Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 1180: Cao Yun’s Heartfelt Admiration, Chan Sect Daoist Ground, Jade Void Palace Appears

Chu Kuangren stood with his hands behind his back. His aura remained surging.

His cultivation level was no higher than the top Heavenly Champions. Like them, he was also a Heavenly Immortal, so he was not that overpowering.

However, his combat strength preceded his current cultivation realm.

Other than terrifying, no one present had another word to describe his combat strength.

“If there’s no answer, it means no one has the guts too,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.

There was a hint of contempt in his chuckle, which put a heavy look on some of the Heavenly Champions’ faces.

“Arrogant much?”

“The Hundred Academy’s Chief is really p*ssing me off.”

Despite their mutters, no one did anything.

With the strength that Chu Kuangren displayed, no one had the confidence to escape with their lives if they were to fight Chu Kuangren, let alone win against him.

Other than an Immortal Herb, there were no other peerless Opportunities of Fortune around. It would be unwise to engage with Chu Kuangren now.

“Chu Kuangren, you shall forever be the Immortal Hall’s nemesis!”

Zhi Lei grunted from the clouds, his eyes frosty. Four Heavenly Champions, including Lil Zhurong, had already died in the hands of Chu Kuangren, and now, the successor of Titan was dead too. In total, Chu Kuangren had killed five Heavenly Champions of the Immortal Hall.

Although the strongest six Young Imperial Commanders were still in reserve, the fallen Heavenly Champions were not just any common cultivators.

They were supposed to be the future pillars of support to the Immortal Hall.

“Chu Kuangren, eh? I think I might lose if I fight him,” Chi Zhan said as he stared at Chu Kuang from the back. Despite verbally admitting defeat, the battle intent in his eyes did not diminish at all.

However, if even the battle fanatic Chi Zhan willingly admitted defeat, it only proved how powerful and terrifying Chu Kuangren’s strength was.

“That is why now is not the time to engage with him. Just wait a little longer. I will prepare a suitable battlefield for you,” the Soul Vanquisher said.

Then, the Soul Vanquisher looked at Chu Kuangren, and his eyes glinted. “Chu Kuangren, I’m looking forward to killing you.”

In the clouds, Zhuo Donglai had a grim look on his face. He originally wanted to challenge Chu Kuangren, but on second thought, he decided to be patient for now. “This is just one of my clones in Kunlun. Although it has half of my strength, going against someone like Chu Kuangren won’t do me any good.

“Losing is one thing, but if I embarrassed myself in front of Yu Zhi, the consequences would be unimaginable. Chu Kuangren… I won’t forget you.”

A hint of frostiness appeared in Zhuo Donglai’s eyes. The only opponents he had ever acknowledged were the six Young Imperial Commanders of the Immortal Hall and the Embodier successors.

Yet now, Chu Kuangren’s name had secured a place on his list.

…

“Chief!”

Wang Chentian and the other Heavenly Champions came up to him.

Their eyes on Chu Kuangren were overflowing with respect, reverence, and admiration.

“Are you guys okay?”

“We’re fine.”

“This is no place to speak. Let’s get out of here.”

Then, the group took the Immortal Herb and went to a quiet place before they inquired about how each other was doing lately.

Some of them were worried that the meeting between Chu Kuangren and Cao Yun would spark conflict and end up in a fight.

After all, Cao Yun was once the highly reputed candidate to take the position of Hundred Academy’s Chief, but the title was eventually given to Chu Kuangren.

“Greetings, Chief.”

To everyone’s surprise, Cao Yun showed no intentions to fight Chu Kuangren. Instead, he bowed respectfully.

Everyone else was awestruck.

“Cao Yun, you… That’s it?” Wang Chentian teased.

Cao Yun rolled his eyes and said seriously, “I did think of challenging the Chief before I met him. But now that I’ve seen what the Chief can do, I realize I’m no match for him. He has earned the title fair and square, and I submit willingly.”

There was even a hint of respect in his tone.

His words represented his truest thoughts.

The others sighed a breath of relief at his response.

As fellow Heavenly Champions from the academy, they did not want to see Cao Yun fighting Chu Kuangren just because of the title of Chief.

“Chief, we will have to trouble you to lead us from now on,” Cao Yun said.

Before Chu Kuangren arrived, everyone listened to Cao Yun’s lead. However, with him here now, he, as Chief, should take over the position to lead.

“Okay.” Chu Kuangren did not reject the suggestion.

Then, under Chu Kuangren’s lead, the team ventured into Kunlun Secret Realm. With his lead and Lil Fox’s ability to ignore restrictions, their gains from this trip doubled.

“Another Top-tier Immortal Herb,” Hua Yun praised as she carefully sized up the Immortal Herb plant that Lil Fox had brought back.

Most of the Opportunities of Fortunes in Kunlun Secret Realm were Immortal Herbs.

Chu Kuangren and company had gotten around ten Top-tier Immortal Herb plants, and some were even on par with Primordial Spirit Daoist Fruit.

It was almost foreseeable that with all those Immortal Herbs, the academy would welcome several more Heavenly Immortals.

On that day, Chu Kuangren and the others located another Immortal Herb plant.

What followed was the discovery of the remains of a forest realm, seemingly left behind by a certain grand cultivator of Kunlun.

They found a lot of pills and jade scrolls with cultivation techniques inside, including a copy of the Jade Void Primordial Scriptures.

It was considered quite a harvest.

“The Jade Void Primordial Scriptures? Could this cultivator who used to reside in this forest realm be related to the Chan Sect?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Back in ancient immortal times, two cults reigned the realm — Jie Sect from Penglai Island and Chan Sect from Kunlun.

The reputation of the two sects was widely known throughout history, be it in the ancient immortal times or the present day.

The Jie Sect was known for being a place of worship for all Buddhas and a hub of travel for all Immortals, whereas the Chan Sect had twelve Gilded Immortals who were famous on their own during ancient immortal times, and everyone knew them.

“Legend has it the Chan Sect resides in Kunlun. I wonder if I’ll be able to locate some of the sect’s inheritance here.” Chu Kuangren wondered.

It was at that moment that the void around them trembled.

Further away, a white pillar of light shot up into the sky, and a sea of mist gushed out from one of the corners, blanketing the land.

An Immortal mountain emerged from the mist.

All the cultivators who sensed its energy fluctuation immediately went after it.

Countless cultivators arrived at the Immortal mountain and activated their Immortal Consciousness to explore the mountain.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a terrace of towers and jade pavilions lined up in an orderly fashion. There were also numerous Immortal trees surrounding the place, and crystal clear dews covered its leaves, giving out a colorful glint as they reflected the sun and the moon’s light.

Among all the pavilions and towers was a palace shrouded in clouds and gleamed with Immortal Sparks.

One could faintly make out three words at the front — Jade Void Palace!

All the cultivators who saw the place gasped in awe. They were overwhelmed by the discovery.

“It’s the Jade Void Palace!”

“Oh my goodness! Is this really the Jade Void Palace? Legend has it that this is the Daoist ground of the Chan Sect Ruler, the Divine Primeval Imperial, who is an Embodier Arch Gilded Immortal!”

“This is Jade Void Palace? It’s really majestic.”

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Some of the cultivators could not wait to have a peek inside.

However, the restriction seals shone from the clouds, revealing vortices that released an enormous amount of spiritual qi into the air.

Some of the cultivators on the scene were blasted into mists of blood.

“The restriction seals in the clouds is a tough one,” said one of the cultivators with a grim look.
