Chapter 400: The Emperor’s Inheritance, Something Big In The Future, The Sages’ Decision

“Now that you’ve passed the trial, you’re worthy to inherit my inheritance.”

The Qian Emperor chuckled.

After that, he waved his arm and revealed three items.

The three items were a wooden box, a yellow booklet, and a black armor that emanated with grim murderous qi.

Not to mention the other two items, but just that armor alone was enough to grab Chu Kuangren’s attention. Through his Treasure Locating Skill, he could tell that the black armor was an incredibly powerful… Emperor Weapon!

“This wooden box contains a scroll while the booklet here is an Emperor Scripture that I’ve personally written and compiled. It has some of my cultivation experiences recorded in it. As for this armor, this was an Emperor Weapon that I came across during my early days. Since I have a similar Emperor Weapon with me, I’ve decided to leave it here for someone else.”

“These three items are the Opportunities of Fortune that I’ve left behind.”

“Sky-pride of the future, I shall tell you one more thing before this spiritual thought manifestation of mine disappears. This is the Era of Great Battles. After tens of thousands of years of the Era of Dharma’s End, this great change from deprivation to prosperity means that not only those from Firmament Star but those from the Nine Heaven are also interested in competing for the opportunity to become an Emperor!

“This opportunity of becoming an Emperor will soon appear on the Firmament Star!”

“Hence, many more sky-prides shall be appearing in the future as the orthodoxies in the Nine Heavens will not sit idly by as well. These orthodoxies have roots tracing to the ancient and even archaic ancient times. They each possess the complete inheritance from their respective Emperors, so they will not be easy opponents. You should be careful…”

The Qian Emperor chuckled.

After all, Chu Kuangren was a sky-pride that had obtained his inheritance, so the Qian Emperor did not wish to see Chu Kuangren failing so soon on his path to Emperor-hood.

“People from the Nine Heavens? I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

“Perhaps there are others besides the Nine Heavens as well.”

“Oh? Honorable Qian Emperor, do you mean…”

The Qian Emperor pointed to the ground.

Only then did Chu Kuangren understand. “The Underworld Demonic Realm?”

The Qian Emperor nodded.

Chu Kuangren was silent for a while before his grin widened. “It seems like the party is just getting started.”

After that, he kept away all the items the Qian Emperor had given him, got up, and gave the latter a bow. “Thank you very much for the Opportunities of Fortune, honorable Qian Emperor.”

“You’re welcome. Other than mine, I suppose the other Emperors’ Opportunities of Fortune will appear soon too. It’ll be up to you to get your hands on them.” The Qian Emperor smiled as his figure started to disappear.

“I understand. Farewell, honorable Qian Emperor.”

Chu Kuangren lightly nodded and bowed again.

The Qian Emperor took one last look at Chu Kuangren before he fully disappeared.

As soon as the Qian Emperor’s spiritual thought manifestation dispersed, the whole Qian Imperial Palace suddenly shook. The auspicious visions in the sky were gradually disappearing as well.

With a boom, the Qian Imperial Palace dropped from the sky and onto the ground. It was now no different to any of the other palaces around it, and its mysteriousness was gone.

That sudden change attracted the attention of many. Everyone knew that this undoubtedly had something to do with Chu Kuangren.

“What happened? Has Chu Kuangren obtained the Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune?”

“It must be. Why else would something like this happen?”

“D*mn it…”

Xiao Lintian, Ling Xiao, and the others ran toward the front of the fallen Qian Imperial Palace.

All they saw was Chu Kuangren slowly walking out from it.

“Chu Kuangren, have you obtained the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune?” Xiao Lintian could not help but ask.

Chu Kuangren simply walked out of the palace without replying.

That area was no longer worth exploring to him. After all, he did obtain the most valuable Opportunities of Fortune that place can offer.

Before he left, he took out the Jade Amulets and tossed them at Xiao Lintian and the others. “There, you guys can have these back now.”

This made Xiao Lintian and the others fuming with rage. ‘You’ve already taken the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune, so what’s the point of having these Jade Amulets back?’

Looking at Chu Kuangren’s departing figure, Xiao Lintian crushed the Jade Amulet in his grasp and threw it away.

He then dashed right inside the Imperial Palace.

However, the Imperial Palace was deserted. Not a single person was found inside.

They even searched the whole Imperial Palace, but there were no Opportunities of Fortune.

It was clear to them that the Opportunities of Fortune had already been taken by Chu Kuangren. Although they had expected this to happen, they still felt incredibly dissatisfied.

Outside the Imperial Palace, the group of Sages noticed that the surge of Emperor’s Aura surrounding it had dispersed.

Everyone hurriedly rushed inside the Qian Imperial Palace.

Inside, they saw Xiao Lintian and the others. The Purplevoid Sage quickly asked. “Lintian, who got the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune?”

Having noticed Xiao Lintian’s unpleasant expression, he could more or less guess what had happened. However, there was still some hope in him when he asked.

“Chu Kuangren!” Xiao Lintian gritted his teeth as he replied.

The Sages let out a bitter laugh.

“Sure enough, it’s him!”

“This guy really doesn’t leave any room for others.”

“He’s already a monster. Now coupled with the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune, I wonder how terrifying he’ll be!”

The Sages discussed, and deep down, they could not help but tremble.

“Not only that, but he even stole our Jade Amulets! He didn’t allow us any chance to compete with him!”

Xiao Lintian spoke again.

Now, the Sages were furious.

“Why is this Chu Kuangren so unreasonably crazy?!”

“D*mn it, he has gone too far now!”

“Did Chu Kuangren kill the Acheron Manor’s empyrean walker?”

Blackwillow Sage asked.

“Yes!”

Xiao Lintian nodded.

“It’s really him!” The Blackwillow Sage gritted his teeth with anger. He then looked at the other Sages around him and said, “Fellow Sages, we cannot sit idly by any longer. Chu Kuangren’s existence has blocked the paths of our respective orthodoxy’s sky-prides from progressing further.”

“Imagine if another Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune were to appear in the future and only sky-prides are allowed to enter and compete for it, who else could stop Chu Kuangren? From now on, are we going to let all the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune fall into Chu Kuangren’s hands? It’s time we do something right now.”

The Blackwillow Sage’s words made all the other Sages ponder.

The Purplevoid Sage then took a deep breath and said, “I think the Blackwillow Sage is right. I shall go inform my Palace Lord regarding this matter. No matter what, we cannot let Chu Kuangren prevail and gain the upper hand any longer. Otherwise, our respective orthodoxy’s sky-prides will forever live under his shadow.”

The other Sages trembled upon hearing that.

Each sky-pride would eventually be the pillars that hold up their orthodoxy in the future. If these sky-prides were too traumatized from being badly defeated by Chu Kuangren, their cultivation would no doubt be hindered. Even worse, their cultivation could end up crippled.

At that thought, every Sage at the scene shuddered.

Not only had Chu Kuangren hindered their sky-prides’ chance to become an Emperor, but he was also destroying their orthodoxy’s future!!

‘Enough is enough!’

“Chu Kuangren must not be allowed to exist any longer!”

Some of the Sages started to have that thought.

“No, I must discuss this matter with the Sect Leader when I return.”

“The threat that Chu Kuangren poses is just too great. It far exceeds what we thought of him. If we don’t get rid of him soon, there will be endless consequences to face!”

…

Chu Kuangren was not aware of the Sages’ decision to take action against him at this moment. In fact, he was on his way back to the Black Heaven Sect.

He had gained a lot from this trip to the Imperial Palace.

What he was most happy with was that Emperor Weapon he obtained. Having witnessed the power of the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd, he was now even more excited to see what that Emperor Weapon could do in the future.
