Chapter 974 I’m The Dao, Upgrading Physiques, Visiting Cloud Nine Insignia Manor
In Heavenly Web City, as Chu Kuangren lifted his hands, guqin music in the city gradually stopped. He fiddled in the void and manipulated all guqins in the world with his hands, thus obtaining the Guqin Dao Source.
Chu Kuangren could now combine his Emperor qi with Guqin Dao Source, plus the talent of Seven Chord Guqin Heart and his apt.i.tude, it would not be long before he was crowned as a Guqin Immortal!
However, he did not do so.
“Guqin Dao. Heh, It’s not my Dao.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head and chuckled.
In an inn, countless diners discussed the sudden guqin music that sounded just now. They were all felt incredible. “There’s another Guqin Immortal in Heavenly Web City?”
“It’s incredible.”
“I wonder which guqin master has affirmed Dao. There’s another Guqin Immortal in the world besides Guqin Crown.”
At this moment, being the center of everyone’s discussion, Chu Kaungren smiled faintly and did not bother. He looked into the distance and mumbled, “There was an inexplicable resonance in the distance when I was affirming my Dao just now.” “It seemed to be… An Immortal guqin?”
“That’s interesting. Let’s go and have a look.”
Chu Kuangren determined his next action target. Sword Crown, Lan Yu, and Lil Fox left the room and approached Chu Kuangren. Lil Fox uttered excitedly. “Boss, did you see it just now? Someone in Heavenly Web City has become an Immortal!”
Chu Kuangren nodded. “Well, yes, I saw it.”
“I wonder who it is that’s such powerful.”
Lil Fox was chattering. On the other side, Sword Crown looked at Chu Kuangren with eyes filled with uncertainty. He felt a source fluctuation that only an Immortal had, from Chu Kuangren, and he once felt it from Guqin Crown.
He had a bold guess upon thinking of the vision just now. While looking at Chu Kuangren, he uttered, “Master, did you cause the transformation just now? Have you become an Immortal?”
Lil Fox and Lan Yu were all stunned as soon as the words landed.
‘Chu Kuangren has become an Immortal?’
“The fluctuation just now was indeed caused by me, but I haven’t become an Immortal yet. Guqin Dao isn’t my way of Dao,” said Chu Kuangren.
Hiss…
Lil Fox gasped. “B-Boss, you mean you can become an Immortal, but you just don’t want to, right?”
Chu Kuangren nodded sightly. “It’s not the right time yet.”
Lil Fox and Sword Crown were stunned.
It was the first time they encountered such a person. He could become an Immortal, but he did not want to as it was not the right time yet?!
That was an Immortal!
Countless cultivators had cultivated all their lives to become Immortals!
However, Chu Kuangren was not tempted at all?!
Was he even a cultivator?
“What’s your Dao, Master?” Sword Crown asked curiously.
“I’m my own Dao,” uttered Chu Kuangren.
Self-empowerment and Invincible Dao!
He was his own Dao!
These were his latest insights, but Sword Crown was slightly confused upon hearing his words.
‘He is his own Dao?’
‘What Dao is it?’
He had no idea.
Sword Crown shook his head and did not ask further, as it would involve a cultivator’s fundamental if he asked.
“Come on, it’s time to leave,” said Chu Kuangren.
Then, they left Heavenly Web City.
Chu Kuangren researched Lan Yu’s Radiant War Immortal Physique and mastered Radiant Combat Source energy during their journey.
In addition to Guqin Source, he had two more source energies, but these were not his greatest achievement.
By studying the Radiant War Immortal Physique, he had mastered some laws of transformation of a Daoist Physique into an Immortal Physique and had taken a big step towards understanding the Tome of Physiques.
The Tome of Physiques first gave Chu Kuangren two abilities. One was to a.n.a.lyze his physiques and utilize others’ physiques for his use, and the other was to make perfect use of his physiques.
Now, Chu Kuangren had gradually mastered the third ability of Tome of Physiques through his comprehension, which was to upgrade his physiques!
However, such ability to upgrade was not achieved overnight and needed to be deduced slowly. Chu Kuangren first chose Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart as the experimental object to see if it could be upgraded to an Immortal Physique’s level.
An Immortal Physique was already very mysterious. Comprehending the Tome of Physiques was insufficient if Chu Kuangren wanted to upgrade an Immortal Physique.
“Master, where are we going?”
Sword Crown asked during their journey. For some reason, he felt familiar with the path that Chu Kuangren took.
“Some time ago, when I was affirming Dao through guqin, I felt something resonated with me in that direction. I would like to go there and have a look,” said Chu Kuangren while looking into the distance.
Sword Crown also looked in the direction thoughtfully. “Isn’t that the direction to Cloud Nine Insignia Manor?”
“Cloud Nine Insignia Manor? That’s the residence of Guqin Crown,” Chu Kuangren uttered surprisingly.
“Indeed. I heard that in Cloud Nine Insignia Manor, there’s an ancient Immortal guqin called Cloud Nine Insignia, which is also the origin of the manor’s name. However, none in the manor could play the guqin, not even Guqin Crown. Could it be the thing that resonated with you, Master?”
Sword Crown uttered in surprise.
Chu Kuangren was interested upon hearing this. “A guqin that Guqin Crown can’t play? That’s interesting.”
It was indeed an Immortal guqin that resonated with him.
Unless a miracle happened, it was Cloud Nine Insignia in all likelihood.
They heard a lot of news about Cloud Nine Insignia Manor as they gradually approached.
“Have you heard about it? Guqin Crown is recently organizing a Cloud Nine Banquet to find a master for the rumored Cloud Nine Insignia.”
“What? Guqin Crown is willing to hand over the guqin to others?”
“Many years ago, the Cloud Nine Banquet was held once, but none could play the Immortal guqin. Therefore, it has been kept in Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.”
“Tsk tsk, for some reason, Guqin Crown has started organizing the Cloud Nine Banquet again. This time, it has attracted many people and many of those who don’t cultivate Guqin Dao. It’s an Immortal Weapon after all.”
All kinds of remarks entered Chu Kuangren’s ears, making him look forward to this trip to Cloud Nine Insignia Manor even more.
“As a matter of fact, I still have a token given by Guqin Crown’s daughter, Xue Qinxin.” Chu Kuangren held a jade talisman in his hand. “Well, let’s visit her since we’re here.”
Shortly after, he reached Cloud Nine Insignia Manor along with Lan Yu and the rest.
The manor was huge with towers of different heights, and it was also divided into two sections. One was used to welcome guests, while the other core area was where the manor lord and disciples were situated.
“Honorable guests, I’m sorry. Guest rooms in the manor are all occupied currently. Please could you look for another place?”
A disciple said apologetically to several youngsters at the entrance of Cloud Nine Insignia Manor. Those young Immortal Progenies were dissatisfied upon hearing this. “What, we come all the way and don’t even have a place to stay. Is this how Cloud Nine Insignia Manor treating its guests?”
“My apology.”
The manor disciple smiled apologetically. Rooms in the manor were full due to the Cloud Nine Banquet, as too many cultivators came for
“Let’s leave.”
The young Immortal Progenies said dissatisfiedly and wanted to leave.
Chu Kuangren happened to pa.s.s by them.
“How are you doing? We’re here to visit the manor,” said Chu Kuangren.
