"They are the essence of the entire Void Universe. Through these World Chakras, you can even perceive the Universe Chakras. The reason that Heaven Realm World is the top macro world and owns the pa.s.sageway leading to the Void Immortal Realm is that it shares the same main Chakra with the Void Immortal Realm. And that pa.s.sageway is just a substantial form of the main Chakra!" At this point, Celestial Mystery Emperor burst out laughing. "Now, those juniors in the Void Immortal Realm are trying to repair that pa.s.sageway. But is it going to be as simple as that? If they can't find the location of the main Chakra, they'll never be able to do it. Searching for the location of the main Chakra is not an easy job!"

"No wonder recent negotiations between Heaven Realm World and other macro worlds have come to a stalemate and everyone seems to be unhappy. That explains it. These macro worlds are connecting with Heaven Realm World and all for the sake of the pa.s.sageway. But it looks like that they haven't found a way to open the pa.s.sageway, and that's why the situation is like this today!"

"There is more than one person who is aware of this. Anyway, that pa.s.sageway is not a real Chakra, and it existed in Heaven Realm World. If they can find a guy who used to travel through to the Void Immortal Realm via that pa.s.sageway, they can pin down the location by deduction. However, the negotiations haven't touched on this so far!"

"Nothing in Heaven Realm escapes Your Majesty's eyes!"

"Humph, do you really think we'll leave Heaven Realm alone?" Celestial Mystery Emperor sneered. "All the things we did is just for that moment. Whether you're willing or not, whether you cling to your grievance or not, if you do this favor for us, the benefits lying in wait for you will great. But if you have other agendas in mind and screw this up on purpose, I a.s.sure you, you'll regret being born to this world!"

Child-endowing Buddha took a deep breath. There was a cold gleam in his eyes. Then, as if he had finally made up his mind, he nodded intently.

Child-endowing Buddha gave in. He had no alternatives at all. Neither Celestial Mystery Emperor nor the Great Demon Emperor were people he could afford to offend. They both had the capability to make him regret this refusal for the rest of his life. He would be an idiot if he refused to obey them. However, letting himself be manipulated was not what he wanted, either. The plan of Celestial Mystery Emperor and the Great Demon Emperor might be very efficient and comprehensive, but the one who carried it out was likely to be the target and had to face the consequences. When these Emperors realized their goal and achieved their great cause, it was highly possible that his life would be sacrificed in order to quell the anger of the unlucky guys.

For a guy practicing the Way of the Emperor, he was very familiar about this kind of operation. But Child-endowing Buddha did not want to be the victim.

Nevertheless, in the Highest Jade Cave Heaven, he had no other choice but to give in. After he made a verbal promise, Celestial Mystery Emperor still did not trust him, so he made him swear the Great Vow of the Heart Demon before releasing him.

Celestial Mystery Emperor really deserved his t.i.tle. The way he forced Child-endowing Buddha to make the vow was perfect; it left no loopholes for Child-endowing Buddha to exploit.

However, he missed one point: before Child-endowing Buddha entered Highest Jade Cave Heaven, he had inadvertently told the story about the World Chakras to Zhou Bao. Although he did not realize that what he saw was the World Chakras at that time, this did offer him a leeway, which was also an unpredictable element.

Neither Celestial Mystery Emperor nor the Great Demon Emperor had ever thought that the Green Dragon King would disclose this vital issue to someone else. It was a known fact that if any pract.i.tioner discovered the secret about World Chakras, as long as he was in his right mind, he would certainly zip his mouth and keep this secret to himself forever.

Since Celestial Mystery Emperor did not ask, Child-endowing Buddha naturally would not tell him that. Also, Child-endowing Buddha was clear that perhaps this was the only variate in this matter, and his life might simply depend on this variate.

"In this way, Zhou Bao is really the variate. Maybe the schemes of these Emperors will finally come down on him!" Thinking of this, a miserable Child-endowing Buddha could not help but give a bitter smile. "Frankly, this boy may have a more tragic ending than I do!"

After living in this world for so many years, experience told Child-endowing Buddha that the number of guys who were variates in tribulations but still had a decent ending or were still alive were lesser than the number of fingers one had. Even if some of them were still alive, they probably were not leading good lives. The best typical example was Vast Sea Emperor, one of the 99 Emperors in antiquity times. He was the variate of the tribulation in antiquity times, the Tribulation Taker. Although he was tough enough to power through that tribulation and obtained huge benefits like being promoted to the Earthly Immortal Karmic Rank as well as becoming an Emperor, how did he end up? During the Necromancer's Tribulation, which initially did not concern him, he was supposed to be perfectly safe with his Emperor status and his dominating influence. However, he got involved as the Tribulation Taker. Even though he was not killed, he was trapped in the endless s.p.a.cetime for over a million years, which was basically the same treatment that Child-endowing Buddha received.

Therefore, as the matter in Heaven Realm World developed, some curious clues were now surfacing. Now, he decided to keep his distance from Zhou Bao, a probable Tribulation Taker. But to his surprise, before he could put it in practice, he had already been caught in the mess. It was obvious that Zhou Bao was a Tribulation Taker, whereas there usually were multiple Tribulation Takers. Based on the current situation, he was also one of the Tribulation Takers, and the most crucial one, too. Suddenly, his previous calculations were all in vain.

Now that Child-endowing Buddha was a Tribulation Taker, he was well aware of taking on the tribulation and throwing away his secret agendas. In the Highest Jade Cave Heaven, those agendas he kept had all been spotted and discarded by Celestial Mystery Emperor. Despite his refusal, he could do nothing about this at all.

Though he had a profound cultivation, when this type of situation happened, he still a bit lost. Thus, he was not quite himself the next few days.

Being out of form like this was partly due to his bad mood. However, the other part of the reason was to give Zhou Bao a hint.

The Great Vow of the Heart Demon that he swore under the order of the Celestial Mystery Emperor was unbreakable. Now, even if he wanted to say something to Zhou Bao, he could not do so. Therefore, he had to adopt some obscure way to transmit the information. And whether Zhou Bao could pick up his hints or not, that was beyond his control.

Zhou Bao was not stupid. He knew how powerful Child-endowing Buddha was. For such a powerful figure, staying in low spirits was apparently unusual. After he questioned Child-endowing Buddha several times but failed to extract any useful information from him, Zhou Bao realized that this was very odd. Child-endowing Buddha had disappeared for many days without any good reason. Now that he was back, his att.i.tude had also been quite strange. Zhou Bao guessed that something must have happened in the days when Child-endowing Buddha disappeared.

"Hey, Guide Master, why are you so down recently?"

"Not at all. I'm doing great!" Of course, Child-endowing Buddha could not say what Zhou Bao expected to hear. Thus, he said something which was the total opposite, "You really cannot imagine what my present feelings are like, right now!

"Seems that you have problems but cannot voice it out!" Zhou Bao heaved a sigh. His guard was up. After all, if someone was able to force Child-endowing Buddha, an Old Demon, to keep his mouth shut, this guy must be extremely powerful and crafty.

"You're really a pain, Child-endowing Buddha! Giving such evasive replies at this crucial time!"

"Enough, my business doesn't concern you, never mind. Don't ask more questions. This time my visit is concerning the matters about the Devil Tribulation and the pa.s.sageway of the Void Immortal Realm!"

"Don't mention the Devil Tribulation. I can do nothing about it. Now, the outside of Heaven Realm World is full of Fierce Owls. If I hadn't put the Yin and Yang Dust Formation there, our Heaven Realm World would have been flooded by these monsters already!" Zhou Bao paused for a second, then went on, "But you don't need to be too worried. Though the number of these Fierce Owls is insanely large, they're still far from shaking up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Moreover, recently lots of Fierce Owls died in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, and the Evil Qi and the b.l.o.o.d.y Qi inside flourished. The Yin and Yang Dust Formation transformed a portion of these Qi and infused it into its own structure, which rendered it a thorough killing formation. Even if the number of Fierce Owls increases a hundred times more, or they come with one or two Earthly Immortals, they have no chance to break my Yin and Yang Dust Formation!"

"Really?" This time, Child-endowing Buddha was totally stunned. "Are you sure even an Earthly Immortal cannot break your Yin and Yang Dust Formation?"

"Yes, I am. This Yin and Yang Dust Formation is originally a killing formation of antiquity times. It's a killing formation! How can it work when it lacked murderous intent! But when I cast it out in the past, though it was powerful, it never gained enough murderous intent because there was no target for it to murder. However, now with so many members of the Devil Tribe rus.h.i.+ng to be its dessert and pumping so much b.l.o.o.d.y Qi and Evil Qi in it, it can exude the deadly power it had in antiquity times!"

Zhou Bao and Fate Creation Boy had expected this result. But it never occurred to them that the actual effect would be that good. Right now, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation that enveloped Heaven Realm World was like a super Fierce Beast who had just woken up from its long nap and finally bared its teeth.

Its teeth were frighteningly sharp!

"In half a month, just half a month, as long as this situation continues, the murderous intent in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation will reach its full extent. When that time comes, even if a dozen Earthly Immortals were to launch their attacks simultaneously, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation will engulf them all!"

Thinking of Fate Creation Boy's thrilled expression when he had done the calculations, Zhou Bao could not help but smile. This was a convincing affirmation of the power of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

Killing a dozen Earthly Immortals was not the most amazing function this Yin and Yang Dust Formation had. As legend had it, this killing formation could trap Celestial Immortals and murder them. In fact, it had already achieved these. This Yin and Yang Dust Formation had various awe-inspiring types of reputation among the people.

"It's really the Yin and Yang Dust Formation! And the murderous intent in it has come into being! Very well! Very well!" Out of Heaven Realm World, two figures emerged quietly among all the Fierce Owls. But the Fierce Owls and other demons from the Devil Tribe in the surroundings did not pay any attention to these two. It was as if they were invisible.

"We should stop. If the members of the Devil Tribe keep advancing, they will just become the fodder for this formation. When this formation matures, it will be a huge problem for both you and me!"

"Well, are you scared?"

"Humph, Wild Wind, don't forget how Silver Moon Sage died back then. Didn't this killing formation gain its fame at the cost of Silver Moon Sage's life?"
