Chapter 1008 Sword Qi-Defeated Slumbering Sword Ocean, Superior Clarity Spiritual Scripture
A powerful violet sword ray was heading towards the Slumbering Sword Ocean.
It was so powerful that the sword pressure enveloped the entire sect, striking fear into many saber cultivators’ hearts.
Several figures came out from the sect, and they were none other than the Saber Immortal of Slumbering Sword Ocean.
As they looked at the incoming sword ray, there was a grim look on their faces.
“The sword intents in the sword qi is no weaker than the Sword Crown, and the energy that it emanates… It’s the Thousand Lotus Sword Intents!”
“Who sent this?!
For a moment there, everyone thought of a single name — Chu Kuangren!
In the current Planquilon Immortal World, other than the Sword Crown, the other one who knew the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent was Chu Kuangren.
That thought heightened their concerns.
“Let’s put that aside for now. We must stop this sword ray first,” the man in the black robes said.
Then, he gripped the hilt of his saber at his waist, and a tremendous saber intent gushed out.
“Slash!”
The unsheathed saber unleashed a dragon-shaped surge of saber qi towards the incoming violet sword ray with lightning speed.
The moment the sword ray and saber qi collided, the void exploded. However, the sword ray’s momentum remained as it continued forward without slowing down. “What?!”
The Saber Immortals were stupefied.
The other Saber Immortals wanted to make their moves, but it was too late. The sword ray had arrived and struck the center of Slumbering Sword Ocean.
Along with a loud explosion,sword ray flashed, and countless Daoist patterns swirled around. The light and patterns then converged into a giant violet lotus. The violet lotus shrouded more than half of the Slumbering Sword Ocean, and it started to splinter into countless more sword qi that further expanded its coverage.
The land crumbled, and mountains shook.
The entire Slumbering Sword Ocean fell into panic. All the saber cultivators within tried to dodge the incoming sword qi with their lives, but quite a number of them died. Those who survived either lost limbs or suffered severe injuries.
The entire Slumbering Sword Ocean became a living hell for those there.
Then, a majestic voice came from the sword qi.
“Seven days later, I will visit the Slumbering Sword Ocean.”
It was Chu Kuangren’s voice, and it left all the saber cultivators in fear.
“It’s Chu Kuangren! This sword qi is really from him!”
“This is a challenge invitation!”
“He’s challenging the entire Slumbering Sword Ocean!”
Deep inside Slumbering Sword Ocean, a massive saber intent dispersed the sword qi. The Saber Crown stared further away in the distance as he mumbled, “Chu Kuangren, so you’re the best in Sword Dao!”
Everyone else gasped at his words. His meaning was obvious. Chu Kuangren was better than the Sword Crown!
It seemed impossible because he has yet to become an Immortal.
A while later, the news of Chu Kuangren challenging the entire Slumbering Sword Ocean spread like wildfire, and every corner of Planquilon Immortal World knew about it.
It shook the entire Planquilon Immortal World, including the hearts of the swordsmen.
“The Saber Crown said Chu Kuangren is the top of the Sword Dao! It seems like he’s beyond the Sword Crown! If he can defeat the Saber Crown, the swordsmanship world will definitely make a comeback!”
“Chu Kuangren! The world’s swordsmen are counting on you!”
“We cannot miss this fight!”
All the immortal orthodoxies did not want to miss this fight either. They wanted to seize this chance to learn a little more about Chu Kuangren’s true strength.
Some of them even wanted to take advantage of the fight to achieve their own goal.
To them, Chu Kuangren had too many secrets that they might be able to take advantage of.
The Immortals of Holy Divine Fire Cult got together, talking about the fight. “Chu Kuangren has killed our Divine Bachelors, and that makes him a nemesis to our sect. His battle with the Saber Crown might be a chance for us.”
“I agree. If we can utilize this chance to find out about the secret of the Phoenix’s Fire from him, it will be a huge help.”
“We cannot miss this fight.”
Meanwhile, in the Holy City, the Spear Crown, who was also the Holy City Ruler, took a glance at the maroon spear before his eyes, which flashed with a cold glare.
“Chu Kuangren, you killed my disciple. Do you think I’ll let you off just like that?
“So what if you have the academy on your side? The dean retired many years ago and is no longer interested in worldly affairs. Do you think you are safe with the academy’s protection?
“This fight is a chance, and maybe… those guys are starting to grow restless as well.” He gripped the Bloodlust Spear tightly, and a sharp screech from the spear echoed in the sky. The screen contained a cold killing intent within.
On an island surrounded by dragon qi, several dragon shadows were gathered.
“Chu Kuangren is going to fight the Saber Crown. This is a great chance for us to find out his true strength. He’s not a Fated One, but he’s an anomaly who might be a great threat to us in the future. We have to be cautious against him.”
“That’s right. He even has the Cloud Nine Insignia. If we want to have a union with Sycamore Mountain, the guqin will be a great advantage for us. We have to get it from him. And the Dragon-binding Lasso, it’s made from a pure-blooded True Dragon’s tendon. I don’t think I need to state how great of a benefit it will bring us.”
“Not only that, but Chu Kuangren got all the Opportunities of Fortunes in Penglai Island and several top-tier Immortal Weapons. He’s like a walking treasure vault. I heard the other immortal orthodoxies are preparing to strike from the dark.”
“Hm, send a few men over then. Aside from all the Opportunities of Fortune, we must get our hands on the Cloud Nine Insignia.”
A while later, several True Dragons flew away from Divine Dragon Island.
Meanwhile, in a dazzling palace located in the clouds, a ball of golden sparks ferried a Yokai’s figure within.
“Interesting. Not yet an Immortal, and he has already offended so many immortal orthodoxies at once, huh? Now he’s challenging the Saber Crown? He’s bold enough to look death in the eye.”
A scoff came out from the sparks.
“Speaking of which, I sent the Golden Crow Guardians to invite him back, but I never heard back. Come to think of it, the guardians I sent were killed. There are only a few in this world bold enough to reject the Honorable Yokai Court’s invitation.”
“Chu Kuangren is indeed an audacious one.”
The sparks then went silent for a while.
After that, a streak of golden light flew out from it, followed by the arrival of several Golden Crow Guardians.
Each of them was the best Immortals among the Golden Crow Guardian.
“Head to Slumbering Sword Ocean. Keep an eye on the fight and wait for the chance to strike. If it’s possible, I want him alive. If not, dead is fine too. We must get the Azure Phoenix Mirror back at all cost.”
The Golden Crow Guardians looked serious. “Aye.”
Once the guardians left, the Yokai figure within the sparks mumbled to itself.
“The Jade Pool Immortal Scripture must be involved anyhow. I wonder if Chu Kuangren cultivated the Immortal Scripture.”
All the immortal orthodoxies made their move secretly. While being in the eye of the storm, Chu Kuangren remained carefree.
The challenge was getting closer, but he continued to teach, garden, relax, and enjoy the scenery in the academy like a retired elderly.
It seemed like everything in the outside world, which started because of him, did not affect him at all.
One day, as Chu Kuangren was sitting at a mountain peak, a mystical set of techniques appeared in his mind.
It was the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture!
That was the name of the item he got from Penglai Island, and other from creating his own source energy, it was his biggest gain.
In fact, it was the Jie Set Ruler’s inheritance — a complete set of Immortal’s Scriptures!
He had been studying the wonders of the scripture for quite some time now, and it had benefited him greatly.
Now, with Jade Pool Immortal’s Scripture and Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture, the source energy within him continued to grow stronger.
He believed that he would soon be able to master the Self-empowerment and Invincible Source and become an Immortal!
