2056 Librarian Li Jun, Mental Sparring Eighty-One Days, Ten Thousand Buddha Silent

Speaking of which, the Heavenly Grandmaster was the first great one that Chu Kuangren encountered.

Many years ago, when Chu Kuangren became an Immortal and entered Penglai Island’s fragment, a sliver of Heavenly Grandmaster’s Immortal Consciousness helped him.

With his help, Chu Kuangren was able to gain insights into the ways of the Immortal.

The Heavenly Grandmaster did not expect the boy he met that day to grow into such a titan in just a short time.

“Chu Kuangren, your future is bright,” the Heavenly Grandmaster said sentimentally.

He had a feeling that Chu Kuangren had yet to reach his limit.

Chu Kuangren’s future would only be brighter from here on out.

“In fact, it’s the same for us. Our reincarnation was just an attempt to break free from the old. Now, we just have to wait for that opportunity to break free from the restraints of the Great Dao, and we will be able to surpass the old, thus creating a brighter future.”

The Heavenly Grandmaster stared into the distant sky with eyes glimmering with hope.

After that, Chu Kuangren got the location of the last of the Three Clarities from the Heavenly Grandmaster, which was the Divine Virtue Supreme Clarity Imperial.

Hence, he left Penglai Island and went to visit the man.

Unlike other ancient beings who were building their own kingdoms or sects, living at the peak of the highest mountains or in a grand palace, the man was living in Hundred Academy as a librarian.

Chu Kuangren was surprised.

When he arrived at the Hundred Academy, he headed straight to the library without causing an uproar.

Under the tree in front of the entrance, he saw a young man reading a book.

When the young man sensed Chu Kuangren’s arrival, he looked up, glanced at him, and smiled. “Hi, Immortal King.”

“Hello, Divine Virtue Supreme Clarity Imperial.”

“Haha. You can call me by my current name, Li Jun,” the man said.

Chu Kuangren nodded. “Li Jun.”

The Divine Primeval Jade Clarity Imperial stood out with his mystical presence, while the Heavenly Grandmaster maintained his bold and strong aura.

Li Jun, however, felt calm and quiet.

The three of them varied drastically from each other, which also represented their respective Dao.

Chu Kuangren skipped the chatters and had a mental spar with Li Jun.

Rather than debating about the three thousand Daos, Chu Kuangren and Li Jun discussed and sparred about the root of all Dao.

That particular Dao had no beginning or end, yet it contained everything without a solid form. It existed in everything and affected everything at all times.

“The name that can be named is not the eternal name, the Dao that can be spoken is not the forever Dao. The Great Dao is formless…”

That would be the best mental spar Chu Kuangren had ever had.

Starting from the two of them, an invisible Daoist Rhyme expanded in all directions and shrouded all life in it.

Other than some powerful elites, no one noticed the existence of such Daoist Rhymes.

There was no sound from the Great Dao or any unusual phenomenon.

Everything returned to the basics and the way of nature.

“If anyone in this universe can understand Dao the most, it would be these two people. With Chu Kuangren’s deep understanding of Dao, no wonder he can grow so fast in just twenty thousand years.”

“The Supreme Clarity’s understanding of Dao is as good as Hong Jun now.”

“I think he’s much better now.”

Many powerful elites were impressed and jealous as they watched the two of them mentally spar.

Compared to Life-Death, Samsara, Darkness, Light, and other visible Daos, that invisible, formless yet ubiquitous Dao was the hardest to understand. The deeper one could understand that Dao, the better one could cultivate.

The mental spar lasted for a full eighty-one days.

In the past eighty-one days, the students of the Hundred Academy felt like their cultivation speed had improved, but they did not know why.

However, Mister Lu, an Embodier, sensed something. He was able to locate Chu Kuangren and Li Jun before they finished, but he dared not interrupt.

He looked at Li Jun in awe.

He did not expect that the boring young man who hid in the library all year long was powerful enough to mentally spar with the Immortal King.

After the mental spar, Chu Kuangren got up and bowed. “I have gained a lot through this mental spar. Thank you, Daoist Brother Li.”

Li Jun bowed back. “Immortal King, you’re flattering me. I still have a lot to learn.”

Before he left, Chu Kuangren gave a Yin and Yang Ring to Mister Lu. “There are some books inside here. Please put them to good use.”

He had collected many books and tomes in his universal travel, and it would be a great help in nurturing the human race.

After all, knowledge was power.

Mister Lu took the ring respectfully. “I understand.”

Not far away, Li Jun’s eyes shone when he heard of the books.

After Chu Kuangren left, Mister Lu opened up the Yin and Yang Ring, and countless books and tomes gushed out from the ring like a geyser.

Mister Lu was shocked by the sheer amount of books.

He quickly closed the ring, but there was already a mountain of books before them.

“How many books are there inside?”

Mister Lu looked at the ring and gasped in shock.

There were so many books inside that it was not an exaggeration to compare it to the sea.

The Hundred Academy’s library had the biggest collection of books in the Immortal World, but the Yin and Yang Ring contained a hundred times more!

The knowledge the books contained included everything.

Li Jun glanced at the ring, his eyes shimmering like the stars.

“I have almost finished the books here in the library. Now, I have new books to read.”

…

On the other hand, Chu Kuangren continued his visits.

He traveled across the Immortal World, visiting Zhen Yuanzi, Patriarch Hongyun, Master Yokai Kunpeng, and many more ancient beings.

He even went to the Buddhist World in the West to meet Guanyin, Ksitigarbha, Tathāgata, and other Buddhist World elites.

He even asked Tathagata in front of the Arhats and Bodhisattvas, “I wonder where Cundi and Receiva are?”

His question silenced the Spiritual Mountain for a while.

Even Tathagata on the golden lotus got nervous and sweaty.

Everyone knew Cundi and Receiva intervened in the battle against the empire and sided with Luo Hou.

With that crime alone, it was nearly impossible for Chu Kuangren to not blame the Buddhist World.

Knowing how brutal Chu Kuangren could be, even Tathagata and Guanyin were afraid that he would go on a killing spree in the Far West Land.

No one could stop him.

In the end, Guanyin said, “The two of them have gone on a trip, and we have no idea where they are now.”

“Is that so?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.

He then looked at a pond of golden lotuses. The pond had many dazzling golden lotus floating on it.

It was the Spiritual Mountain’s Dharmic Pond.

The lotuses in the pond were the Supreme Treasures of the Buddhist World.

Hence, it was raised using the beliefs and faith of the Buddhist World.

Each lotus was a supreme treasure for cultivation.

“I like the lotuses. I’m getting a few.”

He reached out to the pond and grabbed all the lotuses, which ruined the Spiritual Mountain’s many years of effort. However, no one dared to say a word.

Everyone knew it was a warning.

If Chu Kuangren wanted, he could erase the entire Buddhist World as easily as plucking the golden lotuses from the pond.

Tens of thousands of Buddhas remained silent as Chu Kuangren plucked all the lotuses from the Dharmic Pond.
