Chapter 991 The Will Of The Immortal World, Battle of Destiny, Fated One, Uncontrollable Outlier
Having absorbed all the existing knowledge in the Scripture Sea, Chu Kuangren somehow felt empty and no longer intrigued.
He might have absorbed a vast amount of knowledge, but he had a feeling that he was still missing something to create his own source energy.
“Is it not time yet?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He was fully prepared for the creation. However, he did not have the slightest clue if it would work.
Without further pondering, he decided to let fate decide itself.
He believed that as long as he had firm conviction and confidence, he could make it.
All he had to do and could do was to do his best and prepare for everything.
“Brother Chu, it’s a pleasure to finally meet
you.”
The dean went up to Chu Kuangren and greeted him with a smile. Chu Kuangren nodded. “Nice to meet you, sir.”
Unlike others, who overly revered the dean, Chu Kuangren acted normally in front of the man. Fortunately, the dean and the others did not mind.
After all, as a young man who had comprehended the Enlightenment Source and had the chance to become someone as respectful as the Holy Late Teacher, it was normal for him to be proud to a certain extent. As such, the others did not demand anything from him either.
During their first meeting, the dean and Chu Kuangren chatted casually. The other Masters were impressed because none of them could chat casually with the dean. It was not a matter of courage but the respect they had for the dean that restrained them from acting casually in front of the man.
Looking at Chu Kuangren, he felt no restraints at all because he was able to put himself on the same level as the dean.
The first meeting ended with a casual chat. In the upcoming days, things felt rather quiet and peaceful.
He was either giving lectures to the academy’s students or guiding Lil Fox and Lan Yu in their cultivation. Now that he had comprehended the Enlightenment Source, he became a famed teacher with the Omniscient Spirit’s help.
One might even feel that he shared the same bearing as the Holy Late Teacher.
On that particular day, Chu Kuangren was gaining insights into his source energies.
Considering that his soul had been upgraded into Immortal Soul, his consciousness could not travel between the real world and the Source Realm, granting him convenience to gain insights into all kinds of source energies.
He wandered around the Source Realm daily and tried to identify the wonders of the source energies.
While he was carrying out his daily routine, he suddenly felt an unusual quake in Planquilon Immortal World.
The quake, or energy shockwaves, caught the whole of Planquilon Immortal World.
“What kind of power is this?”
Chu Kuangren frowned as he pulled his consciousness back to his body. Then, his Immortal Consciousness surged out to track the source of the commotion.
Other than him, all the other elites of Planquilon Immortal World had felt it as well, and they too tried to find out the source of that energy.
At the top of the clouds, a mystical Daoist pattern swirled energetically until a golden ball of light slowly emerged from the clouds.
More Daoist patterns intertwined around the ball of light, and when all the elites saw it, they were shocked. They felt as if they were a common peasant who had seen a bolt of lightning for the first time. The feeling was awe, fear, and reverence. “The Will of the Immortal World!”
“The ball of light contains the will of the Immortal World!”
All elites gasped in disbelief.
Similar to the birth of Heavenly Dao on Living Planets, something similar to the Heavenly Dao would also manifest in the Immortal World.
Legend had it that the complete will of the Immortal World was comparable to the will of the great Universal Dao.
Now, even with the Immortal World fragmented, it was still only second to the will of the great Universal Dao. Not even the common Immortals could comprehend its existence.
“Why is the will of the Immortal World inside this golden ball of light?”
“What is this?”
No elites had answers to their questions.
When Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Consciousness saw the golden ball of light, he used Lil Ai to a.n.a.lyze it. However, before the Omniscient Spirit activated, the ball of light reacted as though it felt him.
It exploded into seven smaller pieces, each containing a fragment of the will, and scattered in all directions.
As the fragmented light pieces scattered away, the elites tried to stop them or seize one for themselves. Even a fool would know that the fragmented light pieces containing the will of the Immortal World would also contain a huge Opportunity of Fortune. It was literally a golden opportunity that even Immortals would go after like a flock of birds.
Unfortunately, the light pieces were extremely fast as they dove into the void, disappearing within a fraction of a second. No matter what methods the elites used, they could not track the whereabouts of any of the pieces.
“The Battle of Destiny, the convergence of all seven light pieces… It’s all for the Heavenly Champion!”
A powerful voice echoed in every elites’ mind. Even all the cultivators of Planquilon Immortal World heard it.
It was at that moment that the whole world went into a frenzy.
“That voice… What is that?”
“You heard it too? Other than the will of the Immortal World, I can’t think of anyone else who possesses the power to speak to all cultivators in the world at once. But what does it mean?”
“The Battle of Destiny, the convergence of all seven light pieces, the Heavenly Champion. Does it mean that the Fated Ones will appear in this era, and they will fight each other? The one who collects all seven light pieces will become the Heavenly Champion?”
“Champion? Does it mean the Champion of the Immortal World?”
“It must be. The Immortal World Champion would acquire the protection of the will of the Immortal World! Then, this champion could easily ascend to an Immortal! And as the Champion, he’d be able to do anything he wants in Planquilon Immortal World!”
“This is a huge and unprecedented Opportunity of Fortune! I will find those seven lights, and I will become the Immortal World Champion!”
Countless cultivators, including those in all the immortal orthodoxies, went mad about it.
The whole Planquilon Immortal World plunged into an unprecedented frenzy. Everyone wanted the seven light pieces to become the Immortal World Champion.
Meanwhile, at the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes with a grin on his face. “Heavenly Champion? What is this will of the Immortal World up to? It wants to choose a champion out of the bunch?”
A great Opportunity of Fortune comes with great risk. He refused to accept that the will of the Immortal World would simply toss a pie into the sky.
There must be a deeper meaning to it.
“Master, the dean is here,” Lan Yu reported outside the door.
“Got it,” Chu Kuangren said.
He went out and saw the dean together with Gu Liufang.
“Sir, to what do I owe the visit?”
“The Battle of Destiny has begun. I am here to check on you to see if you are a Fated One,” the dean joked.
“As you can see, the light did not come to me, so I am not a Fated One. On the other hand, Brother Gu, did you see any ball of light?” Gu Liufang shook his head. “No.”
“It seems like neither you nor I are the Fated Ones.” Chu Kuangren joked.
Then, he looked at the dean and added, “Sir, you don’t seem surprised about this Battle of Destiny. Did you get a hint or a heads up beforehand?”
“I am good at Deductive Dao, and I’ve once deduced the future changes of Planquilon Immortal World. I foresaw this Battle of Destiny, but the details are shrouded from me,” he said.
“If someone as astonis.h.i.+ng as Brother Chu isn’t a Fated One, I am curious what kind of people would bear the t.i.tle. Grandfather, do you have any idea?” Gu Liufang asked.
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised. He did not know that Gu Liufang was the dean’s grandson. However, it explained why he was already a King Immortal Progeny at such a young age. “The will of the Immortal World shrouds the fate of the heavens. I can’t deduce anything,” the dean said with a shake of his head.
After confirming Chu Kuangren was not a Fated One, the dean and Gu Liufang left. Along the way back, Gu Liufang was baffled. “Grandfather, if someone as amazing as Brother Chu is not a Fated One, does it mean the Fated Ones are more outstanding than Brother Chu?”
The dean shook his head. “No. He is not a Fated One because he is an uncontrollable outlier, something even the will of the Immortal World can’t control!”
