Chu Kuangren had wiped out five orthodoxies in quick succession. After removing the seal, he has showcased an extrely incredible combat strength, one which shocked the entire Firmant Star.
Now, he was crowned with the title of the best in the world, not as a sky-pride but as a cultivator!!
Chu Kuangren was truly at the peak of his fa.
anwhile, back at the ruins of Acheron Manor.
A black-clad figure arrived and stood there silently. It was a graceful lady who wore a golden mask and a long black robe.
She also had a puff of black mist following behind her. As if it was a living thing, the black mist would make certain noises occasionally.
“He annihilated Acheron Manor with a single palm technique. D*mn, this Chu Kuangren is truly a monster.” The black-robed lady glanced at what remained at the scene and mumbled.
She did a search for a while within the ruins. “Man, how poor is Acheron Manor? I can’t even find anything valuable here, and they dare call themselves a top-notch orthodoxy? Or were all the goodies destroyed by that palm?!”
“Forget it. I’ll just look for that one thing.”
The black-robed lady continued scouring through the pile of debris.
By utilizing her special senses, she arrived before the shattered sarcophagus, where she uncovered a bizarre, black stone tablet. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
“I’ve found it!”
The black-robed lady stared at the stone tablet in front of her with various emotions in her gaze. “After missing for so many years, this thing has finally returned to its rightful owner.”
Just when she was about to lift this stone tablet away…
“This is a token of my victory.”
An indifferent voice rang out.
She did not know when another figure had appeared beside her.
That person standing on top of the stone tablet had white robes and long black hair that complented his peerless looks.
The black-robed lady’s pupils narrowed when she saw him. She imdiately leaped backward and braced herself vigilantly. “Chu Kuangren…”
She knew that things were about to go south really soon.
She stood no chance in taking away sothing that belonged to Chu Kuangren.
“Growl…”
The black mist behind the black-robed lady let out a hostile grumble. It expanded in size by several folds and extended a sharp claw towards Chu Kuangren.
“Doggo, stay put.” The black-robed lady chided gently.
“Woo…”
The black mist being yelped innocently.
“Oh, a demonic realm being.”
Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation activated, scanning the lady and black mist ahead, analyzing their information in full.
“Underworld demonic wolf, Sage Ruler cultivation level…”
“Zhan Hongying, Ashura Tribe Princess, Sage cultivation level…”
She was Zhan Hongying, the sky-pride ranked second on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.
“Tell everything you know about this stone tablet.” Chu Kuangren demanded calmly while standing on the stone tablet.
“If I tell you, will you let have this stone tablet?”
Zhan Hongying asked.
“Sure, but you’ll have to fight for it.”
Zhan Hongying was delighted to hear the first word of his sentence. However, the rest of his sentence completely crushed her hopes of obtaining it.
Fight Chu Kuangren for it?
What a joke.
She did not need to be a genius to know that she was not Chu Kuangren’s match. One palm attack from him, and she would surely be half dead.
“Brother Chu, this stone tablet is important not just for , but for all beings in this realm because this item is closely related to the Underworld Demonic Realm!!”
“Oh, mind elaborating further?”
“During the past ancient tis, the Underworld Demonic Realm had a mass invasion into Firmant Star. Then, an Emperor showed up and singlehandedly purged all demonic beings back to their own realm. This Emperor also used a one-of-a-kind technique to craft ninety-nine Acheron Steles, sealing all passages that connect the Underworld Demonic Realm to the Firmant Star…”
Chu Kuangren listened intently as Zhan Hongying explained the chronicle to him. There were no changes in his expressions, so it was hard to tell if he bought that.
“You’re telling that this tablet right here is an Acheron Stele?”
“That’s right. Ninety-nine Acheron Steles will form the Great Acheron Formation, which obstructs the Underworld Demonic Realm’s passage. And this is the most important piece of all the steles, the Acheron Formation Core. It’s an item that the Ashura Tribe has been safeguarding for generations. But many years ago, the Great Acheron Formation experienced a violent quake, and soone seized the opportunity to steal this stele away. Things only changed recently when Acheron Manor revealed itself to the realm, and we managed to confirm the location of this stele through the Eye of Acheron that they cultivate.”
“Now, do you mind giving it back to , Brother Chu?”
Zhan Hongying asked.
Chu Kuangren pondered deeply after hearing her side of the story and only replied after a long while. “You can have this steal back, but you’ll have to wait until I’ve finished studying it. Then, you can co and get it from .”
He did not fully believe her story. After all, this Acheron Stele contained a powerful Emperor Aura, and the marks and symbols on it looked extrely unique. It was as though it contained profound runic wisdom and even so sort of Empyrean insights.
This was a remarkably valuable treasure.
He could not let go of such a precious treasure just because of a few words from Zhan Hongying. This was clearly not sothing that he would do.
The only chance of him doing sothing so dumb was if he had a brain seizure.
“In recent years, the Underworld Demonic Realm has been looking for opportunities to seep into our world. I reckon they are prepared to break through the seals at any mont now. If I don’t take back the Acheron Stele, a great demonic army would surely attack us within ten years.”
“Ten years? Who said I needed that much ti?”
Chu Kuangren replied nonchalantly.
Did she think that he would require ten years to gain complete insights into a piece of stele?
Even ten days was too much for a person of his caliber.
Knowing that she had failed to convince Chu Kuangren, Zhan Hongying beca lost for words.
“If there’s nothing else, we will bid our farewells.”
Chu Kuangren deposited the stele into his Yin and Yang Ring.
“Boohoo…”
The black mist behind Zhan Hongying cried out twice.
“Idiot. What was I supposed to do? Now that the Acheron Stele has fallen into that guy’s hand, who the hell in this world can take it back from him if he doesn’t give it up voluntarily?” Zhan Hongying responded rather agitatedly.
“Ahhh, this is so annoying!!”
Zhan Hongying pulled on her hair and lanted. “Let go and fight soone to vent my frustrations. I wonder if Xiao Jingchen has perished with the rest of them at Heavenly Golden Palace. Otherwise, I can only look for Wang Tianteng.”
…
Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren was planning to gain insights into that unique stele when he returned to the Black Heaven Sect. However, Elder Ruyan and White-Robed General suddenly ca knocking on his door.
“What has happened?”
Chu Kuangren frowned upon noticing the solemn looks on both their faces.
“Sect Leader, I’m afraid sothing has happened to Shang Qingxue.”
“What?”
“Yes. We’ve been trying to reach her for the past few days, but she has not responded at all,” Elder Ruyan explained.
“I plan to go out and look for her.”
White-Robed General said.
“Let help you guys with that.”
Once Chu Kuangren finished speaking, an enormous spiritual thought spread outward from the Black Heaven Sect and covered the entire Firmant Star.
Besides so true forbidden grounds, images of all the other places erged and flashed past his mind like a slideshow.
Still, he could not locate Shang Qingxue’s whereabouts.
There were only two explanations for this.
The first was that Shang Qingxue was no longer on the Firmant Star.
Of course, the possibility of this was extrely slim.
This made Chu Kuangren more inclined towards the second reason, which was that Shang Qingxue had entered so kind of spatial secret realm, or that soone had hidden her.
“Where was the last place you had contact with Shang Qingxue?”
Chu Kuangren inquired.
“It was at the Nebula Prefecture, a territory of Parchpri Palace.”
Elder Ruyan said.
“Oh, Parchpri Palace. This na sounds familiar.” Chu Kuangren suddenly took out a letter and continued, “Isn’t Liu Yiqing, that person who infiltrated Black Heaven Sect, from Parchpri Palace? I initially wanted to head there and demand compensation, but I didn’t expect to have my hands full, so I haven’t dealt with them yet.”
“Seems that it’s about ti I make a trip there.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled to himself.
