Omnipotent Sage

Earthly Immortals were also known as Great Emperors.

Since antiquity times, Earthly Immortal was a synonym of Great Emperor. When one’s cultivation reached the Earthly Immortal Realm, he earned the title Great Emperor.

However, since the Heaven Realm from that era disappeared and the Void Immortal Realm lost touch with the Void Universe, Earthly Immortals were numbered. Only less than 10 Earthly Immortals appeared over the past 810,000 years.

The Patriarch of the Eastern Thunder Sect was among the last practitioners.

With his strength, it would prove elementary to exterminate the Devil Tribe that came from the Devil Realm and close the entire transmitting channel in the shortest time. However, for the Eastern Thunder Sect, the loss of this action outweighed the gain.

In today’s Void Universe, an Earthly Immortal represented the ultimate power, like the nuclear weapon from Zhou Bao’s previous life. It represented an unmatched power of shock and awe. Mighty as the Holy Alliance was in the Void Universe, an Earthly Immortal ranked with the strongest combat capability.

Except for the super influence Holy Alliance, only the top 10 macro worlds possessed Earthly Immortals. Other macro worlds just had Immortals at the peak level as their strongest combat capability.

In the Void Universe, the Eastern Thunder World held limited power. It served merely as a macro world situated at the Easternmost Land. In the Void Universe where worlds were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, it was just so ordinary.

However, it actually possessed an Earthly Immortal! That meant it became one of the most powerful influences along with the Eastern Thunder Sect.

That was an undisputed fact. Any Earthly Immortal could refine his own macro world, and once triumphant, he could destroy a macro world without much effort.

Except for another Earthly Immortal, otherwise, no matter the numbers of Immortals, none could combat an Earthly Immortal.

However, the Eastern Thunder Sect now faced a special situation.

Their Patriarch just entered the Earthly Immortal Realm and still needed a long time, at least thousands of years, to consolidate his cultivation. If he used his macro world at this point, he would exhaust much more time to do that. Furthermore, if he were careless and damaged his foundation, his macro world be imperfect. He then had to risk spending tens of thousands of years to repair it. In that case, he lost more than he gained.

Therefore, instead of bothering their Earthly Immortal, the Eastern Thunder Sect would rather conduct a blood sacrifice, at the cost of a hundred million practitioners, to summon a God or a Demon to get through this crisis. For them, it was worthwhile to sacrifice all the practitioners in the Eastern Thunder World because they believed an Earthly Immortal recouped their losses.

Moreover, that Earthly Immortal served as their ace in the hole. He only played the biggest role when he remained in hiding.

Now, however, their plan leaked ahead of schedule. Given their strength, it was not too difficult to suppress a hundred million practitioners but was nearly impossible to force them to stay where they were obediently to activate that huge altar.

Every practitioner understood what the blood sacrifice meant. Once it started, all their spirits, essence, and blood would be engulfed by the God or Demon it summoned and they could not be reincarnated forever. However, if they died in battle, as long as there was a wisp of the remaining soul, they could be reborn again or possess another’s body. After weighing the two consequences, they surely rather die in battle than give in and be sacrificed.

Hence, the Eastern Thunder Sect was in trouble now.

They probably journeyed for wool and came home shorn. Zhou Bao spread the news joyfully because he foresaw this outcome.

And he almost thought he succeeded.

He did not alert until the Ghost Child reminded him again.

The aura of an Earthly Immortal!

The Ghost Child sensed the aura of an Earthly Immortal when the Thunder Capital plunged into utter chaos, and that was definitely not a good thing.

He jumped with excitement in Zhou Bao’s Sea of Consciousness.

“This person has just become an Earthly Immortal. His macro world is not stable and he has not fully mastered his power. Therefore, his aura leaked and I noticed. Boy, this is a good opportunity! Kill him and feed my body with his spirit, essence, and blood. That way my strength will increase greatly. The spirit, essence, and blood of an Earthly Immortal are more effective than those of a hundred million practitioners.”

“How greedy you are!” Zhou Bao swore. “That is an Earthly Immortal, not a nobody. I’m just a Human Immortal who has newly achieved the Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit in Acupoint. I failed to reach the state of Five Qis Collecting in Mind yet. How can I kill him? Crashing him with my Black Pearl?!”

“I can help you. You need not use your Supreme Fairy Weapon. I have restored some pneuma and am able to gather a wisp of murderous intent that can kill an Earthly Immortal. As long as you seize the opportunity to kill this Earthly Immortal, you can reap huge benefits—you can snatch his macro world and integrate it into your Supreme Fairy Weapon. It will make the power of your Supreme Fairy Weapon increase by leaps and bounds. Meanwhile, you can comprehend the World Law and practice the Five Qis in the Chest.” The Ghost Child tempted him into doing it.

“No! The risk is too high!” Some light flashed through Zhou Bao’s eyes, but he did not agree.

“Boy, you should be satisfied with that! It’s the best I can do for you now. I haven’t recovered my strength yet, so I cannot kill anyone I want as before. I don’t have that ability!”

“I don’t have any insatiable demand. The stakes of this matter are too high!” Zhou Bao used his divine thoughts to haggle with the red gourd. “I have made a Supreme Fairy Weapon and have reached the Human Immortal Realm. It’s only a matter of time before I gather the Five Qis in the Chest and advance the power of my Supreme Fairy Weapon. I have plenty of time. I don’t need to risk my life to get something I can obtain in the near future, right? I’m not silly enough to fight an Earthly Immortal!”

“This is a good opportunity to seize the macro world and the Dharma of an Earthly Immortal. You can reap more benefits than I have told you. At least you can step into the Immortal Realm very quickly after you reach the state of Five Qis Collecting in Mind. Moreover, it will do a lot of good to you while you are crossing tribulation!”

“Do you think I can’t cross that tribulation?!” Zhou Bao wore a faint smile.

Indeed, given Zhou Bao’s current strength, the Human Immortal Tribulation was just a piece of cake for him. Even the Immortal Tribulation did not matter to him. He had 50 to 60% of confidence to cross the Earthly Immortal Tribulation with his Yin and Yang Dust Formation and Supreme Fairy Weapon.

“You must understand that this will make your strength increase dramatically in a very short time!”

“I have enough time.” Zhou Bao said calmly. “In addition, a sudden increase in strength will make my foundation shaky. I’m well aware of that myself. That’s why I left the Heaven Realm World. I did so to temper my fist intent and stabilize my foundation!”

Zhou Bao asserted eloquently, paying no heed to kill the Earthly Immortal.

The Ghost Child grew anxious. Be it the killing intent of a hundred million practitioners or the spirits, essence, and blood of an Earthly Immortal—they all were tonics to him. He could get great benefits, and that was for sure. Now, he faced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he did not grasp it, it would slip away. He had been quiet for so many years and did not want to continue living such a life. He could simply not wait so long to see his strength recover step by step according to normal cases. So, he was eager to seize this opportunity. But considering his current state, he was unable to do that except for relying on Zhou Bao. Nevertheless, Zhou Bao was not satisfied with the benefits he promised him and desired more advantages from him through this matter.

“Well, you’re right. A sudden increase in strength will make your foundation unstable, but if you really absorb the Dharma of an Earthly Immortal and reshape his broken macro world, your shaky foundation would not be weakened again and it would not increase the difficulties to comprehend the fist intent for you. Of course, I won’t give you so few benefits. You have opportunities, potential, and fate. I’ve been watching you grow up over the years. You have to understand that there existed few people who had such fate like you in antiquity times, let alone in primitive times. You have a very promising future. Therefore, don’t allow the goal to be an Immortal or an Earthly Immortal limit your vision. You will surely be able to enter the Celestial Immortal Realm. The Earthly Immortal Realm is merely a ridge for you. It’s easy for you to break through. You should focus on the Celestial Immortal’s Great Way and that is your ultimate goal!”

“Celestial Immortal’s Great Way? Do you see me as a stupid wooden club?” Zhou Bao burst out laughing. To be honest, he thought he was a man of great ambition and ideal, but he merely aimed at being an Earthly Immortal. Jesus Christ, did the damn Celestial Immortal’s Great Way really exist?

“I did not lie to you, boy. You do have the potential to achieve the Celestial Immortal’s Great Way, but you also need my assistance!”

“I’m not stupid. What you said is nothing more than a pie in the sky. I want something practical that is enough to tempt me!”

“I can teach you the cultivation method of the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations!”

“Primordial Spirits of Three Separations?”

“Yes, boy. You already possess the Dark Female Pearl and an incarnation. But they are just Little Ways and you haven’t practiced them in the right way. Your incarnation has almost become the device spirit of the Furnace of Immortality. It has both advantages and disadvantages. You cultivated a primordial spirit by accident but haven’t used it properly. It’s truly funny!”

“Don’t make a mystery of it. What are the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations? Tell me everything in detail. I will assist if I think the price is reasonable!”
