Chapter 319 Ill Be Out In A Minute, The Sky Emperor Palaces Forbidden Scroll
Chapter 319: I’ll Be Out In A Minute, The Sky Emperor Palace’s Forbidden Scroll
Sky Emperor Palace.
The most top-notched sage orthodoxy in the White Tiger Domain.
Its reputation and status were more or less similar to the Overlord Sage Tribe in the Black Warrior Domain, whom no one would dare to provoke.
However, all the cultivators of the Sky Emperor Palace had a serious expression on them today. It was as if a great adversary was about to arrive at their location.
It was all because of the one person who was coming to the Sky Emperor Palace today.
“He’s here.”
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord suddenly looked into the distance.
From afar, a black Fairy Boat was approaching them among the sea of clouds. It was like a gigantic ancient beast, and it made everyone feel extremely oppressed.
The more the Sky Emperor Palace Lord and others looked at the Illusive Mirage, the more oppressed they felt once they thought about that person on board that Fairy Boat.
A short moment later.
Two figures were seen descending from the Illusive Mirage.
It was a man and a woman.
They were Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu respectively.
Everyone could not help but lament when they saw those two most powerful young people in the world.
For Chu Kuangren, it was needless to say since even a Great Sage could not do anything to him.
However, Lan Yu was remarkable in her way as well. Having defeated the strongest Young Emperor Chang Tian in the Sky-Pride Championship, her immense strength was already known to the world.
“You’ve arrived, Sect Leader Chu.”
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord hurriedly went up and welcomed him politely.
Chu Kuangren nodded.
“Are all of the Sky Emperor Palace’s cultivation techniques prepared?”
“Sect Leader Chu, are you going to take a look at them now?”
“Yeah, I’ll return once I’ve gone through them. I suppose the Sky Emperor Palace does not intend to entertain me too, right?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Who was he kidding?
Entertain him? No, the people from the Sky Emperor Palace could not wait for him to leave.
“Very well, then please follow me, Sect Leader Chu.”
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord brought Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu before a pavilion tower. It was the location where all the Sky Emperor Palace’s cultivation techniques were stored.
“Lan Yu, you can head back to the Illusive Mirage first. I’ll be out in a minute.”
“Alright, Master.”
Next to them, the Sky Emperor Palace Lord’s mouth twitched.
‘You’ll be out in a minute?’
‘What does he mean?’ Was he looking down on the Sky Emperor Palace’s cultivation techniques, thinking that he could comprehend all of them at once?
“I’ve heard about Chu Kuangren’s arrogance, but now that I’ve seen it firsthand, it appears to be true. ”
“Hmph, Sky Emperor Palace has at least a thousand scrolls on cultivation techniques, and each of them is among the top techniques in the Firmament Star, yet he still dares to boast that he’ll come out so soon. Hmph, does he think our cultivation techniques are a joke?”
“Sigh, the Sky Emperor Palace is so unlucky to have provoked someone like him.”
Seeing as Chu Kuangren entered the pavilion, the few elders could not help but mutter. However, those thoughts were only spoken in their minds of course.
They would not dare to speak their mind before Chu Kuangren.
Just after Chu Kuangren had entered the pavilion, three of Sky Emperor Palace Sages were gathered together within the depths of their orthodoxy, and Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang was among them.
“Rumors have it that when he went to the Dharma Sect, it only took him half a day to gain insights on eight thousand cultivation techniques. His level of understanding has reached an unimaginable level.”
“If it took him half a day to learn eight thousand techniques, plus he said that he’d be out in a minute, I suppose he’s confident that he can understand all the techniques within the Sky Emperor Palace in just a short while. Sigh, this person is beyond talented.”
“Heh, don’t you guys forget, there’s that scroll inside as well.”
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang then said.
The other two Sages’ eyes lit up upon hearing that. “Wait, that scroll which we deemed forbidden is among the others as well?”
“That’s right.”
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang nodded. “The scroll is just too abnormal. Anyone who has tried to gain insight from it was either mentally exhausted to death or ended up going mad. Even a Sage like me almost fell into it.”
“I believe that despite Chu Kuangren’s extremely high level of understanding, he will still get into trouble before that scroll.”
A chilling grin appeared on the corners of his mouth as he said that.
After all, Chu Kuangren had dealt such a large blow to the Sky Emperor Palace. Not only did he have them compensate and apologize to him, but they also owed him at least a billion soulstones…
How could they possibly let Chu Kuangren obtain all their cultivation techniques so smoothly?
“Seeing that you’re so daring to mess with him, Sage Zhang, aren’t you afraid that the scroll won’t affect Chu Kuangren and he’d pay you back for that instead?”
A Sage asked with a frown.
Chu Kuangren’s combat strength was just too horrifying that they would not dare to fight against him. They would never gain any benefit from doing so anyway.
“Heh, the two of you, please rest assured. Although I’ve placed that scroll inside, I’ve also added a sign that states it’s dangerous and warns others from reading it. But who the hell are we talking about here? He’s Chu Kuangren, the most peerless sky-pride the world has ever seen!”
“All sky-prides are prideful and arrogant. How can he not be interested in that scroll? The more we warn of its danger, the more it’ll pique his interest. He’ll definitely try to learn its contents.”
“But if something happens to go wrong at that time, the only one to blame for not listening to the warning will be himself. How does our Sky Emperor Palace have anything to do with it?”
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang replied confidently.
The other two Sages looked at each other and laughed as well.
“You’re right, it’ll be great news if he were to go mad from reading that scroll. Even if he ends up alright after this, we’re not the ones to blame for that too.”
“That makes sense.”
The three Sages were prepared to enjoy the show.
Meanwhile.
Chu Kuangren was going through all the cultivation techniques of the Sky Emperor Palace inside the pavilion. With his Meditational Clarity fully activated, he managed to understand and gain insights on all the cultivation techniques very quickly before merging it with his Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique.
Under that situation, his Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique continued to improve and evolve.
The terrifying Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique was unique as a Daoist Physique, for the stronger and more cultivation techniques its user learned, the more frightening its power would become.
Just with that fact alone rendered the Chaos Physique and Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, which were ranked first and second, no match to it.
However, the only catch was the limits of a person’s mental capacity. Even if their level of understanding was incredibly high, how many techniques could one possibly learn or gain insights on in their whole lifetime?
That was the main reason the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique was ranked third.
Despite that, things were different when it came to Chu Kuangren.
With the help of his Meditational Clarity trait, his speed of learning those cultivation techniques was so frightening that it was unsurpassable by anyone in the past and present. No would stand a chance against him!
The Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique could be fully utilized in his possession, and it had the ability to surpass the Chaos Physique and Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique as well!
Various techniques, Honorable Techniques, Sage Techniques…
One by one, Chu Kuangren learned all of the Sky Emperor Palace’s cultivation techniques.
Finally, he reached the topmost floor in the pavilion.
The whole area was empty with only a wooden box placed there. A paper seal was stuck on it, which said… ‘Forbidden technique, do not attempt to seek knowledge from it.’
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a while.
He went forward and tore off the so-called seal easily. “Are they messing with me? This forbidden technique doesn’t even have any restrictions or barriers placed around it. Do they think some piece of warning paper stuck on it will stop me? They’re clearly trying to trick me.”
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips, but he eventually opened the wooden box after some pondering. “Frankly speaking, this has really piqued my interest.”
Inside the wooden box was a scroll.
Upon opening the scroll, a strange surge of energy emanated from the numerous black characters which were drawn on the scroll, targeting Chu Kuangren’s mind.
The numerous characters before his eyes were akin to multiple tadpoles swimming about; it was very difficult for him to see what was written on them.
“Easy-peasy.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he steadied his mind. With the Rocksteady Daoist Core, it took him no time to break free and resist the effects of that strange energy.
Then, he started to gain insights from that scroll.
Surges upon surges of mysterious Daoist Rhymes flooded his mind. He may have the Meditational Clarity trait, but he still felt that it was still quite challenging.
“Huh, a cultivation technique that makes me feel slightly challenged even with the Meditational Clarity trait. Interesting. No wonder Sky Emperor Palace has listed it as a forbidden technique.”
