Chapter 2405 Hun Meier's Persistence, Sparring With Armament Destruction, Hongmeng Spiritual Qi's Changes
The Pan Gu Sect had produced a number of Monarchs over the years as well.
The sect was blessed with an abundance of fortune energy, after all.
Mingyue Wuxia, Yu Shanling, and Armament Destruction were already Monarchs.
Lan Yu, Jue Wushen, Shang Honghua, and the other Black Heaven Nine Stars were Grand Dao Supreme Honorables, with Lan Yu being a Pseudo-Monarch.
The Three Clarities, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the other ancient beings were preparing for their Monarch ascension.
The latest Monarch would be Hun Meier.
She stayed in the Pan Gu Sect so that the Soul Tribe had a reason to work with the Pan Gu Sect.
Chu Kuangren did not restrict her, and to his surprise, she had become a Monarch already.
"Swoosh!"
A feminine figure appeared before Chu Kuangren.
The lady wore a black dress that revealed most of her chest. Her movements were alluring, and she emanated a powerful Monarch energy fluctuation.
It was Hun Meier, who had just ascended to the Monarch Realm.
"I'm here to thank you, Sect Leader."
Hun Meier moved closer to Chu Kuangren and bowed.
Chu Kuangren caught her aromatic scent and said expressionlessly, "Oh? Why are you thanking me? You're the one who ascended to the Monarch Realm.
"Of course, I have to thank you. I managed to ascend to the Monarch Realm because of the Immortal Island's spiritual qi, and it was all because you agreed to let me stay, Sect Leader. I don't know how to repay you for that," Hun Meier explained.
Now that she was a Monarch, she acted even more feminine and alluring. She even emanated a prestigious nobility that men would love to challenge.
However, Chu Kuangren was unfazed. "You just need to do what you're supposed to do. Don't think about things you can't get, and that's the best way to thank me."
Upon hearing that, Hun Meier's eyes glimmered. She feigned a sobbing tone and said, "Sect Leader, is your heart made of stone? Can't you understand my feelings for you?"
"Keep it to yourself."
Just as Chu Kuangren wanted to leave, Hun Meier appeared before him in a flash, stopping him from leaving. She continued, "I don't mind being the consort. Are you really not going to give me the chance? Or is there anything you're not happy with me? I can change for you!"
"You're the princess of the Soul Tribe and now a Monarch. You're undoubtedly one of the best. I do like one thing about you. Do you know what it is?"
Hun Meier's eyes gleamed. "What is it?"
"I like you… to stay away from me!"
Chu Kuangren then disappeared in a flash.
With his capabilities, even if Hun Meier was a Monarch, there was no way she could catch up with him, let alone stop him.
"What a stubborn and cold-hearted man." Hun Meier stroked her hair and said in a sulky tone.
The harder it was for her to acquire him, the more she was interested in him.
Hun Meier was obsessed with Chu Kuangren.
In the past few thousand years in Pan Gu Sect, Hun Meier realized her affection for Chu Kuangren had increased instead of lessened.
She thought by ascending into the Monarch Realm, Chu Kuangren would look at her differently, and it might elevate their relationship. Now, it seemed like it was a one-sided thought.
"Sect Leader, you have underestimated the persistence of a Soul Tribe lady. Once a lady of a Soul Tribe has their eyes on someone, she will never give up so easily. Even if I have to be a dog, I will want to be with you!" Hun Meier giggled.
…
"Hun Meier is really persistent."
Chu Kuangren shook his head.
The Soul Tribe and Pan Gu Sect had grown closer over the years, and Hun Meier had not done anything that crossed the lines, so he allowed her to stay in the Pan Gu Sect as a hostage or whatever.
"Buzz!"
Another person appeared before Chu Kuangren — it was Armament Destruction, who was already a Monarch. He looked at Chu Kuangren calmly, with the Broken Arm in his hand, surrounded by a scorching aura.
Chu Kuangren knew exactly why he was here.
"Old place?"
"Old place."
The two of them appeared in a valley on Immortal Island.
The valley was covered with slash marks, and a scorching aura filled the air as if it were a battlefield where millions had died.
"Come on." Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign.
Armament Destruction swung his weapon forward.
Ever since Amament Destruction ascended to Monarch, he would spar with Chu Kuangren from time to time as training to master the Monarch's energy.
Their spar shook the valley violently.
The energy fluctuation of a Monarch swept over everything.
Many people in the Pan Gu Sect knew what was going on as soon as they sensed it.
"How many moves do you think Armament Destruction can take this time?"
"The last time was thirty moves. This time, maybe thirty-five."
"Yeah, that sounds like it."
Everyone was trying to guess how many moves Armament Destruction would last before Chu Kuangren defeated him.
The spar continued fiercely in the valley. Armament Destruction did not hold back. Those who knew less might think he was fighting his arch-enemy.
However, Armament Destruction knew that even if he gave it his best, he could not even hurt Chu Kuangren. Despite his grievance, it was a fact that he could not change.
Soon, the spar ended with Chu Kuangren's victory.
"Fifty-seven this time. You've improved a lot." Chu Kuangren was surprised.
The last spar ended with only thirty moves, and this time, he took nearly twice the number.
"You never used your full strength. How many moves I can take depends on how much you think I can take," Armament Destruction said. He was not exactly happy with the result.
He knew if Chu Kuangren went all out on him, he might not even be able to take three moves.
"Haha! You think too little of yourself." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"I sensed Luo Hou a while ago. He's already a Monarch, like me," Armament Destruction said.
"Oh? Interesting."
"Don't you go after him. He's mine," Armament Destruction said.
He had fought Luo Hou more than he had sparred with Chu Kuangren. Luo Hou had become his rival of some sort.
"I got it."
While they were chatting, the spiritual qi in the sky suddenly grew restless.
"A new leaderboard is appearing?" Chu Kuangren looked up in the sky.
More than a dozen leaderboards had been revealed over the years.
There was the Divine Beast Leaderboard, Supreme Weapon Leaderboard, Longevity Leaderboard, Pill Leaderboard, Cultivation Technique Leaderboard, and more. Chu Kuangren managed to get his name on most of the leaderboards and ranked first for a majority of them.
Due to the leaderboards, Chu Kuangren and the Pan Gu Sect's reputation skyrocketed. What followed was the increase of fortune energy.
"Oh, this isn't a leaderboard." Chu Kuangren noticed something strange.
The Hongmeng spiritual qi was massive this time — far stronger than any leaderboard appearance.
When all the sentient beings in the Great Hongmeng Universe sensed the rumbling spiritual qi, they all looked up into the sky in awe.
"What's going on?"
"What leaderboard is it this time? Why is it gathering so much Hongmeng spiritual qi? This is more spiritual qi than all the others combined in the past."
"No, wait. This isn't a leaderboard!"
"Look at that!"
