Yes, there were loads of opportunities to earn more merits!
This was Marquis Zhihai’s judgment. Though they had lost a Supreme Fairy Weapon, in exchange, they managed to destroy the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower. However, perhaps they should not have been so optimistic.
On the surface, they had won. This win came too quickly, it was too expected, and they were a bit overwhelmed. Now, before their main reinforcement and mighty combatants were able to back them up, they had to face the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm.
What should they do?
The Devil Tribe was actually prepared to fight a lasting battle with the Celestial Mystery Emperor and his lot. The Endless Blood Sea was supposed to tangle with the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower for a long time. Then, when the main force of the Devil Realm arrived, they would be able to take the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm.


But now a problem, a big problem had emerged. They had taken down the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower too fast. Now that the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower was destroyed, all the forces from the Celestial Mystery Emperor were gone. It could be said that the passageway was already open to them.
When things developed to this stage, the situation became more dangerous, because no one could guarantee that the Celestial Mystery Emperor was not playing tricks on them. After all, they were unable to see where the World Chakra was heading, let alone its unusual movements.
This was why Marquis Zhihai wanted the Marquis Flood Dragon. The Marquis Flood Dragon had the bloodline of the Ghost Flood Dragon, so it would sense the World Chakra.

This is the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm!

While the Devil Tribe was still hesitating, Zhou Bao had already snuck into the depths of the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower, that was to say the depths of the Falling Star Reef. Although the Falling Star Reef, and even the whole Heaven Realm World, had been demolished, and was covered in a kind of dismal air, this was nothing for an expert as powerful as Zhou Bao.

Right. This is the passageway connecting the Void Universe with the Immortal Realm!
A sigh of amazement sounded in his ears. A non-characteristic solemn expression appeared on Ghost Child’s face. He gazed at the nearby gateway with all his concentration.
This was the gateway, the magnificent gateway.
It was 30 meters high and seemed to have been molded with pure gold. There were several ancient patterns engraved on its surface. These patterns were neither abstruse nor powerful. They did not contain any special meaning. They were just there for decoration.
Aside from that, the gateway was no different from a normal gateway.
However, a mysterious cloud was floating behind it. Even Zhou Bao could not see through it. What on earth was behind the cloud?


Since he could not see or touch whatever was behind the gateway, Zhou Bao just stood before it, wondering whether he should go in or not.

There is no defensive mechanism here!


Of course there is no defensive mechanism. The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower is gone, so continuing to fight against the Devil Tribe is meaningless. Letting go of this gateway was a smart move on the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s part,
Ghost Child explained.

But the current issue is that even without any defensive mechanism, the Devil Tribe still hasn’t invaded!


The Devil Tribe has some scruples. The power of the World Chakra is not easy to handle. They’re also afraid of being banished to an alien world!
Ghost Child said sharply.
If I were them, I would try to find someone with the bloodline of the Ghost Flood Dragon who can sense the unusual movements of the Chakra. Then, I would consider going into the passageway. Anyway, the Falling Star Reef is in their hands now. They don’t need to rush and take more risks. Well, as for you, are you going to go in or not?


Why do I need to go in? I’ve been to the Immortal Realm, there is nothing too impressive there!
Zhou Bao glanced at the legendary gate of the Immortal Realm, and paused for a second. Then, he laughed,
Do you have any clue where the Celestial Mystery Emperor might be hiding?


Humph, there are only a few places in the Heaven Realm World that are beyond the Fate Creation Boy’s monitor range. Among them, only a handful can sustain the simultaneous explosion of two Supreme Fairy Weapons!
Ghost Child said.
You really want to make a strike against the Celestial Mystery Emperor?


Our relationship has been so tense that there is no way around it. He started all this. Of course I’m going to pay him back!
Zhou Bao said, his eyes glimmering with resolution.
If I allow this guy, who’s famous for calculating and scheming in antiquity times to stay alive, it will be a disaster. Before he makes more plans to deal with me, I’ll kill him. This is the best choice!


If that’s the case, then, come with me!
Judging by Zhou Bao’s tone, Ghost Child knew that he had made up his mind. Thus, he would say no more. Zhou Bao leaped up, broke through the space, and entered the endless spacetime.
The Heaven Realm World and the endless spacetime were completely ruined.


Under the devastating blast of two Supreme Fairy Weapon, the Heaven Realm World had been almost fatally wounded. Although it did not fall apart instantly, almost all of the surrounding endless spacetime was shattered into dust. It had formed into a raging space-time storm.
This kind of space-time storm would last for thousands of years before it evolved into a new spacetime. For the next thousand years, the endless spacetime would take the form of the present violent storm.
In this space-time storm, only a few special spacetimes existed. Most of these spacetimes were in the depths of the storm. They looked to be more concealed than they used to be, but in fact, it was much easier to find them.
After all, in the past, you had to search through numerous spacetimes to find the right one. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But now, with the majority of it gone, which had actually turned into dust, the one you needed to find appeared to be more conspicuous.
Zhou Bao transformed into a speck of dust and leaped into the huge space-time storm. Not affected by the deadly storm, he shuttled through the storm at will, looking for the special spacetimes that had not been destroyed.

Look! Over there seems a bit different!

A spot of blue light was glistening in the depths of the endless storm. It looked like a beautiful sapphire.

Don’t go there. That’s where the Vast Sea Emperor is being imprisoned. That’s also his territory!
Ghost Child recognized the spot with just a glimpse of the blue spacetime.
The Vast Sea Emperor has launched a strike against you, but he was forced into it. Even if you want revenge, now is not a good time!


All this time you knew where the Vast Sea Emperor was?


No, I only realized this when I saw it just now!
Ghost Child said.
Go ahead. If I guessed right, that damned place is not far!




What kind of place it is?


You’ll understand when you see it!

Since Ghost Child intended to keep Zhou Bao in suspense, Zhou Bao could do nothing about it. But soon, he realized what Ghost Child was talking about. He saw an old and withered tree standing in the deepest part of the space-time storm, where the storm was the utmost violent.
The old tree stood rooted in place. Its color was a bit dull, only a few leaves were still green. The trunk was not large, but the storm had no impact on it.

This…


This is the Old Chinese Parasol. It’s also called the Fixing Root Tree. Taoist Jin planted it here before he created the five main worlds. Each of its leaves represents a powerful spacetime. All the spacetimes in the Heaven Realm World were developed from the leaves of this ancient tree. Only a few still cling to it. These are the most resilient spacetimes.


The Fate Creation Boy doesn’t know this?


The Old Chinese Parasol is not related that closely to the Heaven Realm World. Although the Heaven Realm World was created based on the Old Chinese Parasol, the two don’t actually share any connection. When the leaves fall, they’ll turn into spacetimes and no longer connect to the tree itself. So, it’s only reasonable that Fate Creation Boy doesn’t know this!


Well, I just find this a little weird!


Many people find this weird! There are many secrets in the Void Universe. Most of the answers can only be retrieved in the Void Immortal Realm!
Ghost Child gave a light smile.
Now, you’re getting closer to the answers!




But I feel I’m getting further and further from the answers! The more I know, the more questions I have. How troublesome!
Zhou Bao gave a wry smile and stopped asking. He followed Ghost Child’s direction and went behind one of the leaves.

Boom!

Zhou Bao broke through the spacetime. The seemingly ordinary leaf became unusual.
Blue sky, clouds, and pneuma!
Everything that was supposed to be in the Heaven Realm World was here, including human beings.

Damn it, this place is flourishing much better than the Heaven Realm World!


Its power is also much stronger than that of the Heaven Realm World!
Ghost Child was also taken aback by the glorious scene.
Seems that they have brought a talented practitioner they believe merits their training into this spacetime!

The size of this spacetime was just slightly smaller than the Heaven Realm World, and the essence of the world here was much richer. There were many living creatures and practitioners in this world. Cities spread out in this spacetime. The sky above a large city was shining; it looked like some practitioners were flying by riding the Qi. Some of them had reached the peak of the Human Immortal Level, just one level below Zhou Bao’s.

Don’t feel weird about this. The pneuma here is really good. However, there is also a huge flaw in the rule of this spacetime. Becoming a Human Immortal is the upper limit for all practitioners. No matter how much of a genius you are, or how lucky you get, you cannot break this restriction!

After familiarizing himself with the rule of this spacetime using telepathy, Zhou Bao’s expression altered a bit.
You’re right, the rule here is flawed. This place will never release the Divine Immortal Tribulation. Without the Divine Immortal Tribulation, no one can become a Divine Immortal. A Human Immortal is the most powerful combatant in this spacetime. Okay, where could the Celestial Mystery Emperor be hiding?


Every spacetime has its crucial area. And this spacetime is no exception. With your present spiritual mind, you can’t be baffled by this!


Yeah, you have a point!
Zhou Bao concentrated his mind for a second and successfully cracked the space. He stepped through the crack and arrived in a mysterious place.

Is it here? Is this where the Celestial Mystery Emperor and his lot are hiding?!

In the depths of this spacetime was a mystic forest, which had been enveloped by mist for years. Except for the living creatures that had always lived in this forest, even a Human Immortal with top-level combat capability could not access it. Accordingly, this forest was called Forest of Mysteries.

Old Chinese Parasol, Forest of Mysteries, hiding in such a damn place. No wonder it’s so hard to find it!

Zhou Bao went into the Forest of Mysteries and finally spotted his target—a snow-white palace.
