Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 778: Guesses

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Like what Child-endowing Buddha said, he was a Grand Demon from antiquity times and his cultivation was at the Immortal’s realm. Although he could not be called an emperor, he was one of the few Demon Kings. In the antiquity times, Demon kings like him were ranked just below the 99 Emperors and were influential characters who had great impact. However, he had been inexplicably sealed after a battle. In a flash, a million years had gone by. In the end, he was rescued by a teen who was not even 20 years old. For many years, this teen had kept him captive and Child-endowing Buddha had witnessed Zhou Bao rising step by step. He observed how Zhou Bao caused all sorts of trouble and obtained all his wonderful opportunities before he eventually reached the peak of the Void Universe. Although Zhou Bao was currently only at the Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint realm, his combat capability was strong enough to defeat everyone below the rank of an Earthly Immortal. If he used the Heavenly Fairy Weapon to help him, he could even kill Earthly Immortals. Not only was this kind of power shocking in this day and age, it was equally an eye-opener during antiquity times.

Following the initial shock and relief, he found that things were not quite right after thinking through the situation. How could something like this happen in this world? Such coincidence and such fate! Even the Jade Emperors in the antiquity times would not have this kind of fate, let alone a common person.

Then, what was the reason behind this? How could a common person have such a fate? Why was he involved with this common person, and eventually in the mess at Heaven Realm World?

The irony was that initially he thought he was lucky to have gained such a huge advantage. Now, it seemed like he had been set up.

After he realized that he had been set up, at this current stage, he felt fearful.

“During the antiquity times, I discovered a huge secret of Heaven Realm World that’s very helpful to what I’m doing now!” Recalling this, Child-endowing Buddha’s gaze darkened a little. “If I had already been set up since that time, then this person is very scary. Perhaps, even the Jade Emperor could not do the same thing. Judging by your adventures in the past decade, your fate is really good, so much so that it scares me. It even seems like there’s a purpose behind this!”

“There’s a purpose behind this? Do you think it is the Emperor of Azure Heaven?”

“No, he’s incapable of doing so. He has given all his attention to Azure Heaven. Hence, this time around, perhaps even the Emperor of Azure Heaven may have been set up and may undergo a huge setback!”

“Oh, is it really that scary?”

“If there really is someone behind this, then that’s terrifying. The Emperor of Azure Heaven is an Earthly Immortal and one of the 99 Emperors. However, it is still hard for him to escape the fate of being set up!”

“Then, among those that you know, is there anyone capable of doing this?”

“None of them. Even the Jade Emperor’s works may not be as detailed as this. Perhaps, it could have been done by some ancient Divine King. Or maybe, the calculations were done by the mighty powers from primitive times. Don’t think that just because you’re full of glory and have some capabilities, the ancient Divine Kings and mighty powers from primitive times can’t reduce you to ashes. They could do that with just a swift hand motion!”

Child-endowing Buddha paused for a while, as if he realized something. “Yes, yes, yes! Only the ancient Divine Kings and mighty powers from the primitive times have such skills! Don’t think too highly of yourself, you and I are just tiny pawns in this game. Your combat capability is just half a step away from an Earthly Immortal’s and you can kill an Earthly Immortal with that red gourd. But what about it if that’s the case? Hehe, the Earthly Immortals are also separated into ranks! They can give you so much in just a mere decade, which means that they can also snatch them all away in the shortest possible time. These kind of examples were not rare during antiquity times!”

Zhou Bao closed his eyes. Child-endowing Buddha seemed to be exaggerating. Perhaps, part of what he said was true, but some were not, for sure. He thought carefully about all the things that he encountered throughout this journey of practice. He had walked each step on his own and did not rely on any external help. Perhaps some strange fate and people that he met were planned, but his comprehension of his fist intent had been done entirely on his own. But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he was dripping in cold sweat. Come to think of it, it seemed like only the fist intent had been mastered on his own. Apart from that, it was possible that everything else had been set up. Be it Xue Wuya from the beginning or the many secret skills and Pure Yang Celestial Devices that he gained, or even the fairy weapons, as well as Azure Heaven and The Black Pearl... they seemed to have been planned by some mighty power. It was just that they were done so perfectly, even his fist intent.

“No, I got my fist intent from trial and error, that cannot have been planned!”

“Why, did you recall something? Are you scared now?”

“Scared? Hmph! What’s there to be scared of? I’ll battle against incoming troops and use sandbags to block out floods. I, Zhou Bao, have never been afraid of anyone. So what if someone sets me up? Like what you said, people like us are just chess pieces, we can never change the game. At most, when things are falling apart, I’ll just leave! What’s there to be afraid of?”

“You don’t really mean that. If everything is all part of a plan, you may think that you can leave, but by that time, maybe even a Supreme Fairy Weapon can’t deter the enemy! If you damage their chess piece, they will destroy you!”

“Then do you have any good ideas?”

“What ideas can I possibly have? I’m in the game as well. It’s hard to take control of the situation. As of now, we can only go according to the direction the chess pieces are being moved to. Perhaps, we may have a chance of survival at the end. There might even be a better chance! You need to understand, even though this is a game, it is an open one; one that enables us to play freely. We just need to accumulate our strength. There will always be a chance for us to escape, especially for you. If you can elevate your skills to above that of an Earthly Immortal, then we will have more say in the future!”

“My combat capability is already comparable to that of an Earthly Immortal!” Zhou Bao said softly. He thought of the strength of the Patriarchs from Eastern Thunder Sect and added, “At least, I’ve just entered the Earthly Immortal Realm but have yet to stabilize it. I can try my best to fight even without that god-damned Heavenly Fairy Weapon!”

“It’s not enough, not enough! Combat capabilities and phases are two different things. You have to reach the Earthly Immortal phase for things to work!”

“Phase? I haven’t even gathered all of the Five Kinds of Qi; I’m still far from becoming an Earthly Immortal!”

“Then do it quickly, break through the Earthly Immortal realm and reach the Immortal realm!” Child-endowing Buddha answered. “Don’t think about anything else. Work hard on elevating your capabilities. That is the root of all things. Without capabilities, you can forget about everything else!”

“Of course, I know that. But do you think that’s an easy thing to accomplish? Even if I could adjust the speed of time in Azure Big World, I can’t reach the Earthly Immortal realm so quickly!” Zhou Bao said impatiently, “As for you, what secret did you discover during the antiquity times that caused people to set you up and dragging me in too!”

Zhou Bao’s words almost caused Child-endowing Buddha to faint from anger. “What do you mean by dragging you in? There is no connection between the two of us; it’s just your bad moral standards!”

“Ok fine, stop talking about these useless things. So what is that big secret?”

“Heaven Realm World actually has a connection with the essence of the Void Universe. That is why it has always been the core of the universe since the Primordial Origin. But there’s some trouble now!”

“The essence of the Void Universe? What does that mean?”

“Heaven Realm World has a close connection with the essence of the Void Universe. There is a spatial gap that consists of many Space Nodes. These Space Nodes extends to a huge meridian in Heaven Realm World like branches of a tree. It spreads across the whole world. Hence, many places in the world that look safe are actually very dangerous!”

“Dangerous? What’s the use of these Space Nodes?”

“As long as I’m willing, I can cast anyone from Heaven Realm World into the unknown spacetime whenever I want to!” Child-endowing Buddha said softly, “I think this is also why I am in charge of guiding those macro worlds and influences!”

Casting anyone from Heaven Realm World into the unknown spacetime whenever he wants to!

Whatever could that mean?

Zhou Bao did not understand. For a practitioner, it was not a scary thing to be cast away into some unknown spacetime. As long as he had the capability, he could come back anytime, especially for those that had practiced the Great Way of Heavens and Realms, like Zhou Bao!

“Don’t think of it as a simple issue. This unknown spacetime is not the one in the Void Universe. It’s a spacetime outside of the universe, like the Devil Realm!”

“What!”

Zhou Bao stood up suddenly. “What in the world? Casting someone into the Devil Tribe suddenly? That’s basically killing them! Even Earthly Immortals will be tortured to death in that borderless Devil Realm!”

“Yes, exactly, it’s about casting them outside of the Void Universe!” There was a strange expression on Child-endowing Buddha’s face. “Also, if I calculate the launch of the Space Node accurately, all practitioners below the Earthly Immortal Realm will definitely be sent away. As for the Earthly Immortals, if they do not take care, it may happen to them too!”

“You’re in charge of helping all influences and macro worlds to establish themselves. I’m sure you’re perfectly clear whether or not those Space Nodes have to be calculated by you?”

“Yes, after I woke up, I calculated all the important Space Nodes in Heaven Realm World. Hmm, don’t be fooled when you see Fate Creation Boy floating around in the depths of the endless spacetime in Taihua Mountain. Let me tell you, as long as I’m willing, I can send that Taihua Mountain to the Devil Realm anytime!”

“I had no idea that you’re actually the controller of Heaven Realm World! I’m sorry for my lack of respect!”

“Don’t mock me. I’m just getting everything off my chest. Small fights and quarrels are nothing. But if I want to do something big, I only have one chance!”

“You’re actually intending to do it?”

“Yes, this may be the reason why I’ve lived till now and will continue to live!” Child-endowing Buddha smiled.
