Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws-Novel

Chapter 114: The Fate of An Era Changes When Chu Kuangren Returns!

Terrifying waves of Daoist Rhymes came from the Towering Heaven Palace.

Within the Black Heaven Blade Mountain, the howls of a thousand swords reverberated and burst into the sky as if they were celebrating the return of their god.

All the disciples were shocked.

The new disciples did not understand why the older ones were looking towards the Towering Heaven Palace with a burning excitement on their faces

Whoosh...

At that moment, beams of light soared through the sky one by one.

“It’s the mark of the True Disciple!”

“No, no, no. It’s not just the True Disciple. There’s also the mark of the Daoist.”

“My goodness, isn’t that the Sect Leader?”

The Black Heaven Sect was shaken.

The True Disciple, the Daoist, and even the Sect Leader? All the elders were thoroughly shocked as they flew towards the Towering Heaven Palace.

Seeing all of this unfold, the new disciples were at a loss.

“What on earth is happening?”

One of them was skeptical.

Beside him, a disciple who was several decades older smiled. “Our Senior Elder Brother has returned from his closed-door meditation.”

The new disciple was curious. “You mean the legendary Chu Kuangren?”

“Indeed.”

“That can’t be it. Even if Chu Kuangren is our Senior Elder Brother, why is there such a huge fuss over him returning from his closed-door meditation?”

“Ah, you will understand in due time.” The older disciple smiled.

“This won’t do! I must witness our Senior Elder Brother’s return!”

One of the female disciples could not hold back any longer.

With that, the remaining female disciples began to flock to the Towering Heaven Palace. Most of them were just excited and ecstatic.

“I’m so happy! Our Senior Elder Brother has finally come back!”

“Three long years! One day without seeing him already feels like three months, let alone three years! I’ve finally managed to wait for him to return.”

“Waa, I’m coming, Senior Elder Brother!”

“We can finally see our Senior Elder Brother’s handsomeness again.”

Some disciples shared a look as they watched the female disciples go crazy. It was unfathomable to them. Was Chu Kuangren that alluring?

In the meantime, Honorable Xuan Qi, Elder Ruyan, and the other elders had rushed into the Towering Heaven Palace.

Behind them was a crowd of disciples and Daoists.

Everyone could not help but feel surprised at the surge of Daoist Rhymes that came from the Towering Heaven Palace. Honorable Xuan Qi was especially taken aback.

“This level of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme is beyond even me!” Honorable Xuan Qi’s words shocked the disciples behind him.

Honorable Xuan Qi used to be part of an unparalleled duo alongside the Honorable Swordsman White Cloud. They were known as the Azure Dragon’s Dual Blades, and the two stood unrivaled in the Azure Dragon Domain!

After Honorable Swordsman White Cloud passed on, Honorable Xuan Qi remained the best in terms of sword Dao and none would dare refute.

Yet somehow, he said that Chu Kuangren’s Sword-based Daoist Rhyme exceeded his?

“As expected of our Elder Senior Brother.”

Nangong Huang’s face lit up in admiration.

The other disciples looked at each other. When they thought of the fact that he was their Elder Senior Brother, it no longer seemed like much of a surprise.

Their Elder Senior Brother had done so many outrageous things back in the day, so what was so surprising about him overtaking the Sect Leader in terms of sword Dao?

The Daoist Rhyme continued to linger in the sky for a while.

Soon, a door opened from one of the rooms inside the Daoist Palace, and a white-robed young man waltzed out.

His slender figure remained in a white robe that was untouched by dirt. A jade crown rested on his head of black hair that stopped at his waist; his eyes shone like ethereal stars.

“Master!”

Lan Yu and Lil Bing greeted him excitedly.

In the sky, the crowd of True Disciples rushed over when they saw him. The other disciples soon followed suit, screaming excitedly in unison.

“Congratulations on your return, Elder Senior Brother!”

“Congratulations on your return, Elder Senior Brother!”

The new disciples could not help but be enamored and puzzled upon seeing Chu Kuangren.

How could someone’s face be so charming?

So much so that the Black Heaven Sect’s Sect Leader and elders placed such importance on him?

Not even Honorable Xuan Qi had this prestige.

...

From within the Daoist Palace, Chu Kuangren waved to the crowd in the sky, smiling. “It’s been a while, my Junior Brothers and Sisters.”

Honorable Xuan Qi stepped forth and scolded him between chuckles. “You rascal! You’ve been in closed-door meditation for three long years! Do you know just how much you’ve missed in the last three years? People have forgotten about you!”

Chu Kuangren let out a carefree smile. “No matter, I’ll make them remember when the time comes.”

“So, what have you gained in the last three years?” Honorable Xuan Qi refused to believe that he would be in a closed-door meditation for three years for no reason.

“Well, quite a bit.” Chu Kuangren smiled and nodded. A three-year closed-door meditation was, frankly, unexpected even for him.

The Eternal Emperor Scripture was far too mystical. He immediately immersed himself into gaining its insights, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

However, the rewards were immense.

The first manifestation was on his level of Dao techniques. Although he had not yet fully comprehended the Eternal Emperor Scripture, his level of Dao technique had made a substantial breakthrough — one that went far beyond what he was before his closed-door meditation.

He believed that he could get the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique to an Emperor level with just a little more time.

For now, his biggest achievement was the Single Strike Technique.

“I believe that ‘quite a bit’ isn’t the full extent of your gains, is it?” Honorable Xuan Qi understood him well.

It was impossible for the words ‘quite a bit’ to justify a three-year closed-door meditation. Just the Daoist Rhyme from earlier alone sent chills down his spine.

Still, Chu Kuangren was his disciple, and the stronger he became, the more accomplished he felt. At that, he left the topic be.

Chu Kuangren reminisced with the crowd the moment he came back.

Within the Towering Heaven Palace, Chu Kuangren, Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, and others gathered to discuss the latest events.

Chu Kuangren also took the chance to understand what was happening in the world.

Of course, much had changed during his three-year closed-door meditation. Nowadays, various sky-prides would engage in glorious and thrilling battles.

“The Firmament Star changed greatly when the forty-nine pieces Primordial Emperor’s Essence appeared. Such a event caused the ascension of thirty-eight Young Emperors, and one of the most brilliant Young Emperors comes from the Overlord Sage Tribe in the Black Warrior Domain. He alone holds three essences, making him the most likely sky-pride to become an Emperor!”

“Besides the thirty-eight Young Emperors, there are some who did not obtain the Emperor’s Essence but have the power and talents that shocked even the ancient sky-prides. Some of them are part of the top ten famous people...”

Nangong Huang spoke calmly.

“I see. What about the older generation of powerhouses? Did they not want the Primordial Emperor’s Essence?” Chu Kuangren was curious.

“They were. There was an Honorable Sage that fought for the essence, but he was killed by a sage.” Nangong Huang’s voice trembled slightly.

To them, Honorable Sages were the strongest beings in existence, but to a sage, they were nothing more than insignificant ants beneath their feet.

“The sages seemed to have some sort of agreement in which cultivators above the level of Honorable Sage are not allowed to fight for the Emperor Essence. I heard from the Sect Leader that the key to becoming an Emperor does not lie in the body of a sage.” Murong Xuan frowned as he spoke.

He still did not understand the meaning of those words.

Chu Kuangren thought about the knowledge he was exposed to when he gained insights into the Eternal Emperor’s Scripture. At that, he now fully understood the concepts of Daoism and the world; he had even vaguely encountered certain secrets that only sages would see.

Essentially, the fate one seeks does not lie within the body of a sage. Instead, it lies within the body of the new generation of sky-prides. If anyone were to become an Emperor in this era, it would be these sky-prides.

Perhaps that was the reason that sages do not fight for the Emperor’s Essence because even if they obtained it, they would never ascend to Emperorhood.

The fate of an Emperor was never with them.
