1934 The Heavenly Roundtable Is Formed, Returning to the Far West Lands, Getting Rid of the Dao Contamination Qi
s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s eyes widened upon seeing Di Feitian’s arrival.
However, he remembered that Chu Kuangren once wreaked chaos throughout the Emperor Tribe. Although he was shocked, he thought it made sense for that to happen.
When Di Feitian saw everyone, he was just as shocked as s.h.i.+nra Pirate. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to have gathered so many exceptional individuals.
More than half of them were part of the Nine Kings too.
He took a deep breath and sat down at the last seat.
He knew the mysterious and unfathomable Divine Destiny Temple was behind Chu Kuangren’s back. Hence, Di Feitian was very wary of him.
Besides, with his Life Contract on the line, he dared not even defy Chu Kuangren’s orders.
“Since everyone is here, let’s begin this meeting,” Chu Kuangren said.
“All of you should be very clear about the current situation in the Central Heaven Universe. To prepare for any future changes, the Heavens intend to establish a group with all of you as its founding members.”
“The reason the Heavens have gathered everyone is for you to get to know one another. After all, we will have to look after each other’s backs from now on.”
Upon hearing that, Di Feitian replied, “You may be capable of controlling me, Heavenly Sword, but the Ancient G.o.d Kings of the Emperor Tribe will return soon. When that happens, the weight of my words in the Emperor Tribe will diminish significantly. If you wish to control the Emperor Tribe through me, I’m afraid you’ll only be disappointed.”
However, what Di Feitian said did not affect Chu Kuangren much.
“The Ancient G.o.d Kings, huh? If they stay out of the Heavens’ way, the Heavens shall not seek them out. Otherwise, the Heavens wouldn’t mind making them regret their decision to return in this era.”
Di Feitian fell silent for a while. He did not doubt Chu Kuangren’s words. After all, Chu Kuangren had the Divine Destiny Temple behind his back and the Pseudo Chaos Supreme Treasure Emperor Hammer in his possession. On top of that, he was growing powerful at a very rapid rate.
Someone like him would certainly surpa.s.s the likes of the Ancient G.o.d Kings in the future.
After that, everyone at the table spent some time getting to know each other.
Di Feitian and s.h.i.+nra Pirate were silent. ‘What a guy!’
‘Five of the Nine Kings are here!’
‘All of them are under Chu Kuangren’s control, yet they say the Nine Kings shall rule the future?’
Both of them found the prophecy somewhat amusing.
“Heavenly Sword, since you have established this group, you should have a name for it, shouldn’t you?” s.h.i.+nra Pirate asked curiously.
Everyone then looked toward Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while as he had never thought of giving the newly established group a name. Looking at the round table in front of him, his eyes lit up. “Since the concept of roundness represents the unity and completeness of the universe, we shall call this group the Heavenly Roundtable.”
The others did not object to the name.
“Since the Heavenly Sword proclaims himself as the Heavens and is the person who founded this group, there can’t be a better choice than naming it as the Heavens.”
“I agree.”
“Alright, it’s decided. We shall be known as the Heavenly Roundtable.”
As of now, the Heavenly Roundtable was established under Chu Kuangren’s leaders.h.i.+p.
Including Chu Kuangren, there were a total of ten founding members in the group.
“The Heavenly Roundtable and Pan Gu Universe’s Black Heaven Nine Stars… They shall be the key for me to control the situation of the two universes in the future,” Chu Kuangren thought.
…
Meanwhile, in the Pan Gu Universe, ever since establis.h.i.+ng the Black Heaven Nine Stars, Chu Kuangren went into closed-door meditation again. During that time, he managed to break through his cultivation level to the Embodier Realm.
“What a challenge it was. After taking advantage of the link between Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren and me, I’ve finally broken through to the Embodier Realm.”
“Besides, with this body’s unique Green Lotus power, I’m almost on par with the Heavenly Sword’s strength. This is not taking into account my various trump cards, of course.”
Chu Kuangren was pleased with the results of his closed-door meditation.
After finis.h.i.+ng his closed-door meditation, he went on a tour around the Immortal World.
Most of the Immortal World was now under his control, and the citizens of his Firmament Empire had also been successfully relocated into the Immortal World.
Everything had been proceeding in an orderly manner.
On that very day, Chu Kuangren arrived at the Immortal World’s Far West Land.
The world of Buddhist cultivation was located here.
He had arrived to obtain one item that was none other than one of the Four Innate Lotuses, the Gold Dharmic Lotus!
Of the Four Innate Lotuses, he had refined the Black Annihilation Lotus and the Red Karmic Flame Lotus. Meanwhile, the White Purification Lotus was still with Yu Zhi, as it was an item that the West Ruler Matriarch bestowed on her. Since Yu Zhi was his best friend, he still had no idea how to obtain it from her at the moment.
As for the Gold Dharmic Lotus, it was used by the Buddhist cultivators to suppress the Dao contamination qi. That was also Chu Kuangren’s reason for coming as he intended to settle that matter right away.
The Dao contamination qi was the major source of a great calamity that befell the Immortal World during the ancient Immortal times. It was a potent energy unleashed by the universe’s Great Dao when it attempted to recover its strength.
Those strands of qi remained at various places throughout the Pan Gu Universe like a ticking time bomb. No one knew when they would suddenly activate.
For the Pan Gu Universe forces to fight against the Central Heaven Universe in the future, those ticking time bombs must be removed as soon as possible.
Inside the Lapis Lazuli Earth in the Far West Lands, a gigantic Gold Dharmic Lotus was suppressing the Dao contamination qi that was surging from a Spiritual Mountain.
Buddha Jian Xing and a group of elder Buddhist monks were sitting on the Gold Lotus, focused on suppressing the Dao contamination qi. Their radiant Buddhist Light illuminated the surroundings with pure sanct.i.ty and harmony.
At that moment, Buddha Yun Lan arrived with Chu Kuangren by her side.
The elderly monks were a little surprised.
“What brings you here, Honorable Immortal King?”
“I’m here to deal with the black Dao contamination qi!”
Upon hearing that, everyone was a little surprised.
After all, the Dao contamination qi had existed for many years, and there had been many people throughout the countless years who attempted to get rid of it.
However, none of them had succeeded before.
‘Can Chu Kuangren do it?’
Without explaining further, Chu Kuangren stepped forward, ignoring the Gold Lotus’s seal, and entered the Spiritual Mountain.
At that instant, seemingly having sensed something, the black Dao contamination qi in the Spiritual Mountain immediately retreated. To it, Chu Kuangren’s presence was akin to an overwhelming beast.
The Dao contamination qi suddenly became so agitated that it struck the Gold Lotus’s seal violently.
However, it was not effective.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Chu Kuangren let out a low grunt. Several strands of Daoist laws soon appeared from his body and intertwined in the air. Soon, a gigantic net was formed, and it eventually enveloped all the Dao contamination qi within it.
“These… These are Daoist laws! The Immortal King has become an Embodier!”
“I can’t believe he has gotten stronger so fast.”
Buddha Jian Xing and the others were a little surprised.
Following that, they saw the Dao contamination qi becoming increasingly agitated after being trapped in Chu Kuangren’s Daoist law.
It a.s.sumed the form of a ferocious beast, violently charging toward the Daoist law. However, its efforts were useless.
Those Dao contamination qis had a powerful suppressive and erosive effect on the Dao that was cultivated by the living beings in the Pan Gu Universe.
Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren’s Dao did not belong to this universe.
After all, he was the embodiment of his own Dao!
“Now, shrink!”
His Daoist law swirled and surrounded all the Dao contamination qi before it shrunk rapidly, eventually becoming a black ball the size of a finger.
With Chu Kuangren’s Daoist law enshrouding the surface of the black ball, it was then absorbed into his body. He was sealing it using his own body!
After the Dao contamination qi disappeared, a huge gush of spiritual qi appeared within the Spiritual Mountain. The Spiritual Mountain, which was once a Buddhist Sacred Land in the past, gradually returned to its former glory.
Buddha Jian Xing, Buddha Yun Lan, and the others were overjoyed.
“Thank you, Immortal King!”
Buddha Jian Xing gave Chu Kuangren a bow.
Not only had the Spiritual Mountain returned to normal, but Buddha Jian Xing also no longer had to suppress the Dao contamination qi there. He had now regained his freedom.
“I have much need for this Gold Dharmic Lotus. Are there any requirements if I wish to acquire it?” Chu Kuangren asked calmly.
“You’re too kind, honorable Immortal King. This Gold Lotus was used mainly to suppress the Dao contamination qi. Now that the Dao contamination qi has been removed, you can have it as a gift, Immortal King,” Buddha Jian Xing said with a smile.
Frankly speaking, if Chu Kuangren wanted to forcefully take the Gold Lotus, even Buddha Jian Xing and Buddha Yun Lan could not lay a finger on him in the Immortal World.
Hence, they might as well go along with Chu Kuangren’s request. After all, they could stand to foster better relations with him too.
“Well, don’t mind if I do.”
Chu Kuangren took the Gold Lotus and casually asked Buddha Yun Lan, “By the way, do you know where s.h.i.+ Ying is?”
“She has gone to the Void Battlefield a few days ago.”
“Oh, have they started to act?” Chu Kuangren murmured.
After that, he did not stay in the Far West Land for long. Instead, he set off toward a few other locations in the Immortal World to continue absorbing the Dao contamination qi and sealing all the Dao contamination qi within his body.
