Among the Five Immortal Realms, the one at the lowest level was the Ghost Immortal Realm, which was also known as the Genuine Immortal Realm. But why did people call it the Ghost Immortal Realm?
This was because the Thunder Tribulation produced after you broke through the Three Big Realms would have the greatest influence upon the spirit; this would solidify your spirit and render it powerful and intelligent. Even if your spirit was separated from your body, your flesh would not decay or disappear. That was the reason why the people there were known as Ghost Immortals. In comparison, though the Thunder Tribulation was quite useful in perfecting your body, the effect it had on the spirit was far more beneficial.
Therefore, Genuine Immortals were actually Ghost Immortals. But it was just that the pneuma was extremely rare in the present world, therefore becoming a Genuine Immortal was ultimately the most ambitious dream a practitioner could have. Anyway, the name
Ghost Immortal
did not sound auspicious, so these Ghost Immortals began to call themselves
Genuine Immortals
and categorized themselves by the number of Thunder Tribulations they had gone through. Frankly, all the Sages, Venerables and Lords of Heaven were Ghost Immortals.
As for the Human Immortal who was one rank higher than the Ghost Immortal, the circumstances were very different. He had to undergo Tribulations as well. However, what he needed to endure were not merely Thunder Tribulations but also Fire Tribulations, collectively called
Thunder-fire Tribulations
. The Thunder-fire Tribulation also had a forging effect on the spirit, but its main function was the opposite of a sole Thunder Tribulation—it was used to forge the flesh. This was exactly what the
Thunder-fire Bath breeds Golden Body
meant.
There were nine Thunder-fire Tribulations for a person to undergo. In the end, when a Human Immortal obtained the Three Flowers above the Head and Five Kinds of Qi by practice, he would then be able to refine his golden body and get ready to advance to the Divine Immortal Realm. Thinking in terms of the Earthly Immortal who was superior to the Divine Immortal, let’s think about how hard it is to attain the Master Immortal level from a High-ranked Immortal level and the answer would be rather obvious. As for advancing from an Earthly Immortal to a Celestial Immortal, which meant being promoted from a Master Immortal to a Top Immortal, nobody knew what kind of process this was. It would easily take 100 million years, which was not something Zhou Bao, a guy whose ages in two life spans did not even add up to 50, could imagine.
Let leave those high-ranking living creatures alone and instead look at the inferior ones. Those ranked below the Ghost Immortals were common people, such as Individual Immortals. In fact, this title was just a fancy name that the common practitioners invented for themselves. The Mysterious Realm was called
False Immortal Realm
or
Sham Immortal Realm
, which clearly indicated that those immortals were not actually immortals. Though they possessed some abilities of authentic immortals, their Real Bodies were still not immortals. To transform into a real immortal, one had to start with one’s spirit. Only if the spirit had gone through the Thunder Tribulation and survived could one become a true immortal. But before the Thunder Tribulation, no matter how powerful you were or how great your strength was, you were just a common human being, or at most a powerful common human being. Thus, technically, the three of them in the room were all common people, who were equipped with impressive combat capabilities.

Divine Immortals certainly exist. I am quite sure that the Sea Emperor is actually a Divine Immortal. But there is no need to worry, because the laws of the world impose more restrictions on Divine Immortals than Human Immortals. Human Immortals can’t casually step out of the scope of the macro world, while Divine Immortals, haha, must obey rules that are 10 times more stringent than that. When you become a Divine Immortal, you cannot even appear in the macro world. At most, you may reveal yourself in the form of incarnation or projection in the present life. Otherwise, your body will be badly injured. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about those Divine Immortals. What we need to watch out for are those Ghost Immortals and Human Immortals in the Lord of Heaven Realm who work for that Sea Emperor!


There must be some Human Immortals in the Sea Area!
Thinking about this, Zhou Bao said,
Even the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain has some Human Immortals. But the strength of the Sea Area is much stronger than the Seven-deity Regions, so, how could they not have any Human Immortals?


Right, even our Seven-deity Regions have Human Immortals, what more for the Sea Area!
Child-endowing Buddha nodded, smiling.
Therefore, do you still believe you can kill all of them to achieve your goal?


Yes, if it’s worth it!
Thinking about this for a while, Zhou Bao looked at Child-endowing Buddha and went on,
If it’s worth it, I do not mind taking down all of them, provided I can get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!


Then it’s no problem!
Child-endowing Buddha gave a smile.
Now, let make a plan. Anyway, it’ll take some time for this news to spread all over the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area. If my guess is right, this time there will be another joint operation. The Seven-deity Regions will join forces with the Sea Area forces to go to Desolate Island and seek the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!
Speaking about this, something seemed to occur to Child-endowing Buddha.
Be alert about Divine Wind Palace. Their craving for the Pool of Thunder Tribulation is much stronger than yours. As the authentic heir of Divine Wind Palace in the olden times, Grand Divine Wind Palace has remained quiet for a long time. If they manage to obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, then, no one, at least in the Heaven Realm, will be able to confront them!


Divine Wind Palace has a Supreme Fairy Weapon?


Of course, Grand Divine Wind Palace itself is already a Supreme Fairy Weapon; the only problem is just that it is dilapidated and battered, and has not been used for a period of time. If they install the Pool of Thunder Tribulation in it, then, it will at least perform some of its powerful functions, which will be enough to deter the other sects!


So we cannot let Divine Wind Palace obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation no matter what. If necessary, we have to wipe out all the members of Divine Wind Palace!
Zhou Bao bellowed with a murderous look. Although not all of his secrets had been disclosed, the conflict between him and Divine Wind Palace was irreconcilable. Now, he was in the dark while Divine Wind Palace was in the daylight, so he was determined to use every opportunity that could significantly cripple the strength of Divine Wind Palace. Weakening Divine Wind Palace while enhancing his own strength had been a good practice of Zhou Bao all this time. He had ruined the scheme of Divine Wind Palace to take control of Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven, murdered one of their Lords of Heaven, robbed them of one fairy weapon, and defeated and killed another one of their Lords of Heaven. He also disrupted the plan Divine Wind Palace had on the Dragon-taming Ruins, and even sent the position of Human Emperor candidate to his own father-in-law by manipulation, which had made Yu Taixu fume with rage. Those were all Zhou Bao’s achievements, but he knew that these were not enough, far from enough. In order to throw out a super large sect that had dominated the world for thousands of years, these were just what needed to be done, and there were more tasks for him to accomplish. For example, in this journey to Desolate Island, he had the idea that he should disrupt Divine Wind Palace and he was not going to let Divine Wind Palace seize the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Even if he could not obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, then he had to ensure it was destroyed to prevent Divine Wind Palace from obtaining it. And this was the present mindset of Zhou Bao.
It would not be easy to achieve this. Therefore, the three pondered on this for quite a while in silence before leaving separately.
Surely, after 10 days, the matter on the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode should have spread across the entire martial arts world as well as the whole practitioner realm. Once they heard that the Ancient Ruins might be the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode, the strongest of the 99 Emperors in antiquity times, immediately turned green-eyed with envy. They were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, wanting to rush into Desolate Island immediately and search island wide for the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode inch by inch.
But gradually, everyone noticed that something fishy was going on, because Desolate Island was not located in the Seven-deity Regions but in the depths of the Sea Area. Every knowledgeable man knew how dangerous the Sea Area was. In the Four Eastern Regions, apart from the five biggest sects and the Dark Sect, no other influences had the capability to cross the Sea Area. Thus, how could the five biggest sects just sit back and let other people obtain such a great benefit?
That was the situation now. Their behaviour was rather strange. Probably, they intended to let the others be the primary targets.
Therefore, this kind of matter had to be pondered over carefully before deciding if it was worth it!
Giving up your life for merely an illusionary Ancient Ruins did not seem to be worthwhile!
As a result, this news had simmered to its extreme by the 10th day. After that, the enthusiasm of the martial arts practitioners began to fade. Once again, just like what they did previously, everyone sat back and waited to see how the five biggest sects would react.
The reaction from the five biggest sects was pretty vehement, or precisely, the reaction of Divine Wind Palace, the leader of the five biggest sects was very violent. That was because the Devil Fetus that took over Desolate Island was initially a core disciple of Divine Wind Palace. The reason why the Devil Fetus could find the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode was probably because he utilized some intelligence from Divine Wind Palace. Once they realised the issue, Divine Wind Palace felt very displeased. And then, they thought,
This Thunder Emperor’s touring abode should belong to us. Given the huge benefit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, if we need to take some undesirable measures, we will do it. If we truly obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and turn on Grand Divine Wind Palace, haha, then, who in the Seven-deity Regions can ever compete with our Divine Wind Palace?

Accordingly, when it came to this matter, Divine Wind Palace was the one that responded most actively. But meanwhile, they knew without doubt that the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode was not that easy to take on. Without considering other sects in the Seven-deity Regions, the Sea Area alone was enough to give them a headache.
Even for the vast Sea Area with its unrivaled strength, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation in the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode was still a rare and precious treasure that would cause a commotion in the influences of the Sea Area. If you were concerned whether the Sea Area was able to get the news, well, no one need to say more. Over the years, the Sea Area had never relaxed its vigilance over the Seven-deity Regions. Every movement of the Seven-deity Regions was reported to the Sea Area, what more for this kind of big news. It had taken a while for this news to spread, then, how could the Sea Area be unaware of this? Plus, this time the action would be happening right in the Sea Area!

No matter what, we shall find the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode and get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. That is the biggest guarantee our Seven-deity Regions could ever obtain for self-protection. As long as we have the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, we can tap on the power from Grand Divine Wind Palace, and that is a Supreme Fairy Weapon. With this Supreme Fairy Weapon at hand, even if we run into some enemies who have a Supreme Fairy Weapon, it’ll still be possible for us to confront them!
That was what Yu Taixu had said in front of everyone during the conference of the five biggest sects.
However, the moment he finished speaking, the retorts came swiftly.

Grand Divine Wind Palace is merely a broken Supreme Fairy Weapon; the macro world inside it was already damaged during the tribulation. Even if you get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, it will at most be upgraded to a powerful Highest Heaven Celestial Device. That kind of device also can be found at our place. Thus, why should we let you Divine Wind Palace have the Pool of Thunder Tribulation?

When profits were involved, everyone started arguing back and forth in their own interests. At last, it was Yan Yuntian, the newly appointed Human Emperor candidate, who, though, had little connection with the five biggest sects but enjoyed a superior status, stood up and made an announcement,
No matter which sect the Pool of Thunder Tribulation belongs to in the end, the basis of this issue is that our operation has to succeed. Our Four Eastern Regions are just trying to prepare for this task through discussion. But now, even before seizing the target, inside disputes have occurred. That is highly inappropriate. The power of our enemies is quite strong, and that is self-evident. As the old saying goes, unity makes us stronger while splitting up makes us weaker. Now, the five biggest sects of our Four Eastern Regions should unite and exert their powers to seize the treasure first. As to how to distribute the benefits, we shall settle this among ourselves after we have successfully retrieved the treasure!
After this, the dispute was brought to an end.
