Zhan Hongying joined the Black Heaven Sect as an expatriate.
Since it was an idle position, there was nothing much for her to do.
"Sect Leader, Heavenly Imperial Su is here to see you."
At this time, Elder Ruyan walked into the great hall and made the announcement.
"Let her in," said Chu Kuangren.
Heavenly Imperial Su soon walked in and greeted Chu Kuangren with a fist salute. "Greetings, Heavenly Tormentor."
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. "Greetings to you too, Heavenly Imperial."
This time, he wanted to understand what a Heavenly Tormentor was, so he immediately asked her without beating around the bush.
Heavenly Imperial Su was not surprised to hear his question. This time, she had done her work and found out that Chu Kuangren was not the Heavenly Tormentor that she imagined.
"The Heavenly Tormentors was a secret task force created by the Human King in the past. Nothing is known about the number of members they have nor each of their identities. The only thing we know about them is that they played a tremendous role in the Great Panhuman Revolt.
"It could even be said that without the Heavenly Tormentors, at least half of our human forces would have been dead.
"Because of this, the Heavenly Tormentors were the greatest contributors in the Great Panhuman Revolt. They have been highly revered ever since too. Even a Daoist Celestial won't have the right to interfere in their affairs…"
Heavenly Imperial Su explained.
After she was done speaking, she looked at Chu Kuangren curiously. "The most obvious characteristic of the Heavenly Tormentors is their Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern. However, their powers were apparently given to them by the King of Humans himself. What about you, Brother Chu? How did you manage to possess the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern?"
'Given by the Human King?!'
Chu Kuangren's eyes narrowed a little when he heard this. 'The Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern can even be given to others?!'
If that were the case, then the Human King was far more knowledgeable in the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern compared to him. This made Chu Kuangren even more curious about this person.
Unfortunately, the Human King was already dead, and there was no chance he would ever meet him again.
"I obtained this Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern after breaking through the Heavenly Punishment Seal." Chu Kuangren briefly told her about how he managed to gain control over the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern.
After that, Heavenly Imperial Su started to wonder. "The Heavenly Punishment's power is said to be the most mysterious and unimaginable power in the world. Yet, no one knows where it originates from."
"Even for the Human King, no one knew where his Heavenly Punishment energy came from. Could it be that he was struck with a Heavenly Punishment Seal as well?"
Historical records about the Human King were few and scarce. Even someone in a high position like Heavenly Imperial Su did not know much about him either.
However, Chu Kuangren noticed the look of admiration on Heavenly Imperial Su's face whenever she talked about the Human King.
In the past, the Chaos Daoist Celestial also had the same look when talking about the Human King. The respect and adoration the Human King had among the humans were simply unfathomable.
He had seemingly become an idol of faith for them.
"No matter what, the fact that you have the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern persists, Brother Chu. I bet the Heavenly Tormentors will come to meet you soon, so do prepare yourself when the time comes." Heavenly Imperial Su reminded him.
"I understand." Chu Kuangren nodded. After that, he took the opportunity to gain more intel about the Nine Heavens and Extraterritorial Battlefield.
He expressed his interest in wanting to gain some experience at the Extraterritorial Battlefield. However, she turned silent for a while and replied, "If possible, I hope you can stay in the Firmament Star for the time being."
"And the reason being?"
"You possess the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Pattern, Brother Chu, which is effective against the Gods' Divine Might. I wish you can stay here, for now, to deal with the God Worshipping Cult and help us find the Godly Secret Realm."
"God Worshipping Cult? Godly Secret Realm?" Chu Kuangren became more interested as new terms began popping up.
"That's right. The God Worshipping Cult is a cult created by the followers of the Gods. They worship the power of the Gods and wish to release them from their prisons. In the past, the Emperors from the God Worshipping Cult could not enter the Firmament Star because the Heavenly Dao was damaged. However, things are different now. With the Heavenly Dao restored, they have already secretly infiltrated the Firmament Star and started work on finding the Gods that have been sealed away."
"As for the Godly Secret Realms, it was a place where the Gods dwelled a long time ago. Hordes of treasures are hidden inside there — treasures that will greatly benefit us and the God Worshipping Cult. Since the Heavenly Dao is restored, these Godly Secret Realms that have been sealed along with the Gods will reveal themselves once again."
"When that time comes, a battle between us and the God Worshipping Cult's forces will be inevitable. Furthermore, the powerhouses of that cult are normally able to use the power of the Gods too. That's why I hope that you can stay and help us with your Heavenly Punishment power, Brother Chu."
Chu Kuangren pondered after hearing what Heavenly Imperial Su told him. To be honest, he was not in a hurry to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Battling the Gods might be a great learning experience for him too.
"Alright, I shall remain at the Firmament Star for now."
Chu Kuangren nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Chu."
Heavenly Imperial Su thanked him delightedly.
After sending her off, Chu Kuangren looked into the sky from the great hall and shook his head frustratingly. "Extraterritorial Battlefield, the Blood Tribe, the Gods that have been sealed, the God Worshipping Cult… It is a mess both in and out of Firmament Star!"
…
Chu Kuangren went into closed-door meditation after sending off Heavenly Imperial Su.
This time, his main goal was to combine the nine scrolls to return them to their original form.
"Heart Piercing Finger, Raging Gods Fist, Palm of Sorrow, Heart Tearing Claw, Seal of Delight …" Nine types of Daoist patterns started to swirl around Chu Kuangren.
Under his deduction, the nine Emperor Techniques gradually merged together.
Time flew past.
Ten days had gone by in a blink of an eye.
On this day.
An immeasurably powerful fluctuation suddenly erupted from the Towering Heaven Palace, and it was a very peculiar Daoist fluctuation at that.
It was not a Daoist Rhyme or a Daoist pattern…
It was a mysterious Daoist fluctuation that surpassed those two!
When the countless disciples in Black Heaven Sect felt the abnormal fluctuations, they were confused.
"What aura is this?"
"How strange…"
"Sob… W-why do I suddenly feel like crying?"
"D*mn it. Why did you hit me!"
"I can't stand you anymore!"
Affected by that Daoist fluctuation, many of the Daoists were shocked at first. However, that feeling of shock was soon replaced by a variety of emotions.
Some were angered, some were sad, some burst out in tears…
Atop a mountain somewhere.
Murong Xuan was standing in the wind while looking at a tree whose leaves were turning yellow and withering. He said in melancholy, "The wind feels sad today."
'Huh?'
'Something is wrong.'
When did he become so sentimental?
Murong Xuan was taken aback. After noticing something was not right, he mobilized his Emperor Thoughts and found out that the whole Black Heaven Sect had fallen into chaos.
Everyone had lost control of their emotions.
"What kind of power is this? What is the Sect Leader up to this time?"
Murong Xuan looked towards the Towering Heaven Palace with shock, only to notice the mysterious Daoist fluctuation spreading out from it.
Needless to say, this was certainly Chu Kuangren's doing.
The mysterious Daoist fluctuations spread everywhere from the Black Heaven Sect and throughout the whole Firmament Star.
The emotions of countless mortals and cultivators were affected by it.
Even the Emperors were in disbelief by what was happening as they all looked towards Black Heaven Sect. "What is that guy up to this time?!"
In the Extraterritorial Region far beyond.
Inside a glamorous Daoist Palace.
A white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes. "Someone has cultivated an Immortal Technique! This aura… Could it be? It's the Phantasmal Seven Emotions Tune!"
