The relics of the Rock Cliff Sect!

Countless figures appeared and disappeared in the vast and wild space, leaving only faint traces behind.

Wang Shang was numb and confused. He watched the guy in front of him, the practitioner who claimed to be the Bodhi Taoist. Right now, a transparent Natal Sword was hanging upside down above his head. The Sword Qi flying around cleared every potential threat around him.

Anything blocking his way was smashed to pieces by his Sword Qi. Be it waves, storms, energies, rays, poison gases, or monsters, mountains, rivers and cliffs.

Then, a passage directly leading to the core of the macro world was created.

A passage paved by Zhou Bao’s SwordQi.

This was sheer arrogance and rampage.

His drastic action shocked not only Wang Shang, but the other practitioners in the Rock Cliff Sect as well.

But under such circumstances, they dared not say anything.

In fact, seeing this, Wang Shang felt so much regret that he wanted to slap himself. How could he have ever thought at the beginning, that this murderer looked rather kind!

The Immortal-killing Sword Qi and the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi!!!

Who on earth was he?

No wonder he was so tough and confident when saying that he would kill the Tribulation Taker and loot their fate. He had the power indeed.

In the Northernmost Sea macro world, Man Yujun, who joined the Sword School, became a Tribulation Taker only because he had inherited the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi. The guy standing in front of him possessed two of the Four Immortal-killing Sword Qis. He should be as powerful as those Tribulation Takers.

Even at such moment, Wang Shang had no doubt about Zhou Bao’s identity. After all, the information about the five Tribulation Takers was not a secret in the Void Immortal Realm. The only Tribulation Taker related to the inheritance of the Four Immortal-killing Sword Qi was Man Yujun. Clearly, the one standing in front was not him.

As the Sword Qi grew more and more mature, Zhou Bao sped up his work. Finally, the Sword Qi turned into a rapid streamer and flew toward the heart of this macro world, fending off all attacks.

Wang Shang was shocked at the beginning. But now, after just a second of hesitation, he followed Zhou Bao and flew forward with top speed.

Some practitioners also tried to take a ride. They followed the two, but soon began to regret.

The residual Sword Qi, with just a small amount, was powerful enough to make them suffer. those practitioners who were at most Immortals. After a while, when the last practitioner came out in panic after losing all his magic weapons, no one dared to take advantage anymore.

“Damn it! He’ll have a head start this time. But it doesn’t matter. The relics in the Rock Cliff Sect are inexhaustible. There will be some left for us!” No one could catch up with Zhou Bao and Wang Shang, yet no one was willing to give up.

“Impressive! Really impressive! With two Immortal-killing Sword Qis, no wonder you boasted about killing the other Tribulation Takers.” After flying with Zhou Bao for some time, Wang Shang felt no malice from his partner. He caught up with him and asked, “There’s also a guy in the Human World that has inherited the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi. Why do you target at Zhou Bao, the one with the Seven Wonderful Techniques, instead of him?”

“I’ll spare Man Yujun for some other day. I have two Sword Qis. He will surely come to me!” Zhou Bao smiled wickedly. “The Tribulation Takers are arrogant, overbearing and blindly confident. Don’t you believe that he will come?”

“I understand. You are seeking the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique for the same purpose. When you kill the two, you can harvest the Tribulation Taker’s fate. In that case, you won’t fall behind the Crown Princes of the Jade Emperor.”

“Exactly. Both the prince and the princess have killed a Tribulation Taker and looted his fate. If I can take down Zhou Bao and Man Yujun, my fate will surpass theirs even if they kill one more Tribulation Taker!”

“In that case, they will turn on you!” Wang Shang suddenly said, “You will have to face the Crown Prince of the Jade Emperor then!”

“Hump! Do you think they will dare to do that!” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently. “They are merely new Celestial Immortals who practice the annoying Way of the Emperor. Do they really think they are unequaled in strength?”

He spoke with so much confidence that Wang Shang was stunned for a second and thought instantly that this guy must have some important connections.

Of course he must know someone with important connections. There must be some Celestial Immortals backing him up. Otherwise, he would show some respect!

Celestial Immortals!!!

There were only three Celestial Immortals in the entire Immortal Realm.

However, it didn’t mean that there was no practitioners related to other Celestial Immortals in the Immortal Realm. The others had left to open new Taoist rites outside the Void Universe. But the practitioners related to them might have entered the Void Immortal Realm.

There were plenty of such practitioners. The ancient Earthly Immortals hiding in the deep spacetime still maintained contact with those Celestial Immortals. Some successors of Celestial Immortals had also come here to look for lucky opportunities.

For the Celestial Immortals, the Immortal Realm no longer had any value. But for the Earthly Immortals, as well as the Immortals wishing to become Earthly Immortals one day, this place was an absolute sanctum.

The successors of Celestial Immortals wouldn’t necessarily become Earthly Immortals one day. The best examples were Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the disciples of Taoist Zhen Yuan. They had been waiting for a long time already and only recently became Earthly Immortals, not to mention the others.

What Zhou Bao said and did had convinced Wang Shang that he was a practitioner related to some Celestial Immortals. Such practitioners were not to be tangled with because that would only bring endless trouble.

The prince and princess of the Jade Emperor Sage were such ones. The Bodhi Taoist in front of him might be one, too.

At the thought of this, Wang Shang’s eyes narrowed.

“You must be someone with great power, because even Celestial Immortals are nothing in your eyes!”

“You’re wrong. I’m nobody. How can I think nothing of Celestial Immortals? I just can’t bear the sight of those psychos who practice the Way of the Emperor!” Speaking of this, Zhou Bao realized something and asked, “How could this be? Practicing the Way of the Emperor is a disaster for other practitioners. How could the Jade Emperor Sage be so lucky to be able to achieve that?”

This was true. The key for practicing the Way of the Emperor was to enslave everyone. Only through this could one achieve the Basic level. It was possible for ordinary Emperors on earth. But even if the Jade Emperor overawed thousands of Realms when he was a practitioner, he couldn’t enslave the masses like the ordinary emperors did. How on earth did he complete the Way of the Emperor and become a Celestial Immortal?

Wang Shang grew suspicious as soon as he heard Zhou Bao’s question. “It seems that you are really from the Extraterritorial Area. You have no idea of this at all!”

“Why do you say that?”

“How the Jade Emperor Sage completed the Way of the Emperor is not a secret. Anyone who has been in the Immortal Realm for a long time should know it. Now that you don’t, you must have come from other Areas!”

“I really don’t know!” Zhou Bao was surprised and began to have some doubts. This was not right. If everyone knew it, then Wang She should know it, too. He had no reason to conceal this from Zhou Bao if he did. Could there be any unspeakable secrets?

Seeing that Zhou Bao had not the faintest idea about it, Wang Shang had more doubts about his background. He was almost certain that the guy was a successor of a Celestial Immortal from Extraterritorial Area. Otherwise, being a man with such powers, he should have known the Jade Emperor’s secret if he had been in the Immortal Realm for some time.

“It’s nothing important. At that time, the Jade Emperor Sage was the emperor of Heaven Realm World, the biggest macro world in the Human World. He ruled the heavens and the realms, but lacked the ability to enslave all the practitioners. No one expected he would have another approach to complete his Celestial Immortal’s Way. He took a shortcut.”

“A shortcut! Are you kidding me! Is there a shortcut to the Celestial Immortal’s Way?” Zhou Bao was stupefied. He had never heard such things. If there was a shortcut in this, then there must be shortcuts for everything else in the world!

“That’s right. He took the shortcut. But no one knows the details except him. We only know that he took advantage of the Necromancer’s Tribulation eight hundred and ten thousand years ago and completed the Celestial Immortal’s way. As to how he achieved this, no one knows!”

“Taking advantage of the Necromancer’s Tribulation and becoming a Celestial Immortal!” Zhou Bao frowned and then suddenly cursed, “This bastard, he will pay for this someday!”

Wang Shang smiled reluctantly. He had long passed the age of being hot-blooded. Seeing Zhou Bao’s reaction, he shook his head and said, “Fellow Taoist Bodhi, you are too young. The journey of practicing is long and tedious. If you do not have the right mental state, it’ll be so hard to reach the end. What the Jade Emperor Sage did and sought is just what we would have done and sought too!”
