Chapter 982 Heading to the Hundred Academy, Continuously Mastering Source Energies
Chu Kuangren, the Guqin Crown, and the others were gathered inside the Cloud Nine Insignia Manor, talking about Divine Dragon Island.
“With the Dragon Bachelor’s death, I believe they won’t let this off the hook so easily. Brother Chu, you have to be careful,” the Guqin Crown said to Chu Kuangren. The Cloud Nine Insignia Manor was under the Guqin Crown’s protection. Since she did not directly cause the death of the Dragon Bachelor, she was not afraid of the Divine Dragon Island coming after her.
However, the same could not be said for Chu Kuangren. “Oceanic Sword Grave, Holy Divine Fire Cult, the Holy City, Golden Ridge Temple, and Sycamore Mountain have filled our plates full. And now with Divine Dragon Island… Master, you seem to be extremely good at causing trouble,” the Sword Crown said helplessly after a deep breath.
Even during his prime, the Sword Crown could barely deal with the aforementioned forces. Yet now, Chu Kuangren, a mere Immortal Progeny, successfully offended all the immortal orthodoxies of Planquilon Immortal World.
He could only describe this as insanity.
“I just killed a couple of Immortal Progenies. It’s nothing serious,” Chu Kuangren simply said.
He knew what he was doing. His powers were on par with an Immortal now. With the Sword Crown in his company, unless all the immortal orthodoxies teamed up and sent several Immortals to take him down, he did not have to be afraid of them.
The immortal orthodoxies were rivals among themselves. To team up against him without sharing a common goal or having a sizable profit, they could not risk their Immortals just to kill him.
“Let’s put the other immortal orthodoxies aside. The only problematic ones are the Divine Dragon Island and Sycamore Mountain, these two ancient tribes.
“No one really knows how powerful they really are and how many Immortals they have. Only another immortal ancient orthodoxy could rival them, and as for that immortal ancient orthodoxy…”
Chu Kuangren pondered. “Oh right, why is the Divine Dragon Island after the Cloud Nine Insignia?” The Sword Crown suddenly switched the topic.
“They wanted to use it as a bridewealth,” the Guqin Crown said. “Bridewealth?”
“Yes. The Golden Dragons’ young master of Divine Dragon Island wanted to marry a Sycamore Mountain’s Phoenix Maiden. It was said that the current ruler of Sycamore Mountain has some attainments in Guqin Dao and is a collector of all kinds of famous guqin.
“That is why the young master sent Jin Yi here to snatch the Cloud Nine Insignia as a bridewealth,” the Guqin Crown said.
The Sword Crown furrowed his brows.
“What’s going on? The two Divine Beast Tribes are getting together?”
The marriage between the two Divine Beast Tribes was a huge matter.
It would definitely shake up the entire Planquilon Immortal World. Those Yokai Tribes would never sit back and let that happen.
“Both tribes had not announced the union yet. But according to reliable sources, the higher-ups of both sides share the same opinion. Jin Yi would not have come for the Cloud Nine Insignia otherwise.”
“No wonder you held the Cloud Nine Banquet. You were pressured by the two Divine Beast Tribes,” the Sword Crown ridiculed.
No matter how strong the Guqin Crown was, she was not strong enough to face both the Divine Beast Tribes. However, she did not want to give away the Cloud Nine Insignia so simply, hence the Cloud Nine Banquet.
“I was not entirely pressured. A while back, the Cloud Nine Insignia reacted, and I thought it was some Guqin Immortal affirming their Dao. I thought of using this chance to meet this Guqin Immortal, but who knew it would be you, Brother Chu,” the Guqin Crown said to Chu Kuangren.
The few of them continued the chat for a while before a sword ray flew in from outside.
The ray transformed into a jade token and landed on Xue Qinxin’s palm. Xue Qinxin was slightly surprised by the token. “This is a notice from the academy… What? I have to take the exam in six months?”
“Academy? The Hundred Academy?” Chu Kuangren asked in surprise.
“Yes.”
“Ms. Xue, are you a student of Hundred Academy?”
“Yes, and not only that. The academy just informed me to take the exam in six months,” Xue Qinxin said.
The students of Hundred Academy had to take exams once in a while, and if they failed, they would be punished in all kinds of ways.
Some serious punishments included being expelled from the academy.
“Hundred Academy? Maybe it’s time for me to pay them a visit,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
He had the thought of visiting a while ago.
Hundred Academy had amazing resources and influence. It was also an immortal ancient orthodoxy that could rival Sycamore Mountain and Divine Dragon Island.
Moreover, the academy was home to many codex, tomes, cultivation scriptures, and techniques. That knowledge might be able to give him a hand in creating his source energy.
“Brother Chu, are you going to the Hundred Academy?” Xue Qinxin was intrigued by what he said.
Chu Kuangren nodded. “I planned to.”
“Great. Let’s go together,” Xue Qinxin said excitedly.
At the side, the Sword Crown was deep in his thoughts. “The Hundred Academy is an immortal ancient orthodoxy, on par with Sycamore Mountain and Divine Dragon Island. If you can join the academy, the other orthodoxies might want to think twice about picking a fight with you.”
He believed Chu Kuangren wanted to seek refuge at the academy. Chu Kuangren did not say anything either.
After spending days in Cloud Nine Insignia, Xue Qinxin packed up for the exam at Hundred Academy
Chu Kuangren and company also tagged along. Xue Qinxin would tell stories about Hundred Academy to Chu Kuangren along the way, helping him to understand the academy more.
Among the stories he heard, the most frequent mention was the twelve masters of the academy. The twelve masters were the most well-known lecturers with high cultivation levels and wisdom.
The twelfth master of the academy excelled in Bow Dao. With a bow and arrow in hand, even an Immortal would have to be careful in front of him.
The tenth master was great at refining pills. It was said that he once refined an Immortal Pill.
The ninth master was good at talismans, and the eighth master mastered formations…
All twelve masters excelled in their respective fields, and people always talked about them.
Above the twelve masters would be the dean of Hundred Academy, one of the few most powerful cultivators in all of Planquilon Immortal World.
His cultivation level surpassed even the Seven Crowns.
“The twelve masters and the dean of Hundred Academy? Hmm, interesting. I’m looking forward to it,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
Meanwhile, in a room inside a battleship, Chu Kuangren unleashed a unique source energy fluctuation.
It was the Chaos source energy as his Chaos Physique had finally upgraded to an Immortal Physique. With the lesson from before, he set up some heavy restriction seals around him to isolate the Immortal Physique’s energy fluctuation.
Using his Immortal Physique, he successfully mastered the Chaos Source.
“The next would be the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
Since he had upgraded the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart and Chaos Physique, he got better at upgrading Daoist Physiques to Immortal Physiques.
A month later, his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique had also reached the ranks of Immortal Physiques.
Heavenly Golden Imperial Source, mastered.
Half a month later, the Dark Descent Physique was upgraded.
Dark Descent Source, mastered.
Ten days later, the Infallible Tormented Physique was upgraded.
Infallible Tormented Source, mastered.
In three months, Chu Kuangren had successfully ascended all thirteen Daoist Physiques and mastered thirteen new source energies.
“The Tome of Physiques is really something else. I guess using the essence of upgrading to master all kinds of source energies was the right choice,” he muttered.
That was not the end, though. He might not have mastered all of Firmament Star’s Three Thousand Daoist Physiques, but he had comprehended almost a hundred of them.
He could continue upgrading his Daoist Physique to master the source energy.
