Chapter 733: The Central Heaven Daoist Ground, the Other Heavenly Imperials, a Daoist Celestial Appears

‘The Central Heaven Daoist Ground?’

Chu Kuangren looked at the Daoist Celestials’ messenger confusingly.

Having realized that Chu Kuangren did not know anything about it, the Daoist Celestial Messenger explained, “The Central Heaven Daoist Ground is a secret realm in the Firmament Star that’s been highly protected since ancient times…”

The Central Heaven Daoist Ground was a secret realm that was birthed from the Firmament Star itself.

Inside this secret realm, the rate of a cultivator’s progress would greatly increase. They might even have a chance to cultivate an Esoteric Art inside there too. Even a Daoist Celestial would gain many benefits by entering this secret realm.

However, it was incredibly difficult to access this secret realm as ten Daoist Celestials were required to open it every time.

Furthermore, they could only keep the secret realm open for ten days each time. Hence, great caution would always be taken whenever they do this.

“Opening the Central Heaven Daoist Ground will require ten Daoist Celestials to concentrate their power into it. There aren’t many in the Extraterritorial Battlefield who are privileged enough to enjoy such an honor. Brother Chu, I really envy you.”

The Daoist Celestial looked at Chu Kuangren with admiration in his eyes.

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “I’d have to thank the Daoist Celestials if that’s the case. Alright, when can we leave?”

Chu Kuangren was slightly interested in the Central Heaven Daoist Ground now.

After all, how could he hate this opportunity to improve his cultivation progress?

“The secret realm will open in ten days. Seeing as it’ll take us ten days to travel there, please prepare yourself, Brother Chu. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Very well.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

Chu Kuangren soon set out with the Daoist Celestial’s messenger the next day.

On the way, he learned a few things about the Daoist Celestials while chatting with their messenger. For example, he now knew that there are a total of twenty-four Daoist Celestials in the Firmament Star.

Those twenty-four Daoist Celestials, which included humans, yokais, and the other tribes, formed the main pillars of strength for the Firmament Star.

Among them, there were Daoist Celestials who were known as the strongest. They were the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, Transcendental Daoist Celestial, and Lunar Daoist Celestial.

“The Daoist Celestials are the strongest individuals in the Firmament Star, with each of them being cultivators that have been alive for countless years. All of them represent the pinnacle of Daoist cultivation in the Firmament Star…” The Daoist Celestials explained proudly.

Chu Kuangren listened attentively from the side.

He remembered the things the Chaos Daoist Celestial said had happened in the ancient orthodoxy while he was trapped inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin previously. Because of this, he had some knowledge regarding the Daoist Celestials too.

He recognized a few Daoist Celestials that were mentioned by the Daoist Celestials’ messenger because he heard it from the Chaos Daoist Celestial before. There were also a few names he had not heard of previously.

Among the twenty-four Daoist Celestials, only the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was mentioned by the Chaos Daoist Celestial before. The whereabouts of the others were unknown.

Could it be that the Chaos Daoist Celestial’s old friends have passed away?

With those doubts within him, Chu Kuangren soon arrived at the Central Heaven Daoist Ground.

…

The Central Heaven Daoist Ground was located on an asteroid near Stronghold Thirty-One. A group of people was gathered there by the time Chu Kuangren arrived.

Incredibly dense and overpowering strands of Emperor qi were coming from them. Even the weakest one among them was already a High-rank Heavenly Imperial.

Similar to Chu Kuangren, they were going to enter the Central Heaven Daoist Ground too.

Access to the Central Heaven Daoist Ground was given as a reward by the Daoist Celestials to cultivators that have great achievements on the battlefield. Recently, Chu Kuangren had provided hordes of treasures from the secret realm besides killing millions of Blood Tribe cultivators.

Those achievements of his were not small in any manner.

That was why he was granted an opportunity to enter the Central Heaven Daoist Ground.

The others were like him too, having achieved great things on the battlefield and were thus allowed to enter the Central Heaven Daoist Ground.

Not all of their achievements were made recently as some have been accumulating their combat merits for a long time. However, they were now grouped by the Daoist Celestials to enter the Central Heaven Daoist Ground at the same time.

Upon Chu Kuangren’s arrival, many of the cultivators’ gazes lit up. Everyone was checking him out curiously.

Some of them were familiar with Chu Kuangren, while others were not and had only met him for the first time. The ones that were familiar with him were those who had heard of him in the past.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist brothers and sisters.”

Chu Kuangren greeted everyone with cupped fists upon arriving. Seeing that they had been battling for the Firmament Star before he even came to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, all of them were considered his seniors.

There was a certain amount of respect he held toward these people.

“Ha, greetings to you too, Chu Kuangren.”

“I saw your name popping up among the top fifty in the battle leaderboard a few days ago. At the time, I was wondering whether I’d see you here, and here you are.”

“I can’t believe how handsome you are, pretty boy…”

A charming female cultivator walked over to him and pointed all over him with a piece of catkin in her hand. Her eyes were gleaming as if a predator had found its prey.

Chu Kuangren could not help shuddering upon seeing this.

He quickly took two steps back. “Please be mindful of your actions, senior.”

“Hehe…”

The female cultivator giggled and licked her lips. “You’re going to be so fun to play with, I can’t wait to gobble you up in one go.”

A furry white fox tail revealed itself behind her uncontrollably as she spoke. It then gently brushed against Chu Kuangren’s body as she walked around him.

She was a member of the yokai tribe, with her true form being a Heavenly Fox.

“You’re going to scare him off, you lusty fox.”

A hulking man laughed beside her. He then happily introduced himself to Chu Kuangren. “Greetings, Brother Chu. I’m the Sky Ox Imperial, a member of the Bull Demon Tribe.”

Large horns could be seen on his head.

He was a yokai too.

“Greetings, Brother Sky Ox Imperial,” Chu Kuangren greeted.

While he was talking, that furry fox tail brushed across his face, seemingly trying to get into his mouth. He then grabbed it and said, “Please control yourself, senior. You’re making things hard for me.”

“Ahh… You’re hurting me, pretty boy.”

The fox demon’s face turned pink, looking very alluring at that time.

She then put away her fox tail and said, “Then let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Fei. You can call me Fifi too if you wish. You’re the only person that I’ll allow to call me that, pretty boy…”

She shot a seductive wink toward Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren pretended to not notice it. “Greetings, Sister Hu.”

The other Heavenly Imperials soon came over and introduced themselves.

All of them were undoubtedly individuals who were ranked in the top fifty in the battle leaderboard. Even the combat merits of some stronghold leaders were not as high as theirs.

“Everyone is here, I suppose.”

An indifferent voice suddenly said.

A white figure soon walked out from the void. It was an elderly man with white hair and beard. There were sparks coming from his gaze.

Everyone could not help being stunned when they saw him.

Even Hu Fei who was behaving indecently earlier immediately became serious, bowing and saluting that elderly man like everyone else. “Greetings, Daoist Celestial.”

“Alright, the twelve of you Heavenly Imperials have achieved outstanding results on the battlefield. Hence, we have decided to open the Central Heaven Daoist Ground specially for everyone. Remember, you only have ten days inside, so please use that time wisely.”

“We will, honorable Daoist Celestial,” everyone replied excitedly.

The Daoist Celestial then raised his hand gently. A great white door soon appeared in the void.

“Everyone, let’s open the gateway together.” The Daoist Celestial said.

Surges of spiritual qi started swirling from all corners of the world. Nine different rays of light that contained incredibly profound Daoist Patterns soon appeared across the sky. Just a single glance upon them had already dazzled all of the Heavenly Imperials present.

Those were the Daoist Patterns of a Daoist Celestial.

The nine surges of energy from the Daoist Celestials eventually landed on that great white door.

The white-haired Daoist Celestial shot out a surge of palm strength toward it too.

The great white door soon opened slowly after a bang was heard.
