Omnipotent Sage

“Bad deal, bad deal! Sea Emperor, Vast Sea Emperor! Alas, you have really given me a really lousy deal!”

After he left the Sea Area, Zhou Bao started moaning in his heart. The compensation for the task the Sea Emperor asked him to do was indeed worthwhile—giving him three wonderful techniques out of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. But the problem was that, in fact, he merely obtained one Wonderful Technique, the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, so he felt he had made a loss.

However, Zhou Bao acquired an extra mind’s eye since a delicate seedling had grown in his huge Dantian. Pondering over the words of Fate Creation Boy, who insisted that no one had ever practiced the whole set of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, he thought that it should not be very hard to collect the first five Wonderful Techniques, based on his own experience. But over the past 810,000 years from the end of antiquity times until today and then in the hundreds of thousands of years during antiquity times, how was it that no one had succeeded in collecting the entire package of this Seven Wonderful Techniques? There must be something fishy going on. When he met Sea Emperor, Zhou Bao, who had learned how to conceal his figure since he came to this world, chose to conceal his thoughts as well, without hesitation. But it was precisely due to this concealment that he felt he had ended up with a bad bargain.

“Things like secret skills are really interesting. Putting the Seven Wonderful Techniques aside, let’s look at the Flipping Sky Seal. I’ve already turned it into a magic weapon. So far, there are three secret skills I mastered—in addition to the Seven Wonderful Techniques and the Flipping Sky Seal, I also know the Infinite Trembling Contemplation, which appears to be impossible to be mastered by human beings. Those who are below the Individual Immortal phase can’t practice it. If it was not for my Real Body of Zhuyan, I would not have achieved it so smoothly. But just like the Seven Wonderful Techniques and the Flipping Sky Seal, merely being able to use some effects of the secret skill does not count as having mastered it. Perhaps if one is able to produce the substantial form of the secret skill, then only can it be said that he has truly grasped it. For example, I have produced the substantial form of my Flipping Sky Seal, but as time passes, its power is growing. Well, I shall see what substantial form my Infinite Trembling Contemplation can take in the end!”

Taihua Mountain, in the endless space-time of Heaven Realm World.

Heading out from the Sea Area, Zhou Bao entered Taihua Mountain in the shortest time and handed the Ranking of Demons and Immortals over to Fate Creation Boy.

“Everything went well?” Taking the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, Fate Creation Boy could not stifle his joyful smile. But unlike the last time, he did not open the Ranking of Demons and Immortals immediately or infuse it with the Immortal-burying Pool on the spot. Instead, he asked Zhou Bao if his trip to the Sea Area had gone well.

“Pretty well. The Sea Emperor was very candid. He didn’t say anything much but handed this to me directly. However, except for this Ranking of Demons and Immortals, he talked about a lot of issues, including that of Karma Power and the Primordial Demon in the Infinite Star Sea. That really puts me in an awkward position.”

“You don’t have to worry about the Fate Creator. It’s not as mysterious as he told you. Since you’re born in the Heaven Realm World and have become the Fate Creator of another macro world, you’re naturally in debt to the Karma of Heaven Realm World. However, I, the Fate Creator of Heaven Realm World, have a way to help you survive the Karma. Thus, you should not worry too much about this kind of thing. As for the Primordial Demon in the Infinite Star Sea, due to my constant monitoring, I am very familiar with his ways!” Speaking of this, an odd smile flitted across Fate Creation Boy’s face. “If I am not mistaken, did he ask you to kill him directly without giving him any chance?”

“Exactly. Seems that you know him very well, too!”

“Humph, the Primordial Demon in the Infinite Star Sea was already quite notorious in antiquity times. Otherwise, when we moved out of the Central Star Area, Jade Emperor would not have reminded me to monitor the Infinite Star Sea in secret. This guy is really a huge source of trouble even though he is being trapped in the Infinite Star Sea. He concocted so many Devil Fetuses and stirred up loads of troubles. Now that this Vast Sea Emperor has asked you to kill him, well, this guy must be really something. He has become the concern of two emperors, and one of them is the top-ranked Jade Emperor!”

“From what I’ve heard so far, I can tell that this matter involves a lot of tricky problems!”

“It’s really tricky. But relax, this is none of your business. And I have nothing to do with this as well. My mission is to monitor the Infinite Star Sea instead of striking out. Vast Sea Emperor asked you to kill that demon, so you should just do it. If you can’t kill him, you can let him out so that I won’t have to bother about that da*n place anymore!” Fate Creation Boy said indifferently. “Well, I don’t want to get involved in the complicated game of those big shots. And you’d better not get involved, too!”

“If I kill the Primordial Demon, I will be involved, right?”

“Never mind. In fact, whether you kill him or not, you’re already in this game. The Seven Wonderful Techniques are not so easy to obtain. Those emperors in antiquity times are quite canny, no one knows what they are up to. From the day Jade Emperor asked me to monitor the Primordial Demon, I felt that something must be wrong. The number of Primordial Demons subdued by us is colossal, and loads of them are stronger than this demon, but why did he ask me to specifically monitor this one?”

“Then, what should I do?”

“Just follow the order. You should go to the Infinite Star Sea and do the Primordial Demon in. No matter whether you succeed or fail, you can show Vast Sea Emperor that you have obeyed his orders. After that, you ought to do a closed-door training instantly and try to reach the phase of the Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint. As your strength grows, your rights in the future will extend farther. Then, you won’t have to attend to those potential threats that he mentioned to you. Now I’ve got the Ranking of Demons and Immortals, I can confiscate the Golden Book of Fate and rebuild the Fairy Weapon of Fate regardless of the opinion of Divine Wind Palace and those sects. Nowadays, in this Heaven Realm World, only two men are capable of threatening me other than you and Vast Sea Emperor—Child-endowing Buddha and Wang She. But I guess, these two are not going to give me a hard time, are they?”

“That’s beyond my knowledge. But they both know I’m on your side, so Wang She certainly won’t intervene. As for Child-endowing Buddha, well, he might just act as he is a part of this, but he actually does nothing practical. He has done this countless times already!”

“That will do. When I integrate the Fairy Weapon of Fate, these two will no longer be a threat to me. Then I can completely rebuild the endless space-time of the Heaven Realm World. In that way, Heaven Realm World will become more secure, and no one can enter this world randomly. I’ll also banish all the Lords of Heaven from the Alien Realm. This will serve as a warning to those ambitious schemers from the Alien Realm who are seeking to occupy the Star Area of our Heaven Realm World!”

“I have no opinion on your specific plans. I still have to pay a visit to the Infinite Star Sea first and settle my problem!” Zhou Bao smiled. Although Fate Creation Boy treated the matter as if it was a piece of cake, Zhou Bao was still wary about the Karma Power that Sea Emperor had told him about. Despite the high status he was enjoying in the present Heaven Realm World and his extraordinary strength, his subtle relationship with Fate Creator and emperors in antiquity times, the deeper this relationship got, the more he came to realize that this game was very intricate. He could not do whatever he wanted as he used to when confronting sects in Heaven Realm World, because now he was facing numerous macro worlds. Furthermore, from what Fate Creation Boy had said, he had a vague feeling that some of the emperors from antiquity times were still pulling the strings behind this event. Those Great Ancient Emperors were all Earthly Immortals. Although Zhou Bao had great combat capability, he could never fight against an Earthly Immortal. Even if he cast out his Supreme Fairy Weapon, he might still get killed in front of an Earthly Immortal. If he was lucky, perhaps he might have a chance to flee!”

There were no other alternatives. Now that he had been sucked into this bit by bit, it was a little hard to get away.

“You can visit Black Turtle and ask him for help when you’re in the Infinite Star Sea. He is there to explore the situation of several other macro worlds and the Primordial Demon. I believe he will be able to help you!”

“Is the Primordial Demon being imprisoned at the heart of the Infinite Star Sea? If I go straight there and beat him to death, then all the problems will be gone!”

“How could it be that simple? The place he is imprisoned is indeed the heart of the Infinite Star Sea, but it is an area similar to the endless space-time. In that area, weird spaces and time turbulences are everywhere. Besides, there is no fairy weapon suppressing this Primordial Demon except for a powerful suppression formation comprising of 18 Pure Yang Celestial Devices instead. Once you slip into it, the consequence will be nearly the same as walking into the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. What’s more, if you are caught offguard in this formation, you will draw the attention of the two Star Areas and the 14 macro worlds, which will incur great trouble!”

“No trouble would occur. The 14 macro worlds have gained enormous benefits from the Primordial Demon, so what more do they want? Are they really planning to swallow the body of the Primordial Demon? Is that even possible?”

“Nothing is impossible. As Vast Sea Emperor pointed out, the Primordial Demon has taken advantage of the greed of human beings and produced Devil Fetuses over and over again during the past thousands of years. He induced mankind to contend for Devil Fetuses and gradually aroused the desires of those practitioners in the 14 macro worlds. In the end, when these desires come to a climax, it will explode. Then, some of those practitioners may overestimate themselves and believe they’re able to subdue this Primordial Demon. Once they swing into action, a worldwide calamity will occur!”

“Does the 14 macro world know where this Primordial Demon is being suppressed?”

“Then what use do you think those Devil Fetuses he produced over the past thousands of years serve?” Fate Creation Boy sneered. “By virtue of those Devil Fetuses, the 14 macro worlds have all figured out the location of the Primordial Demon as well as those inhibitions and formations and how to crack them. But the suppression formation with the 18 Pure Yang Celestial Devices is too powerful, and they’re not very certain about taking on the Primordial Demon, so they haven’t acted yet. But once they believe their timing is right and they think they’re capable of dealing with that formation and the Primordial Demon, they will do it without hesitation. But up to now, they haven’t found the opportunity!”

“Haven’t found an opportunity?” Hearing those words, Zhou Bao was inspired. “Maybe, I can offer them one!”
