Chapter 81: Everyone’s Reaction, This Item Is Fated To Be Mine
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the Grand Conferral Ceremony, Chu Kuangren departed White Lotus School and headed towards the next sage orthodoxy.
Meanwhile, news of him becoming a White Lotus Bachelor Sage had spread throughout the whole Azure Dragon Domain within two days after Chu Kuangren left. It had startled many cultivators and orthodoxies.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
‘A few days ago Chu Kuangren had just become the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty’s Eldest Princess. How many days has it been since then? Why is he now a White Lotus Bachelor Sage as well?’
‘What the h*ll is going on?’
‘What in the world happened?’
Due to the quick turn of events, they were all confused and puzzled.
“Can anyone tell me what in the world is happening? How did that Chu Kuangren become a White Lotus Bachelor Sage as well?”
“Among the eight great sage orthodoxies within the Azure Dragon Domain, almost half of them are now giving him protection. By the gods, this is unprecedented indeed.”
“What has been happening these few days?”
“D*mn it, what kind of charm does this Chu Kuangren have on him? Why are all of these sage orthodoxies getting involved with him one by one?”
“Having three great sage orthodoxies to assure the safety of a young junior on his path to cultivation is just too much. Hey hey hey, he doesn’t need to show off with such extravagance!”
“I’m impressed. This guy truly is a peerless sky-pride!”
Whether it be the average cultivators, sky-prides, or even the other great sage orthodoxies within the Azure Dragon Domain, all were shocked by the news.
Besides that, some of the orthodoxies had suddenly come to realize as well, that seeing as three great sage orthodoxies were now protecting Chu Kuangren, they had basically formed an alliance with each other!
‘He is so young yet he has such great influence on the forces in the Azure Dragon Domain; imagine how powerful Chu Kuangren will be when he matures.’
Many orthodoxies were in a dazzled state for a while.
…
Within the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom.
When the current Sect Master of the Serene Wisdom Sect, Master Daoist Ling Hai heard the news, a hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes.
“That kid’s talent is incredibly astonishing. Now he even has the protection of three great sage orthodoxies, there truly is no stopping his eventual rise to power. If this person is not kept in check, the cultivators of my Serene Wisdom Sect will not have any fate to attain Emperor Realm then!”
Thinking about this, Master Daoist Ling Hai felt a sense of unwillingness and reluctance to accept that fact.
He then glanced toward a mountain range that was deep within the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom. “Perhaps it’s time to awake that person. The sky-pride from tens of thousands of years before!”
An Emperor Realm cultivator had not appeared for the past hundred and fifty thousand years. Yet during these hundred and fifty thousand years, there was no lack of Supreme Daoist Physique wielders among the scores of sky-prides as well.
This was due to how inaccessible the path to Dharma was back then, many sky-prides were reluctant to accept that they were not fated to reach the Emperor Realm and hence they sealed themselves off. While in a state of hibernation, they patiently waited for the opportunity to become an Emperor during the Era of great battles!
That was how one of these slumbering sky-prides came to be within the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom.
However, this sky-pride had not been woken up all this while. So now that a peerless talent like Chu Kuangren existed, there was a need for someone who would be able to compete toe to toe with him.
The slumbering sky-pride would be the best choice for that!
…
Within the Zhiyang Valley.
The Zhiyang Valley’s Lord stared at Lin Batian and sighed deeply. “Batian, are you sure you want to do this?”
A determined look could be seen in Lin Batian’s eyes. “Chu Kuangren is horrifyingly strong. There won’t be any hope for me to compete with him if I don’t do this.”
“Very well then. I wish you the very best!”
The Zhiyang Valley’s Lord sighed softly before he waved his arm, opening a portal into the void, where surges of flames with the color of the rainbows were burning within.
A terrifying wave of heat filled the realm between the sky and the earth.
Lin Batian glanced at that portal and walked into it with determination.
…
When all the great orthodoxies heard the news that three sage orthodoxies were now protecting Chu Kuangren, they more or less had the same sort of reaction.
However, Chu Kuangren was not a bit informed regarding all that was happening behind the scenes.
As of that time, he was on the journey towards the Taixu Temple.
Something worth noting was that the protectors behind his back had now increased from two to three.
Needless to say, the additional protector was provided by the School of White Lotus.
He could not help but lament that if he were to give the word, the three of them could even fight against the guardian deity of the land.
Atop the Fairy boat.
With his eyes closed, Chu Kuangren was deep in his thoughts as great amounts of cultivation techniques emerged within his mind. Most of them were sword techniques, while a small part of them was the School of White Lotus’s techniques.
One by one, he integrated all those methods with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique. It was clear that he had chosen the path to develop the Single Strike Technique.
Moreover, that choice he made was starting to take shape.
Now, all he needed was to further refine his understanding of the cultivation techniques and continue to incorporate those techniques into his Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
Perhaps one day in the future, that single technique of his could ascend into an Emperor Technique.
“Huh?” Chu Kuangren suddenly let out a reaction. He signaled Lan Yu to put the Fairy boat to a stop as he tried to sense a certain feeling within him.
The peculiar feeling he had during that time came from his Treasure Locating Skill, and because of this, he had a keen sense for valuable items and treasures around him.
Activating his Treasure Locating Skill, Chu Kuangren scanned through the area around him.
“Found it.”
Chu Kuangren pointed in a certain direction and steered the Fairy boat towards it.
Within some mountain range.
Two horrifying surges of energy were clashing against each other, in which every single swirl had enough energy to tear apart mountains and rivers.
All of these came from two experienced cultivators who had extremely powerful Daoist Rhymes and spiritual power flowing through their bodies. Yet because of those two men, the surrounding area was sent into a massive shockwave.
While at the center of their fight stood a mountain that had a very extraordinary light swirling atop of it. It was a very rare treasure, a type of Supreme Elixir.
Although their battle was intense, they were deliberately avoiding spreading any shockwaves from their fight towards the Supreme Elixir.
“Listen here old man, this piece of Sage Grade Supreme Elixir is mine,” said one of the cultivators who had jolts lightning surging around him.
It may not be as potent as a True Sage Grade, but the Sage Grade Supreme Elixir was truly better than most of the Honorable Grade Supreme Elixirs.
With a Supreme Elixir like that, he could then break through to the later stage of his Honorable Realm cultivation!
“Hmph, you think I’m just going to let you have this? In your dreams! Although the others fear your Thunder Falcon Tribe, me and my fellow Taixu Temple cultivators aren’t!” The one facing the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator was an old man in Daoist robes who had a whisk in his hands.
“No point saying anything more, so let’s fight!”
The two of them collided again. Both of them were in the middle stage of Honorable Realm cultivation and were quite evenly matched in skills as the fight went on for quite some time.
“Blood Lightning!” The Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable roared as the jolts of lightning around his body turned bloody red, sending violent streams of Daoist Rhymes everywhere.
That was one of the strongest secret techniques from the Thunder Falcon Tribe, and although it was powerful enough to kill enemies in the thousands, it would also affect its allies due to its range. Yet despite this, that technique could also increase the user’s power tremendously.
The Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator was able to quickly dominate the whisk-holding old man with that Blood Lightning Technique. Just a single blow was enough to push his opponent back hundreds of feet away, and since the old man was struck by that attack, the menacing blood lightning started to corrode the old man’s body.
However, the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator knew that the technique was not enough to finish off his opponent, but he could not use the Blood Lightning Technique for long as well as the side effects would be too great for him to handle then.
In the end, taking advantage while the whisk-holding old man was injured, he dispersed the Blood Lightning and rushed towards the top of that mountain to grab the Sage Grade Supreme Elixir. His eyes were filled with delight.
“This Supreme Elixir is mine!”
At that moment, a purple sword ray suddenly struck from the skies and the expression of the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator changed as he quickly dodged that attack.
The sword ray then landed on the ground with a boom. Immediately, a hundred yard long crack on the ground and the remaining sword Qi in the crack spread everywhere.
That level of attack was no less powerful than that of an Honorable Realm cultivator.
“Who is it!” The Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator’s expression was extremely grim. ‘Just when I have the chance to grab it, another guy appears! Where did this disruptor come from?’
A white-robed figure could be seen descending from the skies with a silver-haired lady. Paired together, both of them had exceedingly remarkable looks.
The one who came was none other than Chu Kuangren, who came with the help of his Treasure Locating Skill, and Lan Yu.
“Greetings fellow Daoist, sorry to interrupt. I notice that this Supreme Elixir is very extraordinary and rare. Seeing that I’m fated to get this item, I ask that you please kindly allow me to have it.”
Chu Kuangren smiled casually.
