Chapter 111: If The Ancient Sky-Prides Are To Be Awoken, What Use Is There In Continuing My Cultivation?
“Curious?” Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.
“I’ve met people from all walks of life from all across the world. Some carry the grace of an emperor, some the talents of generals, and some cultivate as sky-prides…”
“This may come off arrogant, but no matter who I meet, be it a godly sage too, I can always vaguely see something about a person.”
“But your Excellency seems to be an exception.”
The divine predictor stopped and stared at Chu Kuangren curiously. “You are an anomaly. I cannot see your future or your past. It’s almost as if you don’t exist in the river of time. It’s bewildering.”
Chu Kuangren frowned.
He did not exist in the river of time?
Was it because he did not originate from this world?
At this thought, a strange feeling crept into his heart.
“Is this a good thing or a bad thing?”
“I don’t know,” The divine predictor shook his head. “But since you’re nowhere to be found in the river of time, none of my predictions will be of use to you. In a way, this also means you do not have to worry that someone would use this against you. I would say that is a good thing.”
Chu Kuangren hummed and nodded in agreement. He opted to not worry about it, because out of sight, out of mind. Things were too unpredictable for him now, be it the river of time or anything else.
Too much thinking would give him a headache, so it was better to just not.
“Lan Yu, prepare some tea for our senior, please.”
“Of course.” Lan Yu poured the divine predictor a cup of tea.
The divine predictor looked at Lan Yu in surprise. “This young lady is quite extraordinary. Her future accomplishments will be as great as the Emperors of Old.”
Those words shocked the Seventh Forefather and the few other protectors.
As great as the Emperors of Old?
That meant that Lan Yu would become an Emperor at least!
What the f*ck?!
They knew that her Heavenly form was great, but for the divine predictor to say that she would be as great as the Emperors of Old was unexpected!
Chu Kuangren was also surprised, but still, he smiled.”Ha! As expected of my Lan Yu! I hope you’ll remember me when you become an Emperor.”
Lan Yu nodded solemnly. “Regardless of whether I become an Emperor or not, I will follow my master forever.”
To Lan Yu, being with Chu Kuangren was still her top priority, whereas becoming an Emperor was not. Of course, being an Emperor would be of great help to her Master.
Chu Kuangren grinned before he continued his conversation with the divine predictor. The divine protector was a well-known figure in this era and must know plenty of secrets, so he tried to get as much information as he could.
Unfortunately, every time Chu Kuangren asked about something vital, the divine protector would say, “it is a secret not to be revealed,” and shut up.
The predictor spoke in circles, hence making Chu Kuangren slightly depressed.
“Since this meeting is fated, I shall reveal a bit more. Though, there is little to hide, for the world will find out very soon.”
“Please, do continue.”
“In roughly half a month, the Great Dharma Emergence will occur, and the forty-nine pieces of Primordial Emperor’s Essence will appear. Those who obtain the essence will be blessed with a higher chance of becoming an Emperor, but a great war will begin once the essence appears. Countless sky-prides will fight it out.”
“This includes the dormant ancient sky-prides who will also awaken one by one. You will have quite the opponent when the time comes, Junior Chu.”
The divine predictor smiled plainly.
The Seventh Forefather made a mental note of the predictor’s words before he prepared for his return to the orthodoxy.
The issue of becoming an Emperor was no small matter.
“I’ve heard of the Primordial Emperor’s Essence.”
Several thoughts flashed through Chu Kuangren’s mind.
Since the Primordial Purple Haze was the foundation for becoming a sage, then the Primordial Emperor’s Essence would be an important treasure for becoming an Emperor.
The essence may not guarantee that one would become an Emperor, but the likelihood would still be far greater than a cultivator who was without the essence.
Regardless, the Emperor’s Essence was much more valuable than the Purple Haze.
If one piece of Primordial Purple Haze would be enough to attract a fight, imagine the attention one would get from forty-nine pieces of Primordial Emperor’s Essence!
Such a great war would be extraordinary!
“Heh, I’d be lucky to get the Emperor’s Essence, but if I don’t, then that’s just my fate. As for the ancient sky-prides, if they’re all like Ao Chang, I’m afraid that none of them are a threat.” Chu Kuangren smiled emotionlessly.
It was unlikely for Ao Chang to take a single hit from him now. Even if the ancient sky-prides were strong, just how much stronger could they be?
As if sensing Chu Kuangren’s disdain, the divine predictor said, “Ao Chang isn’t the only Ancient Sky-pride to exist. He comes from a time that was thirty thousand years ago, where the sky-prides were only slightly stronger than those now.”
“But the older they are, the closer they are to the times of the Emperor, the scarier they are. Back then, some even inherited the full power of an Emperor! The sky-prides from back then are incomparable to those we have now.”
That piqued Chu Kuangren’s interest slightly. “In that case, I look forward to it. I hope it doesn’t disappoint me.”
The divine predictor may be hiding a lot of things, but their conversation also revealed many other astonishing predictions.
At least, it was shocking for the Seventh Forefather and the other protectors.
After sending the divine protector off, the Seventh Forefather walked out of the void.
“In half a month, the Great Dharma Emergence and the Primordial Emperor’s Essence will be a matter of grave importance. We must report back to the orthodoxy and allow them to prepare,” the Seventh Forefather said seriously.
“Indeed. Relay a message to the Honorable Teacher regarding this matter. While you’re at it, let them know that I’ll return in a few days,” Chu Kuangren stated.
The Seventh Forefather responded in surprise, “You’re not going to continue your cultivation?”
“No, there’s nothing to cultivate anymore.” Chu Kuangren shook his head in disappointment. “No one here can match against my sword. Why bother continuing?”
The Seventh Forefather’s mouth twitched as he glanced at him.
Only Chu Kuangren was capable of saying such things that left people with no ways to refute.
Since he was promoted to King of War, even an Honorable cultivator might not hold out against his sword, let alone sky-prides.
The Seventh Forefather had a feeling that Chu Kuangren would no longer require them to protect him soo, and the thought of that shocked them to the core.
He had progressed so much despite only having lived for a short amount of time!
…
Two days later, the demonic onslaught in Northern Lingdao was almost over.
The cultivators that Chu Kuangren sent out had little trouble throughout the whole journey.
When news that Chu Kuangren had slaughtered a hundred thousand demonic cultivators got out, not just Northern Lingdao, but every single demonic cultivator in the whole world was scared half to death. They dared not approach the lands anymore.
Those that remained in the area were frantic to leave as fast as they could.
Slaughtering a hundred thousand demon cultivators?
How was a young man capable of such a feat?
“Terrifying. Chu Kuangren is far too much.”
“F*ck, we can’t say here anymore.”
“This demonic onslaught was basically handled by Chu Kuangren alone! The absolute monster!”
The demon cultivators cowered in fear at Chu Kuangren while the regular cultivators looked up in awe, but the regular folk worshipped and respected him even more.
Some people in Mountain River City even began writing books about Chu Kuangren!
As for the mountain range where the slaughter happened, many people began to call it the Weeping Demon Mountain!
Quite literally where the demons wept.
Later generations would stumble upon the records…
The Emperor, Chu Kuangren, had slaughtered a hundred thousand demon cultivators and saved millions of lives in Northern Lingdao from the flames of agony. Some wrote books that passed down from generation to generation, and others built ancestral halls to worship their savior.
