Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 847: The Three Greatest Forces in the Immortal Realm, Jade Emperor Sage

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

There were three great forces that were the strongest in the Immortal Realm, and the Jade Emperor Sage controlled the strongest one.

In the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain

Zhou Bao spent a whole hour chatting idly in the yard with the two new Earthly Immortals, Qing Feng and Ming Yue.

As they spoke, Zhou Bao heard many hints. Why did he think they were hinting?

Their words were vague, and yet they revealed some information about the Void Immortal Realm. They seemed to want to give him advice, but, they could only hint at him in a roundabout, chatty way.

“The Void Immortal Realm doesn’t seem that calm either!” Zhou Bao thought. After their conversation, he confirmed that the Ghost Child was right. There really were five Tribulation Takers in the universe, and the other four would have similar luck and strength.

For example, the guy who attacked him had inherited the Immortal-eliminating Sword, which was incredibly lethal. If Zhou Bao’s Seven Wonderful Techniques had not been refined to such a high state, he would have been killed.

The Seven Wonderful Techniques!!

The Seven Wonderful Techniques seemed to have become his most effective means of survival. Thinking of this, he looked at Qing Feng and Ming Yue. “Taoist priests, I’m new here, and I don’t know much about the Immortal Realm, so I need your help on some things!”

“There’s no need for formalities. You did us a huge favor. Although we can’t help you openly, we’ll do everything we can to help you out as long as we aren’t breaking the rules!”

Rules!!

The Void Immortal Realm had its own rules. They had been very kind to him to help him, so he cupped his hands to show his gratitude. “I want some information!”

“What do you want to know?”

“I heard that the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques is in the Void Immortal Realm. Do you have any information about it?”

“The Heaven and Earth Secret Technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques?!” Qing Feng and Ming Yue both blinked and froze momentarily.

“Is its whereabouts also a secret of the Void Immortal Realm?”

“No, the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique has been lost!” Qing Feng smiled bitterly. “It was carved on a large rock on an island in the Law Sea. 100 million years ago, the world changed. In a violent storm, the island sank, and the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique disappeared. No one ever knows its whereabouts!”

Zhou Bao was disappointed, but soon seemed to have thought of something. “If the rock was on the island 100 million years ago, someone should have seen it. Then it should have been passed down in the Immortal Realm!”

“You’re right. But 100 million years is a long time, even Earthly Immortals like us get confused after 100 million years. Things that happened 100 million years ago are mostly forgotten. Although the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, has some utility, for the people in the Immortal Realm, it was not so powerful. It’s probably long gone!”

“It was not so powerful?!” Zhou Bao was shocked. The Seven Wonderful Techniques were, in his view, the best techniques in the universe. What was more, they had been created by Taoist Jin. How could they not be powerful?

Qing Feng laughed at his shock, “Don’t be confused. The complete Seven Wonderful Techniques are a set of top techniques between the heaven and earth and can compete with the Four Immortal-killing Swords Qi. However, each piece of the Four Immortal-killing Swords Qi was so formidable that with just one of the four, one could overrun the whole world and go anywhere as he pleased. Each of the Seven Wonderful Techniques must cooperate with the other, but without cooperation, it, though useful, is far less powerful than the other cultivation methods. The most troublesome of all is that only people who have great luck, like the Tribulation Takers can get all of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. It’s extremely difficult for others to get even two of them. As a result, it has become a seemingly useless cultivation method, and no one in the Immortal Realm cares about it. If it had only been tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands of years, there might still be hope of it passing on, but more than 100 million years have passed. God knows if it’s lost!” At this point, he glanced at Zhou Bao with admiration. “You are a Tribulation Taker with great luck, so if you master several of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, you can fully exert their true strength. However, you can’t compare your fate and experience with others. It is akin to bullying!”

What Qing Feng said explained the matter!!!

The reason was very simple. Zhou Bao was not a fool, and he understood it immediately. The Seven Wonderful Techniques were indeed miraculous, but only a combination of several techniques could give full play to their particular power. And to get several techniques required the great luck of the Tribulation Takers. Without the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, there would not be that many Tribulation Takers. Without the great luck of Tribulation Takers, the effect of the Seven Wonderful Techniques in the Immortal Realm were only common auxiliary cultivation methods.

For example, if the Heavenly Jade Technique didn’t work together with the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, it could only play several times the power of the body. It might be good in the Void Universe, but in the Void Immortal Realm, it was an inferior technique. And the other wonderful techniques were the same. Who would bother practicing them?

As for whether it was a fluke or if someone had hidden these techniques as an investment to give them to the Tribulation Takers in the future… It was just an assumption.

Practitioners in the Immortal Realm were either Immortals or Earthly Immortals. Almost all of these practitioners would be sound when their tribulations came as long as they were careful not to get involved in the tribulations. Therefore, no one would be foolish enough to approach a Tribulation Taker.

Such foolish behavior was nothing short of suicide.

For these reasons, Qing Feng thought the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique had long been lost in the Immortal Realm.

“Damn, that’s too bad. I thought I could get some information about the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique from you. I wasn’t expecting to get such bad news!” Zhou Bao said. He pondered for a bit, knowing that his hope was ruined.

“But it’s not hopeless. You’ve collected six of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, and you should have some sense of the seventh technique!” Ming Yue said suddenly. “I believe there is no one else in the universe that has practiced more Seven Wonderful Techniques than you. Our teacher once said that there will be telepathic connections between people who have practiced the Seven Wonderful Techniques. You have six of them. If you meet other people who have practiced these techniques, you should be able to feel them through your spiritual mind!”

“That’s one way. But, will they be aware of me?”

“As I said, you’ve practiced six of the Seven Wonderful Techniques, and there is no one else in the universe that has practiced more Seven Wonderful Techniques than you. No one would be able to feel you!” Ming Yue smiled. “That’s your biggest advantage!”

“Even so, in the endless Immortal Realm, I’m like a blind man looking for a needle in a haystack!”

“The Immortal Realm is indeed vast, but there are not that many practitioners here. Although most of them do not pay attention to the world, it does not mean that you do not have access to them!”

“How can I access them?” Zhou Bao’s eyes lit up.

“The Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is coming, and the passage to the Immortal Realm had been reopened. You came here from the Heaven Realm World through the passage, it could not be a secret!” Qing Feng said. “What’s more, it’s extremely difficult for the Immortal Realm to stay out from such a big tribulation. Maybe those Old Weirdoes have to do something!”

“Are there actually Celestial Immortals in the Immortal Realm?” Zhou Bao suddenly asked.

Celestial Immortals had already gotten rid of the limitation of the entire Void Universe. Even if the Void Universe and the Immortal Realm were destroyed, they would not die. They were also called Sages.

The Fifth Manor had a Celestial Immortal, Zhen Yuanzi. But now he was clearly not here. And all his disciples had gone, except Qing Feng and Ming Yue. It could be seen that the two were doomed to look after the house.

“Yes, there are, but not many!” They openly told him. “In addition to the old weirdoes who are having a closed-door training, there are maybe six other Celestial Immortals in the Immortal Realm. There are three people who have really established their own power. When your Divine Tribulation blew open the passage to the Immortal Realm, it was these three guys who conveyed their will and swept through the Void Universe with their thoughts. The others, like our masters, have left the Void Universe, opened up their own Taoist rites, and escaped the tribulation between heaven and earth.”

The Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was not easy to overcome. Although it was not that difficult for Celestial Immortals, their best option was to avoid it. Otherwise, even if they got through the tribulation, they could catch some troublesome Karma.

The three Sages that stayed in the Immortal Realm had no choice but to intervene in the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, for they had previous Karma. They wanted to pay off it during the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, they would never be truly detached.

“The most troublesome of the three Sages is the Gale Sage in the eye of storm. No one knows his background, but he has many subordinates, some of whom are Emperors. He has a great reputation and the strongest power in the Immortal Realm; The second is the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage in the Chaotic Poisonous Sea. He practices from a Nine-headed Fierce Beast belonging to the Six Royals of the Primordial Fierce Beasts; The last one is the Jade Emperor Sage in the Jade Emperor Palace!”

“Jade Emperor Sage?!”

Seeing Zhou Bao’s surprised face, Ming Yue smiled. “Yes, the Jade Emperor Sage, the head of the ancient 99 Emperors, the Jade Emperor, who rules heavens and realms. In the past 100 million years, he is the only man who has completed the Way of the Emperor’s 3,000 Great Ways.”
