Chapter 1070: A Proverb, The Fight of The Heavenly Champions, It Has Never Changed Since The Ancient Times
Inside a certain grand and massive golden palace, on top of a massive ancient tree was a ball of ember.
The ball of ember had a pair of wings behind it, and there were shadows of three legs at its bottom. A terrifying Yokai qi emanated from within it.
Then, a golden ball of light flew into the ember.
“Huh? Another will of the Immortal World? Am I the chosen Heavenly Champion?”
The ball of ember sounded delighted.
Then, the ember died off, revealing a young man in golden emperor robes with a shocked look on his face.
“What did I just see? Did the will of the Immortal World record it? He’s so powerful. He has killed three Fated Ones in just one attack and killed so many Earthen Immortals!” the young man exclaimed.
He thought he was invincible among the younger generations. Not even the late Golden Dragon Young Master was his match.
However, Chu Kuangren’s appearance shattered his dream.
“If this man is alive, I, as a Fated One, cannot rest in peace. Before I become the Heavenly Champion, I must figure out a way to deal with this person,” the man muttered.
“Golden Crow Guardian!” he shouted.
Several Golden Crow Guardians walked out of the void.
“Your Highness.”
“I want eyes on Chu Kuangren’s every move. Inform me right away when you spot anything,” Jin Diyi said.
“Aye.”
After giving out the order, Jin Diyi looked at the will of the Immortal World in his hand. “I must first refine the will of the Immortal World. It will increase my chances against Chu Kuangren when I have to face him in the future.”
Despite saying so, when he recalled the scene where Chu Kuangren controlled the life and death of those he killed, he could not help but frown. The power Chu Kuangren possessed was ridiculous, and it had far exceeded the ranks of sky-prides.
…
Back at Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren finally brought Lan Yu and the girls back.
His return delighted the students of the academy as they surrounded him with cheers, greeting him happily.
Chu Kuangren smiled happily, which made him look warm and lively.
His lively side captivated the hearts of many female students.
There was a ranking list for the teachers in Hundred Academy ranked not by strength but by popularity among the students.
Chu Kuangren was in the first place, and his polls far exceed that of the second place.
His unique teaching methods, his all-rounded knowledge of all aspects, and his handsome and outstanding looks granted him high popularity in Hundred Academy. His records were unprecedented.
No students would ever miss his class.
“I’ll arrange a lecture in a few days. Those who want to attend are welcome to do so, and I look forward to seeing you,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
The students were over the moon when they heard him.
“I’ll definitely attend Master Chu’s lecture!”
“Of course, I’ll go!”
“Don’t snatch my place at the front!”
After the overwhelming welcome from the students, Chu Kuangren arrived at his place.
At the entrance, the Dean was already waiting for him.
The Dean took a glance and sensed him with his Immortal Consciousness. The result surprised him so much that he gasped.
“You’ve ascended to a Third-grade or closer to a Middle Third-grade Earthen Immortal so fast. An anomaly indeed.”
“Sir.” Chu Kuangren greeted the Dean with a fist salute.
“Brother Chu, it has been years since our last meeting, and you’re still as graceful as ever,” the Dean said with a smile.
“You are too kind, Dean.”
The two went inside and talked. Chu Kuangren even mentioned what he saw and experienced in the Storm Belt.
“Another world, eh?”
The Dean went quiet for a moment before he remembered something. He widened his eyes in shock as he quickly searched his Yin and Yang Ring for a jade scroll.
“What is this?” Chu Kuangren was curious.
“Brother Chu, I believe you know that I specialize in Deductive Dao. I actually inherited this deduction technique from a senior who was once a well-known figure here in Planquilon World. People called him the Iron Mouth.
“However, when he was deducting something, he suffered repulsion. Before he passed, he left behind a proverb. This jade scroll contains the proverb he wrote,” the Dean said with a serious look on his face.
Curious, Chu Kuangren took the jade scroll upon hearing the story. He activated his Immortal’s Core energy, and quickly enough, several lines of words appeared on the jade scroll.
“The Battle of Destiny, when the seven light converges arrives the Heavenly Champion!”
“When the worlds converge, the Battle of the Heavenly Champions shall give birth to the Immortal World Ruler!”
The words piqued Chu Kuangren’s interest. “Interesting. The first half of the proverb happens to align with the Battle of Destiny, but the second half is even more interesting.”
Judging from its literal meaning, it was not that difficult to decipher.
The second half meant the convergence of many other worlds and that the Heavenly Champions of the respective worlds would have to compete over the position of the Immortal World Ruler.
“The Storm Belt is the boundary of Planquilon Immortal World. Should the worlds converge, the Storm Belt would be the first. Maybe this is the reason for the unusual happenings occurring in the Storm Belt over the years. The worlds are converging!” the Dean said with a deep sigh, his eyes showing a hint of shock.
“The worlds here should refer to the fragments of the original Immortal World that happened in the ancient times. Now, the Fragmented Immortal Worlds are converging to reform their complete form.
“So many years have passed, and each Fragmented Immortal World has since created its own will. However, with so many of them converging now, who will have the say?
“Converge? In other words, the stronger wills will consume the weaker ones. That is why the second part of the proverb mentions… the Battle of the Heavenly Champions!
“The Heavenly Champion from each fragmented Immortal World will have them compete against each other when the worlds converge, and the winner’s will of the Immortal World will be the new and complete Immortal World!”
Chu Kuangren’s fingers unconsciously tapped the table as thoughts flooded his head. He had a feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.
The Battle of Destiny was just the preliminaries.
The Battle of the Heavenly Champions would be the true competition between the Immortal Worlds!
“Interesting. Battle of the Heavenly Champions, huh? People of different Fragmented Immortal Worlds are all chess pieces to the will, and it seems like the will of the Immortal World is playing one big game of chess.” Chu Kuangren cackled in laughter.
Having a general idea of what would become of the Immortal World, the Dean was quite shaken by the discovery.
“The convergence of worlds, the Battle of Heavenly Champions… This would involve the entire universe, and we will see a huge and unprecedented change!”
“Only on that scale is it interesting.” Chu Kuangren was intrigued.
If he were the only one treading on the Immortal Path, it would be rather boring. He needed some entertainment and excitement along the way.
Besides, Planquilon Immortal World was no longer entertaining.
The complete Immortal World was much more exciting to him.
After chatting with the Dean, Chu Kuangren summoned Lil Fox and updated her about the Fox Tribe, Tushan Scripture, and the Jizhou Cauldron.
“Your father left these for you.”
Lil Fox looked at the two items in her hands. Then, she gave the Jizhou Cauldron to Chu Kuangren and said, “Boss, you said this item is a Humanity Fortune Treasure, right? I, as a fox, can’t use it anyway, so I’ll leave it to you. I’ll cultivate the Immortal scripture that my father gave me.”
“I’m okay with that. If you face any difficulties, feel free to ask me,” Chu Kuangren did not reject her suggestion.
After all, he was quite interested in the Jizhou Cauldron.
