Chapter 204: Murong Xuan’s Call For Help, Onwards To The Murong Clan, The Illusive Mirage
“Nine Piece Daoist Talisman, Supreme Honorable Foundation Level!”
Every cultivator from the School of White Lotus was dumbfounded.
One should know that ever since the past hundred and fifty thousand years, no one has managed to solidify a Supreme Honorable Foundation Level at all!
It was not a problem of a rarity anymore.
There was no one else who could do it!
“This is where the Supreme Elder is staying at right?”
“Yes, it is. Other than him, do you think anyone else can solidify a Supreme Honorable Foundation Level? Obviously, there’s none. There’s no one else who can do it except him.”
“I recall that the Supreme Elder has also managed to build up several other Supreme Foundation Levels in the past right? By the gods, is he going to revolt against the heavens now!”
“The Supreme Elder’s foundation levels are truly frightening.”
Even the White Lotus School’s Sage was secretly stunned. After all, she had witnessed something that no one had been able to do for hundreds of thousands of years before her very eyes.
“Besides one’s spiritual energy, building up an Honorable Foundation Level also requires a great understanding of Daoism as well. However, the latter of the two is more crucial in achieving that very feat.”
“Then again, Chu Kuangren’s understanding in Daoism is already on par with a Sage, so it’s quite logical that he’s able to build up a Foundation Level like this.”
The White Lotus School’s Sage murmured.
One could only say that Chu Kuangren was just too overpowered of a person.
The vision of transformations in the air soon disappeared.
Inside a room.
Chu Kuangren was sitting on a mat as swirls of golden light and countless Daoist patterns flowed and intertwined around his body. The surface of his body had a golden jade-like color to it.
The Six Supreme Foundation Levels within his body radiated with brilliant light, and between surges of spiritual power, there seemed to be reverberations of mysterious Daoist Rhymes.
Slowly opening his eyes, a smile appeared on Chu Kuangren’s face. “Supreme Honorable Foundation Level, I guess I succeeded huh!”
He could feel that his current strength and power greatly exceeded his previous state. Be it spiritual energy or understanding in Daoism, there were tremendous improvements.
He was now confident to take on and even defeat a Boundary Sage without using his sword formations or Emperor Technique!
For a Sage, however…
‘Since I’ve never fought one before, it’s better not to make any bold remarks.’
Although he might not win against one, he certainly would not lose as well!
However, that sounded too unimaginable because to many cultivators, everyone below the level of a Sage was basically minuscule ants.
The power difference between a Sage and those below a Sage was just that big.
Chu Kuangren had just reached the Honorable Realm, yet he was already confident that his strength would be on par with a Sage?
One could only imagine the uproar when word of that spread.
With that, Chu Kuangren got up and went out of his room.
Besides Lan Yu who had been standing guard for him all this time, there was also a crowd of cultivators outside who were attracted by the Honorable Foundation Level conjuration in the air.
At that moment, everyone looked at Chu Kuangren with great admiration.
Even the few Bachelor Sages who were eager to fight him in the past were completely impressed and no longer had any hard feelings against him.
The gap between them was just too big. Chu Kuangren was not even on the same level as them.
Once the gap widened to a certain extent, everyone’s original envy and jealousy would most probably transform into a fanatical admiration instead!
“Congratulations for reaching the Honorable Realm, Brother Chu.”
The White Lotus School’s Sage said as she approached.
“It’s all thanks to the Opportunity of Fortune.”
Chu Kuangren replied.
Following that, Chu Kuangen and Lan Yu continued to stay in the Full Moon Kingdom for the next few days.
Just when they were preparing to return to the Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren received a sudden message from Elder Ruyan.
It was a call for help from Daoist Murong Xuan to the sect!
Upon hearing that, a chilly glint flashed past Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
“Did the Murong clan take my warning as a joke?”
Chu Kuangren had given a warning to Murong Feng when Murong Xuan was leaving the sect. Even so, it still seemed that Murong Xuan had encountered some unpleasant treatment back at the Murong clan that even a proud Daoist like him resorted to asking the sect for help.
“First things first, contact Murong Xuan and ask him clearly what happened.”
/strong>
“We can’t contact him. We’ve tried contacting Murong Xuan after receiving the message for help, but there’s been no response from him at all. I’m afraid that Murong Xuan is now being held captive by the Murong clan.”
Elder Ruyan’s heavy voice could be heard from the communication compass.
At that, the chill within Chu Kuangren’s eyes intensified.
“How daring of the Murong clan!”
“Looks like I’ll have to pay them a visit then!”
As a Daoist of the Black Heaven Sect, Murong Xuan was also his junior brother and a little fan of him. Be it public or private concerns, Chu Kuangren could not sit back and watch while something like was happening.
“Sect Leader, the Murong clan is still a sage orthodoxy. With a Sage on their side, it’s just too risky for you to go there alone.”
“Why don’t we let the Third Forefather go have a few words with them first.”
Elder Ruyan suggested.
“Murong Xuan is my junior brother no matter what. Now that he’s wronged by the Murong clan, I can’t just sit by and do nothing. ”
“I’m fine with negotiating, but a beating is what they deserve first!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure not to go overboard.”
Elder Ruyan could not help but feel a sense of helplessness from Chu Kuangren’s reply.
However, after thinking about it, she felt that Chu Kuangren’s words made sense too.
Although Murong Xuan was a member of the Murong clan, he had been a Daoist for the Black Heaven Sect for so many years. If he really did suffer some unfair treatment at the Murong clan, blindly giving in would make the Black Heaven Sect look weak.
“Alright, that’s settled then. I shall go there right now.”
Chu Kuangren ended his call with Elder Ruyan.
After that, he then set off on a journey towards the Murong clan.
Since the Murong clan was located in the Black Warrior Domain, which was a far journey from the School of White Lotus where Chu Kuangren currently was, it would take days to reach there even with a Fairy boat.
Chu Kuangren was standing against the wind atop the Fairy boat.
A hint of worry appeared within his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by rage. “I hope you people of the Murong clan better not go too far.”
Once he calmed his thoughts, Chu Kuangren opened the Fantasy Roulette to obtain his daily gacha.
“Congratulations Host, you have obtained a Starlight Grade item – Exquisite Counterfeit of The Illusive Mirage”
Illusive Mirage?
An exquisite counterfeit as well?
Chu Kuangren was very confused. ‘What the h*ck is this?’
However, since it was a Starlight Grade item, Chu Kuangren opened his inventory curiously to see what that Illusive Mirage was.
“This is…”
His eyes lit up uncontrollably.
Within a grid in his inventory was a large black ship that was covered with ancient golden patterns.
“I didn’t expect the Illusive Mirage to be a Fairy boat.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up with excitement again.
“Retrieve the item, Illusive Mirage!”
Chu Kuangren commanded his thoughts.
Suddenly, a huge and black Fairy boat appeared in the sea of clouds beside them. That Fairy boat was so big, like a great ancient beast!
Compared to the Illusive Mirage, the Fairy boat that Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu were on was like a tiny toy boat. It was insignificant in comparison.
The Illusive Mirage was mainly black as a dark luster emanated from it under the sun’s rays. On its deck, rows of buildings and towers of different shapes stood upright. There were also fancy gardens, hills, and even ecology of rare animals aboard as well.
How could that even be a Fairy boat?
It was technically a floating palace!
“This is only an exquisite counterfeit as well. If that’s the case, what will the real deal even look like?” Chu Kuangren remarked with surprise.
Even Lan Yu beside him had her mouth slightly in shock.
“Lan Yu, let’s change rides,” Chu Kuangren said as he kept the tiny Fairy boat and went aboard the Illusive Mirage.
The moment he went on board the Illusive Mirage, a mysterious feeling immediately flooded Chu Kuangren, as if he had just merged with the gigantic floating palace as one.
He immediately understood the Illusive Mirage’s controls and its information on the spot.
“Let’s begin our journey!”
Chu Kuangren commanded in his mind.
Streams of golden light soon lit up the patterns on the Illusive Mirage’s surface and as if a slumbering ancient beast had awakened, a roar was heard.
Then, surges of spiritual energy gathered at the Illusive Mirage’s aft, forming two gigantic vortexes which instantly erupted into a terrifying thrust.
The Illusive Mirage shot away towards its destination, leaving behind the tumbling sea of clouds that formed two huge white marks.
