Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

“Millenniums, you say?”

Chu Kuangren looked deep in thought. Then, he opened his mouth to speak. “No, just use them as fast as we can. We don’t have to be stingy about the resources. Please spend all these resources on our disciples, and try to finish them all up within a century or even a decade!”

Everyone gasped when they heard what Chu Kuangren said.

What?!

Finish up all the resources within a decade?!

This was way too outrageous!

“I understand that you have doubts over this, my dear elders, but you do know that with the Heavenly Punishment Seal, I’m just like any normal folk now. I need Nangong Huang and the others to grow as rapidly as they can. Hence, we shouldn’t be stingy on those resources.”

“Besides, all those disciples who chose to remain and fight along the Black Heaven Sect should be heavily prioritized in our training. Now is the best time for them to improve their cultivation, and the expenditure of resources must keep up to speed too.”

All of them immediately understood Chu Kuangren’s intentions after hearing what he said.

The Black Heaven Sect was no longer lacking in resources.

What they lacked were skilled cultivators!

Skilled cultivators who could take the world by storm!

Prior to this, this person was Chu Kuangren.

Now that he had the seal on him, his power had been significantly reduced. There was no other Chu Kuangren in this world, so the Black Heaven Sect must urgently cultivate a new generation of skilled cultivators. This would allow them to take better control of situations in the future and defend themselves against any enemies from the outside.

They could even have a go at this Era of Great Battles.

“We understand now.” Elder Ruyan nodded before she looked back at Chu Kuangren with a concerned look in her eyes.

The rest of them reacted the same way.

They had already heard of the incredible terror that the Heavenly Punishment Seal brought. Any normal cultivator would feel extremely devastated when their spiritual power was stripped off like that and made them into normal folks.

Imagine what it felt like for an unparalleled sky-pride like Chu Kuangren.

From their perspective, Chu Kuangren must feel incredibly awful right now, yet he did not show any of that in front of them. Instead, he kept himself busy in dealing with the Black Heaven Sect’s internal affairs.

He was a strong kid, and their hearts ached for him.

Chu Kuangren noticed the looks that they were giving him too, and he felt a little puzzled.

Hey, hey, hey. Why did everyone look like they were going to tear up?

Had he done something wrong?

“Cough. Let’s stick with this for now. I shall leave the overall planning to all of you. Also, my elders, you’re all Honorable and Honorable Supremes, so if you need any resources, please feel free to take any and use them.”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.

These elders all had chances at ascension. With all those resources that he had brought back, it should suffice for them to succeed in their respective ascensions.

By then, the Black Heaven Sect would have a few more Sages.

In today’s tumultuous times, only by having a sufficient number of Sages could they refer to themselves as a strong force.

Those Honorable Supremes in the past had now become rather ordinary.

Chu Kuangren left Longevity Hall and went back to the Towering Heavenly Palace.

For the next few days, the Black Heaven Sect continued to operate in an organized manner. Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren remained in the Towering Heavenly Palace, attempting to gain insight into the Heavenly Punishment Seal.

In the outside world, things were changing at a fast pace as well.

…

There were some serious repercussions to the great battle at the Black Heaven Sect. The fall of six Sage Rulers and Boundary Emperors had made the six unknown lands suffer an unprecedented loss. Despite that, they did not have the courage to go back and seek revenge on Chu Kuangren.

Even though their enemy now had the Heavenly Punishment Seal, they still did not dare to.

That was because the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation was still there.

More importantly, no one knew whether Chu Kuangren had another trump card under his sleeves.

As long as this guy was still breathing, there was no one in this world who would dare to attack the Black Heaven Sect, no matter how ordinary of a person he had become.

Anyhow, the Black Heaven Sect remained hidden within the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation — away from the outside world.

From that day onward, the Black Heaven Sect was like a forbidden ground. They were unreachable and undetectable.

With Chu Kuangren gone, sky-prides of the Firmament Star sprung up like bamboo shoots after the spring rain. They were all competing to impress the world by showcasing all the strengths that they had.

Apart from that, following the reveal of the Heavenly Golden Palace and the rest of the five great unknown lands to the realm, the remaining unknown lands gradually introduced themselves to the world too.

The Firmament Star was ushering in a brand new era.

Approximately half a year later.

After the Qian Imperial Palace, the second Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune appeared in the realm. Countless sky-prides went forth to pursue it, but in the end, Heavenly Golden Palace’s Xiao Lintian emerged as the victor.

It was just as the unknown lands had anticipated.

Since the Qian Imperial Palace, many great Emperors’ Opportunities of Fortune emerged successively. All the sky-prides grabbed hold of this opportunity to make a name for themselves, rushing to catch up to the older generation of elites.

The Era of Great Battles ensued, and it became more exciting.

Despite that, some people had a feeling that something was missing.

“We’re missing a madman like Kuangren.”

Inside a random inn, a white-robed old man said sentimentally while sipping his wine. “There are indeed numerous sky-prides out there now. I’m loving all the buzz, but we’re lacking an extraordinary talent who can truly trump everyone in the world.”

Everyone else in the inn agreed with what he said.

Back then, when Chu Kuangren was still around, his sole brilliance outshone everyone else and grabbed everyone’s attention.

Now, all sky-prides had an open competition with each other, not giving each other any chance of one-upping themselves. This free-for-all competitiveness was healthy, but there was no dominating figure.

Although the scene was buzzing, it did not leave a lasting impression on the spectators.

In contrast, the Chu Kuangren back in the day had people hating on him, revering him, and fearing him. No matter hate, fear, or respect, no one would write off his capability. That was the guy who stole the limelight and defined a whole era.

It was not that the sky-prides nowadays were not good enough. They were just not as good, impressive, or unforgettable as Chu Kuangren once was.

“It’s truly the end of an era.”

One of the inn’s patrons said with great sentiment.

Just then, right outside the inn, a beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky.

An extremely strong spatial fluctuation was produced.

It captured everybody’s attention.

“What is that?”

“Could it be yet another Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune?”

“It doesn’t look like it. There’s no Emperor’s Aura.”

“Can somebody tell me what that is?”

The crowd was quite taken aback by that.

Only that white-robed old man who was sitting at one inconspicuous corner knew what was up. He took a glance at the beam of light, and surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he curled his lips and said, “Looks like the people from the heavens above can’t wait any longer too. They’ve descended to our mortal realm for a tour it seems.”

On top of a mountain on Firmament Star.

Suddenly, a beam of light jetted down from the skies, which generated an incredibly powerful spatial fluctuation. It shocked more than half of the cultivators on Firmament Star.

All the great one stared at that beam of light, seemingly anticipating something.

“My name is Xiao Jingchen. People of Heavenly Golden Palace, come meet me at once!!” A white-robed young man was seen stepping out of the beam of light. His commanding voice echoed throughout the entire place. The first thing he did was demand for the people of Heavenly Golden Palace.

Several flashes of light swooped across the scene.

These people were all elders from the Heavenly Golden Palace.

They looked at the white-robed young man, startled. “Xiao Jingchen… You’re that Xiao Jingchen, the first Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique of the Heavenly Golden Palace from tens of thousand years ago? Why are you here?!”

“Long story short, I’ve come from the Nine Heavens this time to pursue the Emperors’ Opportunities of Fortune on Firmament Star. I hope that all of you will give me a hand.”

Xiao Jingchen said indifferently.

The elders were all incredibly emotional when they heard what he said.

This guy was the Heavenly Golden Palace’s first ever Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, the legend in their history books. In terms of raw power, he was definitely much stronger than his successor, Xiao Lintian.

“We will all give our best!”

“Very well. Go back and make the necessary preparations. It’s not just me. Those folks from the Nine Heavens will soon arrive as well.”

Xiao Jingchen said flatly, “I’ve been in a deep slumber for so long waiting for this day. This time, no one can stop me on my road to becoming an Emperor!”

Within a few months after Xiao Jingchen showed up, more beams of light descended from the skies. One after another, sky-prides with unfamiliar faces gradually showed up in the realm.

With that, the two words ‘Nine Heavens’ slowly began to grab the headlines.
