Omnipotent Sage 804 Beginning the Tribulation

Traveling back from Taihua Mountain to his own territory, Zhou Bao's mood grew heavy. His unexpected discovery at the Falling Star Reef, as well as his exploration in the Immortal Realm passageway, came to nothing. What a joke. There was a Supreme Fairy Weapon there. If people like the Celestial Mystery Emperor were not so stupid, then that passageway would certainly have been inside a Supreme Fairy Weapon and bounded in layers of protection. But Zhou Bao discovered that it had no effect. It would be the same as relying on the Alien World Earthly Immortals to attack the Falling Star Reef with force. It would cause huge problems for the Fate Creation Boy. Under this situation, it would be best to just prepare for changes and deal with them calmly when they occur.

"There was one, then there were two Supreme Fairy Weapons. Even Fate Creation Boy had some limits: there were some places he could not find, not to mention the emperors of antiquity times able to hide freely from the fate creator. They did not leave and did not disappear, they just seemed to be looking at us like idiots!" Zhou Bao smiled wryly, but he knew that this speculation of his would not make any sense. Those Great Ancient Emperors really did hide, but they also had a huge limitation. They could not be so uncaring as in antiquity times.

"Where is the problem actually occurring?" This was the problem Zhou Bao was most concerned about. In antiquity times this Heaven Realm World ruled the heavens and realms. They were masters like the clouds, strong like the rain. Most importantly, countless Earthly Immortals had already fought in the Heaven Realm World and had run into countless Supreme Fairy Weapons. At that time, how could the Heaven Realm World have supported such an undulating power? Now, Zhou Bao could remember clearly his own Supreme Fairy Weapon from that time. When the Black Pearl appeared in the Divine Wind Palace, the whole Heaven Realm World seemed to tremble as if in an epileptic seizure. If he had not have come and left so quickly, the Fate Creation Boy might have had to come to fight at all costs.

Why was it this way? What changed the Heaven Realm World so much to make the first macro world of that time so fragile?

"Maybe this all happened because the pneuma in the Heaven Realm World disappeared too fast?" Zhou Bao pondered. However, he did not get an accurate answer because everything seemed to be shrouded in some thick fog. Although he had uncovered one part of this fog, in the end, he was even more perplexed and did not know what to do next.

Because of his plans with the Fate Creation Boy, everything would revolve around the Immortal Realm passageway. He just had to find it, and everything would be fine. But the problem was actually that they could not find the passageway, and even if they could they could not reach it. No wonder the Fate Creation Boy looked so dispirited.

"It looks like the Fate Creation Boy is already rattled, so I should consider this matter myself!" As Zhou Bao thought of the expression the Fate Creation Boy had when he left, he felt a sense of urgency.

"I have to move quickly, otherwise, if I wait until the Devil Tribe breaks through the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, then it would be too late to make a move!" Zhou Bao made his mind up firmly and got started. Orders were sent down, and the Wuyang Region became a refined machine, working at great speed.

Of course, Zhou Bao would not be stupid enough to let people come straight into the Azure Big World, the Heaven Realm World would not be able to support it. Zhou Bao had a simple method. First, he would refine the endless spacetime surrounding the Heaven Realm World into a Highest Heaven Celestial Device. This device had one function: to transport people. On top of this Highest Heaven Celestial Device would be several gateways for people to enter. Finally, after receiving the device and leaving the Heaven Realm World he would place people into the Azure Big World. Of course, they would not be placed directly into the world, but into the world in the Highest Heaven Celestial Device, which had almost the same environment as the Heaven Realm World.

He would place his most trusted people on there.

That was his plan.

However, the plan was difficult to implement because of several changes. When the Wuyang Region was gearing up to completely undermine the Heaven Realm World, some bad news emerged.

"What? Traces of the Dark Sect have been found inside Great Jin? And maybe the Devil Tribe? How is this possible?"

This pieces of news were given to Zhou Bao in the early morning. At first, he thought that this could not have been possible. He had rooted out the Dark Sect that very day. He did so quite thoroughly. Not only did he wipe out the Elder disciples in the Dark Sect of the Heaven Realm World, but he had also destroyed all of the Dark Sect's cultivation methods. Because he had carried this out with the Fate Creation Boy's help, he could not miss out any Elder disciples. Despite this, traces of the Dark sect emerged in Jin. How was this possible?

Even if there was a hidden member of the Dark Sect he had not gotten rid of, he would not be foolish enough to become active now. Supposing he was active again, he would not choose Jin, right? In any case, Jin was right under Zhou Bao's nose. The Jin Emperor was his uncle. Only someone impulsive and impatient would do this.

"Maybe it was —!"

Although Zhou Bao's first feeling was that this news was impossible, his instinct told him that someone really had slipped through the net in the huge Seoverlooking Gate Tower. They could only hide in a place that the Fate Creation Boy could not control, like the Falling Star Reef. This way, the situation would be controlled and they would start mobilizing. There were definitely hints telling Zhou Bao about this latest situation, and he came to the conclusion that this was a trap to lure him in.

It was the Celestial Mystery Emperor's band who were trying to lure him in!

But why were they doing that? A group of men with that strength would come straight out to deal with him, this is how they dealt with the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven. Why would they lure him into Jin? Maybe it was something else?

Zhou Bao seemed a little confused. "Maybe it's to lure me away from my Wuyang Region so they can take it on? No. If they were going to sort this out like they did the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven, once the battle started, the Wuyang Region would cease to exist. Perhaps they had another purpose? Or perhaps they worried about making a move? Yes, that's it!"

Zhou Bao pondered for a while and gradually grasped the heart of the matter. They were unscrupulous in how they dealt with the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven because he was too weak. They only had to send an Immortal to dispose of him. They had no room to turn themselves around. But Zhou Bao was not the same. He had actual combat capability, he got his reputation in exchange for the life of an Earthly Immortal. So, the person dealing with him would have to be someone at the Earthly Immortal level.

But Earthly Immortals could not just undertake tasks whenever they wanted. They had taboos. It was very normal for them to have misgivings. And even if they had no misgivings at all, coming straight to Wuyang Region with their PK, it would be something they just couldn't do.

"So they want to lure me to a place where the Earthly Immortals can attack. Wait, let me think. That would be the coastal city, right by the ocean at the extreme south of Jin. Maybe it's the Vast Sea Emperor that wants to deal with me?" Several clues came together, and Zhou Bao was pretty close to working it all out.

"Haha. If the Great Ancient Emperor wanted to attack me, then that group of guys must really think highly of me!" Zhou Bao laughed to himself. "It seems that they are hiding some secret other than the Immortal Realm passageway in Falling Star Reef, and do not want anybody to find out. They must be hiding the Seoverlooking Gate Tower, hidden by a Supreme Fairy Weapon inside the Heaven Realm World. Damn, what are those guys actually up to?"

Zhou Bao did not know what those guys were actually planning. However, he had to get involved with the Dark Sect in Jin, if nothing else because of the Anyuan Store. Many people were trapped there, and if he did nothing about it, some of his loyal subordinates might feel unfairly treated. But if he did something about it, he might very well come up against the Vast Sea Emperor.

He was no normal Earthly Immortal, even if Zhou Bao had the power for three strikes he would be hard to withstand.

"The Vast Sea Emperor, the power for three strikes!" Zhou Bao seemed to have been caught in a dilemma. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. He suddenly opened them again. "Hmph. So what if it was the Vast Sea Emperor? I would certainly be able to use the power for three strikes, but this is the Heaven Realm World. If I really used all my power, the Heaven Realm would be half destroyed. Those men probably don't want the Heaven Realm to be half destroyed, which means I have an opportunity. Besides, they would want the Devil Tribe to enter the Heaven Realm World, right? Therefore, it would be best to take this opportunity, with good reason, to cause a problem in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, and put the Devil Tribe in there. This would save waiting for them to make a move and would save anything unexpected from happening!" In a moment Zhou Bao had already made his decision. "I really should take this opportunity and use the Vast Sea Emperor to see how powerful the great emperors of antiquity times are to deal with the big changes in the near future!"

Zhou Bao had no clue what this big change was, but he was sure that it would not be the current Devil Tribulation. Heaven knows how many Devil Tribulations had occurred in the boundless hollow and infinite time of the Void Universe. The Void Universe was currently fine and every macro world was safe and stable. Right now there have been no changes from the Devil Tribulation. There were none before, and there won't be any this time. Moreover, since the Fate Creation Boy had already started moving, he now wanted to retreat. Zhou Bao could not deal with the ending of the Heaven Realm World, and had no responsibility to do so. But just accepting things was not his style. He liked to actively fight. He did not know when the Celestial Mystery Emperor group wanted to place the Devil Tribe inside, but he was sure that it would not be now. Because of this, using them could quite possibly introduce some unknown variables!
