Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 858: I’m Also a Rookie

“What the Jade Emperor sought is just what we are seeking for too!!” After hearing Wang Shang’s words, Zhou Bao calmed down.

The practitioners’ goal was to achieve higher levels in practice. The ultimate purpose of practicing was to have a free and eternal life.

What was the purpose of practicing the skills in power and killing?

For self-protection.

In fact, practice was a simple thing. To achieve certain results in practice, everyone would make the same choice, even though it included playing dirty tricks.

To sacrifice a fellow Taoist for one’s own survival.

This was true in any world.

“Interesting! Why should I be so indignant? I’m not a good guy. How could I ask for justice for those bastards? Perhaps when I encounter such things in the future, I would be even more terrible and greedier!”

With the protection from Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi, they moved at a much quicker pace than the other practitioners and soon left them far behind.

“This is the Central Divine Palace. At that time, the ancient Earthly Immortals, influenced by the ancient deities, started building Divine Palaces in their macro worlds. They enjoyed the feeling of being Creation Deities.” Wang Shang explained.

For the practitioners in the Immortal Realm, it was not difficult to discover the ancient relics. In fact, it was rather simple and effortless. Once they found the right direction, the only thing to do was to keep moving straight towards the center of the macro world.

Even though this broken world had been shattered into numerous pieces, it was still an easy task for Zhou Bao and Wang Shang to find its center.

In fact, they located the center from the outset. With the Sword Qi as the protector, they reached the destination without much effort.

Looking at the desolation and ruined grounds, Zhou Bao frowned. He never thought the Central Divine Palace would look like such a wasteland.

Huge stones more than one thousand feet high were scattered around. Marks left by unknown forces could be seen everywhere on the ground. They were still there after so many years and were clear evidences of the brutal war in those days.

Ancient spirits lingered around those marks; raging storms roamed between layers of spatial faults.

The Divine Palace had long been destroyed. The majesty of the building was conceivable through the broken pieces left behind, but treasures once inside the palace had completely vanished. There was only traces of a battle field, without any valuables left.

Zhou Bao and Wang Shang’s strong Divine Awareness was greatly interfered within this palace. The battle spirit left by the Ancient Mighty Experts and Earthly Immortals was not easy to break.

“It seems to have been ransacked thoroughly, but we’d better search again!”

The two were a little discouraged by the sight. But they had traveled a long distance and didn’t want to return empty handed.

“Taoist Wang, you are very knowledgeable. This Divine Palace looks worthless. But I believe you must know some of its secrets!”

“You really flatter me. I’m not like what you think. Only that some elders in my school have entered this relic and know something about it. This place looks like ruins without any living creatures. But there’re some secrets hidden inside.”

“Sure enough. I think so too. If there’re only ruins, how could it attract so many practitioners? No one is that foolish. Why would they try so hard to get here if there’s nothing for them?”

“The entrance to this relic is linked to another macro world. It belonged to Emperor Wanfeng of the Rock Cliff Sect, who was worshipped in the Central Divine Palace. Emperor Wanfeng was not among the most powerful in the Rock Cliff Sect, but he had a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, the Celestial Treasured Wheel. This wheel was said to be built by an ancient Celestial Immortal and contained numerous secrets about space. The Rock Cliff Sect was destroyed by Celestial Immortals. But at the last moment, some elders of the sect hid their treasures inside the Celestial Treasured Wheel. Those treasures were regarded as the inheritance of this sect. At last, the wheel disappeared in the Central Divine Palace, which is not a secret in the Immortal Realm. For many years, numerous practitioners have come here in search of the wheel but without any results. However, every time the relic was opened, the wheel would be stimulated and ejected things like magic weapons, elixirs or fragments of space. What you can collect totally depends on your luck!”

“Is that true? Are you saying the Celestial Treasured Wheel has not ejected anything yet?”

“No. It already did. The things are probably hidden between the spatial faults. We need to search very carefully!” Wang Shang was a little upset. He had never dreamed of getting any treasures in the Central Divine Palace. He knew he was just an Independent Practitioner who had inherited something before. People stronger than him were everywhere in the relic. He just came here to take his chance and get some benefits if possible. He never thought he could reach the palace ahead of all the others. There were countless inhibitions and dangers in this broken world. Other practitioners, even the strongest ones, could only reach here three days later. Only the guy beside him was unstoppable with his Immortal-killing and Immortal-slaying Sword Qis.

Three days. This was the shortest possible time for practitioners to reach the Central Divine Palace in the past.

“Alas! Had I known about it, I would have paid big money for some inside information about the Central Divine Palace and the Celestial Treasured Wheel!” Wang Shang smiled bitterly.

“What do you mean?” Zhou Bao was confused.

“I’m not powerful enough. Also I never dreamed I could get here and so quickly at that! The information I have is something that is shared by everyone. As for any secret details about the palace, I only have a general idea!”

“That is to say you don’t know everything?” Zhou Bao also looked frustrated. Did he choose the wrong guy? He thought he met one with a clear mind, but he turned out to be only a rookie.

“Hehe. Well, fellow Taoist Bodhi, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you are so powerful!” Wang Shang was also depressed. As an Independent Practitioner, he had his own purpose in searching for this relic. The Central Divine Palace was only a dream to him. But now, he was brought to the palace by Zhou Bao only because of what he had said. Now that they were here, they would certainly spend some time searching. God knew if he had enough time to look for what he originally wanted.

“Forget about it! Since you don’t know, let’s search high and low!” Zhou Bao soon recovered from his frustration and was clearly aware of the situation. He had the ability to discover the secrets even without any help. Moreover, Wang Shang was not completely clueless.

Zhou Bao brought out the Sword Qi again and cleared all the obstacles between the Central Divine Palace and themselves. This time, Wang Shang didn’t hesitate at all. He followed Zhou Bao into the ruins of the Divine Palace.

“This is a real Central Divine Palace. Being targeted by so many attacks, it has become totally lifeless. Yet the strong and freaky Dharma ceaselessly absorbs any life stepping on the land!” Zhou Bao said quietly.

“The Dharma is indeed strong. Practitioners below Human Immortals will be sucked dry immediately. Even Immortals might not survive!”

“Immortals might not survive. Yet you are safe and sound!”

“So are you!”

They looked at each other and smiled.

The ruins did not cover a large area, no more than five thousand square meters. It would not take too much time and effort to scan the entire wasteland even without any divine thoughts.

“There’s something!” They both stopped beside a huge broken stone. The stone was broken, but the breakage looked different from the others. The exquisite pattern was spread out in a design that looked like beautiful flowers. Within these flowers, there were some slight spatial fluctuation, which was almost undetectable.

“This is a hidden spatial fault created during the war. But we don’t know what kind of unknown space it is linked to!” After a moment of telepathic connection, Wang Shang confirmed the fact. He sounded both expectant and disappointed.

After all, during the war that destroyed the Rock Cliff Sect, the Celestial Immortals’ attack contained huge spatial forces. It was not surprising that the places being struck still contained some spatial forces. There were many spatial faults within this wasteland.

“This is different from other spatial faults!” Zhou Bao suddenly said, “There’s a slight gravity in the spatial fluctuation!” While speaking, he turned his hand over and a blue bead appeared in his palm. Strange things then happened! As soon as the bead showed up, a stream of light flashed over the crack and shone directly on it. Then, the blue bead disappeared.

“This is the place we are looking for!”
