Tribulation Taker? Now, here comes a stronger guy, and he’s in big trouble!”

“Hehe, this is good. He has been on his high horse ever since he was brought here from the Human World by the master of the Sword School. Because of the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi he has inherited, he thinks himself the next master of the Sword School. Now that he has offended the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage, he might not get much benefit, even if he really has inherited the Four Immortal-killing Swords!”

Several practitioners whose cultivation was at the peak of the Human Immortal and even the Immortal Realm were on the alert. They were all dressed like the young master in a light yellow robe, armed with fairy weapon swords. The sword of the weakest practitioner was a Lower Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon. It could destroy a common macro world in the Void Universe. But here he could only be on the alert from the periphery.

It was clear, however, that these practitioners had no due respect for their young master. On the contrary, in the exchange of ideas, they showed a great deal of disdain in their communication through divine thoughts. They even gloated over the failure of his raid, as if hoping such a thing would happen again.

“Junior brothers, hold your tongues! The fact that the Tribulation Taker of the Heaven Realm World could manipulate the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast with skill is a big deal. We’d better report it to the master!”
