Chapter 850: Coincidence Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Why was there a need to come to the Immortal Realm?

This was a question, but could not be considered as one.

Based on Zhou Bao’s character, it did not matter to him whether he was at the Immortal Realm or not. Even if he was not there, he had unlimited combat capability, a Supreme Fairy Weapon and his Azure Big World. He could survive well in the Void Universe. Thinking about it, there seemed to be no one there who could do anything to him.

But this was just in a normal situation.

What was considered a normal situation?

A normal situation is one without any tribulation happening. Right now, the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was taking place. As a Tribulation Taker, even if he had an unlimited fate, what good would run away from the troublesome Tribulation of Heaven and Earth do for him?

When it came to the World-ending Tribulation, he could not run away. He had to face it eventually.

Furthermore, as a Tribulation Taker, by running away from a tribulation, his fate that was interconnected with the tribulation would then disappear. Previously Zhou Bao used to think that it was no big deal, but thinking about it, didn’t Celestial Mystery Emperor, the well-known Emperor from antiquity times, die in Zhou Bao’s hands due to this exact reason?

After running away from the tribulation this time, perhaps, he might die in the hands of another person who had great luck, just like what happened to the Celestial Mystery Emperor. This was something that Zhou Bao would never be able to accept.

Hence, the only thing he should do was to deal with the problem. The only way for him to improve was by facing the tribulation directly and break through it. The Immortal Realm happened to be the best battlefield to do so.

The Void Immortal Realm was an Alien World created by ancient Taoist Jins who were Celestial Immortals. The Realm was the most magical world in the whole Void Universe and it was also the core of the universe. This was where all tribulations ended, which was why Zhou Bao came to the Immortal Realm.

Of course, this was also the reason why the other four Tribulation Takers were also at the Immortal Realm.

It was a rhetorical question.

Zhou Bao was a little embarrassed. He had inadvertently asked a stupid question.

“Fine, since we now know the background of these four people, my future actions can be carried out more smoothly. Thank you, seniors, for taking care of me during the past few days. I have already prolonged my stay here in the Fifth Manor, so it is time for me to leave.”

“Seems like you’ve made up your mind!” Seeing that Zhou Bao was determined to leave, both Qing Feng and Ming Yue did not stop him. “Take this, it might be useful in the future!”

“What?” Zhou Bao trembled slightly and received the item from Ming Yue. It was a light golden talisman.

“This is the sky-escaping Talisman. It has a mysterious connection to the Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain. If you come across a life-or-death situation that you’re unable to resolve, activate this Talisman and you’ll immediately return to the Fifth Manor! No matter where you are in the Immortal Realm, no matter what inhibition you’re facing, you can come back immediately. But you can only use this once!”

“Thank you very much!” Zhou Bao thanked them repeatedly.

There was no need to talk about the value of this item. This thing was equivalent to a spare life. No matter what danger he would be facing, as long as he activated the Talisman, he could escape from it. Although he could only use it once, it was still a huge favor!

This was a favor that Zhou Bao could not reciprocate at the moment. Hence, he could only keep this goodwill in mind. At the same time, he was also a little suspicious about how well the Fifth Manor took care of him.

“You don’t have to suspect anything. We don’t know why, but the master has asked us to give all these to you. The master has high expectations of you, but the reason behind it is not clear to us disciples.”

After he left Fifth Manor, Zhou Bao felt a little lost. What did it mean when Taoist Zhen Yuan was said to have high expectations of him? Had he discovered something about Zhou Bao’s background?

These were all questions that had no answers. There was no way he could run to Taoist Zhen Yuan in the Extraterritorial Area to ask about this matter.

The Immortal Realm was vast. After leaving Fifth Manor, Zhou Bao was lost for a moment. Luckily, before he left, Qing Feng and Ming Yue had explained to him in detail about the Void Immortal Realm. Hence, he was able to find his way and not end up running around aimlessly like a headless fly.

The Fifth Manor was located in a sanctum in the Immortal Realm. It occupied a vast piece of land that had a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. In this territory, there was no other influence other than the Fifth Manor. The vast piece of land was controlled by Qing Feng and Ming Yue.

“Walk towards the east for 680 million miles and you’ll find the Red Flame River. There should be a bigger town opposite the river. Damn it, why is this place so big?” Zhou Bao grumbled to himself. 680 million miles was not far when one was in the Void Universe. He only had to break through the space and he would be there immediately. But here, in this part of the Immortal Realm, he could not do that. The only thing he could do was to refine his Supreme Fairy Weapon, the Black Pearl, and head towards the west.

Red Flame City!!!

In the Immortal Realm, it was considered a small town on the outskirts, close to the Red Flame River.

The Red Flame River was a big red river. The Original Spirit and Dharma of the flame filled the river. Many flame spirit creatures lived there. These spirit creatures had immense capabilities which made them comparable to a Human Immortal. Some had even reached the Immortal Realm. The ruler of the whole river was a spirit creature that had reached the Earthly Immortal realm. It was the Red Fire Emperor.

Red Flame City was under the rule of the Red Fire Emperor.

Red Flame City, the small city at the outskirts, was, strictly speaking, just a trading venue. The Immortal Realm had rich resources; be it human practitioners, monster practitioners or even demon practitioners and Devil Practitioners, they all needed many resources. Countless resources had to be compiled so they could be accumulated into a mighty power.

Hence, there were trade markets in the Immortal Realm. People came and went and traded with whatever they had. Red Flame City was controlled by the spirit creatures living in the Red Flame River. They traded in all kinds of precious treasures from the Immortal Realm to gain resources for practice purposes.

Since Zhou Bao was looking for clues to the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, the duo from the Fifth Manor suggested that he go to Red Flame City to take a look. Perhaps, he would be able to find some clues related to this Divine Sense.

Of course, they did not expect Zhou Bao to find the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique in Red Flame City. As for Zhou Bao, he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the Immortal Realm. Hence, he took their advice and went to the city nearest to the Fifth Manor.

Because of the special environment, it was super easy to practice in the Immortal Realm. Hence, there were all sorts of practitioners. They were everywhere and had their share of influence, be it the Demonic Cultivation or the Devil Practitioner. Due to the lack of a unified management, the ones who were the majority took up all the favored spots and assumed the role of the local bully. Since the resources would never run out, there was no need to fight and snatch. Hence, it was much more peaceful when compared to the Void Universe. Each tribe was able to co-exist peacefully. Besides, they were all practitioners and were all seeking longevity and peace. Why would they risk their lives to fight with others over nothing? It was not worth fighting and using one’s life as a sacrifice.

In Red Flame City, there were many flame spirit creatures. These creatures had spiritual intelligence and were as complex as humans. They had been doing business in Red Flame City for a long time, and knew all the ropes to it, which left Zhou Bao bewildered.

For a human practitioner like Zhou Bao, he had seen too many spirit creatures in Red Flame City. It was a small town on the outskirts but was also a place where many human practitioners came to visit. Many practitioners at the Immortal realm, be it the human practitioners, Demonic Cultivators, Devil Practitioners or the strange practitioners evolved from some strange species, liked to explore the Immortal Realm. They were there to seek all kinds of rare treasures and useful items. This served as a sort of preparation for them when they entered the Earthly Immortals’ Great Way. Hence, it was nothing strange to see one or two more human practitioners in Red Flame City.

Zhou Bao’s clothing was very ordinary; he had on his usual cyan robe. There was nothing exceptional in his attire or attitude. Nobody would notice him even if he did not blend into the crowd.

The city was centered around the spirit creatures of the Red Flame River. These spirit creatures were the same as humans but they had red-colored skin. There were also faint markings on their bare red skin. These were not engravings or tattoos; they were born with it. Other than these two factors, they were very similar to humans.

After walking past a few stalls, Zhou Bao’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed. If he brought these things to the Human World and the Void Universe, they would be considered rare treasures and countless practitioners would fight for them. Zhou Bao was jealous and wanted them, but the problem was, he had no money.

Money!

Of course, in the Void Immortal Realm, money was not used. Here, they used another type of hard currency, called the Zhu Huang Elixir.

The Zhu Huang Elixir was a type of Immortal Elixir. It had great effects and could greatly increase the Dharma power of a practitioner without any side effects. Hence, this was used as a hard currency in the Void Immortal Realm. People used the Zhu Huang Elixir to mark their prices when trading and selling. Of course, they could also use items to exchange for another. However, Zhou Bao was a country bumpkin who had just arrived from the Human World to the Void Immortal Realm. Even if he had anything of value, it would only be of value back in the Human World; how could anything compare to the resources in the Immortal Realm? Hence, after taking a tour around the market in Red Flame City, Zhou Bao did not make any purchases, despite eyeing many things.

Unknowingly, Zhou Bao had spent half a day browsing in the market and at the end of it, he had a strange look on his face.

“Damn it, this whole money thing is making my life difficult! Do I have to find a job to earn money after coming to the Immortal Realm?!” Thinking of this, Zhou Bao could not help but laugh at the situation.

“Junior Leopard, why are you here too?”

“What?” Zhou Bao’s expression changed. He turned around swiftly and froze. “Chief Wang, what are you doing here?”

Both Wang She and Zhou Bao were shocked. From Zhou Bao’s point-of-view, Wang She should be in Heaven Realm World at this point in time.

“Seems like this world is really small!” As if he understood why Zhou Bao was shocked, Wang She could not help but laugh bitterly.

“The Celestial Immortal remains!”
