450 A Generous Contribution and Prison Escape
Translator:TransnIOL | Editor: TransnIOL /Transn
Standing before two Lords of Heaven, even Zhou Bao didn’t want to keep them in suspense, so he spat it out, “I wonder if you two Lords of Heaven ever heard of the term—Infinite Realms Teleportation?”
“Infinite Realms Teleportation?”
The expressions of Lord of Heaven Beicang and Lord of Heaven Luohua suddenly changed simultaneously. “Do you know the Great Way of Heavens and Realms?”
“How can it be?” Zhou Bao gave a bitter smile. “If I knew the Great Way of Heavens and Realms, I wouldn’t have been caught in this Dragon Abyss Prison. I just obtained the way of Infinite Realms Teleportation by chance. Well, this is also the reason why Rolling Dragon King has trapped me here.”
“Are you saying you’re going to take us out of the Dragon Abyss Prison with the Infinite Realms Teleportation?” Lord of Heaven Luohua said while looking at Zhou Bao with a smile.
“How could I have that ability? With my power, successfully teleporting ten people at a time would already be a hard enough job. I actually intend to pass on to all the Genuine Immortals here the way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation. Although it is is a marvelous and complex technique, I believe it shouldn’t be too hard for Genuine Immortals to get a hang of it. You two Lords of Heaven, what do you say about that?”
Lord of Heaven Beicang and Lord of Heaven Luohua’s countenances became undecipherable at the same time.
This was the Infinite Realms Teleportation!
Legends said it that this was one of the most important ways among the Great Ways of Heavens and Realms. Despite the fact that they could not acquire all of them if this one way was handed to a Powerful Divine, he would probably be able to deduce some of the wonders of the Great Way of Heavens and Realms. Thus, anyone would absolutely hide it up and keep it a secret to himself forever if he found it. How could Zhou Bao think about sharing this way with others, especially with so many people?
“Based on this guy’s assertion, he was confined in this Dragon Abyss Prison by The Rolling Dragon King because of this technique, wasn’t he?” The two Lords of Heaven thought while fixed their eyes on Zhou Bao’s face as if they wanted to see through him.
“You are willing to pass on a marvelous way like the Infinite Realms Teleportation to strangers, that is rather strange”
“I’m not, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been trapped in the Dragon Abyss Prison on the first place. However, after being here for so many years, I come around on this: compared to waiting for death trapped in this place while holding onto this technique, I’d rather pass it on and let more people learn it in order to escape!”
“Humph, if you truly knew this way, you would have escaped to the outside long ago, so why have you stayed in the Dragon Abyss Prison for so many years?” Yuan Xiucheng quizzed Zhou Bao, seeming that this suddenly occurred to him.
“Do you think the Infinite Realms Teleportation can be performed easily?” Zhou Bao snorted. “Even if you can understand it, if you don’t know the exact coordinates of the two spaces or can’t make them match with each other, you will get lost in the endless hollow. All these years trapped in here I’ve been trying to apprehend the Infinite Realms Teleportation while calculating the coordinates of the Dragon Abyss Prison and the present world according to the spatial fluctuation produced everytime someone enters or exits the Dragon Abyss Prison, and finally several days ago I was done with the calculations and making sure they are safe!”
“If so, you can just go out alone. Why do you need to pass the way to others?”
“How long have you been kept in here?” Instead of answering Yuan Xiucheng immediately, Zhou Bao threw another question back.
“Five hundred years. Why do you ask?”
“Five hundred years? Hehe, five hundred years. So, do you hate Rolling Dragon King?”
“I do! How could I not hate him?” Yuan Xiucheng said, his expression instantly turning furious. “But…”
“If you want something from someone else, you have to give them something first, isn’t that true? When you get out, will you seek revenge on the Rolling Dragon King?”
“Of course I will!”
“But can you achieve it?”
“I…” Facing that question, Yuan Xiucheng went stupefied on the spot. “Yeah, can I achieve that? Even if I get out one day, will I really go back to Rolling Dragon King and retaliate him? Do I have that strength? Is it possible for me to get revenge?”
“No, I can’t. I’m just a Three-tribulation True Immortal. Seeking revenge on a powerful bully like Rolling Dragon King is honestly just seeking death. In fact, not only will I give up avenging myself, but I’ll surely try to find a safe place and hide in it like a rat in its hole so that he can never find me again!”
Now, he finally realized the meaning of Zhou Bao’s words.
“You can’t get back on the Rolling Dragon King, because you do not have that ability, and even though I am stronger than you, neither can I. However, I am not the only one who has been captured in the Dragon Abyss Prison: there are a lot of prisoners here who are experts or Genuine Immortals, and each one of them holds a grudge against him. By throwing people inside this jail he has only increased his amount of enemies. When all of them get out, even if they can’t overturn the Rolling Dragon King, how many troubles do you think they can cause him? and if in order to accomplish that all I have to do is just share the way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation, I would gladly do it without a doubt!”
The three Immortals conversing with Zhou Bao fell into a deep silence.
“Truly brilliant plan!” After quite a while, Lord of Heaven Beicang finally spoke as he sighed with relief. “Really brilliant indeed! All you have to pay is the way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation, but you will get us all involved. This way, your revenge will be more likely to happen, and, what’s more, you will make all of us owe you a favor. Hehe, this senior, you truly did a brilliant calculation!”
“Owe me a favor? Hehe, why would I want you to owe me a favor?” Zhou Bao responded while faking a sigh, revealing a hint of misery in his tone. “I just want to leave this damn place and stir up more troubles for that bastard Rolling Dragon King. That’s all. I wonder if you two Lords of Heaven could help me make this wish of mine come true.”
“No problem!” Lord of Heaven Luohua laughed. “Being able to get out of here as well as learning the miraculous way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation; only idiots would say no to that!”
“Well, since both of you agreed on this, it couldn’t be better. However, before carrying out the deal, I have another small request!”
“Surely this is it!” The expression of the three altered slightly. They all thought: “This was too good to be true. How could he teach us this wonderful way for free! The words he just said are merely hollow words, and now he is going to ask for the true price!”
“My request is not really demanding: I just want those guys that were fighting here a moment ago!”
“Those guys? Do you mean those foreigners?” Yuan Xiucheng asked.
“Exactly, those guys!” Zhou Bao confirmed, nodding. “I know they have brought many troubles to you, but among them, there are disciples of the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple and the Divine Wind Palace. Years ago when I was traveling in the Seven-deity Regions, I developed some fellowship with both of these institutions, and the Infinite Realms Teleportation was also acquired from the Seven-deity Regions. Thus, now that those guys are in trouble, I can’t sit back and do nothing, so when the time comes, I’ll teleport those guys out of here. Do I have permission from you two Lords of Heaven for this?”
“Of course, out of question!” Hearing Zhou Bao’s request, the three sighed with relief. At first, they were worried that Zhou Bao might demand an exorbitant price. After all, he was able to rescue so many people trapped in the Dragon Abyss Prison and to share the Infinite Realms Teleportation to them, so no request would seem unreasonable. “From now on, we shall let those guys follow your lead. Senior, you may do whatever you want with them!”
This time, it was Lord of Heaven Luohua who answered Zhou Bao. He was the owner of Black Iron City, and even though he had protected Ji Yeyue and the others, it was only as a way to declare their extreme antagonism towards The Rolling Dragon King. He already had little interest in those who had not reached the Mysterious Realm yet, so now that there was an opportunity to get out of here, those guys became dispensable to him. Thus, he promised so without hesitation.
“That’s great. Then, you two, please gather all Genuine Immortals together so that I can teach the way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation to everyone!” Zhou Bao said, beaming with true generosity.
“Hehe, if that old dude in Netherworld Heaven ever learns that I’ve handed down the skill of Infinite Realms Teleportation to so many people, he will get so angry that he might even vomit blood!” Picturing the bitter face of that old man in his mind, Zhou Bao felt a sensation of joy streaming through heart.
Boom, boom, boom…
Thunderous rumbles started to sound from the bottom of the sea.
On that day, at the border of the territories of the two giants: Rolling Dragon King and Purple Dragon King, a tsunami burst out as deafening as thunder. Huge waves dashed to the skies, going as high as a thousand feet. Fierce roars spread from the seabed up to the sea surface one after another, sounding like claps of thunder.
These roars were infused with various emotions: fury, surprise, sorrow, ruefulness, and excitement…
All of them blended together, rendering this Sea Area a total chaos.
Yes, it was indeed a complete chaos!
In the Dragon Abyss Prison, there were more than 5,000 imprisoned Genuine Immortals, including four Lords of Heaven. Apart from Lord of Heaven Luohua and Lord of Heaven Beicang, the other two Lords of Heaven were more senior and had an even higher cultivation. In addition to this, there were 23 Five-tribulation True Immortals, 102 Four-tribulation True Immortals, and a total of 5,242 Genuine Immortals who had experienced three Tribulations or less.
In front of everyone, Zhou Bao passed on the way of the Infinite Realms Teleportation and the coordinates of the Dragon Abyss Prison and the present world without any reservation. One month later, those over 5,000 Genuine Immortals launched the Infinite Realms Teleportation simultaneously, carrying about 100,000 prisoners in the Dragon Abyss Prison back to the present world with themselves. Among those escaped prisoners, anyone, no matter what role he had played in the Dragon Abyss Prison, was a truly mortal enemy of The Rolling Dragon King. Once those guys got out, how could they stifle their resentment? They just couldn’t, that’s why as soon as they got out they started causing all kinds of troubles to him.
It was true that the Rolling Dragon King had deployed massive forces all around the Dragon Abyss Prison, but it was merely designed to just prevent those who tried to sneak into the Dragon Abyss Prison from finding the entrance to it, instead of preventing a prison breakout. Among those guards, the most powerful one was just a Two-tribulation True Immortal who had just ranked as a Venerable. How could those forces withstand the long-repressed wrath of those ferocious prisoners?
Before they could realize what had happened, those guards were already bombarded to dust by those infuriated prisoners. They did not even have a chance to run away.
After breaking out the Dragon Abyss Prison, the line of command that existed in the prison seemed to have also evaporated. While some prisoners started to freely slaughter in order to unleash the rage they had stacked up all those years imprisoned; some just quietly fled away, disappeared to nowhere; and others assembled together and discussed some unknown matters.
Obviously, those who assembled together were the most powerful portion of all the prisoners, including the four Lords of Heaven and six Genuine Immortals who had undergone four Tribulations or above. Crowding together, they seemed to be discussing something important.
However, none of this had anything to do with Zhou Bao.
