Chapter 708: An Unexpected Encounter on the Remote Red Star

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Infinite Star Sea, Remote Red Star!

Wearing a cyan robe, Zhou Bao was sitting quietly by the window of a small tavern. Here, he was not Zhou Bao, but Jia Qingping. This was the third time he had entered the Infinite Star Sea, using the identity of Jia Qingping once again.

At present, this identity he assumed was pretty famous in the entire Infinite Star Sea. Everyone knew that this Jia Qingping was a prodigy, an Individual Immortal of Rank Two. Even some Elders in the Jia Family were very interested in him, intending to recruit him as a disciple.

But Jia Huaiyu was not keen on this, so the whole thing was giving him a real headache. He announced that Jia Qingping had left the Remote Red Star and was traveling in the Infinite Star Sea and his return date was unknown.

This was the perfect excuse for a prodigy.

Although the Infinite Star Sea did not contain any macro world, it included numerous galaxies and vast planets. The essence of the world there might not be as abundant as that in a macro world, but there were myriads of curious creatures and objects hiding in seclusion. Thus, no matter how capable a practitioner was, he could not explore the entire area in one go. Accordingly, many young practitioners chose to travel around once their cultivation had reached a certain degree, and they could take care of themselves. They would experience new things and see different views, and some of them might try out the Divine Fate in the hope of having some amazing adventure or unexpected encounter to take their cultivation up a notch. Of course, there were high risks involved. Potential dangers were everywhere in the Infinite Star Sea. When those practitioners traveled through planets, they would have to face dangerous situations continuously. And the survival ratio was not very high.

Therefore, for every practitioner, traveling around was very much like a double-edged sword.

Soon after Zhou Bao arrived in the Infinite Star Sea, he contacted the Divine Design Store to ask about the present state of the Infinite Star Sea. Then, he declined the invitation of Black Turtle and took off.

With the help of Fate Creation Boy, the strength of Venerable Black Turtle had broken through the Venerable Realm and reached the Lord of Heaven Realm. Although he was only a Six-tribulation Lord of Heaven, he was very satisfied. Adding to that, Venerable Black Turtle knew Zhou Bao had helped Fate Creation Boy acquire the two parts of the Fairy Weapon of Fate and he treated Zhou Bao so well that his attitude was definitely unlike the demeanor of a Lord of Heaven.

Zhou Bao, feeling a bit overwhelmed by his over enthusiastic welcome, left the Divine Design Store, feeling as if he had just escaped from jail. Then, the first place he traveled to was the Remote Red Star.

But after staying on the Remote Red Star for one day, Zhou Bao started getting bored. The situation in the Infinite Star Sea was quite simple. After he made a scene here last time, the disturbance continued in the Infinite Star Sea for a while but soon quieted down. No more change occurred until the willpower of the Immortal Realm descended.

When the willpower of the Immortal Realm descended, the first batch of practitioners who crept into the Immortal Realm were those from the Infinite Star Sea. After all, the Infinite Star Sea was the only Star Area that had a Transmitting Formation leading to the Immortal Realm.

After obtaining the accurate location of the Immortal Realm, the 14 macro worlds jointly repaired a Transmitting Formation leading to Heaven Realm World and sneaked in. They familiarized themselves with the level of practitioners in Heaven Realm World in a short spell. However, Heaven Realm was not easy to defeat at all. The moment they spotted those alien practitioners, they activated all sorts of anti-invasion means. With the exception of the first batch who returned safe and sound, almost all the other alien practitioners who had stayed in Heaven Realm had to go into hiding. It was hard for them to find an opportunity to leave Heaven Realm World. Even if they did, they were unable to use the Transmitting Formation. Instead, they had to break the endless space-time on the periphery of Heaven Realm World and return to their respective macro worlds or Star Areas by riding a Highest Heaven Celestial Device in the hollow. That would take a lot of time.

However, this did not cool the zeal of those people from the Infinite Star Sea and the 14 macro worlds; they were dying to enter Heaven Realm World. In the eyes of those people, Heaven Realm World had an incredible amount of rich resources and a huge number of Genuine Immortals and Individual Immortals, much like what it was during antiquity times.

Although the pneuma in Heaven Realm World had been depleted more severely than in many other macro worlds, there were still many treasures in the endless space-time on the outskirts of the region. A lot of sects in Heaven Realm World had lost their heritage or merely obtained their own heritage. But for those from the Alien Realm, many of their sects originated from Heaven Realm World, and many of them were even formed by the amalgamation of several sects. Thus, they knew much more about the secrets of those sects than the sects in Heaven Realm World. To them, the endless space-time of Heaven Realm World was a treasure house. Accordingly, entering Heaven Realm World meant they had a chance to gain some wonderful benefits and enable their cultivation to skyrocket.

For this reason, the queue to enter Heaven Realm World was already quite long. But not everyone was able to get in. Apart from those who were willing to spend some pneuma to ride a Highest Heaven Celestial Device and fly directly across the Desolate Ancient Star Area from the Infinite Star Sea to the destination, a majority of those chose to use the Transmitting Formation.

Nevertheless, the Transmitting Formation was not something you could use limitlessly. It not only cost Spiritual Stones, but also could not function too frequently. Even if you had countless Spiritual Stones, if it had been used too many times, your tracks would be detected by Heaven Realm World. You would then have to destroy the two-way Transmitting Formation that you went through a lot of trouble to build up secretly, which would be a devastating loss.

Now, some planets in the Infinite Star Sea were packed with practitioners anxious to enter Heaven Realm World, especially those near the Transmitting Formation.

The Remote Red Star was just a small and desolate planet. But due to the impact of this adventuring enthusiasm, the number of practitioners on this planet also increased, much more than when Zhou Bao first visited this planet over 10 years ago.

When Zhou Bao arrived at Remote Red Star, he did not go to Jia Huaiyu, because what he needed was just an identity.

There were several big cities on the Remote Red Star. The one where Zhou Bao stayed now was called Sea-watching City, the only one adjacent the sea and frequented by practitioners. Zhou Bao found the environment here to be quite pleasant, so he decided to spend a few days in this Sea-watching City.

The purpose of this journey to the Infinite Star Sea was to kill the Primordial Demon.

But he did not dare to act recklessly. No matter if the Primordial Demon was tricky to handle or not, Zhou Bao did not want to antagonize him yet.

Now Zhou Bao was in a pickle, a bit at a loss.

It had been ages since he came to this strange world. His strength and status were growing steadily. His speaking rights was expanding increasingly, but now. he could not figure out where his future lay.

Looking back at his growing process, in the beginning when he was quite weak, he used to struggle for survival, striving to grow his power. But when he had gone through that stage, he started getting busy, running about for many inexplicable matters, one of them being the Fate Creator competition of Heaven Realm. Initially he had nothing to do with the competition, but owing to the favor that Fate Creation Boy had done for him, he had to stick up for Fate Creation Boy. Now, even Sea Emperor was involved, forcing him to come to this Infinite Star Sea to kill a Primordial Demon. But he did not give a da*n about this Primordial Demon!

He was helpless!

Now that the whole thing had come to this point, the only thing he could do was to heave a huge sigh.

“Since I left the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode, I seem to have become a bit arrogant, showing off too much. But this time, I have to lie low when handling this matter of the Primordial Demon. Yes, low-key, must remember that!” Zhou Bao muttered in his mind. Seeing how this matter had started with Fate Creator, then leading to Sea Emperor, and now pointing to the Primordial Demon, deep down, Zhou Bao felt he had become more and more involved in this. He felt his future was heading dangerously towards an unknown realm. He did not like this feeling or the unknown realm.

Therefore, he decided to lie low this time, to hide behind the scenes instead of rushing to the place where the Primordial Demon was suppressed and killing him straight away.

If this matter was really that simple to settle, he would not have been so worried.

“Alas!”

Sitting by the window, Zhou Bao let out a sigh, took a sip of the alcohol, scooped up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth. He felt that his brain was an utter mess, his strands of thoughts as disordered as the crowds coming and going in an endless flow, outside the window.

“Hello brother, greetings!”

As Zhou Bao heaved a sigh, a voice fluttered to his ears, trying to strike up a conversation with him. This was from a man who had been observing Zhou Bao for a while, which Zhou Bao was aware of. But he did not bother about him, for this man was merely a practitioner who had just stepped into the Mysterious Realm. However, it did not occur to him that this man would come over to start a conversation.

Looking up, he saw a middle-aged man with a seemingly honest face, then he cupped his hands in respect and said, “Greetings, brother, have a seat!”

The man did not refuse. He threw himself into the empty seat opposite Zhou Bao and said, “As I observed, you are scowling and sighing in despair. You must have met some difficulties, right?”

Zhou Bao squinted, his face revealing a trace of a forced smile. “Well, brother, please do not laugh at me. I do have some problems and I’m racking my brains to figure out a solution!”

“Oh? Problems?” The man said with a smile. “You and I are both practitioners. The only type of problems we encounter should only be the difficulties in developing our strength and cultivation. The rest does not matter. Brother, you are quite young, but your cultivation is extremely profound. Thus, you are not worrying about your cultivation. If that’s the case, what else is worth your concern? You will cross the bridge when you get to it. Stop wasting your energy on whatever you are thinking!”

“Brother, you do have a point!” Zhou Bao was using the identity of Jia Qingping, so he did not hide his cultivation on purpose. He merely lowered the rank that he was demonstrating to the public to Rank Two of the Individual Immortal Realm, which was just a bit higher than this man. And that was why this man dared to strike up a conversation with him. If Zhou Bao hid his cultivation completely and pretended to be an ordinary guy, or fully revealed his cultivation and gave off an overbearing sense of power, this man would not have come near him at all.

“I am Jia Qingping, a man living on this Remote Red Star. What is your noble name?”

“Noble name or not, my surname is Jin, and my given name is Yao, I am from the Cumulus Star!”

“Cumulus Star?” Zhou Bao was a little taken aback. What a coincidence! This Cumulus Star was one of the few vast planets Zhou Bao had visited in the Infinite Star Sea, which was a widely known Trading Star.

“Cumulus Star is not near this place at all. I wonder why Brother Jin is traveling all this way here for?”

“Just for a private affair!” Jin Yao gave a mysterious smile but did not elaborate. Zhou Bao did not mind this. He also gave a smile, and his anxious expression faded a bit. He did not ask more questions and started drinking the alcohol.
