“Aiming for the long shot?”
The Sword Crown glanced at Chu Kuangren and shook his head in silence.
He did not try to dissuade Chu Kuangren.
‘Then, Chu Kuangren mobilized his mind power to pick up the b.l.o.o.d.y Buddha sculpture. When he sensed the rage qi inside, it put a grin on his face.
“This is actually a decent Immortal Weapon, but it’s not a complete one,” Chu Kuangren scanned it with Lil Ai.
“Mhm. I’ve heard about it before. The Wicked Buddha Sect once had an Immortal Weapon that the whole sect took pride in. It’s named the Three-Headed Six-Arms Resentful Buddha, but it was broken into three pieces during the battle between everyone else and the sect. This one here should be one of
them,” the Sword Crown said.
He had lived long enough to know a lot of the past.
“As for the other two pieces, we’ll let Hui Fa find them for us,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile as he kept the sculpture away.
Then, he looked at the others.
“Thank you Brother Chu for saving us!”
‘The folks from Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy came up to him, cupped their hands into a fist salute, and expressed their grat.i.tude.
Chu Kuangren nodded his head and said, “I did it because it’s convenient, and that monk p.i.s.sed me off. Don’t mention it.”
“If I may, can I ask where you learned the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent?” asked the leader of the Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy group.
Chu Kuangren had a glance at the Sword Crown.
“The Thousand Lotus Sword Intent that the master used is from me,” the Sword Crown said.
Then, he revealed a sword in his hand.
The sword’s hilt was modeled after an azure lotus. There were Daoist patterns intertwined on it and Immortal Sparks glimmering. It also emanated a powerful energy fluctuation.
‘The cultivators from the Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy were shocked, and they looked at the Sword Crown in fear. “The Azure Lotus Immortal Sword… You are—”
“If you know what this is, just keep it to yourself. No need to make a fuss about it,” the Sword Crown said.
“Yes, sir.”
‘The few of them nodded in agreement. However, deep down, they were shaken because the man before them was considered a legend to them.
However, that legendary man was in Chu Kuangren’s company, seemingly acting as a follower.
Gos.h.!.+
They had no words to describe the shock and awe they felt.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren ignored the cultivators from Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy and stared a figure further away. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Huoshen Xiao wanted to leave silently, but someone appeared in front of him all of a sudden.
It was Chu Kuangren.
“What’s wrong? Where are you going?” Chu Kuangren said.
“Chu Kuangren, what do you want?”
“Holy Divine Fire Cult p.i.s.sed me off multiple times now. What do you think I want?” Chu Kuangren struck Huoshen Xiao with a palm attack.
Bam!
Terrifying Phoenix’s Flame burst all of a sudden.
Shocked, Huoshen Xiao quickly channeled his own divine flame.
“Bone Eroding Poison Fire!”
The black flame and the Phoenix’s flame clashed, but the black flame did not last a second before it was devoured by the Phoenix’s Flame.
Without even putting up a fight, Huoshen Xiao was burnt to ashes. All that was left was a ball of black flame tinder.
It was the flame tinder of the Bone Eroding Poison Fire.
“Hmph. It seems like letting you go last time was the right choice, considering you’ve brought me another divine flame tinder. I can use it as fodder for the Phoenix’s Flame,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile. Then, the Phoenix’s Flame engulfed the flame tinder and absorbed it into his body.
Chu Kuangren then glanced at the Weeping Phantom Ridge. Thoughts were running through his mind.
After that, he squinted his eyes at the rest of them and bellowed, “Everyone, you guys have two hours to get out of Weeping Phantom Ridge!”
As soon as he said that, his vast aura surged out.
‘The look on everyone’s face changed.
“What do you mean? Are you trying to take all the treasure of Weeping Phantom Ridge to yourself?”
“You are too arrogant!”
“You may have defeated Hui Fa and saved us, but this is one step over. You are just a foreigner!”
‘The crowd protested against him.
“Stay and I’ll kill each and every one of you,” Chu Kuangren said coldly.
With that, the crowd looked at each other helplessly and decided to leave.
Given their current strength, they were no match for Chu Kuangren. It would be as easy as lifting a hand if Chu Kuangren wanted to kill them all.
“Senior, we will be taking our leave now,” the cultivators from Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy said to the Sword Crown.
“alright.”
Xue Qinxin went up the Chu Kuangren. After a slight hesitation, she revealed a jade insignia. “This is a token from Cloud Nine Insignia Manor. Since you saved me twice, I will make it up to you if you have the time to visit Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.”
Cloud Nine Insignia Manor was one of the immortal orthodoxies in Planquilon Immortal World, and they were skilled in Gugin Dao.
Chu Kuangren accepted the token and said, “If I have the time, I’ll visit.”
“Tl be waiting for you.” Xue Qinxin revealed a smile before she left.
Once everyone else had left, Chu Kuangren looked at Lan Yu and the others. “I am going to do a closed-door meditation here for a while. Since there are a lot of treasures lying around here, you guys should take the opportunity to train up. Sword Crown, please take care of them.”
‘That last part was meant for the Sword Crown.
‘The Sword Crown nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll make sure they are safe.”
Chu Kuangren was relieved with the Sword Crown’s a.s.surance. After all, the Sword Crown was nearly recovered. Even if another Immortal came, he would be able to put up a good fight.
After that, Chu Kuangren blasted out a cave in the mountain ridge as the ground for his closed-door meditation.
He wanted to achieve two things through this closed-door meditation.
The first one would be refining the Bone Eroding Poison Fire and fusing it into the Phoenix’s Flame.
The second one would be cultivating the Jade Pool Immortal’s Scripture.
“Let’s start with absorbing the Bone Eroding Poison Fire.”
The black flame tinder appeared in his hand. “This divine fire is also poisonous. Maybe I can gain insights on the Poison Source with this.”
A b.l.o.o.d.y light flew across the sky and landed on a mountain peak.
Hui Fa looked terrible.
“D*mn it. I didn’t think Chu Kuangren was this strong, Not even the combination of Immortal Weapon and Immortal Technique can defeat him. But he hasn’t started on the Immortal Path yet… How does he possess such terrifying powers?”
Hui Fa failed to find answers to his questions.
“Now, with the Resentful Buddha in his hands, it won’t be easy for me to take it back. I have to find the other two pieces, and only then will I stand a chance against him. Fortunately, according to the ancient archives, the other two Resentful Buddha should be in this Ancient Immortal Battlefield.
“Thave to find them as soon as possible and activate them.”
Hui Fa took a deep breath and picked himself back up.
Then, he heard a conversation going on further away.
“Did you hear? The Holy Divine Fire Cult’s First Divine Bachelor has gotten another powerful divine flame. It’s so powerful that even a Pseudo Immortal is no match.”
“think he’s starting on the Immortal Path.”
“Not only him, but the Holy City Lord and the Spear Crown’s direct disciple, Wu Wuji, is also a powerful one. A single spear strike from him killed three Supreme Immortal Progenies. Listening to it alone scares me.”
Hui Fa’s eyes shone when he overheard the conversation.
“Even if I have the other two Resentful Buddha, I still won’t be able to match Chu Kuangren. I have to get help from others.”
He thought about it for a while and started to believe it might actually work.
“Chu Kuangren. No matter how strong you are, you are alone and a foreigner. How do you plan to fight the native King Immortal Progenies?
“Being a foreigner will be the reason for your failure!”
