Chapter 855: Starting to Face the Rock Cliff Sect

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Rock Cliff Sect!

This sect that had originated from a place high up in the mountain disappeared millions of years ago.

In the Immortal Realm, a mountain had to be at least ten million feet in height to be considered high.

The top of this mountain seemed to have been flattened by an immense force. It collapsed and the place had a desolate air about it.

At the foot of Rock Cliff Sect mountain lay a small town.

After the ruins of the Rock Cliff Sect were discovered in this small town, it was gradually rebuilt. It was not very big but had already outgrown Red Flame City in size.

It was nearing the day that the Rock Cliff Sect ruins were to be opened. For the past million years the site opening times were very irregular. Sometimes it only opened once in tens of thousands of years and other times it opened every several thousands of years. If it had been placed in the Void Universe, the opening date would never be confirmed. But this was not the Void Universe, it was the Void Immortal Realm.

There were many similar ruins in the Void Immortal Realm. Furthermore, in a compromise between the great powers, where the top-level took into consideration the honing of the skills of the bottom level practitioners, the opening day of the ruins was not kept secret. So on each opening day, the small village at the foot of the Rock Cliff Sect would welcome countless explorers and practitioners seeking opportunities.

Practitioners streamed in endlessly, seeking treasures. Naturally, Zhou Bao had plenty of opportunities too and he swaggered into Rock Cliff City along with the procession of practitioners.

After he had successfully obtained the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy from the Crown Prince, he beheaded him. He had not been given the slightest chance. This had greatly offended the Jade Emperor Sage and Jade Emperor Palace was coming for him in the Immortal Realm. But he was not in the least worried.

After the so-called Jade Emperor Crown Prince had killed and robbed the tribulation takers, they were fated to never be able to resolve their conflict with Jade Emperor Palace.

Tribulation takers could not be randomly killed and if they were killed, their fates could not be plundered so casually. These Jade Emperor Crown Princes were not tribulation takers, so they did not have the ability to carry out the tasks. But they had a great leader who gave them the ability, although this ability was not perfect compared to those who were true tribulation takers. They could only steal half of the tribulation takers’ fates, but this was already considered a large amount. These were virtually man-made tribulation takers; it was not clear whether the methods they had taken for themselves were better than those of the sword schools. But it was enough to demonstrate the Jade Emperor Sage’s tyranny.

Tyranny!

This was a common characteristic of the Way of the Emperors’ practice. Once they had everything they required in hand, they turned them into pawns for their own use; all living things in the universe were made to crawl under their feet. These living things could only obey their commands respectfully before finally being enslaved.

Yes, they enslaved all living things!

The highest and most sought-after state of the Way of the Emperor was enslavement, the enslavement of all things!

This state and way of thinking was completely contrary to practice. But if one day they were able to practice to a prestigious level, this was enough to fill the practitioners with glory and satisfaction. It was said that this feeling of satisfaction surpassed everything else, including the feeling of unlimited ascension through the phases.

This was what disgusted Zhou Bao the most.

Zhou Bao sought to practice in completely the opposite way of the Way of the Emperor. He sought complete freedom so that no-one or nothing had any way of restricting him. Everything he did was for this goal.

Freedom and enslavement!

These were completely contrary propositions and he was fated to oppose those practitioners of the Way of the Emperor.

Of course, his old father in law did not care about the cultivation of the Way of the Emperor.

There was too much difference between the levels. Yan Yuntian had, at best, the ability of a ruler of a country. Although his power had some scope, it was not enough. Thinking about it, for several years he was the Human Emperor of Heaven Realm and during this time the situation in Heaven Realm World had worsened. If it were not for Fate Creation Boy and his son-in-law propping it up in the background, he would not have maintained his power there. If this type of person practiced the Way of the Emperor, he would definitely not be bullied.

Now, Zhou Bao walked the Immortal Realm not in his own body, but using a sword incarnation.

After meeting with Jade Emperor Crown Prince, Zhou Bao realized that Jade Emperor Palace was totally ready to seize the tribulation takers’ fates. They had dug out every bit of information about the Human World tribulation takers. If he did not move quickly, then all the people he was related to would be taken into Azure Big World. This Jade Emperor Palace could even use his family members to blackmail him with. The Emperor would use any means on hand.

Right now Zhou Bao did not have anything to worry about, but he also did not want to be stuck in the Immortal Realm. Wherever he went there were people looking for him and he felt this was not good. This was why he walked the Immortal Realm using a sword incarnation.

After all, the Jade Emperor Palace knew that he had the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations and that he had cultivated three incarnations. But they would never have thought that he had infused the Immortal-killing Sword Qi with the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi and cultivated a new Yin and Yang Heavenly Natal Sword. He only depended on his sword incarnation and his combat capability would be no less than that of an average Earthly Immortal. He might even have the chance to behead an Earthly Immortal.

Therefore, it was probably safe to walk the Immortal Realm in a sword incarnation.

His speculation proved to be correct. He did not run into any problems for several months. On the contrary, he went through several transmissions. Walking around the Immortal Realm he gained a deeper understanding of things, including Jade Emperor Palace.

The Jade Emperor Sage oversaw Jade Emperor Palace. It was one of the three biggest powers in the Immortal Realm and the most tyrannical. Of course, others could not understand this tyranny, after all, the Jade Emperor Sage had practiced the Way of the Emperor. The characteristics of this Way could not be concealed from the Immortal Realm practitioners.

However, this did not mean that Jade Emperor Palace could do as they pleased across the Immortal Realm, as the realm was too big. Jade Emperor Palace and the Chaotic Poisonous Sea were in the eye of a storm. The three big powers had a limited scope of influence and outside of that, they did not dare commit the same kind of offenses they did in their local areas. Maybe Celestial Immortals were already not part of the great powers, they only had Earthly Immortal overseers. But there were many ancient sects that were passed down, and they had connections to the Celestial Immortals using Taoist rites in the Extraterritorial Areas. There was one sect left behind from the Taoist rites in the Immortal Realm. Provoking them was equivalent to provoking the Celestial Immortals behind them. Jade Emperor Palace would not be willing to do that. So the three great powers in the Immortal Realm were at most only a part of the biggest influences. They did not have the absolute power of rule.

In the Immortal Realm, there was no force with true ruling powers.

Over the past month, Zhou Bao felt that the most amazing thing was the news of Jade Emperor Palace’s killing and robbing of tribulation takers, which by now had been made known to everyone

But the Zhou Bao and other tribulation takers were also gaining fame in the Immortal Realm. Not only were their names spreading across the realm, but also their basic information and Divine Senses, making them moderately famous in the Immortal Realm.

This was the reason why Zhou Bao had to disguise himself.

Otherwise, he would definitely be recognized while he was there.

The news of the other tribulation takers had, of course, also reached him. He was severely disappointed to learn that among the five Tribulation Takers, two of them had been hunted down and killed by the Jade Emperor.

The Northernmost Sea macro world Tribulation Taker Huang Lei had died at the hands of Jade Emperors’ Second Crown Prince. His magic weapons, Divine Sense and half of his fate had been seized and the Second Crown Prince immediately became the most powerful Crown Prince in the palace. They secretly replaced traces of the Jade Emperor Sage’s position. The only other comparable person was the Ninth Princess who beheaded Ying Hu, the other tribulation taker.

Yes, Ninth Princess, not Crown Prince.

The Jade Emperor’s Ninth Princess successfully beheaded Ying Hu, tribulation taker of the West Wilds macro world. She plundered all his magic weapons, his Divine Sense, half of his fate and her power in Jade Emperor Palace rose abruptly.

The third tribulation taker had once launched a sneak attack on his own Man Yujun and had returned to his sword school to do closed-door training and never came out. Any observant person would know that he was keeping low but few knew that he had suffered a sneak attack by Zhou Bao and his pneuma had been damaged.

Another tribulation taker, Kong Ti of the South China macro world, was like Zhou Bao. He had killed a Jade Emperor Crown Prince, and along with Zhou Bao, was placed at the very top of Jade Emperor Palace’s wanted list.

However, also like Zhou Bao, after he killed the Fifth Crown Prince, he went into hiding and disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had vanished from the Immortal Realm; no one knew where he had gone. There were no clues as to where to find him.

“Haha, if the Jade Emperor Palace lost Your Excellency, they would not see how Wang She could gain a foothold in the Immortal Realm in such a short time. He would take over the Taoist Snake intelligence network. Compared to me, he is truly blessed!”

Wang She was really blessed. Now, the news had almost spread throughout the Immortal Realm, disseminated by him through the intelligence network. You could see from this just how effective the intelligence network established by the Taoist Snake was. In such a short time it had spread the news through half the Immortal Realm and caused a great stir.

“Fellow Taoist!” A practitioner dressed in white, walked up to Zhou Bao as he stood at the gate of the Rock Cliff City looking at the wanted list suspended in midair at Jade Emperor Palace. “Fellow Taoist, have you come for the remnants of the Rock Cliff Sect?”

“Yes. I have come for the remnants of the Rock Cliff Sect. Have you as well, Your Excellency?” Zhou Bao glanced at the practitioner in white, feeling a small wave of excitement. This person had just broken through to the Immortal state, but he harbored such a strong potential that it made Zhou Bao feel uneasy.
