Chapter 865: I Need Your Help

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

So this was the previous life. My previous life. Not the life of w.a.n.g Bo, but instead just a single thought bred in this Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock. A life supposed to be devoted to the device spirit of a Heavenly Fairy Weapon.

After finding out the cause and effect of his previous life, Zhou Bao hung his head in bewilderment for a while. He was curious to know why he was involved in an accident, which led him to reincarnate into the Human World and become a Tribulation Taker. But for now, his confusion negated the excitement to enter the fifth layer of the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock.

“Why do you appear beaten down already?” Seeing Zhou Bao at a loss, the willpower washed over him again.

“Beaten down? Me?” Zhou Bao asked, squinting in confusion at this question, which he did not understand one bit. “I understood all that happened in my previous life and am now a little absent-minded, but that doesn’t mean I’m beaten down.”

“Really? Don’t you feel that you’re just a thought bred in the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock? You’re not w.a.n.g Bo’s Real Body? And even if you are, it was just a projection of thought! Don’t you find this discouraging?”

“Hahahahahaha!!!” After listening to what it said, Zhou Bao laughed hysterically. “Sad? What is there to be sad about? I am who I am! So what if I’m just the consciousness of an essence or a reflection? Everything I hold now, including my cultivation, was all gained from my own hard work! Although great luck plays an important role in the matter, n.o.body can deny that everything was done through my hands! So what if I was a s.h.i.+t bug!”

“Well said. The fate of a hero is never decided at birth, even if you’re a s.h.i.+t bug, you can also become a Celestial Immortal! Hahahahahaha!” Zhou Bao finished speaking and an incomparably powerful willpower appeared in the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock. “You’re not too shabby!”

“Who is this?” Zhou Bao tilted his head, feeling like a monkey in a zoo for all to watch. His embarra.s.sment was quite unwelcomed.

“Don’t get angry, kid! We’re just a bunch of old guys dying from boredom for staying in the same s.p.a.ce for so long. We’re curious about this new-comer, that’s all!”

“Based on your combined strength, shouldn’t it be easy to leave the s.p.a.ce of the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock?”

“Leave? Why would we desire that? This is our home, this is where we were born and this is where we will be annihilated eventually! Why would we want to go elsewhere?” The pa.s.sion of that willpower projected from above the sun burned like fire. However, Zhou Bao’s confusion and amus.e.m.e.nt piqued around this point. The same feeling he felt just now when they asked if he was sad about his birth.

Yeah!

Why leave?

They should continue to stay on earth and live a good life, just like w.a.n.g Bo’s regrets in Zhou Bao’s previous life. Why should they dream about an unrealistic feat such as leaving this place?

Life for them was not something imaginary, nor was it a fairytale. These beings were all device spirits, and perhaps among them some ancient ones. If they left, they might be captured and refined by some powerful pract.i.tioners. Pract.i.tioners priced the device spirits of a Heavenly Fairy Weapon absurdly high. To them, these device spirits were hard-to-find supplements.

However, the s.p.a.ce in the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock was home to these device spirits. Even if an Earthly Immortal entered here, he would leave with grief and regrets instead, and his fairy weapons would be affected by the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock.

“Then you all must be the device spirits in the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock’s s.p.a.ce!”

“Not necessarily. We all have our own bodies. In the reflection of this universe, each star is a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. On each living planet, there exist countless device spirits in incubation!”

“You expect me to believe such a far fetched tale? Just how many Heavenly Fairy Weapons reside here?”

“As many as you can imagine!” The thought seemed willing to tell Zhou Bao everything. “Young man, don’t a.s.sume that the Heavenly Fairy Weapon is a powerful tool. Even the top player is underwhelming. The Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock experienced countless eras of destruction, what can it not handle? There were countless collisions between magic weapons and fairy weapons, heaven-and-earth destructions and inheritance of willpower. Those with some skills immigrated to the Extraterritorial Area. Whatever belongings they left behind are all here!” Zhou Bao understood this problem was related to secretive unknown factors. Although he wished to be enlightened more, he decided it best not to bring it up after some consideration.

“Then why did I reincarnate into the Human World?”

“I should not be the one answering this question, nor am I capable of doing so. Initially, I did, in fact, thought that you were an accident. But come to think of it, the whole situation cannot be explained using the term ‘accident’. This is especially because you have actually managed to become a Tribulation Taker in the Human World and even returned to the s.p.a.ce in Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock. This cannot be a coincidence!”

“If it’s not a coincidence, then what is it?”

“Once more, I cannot answer you. If that is what you desire, go search for the one who caused your plight.”

“And who may that be?”

“I haven’t the slightest clue.”

“Come on! Although this is just a reflection of the universe from the previous era, you are situated in the core star of this galaxy. If I’m guessing correctly, you’re in charge of controlling this galaxy!”

“I indeed control this galaxy, but he has been set up by someone and tampered with!” Another willpower coursed through Zhou Bao. “The s.p.a.ce in Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock may seem like a well-hidden secret, but in the eyes of the Celestial Immortal Sages, this is nowhere a secret. Although they cannot control the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock, they can cause some changes in this s.p.a.ce through other methods. An ordinary Celestial Immortal Sage only affects one or two layers of the s.p.a.ce with the real body of Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock agreeing to it. If they attempt to bypa.s.s the permission to do so, they will be banned from the Rock. However, there are some stronger Celestial Immortal Sages that can affect up to three layers. Although there aren’t many, and said Sages are all ancient. Even the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock cannot control nor stop whatever they wish to do.”

“That is to say, some ancient mighty Celestial Immortal set his eyes on me, an essence of a willpower belonging to a device spirit who gained spiritual intelligence? And he then sent me to reincarnate in the Human World and become a Tribulation Taker?” Zhou Bao’s face contorted in confusion. He did not believe what the willpower said.

And who could blame him? Why on earth would anyone do such things to Zhou Bao?

Even if there were Celestial Immortal Sages who lived for eons and had nothing to pa.s.s the time, why would they choose Zhou Bao? Why choose him among the countless planets and reflections of thoughts in this layer of the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock?

Was this all coincidence?

No.

After so many years of practice, Zhou Bao managed to understand a very important truth. In this world, love and hate existed for good reasons. There was a reason for everything and one thing certainly resulted in another. It was impossible for pure coincidence to occur.

“The answer you’re looking for is inside this s.p.a.ce, but only the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock can provide answers. But I don’t think it will be willing to divulge any Otherwise, it would have informed us already.” The thought sent from above the sun sighed softly.

“Then why did I enter the s.p.a.ce in the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock this time around? Do not tell me that this is a coincidence too!” Zhou Bao sneered.

“No, of course not! We know you’re searching for the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, the last technique of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. This is why the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock appeared to you and invited you in. Otherwise, did you think that brat, w.a.n.g Shang, could have discovered it!”

“You all possess the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique?”

“No, but we do know where the incantation resides.”

“Where?”

“It is carved on the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock’s real body. If you want it, enter the fifth layer of s.p.a.ce. Although the Rock will deny you the details, it won’t put you on the spot over it either.”

“I am still a little confused.”

And indeed he was. Although he needed to be in the s.p.a.ce of the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock, this did not mean that the device spirits should a.s.sist him selflessly.

Things like this should never happen.

“Of course, we have our conditions!” Just when Zhou Bao experienced a difficult time believing them, another willpower reached out. “We require your help!”

“Hahahahahaha!” Zhou Bao broke into laughter. “Are you all putting on an act? You bunch of old spirits have already lived here for so many years, even centuries! And yet you still need my a.s.sistance!”

“Of course we do! You’re the last Tribulation Taker in this era, so naturally we require it!”

“What kind of a.s.sistance?”

“Stop the Jade Emperor Sage from stealing the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock!”

“What!” Zhou Bao thought he heard them wrong.

“The Jade Emperor Sage desires to steal the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock? Wasn’t he vanquished and in full retreat? Besides, the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock is still the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons. Its powers are certainly not beneath that of the Jade Emperor Sage. How-”

“During the Dharma Ending Tribulation, the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock will enter a period of deterioration. And as for us, we will sleep deeply. During then, the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock is most vulnerable!”

“But how am I supposed to accomplish that!” For a Heavenly Fairy Weapon like the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock that endured so many eras, it would definitely recognize many ancient Celestial Immortals. At the very least, it would be able to recognize Taoist Jin, the creator of the Immortal Realm. If not, he would not have traveled to the Immortal Realm. Hence, he would definitely not be foolhardy enough to relate himself with such an obvious abnormal matter. “I’m not even an Earthly Immortal yet, how am I supposed to fight the Jade Emperor Sage?”

“That’s not something I can help you with.” That willpower replied plainly. “I’ll bring you to the fifth layer and the Treasure-s.n.a.t.c.hing Rock will solve your dilemma.”
