Chapter 978 Divine Dragon Island Dragon Bachelor, The Arrival of Guqin Crown, Cloud Nine Insignia

“I have heard a lot about the Cloud Nine Insignia but never had the chance to see it. Today, I will be able to see it with my own eyes.”

“I agree. I wonder what the legendary Guqin Crown looks like too. I’m looking forward to

it.”

All the guqin masters and cultivators gathered at an empty field within the manor just so they could catch a glimpse of the Immortal Weapon.

“The Cloud Nine Insignia is going to be mine!”

Then, a cold voice echoed.

A middle-aged man in white robes slowly came over with a guqin tied to his back. There was energy swirling around him, emanating a powerful source energy fluctuation.

He might not be an Immortal, but he was close to one.

The man was considered a peak-staged Half-Immortal who had started on his Immortal Path.

The crowd was in awe at his arrival.

“It’s him! Guqin Master Tian Yue!”

“I heard he has passed the Ninth Doom of the Three Disaster and Nine Dooms — the Fire Tribulation! He must be powerful, and I heard his strength is only second to an Immortal!” “Aside from the Guqin Crown, this man is the top among the guqin masters! He really has come to the Cloud Nine Banquet!”

Astonishment filled the crowd.

It was at that moment, Immortal Sparks shone further away, and following a terrifying sword intent, a man in green clothes came over slowly.

At his arrival, some of the crowd’s pupils shrunk in shock.

“It’s him! One of Planquilon’s Dual Swords, Dugu Yu of Spiritual Empyrean Mountain! He’s one of the Twelve Kings of the Immortal Progenies!”

“I did not expect the presence of a King Immortal Progeny!”

Planquilon’s Dual Swords referred to the two most outstanding Sword Dao Immortal Progenies among the younger generations of Planquilion Immortal World.

They were Dugu Yu of Spiritual Empyrean Mountain and the elder senior brother of Dragon Roar Sword Orthodoxy, Ye Feichen. Both of them were also two of the Twelve Kings of the Immortal Progenies.

Dugu Yu scanned the crowd and said coldly, “Someone here awakened the Sword Dao Immortal Physique a few days ago. Who could it be?”

The crowd came to a realization when they heard what he said.

He came because of the Sword Dao Immortal Physique, but that was fair too because Dugu Yu was a sword cultivator.

However, since Chu Kuangren barely stepped out of his room for the past few days, no one knew it was him who had awakened the Sword Dao Immortal Physique.

Dugu Yu’s question did not meet with an answer, so he stepped aside quietly. Other than looking for the one who awakened the Sword Dao Immortal Physique, he also came to see the infamous Cloud Nine Insignia. The arrival of Guqin Master Tian Yue and Dugu Yu added more liveliness to the event. Then, more famous guqin masters and cultivators arrived one after another.

“It’s Prince Yuan Xu of the Great Yuan Divine Dynasty! He’s one of the strongest Supreme Immortal Progenies out there!” “Lady Qing Yue is here too! She’s considered one of the elites in Guqin Dao among the younger generation, together with the Guqin Crown’s eminent disciple, Qin Feng!” “There’s Shang Chanjuan as well! She used to be an eminent disciple of the Guqin Crown as well, but she was said to be an extremist in Guqin Dao and was called the Guqin Demon. The Guqin Crown disliked her, so she traveled the world all year long, but she’s finally back now.”

Further away in a loft, Chu Kuangren yawned as he watched the younger Immortal Progenies and famed guqin masters show up. “When is this Cloud Nine Insignia going to show itself?”

He, too, had come here for the insignia. As for the others, he was not intrigued at all.

“Mother will come out of closed-door meditation today, so you’ll be able to see the Cloud Nine Insignia later. But Brother Chu, do you know anything about guqin?” Xue Qinxin asked out of curiosity.

Chu Kuangren nodded. “I know a thing or two.”

The Sword Crown and Lil Fox reacted strangely to his words. One of them rolled her eyes, and the other’s mouth twitched.

A thing or two?

He had affirmed his Dao with a guqin already, and yet he was claiming he only knew a thing or two?!

Xue Qinxin was not overly concerned. She simply believed Chu Kuangren and his claim. After all, who would have thought that an Immortal Progeny who had awakened the Sword Dao Immortal Physique and possessed unmatched sword technique could affirm his Dao with guqin.

It sounded impossible.

Roar!

Just as Chu Kuangren was waiting for the Cloud Nine Insignia to appear, a dragon’s roar suddenly echoed in the sky.

The cloud rumbled violently, and a golden dragon’s shadow appeared with an unmatched aura and terrifying energy that shocked everyone.

Even Chu Kuangren was attracted by the roar. “Dragon Tribe…”

The golden dragon then transformed into a handsome man with golden long robes. His appearance attracted everyone’s attention.

“The Dragon Tribe of Divine Dragon Island is here as well?!”

“My goodness. Even the Divine Beast is here for a piece of the cake?”

“There are five attributes of a True Dragon, and his dragon form is golden color, which should be a metal attribute. Tsk, tsk. I have never heard of anyone in the Dragon Tribe who is good at Guqin Dao.”

The crowd gasped in awe.

Their eyes glimmered in admiration as they stared at the golden dragon. “I am Jin Yi of Divine Dragon Island, and I am here today for the Cloud Nine Insignia,” he said.

His words put a slight frown on some.

Judging from his tone, he seemed determined to get the Cloud Nine Insignia. If they were to go up against him, would it mean going up against Divine Dragon Island?

The thought discouraged a lot of them.

Divine Dragon Island was definitely one of the top forces in Planquilon Immortal World. They originated from ancient Immortal times. Even the Holy Divine Fire Cult and Holy City, both immortal orthodoxies, paled in comparison.

Being on the opposite side would be suicidal if one did not possess some incredible background.

“Only the worthy shall possess the Cloud Nine Insignia. If the insignia acknowledges the True Dragon, it will surely be yours.”

A clear voice sounded in response to his words.

Then, a lavender-colored guqin surrounded by Immortal Sparks came down from the sky and stopped in front of everyone. Its vast aura swept across the field and forced a lot of the guqin masters and cultivators backward. A fluttering figure flew out from the mountains and appeared beside the lavender-colored guqin. She was in a white long, simple but elegant dress. No heavy makeup was put on, and yet her fairy-like beauty impressed everyone present. The lady was none other than the famed Guqin Crown.

The guqin before her was the reason why the crowd gathered. It was an ancient Immortal guqin that was said to be played by none — the Cloud Nine Insignia.

“Is this the Cloud Nine Insignia? It really lives up to its name.”

“A great Immortal guqin with magnificent Immortal Sparks.”

The crowd looked at the guqin with a blazing gaze.

Jin Yi’s eyes almost shone like gold as he stared at it. “Sycamore wood as its front and taxus as its foundation… This is the legendary Immortal guqin, Cloud Nine Insignia!”

“Great eyesight you have there, Dragon Bachelor. But in order to play this guqin, it will depend on your capabilities,” the Guqin Crown said.

With a fling of her sleeve, a stone table appeared, and the Cloud Nine Insignia was put on it. Then, restriction seals were set up around the guqin, intersecting like the strings of the guqin.

“Fellow cultivators, since the Cloud Nine Insignia is here, let the Cloud Nine Banquet begin. However, no mediocre cultivators are allowed to lay a finger on it. Those who wish to play it must first get past my restriction seals,” the Guqin Crown said before she stepped aside.

Xue Qinxin walked up to her from not far away.

“Mother, you are finally out.”

“Mmhm.” The Guqin Crown nodded with a smile. Following that, she noticed Chu Kuangren and company behind her daughter.

Her eyes widened when her eyes landed on the Sword Crown. A deep breath later, she said, “Li Juexin, you’re finally back.”

“Hi, old friend. It’s been a while.” The Sword Crown smiled.

The Guqin Crown then looked at Chu Kuangren with intrigued eyes. “If I am correct, this handsome young man here must be Chu Kuangren.” “Greetings, Guqin Crown.” Chu Kuangren bowed.

“Sword Crown, you have really become his follower?”

“Yes.” The Sword Crown nodded.

The Guqin Crown then carefully sized up Chu Kuangren. “You must have something great to make the Sword Crown your follower. Apologies for not welcoming you in the past few days as I was in closed-door meditation.”

“You are too kind, Guqin Crown. Ms. Xue here welcomed us with open hands, and we are grateful for that,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

A few courteous exchanges later, they directed their attention to the Cloud Nine Banquet.
