Chapter 1377: A Chat With Hua Wu Ai, I’ll Help You Become King, Climbing the Spire Once More

“The first ever Equinox Flower in the universe, undead and indestructible. It reincarnates every three thousand years…”

Chu Kuangren was shocked as he read Hua Wu Ai’s information.

‘The first ever Equinox Flower…’

That information was no joke. After all, it meant that she was an ancient being who was the very source of her entire species’ lineage.

Normally, those ancient beings would be incredibly terrifying in terms of power, just like the first Golden Crow, the first True Dragon, the first Godly Phoenix, and so on. Without exception, they were all top-tier Embodiers.

Each of them represented the pinnacle of a certain path of Dao within the universe!

Hence, he could not believe that the Hua Wu Ai before him was one of those beings. If that was the case, how could she be here in the Interstellar Arena? Was that even allowed?

Chu Kuangren was a little in disbelief.

Having recovered from his shock, his questions were soon answered as Lil Ai’s analysis was conducted in more detail.

Currently, Hua Wu Ai was not yet an Embodier Realm cultivator. On the contrary, she was only a True Immortal, just like him.

However, the fact that she was the very first Equinox Flower in the universe was still true.

“Is it reincarnation then?” Chu Kuangren murmured.

The only known reincarnation mechanisms could be found in the three great Underworld cities, which were Fengdu, Yincao, and Taishan.

Before Chu Kuangren’s arrival, Fengdu City’s reincarnation mechanism was severely damaged to the point that it could not operate. In that case, did she reincarnate via Yincao or Taishan City’s reincarnation mechanism instead?

That was not possible either.

She was the very first Equinox Flower in the universe, after all. Perhaps she possessed some unknown method of reincarnation.

As the undying and indestructible Equinox Flower, did she possess samsara energy that transcended even the three great Underworld cities?

Chu Kuangren’s interest grew the more he learned about Hua Wu Ai.

“So, you’ve seen through my true identity. As expected of the one with a non-existent fate, you truly are an impressive cultivator,” Hua Wu Ai said while looking at Chu Kuangren.

She could not help but feel surprised when hearing him mumble the word “reincarnation”.

Everyone in the world knew her as the Equinox Tribe’s Maiden Sage. However, Chu Kuangren was the second person to know her true identity at first glance.

As for the first person… It was the ancient Divine Underworld Daoist.

Remembering that Chu Kuangren also possessed the same Heavenly Samsara Physique as the Divine Underworld Daoist, Hua Wu Ai’s curiosity was piqued. Did the Heavenly Samsara Physique hosts have a special connection with her?

However, she stopped thinking about it right after and looked at Chu Kuangren. She said, “I’ve come to see you and confirm something.”

“What is it?”

“Whether you are a person with a non-existent fate.”

“How do you plan to do that?”

“You’ll have to follow me to somewhere known as the River Wangchuan!”

The River Wangchuan was an ancient river that had been around forever in the Underworld.

It was said that a Three-Lives Stone could be found on its riverside. By standing near that stone, one could see their past, present, and future lives reflected on the river water’s surface.

Even the Arch Gilded elites would shudder at the thought of the River Wangchuan.

“I know the River Wangchuan is located in the Underworld. However, there are still quite a few things I still have to do in the world of living. Hence, I can’t follow you there right away. However, as Fengdu’s Ghost Emperor, I’ve promised Shenshu I’ll rebuild the Underworld city again. One day, I shall return to the Underworld and bring law and order there. When that day comes, I’ll gladly visit you in the Underworld,” said Chu Kuangren.

Upon hearing that, Hua Wu Ai nodded and then turned around to leave.

Chu Kuangren was surprised. ‘That’s it? She’s leaving?’

“Answer me this. Why have you come to see me? Is it because I’m the one with a non-existent fate, just as you mentioned earlier?”

“Hm… Perhaps. But it’s partly because you possess the same Immortal Physique as him.”

“The Divine Underworld Daoist?”

“That’s right. He was my one true friend in the Underworld and the only person who can help me break free from this never-ending cycle of reincarnation,” Hua Wu Ai said calmly.

However, Chu Kuangren could feel a hint of loneliness through her words.

She was the first-ever Equinox Flower in the universe that would reincarnate every three thousand years. Regardless of what level of cultivation she had, she still could not break free from the cycle of reincarnation.

People said she was immortal, but in reality, she was trapped in a cycle of reincarnation. Every time she reincarnated, she had to start over at the very beginning again.

Hua Wu Ai paused for a moment before saying, “When you come to the River Wangchuan and have proved yourself to be a person with non-existing fate, I shall pledge my allegiance and… help you become king!”

The other sky-prides did not react when they heard that.

That was because they were all in the dark when it came to Chu Kuangren and Hua Wu Ai’s conversation. None of them understood a thing.

Besides, none of them knew of Hua Wu Ai’s true identity. They only knew her as the Equinox Tribe’s Maiden Sage.

As for the great ones, especially those from the Underworld, everyone who heard it was immediately taken aback and frightened.

None of the sky-prides, Chu Kuangren included, understood the weight and meaning behind Hua Wu Ai’s words.

However, how could the great ones from the Underworld not understand her?

She was the first Equinox Flower in the universe. One could only imagine the things she could do in her prime.

Even if she was only a True Immortal now, she resided in the Underworld’s River Wangchuan, where even Arch Gilded Immortals and Embodiers would think twice before going.

If Chu Kuangren were to gain her support, it would undoubtedly secure his chances of becoming the Divine Underworld Daoist!

“What has Chu Kuangren done that Hua Wu Ai would make him such an offer?!”

“Is it because he has the same physique as the Divine Underworld Daoist?”

“Damn it. If Chu Kuangren becomes stronger, he will surely become the next Divine Underworld Daoist. And with Hua Wu Ai’s support, it’s even more likely for him to succeed.”

“This is bad. We must do something about this now.”

The great ones of the Underworld were engaged in a heated discussion.

“Well, I’ll remember your promise. But that said, even without your support, I’ll become the King of the Underworld!” Chu Kuangren said proudly and with utmost confidence as he stood with his hands behind his back.

“I shall wait for that day to come then,” Hua Wu Ai replied with a grin.

At that very instant, the Equinox flowers on the ground paled in comparison to her beauty.

However, that smile went away as fast as it appeared, and Hua Wu Ai’s expression reverted to its usual emotionless.

Right after, a Yin qi vortex appeared before her. She stepped into it and disappeared on the spot, along with the Equinox flowers on the ground.

Only one flower remained, which flew before Chu Kuangren. He grabbed it and kept it inside his Enchanted Sleeve.

Soon, a figure flew out from the Heavenly Dao Spire.

It was Lan Yu.

“The Great Ape Forefather on the nine hundred and ninety-eighth floor is an incredibly terrifying being. I can’t even take a single attack from him.” Lan Yu shook her head and said.

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “The Great Ape Forefather is not an ordinary opponent, so the fact that you made it that far is already an impressive feat.”

Some of the top-tier Prodigies should be around that level too.

“Alright. It’s time I take back the treasure that’s rightfully mine!”

Chu Kuangren looked at the Heavenly Dao Spire with a cold expression.

Everyone immediately became excited.

“Is he finally going to enter the spire?!”

“How exciting. Now that the real Chu Kuangren has arrived, will he succeed and obtain the Heavenly Dao Spire’s final Opportunity of Fortune?”

“The Holy Violet Immortal Emperor’s consciousness has gathered the power from all four Heavenly Dao Spires to stop Chu Kuangren. Regardless of whether Chu Kuangren can overcome that challenge or not, it’s still a shame we can’t witness the battle firsthand.”

Some were excited, while some felt sorry for him.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and released the full power of his aura!

At that instant, the heavens and earth paled in comparison as the surroundings rumbled!!

As if a supreme Immortal King had appeared, Chu Kuangren stepped forth and entered the Heavenly Dao Spire!

A familiar view appeared before him again.

On the first floor, it was the same young swordsman.

However, he was defeated just from Chu Kuangren’s aura!

Chu Kuangren did not even bother to stop. He was merciless and brutal with his attacks. No matter what opponent he faced, they were all blown up with a single move. Chu Kuangren was heading toward the final floor faster than before!

Outside the Heavenly Dao Spire, everyone could only see the Heavenly Dao Spire trembling violently after Chu Kuangren entered. It was as if a terrifying being had entered the spire, with continuous loud noises sounding non-stop from within. Everyone gulped, feeling as if the Heavenly Dao Spire would crumble at any moment.

“Damn. He really is a freaking monster!”
