Chapter 1117: Making a Deal With the Will of the Planquilon Immortal World, Smooth Sailing Adventures
Chu Kuangren spoke calmly as if stating a simple truth, which impressed Planquilon’s will.
Ever since Chu Kuangren came to Planquilon Immortal World, she had been watching his every move. All this while, he really had never been defeated before, and he took down every obstacle and opponent he faced.
“Have you never been defeated before?” said the will of Planquilon.
“As long as I don’t admit defeat, I shall be undefeatable!” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
There were many beings stronger than him in the universe, for example, those Arch Gilded Immortals in hiding.
However, even beings like them would find it hard to kill him completely.
Besides, his chosen Dao was the Invincible Self-empowerment Dao!
Only he would be his true opponent!
As long as he did not admit defeat, he would not lose!
“If you agree to represent Planquilon in the Battle of Heavenly Champions, I shall offer you any treasure or item available in Planquilon Immortal World,” said Planquilon’s will.
“Now, this I can consider,” Chu Kuangren said while touching his chin. Following that, he continued discussing some matters relating to the Battle of Heavenly Champions with Planquilon’s will.
After a few days, Planquilon’s will said calmly, “It’s settled then.”
Then, she dispersed into countless sparks of light and entered Chu Kuangren’s body.
Besides the Firmament Star’s Heavenly Dao energy inside him, Chu Kuangren had gained another power. It was the power of the Planquilon Immortal World’s will.
Similar to the Heavenly Dao energy, the Immortal World’s will could also strengthen his combat strength.
Chu Kuangren reckoned that the increase in strength he gained could temporarily allow him to raise his cultivation level by one or two minor realms....
To anyone else, that was no different than cheating.
Then again, for someone who cheated all the time like Chu Kuangren, that increase in combat strength did not seem so great to him. However, it was better than nothing.
“The Battle of Heavenly Champions, huh? It’s quite exciting.” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
According to Planquilon’s will, the Immortal World Convergence would soon be completed. However, even she was not sure how long it would take.
To the Immortals, hundreds and thousands of years were nothing but a quick passage of time.
However, Chu Kuangren was not in a hurry either.
…
“Lan Yu, Honghua, Lil Red, why don’t you guys go out for an adventure?” Today, Chu Kuangren went to them and said.
The ladies were a little puzzled upon hearing that.
“Master, what do you mean?”
“Perhaps you might find something valuable on your journey.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Right on time. I was just planning to set off on an adventure too.” Shang Honghua laughed.
Recently, she felt that her cultivation level had reached a bottleneck and perhaps an adventure was what she truly needed.
“Alright. Let’s go together.”
Lan Yu nodded.
“I’m going to visit the Sycamore Mountain on the way too.” Chu Hong laughed.
All of them had grown up. Although they wished to stay by Chu Kuangren’s side all the time, they knew that would be unrealistic.
Soon after, the ladies set off on an adventure.
During that time, Chu Kuangren also went into closed-door meditation.
Meanwhile, Lan Yu and Shang Honghua were journeying on an adventure. With their current level of strength, they no longer needed to be afraid of most Immortals in Planquilon Immortal World.
They did not encounter a lot of problems in their adventure this time.
“Hey, Lan Yu. Check that out.”
Shang Honghua’s eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed at a mountain in the distance, where some Immortal Herbs were spouting.
“Those are top-notch Earthen Immortal Herbs!”
Having been by Chu Kuangren’s side for a very long time, Lan Yu was inevitably exposed to much information about medicinal herbs and materials.
She had also seen that Immortal Herb before.
It was an Earthen Immortal Herb and a top-notch one at that. If a Ninth-grade Immortal were to consume it, they would surely ascend into the Earthen Immortal Realm.
“This is wonderful. I can’t believe we found this.” Shang Honghua was quite happy.
The two ladies quickly harvested all of the Earthen Immortal Herbs. Then, they found a secluded place nearby, placed some protective barriers, and prepared to break through to the next level.
One month later, a powerful surge of energy erupted from one of the mountains. Lan Yu dashed out into the skies with an Earthen Immortal aura.
She had broken through to an Earthen Immortal.
Not long after, Shang Honghua also succeeded in breaking through to an Earthen Immortal.
Before the two ladies could recover from their delight, they suddenly heard sounds of a battle nearby. The two of them exchanged glances and decided to see what was happening.
They saw a group of people attacking an elderly man.
There were even Earthen Immortals among them.
“Hand over that item, you old b*stard, or you’ll have to pay with your life!”
“Cut that cr*p. He’s already at his wit’s end.”
The two ladies noticed that those people wanted something from that elderly man and were unsure whether they should interfere.
It was not that they did not want to save him, but they were merely interested in that treasure. After all, it was a treasure that even attracted the attention of an Earthen Immortal.
“Over my dead body!”
That elderly man activated a secret technique and set his soul essence alight. However, even if he went all out, he was still no match for his assailants.
Soon after, he fell to a disadvantage.
At that moment, that group of cultivators noticed Lan Yu and Shang Honghua’s presence.
“Who’s there?!”
“Hmph. Are you here for the treasure map as well? In your dreams!”
Some of the cultivators were going to attack.
However, one of the cultivators suddenly exclaimed in shock. “It’s them, Lan Yu and Shang Honghua!”
Everyone immediately froze upon hearing those two names. As if they suddenly thought of something terrifying, they all gasped.
“Lan Yu? Shang Honghua? They’re Chu Kuangren’s subordinates!”
“What about Chu Kuangren?! Where is he?!”
The cultivators at the scene almost wet their pants at the thought of Chu Kuangren.
Nowadays, in Planquilon Immortal World, Chu Kuangren’s name was no different than a supreme being that should not be provoked!
“Ladies, I do not wish to become enemies with you two. Please forgive our transgression. If you two want this treasure map, it shall be yours.” The leader of the group, an Earthen Immortal, said while trembling in fear.
Although the treasure map was important, they had to be alive to enjoy that treasure.
He looked into the void terrifyingly, fearing that a sudden surge of sword qi would appear and end his life.
“Just leave us,” Shang Honghua said.
That Earthen Immortal breathed a sigh of relief and soon left with his men. As for that elderly man, he was already on the brink of death.
He took out a sheepskin scroll and said, “I’ve spent all my life searching for this, but never did I expect my end to arrive in such a manner.”
“Oh well. I’ll give this to you two.”
He tossed the sheepskin scroll to Lan Yu and Shang Honghua. Upon receiving it, they both realized that it was a treasure map. However, just as they were about to ask the elderly man some questions, he had died from soul essence exhaustion.
“W-What’s going on?”
Shang Honghua was a little confused.
“Why don’t we go and check it out?” Lan Yu said.
“Might as well.”
With that treasure map in hand, the two ladies embarked on a treasure-hunting journey. It was an unexpectedly smooth journey for them as they soon found the treasure without too much effort.
It was the treasure left behind by a True Immortal.
That treasure was almost on par with the Jade Emperor’s treasures back in the day. It was apparently one of the best treasures found in Planquilon Immortal World.
“Isn’t this going a bit… too well for us?”
Shang Honghua thought it was a little strange and unrealistic to have obtained that treasure. Their adventuring journey seemed to be too smooth and easy this time.
‘First, we encountered Earthen Immortal Herbs soon after we started our journey, allowing us to become Earthen Immortals. Then, we obtained the treasure map without much effort and even found the hidden treasure without any trouble. These treasures are seemingly leaping into our laps at this point.’
“It’s as if some unseen force is pointing us to these treasures,” Lan Yu mumbled.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind. She remembered it was Chu Kuangren who suggested they venture into the world. He also said that they might even obtain treasures along the way.
“Did Master know of this from the very start?”
“Does this mean my King is also a prophet?”
The two ladies looked at each other, feeling a little incredulous at everything that had happened.
