After taking the Sword Crown as his follower and acquiring Thousand Lotus Sword Intent, he did not leave Ancient Sparrow City in a hurry.
Instead, he headed towards his next destination — City Hall.
Everyone in the Ancient Sparrow City was baffled by his choice.
He had killed the City Lord, yet he did not leave right away. Instead, he did the direct opposite by going to the City Hall.
What exactly was going on?
Was provoking Holy City not enough for him?
“Arrogant! He’s full of himself!”
“Instead of leaving after killing the City Lord, he’s headed to the City Hall? Is he not afraid of the enforcers from the Holy City? Unbelievable.”
“He’s definitely an arrogant one.”
Chu Kuangren did not care about the discussion or commotion outside the City Hall. At that moment, he was in the City Hall for closed-door meditation.
There were two things he wanted to achieve through this closed-door cultivation.
The first one would be to refine the resources he got from the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm.
‘The second one would be gaining insights into the Immortal Technique.
He had gotten some Immortal Techniques from the Bai clan and City Hall, as well as the Thousand Lotus Sword intent from the Sword Crown.
About ten days later, Chu Kuangren had refined most of the treasures he got from the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm, and his cultivation level had risen to late-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial Realm.
Next would be gaining insights into the various Immortal Techniques.
Chu Kuangren had comprehended many Immortal Techniques before this and had even created two whole new techniques on his own. As such, he was experienced in gaining insights into new techniques.
Now, gaining insights into new techniques was not for his own usage anymore.
It was to apprehend the source energy hidden in the techniques.
However, he seemed to have run into an obstacle. He did not know if the Bai clan’s and City Hall’s Immortal Techniques were not up to standard, but he could not apprehend any source energies from them at all.
He placed his hope on the last one on the list — the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent.
“This is the Immortal Technique created by the Sword Crown himself, and it’s a lot stronger than the Bai clan and City Hall’s techniques. Rumor has it that the Immortal Techniques are related to the Immortals who created them. They are categorized as Common Immortal Techniques, Earthen Immortal
Techniques, Heavenly Immortal Techniques, True Immortal Techniques.
“Most of the Immortal Techniques that I’ve comprehended in the past were Common Immortal Techniques. However, this Thousand Lotus Sword Intent might be at the level of Earthen Immortal Techniques.
“Earthen Immortals, the second realm in the Immortal Dao… Are there many in Planquiloon Immortal World?” Chu Kuangren mumbled as he pondered.
However, he did not want to linger on the question after thinking about it for a while. Hence, he concentrated on gaining insights on the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent.
That Immortal Technique was a Sword Dao Immortal Technique that was even better than Chu Kuangren’s current Imperial Monarch Sword Art.
Not only that but the Imperial Monarch Sword Art was not entirely a Sword Dao Immortal Technique.
In fact, the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent was a Sword Dao Immortal Technique in its purest form.
By following the Immortal Technique, he combined it with his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart and swiftly comprehended the eighth source — the Sword Source!
Meanwhile, in the other part of the City Hall, the Sword Crown and Lil Fox were hanging out ina yard.
The Sword Crown had a jug of alcohol in his hand, gulping it mouth after mouth. On the other hand, the bored Lil Fox was playing with the grass and flowers.
“When is the boss coming out of his closed-door mediation?” Lil Fox said with a yawn.
She, too, had refined the Fragmented Immortal Pill and had broken through to the Great Daoist Celestial Realm.
“Although I can’t use my cultivation now, I still have my senses with me. I can feel that the master’s energy is growing stronger. Two days ago, I even sensed the Immortal Technique fluctuations. He must be trying to gain insights into the Immortal Techniques,” the Sword Crown said with a smile.
In fact, he smiled because Chu Kuangren was gaining insights into his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent.
“How much longer will it take?”
“I guess at least a few years? After all, it’s not that easy to comprehend all of the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent,” the Sword Crown said.
He was not trying to deny Chu Kuangren’s talent, but he was confident in his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent. In Planquilion Immortal World, his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent was one of the best offensive Immortal Techniques.
“Huh? This is bad!”
The look on the Sword Crown’s face suddenly changed.
He looked in a faraway direction and sensed several powerful presences coming closer to the City Hall, bearing hostility.
“The enforcers from the Holy City are here?” he said with a heavy voice.
Not only the Sword Crown, but the other elites of Ancient Sparrow City also sensed the sudden arrival of the powerful presence.
Everyone looked at the soaring rays of lights in the sky, and many heated discussions were sparked.
“What a terrifying presence. The enforcers from the Holy City are here.”
“They are going to… the City Hall!”
“They are here for Chu Kuangren!”
Inside the City Hall, Lil Fox and the Sword Crown cautiously waited for the enforcers’ arrival.
“Lil Fox, I’d suggest you hide. The guests that we are expecting are not someone you can handle,” the Sword Crown said.
“I thought you were crippled. Can you handle them?”
“Uh…” The Sword Crown’s face twitched a little. Lil Fox was right, but being straightforward was somewhat hurtful to him.
“The point is, I’ll figure out a way to buy time,” he said.
Awhile later, several rays of light arrived above the City Hall. There were three people in golden armor above the building, bearing rampant and unmatched momentum.
Every single one of them was Pseudo Immortal!
They were none other than the enforcers from the Holy City.
“According to what we got, the foreigner who killed Ancient Sparrow City Lord is in this City Hall. Hmph. What an arrogant one.”
“This is actually the first.”
“Not bad I’d say.”
The three Pseudo Immortals chatted with a serious look on their faces.
Then, they saw the Sword Crown and Lil Fox in the yard.
“Oh, I didn’t expect to see someone else in this structure. Are they with the foreigner?”
“Let’s just take them all out,” one of the enforcers said as if his words could seal other people’s fate.
“Hehe.”
Then, a soft chuckle sounded.
The Sword Crown, with his jug of alcohol in his hand, said, “Enforcers from the Holy City, huh? What an impressive bearing.”
“Who are you?” One of the enforcers was slightly surprised at the Sword Crown’s calm reaction.
The other elderly enforcer beside him took a careful look at the Sword Crown. All of a sudden, he seemed to remember something, and his pupils shrank. He flew down to the ground and said reverently, “Please excuse our rude manners for not recognizing you, Sword Crown.”
The other two enforcers gasped upon hearing the words.
Sword Crown?
One of the Seven Crowns of Planquilon Immortal World?
Everyone was shocked by the name. Rumor had it that the Sword Crown had disappeared for many years.
Why would he be in the City Hall?
“The one you’ve come for is under my protection. You guys can leave,” the Sword Crown said.
The enforcers exchanged a quick look, looking slightly hesitant.
“If the Sword Crown is looking after this person, we won’t interfere. However, I heard rumors that your Thousand Lotus Sword Intent is unmatched. I am also a sword cultivator, and I’ve admired you for a while. I was hoping that you could enlighten me a little.”
The elder who recognized the Sword Crown said with his eyes glimmering.
Then, he drew a sword and unleashed a vast sword qi at the Sword Crown.
A loud bang later, the Sword Crown was sent sliding backward as blood spat out his mouth.
The other two enforcers were shocked by the scene.
“Is this the infamous Sword Crown?”
“A fake?”
The elder who attacked the Sword Crown smiled. “I heard from the City Lord that the Sword Crown once fought the Saber Crown and suffered irreversible injuries. He has since become a crippled person. It seems like that’s true.”
“If that punk Saber Crown did not resolve in tricks, I would never lose to him! Hmph!” The Sword Crown grunted coldly.
The Sword Crown had a complicated look on his face when the Saber Crown was mentioned. There was hate mixed with a little reminiscence in his eyes.
It seemed like the Saber Crown reminded him of someone else..
