Chapter 695: In the Fifth Manor

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

When it came to climbing up the social ladder, it wasn’t just doing great things one day and climbing the next one. It was a far more complex task that required constant effort and results in order the be successful.

This time around, the Heaven Realm World was coveted by an alien world. It was set for the Fairy Weapon of Fate to be split into three. According to the initial result, it was without doubt that Fate Creation Boy was going to become the only Fate Creator. However, his power was so weak and the human heart was so full of desire and greed that anything could happen.

A Fate Creator possessed the ultimate authority to control the whole Heaven Realm World. The fate creator could even enter the Void Immortal Realm if he was good enough. No one was willing to give up on such benefits.

With profits came competition. The higher the profits, the greater the competition.

More than one influence was eyeing on the throne. Hence, even if Fate Creation Boy was a Fate Creator, they still dared to take up the challenge.

The Fairy Weapon of Fate was to be split into three and given to three different people. This was no good news for Fate Creation Boy, who was the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate. It was his own body, having it split into three would naturally cause his power to decrease tremendously. Hence, when all the big influences in the Heaven Realm World expressed their interest in becoming the Fate Creator, Fate Creation Boy was so powerless he could only seek for external help.

And Zhou Bao happened to be his best choice.

However, it was not enough to rely on Zhou Bao alone. This was because Zhou Bao’s combat capability could only, at most, be ranked third in the Heaven Realm World. No one knew better than Fate Creation Boy about this. There were still the Sea Emperor and another person ranked in front of Zhou Bao. This other person was the grandfather from the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain.

Many people knew about him. He gained his reputation in the antiquity times from killing many people who were eyeing on the Longevity Mountain. When the Four Eastern Regions and Three Western Regions were fighting, this grandfather tied up the chief and second lord of Divine Wind Palace before throwing them into the sea. By noon on that day, Divine Wind Palace, who had their eyes set on ruling the whole Seven-deity Regions, returned back to the Four Eastern Regions. That was how the grandfather gained his reputation and the Fifth Manor was declared one of the strongest sects in the Three Western Regions.

However, no one knew that the real mastermind behind the mysterious sect was actually Fate Creation Boy.

On this day, Fate Creation Boy was exactly the one that appeared in front of Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain.

He was still dressed like a boy. He arrived in front of the Manor but dared not be too careless. He made his way in and upon his second step, he found a cyan-clothed Taoist Attendant approaching him.

“Qing Feng senior brother, you’ve not changed!” Looking at his Taoist Attendant, who was about 13 to 14 years old, Fate Creation Boy put his hands together and laughed.

“You’re overcomplimenting me. Old Master has already given his orders with regards to the purpose of the Fate Creator’s coming. Old Master will not interfere in this Heaven Realm World issue. He will not meet anyone, be it you or other people. As long as this issue does not affect the Fifth Manor, then everything will be treated normally. Hence, there is no need for you to worry!”

“Since that is the case, then I’m relieved!” Hearing what the Taoist Attendant said, Fate Creation Boy nodded his head deeply. Neither did he continue to walk into the Manor, nor did he continue to have any intention to meet the master. He turned around and left with no hesitation.

Seeing Fate Creation Boy leave, a trace of helplessness was seen on Qing Feng’s face. He turned around and walked into the depths of the Fifth Manor.

The Fifth Manor was made up of houses that were a few levels tall each. The Taoist Attendant was familiarized with the route to the main house, which consisted of five houses facing south. The houses had carved patterns that were bright at the top and dim at the bottom. The Taoist Attendant pushed open the doors, revealing two big colorful words “Heaven” and “Earth” that were hung in the middle of the wall. There was a bright red table used to put an incense burner and there was a gold stove bottle sitting on top of the table. There were incense sticks on the sides of the stove.

Before the table, there was another Taoist Attendant that was roughly about Qing Feng’s age. He was using a small cloth to clean the gold stove bottle. Seeing Qing Feng walking over, he asked without looking up, “Has Fate Creation Boy already left?!”

“Yes, how could he not, when we’ve already stated our stance so clearly!”

“You’re right, but we’re in the Heaven Realm World! If we do not care about any other matters, then what if in the future-!”

“Ming Yue, do not doubt the Old Master’s decision!” Qing Feng interrupted. “We do not have to involve ourselves in the messy situation happening in the Heaven Realm World. Even if we do, it’s not the right moment!” Ming Yue nodded his head and said no more. He continued wiping the stove in silence.

“Qing Feng, come in!”

As the two spoke, a clear voice sounded in the room.

“Yes, Old Master!”

After answering, Qing Feng glanced at Ming Yue before lifting up his leg and walking towards the back of the house.

The young Taoist was seen walking towards the back door and the space around him seemed to flash and vibrate. As if stepping into a pool of water, he disappeared instantly.

“Old Master were you looking for me?!”

Behind the screen of still water was a quiet and small room. The setting was simple: there was a zafu in the center, and a handsome middle-aged Taoist sat cross-legged on it.

“Come and see!”

The Taoist swung his hand in the air and a mirror appeared out of nowhere. The area above the mirror vibrated like water ripples. An image started to form on it and a moving picture was shown. If Zhou Bao was here, he would be extremely shocked. The moving picture depicts the scene where he meets a bloody-robed man on the ancestral star of the Fiery Eyes tribe.

The whole process of the fight was shown with no loopholes and down to the smallest details.

It was like watching the fight from a camera recording.

“Old Master, this is -!”

“Look carefully!” Qing Feng wanted to say some more but was cut off by the middle-aged Taoist. He could only stand there and watch the whole fight without saying a thing. After the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven left, Zhou Bao appeared and left too.

“How was it?!”

Seeing Zhou Bao’s battle scene, Qing Feng furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “It is a very violent style of fighting!”

“Don’t you feel that he’s like another person?!”

“Indeed, especially if he has a pole!” Qing Feng laughed, “Old Master, did you really call me here just to look at him?!”

“Not to look at him, but the whole fighting scene. What do you think?!” The middle-aged man smiled as he pointed to the scene. “This bloody-robed man is a helper hired by the Fairy Pool Hunter. He is also the predicted number one thug in the Heaven Realm World according to the Fairy Pool Hunter’s plan. What do you think of him?!”

“No, this person is too confident, too full of himself, and is extremely under-estimating his opponent!” Qing Feng shooked his head, “He thinks that the force of the ancestral star is enough to defeat Zhou Bao, but he does not know that Zhou Bao is familiar with the Great Way of Heavens and Realms. Hence, the hollow maze does not pose any difficulty to him at all, he is only playing around with his opponent!”

“Not bad, this Zhou Bao is indeed a rare individual!” The middle-aged Taoist nodded, “He is much stronger than that betrayer! Also, he even has a Supreme Fairy Weapon and owns the Azure Big World! He is a Controller-!”

“But that Azure Big World-!”

“Humans can plan but fate is still the one that makes things happen. Whether or not the Azure Heavens can achieve big things depend not on Zhou Bao, but on fate! This applies to Zhou Bao too, his success tomorrow will depend on heaven’s wishes!” The middle-aged Taoist smiled, “Right now, the heaven’s wishes are unclear, we can’t see anything. I called you here to ask you to take note of this young man. Perhaps, he will become a key character in helping you guys achieve enlightenment in the future!”

“He-!”

After Qing Feng heard his words, he was taken aback. He pointed towards Zhou Bao’s image and asked, “Old Master, you’re saying -!”

“This is just what I feel. The Way of Heaven has yet to show itself. If fate is not smooth, then even I cannot make an educated guess. Like what I just said, this is just a feeling!” Speaking of which, he smiled, “I have 48 disciples. Till today, only you and Ming Yue have not become Earthly Immortals yet!”

“I am stupid, I hope that Old Master will punish me!” Qing Feng heard his words and immediately knelt down.

“What’s there to punish? If I bring you guys outside, you can already have your disciples, what’s the point of following me!” The middle-aged Taoist sighed, “There is only the stupid oath I made back then, requesting that all my disciples have to become Earthly Immortals before they can leave the Fifth Manor. This made you guys suffer so much!”

Qing Feng continued to kneel silently, not daring to answer him.

“Forget it, forget it, there is no need to bring this up again. No matter what, you two have already earned your Immortal Karmic Rank. Although the Earthly Immortal is still a far-away goal, it is not so far as compared to the past. Go!”

“Yes, Old Master!” Qing Feng dared not say anything else and left the quiet room silently. However, the words of the middle-aged Taoist deeply affected his mind.

Perhaps, he will become a key character in helping you guys achieve enlightenment in the future!

These words hit him hard.

Although the Old Master continued by talking about the Way of Heaven not showing itself and that the fate was not smooth, these were all his small inferences. Given Old Master’s status, for all these years, were his inferences ever wrong?

No, not even once. Since Old Master said that Zhou Bao was a key character in helping him and Ming Yue become Earthly Immortals, then this should most likely be the case. That was to say, Zhou Bao was an indispensable character now.

“Maybe I should help him behind the scenes!” He thought about it and left the house. Afterward, he copied a big broom in front of the house and walked out.

“Qing Feng, what did Old Master call you for?!”

“What else other than to talk about the Fate Creator and us becoming Earthly Immortals!” Qing Feng used to not keep anything from Ming Yue, so he told her everything the middle-aged Taoist talked to him about.

“Did Old Master really say so?!”

“Of course, would I ever lie to you about something like this?!”

“Then, is this Zhou Bao that crucial to us?!”

“That should be the case. Old Master did not specify clearly, but I think there’s an 80% chance!”

“80%, at least 80%. If he isn’t at least 80% sure, Old Master would definitely not bring it up!” Ming Yue nodded her head with much certainty. “Then it seems like we should take more notice of this Zhou Bao!”

“Don’t make a fuss. Didn’t Old Master say it already? The Way of Heaven has yet to show itself, and the fate is not smooth. Based on Zhou Bao’s speed of doing things, we don’t even need to find him. Very soon, he will be standing in front of us. By then, let’s see if we can help him!”

“Alright!”
