Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 849: The Tribulation Takers

According to Qing Feng and Ming Yue, there were three major forces in the Immortal Realm: the Gale Sage in the Eye of Storm, the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage in the Chaotic Poisonous Sea and the Jade Emperor Sage in the Jade Emperor Palace.

They were the only three forces under the control of Sages in the Void Immortal Realm, so they were the three most powerful forces.

In addition to the three forces, there were many sects here. Although these sects were not as powerful as the three forces, they dominated specific areas.

The Immortal Realm was too big to be ruled by the three most powerful forces. In fact, these three forces’ territories were not large. The Gale Sage occupied only the Eye of Storm, the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage occupied the Chaotic Poisonous Sea, and the Jade Emperor Palace occupied a larger scope than theirs, but his territory was only as large as one Divine Region of the previous Seven-deity Regions in the Heaven Realm World.

It was not that they did not want to expand their forces. Even if the Gale Sage and the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage didn’t have the desire to extend, the Jade Emperor Sage, whose Way of the Emperor was already complete, certainly did.

But there was nothing they could do. The situation in the Immortal Realm was too complicated. There were many untouchable people here. And some of them were old Celestial Immortals who were practicing in seclusion instead of opening up Taoist rites in the Extraterritorial Area. If they offended a Celestial Immortal when expanding their forces, they would be in big trouble. The sects here were numerous, but most of them were local forces that were not particularly powerful.

The Sword School was one of the numerous local forces and was more powerful than other forces. This school had more than ten Emperors at the Earthly Immortal Realm. It was not as powerful as the three forces under the control of Celestial Immortals, but it was one of the strongest forces in its territory and was well known throughout the Immortal Realm.

Now, with the impending Dharma Ending Tribulation, the master of the Sword School and its Elders were getting nervous. They were Earthly Immortals who could only live as long as heaven and earth, and they would perish with heaven and earth, unless they were incredibly lucky.

Thus, they were planning ahead and trying to find opportunities to break through the status quo.

This was also the reason there were so many forces in the Immortal Realm. Earthly Immortals had always held themselves aloof from the world, but now faced with the Darma Ending Tribulation, they felt the crisis. They wanted to break through and find opportunity. So they did a lot of preparation. In fact, they didn’t really have big ambitions, they just wanted to go on living.

The Sword School had paid a heavy price. Before the passage to the Immortal Realm was opened, they had forcibly taken one of the Tribulation Takers from the Human World to the Immortal Realm, and worked hard to cultivate him with the intention of killing the other Tribulation Takers. This would monopolize their great fortune, and finally help them out of this and even future Dharma Ending Tribulations.

In fact, there was another school doing the same thing.

But the sect underestimated Zhou Bao’s strength. As a result, the sect had failed and was badly damaged by him as soon as the passage opened.

The Sword School disciples surrounding the cold-faced man were communicating through their divine thoughts. Their discussion could not be easily revealed, but he could tell what they were thinking from their expressions.

The scorn and gloating on their faces was undisguised.

“Humph, you damn men, do you think that the Tribulation Taker is easy to deal with? Even if I failed this time, I am one of the Tribulation Takers. I have the opportunity and good luck. Are you in a position to laugh at me?” He sneered in his heart as he cleared the last bit of poison from his body. “Zhou Bao is very hard to deal with. I didn’t expect him to be so formidable, and he has the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It seems that I underestimated him!”

He regretted attacking Zhou Bao so rashly. He had thought Zhou Bao was just a Tribulation Taker from a declining main world. Even if he had good luck, he would not be strong, at least not stronger than him. Unexpectedly, Zhou Bao was so strong that he had hurt him badly.

“Young master, Master just sent word for you to return now!”

“Now?!” The young master of the Sword School was startled. Since being brought here from the Void Universe, he had been identified to as the young master of Sword School. Although he knew it was because of his identity as a Tribulation Taker, after seeing its powerful strength, he was very loyal to the sect. And he never thought anything would happen to the sect.

But the appearance of the messenger clearly indicated that something had happened to the Sword School. He couldn’t help worrying.

The Sword School did have a huge problem, but for the time being it had nothing to do with Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao had been patiently waiting for several days in the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain. Finally, he got the information he wanted about the Tribulation Takers from the Void Universe.

Tribulation Takers were born as a result of a Tribulation of Heaven and Earth and blessed with incredibly good fortune. Now that they were in the tribulation, they couldn’t figure out that they were Tribulation Takers. But there had been all kinds of tribulations since the Primordial Origin, and the Tribulation Takers’ characteristics were basically the same. Once the tribulation was coming, they would soon be found out. This time was no exception.

In addition to the Heaven Realm World, there were four main worlds in the Void Universe, each of which had one Tribulation Taker.

The four Tribulation Takers, or the four men who were most likely to be the Tribulation Takers were Man Yujun, Huang Lei, Kong Ti and Ying Hu.

Each of them had his own destiny in the Void Universe and unparalleled combat capabilities. And their combat gains were not any weaker than Zhou Bao’s.

“Man Yujun is the one who has inherited the Immortal-eliminating Sword. He was taken to the Immortal Realm by the Sword School 10 years ago and became the school’s young master. He was invincible with his Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi.”

“Man Yujun? Sword School? Ten years ago?” Zhou Bao raised his brows. “Can people here take people to the Immortal Realm at will? Don’t they need the passage?”

“Yes, but there is a heavy price to pay!” Ming Yue answered, “Only ancient schools with profound foundations can do it. And there’s a high probability of failure, because very few people are willing to do it!”

“Why did the Sword School do this?”

“To handle the tribulation. In addition to the Sword School, there are many other ancient sects that have taken various measures to deal with the Dharma Ending Tribulation. For example, although our master has opened up his own Taoist rite in the Extraterritorial Area, he still left us to make good relations with you for good karma.” Qing Feng smiled. “It’s just that different sects do it differently!

“How strong are they?”

“Tribulation Takers are all very strong. Man Yujun should be at the peak of the Immortal, and may step into the Earthly Immortal Realm at any time. He is the weakest of the four. The other three have broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and have their own means, not as easy to compete against as Man Yujun!”

“The other three are all Earthly Immortals?!” Zhou Bao was shocked. Suddenly he had three more enemies of the Emperor Realm. It was impossible to cheer him up.

“Huang Lei and Ying Hu are very mysterious. We didn’t collect any information about them except that they are Earthly Immortals. If we’re right, their information is being hidden by one or two powerful forces. We have more information about Kong Ti, and he needs to be taken seriously.”

“Why does he need to be taken seriously?”

“Because he knows Congenital Five-colored Divine Light!” Ming Yue replied. “Different from the Seven Wonderful Techniques you have practiced, he has mastered the full Congenital Five-colored Divine Light. It gives him the ability to brush and destroy all things in the world!”

“The Congenital Five-colored Divine Light is that amazing?!” Zhou Bao was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He didn’t expect that Kong Ti owned the Congenital Five-colored Divine Light. In this way, he seemed to be Zhou Bao’s nemesis.

But he soon regained his composure.* “I don’t have to be afraid. He has the Congenital Five-colored Divine Light. I have the Tree of Seven Wonders. Others are afraid of it, but I’m not!”*

The Congenital Five-colored Divine Light was really a Divine Sense. If he fought with Kong Ti, he would have to fight against his Congenital Five-colored Divine Light with the Seven Wonderful Techniques.

“I have to get the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique as soon as possible. The complete Seven Wonderful Techniques can defeat the Congenital Five-colored Divine Light. But my Seven Wonderful Techniques are incomplete, so I may not be able to win against him now.” With this in mind, he became more and more eager to find the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique.

“Have they all reached the Immortal Realm?”

“Yes, that’s for sure!” Qing Feng said lightly. “In addition, Man Yujun, Ying Hu and Huang Lei are supposed to have turned to powerful forces, which are probably two of the three strongest forces. But we don’t know about Kong Ti. He’s the most mysterious of the five of you. Everyone knows that he knows the Congenital Five-colored Divine Light, but only knew this about him.”

“He really is mysterious!” Zhou Bao frowned slightly. “One more thing, why did they come to the Immortal Realm?”

“What about you? Why did you come here?” Qing Feng shot back, instead of answering him.
