Chapter 1972
1972 Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor Asked Chu Kuangren For Help, River Chart Inscription, You’re Too Young
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor’s expression turned grim.
He was heavily injured by the Heavenly Sword, and his Dao was almost crumbling. If he could not secure an effective healing method, he would not be able to join any kind of battle for a long time, which was unacceptable to him.
“Before the Immortal Hall still hasn’t achieved its goal, I cannot fall yet. I must figure out a way to heal my injuries. What can I do…” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor thought to himself.
...
Then, he suddenly thought of something or someone — Chu Kuangren!
He had a way of quickly curing an Embodier’s injuries.
Yun Zhongyue was also injured from the battle with the Heavenly Sword, but Chu Kuangren healed him.
That was why the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor believed Chu Kuangren might have a way to help him.
However, the thought put him in an awkward situation. Chu Kuangren was the one who expelled the Immortal Hall from the Immortal World, yet he was thinking about asking the man to heal his injuries.
It was depressing and embarrassing!
However, knowing that his undertaking for the Immortal Hall remained unfinished, he took a deep breath and convinced himself. “Whatever. A real man must be able to adapt to every situation. This isn’t a big deal!”
Therefore, with Gu Xi’s help, he searched for Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was having tea with Ye Zhu and Zi Jinlun on the brutal battlefield, looking relaxed.
“Hey, isn’t that the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor? What happened to you? Did you lose the siege on the Thirteenth Continent? No way! Really? The famous Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor lost?” Chu Kuangren teased him.
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor responded with a bitter look. If he was healthy, he would start a fight with Chu Kuangren but not now. After all, he was here to ask for Chu Kuangren’s help.
“Chu Kuangren, I was injured by the Heavenly Sword, and I’d like you to help me like you helped Yun Zhongyue the other time,” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said.
“Why should I help you?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“Chu Kuangren, both universes are at war, and my powers are irreplaceable. I hope you can consider this for the sake of our universe.”
“Irreplaceable? You overestimate yourself.”
“No matter what you said, I’m still a valuable combatant on the battlefield. Immortal King, please help me,” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor suppressed his anger and lowered himself to ask for Chu Kuangren’s help. He even called Chu Kuangren the Immortal King.
Chu Kuangren chuckled and explained, “Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor, you might not know but it consumes a lot of energy to use the Green Lotus’ Creation Energy and I can’t simply use it. It’s actually very costly.”
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor understood what Chu Kuangren meant.
He was asking for something in return.
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor had expected that before he came to Chu Kuangren, so he was prepared for that.
He tossed a Yin and Yang Ring to Chu Kuangren.
“There are one billion Immortal Crystals and all kinds of treasures inside there. I believe it will be enough,” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said.
Chu Kuangren shook his head. “I don’t want these.”
“Then, what do you want?”
“You would have to ask the one beside you.”
Chu Kuangren looked at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi’s expression shifted, and he had a bad feeling about it.
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor pondered for a while before saying, “You want the River Chart Inscription?”
“Bingo.”
Chu Kuangren sensed a strange resonance from Gu Xi, which was from the energy fluctuation unique to treasures that were manifested from the Chaos Green Lotus.
The River Chart Inscription was a Supreme Treasure in Pan Gu Universe. It was initially the two biggest leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus, so it was useful to Chu Kuangren.
Gu Xi’s expression shifted multiple times as the River Chart Inscription was indeed in his possession. Ever since he lost to Chu Kuangren, he had been searching for Opportunities of Fortune to strengthen himself, and the River Chart Inscription was one of them.
It would be extremely useful to his cultivation.
He saw it as one of his trumps to fight Chu Kuangren in the future.
Yet, to his surprise, Chu Kuangren asked for it as a reward to heal the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor.
“Of course!” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor nodded without asking Gu Xi’s consent.
“Immortal Emperor…”
Gu Xi’s expression turned bitter. He wanted to speak, but Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said to him, “Gu Xi, as part of the Immortal Hall, you should prioritize the Immortal Hall’s benefits and well-being. Now that I’m injured, it should be your priority to get me patched up. Do you understand?”
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor looked Gu Xi straight in the eyes.
Gu Xi knew he was in no position to decline under such circumstances.
Therefore, he surrendered the River Chart Inscription.
The River Chart Inscription was a scroll with a length as long as the milky way. There was also an ancient-looking tortoiseshell with mystical sexagenary patterns carved on it.
The River Chart and River Inscription were combined into an ancient treasure. Rumor had it that contained the secrets of the stars, and one could deduce the past and the future with its mystical powers.
“You can only choose one,” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said.
“The inscription.”
Chu Kuangren took the tortoise shell’s inscription without a second thought and kept it away.
Then, when he glanced at Gu Xi and spotted a hint of grievance, he grinned.
The seed of doubt had been planted.
Even though Chu Kuangren asked for the River Chart Inscription, the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor forced Gu Xi to surrender it.
There was no way Gu Xi would be okay with it. It must fuel his doubts and hatred.
In time, the doubts would grow and put the Immortal Hall in an unpredictable situation. No one would know what would happen then.
Chu Kuangren was secretly looking forward to the sprouting of the seed.
“Let’s begin then.”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand, and the Green Lotus’ Creation Energy swirled around his palm. It was then infused into the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor’s body to heal his injuries.
The creation energy was mystical.
Even an injury as severe as the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was swiftly healed, and he had recovered more than half of his Dao.
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was astonished and impressed. He muttered to himself, “With this power, Chu Kuangren will be able to dominate the Void Battlefield with ease.”
“It’s done,” Chu Kuangren said as he retracted his creation energy.
Then, Yun Zhongyue came rushing over with a girl in his arms.
The girl looked pale and seemed to be heavily injured.
“Immortal King, please save Yan’er!”
Chu Kuangren nodded. “No need to panic.”
He activated the creation energy again to infuse it into the girl’s body, and the injuries were swiftly healed. More importantly, he seemed to be doing it with ease.
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was struck with disbelief.
Chu Kuangren claimed it would cost him a lot to use the power, but it looked like he could use it at will.
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor asked for his help, but he came up with excuses not to lend a helping hand. The Immortal Emperor even had to hand over a Supreme Treasure for Chu Kuangren to heal the injuries.
If it were someone else, a fight would have broken out.
‘Chu Kuangren! You little…’
Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor clenched his teeth furiously but could not do anything about it.
With that, he swung his sleeve and left.
Chu Kuangren did not even spare a glance at him.
…
“Gu Xi, I handed your Supreme Treasure to Chu Kuangren for him to heal my injuries. Do you hate me for that?” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor asked.
Gu Xi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the question.
He felt aggrieved but was in no position to voice his thoughts.
“Immortal Emperor, you’re the Immortal Hall’s main pillar of strength. As long as you can recover, whatever price I pay would be worth it,” Gu Xi said sincerely.
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor nodded with satisfaction. “You’re a good man and a talented one. In time, you will grow powerful, but…”
Gu Xi found the Immortal Emperor’s words confusing.
But?
“You’re too young. Although you tried to conceal your emotions, they’re still showing,” Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said.
He then channeled his Daoist law energy to shroud Gu Xi whole.
“What?”
Gu Xi was shocked, and his eyes were overflowing with fear as they widened.
