Chapter 860: Endless Moonlight, The Moonlight Essence, w.a.n.g Hang’s Doubts
"When is the moon round and bright…"
The moment Chu Kuangren spoke, the surrounding area immediately fell silent!
All the Moonlight surrounding him stopped swirling as well.
Everyone"s eyes widened when this happened.
"What"s going on?"
"This poem has just started, and this is happening?!"
"Asking the blue sky with wine in sight…"
Boom!
The surrounding Moonlight instantly became agitated.
Endless Moonlight immediately poured towards Chu Kuangren like a raging ocean, gathering around him and eventually forming a gigantic pillar of light dozens of kilometers tall.
The light from that pillar lit up the entire sky. Every cultivator from every corner of the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom could see it, and it put everyone in a daze.
At the same time, Chu Kuangren"s voice reverberated from within the pillar of light.
"When is the moon round and bright? Asking the blue sky with wine in sight…"
Countless cultivators inside the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom could hear the poem. As they repeated the lines, their eyes brightened.
"Who made this poem?"
"What a great poem. It"s resonating with the whole Moon Wheel Secret Realm!"
"It seems that this poem is not completed yet."
Everyone was shocked.
If an unfinished poem could spark such a great resonation from the Moon Wheel Secret Realm, how exquisite could it possibly be?!
Has a Poem Immortal descended upon the world?
On the Moon Gazing Platform, Chu Kuangren continued reciting his poem while endless Moonlight enveloped him.
"Oh, tell me, o heavens. What year are we in?"
"Seeking to return via the winds, yet crystalline jade towers loom, tall and imposing… s.h.i.+ning right through the mansions red, s.h.i.+ning low through the gauze-draped sheds… Void of grudges we must all be…"
Chu Kuangren"s voice echoed throughout the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom.
Everyone was fascinated by his poem.
Even the Daoist Celestials were drawn to it.
Meanwhile, the clear white moon rumbled violently in the sky as endless Moonlight gushed out from it towards Chu Kuangren.
The pillar of light that was dozens of kilometers tall grew taller.
Ten kilometers, a hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, a thousand kilometers…
An incomparable amount of Moonlight lit up the entire night sky. Its brightness could no longer be measured as the boundless Moonlight enveloped the entire Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom. The night was turned into day, while the whole universe seemed to have been set alight…
Everyone was deeply immersed in the beauty of that poetry.
"So live as long as you wish, for the moon"s beauty we share while far apart…"
Following the final line of the poem, the bright, white moon in the sky stopped trembling.
However, countless amounts of Moonlight continued gus.h.i.+ng out from it.
Everyone was in a daze for a long time.
They looked at the peerless white figure enveloped in Moonlight above the Moon Gazing Platform in shock. It was as if they had lost the ability to speak.
Compared to him, their poems were nothing but garbage!
Even the Moonlight surrounding them had ended up gathering around Chu Kuangren while he was reciting his poem.
Currently, not a single ray of Moonlight was around them at all.
"Brother Chu, you"re too powerful…"
Tang Haitang stared at Chu Kuangren"s silhouette, completely mesmerized.
She still remembered asking Chu Kuangren whether he knew poetry. His answer back then was… a little.
"What part of this is called a little? This is the level of a Poem Immortal!"
"Humble, strong, and good-looking…"
"D*mn. How can there be someone so perfect in this world?"
Tang Haitang became more infatuated the more she thought about it.
The other female cultivators were infatuated as well. Even Lady Leng could not help but look at Chu Kuangren with admiration.
Compared to Chu Kuangren, Zi Ying the Immortal Progeny, Planet Zi"s Fourth Seat, paled greatly and was not even worth mentioning.
No, the two of them were worlds apart!
"How can this be?"
"This… How is this possible?"
Zi Ying and w.a.n.g Hang had been dumbfounded for a long time now.
Were they challenging Chu Kuangren earlier?
They said he did not know anything about poetry?
F*ck!
If Chu Kuangren did not know poetry, no one in the universe could!
The both of them felt as if they were mere clowns playing tricks.
Within the pillar of Moonlight, Chu Kuangren channeled the power of his Universal Cauldron Physique to the maximum to convert the endless Moonlight into pure spiritual qi and then convert them into Emperor qi.
As a result, his cultivation level increased rapidly.
Boom!
An explosion rang out from within his body!
It was as if some sort of barrier had been broken down.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren had officially become a Great Daoist Celestial!
However, there was still a lot of Moonlight surrounding him. Even with Chu Kuangren"s strengths, he would need some time to absorb them all.
With a single thought, he channeled his Universal Cauldron Physique to the extreme to absorb all of that Moonlight into him, storing it inside his body temporarily.
After a while, the Moonlight started dissipating.
Even then, everyone was still deep in shock.
The entire Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom had never been so shocked before.
"W-Who wrote that poetry?!"
"Causing such a reaction from the Moon Wheel Secret Realm with a single poem? Has a Poem Immortal really descended upon us?!"
"It"s too terrifying. This is my first time seeing such endless Moonlight in my life. It looked as if Moonlight was pouring out from the Moon Wheel Secret Realm."
Every cultivator looked towards the Moon Gazing Platform with shock.
Then, strands of Emperor Thoughts surged forth towards the Moon Gazing Platform.
At that moment, the bright white moon in the sky that represented the Moon Wheel Secret Realm trembled once more before it exploded into countless pieces. Among those pieces, a white ray of light headed towards Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren grabbed hold of it.
The white light dispersed, revealing a white jade.
It flowed with strands of mysterious Daoist patterns.
"Is this the Moonlight Essence?!"
Someone suddenly exclaimed.
The Moonlight Essence was an item created after gathering countless rays of Moonlight. It was a legendary treasure that was well-known in the Violet Gold Galaxy!
"By the heavens. This must be the Moonlight Essence. Legend has it that countless years ago, someone who obtained the Moonlight Essence eventually succeeded in becoming an Immortal."
"This Moonlight Essence is a treasure that can allow someone to sense the presence of a Source!"
Everyone"s coveting gaze landed on the Moonlight Essence in Chu Kuangren"s hand. Even their breaths started becoming heavier.
One must first sense a Source and then cultivate it to become an Immortal.
The Moonlight Essence was, precisely, an item that could help any cultivator sense the presence of a Source. In other words, the item could help someone to become an Immortal!
"Chu Kuangren, hand me the Moonlight Essence now!"
Zi Ying said loudly.
He was staring at the Moonlight Essence with incredibly coveting and greedy eyes.
If he could obtain the Moonlight Essence and sense the Source, he could surely replace the current First Seat of Planet Zi and become the new one!
How could he not be excited about that?
Besides him, everyone else was also very excited.
Everyone who saw that Moonlight Essence, including the powerful cultivators hiding within the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom, could no longer sit still.
"So you want it? Come and get it then!"
Chu Kuangren said as he fiddled with the Moonlight Essence.
Without caring about anything else, Zi Ying immediately pulled out his sword and attacked Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, made a sword hand sign and unleashed a strand of sword qi towards his opponent.
The sword qi and sword collided with a clang.
Following that, the sword shattered into pieces as Zi Ying was sent flying dozens of meters away, revealing the purple armor, a defensive Great Daoist Weapon, on his body.
"Brother w.a.n.g, obtain the Moonlight Essence for me!"
Zi Ying shouted at w.a.n.g Hang.
However, w.a.n.g Hang seemed a little hesitant.
An opportunity had presented itself to him.
If he helped Zi Ying, he could gain a friends.h.i.+p and even build good relations with Planet Zi.
However, Chu Kuangren was an incredibly strong cultivator. Rumor had it that he was powerful enough to defeat a group of Immortal Progenies all by himself. Hence, w.a.n.g Hang was afraid that he was not powerful enough to defeat him.
As for Chu Kuangren"s background, w.a.n.g Hang was not afraid of them at all.. From what he knew, the civilization that Chu Kuangren came from was not powerful at all.
