Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Li Fei came out from Chu Kuangren’s place, she went looking for the Jiuli Tribe Leader.
Her early return answered the question in the Jiuli Tribe Leader’s heart. “He rejected you?”
“Yes. Master Chu is a noble person with unquestionable integrity, a true gentleman indeed,” Li Fei exclaimed.
She was not mad because of the rejection. In fact, her admiration for Chu Kuangren grew even more.
He saved her from distress and rescued her tribe from a bleak face. On top of that, Chu Kuangren was not only extremely talented, but he was also handsome. No matter how arrogant and aloof Li Fei was, she could not help but start to develop feelings for him.
!!
“Yeah. In that case, he’s a trustworthy person.”
“Father, what if Master Chu agreed? What then?” Li Fei asked curiously.
“Master Chu is talented, smart, and peerless. Even an Arch Gilded Immortal is under his command, which means he comes from an unfathomably formidable background. If you could be with him, it’ll only benefit our tribe. Besides, you have feelings for him, am I right?” Jiuli Tribe Leader said with a smile.
Li Fei blushed upon hearing her father and said in a small voice, “But Master Chu isn’t like the others. I’m afraid I might not be good enough to win his attention.”
She was by no means ugly. Otherwise, the young master of the Chimei Tribe would not have tried to covet her.
However, she was aware of the distance between her and someone as elegant as Chu Kuangren.
She might be the rose among lilies, but Chu Kuangren was the heavenly flower in the sky, peering down at all existence from above.
“Master Chu has an abundance of women around him. The two ladies, who are always around him, are not just any cultivators, especially the lady named Shi Ying. She might look like a common Heavenly Immortal, but there’s more than meets the eye for her. It’s strange. I can’t even see through her with my sight.”
“Oh, right. Father, are we really giving that thing to Master Chu?”
“He’s the one from the prophecy and the one who possessed the token of God Chiyou. He even saved everyone in Jiuli, so we should really give him that thing.”
Jiuli Tribe Leader nodded.
The next day, the Jiuli Tribe Leader went looking for Chu Kuangren.
Seeing Chu Kuangren again after the embarrassing rejection from last night put a blush on Li Fei’s face.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren reacted normally. He was in his usual calm and polite gentleman demeanor, as though what happened last night was nothing but a dream.
“Master Chu, we came here to bring you to a certain place,” Jiuli Tribe Leader said.
Curious, Chu Kuangren nodded and followed them to a certain mountain ridge within the tribe.
The place was manless, seemingly bland.
While Chu Kuangren was baffled by the bleak scenery, the Jiuli Tribe Leader stomped his staff on the ground and released an energy wave forward.
The whole mountain ridge shook, followed by countless Daoist patterns enveloping the surface.
Then, a ripple spread across space and seemed to have transported them into another world.
The black iron piece buzzed and resonated stronger than before when a pitch-black cave appeared.
Chiyou’s inheritance was inside the cave!
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up with interest. He already had several guesses in his head.
‘No wonder I can’t find it. It’s hidden in a secret realm with countless smart and powerful restriction seals protecting it. If not for the tribe leader, even if I level the entire place, I won’t be able to find it,’ Chu Kuangren thought.
“Master Chu, this is the Jiuli Tribe’s inheritance ground. Apparently, God Chiyou left his inheritance here, and only people destined to meet him can enter.
“Since you possess the token of God Chiyou and saved the whole Jiuli Tribe, I believe you’re the one,” the Jiuli Tribe Leader said as his eyes shimmered in hope.
His family had been guarding the place for generations, waiting for the one to appear to inherit Chiyou’s legacy. However, out of all those years searching for the particular one, only Chu Kuangren matched all the criteria, hence the decision to bring him to the inheritance ground.
Had it not been the case, the Jiuli Tribe Leader would never give Chiyou’s inheritance to Chu Kuangren, regardless of how talented or powerful he was.
With that, the Jiuli Tribe Leader brought him into the cave.
There was an altar carved with restriction seals inside the cave, and on it were three items — a bronze halbert, a ferocious-looking mask, and a pitch-black three-legged cauldron.
As Chu Kuangren approached the black altar, the black iron piece on him buzzed and flew out. It pierced the restriction seal and landed on that three-legged cauldron.
The cauldron was slightly chipped on the surface. However, with the iron piece sticking itself onto it, they merged, and the cauldron was perfect again.
A vast surge of demonic qi burst out and shot up into the sky as soon as the cauldron became whole. Subsequently, the secret realm shook.
Every tribesman of the Jiuli Tribe sensed the terrifying demonic qi, and it turned their faces pale.
More importantly, they felt a strange pulsation in the deepest part of their bloodline, and for some reason, they unconsciously knelt down on the ground.
“Could this aura be God Chiyou?”
“My goodness! God Chiyou!”
The tribesmen of Jiuli Tribe got down on their knees and kowtowed at the intimidating demonic qi with utmost respect and reverence.
Not only the Jiuli Tribe but a dozen other tribes sensed the powerful demonic qi as well.
“What’s with this aura? It’s coming from the Jiuli Tribe.”
“What’s happening? Does the Jiuli Tribe have someone this powerful?”
“Could it be a certain kind of Opportunity of Fortune instead?”
The elites of the respective tribes went forth to learn more about the demonic qi.
Further away on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions searching for Opportunities of Fortune also sensed the powerful energy, especially those from Demonic Dao Sects.
“This demonic qi is unmatched!”
“Who is it?”
“Wait, why is it so similar to the Chiyou Tribe’s energy? But this one is countless times stronger.”
“Does it mean Chiyou’s inheritance has appeared?”
The thought popped up in their minds and made their eyes glimmer with interest.
Meanwhile, on a certain mountain peak, Shi Tianxuan looked in the direction of the demonic qi with burning battle intents in his eyes, and the destructive energy he released destroyed the mountain underneath his feet.
“Chu Kuangren, I’ve found you!”
He transformed into a stream of light and zipped toward a particular direction.
Every other sky-prides who sensed the demonic qi responded by heading toward the source as well.
Back in the secret realm in Jiuli Tribe, the three-legged cauldron shone all of a sudden. On the cauldron, images of human figures started to appear, and each one emanated terrifying demonic qi.
There were a total of eighty-one figures.
The leader of the group had violet demonic patterns on his face. His keen-as-lightning gaze and halbert that released endless demonic qi made him look like a warlord that brought forth disaster and calamity.
It felt as though he was standing on a battlefield instead of inside a cave.
“They are the Eighty-One Demonic Generals!” the Jiuli Tribe Leader cried.
Together with the several elders and Li Fei, the Jiuli Tribe Leader knelt before the generals.
The Eighty-One Demonic Generals were an old legend within the Jiuli Tribe.
Legend had it that Chiyou had eight brothers, which made nine, including himself. They were the origin of the name Jiuli.
However, Chiyou then conquered seventy-two other tribes and became brothers with the respective tribe leaders, hence the number eighty-one.
Back in ancient Immortal times, they were known as the Jiuli Eighty-One Demonic Generals.
