“The complete Primeval Jade Clarity Scripture must be in the hands of those from the Jade Clarity branch. Perhaps I might have a chance of getting it when the countless Fragmented Immortal Worlds merge together.”

“I’m in no hurry to combine the three Immortal Scriptures.”

“I’m cultivating the Invincible Self-empowering Dao, so the Immortal Scriptures of others are only a reference to me. It’ll be best if I can combine those three, but it’s fine if I can’t as well,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

His goal was to set forth on a path of cultivation that no one had ever seen before. It also meant that his cultivation techniques should also be unprecedented, which was the Invincible Technique unique only to him!

The same thing could be said for Immortal Scriptures.

He had gone through many Immortal Scriptures to lay the foundation for making his own, and it was an incredibly challenging task.

However, he did not hesitate to do it.

“Although I can’t combine the three great Immortal Scriptures, I still managed to gain something in the end. At the very least, I’ve broken through to a Sixth-grade Earthen Immortal now.”

The resonance of the three great Immortal Scriptures has increased his cultivation level.

Previously, the resonance between the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture and the Supreme Clarity Moral Scripture had pushed him into the Perfected Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal Realm. Now, he has reached the sixth.

“Fantasy Roulette.”

“Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a God-tier technique — the Sword-like Heavenly Intent!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

‘Sword-like Heavenly Intent!’

It was a top-notch offensive Sword Dao Immortal Technique!

Based on the Immortal Technique level, the technique would be a Gilded Immortal Technique, and it was dozens of times more powerful than his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent.

With this Immortal Technique, his attack power would increase tremendously.

“Very well.

“The Thousand Lotus Sword Intent has started to lose out as I become stronger, and the Invincible Techniques require some time for me to research anyway. Although the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol is powerful, I shouldn’t use a powerful technique like this every time at the start of a battle.”

“This Sword-like Heavenly Intent came at just the right time.” Chu Kuangren smiled.

“Chu Kuangren!”

At that moment, a cold voice sounded from outside the academy.

“Oh, it seems that an unfriendly visitor has come,” Chu Kuangren mumbled while touching his chin.

Above the academy, a man in golden armor was standing in the air while emanating an incredibly razor-sharp aura. He was an Earthen Immortal.

He was relentlessly releasing his aura everywhere, overwhelming most of the students in the academy with that immense pressure.

“This is an Earthen Immortal-level Golden Crow Guardian!”

“He’s here to look for Master Chu.”

“F*ck, he’s too arrogant. How dare a Golden Crow Guardian from Yokai Hall behave with such insolence in the academy! Is he looking to die?!”

The Golden Crow Guardian continued releasing his aura without regard.

He had the gall to do so because he was representing the Honorable Yokai Hall. Killing him would mean war against the Yokai Hall.

He believed that the academy would not dare to do that.

Creak.

Someone pushed open his door and slowly walked out.

The Golden Crow Guardian immediately saw that persondressed in pure white robes, with an ancient white jade-like sword strapped to his waist on the left and an ancient scroll placed on the right.

That handsome and otherworldly man was none other than Chu Kuangren.

The Golden Crow Guardian could not help but frown upon seeing him.

Although Chu Kuangren had an otherworldly aura, his aura was ordinary at most, as if he had no cultivation at all.

‘Is this guy really Chu Kuangren?’

‘The Chu Kuangren, whose name is known throughout the Planquilon Immortal World?’

Unfortunately, that Earthen Immortal did not understand a simple concept called… back to basics.

As Chu Kuangren’s understanding of the Dao increased, his aura also started to change. The most obvious sign was when he did not reveal his cultivation level, he would appear no different from an ordinary man.

Only Immortals with powerful cultivation levels could see through it.

“Chu Kuangren, you’ve finally shown yourself.”

That Golden Crow Guardian looked at Chu Kuangren and sneered. “Today, I’ve come to deliver a challenge from his highness the Crown Prince. Ten…”

Before he could finish, he heard a humming sound.

Then, the void trembled.

A terrifyingly powerful aura landed on him, and his expression immediately changed. At the next instant, he quickly lost control of his body and fell from the sky, creating a huge crater with his impact.

“I don’t like people who act high and mighty in front of me.”

Chu Kuangren slowly walked toward him with a condescending glare. “Also, you’re scaring my students.”

The surrounding students secretly cheered when they heard him.

‘Serves you right for that arrogant behavior.’

‘Before the likes of Master Chu, you’ll still end up lying on the ground.’

“Alright. You can tell me whatever message you’re delivering now,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.

“Chu Kuangren, how dare you treat me like this! I’ll have you know that I’m a messenger from the Honorable Yokai Hall!” That Golden Crow Guardian was red with rage, and he frantically channeled his yokai qi to try to stand up.

However, Chu Kuangren shot him another glare. This time, he formed a sword hand sign, causing the surrounding spacetime energy to become more intense, rendering the Golden Crow Guardian immobilized.

Sounds of bones cracking rang out as blood started to flow from the Golden Crow Guardian’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

He felt that he was going to be crushed into pulp.

‘So this is Chu Kuangren…’

‘Being able to immobilize an Earthen Immortal on a whim!’

‘How powerful!’

“I’ve already killed quite a lot of yokai Immortals, so I don’t mind killing another. Choose your next words wisely. I don’t like listening to nonsense,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

The Golden Crow Guardian was sweating profusely as he started to panic. All of Chu Kuangren’s past achievements started to flash through his mind one by one.

Killing sky-prides, slaying Earthen Immortals, wiping out ancient immortal orthodoxies…

All these years, numerous sky-prides, Immortals, and even orthodoxies have died in his hands. A Golden Crow Guardian like him would not matter at all!

Upon realizing that, the Golden Crow Guardian’s arrogance disappeared. Despite representing the Honorable Yokai Hall, he did not feel safe at all.

“I’m representing the Crown Prince to deliver his challenge to you. Ten days from now, the Crown Prince challenges you to fight at the Void Valley, marking an end to the Battle of Destiny!” the Golden Crow Guardian quickly said.

A playful look appeared on Chu Kuangren’s face. “This is interesting. So he’s brave enough to challenge me, huh?”

“Chu Kuangren, the Crown Prince’s strength far exceeds any of the previous Fated Ones. He shall end your undefeated reputation!”

“I’ll be looking forward to that.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled before he retracted his spacetime energy.

Having been freed, the Golden Crow Guardian immediately got up, turned into a ray of light, and escaped.

He was truly frightened of Chu Kuangren, and he no longer dared to mess with him.

“Sheesh, he sure is good at escaping.” Chu Kuangren sneered.

He could not care less about finding that Golden Crow Guardian. After all, countries at war would not kill each other’s messengers, and he was not a short-tempered person.

“The Yokai Hall’s Crown Prince, Jin Diyi? Interesting.” Chu Kuangren grinned.

He was eager to find out what kind of surprise Jin Diyi could bring him.

“I hope he doesn’t disappoint.”

After the Golden Crow Guardian left, the entire academy was in an uproar.

‘What?’

‘Jin Diyi, the last Fated One is challenging Master Chu?!’

‘The Battle of Destiny is going to end?’

Everyone was excited by the news.

“Jin Diyi is one brave person. I can’t believe he has challenged Master Chu. Haha. Let’s see how Master Chu beat him up.”

“Jin Diyi… The Yokai Hall’s Crown Prince? This guy is really mysterious because not many know his true strength.”

“He’ll never be a match for Master Chu, for sure.”

The Honorable Yokai Hall had challenged Chu Kuangren!

Such news could never be concealed, and it spread throughout the whole Planquilon Immortal World within the next few days.

During that time, the news shocked almost everyone, and it became the hottest topic in Planquilon Immortal World.
