Chapter 1182: The Jade Void Palace’s Trial, Seven Putuans, Leading the Way
Chu Kuangren stepped forth, and his mighty Immortal’s Core gushed out.
At that moment, Life and Death intent instantly appeared, followed by a gigantic Yin Yang Life and Death symbol that gradually expanded!
The Yin Yang Symbol soon enveloped Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, Chu Hong, Cao Yun, and the others within. It was gleaming with black and white Immortal Sparks.
The moment the surrounding restriction seals landed on it, they were immediately destroyed.
“Let’s go,” Chu Kuangren said to the others.
With the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol activated, Chu Kuangren continued leading the others forward.
At that, the fear in the surrounding cultivators’ eyes grew more intense.
“What a powerful divine ability.”
“Is that the strength of the Hundred Academy’s Chief, who’s also the Fengdu Ghost Emperor? That Life and Death intent sent chills down my spine.”
…
…
“That Yin Yang Diagram was composed of two strands of Celestial Demonic qi. It looks like the rumors are true. The Hundred Academy’s Chief really does possess the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique,” Zhuo Donglai uttered seriously.
To find the Heavenly Samsara Physique and the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique — the two great Immortal Physiques — in one person was simply unbelievable.
On this rare occasion, he actually felt threatened.
Although his true body had higher cultivation than Chu Kuangren, that was only at that moment.
After another year, who would know how much progress Chu Kuangren would make in his cultivation? With the two great Immortal Physiques, his cultivation progress would definitely surpass everyone’s imaginations, as well as Zhuo Donglai’s strength.
“The Hundred Academy’s Chief is truly an extraordinary person!” Yu Zhi could not help but lament.
She was even more interested in Chu Kuangren now.
Zhuo Donglai, who was standing beside her, gritted his teeth uncontrollably.
Everyone continued heading toward the Jade Void Palace.
Some of the more talented sky-prides and Heavenly Champions soon came out of the sea of clouds and arrived at the Jade Void Palace’s Daoist Grounds.
“The spiritual qi here is so dense.”
“As expected for an Immortal Sect’s training grounds. The Jade Void Palace must surely be located on the best Immortal mountain in Kunlun Secret Realm.”
“That’s right.”
Many cultivators were amazed.
“Look over there. There’s an Immortal Herb.”
Just then, someone saw a Top-tier Immortal Herb growing from the rockery nearby, and he quickly rushed over to pick it up.
The others also dashed forward to snatch it.
However, Chu Kuangren and the other top-notch Heavenly Champions were not too interested in it.
“How short-sighted.” Zhuo Donglai snorted.
‘Do they really think that Immortal Herb is the only thing valuable in this area?’
‘In fact, that Immortal Herb must be the least valuable item throughout the Jade Void Palace. What a shame for them, missing out on better items because of this.’
“The real Opportunities of Fortune should be inside the Jade Void Palace.”
Zhuo Donglai and the others then looked toward the Jade Void Palace.
There were seven putuans1 inside the magnificent palace, and countless mysterious Daoist patterns were flowing through them.
“That putuan seems to contain an Opportunity of Fortune.” Zhuo Donglai’s eyes lit up. Wanting to take a closer look, he walked into the Jade Void Palace.
The moment he stepped foot inside, a powerful pressure suddenly weighed down on him, making him frown.
“Is this the Jade Void Palace’s trial?”
“Very well. The harder the trial, the more valuable the Opportunity of Fortune hidden here!” Zhuo Donglai said excitedly.
The others also walked into the Jade Void Palace.
Similar to Zhuo Donglia, everyone felt an incredibly powerful pressure weighing down on them.
Just like that, the crowd approached the putuans step by step under the pressure.
However, most of them soon found themselves unable to handle the pressure and were slammed onto the ground, immobilized.
“It looks like I’m not destined to get that Opportunity of Fortune. So, instead of staying here and making futile efforts, I might as well explore somewhere else.”
With that, some cultivators stood up and left the Jade Void Palace. Sometimes, having the ability to judge the situation and recognize the limits of one’s abilities was very important.
“Chief, I’m afraid we don’t stand a chance to get that Opportunity of Fortune in the Jade Void Palace, so we’ll head out and explore other places first,” said Hua Yun, Fu Shan, and the other Hundred Academy Heavenly Champions to Chu Kuangren
“Alright. Be careful.”
“We will.”
Chu Kuangren looked at those putuan. His figure flashed as he walked into the Jade Void Palace. Besides him, Chu Hong, Lan Yu, and Cao Yun were also attempting to get that Opportunity of Fortune.
“This pressure is interesting.”
Chu Kuangren smiled.
Unlike the others, he was much more relaxed. Life, death, and reincarnation energy was flowing around him to resist the immense pressure.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren eeked and looked at a cultivator beside him. It was a noble-looking female cultivator dressed in a white robe.
That cultivator was Yu Zhi. When Chu Kuangren got closer to her, he suddenly felt a peculiar resonance.
That reaction was coming from the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture inside him.
‘This woman also cultivates the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture!’
‘And it’s the most complete version of the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture too. Furthermore, that peculiar reaction… is not only from her Immortal Scripture. Something else is causing it.’
Yu Zhi soon noticed Chu Kuangren’s gaze. The closer she got to him, the stronger the resonance.
“This feeling…”
“It’s my guqin!”
“My Immortal guqin is resonating with this person.”
Yu Zhi finally found the source of the resonance. However, that made her more confused. Why would her Immortal guqin resonate with someone like him?
“Oh, so that’s why.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled when he realized something.
Then, he looked at Yu Zhi with a playful gaze.
Sensing Chu Kuangren’s gaze, Yu Zhi could feel her face turning red. She said, “Hey, don’t you think you’re being a little too rude, fellow Daoist Brother?”
Her tone was gentle and not harsh at all.
It sounded more like she was shy.
After all, Chu Kuangren’s face was just too lethal to women.
“My apologies.” Chu Kuangren smiled apologetically. He, too, felt that he was acting inappropriately for staring at her for so long.
‘However…’
‘Maiden Sage of the Jade Pool Sacred Land, huh?’
‘Perhaps she can be of some use to me in the future.’
After that, he looked away and continued walking toward the putuan.
Meanwhile, standing behind Yu Zhi, Zhuo Donglai was on the brink of exploding with rage. That was the first time he saw Yu Zhi blushing at a man.
‘What’s so amazing about Chu Kuangren?’
‘So what if he possesses the two great Immortal Physiques?’
‘So what if he’s a little more handsome?’
‘So what if he’s the Fengdu Ghost Emperor?’
‘Apart from these, what qualities does he possibly have that I don’t?!’
Zhuo Donglai took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Then, he channeled his Immortal’s Core energy and walked toward the putuan while resisting the immense pressure.
He wanted to prove that he was stronger than Chu Kuangren!
However, he soon discovered that he could only follow behind Chu Kuangren and stare at his back. In fact, Chu Kuangren was getting further away from him.
“D*mn it!”
“How can this be?”
“Even if this clone of mine is not as powerful as my true body, there shouldn’t be such a huge difference in strength!”
Zhuo Donglai gritted his teeth.
“Wait. This immense pressure is not only a trial of our cultivation levels but our understanding of the Dao and our Daoist core.”
“But since that is the case, how could Chu Kuangren walk so casually? Is he truly that knowledgeable in the Dao?”
The remaining cultivators looked at Chu Kuangren and felt like they were far beneath his level. A bitter look washed over their faces.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren, who was the one in the lead, could not be bothered about how everyone was feeling. He quickly strode forward and arrived before the seven putuans, finishing his ‘journey’. After pondering for a while, he sat down on one of them.
In that instant, the scene before his eyes changed.
He found himself in a white space, where it radiated with Immortal Sparks. In the middle of the light, an elderly man with white hair, white robes, and an outstanding presence appeared.
That elderly man looked at Chu Kuangren and smiled.
