Chapter 2190 Shang Honghua’s Weird Feeling, The Opportunities of Fortune in the Dragon Tombs, Let’s Go!
When the name of the human race's top Divine Bachelor was revealed, the various major forces of the human race were in an uproar, especially the Human Sanctuaries led by Monarchs.
Although they had recruited talented individuals from all over the Infiniverse, the first spot was taken by Chu Kuangren, a cultivator who did not belong to any of the Human Sanctuaries.
They were taken by surprise.
In the Heavenly Human Sanctuary, Lu Wuheng looked at the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard with a cold gaze. "This momentary glory won't last forever, Chu Kuangren. Let's see which one of us will be laughing then."
Below Chu Kuangren's name was Dao Lingtian who ranked second, Gu Chan who ranked third, and Feng Yuexue who ranked fourth. All of those people were his future opponents.
However, he had never heard of them before.
He snorted and ordered his men to investigate them.
Meanwhile, within the depths of the Heavenly Human Sanctuary, a veiled woman was brewing tea inside a bamboo hut.
The woman had a graceful figure. Although her face was covered by a veil, the faintly discernible allure radiating from her was enough to leave anyone in awe.
"Chu Kuangren… What an interesting person. Lu Wuheng, in this vast Infiniverse, talented people are everywhere. It seems like you've underestimated the people of this world," that woman murmured.
…
Inside the place of pleasure, Divine Bachelor Fengyue looked at Chu Kuangren's name on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard with a few beauties in his arms. His eyes lit up. "It looks like the boring days will be behind me soon."
As one of the top-tiered Prodigies of the human race in this era, Divine Bachelor Fengyue had always thought highly of himself, and it was the first time he was overshadowed by someone else.
He had a strong interest in the individuals ranked above him on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard, especially Chu Kuangren, the one who ranked first.
If possible, he even wanted to… eradicate all of them!
Only one person should be taking the spot of the best Divine Bachelor in this world, and that was him.
…
"Chu Kuangren. What a familiar name."
"I think he killed Gudu Bubai and Jue Jian."
Atop the mountain peak surrounded by sword qi, the Divine Sword Palace's true inheritor, Jian Shifang, looked ahead with a chilling sword intent and killing intent in his eyes. "Is his sword worthy enough for me to unsheathe mine?"
Although Chu Kuangren's position on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard was higher than his, it was just a Divine Bachelor Leaderboard.
A cultivator's strength was not the main factor for being ranked on it, and there were many other comprehensive factors involved.
Hence, those who ranked high might not necessarily be strong.
Jian Shifang was very confident that he was stronger!
…
In Myriad Arms City, Chu Kuangren's eyebrows twitched.
He suddenly felt that he had become the target of many people.
"More trouble might come now that the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard has appeared," Chu Kuangren thought.
However, he had never feared trouble.
He continued his closed-door meditation. With the buffs from being first on the Grand Dao and Divine Bachelor Leaderboards, he noticed that the speed of his cultivation progress had increased.
"At this rate, it won't take long before I fully comprehend the Heavenly-devouring Technique and the Holy Spirit Sword Art."
That was the main objective for his self-imposed isolation this time.
He wanted to master those two secret techniques. Besides that, he had also given half of the Apocalypse Martial Ruler's Monarch Heart to Armament Destruction. After all, his Blazing Flame Dao was quite similar to Carnage Dao, so he could use it to gain some benefits.
Chu Kuangren had decided to train and nurture Armament Destruction as the second elite cultivator of the Pan Gu Sect.
As for the other half of the Monarch's Heart, he kept it as he planned to comprehend it one day.
It could benefit him in terms of increasing his cultivation level.
In critical moments, he could even use it as he did with the Supreme Honorable's Heart to boost his power by force. In that aspect, it could be considered a good trump card.
Time did not matter in cultivation.
After an unknown number of years since Chu Kuangren's closed-door cultivation, on that very day, Shang Honghua was practicing her cultivation with her dragon spear in Myriad Arms City.
For the past few days, a weird feeling had been bugging her. The Twin Dragon's power inside her was constantly churning as if in response to something.
"Is something calling out to the dragons?" Shang Honghua thought.
She looked into the distance, feeling an urge to respond to that call.
However, she was a human.
Although she possessed the Twin Dragons' power, she was not a pure dragon. Hence, she did not act on the urge rashly.
Instead, she went to find a few other dragons in the Pan Gu Sect.
Among them, there was an elder dragon who was the strongest. Ever since joining the Pan Gu Sect and spending much effort in his cultivation, he was already in the Grand Dao Realm.
He was also the forefather of all dragons in the Pan Gu Universe.
His name was Elder Dragon Huang.
"That mysterious calling, huh? I've sensed it too. Even many of the dragons under me have sensed it, and I have dispatched a few Primordial-level dragons to investigate the situation," Elder Dragon Huang said.
"Even a human like me who possesses the power of dragons can sense it, let alone the other dragons. I bet every dragon in the Infiniverse will take action. There must be great treasures or Opportunities of Fortunate hidden there," Shang Honghua mumbled.
"Even if there are any treasures of that sort, it'll be hard to get our hands on them. There are so many dragons in the Infiniverse, and there's the Hongmeng Dragon Tribe too."
Elder Dragon Huang shook his head helplessly.
Although he was an Elder Dragon, he grew up in the Pan Gu Universe. Hence, he held no emotion or sentiment toward the Hongmeng Dragon Tribe.
He only joined the Pan Gu Sect because of his respect for Chu Kuangren.
"The Hongmeng Dragon Tribe, huh?"
Shang Honghua pondered for a while. Then, she held her dragon spear tightly and said, "Since we've come to the Great Hongmeng Universe, there's bound to be no peace if we want to stand at the peak of power. Even if we have to go against the heavens, the earth, the other forces, or even the Hongmeng dragons, I'd want to give it my best shot!"
Elder Dragon Huang was greatly startled to hear how determined she was.
He looked at the woman possessing the dragon's power before him and thought she saw Chu Kuangren. He could not help but laugh. "I heard the Sect Leader created the Black Heaven Nine Stars. You guys really do possess the same temperament as him."
"Haha! Thank you."
Shang Honghua took it as a compliment.
Trying to keep up with Chu Kuangren had been her lifelong goal, so being told she was similar to him was indeed a compliment to her.
"Sister Honghua, I believe you're right. Since the Opportunity of Fortune has been presented before us, how can we let it slip through our fingers? We might as well fight for it. Let's make a move when I receive news from the dragons I sent out to investigate the situation," said Elder Dragon Huang. He was eager to fight for that Opportunity of Fortune as well.
Soon, news from the dragons who went out to investigate returned.
Elder Dragon Huang's face turned serious after reading the intel. "No wonder every dragon out there has been sensing this. It looks like the Dragon Tombs have opened."
"The Dragon Tombs? What kind of place is it?" Shang Honghua asked curiously.
"I, too, only learned of this after exploring the Great Hongmeng Universe for a while. As the name implies, it's where dragons are buried and entombed! Apparently, when the powerful ancient dragons get a premonition of their death, they would follow this inexplicable feeling to go to the Dragon Tombs and await their death.
"Hence, many of the inheritances of these ancient dragons are hidden in the Dragon Tombs. It's said that the inheritances of Monarch-level dragons can also be found there. This place is so mysterious that even the current dragons can't find it."
"However, whenever the Great Hongmeng Universe opens and a new era starts, the Dragon Tombs will appear once, drawing many dragons to it. The lucky ones will obtain great treasures, while those who are not will only find that location as their tomb…" Elder Dragon Huang explained.
He looked excited. Although the Dragon Tombs was a place where many dragons were buried, it had turned into a location of great Opportunities of Fortune for dragons.
Shang Honghua pondered. "Since I have a dragon's power and can sense the Dragon Tombs, this means that the treasures there will also be of use to me."
"Should we go?" Elder Dragon Huang asked.
"Of course! Let's go!"
Shang Honghua nodded.
She knew that she was not as talented as others. Without any great Opportunities of Fortunate, she would stagnate in her cultivation forever, let alone try to catch up to Chu Kuangren.
Hence, she did not want to miss her chance of getting the Dragon Tomb's Opportunities of Fortune.
