Chapter 653: Calm Down Lil Red, A Message from Gu Linglong

Chu Kuangren and his group did not even conceal their respective Emperor energies as they swooped across the skies of various great orthodoxies. The Forbidden Areas and all of Firmament Star’s cultivators now knew that somebody from the Black Heaven Sect had become Emperors!!

Moreover, it was not one, not two, but a whopping three of them!!

It had been a few hundred thousand years since the Firmament Star last saw the birth of an Emperor. Now, there were three altogether at once, and everyone was overwhelmed.

This Black Heaven Sect was literally breaking the laws of nature.

“How arrogant are these people?”

Atop a random mountain, a middle-aged man could not help but scoff upon seeing Chu Kuangren, Murong Xuan, and the rest of their group dashing past up in the sky.

He had a sword strapped to his waist, and his whole body emanated with a piercing sword qi. An intense Emperor’s Aura would vaguely pervade him from time to time.

When Chu Kuangren flew past him, the two of them locked eyes for a brief moment. However, they immediately retracted their gazes to prevent any conflicts from happening.

A soft-spoken man in green who dressed like a scholar was standing beside this middle-aged man. The former whipped out his fan and smiled. “It’s true what they say. Men won’t return to their homeland until they have turned their fortune. It’s the same in the cultivation world. He has to show off now that he has become an Emperor.”

“Hmph, I’m just saying that he might have made it too flashy even though he’s just a new Emperor.”

“Brother Jian Feng, I know you and your Sword Tribe have a vengeance with this guy, but you’ve been an Emperor for over a hundred thousand years now. You shouldn’t take these matters too seriously when it concerns another Emperor. This guy must not be taken lightly. He may be just a new Emperor, but he gives me a mysterious feeling. I think it’s best you don’t go seeking his trouble.”

The soft-spoken green-robed man smiled gently and said.

Jian Feng nodded his head lightly. “Don’t you worry. I know my boundaries.”

A great distance away, deep in the ocean.

A man with a golden scale on his forehead opened his eyes and looked toward the far side. After sensing the Emperor’s energy from Chu Kuangren and his people, he sneered. “Chu Kuangren, I shall patiently await your battle!”

After saying that, he shut his eyes once again.

Black Heaven Sect.

A boundless and overwhelming Emperor’s energy swept across the land.

Elder Ruyan, Honorable Xuan Qi, Second Forefather, Third Forefather, Fairfrost Sage, White-Robed General, and others were all startled.

They glanced toward the distance, visibly shocked by what was coming at them.

“Such powerful energy… Who has our sect offended?”

“This energy… Is it an Emperor?”

“Quick, everybody, on your feet. Activate the formation… Huh?”

Elder Ruyan was the first to rush out and stared at their alleged attackers on the far side of the horizon. However, just as she was about to send orders to activate the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation, she gasped as caught sight of Chu Kuangren and the few others.

“It’s the Sect Leader. He’s back!!”

“Don’t activate the formation. It’s our Sect Leader!”

A blazing light suddenly shot up into the sky and turned into a stunning Godly Phoenix, dyeing more than half of the sky in red.

“Brother…” Godly Phoenix Lil Red stared in Chu Kuangren’s direction, feeling incredibly emotional. Then, her figure turned into a fiery flash of light and dashed out at him.

Chu Kuangren was just about to open his arms and embrace Lil Red when he realized that she was not slowing down.

His expression abruptly changed as he said, “Lil Red, slow down now! Don’t be too excited! Ah—”

Lil Red was so excited that she flew at such a fast speed and could not stop herself from crashing onto Chu Kuangren.

With a loud rumble, the heaven and earth trembled as the man and the phoenix crashed into a mountain with great force.

Inside a giant crater, the Godly Phoenix, Lil Red could not suppress the excitement in her, and she kept rubbing her head against Chu Kuangren.

“Brother, you’re finally home…”

Chu Kuangren caressed her furry head and consoled her. “I’m sorry I made you wait for the last few years. I’m home now.”

“Yes. I’m just glad that you’re home. You don’t have to say sorry.”

Not far away, Leng Ningyu and Chi Yue gazed at the Godly Phoenix with amazement. “Wow, Black Heaven Sect has a Godly Phoenix?”

The Godly Phoenix was a Supreme True Dragon…

Such prosperous divine beasts brought with them immense good fortune since they were favored by the heavens. They were even rarer than those immemorial beings.

“That’s Sect Leader’s little sister. Her name is Chu Hong…”

Murong Xuan provided commentary from the side.

Then, the crowd crossed the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation and entered the Black Heaven Sect.

With that, Lil Red transformed into her human form — a graceful red-dressed teenage girl, who clung to Chu Kuangren. She did not want to leave him, not even for one moment.

Black Heaven Sect, inside Longevity Hall.

A crowd was gathered in the hall.

As Elder Ruyan, White-Robed General, and the others glanced at Chu Kuangren, they gulped. “Sect Leader, you… you’ve become an Emperor?!”

Chu Kuangren opened his arms and laughed. “Why? Do I not resemble one?”

“You do. You definitely resemble one.”

“What do you mean ‘resemble’? He is already one, okay?”

“Haha, bless the Black Heaven Sect. Our Black Heaven Sect has finally produced an Emperor after all these years. This is terrific news.”

Everyone could hardly contain their emotions.

Especially Xuan Qi, who looked at Chu Kuangren with a face full of joy and relief. At the same time, he looked at the Second Forefather and Third Forefather, and said to them proudly, “I told you guys that I’ll become an Emperor’s Honorable Teacher someday.”

“Yeah, yeah. Brag all you want.”

“Pfft, you haven’t even done anything remarkable thus far.”

Then, Elder Ruyan and the elders looked at Murong Xuan and Lan Yu with a surprised expression. “You two…”

“Yes, we’ve become Emperors too.”

Murong Xuan’s words blew everyone’s minds.

“Um, Elder Ruyan, would you mind giving me a slap to check if I’m in a dream?” Xuan Qi said in a daze.

Elder Ruyan did not hold back either. She straight-up threw a forceful slap at him and slammed him out of the great hall. Following that came a painful wail.

“Ouch, it hurts? Huh? I’m not dreaming.”

Xuan Qi’s peal of crazed laughter would be heard outside the hall.

Even the people inside the hall felt the same way as him.

Three Emperors!

Black Heaven Sect now had three extra almighty Emperors!

This was a dream that they had never dared to imagine!

After the bout of emotions, Chu Kuangren inquired about the recent developments that had happened in Black Heaven Sect. Aside from the improvements in cultivation for Elder Ruyan and a few others, there were no other big changes.

“Right, Sect Leader. I wanted to inform you about something.”

Seeming having recalled something, Elder Ruyan suddenly took out a jade scroll and passed it to Chu Kuangren. “This is a letter that Queen Linglong left for you.”

“Linglong? Did anything happen to her?”

Chu Kuangren frowned slightly.

“A few days ago, Queen Linglong suddenly announced that she’d abdicate the throne, passing it to the Fourth Prince. After that, she disappeared. But before she was gone for good, she had someone send this jade scroll here and requested that we pass it to you.”

“Alright.”

Chu Kuangren read the message on the jade scroll.

“My dear husband, hope you are well…”

In the jade scroll, Gu Linglong briefly explained where she was headed and detailed how she had met this mysterious woman who possessed the Godly Daoist Physique similar to hers. As such, this woman intended to take her in as a student.

At that time, the Royal Azure Dynasty was already quite peaceful with its folks leading happy and healthy lives. After weighing the trade-offs, Gu Linglong made the decision to follow that woman as a student and leave the dynasty for an obscure location.

As for where she was headed, the jade scroll was quite vague about this piece of information.

It seemed like Go Linglong herself was quite clear about her decision. However, she wanted to explain things so that Chu Kuangren would not worry about her.

“A woman who is a Godly Daoist Physique host as well. If this weren’t such a great Opportunity of Fortune, Linglong would never have been swayed. Who is this woman, I wonder?”

Chu Kuangren mumbled to himself.

Then, he mobilized his Emperor to cover the whole Firmament Star in no time. With his current cultivation realm, not even the prohibition from the Forbidden Areas could restrict his Emperor thought. Nonetheless, he did not manage to find anything in his search.

Gu Linglong appeared to have left the Firmament Star.

Chu Kuangren gave it a moments ponder before putting the thought at the back of his mind.
