2079 Master And Disciple Reunion, Tempest King’s Treasure, Comprehend Three Thousand Dao Compa.s.s
Chu Kuangren walked through the restriction seals and arrived inside the Tempest Palace.
He was in awe.
“This palace was left behind by that little girl, who wasn’t even an Arch Gilded Immortal back then but eventually grew into someone so powerful.”
When he traveled to Lan’s universe using the Times.p.a.ce Treasure, the time was actually during the previous Hongmeng Era!
Even Chu Kuangren was in shock.
The Times.p.a.ce Treasure exceeded his imagination.
It was definitely not just a common Chaos Supreme Treasure.
At the same time, he was glad that only twenty thousand years had gone by when he returned to the Pan Gu Universe.
If it were two million years, he would not have known what to do either.
However, he s.h.i.+fted his attention back to the Tempest Palace.
The palace was not exactly glamorous, but in the center stood a crystal statue.
The statue resembled a girl with unmatched temperament and beauty, and it looked alive.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at the statue, finding the face familiar.
It was indeed his disciple, Lan, or rather, the Tempest King.
As though the statue had sensed Chu Kuangren’s arrival, it started to s.h.i.+ne brightly.
Then, it came alive!
The Tempest King appeared in white robes and long black hair. Her skin was fair as snow, and her eyes were as bright as the stars.
She solemnly walked to Chu Kuangren and knelt before him with a thud.
If any elites from the previous Hongmeng Era saw that scene, their jaws would drop.
To think the unmatched, powerful Tempest King who conquered the entire era, the woman who never bowed to anyone, not even the G.o.ds or demons, was kneeling to a person!
What a joke!
“Honorable Teacher, we finally meet again!”
She respected no G.o.ds or Demons in her life, except for one man.
That one man that she would kneel before sincerely was Chu Kuangren.
No one knew that the Tempest King, who conquered the entire era, was hunted multiple times when she was young and almost lost her life.
If not for Chu Kuangren, there would be no Tempest King.
If not for Chu Kuangren taking her as his disciple, teaching her his technique, and providing her with an abundance of cultivation resources during her early days, she might not make it today.
Chu Kuangren not only saved her but also raised her, indirectly.
“Honorable Teacher, since my true self isn’t here and I can’t bow to you myself, my willpower thought form will have to do the honor. Please forgive my manners,” the Tempest King said.
“Please stand.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the Tempest King with a gratified smile.
She did not forget her master even after becoming strong.
Her character and nature justified his decision to take her as his disciple back then.
“Honorable Teacher, after you left, I managed to avenge the Yao Tribe, and then I traveled the Infiniverse to search for you. However, my journey led me to a fruitless end. I even entered the Great Hongmeng Universe to look for you, but my efforts still fell short.
“I suspected you must be traveling in the river of time, so I left this Tempest Palace here in the Great Hongmeng Universe, waiting for the day you would arrive.”
The Tempest King then raised her hand and summoned two items from the void.
One was a Yin and Yang Ring and the other was a compa.s.s.
Chu Kuangren did not know what the Yin and Yang Ring held inside, but the compa.s.s looked magical.
It had many Great Dao patterns carved on it, and from it, Chu Kuangren could sense the aura of the Infiniverse.
There were precisely three thousand Daos’ auras inside it.
Chu Kuangren had a hunch of what it was.
“Honorable Master, I didn’t know where your cultivation would be at this point, so I tried my best to leave something useful for you. This Yin and Yang Ring contains the resources to cultivate the Nine Primordial Tribulation Physique.
“I knew you were an Embodier back when we first met, and judging from the plethora of auras I sensed in you, I had a bold guess that you’re trying to fuse three thousand Dao and walk that difficult path.
“Therefore, I killed three thousand Grand Dao Realm cultivators of different Daos, extracted their Daos, and carved them all into this compa.s.s — the Three Thousand Dao Compa.s.s. I hope it’ll be useful to you,” the Tempest King said.
Chu Kuangren finally understood that the Tempest King had killed more than three thousand Grand Dao Realm opponents just for him, and he was touched.
“How thoughtful of you,” Chu Kuangren said sentimentally.
As for the Grand Dao Realm cultivators, he apologized to them in his heart.
“Compared to what you did for me back then, where you saved me, raised me, and granted me a new life, this is nothing,” the Tempest King said.
After that, she transformed into a ball of light and said, “Honorable Teacher, the appearance of the Tempest Palace will attract trouble. My willpower thought form contains a portion of my powers, and I can kill all below the Monarch Realm. If you encounter an opponent you do not wish to fight, you can summon my willpower thought form, and I will deal with it for you.”
“You are really considerate,” Chu Kuangren said.
An opponent that he did not want to fight?
He could not even fight most of the opponents now.
It was evident that the Tempest King was trying to protect his dignity as her master.
Then, the ball of light entered Chu Kuangren’s body.
Chu Kuangren found out that he could easily control the willpower thought form.
That would make his killer trump card for now.
Following that, he looked at the Yin and Yang Ring and the Three Thousand Dao Compa.s.s.
He checked the compa.s.s first.
His path of fusing three thousand Daos would take him at least one hundred thousand years. However, with the compa.s.s and the Tempest King’s help, he could significantly shorten the time.
“Did I just get a mother for myself?”
Chu Kuangren realized the Tempest King took good care of him, and it gave him a strange thought.
However, he quickly put the strange thought away and told Lil Ai to a.n.a.lyze the compa.s.s before starting to comprehend the Daos contained in it.
Outside the Tempest Palace, many other forces were waiting for him.
Once he stepped out, he would definitely be surrounded.
Even though he had the willpower thought form of the Tempest King, as the master, he should not rely on his disciple and embarra.s.s himself.
“The palace is protected by the Tempest King’s restriction seals, so it’s safe here. Why don’t I fuse all three thousand Daos in here before I go out?” Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
The Three Thousand Dao Compa.s.s contained the essences of three thousand Grand Dao Realm elites. Not only was it priceless, but it could be the best treasure for Dao enlightenment in the Infiniverse.
When his consciousness entered the compa.s.s, countless Great Dao patterns appeared before him.
He observed the patterns, and his mind entered a state of pure concentration.
His cognizance was unmatched since the dawn of time. With the help of Lil Ai and the Great Dao patterns the Tempest King provided him, he rapidly absorbed and fused the Daos into his body.
He was on a final dash toward his goal of fusing three thousand Daos!
Outside the palace, time flew.
Chu Kuangren did not come out after a long time, and the crowd grew restless and impatient.
Knowing that Chu Kuangren was enjoying the treasures inside while they were waiting helplessly outside, losing precious treasures by the second, they felt terrible.
“d.a.m.n it! Are we just going to wait here forever?” Bachelor Saint Tao bellowed.
“I have asked for Master Chen’s presence. Please calm down,” Priest Fei Ma said.
Master Chen was a famed formation master in the Great Hongmeng Universe. He was an elite of all kinds of restriction seals and formations, so he might be able to break the restriction seals left behind by the Tempest King.
It reignited hope in everyone’s heart.
