Chapter 371: That Damned Whale

“That’s to say, it’s pretty easy for me to control the Golden Book of Fate?”
“Yes, but you still have to be careful!” Green Spirit said, “After all, you stirred up some big trouble this time. More than 270,000 living creatures in the Azure Secret Area passed Thunder Tribulation at one go. When the Essential Qi Tide is over, those who enter the secret area are bound to be aware of it. By then if you’ve got the projection of the Golden Book of Fate in your hands, regardless of whether other people tell or not, those in the Immortal Palace who know you’ve been to Azure Secret Area can naturally guess it’s you!”
“You’re right! There are not so many fools in the world, all are quick-witted. Those who knew I have entered the Azure Secret Area, and can come and go freely in the Essential Qi Tide, can also guess that I did it!” Zhou Bao said to himself. It was obvious that even fools could guess. In his previous life, police cases were based on evidence, but in this world, evidence was a joke.
There was no need for evidence for such a great event that could determine the direction of the whole world. One guess was enough to kill a man.
Zhou Bao did not want to take the risk.
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“Don’t let them out!” After thinking for a moment, Green Spirit answered with a helpless smile. “You can only ask them not to come out now. But whether they listen to you is another matter!”
“I have just mastered the Origin of the Great Ways, and the evil beasts and living creatures are so powerful that I may not be able to suppress them!” After pondering, Zhou Bao said, “These creatures have all passed Divine Tribulations and become Genuine Immortals and listed as immortals. But I can tell their strength from their Original Spirits in the Origin of the Great Ways. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Thunder Tribulation here was just generated, the strongest living creatures might have gone through nine Thunder Tribulations at one go and have got the Karmic Rank of Human Immortal. If I can convince them, this thing should be easy!”
“Good idea, but it’s not easy to do it!” Hearing Zhou Bao’s words, Green Spirit immediately forced a smile. “You know, you might have mastered the Origin of the Great Ways and their Original Spirits, but the Origin of the Great Ways isn’t complete yet. The Thunder Tribulation occurred so suddenly too. You may have the power to clamp down on the weaker monsters, but you may not be able to deal with the strongest!”
At this point, he chuckled. “It is said that the Golden Book of Fate is able to clamp down on all living creatures in the world and to make them immortals. However, from ancient times to the present, no one was willing to put their lives in the hands of others, even the Origin of the Great Ways. It has been so many years now, and those necromancers have been working on it and came up with a lot of effective ways to get rid of the Golden Book of Fate. The most important one is the Outer-body Incarnation Skill. My true body was once the Body of True Immortality, but after getting out of the three realms, a bit of my Original Spirit was sealed in the Golden Book of Fate. How could I reconcile myself to that? This was why I made an Outer-body Incarnation to place my Second Primordial Spirit and hope to get rid of the control of the Golden Book of Fate. Unexpectedly, I was sealed in the Small Thunder Temple for hundreds of thousands of years. But also thanks to it, my Original Spirit and the green lamp became one. Then the Original Spirit destroyed my relationship with my true body, and I no longer had to be controlled by the Golden Book of Fate. I thought I would be free from then on, but I can’t believe that I failed in the end because of you. It seems I still have to figure out a way to make an incarnation again!”
He talked about his incarnation again, which Zhou Bao can’t help but give a bitter smile. “Do you mean that some of these living creatures were able to get away with incarnations just like you?”
“I’m not sure about the rest, but the strongest ones are for sure. Heehee, if I’m right, among these Original Spirits, there must be a whale in the Azure Spirit Sea, right?”
Zhou Bao closed his eyes slightly and opened it a few seconds later. “Yes, there is a whale!” He glanced at Green Spirit with surprise. “You know him?”
“Of course I know him!” Green Spirit replied, “In the past, the Azure Heaven was under the control of our Demonic Emperor, Azure Heavens. The real powerful living creatures were his subordinates. I know several others besides the asshole whale. But after all these years, you caused this scene suddenly, they’ll definitely not be in a good mood. It’s hard for you to ask them for help!”
“You should have a way?”
“Yes, the whale is the key to this matter. But the whale is greedy and unpredictable, and always acts on mood. He was only obedient to the Emperor of the Azure Heaven in those years. It’s really hard to convince him!”
“No matter what, I have to try! It’s great that you are acquaintances!” Zhou Bao thought for a while and said, “This is a very serious matter. At worst, I’ll try to get his Original Spirit back from the Origin of the Great Ways and ask him to help me. He should be willing to!”
“Hehe, I told you, your incomplete Origin of the Great Ways can’t control that asshole. With such an odd temper, he is really difficult to get along with!” Green Spirit said with a faint voice, “Or you can release my Original Spirit, then I’ll put in a good word for you!”
“Good, but I can’t control the Origin of the Great Ways now, so the promise is just a lip-service. However, provided you help me with this, I will definitely put your Original Spirit out when the time comes. What do you think of it?”
“That’s good!” Green Spirit nodded with satisfaction. It could be said that he knew Zhou Bao well. From what he knew, Zhou Bao was someone who would not make empty promises and could accept whatever that happens to him. For example, even though Zhou Bao knew that Green Spirit will not be controlled by him anymore once he has a new body, he still found him a perfect one without hesitation. Whatever happened this time around was an accident. As long as he was powerful enough, he would once again help him out of the bondage of the Golden Book of Fate.
Their relationship was not intimate yet but there was solid trust between them. Thus, Green Spirit agreed when he heard Zhou Bao’s promise.
“After all, that whale and I are old acquaintances, and I know that son of a bitch, so I should be able to make it!”
Having figured it out, Green Spirit became easygoing. The accident brought him and Zhou Bao together again. From then on, they shared a common destiny.
Judging from Green Spirit’s tone, he seemed to be able to settle the matter. Zhou Bao smiled reassuringly. “Then we shouldn’t wait any further. Let’s go and meet your old friend!”
“One more thing!” Green Spirit did not move but stared at Zhou Bao. “What happened to your purple divine thought? And why the sudden evolution of thunderbolt in this world?”
“I have no idea either!” Zhou Bao answered with a helpless shrug. The purple divine thought flew out between his eyebrows and floated in front of Green Spirit. “What I practiced was the Carefree Skill. It was unintentionally touched by a strange purple thunderbolt. I’m young and inexperienced, so I really don’t know what it was. I never thought that it would lead to this event in the Azure Secret Area.”
“A purple thunderbolt?” As he listened to Zhou Bao’s detailed description of the scene, Green Spirit’s face became dull. Then he looked at the amethystine divine thought again. The divine thought moved and approached Green Spirit, as if it had sensed his interest.
“Oh my god!” Green Spirit screamed, and drew back in a row, nearly exiting the green light of the Air-frozen Bead. “Put it away! I don’t have the fortune to enjoy it. Also, when we get to the old whale later, don’t let it out. It’s a deadly thing. If he asks why there was a sudden Thunder Tribulation in the Azure Secret Area, just say that you don’t know, it was just you seeing things.”
“You know its origin?” Seeing Green Spirit’s reaction, Zhou Bao naturally understood his mind, so he asked hurriedly.
“I just know it’s an awful thing!” Green Spirit smiled bitterly. “It is a thing that a lot of people want. The real Purplecloud Thunder!”
Purplecloud Thunder?
Zhou Bao was a little stunned. It was a very imposing name, but Green Spirit’s expression and manner made him afraid to go on. Anyway, he already knew the name, so it would not be difficult to know its origin in the future.
Now was the time when the Essential Qi Tide surged most violently, especially in the Azure Spirit Sea. The waves already rolled up over 10,000 feet, and the fierce pneuma could easily tear all existence with cultivation below the Realm of True Immortality. Even a Genuine Immortal was unable to last long in this crazy Essential Qi Tide storm. However, with Air-frozen Bead, along with Zhou Bao’s mastering of the Origin of the Great Ways of the world, they were quite adept.
Within a short time, they flew hundreds of thousands of kilometers over the Azure Spirit Sea. Zhou Bao followed Green Spirit, and looked at him as he flew and searched for something.
“Found him! This bastard, after all these years, is still stubborn and foolish!” He said exaltedly while stopping at a sea surface of the Azure Spirit Sea.
“Indeed!” Standing on the sea surface, Zhou Bao looked at the sea surface not far away. His face could not help but twitch. No wonder Green Spirit said so certainly that he could easily find him in the Azure Spirit Sea. He was right. On the surface of the sea, nearing two kilometers away, there was a visible island. And the look of the island made him really speechless, extremely speechless.
“What, is it?” He turned to Green Spirit and asked.
“It’s what you think it is!” Green Spirit also smiled bitterly.
“Are you kidding?”
“Yes, boy, that’s what the whale likes to do!” Green Spirit pattered Zhou Bao and said in a helpless tone, “Well, now that we’ve found his nest, stop admiring it and let’s go down!” He pulled Zhou Bao down to the sea as he spoke.
