Chapter 1055: Giving Out Feathered Immortal Pill, If You Guys Are Not Worthy, No One Is
Meanwhile, on a certain ancient Living Planet, a furious roar reverberated through the air, and the terrifying energy of an Immortal’s Core blasted out, crushing all the other neighboring planets.
A man in golden robes wore a bitter look. He was none other than the true body of Heavenly Daoist Kun.
“Who are you?! Who the hell are you? Violet Gold Galaxy, Firmament Star, I’ll remember you! Just you wait! I, Heavenly Daoist Kun, will avenge the insult I received today!” Heavenly Daoist Kun said coldly.
As the Heavenly Daoist of Kun Bloodline in Heavenly Dao Sect, Heavenly Daoist Kun had never faced any hindrance in his path of cultivation. For many years, no matter where he went, everyone respected and revered him. Even the older generation of Immortals tend to be polite in front of him because he was a Heavenly Daoist of Heavenly Dao Sect!
He was one of the most outstanding sky-prides of this corner of the universe, and Heavenly Dao Sect was one of the strongest ancient immortal orthodoxies in the known universe.
However, his projection clone was sullied by a nameless cultivator in a tiny galaxy. Not only that, but the nameless cultivator even grabbed his clone and crashed through a dozen planets, ultimately forcing him to detonate his clone.
He could never let that insult slip.
He took a jade order and sent the message to his men, telling them to destroy Firmament Star of the Violet Gold Galaxy.
However, a moment later, he sent another order.
Firmament Star must be destroyed, but the cultivator who insulted him had to be captured alive.
“That person can absorb the Heavenly Dao energy from my clone. This kind of direct absorption ability has never been recorded even in the history of Heavenly Dao Sect. If I can master this ability, I might be able to exceed the other Heavenly Daoists of other bloodlines.”
A glint appeared in Heavenly Daoist Kun’s eyes.
…
Back at Firmament Star, Chu Kuangren’s return enlightened the whole Firmament Empire. All the Daoist Celestials cheered and held a feast to welcome the return of their King. The feast went on for three days and three nights.
After three days and three nights of endless fun, Chu Kuangren went to Gu Linglong and Elder Ruyan to get some updates on the empire’s development.
The Firmament Empire was a lot better and stronger compared to when he left. Although he may still be the only Immortal on the planet, the powerful potential of its Heavenly Dao has improved the environment for cultivation since then.
Young Emperors had been emerging one after another to write their achievements in the history of Firmament Star.
Chu Kuangren scanned the planet with his Immortal Consciousness, and more or less grasped the entirety of the planet’s situation.
There were many talented younger generations across the planet. Some of them could even be considered a rare Immortal Progeny.
He was delighted, to say the least.
“Thank you, Linglong. You must have been through a lot.”
Chu Kuangren said as he put his hand on Gu Linglong’s hands. He often felt guilty for not treating her well.
He had always been caught up in reaching the peak in cultivation, so he put Gu Linglong in charge of the whole empire by herself.
Sometimes, he felt it was a selfish request.
“My dear, it’s okay. You know my biggest dream is to build a peaceful empire, so watching the Firmament Empire grow stronger with our effort is really fulfilling and satisfying,” Gu Linglong said sincerely.
She was an ambitious and career-minded woman. Compared to being madly in love, she preferred to devote herself to building the empire.
“Is that so? That’s great.” Chu Kuangren smiled. Her consolation worked.
He hugged her tightly and whispered, “I love you to death.”
“My dear, it’s starting to get embarrassing.”
“I don’t care. I love you.”
“Ahem…”
Elder Ruyan had to clear his throat to remind them of her presence.
She rolled her eyes at them.
‘They should really get a room or wait until I’m gone.’
Gu Linglong blushed and glared at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was not bothered at all. He smiled at Elder Ruyan and said, “Elder Ruyan, it has been years since we last met. I see your cultivation level is progressing smoothly. Look! You are already a Daoist Celestial.”
“It’s nothing compared to you, my King.”
Some chit-chats later, Gu Linglong asked about Lan Yu and the others, so Chu Kuangren updated her on how they were doing.
Several days later, Chu Kuangren went to Gu Wuqing.
“Wuqing, about the herbs that I asked you to prepare, how are they coming along?”
“Master, they are ready.”
Back at Jade Emperor Galaxy, before Chu Kuangren started to absorb the energy of a star, he had told Gu Wuqing to search for ingredients to refine the Feathered Immortal Pill.
As of now, Gu Wuqing has made great progress.
After getting the ingredients, Chu Kuangren went to a lifeless planet just outside of Firmament Star for closed-door meditation. Only then did he start to refine the pills.
Feathered Immortal Pills were still Immortal Pills, and the energy fluctuation from the refinement process was quite powerful. As such, Chu Kuangren had even set up heavy restriction seals to contain them.
A month later, Chu Kuangren managed to refine all the materials into Feathered Immortal Pills with his skillful refinement techniques. He was able to refine a total of thirteen pills.
Thirteen Feathered Immortal Pills could reignite the cultivation ability of thirteen cultivators who had exhausted their potential and allowed them to reach new heights.
“Thirteen pills… I’m a little short,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Never mind the others, but the Chaos Daoist Celestial and Transcendental Daoist Celestial must get the pills because of their contribution to Firmament Star.
They, too, deserved the chance to seek new heights in their cultivation level.
Other than the mentioned, Chu Kuangren had several friends in the Violet Gold Galaxy who needed the opportunity.
“As for the herbs, I’ll settle them at Three Thousand Firms later. I have to give the pills to Chaos Daoist Celestial and the others first.”
Back at Firmament Star,when Chaos Daoist Celestial and the others got the pills in their hands and listened to Chu Kuangren’s explanation, their eyes widened in shock.
However, the shock was soon replaced with delight.
“Can the pill really reignite our cultivation potential and allow us to thread on the Immortal Path?” Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial asked excitedly.
“Why? You don’t believe me?” Chu Kuangren teased mischievously.
“Of course not. I’m very excited!” Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial exclaimed as he rubbed his head.
All the Daoist Celestials were excited except for Transcendental Daoist Celestial and Chaos Daoist Celestial.
The two of them stared at the pill on their palm.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Kuangren asked curiously.
“My King, it’s not easy refining these pills, right? The ingredients alone are a problem in itself. Rather than using these pills on us old men whose potential has been exhausted, why don’t you give them to the empire’s sky-prides who have bigger promises?” Transcendental Daoist Celestial said after taking a deep breath.
The others were shocked. They did not expect him to say something like that.
The Daoist Celestials looked at each other awkwardly and in silence. Then, they put the pills back into the vial.
“Transcendental is right. We are old men now. The pills should be given to the promising sky-prides, not us.”
“Yeah, they are the future of our empire.”
Why? Were they not longing to achieve a higher cultivation level?
No, they wanted to. However, when they put their personal benefit and the empire’s future on the scale, their decisions tended to tip toward the empire’s favor.
“Take them.” Chu Kuangren grunted. “I refined these for all of you. Those sky-prides will have their own opportunities, so they have no use for the pills now. As for the future, the empire will provide them with the appropriate resources as long as they are worthy.
“All of you here are the elders of the empire. Every one of you has bled for the empire and for your people. These pills are for you, and you deserve them. If you claim that you are not worthy, no one else is,” Chu Kuangren said sternly.
His words warmed the hearts of all the Daoist Celestials.
“That’s it. I’ve made it clear. Take the pills now, or I’ll feed them to the dogs,” Chu Kuangren said. He sounded slightly annoyed in the end and even slammed the table.
Since he had made himself clear, the Daoist Celestials quickly got up and took the pills back.
“Thank you, my King.”
“With the King by our side, we will never have to worry about the pills. I will take this now.”
Chu Kuangren nodded happily. “Now that’s what I’m talking about.”
