Chapter 117: The Sky-Prides Have Arrived In Succession, Looks Like You Will Have To Queue Up

“Chu Kuangren!”

Gu Changge focused intently on Chu Kuangren and sized him up as it had been three years since they last met.

Three years.

Ever since he obtained a Primordial Emperor’s Essence, Gu Changge had never once slacked off in the past three years, channeling all his effort into improving his cultivation.

His only objective was to one day defeat Chu Kuangren!

“Brother Chu, you’ve been in a closed-door meditation for three years now. Long time no see.” Gu Changge smirked as he greeted Chu Kuangren with a fist salute.

There was a hint of mischievousness in his tone.

Gu Changge’s intention was clear. He was trying to hint that three years was enough to topple Chu Kuangren off his throne.

“Indeed. Much has changed after three years, but there are some things that still remain the same. Take you, Crown Prince, for instance. You still very much behave like a stray dog that yelps aimlessly.”

Chu Kuangren simply smiled and said.

At this, Gu Changge immediately turned sour-faced. “Chu Kuangren, you’re too much now.”

“Hmm, that’s more like it, I feel more comfortable now. There’s no need for us to pretend to be courteous towards each other.” Chu Kuangren laughed.

“You…”

“That’s enough now, Brother.”

Princess Linglong interrupted Gu Changge. She then walked towards Chu Kuangren with a smile and said, “My fiance, I’ve come to bring you some precious items from the palace that could help nourish your spiritual power. I hope you don’t mind at all.”

Chu Kuangren was not used to Princess Linglong addressing him as her fiance. Nonetheless, he still accepted her good intentions with open arms.

The group then sat down to catch up with one another.

However, it was not long at all before Gu Changge said abruptly, “Chu Kuangren, you must’ve yielded decent progress this time from the closed-door meditation. I would love to witness it myself, do you dare accept my challenge?”

Gu Changge had waited restlessly for three years to defeat Chu Kuangren and he could no longer hold it in any longer.

After all, that was his purpose for paying the Black Heaven Sect a visit this time.

“I’d thought you wanted to wait a little longer before proposing. I didn’t expect your patience to run so thin so quickly,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.

“Hmph, cut the nonsense now. Do you dare accept my challenge?!”

“Sure, I accept your challenge.”

Chu Kuangren nodded respectfully. He was never one to shy away from challenges.

Gu Changge was delightful upon Chu Kuangren’s reply. He immediately stood up, walked out the hall, and took his battle posture as he prepared himself for the fight.

The surrounding disciples immediately circled around as they knew something exciting was about to take place.

“Gu Changge is challenging Elder Senior Brother to a fight now.”

“This person has the Primordial Emperor’s Essense with him and is also a Young Emperor of this generation. Will Elder Senior Brother be his match?”

“You must be new here since you clearly don’t understand just how powerful our Elder Senior Brother is. Three years ago, Gu Changge couldn’t even defend Elder Senior Brother’s single sword strike. So even if he has the Primordial Emperor’s Essense now, he could probably take a few strikes at most.”

“Is that true? Is Elder Senior Brother that powerful?”

“Absolutely.”

“Elder Senior Brother always amazes people in many different ways.”

The absolute confidence that most disciples of the Black Heaven Sect had in Chu Kuangren certainly infuriated Gu Changge.

Immediately, a mighty explosion of Daoist Rhymes erupted from his body and his spiritual energy manifested itself in the shape of a majestic dragon. The dragon let out a thunderous roar above the sky, creating a terrifying aura that threatened most disciples on the ground.

Cultivators who had a weaker cultivation base immediately collapsed onto the ground.

At that moment, a cultivator with a strong momentum emerged among the group of disciples and blocked the terrifying aura that was cast by the majestic dragon. That person was none other than the Daoist, Nangong Huang.

His eyes were filled with the energies of Yin and Yang as he stared at Gu Changge and snorted, “Crown Prince, are you so despicable that you’ve resorted to bullying the weak?”

Gu Changge took a glimpse at him. “I’m just teaching them a lesson to watch their words.”

“What they said were true. You dare come to challenge me, yet you refuse to let others speak the truth?” Chu Kuangren dissed Gu Changge as he walked out the hall.

With each step Chu Kuangren took, his Daoist Rhymes thickened and white lotuses materialized along the way. As the white lotuses bloomed, it dissolved the oppressing aura that Gu Changge emitted and cleansed the entire realm.

By now, Chu Kuangren had fully mastered the White Lotus Light of Purification.

Gu Changge was stunned at the sight.

Only then did Gu Changge remember that although Chu Kuangren did not have the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, he was still one of the most stellar sky-prides of this generation!

Three years ago, he was able to suppress everyone and naturally that placed him apart from the others. Although things had changed after three years, Chu Kuangren was not an opponent to be underestimated.

“This is good too. With a formidable opponent, my inevitable victory will be worth it!”

Gu Changge said with a burning desire.

Just as he was about to make the first move, a strong burst of Daoist Rhyme came from afar and all the crowd saw was a figure appearing before them.

It was a purple-dyed hair youngster with seven-colored flames hovering around his body, and his Daoist Rhymes were fearsome and domineering.

It was none other than the sky-pride of Zhiyang Valley, Lin Batian!

“Chu Kuangren is mine to defeat!” At his appearance, Lin Batian uttered as he stared fiercely at Chu Kuangren.

Similar to Gu Changge, he had come to challenge Chu Kuangren.

“He’s mine!”

A crude voice was heard echoing throughout the firmament. Then, like a meteorite, another figure came crashing down from the sky.

The entire ground shook and cracked into pieces. Dust and debris were sent hurling into the air as a youngster dressed in black emerged. It was the Young Emperor of the Serene Wisdom Sect, Ao Chang!

“Oh dear, it’s Ao Chang from the Serene Wisdom Sect. He was a sky-pride thirty thousand years ago, and now he has become a Young Emperor. Looks like he’s here to join in the crowd too.”

“I heard that Lin Batian from the Zhiyang Valley is capable of manipulating an element called the Sacred Flames. His combat power is unparalleled and could easily defeat any ordinary Honorable.”

“It’s no exaggeration to suggest that these two cultivators are amongst the best within the crowd of Young Emperors. Who would’ve thought that they would come to challenge our Elder Senior Brother?”

“Look, another person is coming.”

At that moment, there was a visible disruption in the sky as though it was manipulated by an array of different Daoist Rhymes. There were traces of Wind, Fire, Mountain, and River elements.

A youngster donned in white then descended along with the four elements that surrounded him.

It was Yuanhong from the Dharma Sect.

“Brother Chu, long time no see. I’ve come to defeat you today!”

With a passionate glimmer in his eyes, Yuanhong immediately indicated his intention upon arriving at the Black Heaven Sect

“Is there still anyone else? Now’s your final chance,” Chu Kuangren said as he looked around him.

“Heh, Brother Chu, it’s been a while.”

“Oh, so there is another person.”

Chu Kuangren traced the source of the voice only to see Wuchen Zi from the Taixu Sect gradually walking out of the crowd.

He was radiating a kind of serene aura around him. It was very unusual.

“Brother Wuchen, are you here to fight me too?”

“Brother Chu, I’ve learned much after sparring with you the other day. I’m looking forward to another session with you today.”

Wuchen Zi was still unwilling to reconcile with the result of his sparring session with Chu Kuangren. So today, he had come in hope of seeking closure.

“Sigh, looks like you’ll have to queue up then,” Chu Kuangren said as he pointed towards the group of people.

The disciples of Black Heaven Sect had been dumbfounded at the entire incident for a while now.

What was happening?

Their Elder Senior Brother had exited his closed-door meditation for a few days, yet so many sky-prides and Young Emperors had come to challenge him?

What did their Elder Senior Brother do to these people?

A few of the younger disciples were completely puzzled about the whole situation.

In a distance.

Elder Ruyuan, Honorable Xuan Qi, and a few elders were observing from afar.

“Sect Leader, are we to allow these youngsters to do as they please?” Elder Ruyuan frowned and said.

If it was not for the approval of Honorable Xuan Qi, the Black Heaven Sect was not a place where Lin Batian and the group could come and go as they wished. They would have been thrown out of the place the moment they stepped foot into the door.

“It’s alright, let them have their fun. Besides, I’d love to see just how much Chu Kuangren has improved.”

Honorable Xuan Qi smiled and said.

With that, the few Elders became equally curious about how the event would unfold as well.
