Chapter 390: Setting Up A Mega Formation, Elystial Emperor Scripture, The Qian Emperor Palace Appears
With Chu Kuangren’s help, the cultivators quickly recovered from their injuries. Then, Chu Kuangren asked, “Who here is from the Four Seas Merchant Guild?”
“We’re the delivery personnel of the guild.”
Some of the individuals stepped forth.
Chu Kuangren looked at them and said, “Hm, please send a message to Master Qian and inform him to wait for us at the closest prefecture.”
“Master Qian?”
“Which Master Qian?”
The individuals stared at each other puzzledly.
These individuals only held low positions in the guild, so they never knew Master Qian, the most influential guild member behind the scene, let alone had a way of contacting him.
“Nevermind, I’ll tell him myself.”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
Then, he stared into the ocean, and his eyes glimmered with excitement. Chu Kuangren smacked his lips greedily before he dashed to the ocean floor.
With the help of his Water Evasion Pearl, Chu Kuangren soon reached the ocean’s depth and arrived at the trench where the Serpent Deity stored its treasures. Looking across the countless treasures before him, Chu Kuangren could not help but grin from ear to ear. “Oh, Serpent Deity, I shall gladly help myself to it.”
The Serpent Deity had hoarded so many underwater treasures that its value would significantly dwarf all the combined treasures that the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands had!
It was, for sure, one of the largest treasure troves in Firmament Star!
Chu Kuangren began to store all of the treasure items in his Yin and Yang Ring scouted around the trench.
“Eh, what’s this?”
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren looked at a precious ocean medicine that resembled a faint blue coral in his hands and could not help but feel a little surprised.
There were many other treasures in the trove which Chu Kuangren could not recognize either. However, this medicinal item caught Chu Kuangren’s attention because it radiated a surge of strange energy. When Chu Kuangren came close to it, he felt an invigorating sensation.
It was as if the sensation had come from… his soul.
“Could this medicine be applied to the soul?”
Chu Kuangren exclaimed in excitement, “Amazing. I may be an Alchemy Grandmaster, but I couldn’t even recognize this medicine.”
Then, Chu Kuangren activated his Treasure Locating Skill.
Only then did he discover the name of the medicine… It was called the Soul Rejuvenation Herb!
Soul rejuvenation, soul rejuvenation…
It seemed like a medicine that could be applied to the soul.
With that, Chu Kuangren carefully kept the medicine away.
After a long time of looting, Chu Kuangren left the trench happily.
Once he was back on the Illusive Mirage, Chu Kuangren led the people away from the oceanic domain.
Outside the oceanic domain, in a prefecture.
Having long received Chu Kuangren’s message, Qian Fugui waited for his arrival with a few other members. When the enormous Illusive Mirage arrived, Qian Fugui hastily went to greet them.
“Sect Leader Chu.”
When Qian Fugui saw the countless citizens on board, especially the children, anger welled up within him.
“The Serpent Deity and the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands are a bunch of despicable beings. How could they involve the children too?” Qian Fugui vented his anger.
He was familiar with the Serpent Deity’s Sacrificial Ceremony.
“Master Qian, I’ve received the Cloudflow ore. Thank you for your help. As for these people, I’m afraid I must trouble you to help them settle down.”
Chu Kuangren said.
“Not a problem. Leave it to me.”
Qian Fugui thumped his chest and said. Since he was well-connected and possessed many businesses in the world, it was an easy feat for him.
“Well, that’s all for now.”
Chu Kuangren nodded and began to leave.
“Safe trip, our savior.”
“Please have a fruitful trip, our savior.”
“Farewell, savior.”
The countless citizens and cultivators bid farewell to Chu Kuangren.
The children looked at Chu Kuangren’s departing figure with a great sense of ambition in their eyes. One of the boys said, “One day, I’ll become an amazing cultivator just like our savior and protect everyone.”
“Me too.”
“Count me in.”
…
In the Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren immediately busied himself upon his return.
Now that the Cloudflow ore and the Celestial chalcedony were in place, the last part was to set up the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation. It was nothing like a simple formation. Even with a blueprint, Chu Kuangren had only completed one-tenth of it after a few days worth of work.
“Mega formations are so complicated. It doesn’t help that my knowledge on formation is only half-baked, and none of the people in the Black Heaven Sect has knowledge about it either. This is tough.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head.
He did not wish to consult an outsider, too, as there was no guarantee that the outsider would leak the core information of the formation to others.
Hence, Chu Kuangren could only learn as he went along, and fortunately, his understanding skills were astounding. As he picked up more insights of his own, his knowledge of formations improved drastically.
Soon, he became quicker in setting up the formation.
About a month later, the Astounding Cloud of Sea Formation was complete.
“Finally, it’s done.”
Chu Kuangren stood at the peak of a mountain.
He channeled his spiritual thoughts over a ten thousand kilometers radius from the Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren could see the key locations of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation within that perimeter. Now, this Emperor-level mega formation could be activated anytime under his command.
“With this mega formation, the Black Heaven Sect’s safety is now guaranteed.” Chu Kuangren smiled. A huge weight was finally lifted off his shoulders.
Since he was now well-known and notorious, Chu Kuangren could be targeted by anyone at any time, especially by the forces of the unknown lands. He must be cautious as the Black Heaven Sect could also be caught in these crossfires.
If the unknown lands began attacking the Black Heaven Sect, it would be difficult for the Black Heaven Sect to defend themselves. Now, the mega formation was the perfect solution for such a concern.
“Let’s draw a prize to celebrate.”
Chu Kuangren grinned happily.
“Congratulations, Host. You’ve won a Legendary Grade Item, the Elysian Emperor Scripture!”
Another Emperor Scripture!
Chu Kuangren got so excited that he instantly went to read the item’s description. Before he retrieved the Emperor Scripture, he first set up a couple of sealing spells around him.
A powerful Emperor Aura instantly emanated, but thanks to Chu Kuangren’s sealing spell, it did not spread outward.
Chu Kuangren began to read the Emperor Scripture.
“Is this… a runic scripture?!”
Chu Kuangren was surprised. The Elystial Emperor Scripture originated from an Emperor who was known as the Great Elystial Emperor. He had ascended into the Emperor Realm by relying on the power of runes. Hence, the scripture that the Great Elystial Emperor had left behind also heavily revolved around the subject of runes.
Chu Kuangren had long been exposed to the subject of runes. He had always found the subject to be mysterious, and he had been looking to learn more about it.
This Emperor Scripture was the perfect opportunity to do so.
In the next few days, Chu Kuangren began to go into a closed-door meditation.
Three days later, a massive disruption occurred in Firmament Star.
An enormous palace had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and upon verification by many cultivators, they discovered that the palace was related to the Qian Emperor!
The Qian Emperor was the last recorded Emperor in Firmament Star.
Now that a palace that was tied to him had emerged, many cultivators in Firmament Star were shocked, and many quickly went to check it out.
Even the people of the unknown lands could not resist their curiosity.
“The Qian Emperor Palace has finally appeared.”
“The legends are true. In the past, the Emperors had left many Opportunities of Fortune throughout Firmament Star. When the time is right, each of them will slowly appear from hiding.”
“We’re almost at the Era of Great Battles.”
“Let’s not waste such an opportunity. The Qian Emperor Palace is the first Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune. Whoever grabs it first will have an advantage in the subsequent Opportunities of Fortune. We can’t miss out on this palace…”
The unknown lands were making their moves.
All the sky-prides began to swarm towards the palace.
In the Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren had also completed his closed-door meditation.
