Chapter 360: Universal Cauldron Physique, Everyone’s Here For Dead Bodies, Acheron Manor’s Empyrean Walker
“Congratulations Host for drawing the God-tier Physique, the Universal Cauldron Physique!”
On this day.
Chu Kuangren got up to draw a gacha.
His eyes lit up at the prize that he had drawn.
It was yet another God-tier prize.
Moreover, it was a God-tier Physique like the Immortal Body.
He opened his inventory and looked at the introductory information regarding this Universal Cauldron Physique. The more he read, the more surprised he was.
This Universal Cauldron Physique was insanely powerful. It was a type of physique that could convert all the world’s energy into energy that suited one’s realm.
In other words.
With this physique, Chu Kuangren now had more options for when he would want to increase his spiritual power. He was no longer limited to conventional methods like absorbing heaven and earth spiritual qi or consuming pills.
The options include solar and lunar essences, uncommon flames in the world, cultivator souls, or even demonic qi sourced from the underworld...
All these could be converted into spiritual power that was suitable for him to wield.
This was undeniably an extremely appalling thing. With this physique, Chu Kuangren could increase his combat strength by engulfing strange sources of energy that no other cultivators in this world could.
He could now turn himself into a cauldron and refine the whole world!
“I was just worrying the other day that I won’t have enough resources to help me solidify the Supreme Sage Foundation Level. This Universal Cauldron Physique has arrived at just the right time!”
A joyful smile etched out on Chu Kuangren’s face.
Without speaking another word, he withdrew this physique from his inventory,
He stayed in the School of White Lotus for several days. Occasionally, he would mentally spar with the Immemorial Sage, and sometimes, he would provide teachings to the bachelor sages and maiden sages of the White Lotus School...
However, on this day.
A few uninvited guests suddenly showed up at the School of White Lotus.
One of them came from... the Outer Seas!
Inside the great hall of the School of White Lotus.
A black-robed, spirited old man with an aquiline nose stared at Immemorial Sage and said, “Immemorial Sage, may I request that you hand out Ravenblade’s corpse? Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
“As I said, I don’t have his corpse.”
“That day, at the unnamed islands, somebody saw you battling Ravenblade. When I got to Ravengale Island, his soul lantern was already extinguished. If it wasn’t you who killed him, who else can it be?!”
“Even if it was really me who killed him, I wouldn’t have his corpse either. If I did, it would’ve surely been exhumed long ago,” Immemorial Sage said coldly. Her words were laced with a deep hatred for the person it was meant for.
Upon hearing this, the old man with an aquiline nose could not help but raise an eyebrow. “After all, Ravenblade was a Sage. His Sage body would be a valuable relic to any cultivator below the Sage level. You might not have a use for it, but there must be someone in your White Lotus School who might find it handy, right?”
This was the reason he came to look for Immemorial Sage.
Casualties were usually unavoidable when two Sages fought.
Besides, Immemorial Sage had a personal vendetta with Ravenblade Sage. If it was really her who killed Ravenblade Sage, the old man knew that he could not just exact revenge however he wanted. Things were not that simple, where he could do whatever he wanted.
He must first locate Ravenblade Sage’s corpse before he could proceed with anything.
It was not that he had a close kinship with Ravenblade Sage. In fact, it would soon be time to offer a sacrifice for the Snake Deity. Ravenblade Sage may be dead, but that Sage body of his would still be a top-grade sacrificial offering.
That was right.
He was here to take Ravenblade Sage’s corpse back and use it as an offering.
“I said no, means no.” Immemorial Sage scoffed coldly. Ravenblade Sage’s corpse had already been refined by Chu Kuangren using the Avarice Technique. Nothing was left of him.
The aquiline-nosed old man frowned.
Immemorial Sage was adamant that she did not have Ravenblade Sage’s corpse, and neither did he have any proof that she had it. There was really nothing more he could do in this situation.
Immemorial Sage stopped heeding this old man.
She looked toward the other two people in the great hall. One of them was a black-robed teen, while the other was an old man in a cloak. She did not know why, but these two gave her an uncomfortable feeling.
“You two, why are you here at the School of White Lotus too?”
“I heard that the School of White Lotus’ founder, the White Lotus Sage Ruler had sealed an underworld three-headed hound. And not long ago, the three-headed hound freed himself, but then people said it got killed. We’re here for this demonic beast’s carcass.”
The black-robed man said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Immemorial Sage could feel her head began to spin.
‘What is going on?’
‘Why is everyone here to look for dead bodies?’
“We don’t have the three-headed hound’s carcass too.”
“That’s a Sage Ruler-grade being. His flesh body is extremely valuable. There’s no way the School of White Lotus would not have preserved it.”
The black-robed teen said with resolute as he stared deadly at Immemorial Sage.
“I told you. It’s not here.”
Be it Ravenblade Sage’s corpse or that three-headed hound’s carcass, Chu Kuangren had already refined them using the Avarice Technique.
How was Immemorial Sage supposed to dig them out now?
“The three-headed hound’s carcass has a great utility for me. I’m willing to part with two hundred million Top-tier soulstones in exchange for it. Otherwise, I’ll make sure the School of White Lotus will be damned,” the black-robed teen said in a threatening tone.
Immemorial Sage was now agitated.
“So many people are here at the School of White Lotus to look for dead bodies. Do you guys take the School of White Lotus as a funeral parlor now?” Just then, a white-robed figure, accompanied with a nonchalant voice, strode slowly into the great hall.
Upon seeing this person, the black-robed teen and the rest were stunned. Even a Sage like the aquiline-nosed old man could feel the fear growing inside him.
This person was Chu Kuangren.
“Chu Kuangren...”
The cloaked old man behind the black-robed teen raised his head to glance at Chu Kuangren. There was a sense of hostility in his eyes.
Then, he retracted his gaze, for fear of being exposed.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren had already seen through his identity long ago.
“King Yanluo of the Underworld, you think you can conceal your identity even in front of me?” Chu Kuangren exposed the cloaked old man’s real identity straight away.
The aquiline-nosed old man did not react.
On the other hand, Immemorial Sage was shocked. “People from the Underworld!”
She never had pleasant feelings toward the Underworld Palace. Before this, it was King Wuguan from the Underworld Palace who enabled the three-headed hound to break the seal.
“Sect Leader Chu, you truly have a bright eye. I wonder what gave it away?” King Yanluo inquired, with no intention to continue his act either.
The black-robed teen beside him also stared at Chu Kuangren curiously.
“You Underworld people always reek of a foul stench. I could smell it from miles away,” Chu Kuangren said bluntly.
He had quite several encounters with the Underworld Palace before. In fact, a few of the Ten Hellion Temple Kings of the Underworld Palace had died in his hands. Even without using the Eye of Revelation, just the energy of the techniques on the other party’s body was able to give away his identity.
“Since you’re here, you might as well stay.”
Chu Kuangren remarked before he lifted his hand and grabbed King Yanluo.
Tremendous Buddhist Light emerged and transformed into a giant golden hand. In face of this immense energy, King Yanluo, who was only an Honorable Supreme, had no means of defending it. He was caught off guard, not expecting that Chu Kuangren would make a move right there and then.
Right beside him, the black-robed teen jeered coldly. “Presumptuous!”
The black-robed teen took one stride forward, and a black skeleton emerged from his body. It emitted bouts of eerie energy that gushed towards the giant golden hand.
With a loud explosion, the giant golden hand dissipated, while the skeleton disintegrated. The black-robed teen immediately brought King Yanluo back several meters to safety.
However, Chu Kuangren remained rooted to his ground, not making a single movement, looking as sturdy as a mountain.
“Heh, to be able to block off my hit, I must say, you truly didn’t disappoint as an empyrean walker of the Acheron Manor,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Immemorial Sage and the aquiline-nosed old man looked at that black-robed teen in surprise. It had never crossed their minds that he would be an empyrean walker.
