“What? Chu Kuangren killed the Murong clan's Sages!”
When news got to the leaders of various orthodoxies, all of them were stunned, while some were so frightened that they almost collapsed.
What were Sages?
The very pinnacle of all existence in the Firmament Star!
Nowadays, the leaders of sage orthodoxies in all of Firmament Stare were people of the Supreme Honorable rank and had Sages supporting them behind the scenes.
Yet Chu Kuangren, a guy who had just taken over the leaders.h.i.+p of the Black Heaven Sect, had surprisingly made his way to the Black Warrior Domain and killed two of Murong clan's Sages?
This news was too shocking!
The Scarlet Phoenix Domain, White Tiger Domain, and the Black Warrior Domain were still alright with it. Although they were astounded too, they did not react to it.
However, the sage orthodoxies that were in the same Domain as the Black Heaven Sect, such as Zhiyang Valley, Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom, and Thunder Temple amongst others had begun to panic.
So were the Sages who were behind them.
Chu Kuangren could surprisingly slay Sages!
If they were to accidentally provoke the Black Heaven Sect in the future, it did not even require Sages and Chu Kuangren alone would suffice to flip their entire orthodoxy upside down!
Who would be able to stop him then?
Each orthodoxy sent out its respective scouts to gather more intel.
Very soon, every detail regarding Chu Kuangren's slaying of the Murong clan's two Sages was presented to the leaders of each sage orthodoxy.
When they got word that Chu Kuangren had done all that just to avenge one of his disciples, all of them were shocked. Moreover, when they were told that said disciple had already become a cripple with no value, they were dumbfounded.
For a useless cripple who was already of no value to the sect, Chu Kuangren was still willing to put everything on the line and engage in such a terrorizing battle with the Murong clan. He even slew their two Sages!
Christ!
Was Chu Kuangren a madman?
Nevertheless, it was precisely because of this that the people feared Chu Kuangren more. They did not know when this madman would go berserk and do the unthinkable to them one day.
This fellow was no longer acting based on rationale!
“From now on, let's not raise any conflicts with the Black Heaven Sect.”
“True. I can't believe Chu Kuangren would do such a thing for a crippled disciple. Who knows what other crazy things he could do if somebody enraged the Black Heaven Sect?”
“D*mn it, why is there such a lunatic in this world!”
“I won't be afraid if it was just any lunatic, but what's scary is that this lunatic has the capabilities of killing Sages. Chu Kuangren is really an appropriate name for him.”
“Weren't the Black Heaven Sect trying to compete with us over the owners.h.i.+p of the soulstone quarry down south? Give word that we'll pull out, let them have it.”
“It has really forced our hand.”
All sage orthodoxies within the Azure Dragon Domain had reacted to this.
The fear that they have for Chu Kuangren was at its maximal point!
Even those Sages reacted the same.
Aside from the Azure Dragon Domain, the demonic organizations in the Black Warrior Domain had also caught wind of Chu Kuangren's terrorizing of Ghost Street's enchanted boundary and his annihilation of the Blackstain Plumes.
Despite that, these demonic cultivators did not have the courage to do anything out of fear towards Chu Kuangren's abilities.
Therefore, they s.h.i.+fted their sight to the Underworld which was the biggest and most mysterious demonic organization of the entire Firmament Star, hoping that their side would do something about him.
However, it had been a few days and the Underworld had not responded.
Their lack of response explained things for everyone.
Even the Underworld was afraid of Chu Kuangren!
Chu Kuangren had suddenly become a curse for the entire demonic world!
Even the Black Heaven Sect that he was in, and their various other affiliated forces, had become cursed grounds in which demonic cultivators dared not to touch simply.
The Illusive Mirage traversed between the clouds.
At this point, Chu Kuangren and his companions were already on their journey back home.
“The Illusive Mirage is truly magnificent.”
Black Heaven's Second Forefather naturally was also on top of The Mirage. Watching as numerous tall buildings and palaces pa.s.sed by, he could not help but exclaim in amazement.
“Does the Illusive Mirage really belong to you?”
“Yes, he obtained it through good fortune some time back.”
Lan Yu nodded slightly as she replied according to the way Chu Kuangren had taught her.
However, she knew that this kind of reply was the same as not explaining anything at all.
That was true.
Upon hearing her explanation, Black Heaven's Second Forefather eye-rolled.
Good fortune?
Name one time he did not get his stuff through good fortune.
Similar to Honorable Xuan Qi, Elder Ruyan, and the rest, Black Heaven's Second Forefather had the urge of making a snarky remark, but he eventually let it slide.
Inside one of the chambers on the Illusive Mirage.
Chu Kuangren sat cross-legged, cultivating.
He had slain two Sages back-to-back on his journey to the Murong clan this time and it turned out to be very exhausting for him. Apart from that, he had antagonized the Black Warrior Domain's demonic orthodoxies too.
Nonetheless, everything felt worth it to him.
Firstly, he got to avenge Murong Xuan. Secondly, he had sent shudders down the spines of each of the forces. Thirdly, he managed to refine two Sage bodies, solidifying his freshly broken through Honorable Realm cultivation base. In fact, he had even gained some breakthrough.
As of now, he was already at the Mid-Stage Honorable Realm.
“The two Sage bodies have surprisingly only allowed me to improve by a small stage. It seems that in cultivation, the further I go, the harder it is to gain an increment.”
“Especially a foundation level like mine, achieving a breakthrough would require abnormally more spiritual power and resources than any usual cultivator. It really is not easy.”
Chu Kuangren creating the Supreme Foundation Level was a good thing.
The only con was that if he intended to breakthrough, it would require him to consume almost dozens to multiple dozens fold of spiritual power as compared to a normal cultivator.
However, each breakthrough would grant him an incredibly terrifying increment in combat strength.
Compared to that, this little con was nothing to him. Moreover, Chu Kuangren had the Fantasy Roulette at his disposal too. Other people may run dry on resources, but he would never.
“Right now, I should focus on how to mend Murong Xuan's spiritual mound. Where the h.e.l.l do I find this Sage-grade herb, the Seven Colored Nebula Flower?”
Chu Kuangren muttered to himself.
“Hmm, why don't I give my Treasure Locating Skill a try.”
With that thought, he immediately activated the Treasure Locating Skill
He honestly did not harbor much hope.
Although the Treasure Locating Skill could find any treasures in this world, it too had an area range limit. There was no way this Sage-grade herb would be nearby.
Indeed, he failed to find anything on his first try. On the other hand, he managed to find a few common treasures but because he did not have any interest in them, he left them.
The Illusive Mirage traversed for a while.
He cast the Treasure Locating Skill once again.
This time, he did not have any high hopes either.
“Thirty thousand meters south, there is an Honorable-Grade Supreme Pill, the Six-Petal Silvergra.s.s…”
“Thirty thousand meters south, there is an Honorable-Grade Supreme Pill, the Flat Dragon Flower…”
“Thirty thousand and a hundred meters south, there is a Boundary Sage-Grade Supreme Pill…”
“Thirty thousand and a hundred meters south, there is a Sage-Grade Supreme Pill, the Seven Colored Nebula Flower…”
The information from the Treasure Locating Skill was relayed back.
Chu Kuangren's facial expressions suddenly became rather odd.
Goodness.
There really was the Seven Colored Nebula Flower!
His luck-o-meter had really hit the roof!
His Lucky Halo was indeed outrageous!
Based on the information relayed through the Treasure Locating Skill, not only was there the Seven Colored Nebula Flower, but numerous other Supreme pills were also gathered at the same place — somewhere thirty thousand meters down south.
“What's so special about this place thirty thousand meters south?”
Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath.
Whatever it was, as long as there was a clue regarding the Seven Colored Nebula Flower, Chu Kuangren had to go and check it out.
Thus, he steered the direction of the Illusive Mirage.
On the Illusive Mirage, Black Heaven's Second Forefather also noticed that the Illusive Mirage's change in direction. Just then, Chu Kuangren exited his chamber.
“Master, where are we headed?”
“Down south. To look for herbs to cure Murong Xuan.”
Beside them, Black Heaven's Second Forefather expressed his surprise. “You've found out how to heal a spiritual mound injury?”
“Yes.”
Black Heaven's Second Forefather was momentarily stunned. “I thought you were at your wit's end two days back, and that you'll use your time to research and invent a recipe?”
“That's right. I've done inventing it.”
“So soon?” Black Heaven's Second Forefather was left dazed.
