Chapter 777: The Secret of Child-endowing Buddha
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
There were no shortage of rumors going around at times like this, especially when things were undergoing massive changes.
This was the current situation in the Void Universe now. It would be apt to describe this period as the ‘autumn for many things’, whereby everything underwent changes, similar to how leaves changed their colors during autumn.
Eastern Thunder World of the Easternmost Part of Eastern Land had been attacked by the Devils. Furthermore, the Controller of Eastern Thunder World, Eastern Thunder Sect, was on the brink of destruction. Basically, Eastern Thunder Sect did not exist anymore at this point in time.
After their Earthly Immortal Patriarchs were killed, the remaining practitioners in Eastern Thunder Sect had all been rounded up and killed by the lucky surviving practitioners from Eastern Thunder World. Eastern Thunder Sect members were totally annihilated in the shortest time possible, from the Masters to the disciple of the lowest rank. At the same time, the Devil Tribulation that started from Eastern Thunder World was facing some obstacles in Easternmost Land. The countless number of Devil Tribe members managed to get a hold of Eastern Thunder World only because everything happened so quickly. While Eastern Thunder World put up as much resistance as they could, the other macro worlds in Easternmost Land were already fully prepared. Hence, the Devil Tribulation in Easternmost Land did not spread throughout. Instead, it was totally suppressed by the efforts of a few macro worlds.
And now, in Easternmost Land, the thing that garnered the most attention was not news about the Devil Tribulation. It was about the fallen Patriarchs of Eastern Thunder Sect.
The reason why Eastern Thunder Sect dared to sacrifice the blood of hundreds of practitioners without holding back, was because their Patriarchs had undergone the Earthly Immortal Tribulation very recently. They became true Earthly Immortals.
Due to this, the news of the fallen Patriarchs, who had recently become Earthly Immortals, caused a great stir. The fight did not go unseen. It had been witnessed by many.
According to what the Patriarchs from Eastern Thunder Sect said, the mysterious Taoist Cundi, whom no one had ever heard of, was a character who was half an Earthly Immortal. By using a powerful Heavenly Fairy Weapon, he had managed to murder the Earthly Immortals. This news spread like wildfire in the Void Universe and caused all the Earthly Immortals to fear for their lives. Hence, a secret investigation commenced. By using the only clue provided by this Taoist Cundi, which was the Real Body of Zhuyan, the investigation covered the whole of the Void Universe, including Heaven Realm World that had just gained its status. This was because there was someone there who had the Zhuyan bloodline Real Body, although everyone thought that it was an unlikely possibility. All the suspects were thoroughly investigated and it was then that trouble came knocking on Zhou Bao’s door.
This problem had been dealt with promptly. The first to appear were three ambassadors from the Evil Alliance. They fought a big battle with Zhou Bao in Wuyang Region and secured a narrow victory. However, they fell victim to his Yin and Yang Dust Formation and suffered huge losses. The only thing they gained was Zhou Bao’s handy weapons, two small jade hammers. At the same time, this proved that Zhou Bao did indeed have the Zhuyan bloodline. However, this bloodline was not pure. It could not show that it had the power of an Earthly Immortal in the Eastern Thunder Sect’s big war. Henceforth, Zhou Bao was proven to be innocent.
There were people who had their doubts but when the three guys from the Evil Alliance returned with Zhou Bao’s two small hammers, everyone believed them. Those who knew a bit about Heaven Realm World knew that these hammers were rarely shown publicly. He would only take them out when faced with strong opponents. They were his hidden ace weapons. By giving the three guys these two hammers, this showed that Zhou Bao had already done all he could but was still defeated. He only managed to scare off the three guys due to the power of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. At the same time, the Human Emperor of Heaven Realm World, Yan Yuntian, had been in a discussion with the Evil Alliance. The former gave in significantly, which once again proved the assertion made by the alliance. The whole chaotic situation was dissolved.
“I did not think that you have such high endurance, to the point of giving up your handy weapons!”
“They are a hindrance when I carry them around. It’s better to let the two idiots bring them back as that will stop me from always wanting to use them!” Zhou Bao smiled faintly. He seemed not to mind Child-endowing Buddha’s sarcasm. “Back to you. I heard that you changed your Dharma name to Guide Master. That’s interesting. Do you need me to talk to my father-in-law so that he’ll send you to clean the toilets?”
“Let it remain as Guide. This job is not bad, at least I have the chance to understand the Void Universe. After so many years, even after so many things had happened, I still cannot recognize any of the important members from each macro world. It seems like the macro world has changed for sure!” Child-endowing seemed a little melancholic. He sighed and a faint fragrance of tea leaves wafted through the air. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, “Taoist Cundi, this name is quite interesting. How did you think of it?”
“Not much to tell. I came across this person named Cundi and felt that the name was not bad, so I stole it from him!” Zhou Bao laughed indifferently, suddenly realizing that it was indeed interesting. In this very small hut sat two people; one called Guide, the other Cundi. There seemed to be some kind of strange connection. “I say, if I were to change the name of Jilei Mountain to Mount Sumeru, what do you think?”
“Mount Sumeru?” Child-endowing was taken aback. Even with his copious knowledge, he was not able to understand what Zhou Bao really meant. “Why do you want to change its name so suddenly? The name Jilei Mountain sounds quite good!”
“Really, then forget it!” Zhou Bao smiled and did not elaborate any further. “How’s the relationship between Heaven Realm World and the Void Universe recently? I think after my father-in-law gave up some things he insisted on, it should be smoother right?”
“How do I put it? Right now, the few big influences in the Void Universe have been contacted. The conditions have more or less been discussed too. But there’s the exception of the Holy Alliance!”
“The Holy Alliance has lost a lot of their fleets. They are finally going to rebuild their reputation. Furthermore, they’re one of the biggest influences. It is perfectly normal for them to come in at the last minute!” Zhou Bao said, “I heard that all the big influences are going to establish themselves in Heaven Realm World soon!”
“Not bad, but the majority of the macro worlds and influences are going to be established in the Sea Area. Only a few of the strongest influences such as the Evil Alliance, as well as the Holy Alliance in the future, may be able to establish themselves in the Seven-deity Regions!”
“How about Sea Emperor, that bastard? How did he react?”
“He did not have reacted in any way. The Sea Area does not care too much about such matters. Anyway, you know that the Sea Area is much stronger than the Seven-deity Regions in terms of power. We do not have to worry about them!”
“The Sea Emperor is an old fox. Back in the olden days, the Vast Sea Emperor was also an Earthly Immortal. If we release this information, those influences should start behaving themselves!”
“Are you sure? Vast Sea Emperor has a fearful reputation that could scare some people. But don’t forget, as a Great Ancient Emperor, he has many enemies. If we release this information, his enemies will come and find him. If he doesn’t show up, we’ll be in big trouble!”
Child-endowing Buddha’s worries were understandable. As a Great Ancient Emperor as well as an expert among the Earthly Immortals, he would certainly have extremely strong enemies. By releasing the information about Vast Sea Emperor, it would indeed cause a small commotion. At the same time, it would incur huge problems.
“The trouble is all due to him. Heavenly Court has disappeared for so many years, yet this guy is still controlling the Sea Area. Although on the surface he appears to be restricted to that endless spacetime, even Fate Creation Boy would not be able to understand the real reason behind this. Vast Sea Emperor will not let go completely. If his enemies really turn up and he chooses to let go, then we do not have to carry this burden for him; we can let go too!”
“No way! If that’s the case, then Heaven Realm World...” Suddenly, Child-endowing Buddha seemed to realize something. He lifted his head abruptly, “You want to give up Heaven Realm World?”
“No, of course not! But I have no need to take on the load of everything happening in the world on my own!” Zhou Bao gave a small smile, “I will do everything that I can, but if something is out of my control, I will choose to give it up. You know that I already own a macro world, why would I die for Heaven Realm World?”
“Hmm, I think it will be a problem if you really do so!”
“I know, of course, how troublesome this will be!” Zhou Bao’s expression changed as if he thought of something. He gave a small smile, “I can see that you are also a pawn left behind by some strong existence from antiquity times, right? You’re just an idle piece, and have never thought about how useful you would be, right?”
“I know this too, but recently, I do have a sort of feeling!” Child-endowing Buddha did not recognize it, nor did he deny it. “Back in the days when I was sealed up in Small Thunder Temple, it was indeed strange. But because I was sealed much too early, I was unsure of what happened afterwards. Hence, I was never clear whether my sealing up had any purpose or not. Just that recently, when Heaven Realm World reconnected with the Void Universe. I suddenly realized that some matters can be inferred, which is the most troublesome part!”
“The most troublesome?” Zhou Bao smiled, “So many macro worlds and influences are trying to establish themselves in Heaven Realm World and you are in charge of guiding them. I think this is what is arousing your suspicions?”
“That’s right, I am in charge of guiding them to choose the land they want to establish in. Although the Void Universe has become foreign, there are still traces of the antiquity times in these strong macro worlds and influences. There were even some that had not changed since then! They’ve found the right person to do the guiding. I can help them settle in perfectly. Besides, I can ensure that everything is under my control!” Speaking of which, he paused momentarily. “This all originated from a secret I discovered in the antiquity times. However, I have never told anyone about it. I believe that although Fate Creation Boy is the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate belonging to Heaven Realm World, he too, does not know about this secret!”
“This sounds strange, could this be your key to success in the future?”
“Although it is not entirely correct, you’re not that far off. Give me 10,000 years and I’ll aim to steal a third of Heaven Realm World’s power, which will help me to succeed!”
“It’s a pity that you’re running out of time!”
