Chapter 1815
1815 Fa Hai Joins the Group, Let’s Make Another Trade
“Chu Kuangren wants the Pseudo Five Lanterns as a trade,” Fuxi’s successor said.
“Didn’t you bring him the Treasure Lotus Lantern?” Hua Xi asked.
Fuxi’s successor’s expression darkened upon hearing that. “One lantern is not enough. He wants more.”
“Sigh. It looks like you fell short of his demands.”
“In that case, we better figure out a way to fulfill his demands.”
!!
“Why don’t we snatch it from him right away?” Long Xuan said with excitement in his eyes.
Having suffered many defeats from Chu Kuangren many years ago, he had been itching to return that humiliation as payback.
However, he could not do it alone.
Since so many Godly Weapon wielders were in their alliance, how could they not have a chance to do so by joining forces?
“To defeat Chu Kuangren, we must strike him with the single most powerful blow. Otherwise, it’ll be extremely hard for us to try a second time. The Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation is the only thing we’re confident can defeat him! This great formation must be set up perfectly without mistakes. If we attack now, we’ll only expose our plans and be defeated.”
“What do you think we should do then?”
“As he said, I’ll have to find another of the Pseudo Five Lanterns for him.”
“I heard Fa Hai of the Great Thunder Temple once fought his enemies using the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern. Perhaps we can find him to discuss this.”
“Very well.”
Soon after, Fuxi’s successor and the others went to find Fa Hai.
He was busy growing his religion in a human country at that time, so he was extremely shocked when Fuxi’s successor came to him.
‘Is he going to end me now because of the Battle of Heavenly Champions?’
At that thought, Fa Hai’s expression grew serious.
“Fa Hai, we’ve come to request something of yours — the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern!”
“Oh, this item is my Immortal Weapon, and I never part with it. I’m afraid I can’t agree to your demands. Besides, what use do you have for this item?”
Fuxi’s successor then told him the plan about defeating Chu Kuangren.
He was not afraid that Fa Hai would expose their secret plan.
After all, Fa Hai had also been defeated by Chu Kuangren in the past. Hence, Fuxi’s successor believed that Fa Hai also resented Chu Kuangren to the core.
“Of course.”
Fuxi’s successor’s eyes lit up.
An extra person to their ranks would mean an increased chance to defeat Chu Kuangren.
…
Meanwhile, after Gu Linglong managed to obtain tremendous benefits from the Nirvana Rejuvenation Spring, which included increasing her cultivation level, she followed Chu Kuangren back to the Hundred Academy.
Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and Shang Honghua also followed him back.
In the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren was cultivating his Arch Gilded Intent on that day.
His Arch Gilded Intent was at the Fifth Step and was inching closer than ever before to reaching the Sixth Step.
He would break through to the peak Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal Realm when he was at the Seventh Step Arch Gilded Intent. Then, only after reaching that level could one attempt to break through to the Embodier Realm.
“I wonder how powerful the other me is right now,” Chu Kuangren murmured.
The other Chu Kuangren was in the Central Heaven Universe, which had the Central Heaven Temple, a sanctuary of cultivation. There were also many Outliers and Prodigies as his training opponents there.
He even had the Fantasy Roulette to cheat.
‘His cultivation level should have increased much faster compared to mine.’
“Increasing my cultivation step by step is not really a suitable method at the moment.”
“There are only two ways for me to increase my cultivation. The first method is to refine every treasure formed by parts of the Chaos Green Lotus. Only by increasing the Chaos Green Lotus’s power can I use it to strengthen myself. The second method will be to win the Battle of Heavenly Champions. Once I win and become the Immortal World Ruler, I can use all the resources of the Immortal World to increase my power!” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
For the former method, he now had the Yin and Yang Cauldron. That item was still gradually being refined inside his body, and he would still need some time to refine it completely.
For the latter method, the Heavenly Will Temple had appeared and listed the seventy-two Immortal Prides. Hence, the Battle of Heavenly Champions would be reaching an end soon.
“Master, Fuxi’s successor wishes to meet you.”
At that moment, he received a message from Lan Yu.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “Oh, has he found the items I need already? Fuxi’s successor is quite a useful errand boy it seems.”
He went outside the Hundred Academy and met Fuxi’s successor.
“Brother Chu, here’s the Treasure Lotus Lantern and the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern. Since I’ve found two of the Pseudo Five Lanterns for you, can you give me Fuxi’s Guqin now?”
Fuxi’s successor looked at Chu Kuangren. Although his heart was filled with hatred, he had to maintain a smile on his face.
He even addressed Chu Kuangren friendly as “Brother Chu”.
Before obtaining Fuxi’s Guqin, he did not want to provoke Chu Kuangren.
“Only two?”
“Brother Chu, Source Supreme Treasures like these are incredibly hard to find. Please understand that I’ve gone to great lengths to find these two lanterns for you.” The corner of Fuxi’s successor’s mouth twitched.
“Oh well, it looks like I’ve overestimated your capabilities, Fuxi’s successor. You’re no different than everyone else.”
Chu Kuangren took the two lanterns.
With a wave of his sleeves, Fuxi’s Guqin appeared. The guqin’s white jade surface radiated illuminating brilliance, mesmerizing those who set their eyes on it.
After seeing that guqin, Fuxi’s successor’s eyes lit up with joy.
“That really is Fuxi’s Guqin!”
He kept it and said, “I will now be on my way, Brother Chu.”
“Heh, I’ll be looking forward to the next time we meet,” Chu Kuangren said to Fuxi’s successor. His words were chosen carefully, as if conveying a hidden meaning.
“As do I,” Fuxi’s successor replied calmly.
After he turned around, a scheming look appeared in his eyes. ‘Chu Kuangren, the next time we meet, it’ll be your downfall!’
“Master, are you going to give Fuxi’s Guqin away just like that?” Lan Yu asked curiously.
From her impression, Chu Kuangren was not such an easy-going person. Moreover, Fuxi’s successor might even be a potential enemy in the future.
“Oh, yes I am, Lan Yu. Have you ever heard the saying that if you want to catch a big fish, you must first cast a long line?”
“Master, do you mean…” Lan Yu pondered.
“Today, I’ve cast my line using Fuxi’s guqin. One day, it will bring me all Ten Great Godly Weapons at once.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“I see.”
…
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak somewhere, the ten Godly Weapon wielders were gathered once more.
Fuxi’s successor was holding Fuxi’s Guqin with a smile on his face.
When it came to firepower, Fuxi’s Guqin was only a Pseudo Source Supreme Treasure, and there were many weapons more powerful than it in the Immortal World.
However, it was still one of the Ten Godly Weapons.
Meanwhile, the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation would be his trump card to defeat Chu Kuangren. “Chu Kuangren, the guqin you gave me today will be the tool that seals your death tomorrow!”
“Alright, now that the Ten Great Godly Weapons have been gathered. It’s time for us to cultivate the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation,” Long Xuan said impatiently.
Fuxi’s successor looked around him to see that all Ten Great Godly Weapon wielders had arrived.
Even the Endless Sky Imperial Commander was there.
He was a young man who wore a jade crown and possessed an air of nobility. Fuxi’s successor could sense power on par with his own from the Endless Sky Imperial Commander.
“Since the Ten Great Godly Weapons are all here, let’s begin cultivating the formation technique.”
Fuxi’s successor released a beam of divine light, displaying the layout of the Ten Directions Formation before everyone for them to cultivate.
There was a look of excitement on everyone’s faces.
Several months later, an incomparably powerful energy blast erupted from that mountain. Colorful Immortal Sparks flowed out and lit up the land.
The whole mountain peak was reduced to dust.
Fuxi’s successor and the others walked out amidst the Immortal Sparks, with each of them holding a Godly Weapon.
Fuxi’s successor was holding Fuxi’s Guqin, Hua Xi was holding the Nuwa Stone, the Holy Longevity Imperial Commander was holding the Kongtong Seal was held by, the Endless Sky Imperial Commander was holding the Great Heaven Tower, Long Xuan was holding the Pan Gu Axe, Xuanyuan’s successor was holding Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong’s successor was holding the Shennong Cauldron, the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden was holding the Kunlun Mirror, while the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist was holding the Eastern Sovereign Bell.
Meanwhile, Fa Hai, the newest member to join the secret plan of defeating Chu Kuangren, was holding the last weapon, the Yokai Refining Flagon.
