Chapter 1006 A Great Harvest, Rematch Between The Sword Crown And Saber Crown
Following Chu Kuangren’s creation of his own source energy, the greatest taboo of the universe was born, and it shook every corner of the galaxy
Countless great ones worried. They wanted to deduce the situation but could not do as they pleased.
No matter how powerful one’s deduction was, it was based on the Universal Path. However, that man had tread beyond the Universal Path, and no deduction would work anymore. A forced deduction would only cause repulsion.
Back at Penglai Island, Chu Kuangren’s source energy fluctuation grew stronger. The source energies that he comprehended before were infused into his new Self-improvement and Invincible Source.
The source energy was slowly being complete, and Chu Kuangren was a great step away from ascending into an Immortal.
The day he completed his source energy of his own creation would be the day he ascended into an Immortal. Unlike others, he no longer had to go through the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms.
The Three Disasters and Nine Dooms, also known as the Immortal Path, was a trial from the Universal Path. However, his source energy no longer belonged to the Universal Path, hence the trials did not apply to him.
To a certain extent, it was safe to say that he had transcended.
“I did it! I finally did it!
“I’ve worked on this for years, and now I’ve finally created my own source energy!” Chu Kuangren opened his eyes with a hint of delight in it.
Then, he slowly got up and looked at the zafu before him.
The Daoist patterns on the zafu were already shattered. It no longer possessed the ability to help one enlighten their Dao. It was as good as a normal zafu.
The Immortal trees around him had withered as well. Even all the leaves had fallen.
All the spiritual qi of Penglai Island were drained empty.
Chu Kuangren could clearly feel an extra set of inheritance in his mind — the inheritance from the Jie Sect Ruler
“The help of the G.o.d-tier Enlightenment Card, G.o.dly Awakening Wine, the zafu, the Immortal tree, the spiritual qi of Penglai Island, and the Jie Sect Ruler’s Immortal Consciousness has allowed me to seize that moment and create my Self-empowerment and Invincible source energy.
“No, not only that, but I have worked hard to gain many insights into things over the years, as well as the knowledge from the Scripture Sea. It has been a rough path,” Chu Kuangren exclaimed.
After that, he bowed at the zafu before him and said with sincerity, “Thank you, senior, for all your help. I will forever be indebted to you.”
He expressed his grat.i.tude to the Jie Sect Ruler, albeit the lingering Immortal Consciousness had faded.
Chu Kuangren turned around and left.
The Immortals behind him stared at him in shock, not knowing what exactly happened to him.
Creating one’s source energy was unheard of. Nevertheless, they knew that Chu Kuangren had gotten a huge Opportunity of Fortune.
They looked at the now powerless zafu and Immortal tree in pain. Just like that, the Opportunity of Fortune before them was gone.
Then, they looked at Chu Kuangren warily, certain that Chu Kuangren had taken the Opportunity of Fortune. Would they be able to s.n.a.t.c.h it from him? At the thought of the source energy fluctuation that he released earlier, the Immortals could not help but s.h.i.+ve. No one dared to make a rash move.
On top of that, the Masters from the academy were also present. That fact alone forced the rest to think twice if they wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Chu Kuangren’s opportunity.
The expedition to Penglai Island continued for several months. However, after the Immortal tree absorbed the spiritual qi of the entire island, many of the remaining Opportunities of Fortunes had faded altogether. No one was able to secure anything big after that.
All the orthodoxies arrived at the island excitedly, hoping to secure something big, only to return with nothing but disappointment.
Chu Kuangren was the only one who returned fruitful.
With that, Chu Kuangren and company returned to the academy, together with Gong Yue from Jade Clarity Immortal Sect and Shang Honghua.
“I have not visited the dean for many years now. Maybe this would be a great chance for me to visit an old friend.” Gong Yue simply wanted to visit the dean at the academy.
Shang Honghua, on the other hand, refused to leave Chu Kuangren. She had finally found him after much hards.h.i.+p, so she ought to stay by his side for now.
…
After the events at Penglai Island, Planquilon Immortal World seemingly returned to its peaceful days. However, something else was brewing in the dark. The immortal orthodoxies were preparing for something big.
Everyone knew it was calm before the storm.
The Battle of Destiny had yet to come to a conclusion.
Aside from the Battle of Destiny, which remained under the spotlight, many other occurrences and events were also happening throughout the Immortal World.
One, such as a battle, was happening that day in Slumbering Sword Ocean.
A white-haired elderly arrived at Slumbering Sword Ocean, with terrifying sword intentions gus.h.i.+ng out and sweeping across the place.
The saber cultivators of Slumbering Sword Ocean felt the sword intents.
“This sword intent… Could it be the Sword Crown?!”
“The Sword Crown is here?”
“Hmph! Has he not accepted his previous defeat?”
Some of the saber cultivators reacted with a heavy look.
Swoos.h.!.+
Several figures flew out and appeared before the Sword Crown.
One of them wore a black long robe with a white saber at his waist. He strutted forward with saber intents overflowing from him.
“Sword Crown, how dare you show yourself here?” he scoffed.
“Why not?” The Sword Crown chuckled and scanned his eyes across the crowd.
“What a bunch of losers. Where is the Saber Crown? Call him out!”
“There’s no need to trouble the sect master. I alone am more than enough to defeat you.”
The man took a step forward, and his Immortal’s Core energy erupted.
To him, since the Sword Crown lost to the Saber Crown once before, he a.s.sumed that the Sword Crown had lost his former glory. Meanwhile, the man himself had improved tremendously over the years, and he believed he could easily defeat the Sword Crown.
“Dragon Roar Slas.h.!.+”
However, due to the Sword Crown’s former reputation, the man in black gave his best in his first strike. A powerful saber ray flashed and transformed into a dragon shadow.
The Sword Crown remained still on the spot. The sword intents around him swirled rapidly, and the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword appeared before him. With a simple swing of his sword, a surge of ravaging sword qi gushed out. With a loud bang, the dragon shadow shattered, and the man in black was struck by the sword qi, which sent him flying backward with blood spurting out of his mouth.
The sword intent around the Sword Crown rose, and it felt like it had reached new heights. The saber cultivators present were shocked by the revelation.
“He has recovered to his former glory?”
“How is this possible?!”
“If he has completely recovered, we are no match for him. d.a.m.n it. Things just got complicated.”
The saber cultivators present had a heavy look on their faces.
The Sword Crown used to stand at the pinnacle of Sword Dao. Only less than a handful of people could rival him, and it was said that he could even challenge an Earthen Immortal.
“Saber Crown, come out at once!” the Sword Crown bellowed.
Deep inside the Slumbering Sword Ocean, a surge of tremendous saber intent rose and clashed with the sword intent in the air.
Two people emerged from within, and one of them was none other than the ruler of Slumbering Sword Ocean, the Saber Crown. The other one was a lady in a glamorous dress.
The lady was beautiful. When she laid eyes on the Sword Crown, she quivered uncontrollably, and a complicated look appeared on her face. “Juexin…”
“Cai Yi…” A trace of wistfulness appeared on the Sword Crown’s face.
Then, he switched his attention away from the lady to the Saber Crown. The sword intent around him became even sharper as he said, “Are you ready for another round?”
The Saber Crown said calmly, “I don’t mind defeating you again. This time, I’ll make you accept your defeat. I want everyone in the world to know that a saber is always stronger than a sword!”
“Must you two fight?” There was a hint of sorrow in her complicated expression.
“Sword and saber cannot co-exist,” the Saber Crown said.
“I have to retake my prize. This battle must happen,” the Sword Crown said resolutely.
A while later, the news of the battle between the Sword Crown and Saber Crown spread across Planquilon Immortal World like wildfire. It became the Immortal World’s most antic.i.p.ated event for the past thousand years. Countless swordsmen and saber cultivators paid close attention to the battle.
The stakes were high for the battle as the future of sword and saber was involved. Many years ago, the Sword Crown’s defeat caused a huge impact on the swordsmans.h.i.+p world, and the number of sword cultivators plummeted.
The saber defeated the sword.
This time, would the sword be able to make a comeback?
All the cultivators had their eyes on the battle.
The battle was very exciting as well. The Sword Crown and Saber Crown fought for three days and three nights, but in the end, the Sword Crown once again lost to the Saber Crown.
The second loss shook the entire Planquilon Immortal World.
