Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I lost…"

The moment those words came out from the Taixu Temple Lord's mouth, the countless disciples outside the Distant Day Palace Hall immediately fell silent. At that moment, not a single sound was heard in the vast Taixu Temple.

Everyone was so in shock that they became speechless.

What had they just heard?

The Taixu Temple Lord said that he … Lost?

The Taixu Temple Lord lost in a mental sparring match with Chu Kuangren!

'He is an Honorable Supreme! How can he lose to a mere junior? This is just too unbelievable. No one will even believe it if word spreads of this.'

"The Temple Lord, he… Lost!"

"How can this be? How is it possible for Chu Kuangren to win against the Temple Lord!"

"What kind of beast is he? He's only a Paradise Realm cultivator, yet you're telling me he won against an Honorable Supreme in a mental sparring match? This is defying logic!"

"Too terrifying, he's just too terrifying."

"Although I'm unwilling to accept it, what he said was true. No one could deem themselves as sky-prides before Chu Kuangren! They are all just mediocre peers."

What followed after the silence was a wave of heated discussions.

Many people were shocked yet amazed. Some were even traumatized as if they had seen a peak that was hard for them to reach in their lifetimes.

In the Distant Day Palace Hall, the shocked Taixu Temple Lord looked back at Chu Kuangren after he had regained his composure and lamented. "I did not expect Junior Chu to have been able to gain enlightenment at the final moment and break through the Daoist technique realms. It is truly amazing and impressive."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to have a breakthrough at the final moment if it weren't for the Temple Lord putting such a big pressure on me." Chu Kuangren simply smiled.

From his perspective, was this not how things should be naturally?

After all, who went and made him into a protagonist?

Upon hearing that, the Taixu Temple Lord's mouth twitched. It meant that not only his plans were foiled, but he had inadvertently helped the enemy instead.

"I have gained a lot of experiences from this mental sparring match. I thank you greatly, Temple Lord."

"You're welcome, Junior Chu. I hope you do stay a few days in Taixu Temple and I hope we can have a better chat when there's time."

From that moment onwards, it seemed like the Taixu Temple Lord had started to view Chu Kuangren as on the same level of existence as he was, or at least it was quite so on the subject of Daoist techniques.

"Yeah, that'd be nice."

Chu Kuangren did not refuse as well.

With that, he stayed three more days at the Taixu Temple, and during that time, besides the Taixu Temple Lord, even the other elders went to have a mental sparring match with him.

In those three days, Chu Kuangren went through at least ten mental sparring matches which deeply refined his understanding of Daoist techniques as of then, and his Single Strike Technique had also improved as well.

"Temple Lord, I thank you for having me here for the past few days."

At the Taixu Temple's mountain gate, Chu Kuangren was preparing to leave.

The Taixu Temple Lord and a crowd of elders were also there to see him off.

"Feel free to visit again, young junior."

The Taixu Temple Lord chuckled. Although he lost to Chu Kuangren in the mental sparring match, he did not feel any resentment at all. Instead, he was just amazed.

Besides, building good relations with a sky-pride of that level would only benefit the Taixu Temple without causing any harm. Only a fool would seek to make enemies with him.

"Just as the mountain fields are lush and the river flows everlastingly, Temple Lord, we are bound to meet again someday in the future. Goodbye."

With that, Chu Kuangren turned and went down the mountain.

Seeing his receding silhouette, the Taixu Temple Lord

"He can even be compared with the Emperors of Old!"

Chu Kuangren had left the Taixu Temple since then, but in the past few days, news of him winning the Taixu Temple Lord in a mental sparring match had long spread far and wide.

Every orthodoxy and their respective sky-prides all felt that the news was too unbelievable.

A Paradise Realm cultivator had a mental spar with an Honorable Supreme and won?

It would be too much for that to be an exaggeration.

"That monster. This Chu Kuangren's not even human at all, that guy's a monster! Why don't you tell me which other sky-pride can win an Honorable Supreme in a mental sparring match?"

"I think that this person is just too terrifyingly strong."

"I agree. Will Chu Kuangren not stop until he finally scares or shocks us to death? Why does every news about him seem bigger and sound crazier than the last?"

"Sheesh, so what? That guy also killed a sage before, just so you know."

"Yeah, that's true."

Although most people were shocked by the news, some of them were already numb to anything that concerned Chu Kuangren. In fact, they started to feel that such a thing was normal for someone like him.

'So what if he wins an Honorable Supreme in a mental sparring match?'

'The guy has also killed an Honorable Supreme and even a sage in the past. Compared to all of this, winning the Taixu Temple Lord doesn't seem like a big deal to me.'

Within the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom.

A young black-haired man was holding a news report in his hands, which contained a sorted list of the top-tiered sky-prides in Firmament Star.

In that list, Chu Kuangren's name was highlighted in red.

"I can't believe so many years have pa.s.sed by. Now that the Great Dharma Emergence is happening and the Road to the Emperor's Realm has opened, there's only a mere handful of sky-prides around?"

"Young Emperor? So any Paradise Realm cultivators who can defeat those in the Battle Monarch Realm are known as Young Emperors now? What a joke. These so-called Young Emperors are basically people with unworthy t.i.tles."

The young black-haired man said casually.

Beside him, Master Daoist Ling Hai had a surprised look in his eyes. He could not believe what this tens of thousands of years old sky-pride was saying.

However, his surprise faded away when he thought of that man's strength.

"Only this Chu Kuangren person seems interesting."

"He's only at the Paradise Realm cultivation level, but his Daoist techniques and cultivation already surpa.s.s those of an Honorable Supreme. If this is true, then this person would also be one of the top geniuses during my time. Hehe, perhaps he might even be a fitting match for me as well."

The young black-haired man put aside the news, looked at Master Daoist Ling Hai, and said, "I have slumbered for thirty thousand years. The orthodoxy that I once belonged to had since long been wiped out. I'm willing to join the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom."

"However, I want the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom to fully a.s.sist me in my path to cultivation. When I become an Emperor in the future, I can guarantee that the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom will be undefeated for ten thousand years!"

"Very well!" Master Daoist Ling Hai nodded delightfully.

"Then I, Ao Chang, shall be a disciple of the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom!"

The young black-haired man, Ao Chang said that as a fiery pa.s.sion burned deep within his gaze. He had finally arrived in the Era of Great Battles!

In this era, he should dominate every single opponent without fail!

Within the Zhiyang Valley.

A certain area within the void suddenly twisted and opened. After that, a young purple-haired man was seen walking out from it and as he did so, colorful flames swirled around him.

The flames were at an extremely horrifying temperature. In a short second, it had burned down a whole nearby forest into ashes, turning everything within a hundred-mile radius into scorched earth!

The young purple-haired man then slowly opened his palms, where colorful flames that were filled with an extremely horrifying Daoist Rhyme emerged.

"I did it!"

"I finally managed to tame the sacred fires left by my forefathers!"

"Chu Kuangren, I, Lin Batian will not be weaker than you!"

Within the Black Heaven Sect.

Numerous disciples received the news of Chu Kuangren winning the Taixu Temple Lord in the mental sparring match. Hence they were all proud, elated, and mad with joy.

"All hail our mighty Elder Senior Brother!"

"That's nothing. Not to mention an Honorable Supreme, I won't be surprised if our Elder Senior Brother wins against a sage for our Elder Senior Brother is just too strong."

"Elder Senior Brother is just too powerful. We all have to work hard to be like him too."

"You're right, I shall increase my cultivation hours tomorrow."

"Same goes for me too."

"Come everyone, let's all form into groups during our cultivation session. It'll be more efficient that way."

The influence of a role model was endless.

Chu Kuangren had become the definite role model for the crowd of disciples in the Black Heaven Sect. Everyone worked hard and further increased their cultivation hours to catch up to Chu Kuangren, as they intended to close the distance between them and their Elder Senior Brother. This phenomenon greatly impressed the higher-ups of the Black Heaven Sect.

However, only the Honorable Xuan Qi felt a bit sad.

"Sigh, if that boy Kuangren has managed to win against the Taixu Temple in a mental sparring match, does that mean that he's above me in terms of Daoist cultivation and techniques?"

"Then I shall have nothing more to teach him."

The Honorable Xuan Qi sighed again in sorrow.

'Having such an excellent disciple is truly a troubling thing.'

The other elders looked at his expression and could not help but roll their eyes.

'Yeah sure, just continue with that act, just carry on.'

'How can anyone not be happy and delighted to have a disciple like that? You should be so impressed and happy.'
