Chapter 446 - Meeting The Divine Predictor Once Again, Stop Overestimating Yourselves
In front of the Divine Predictor Pavillion.
Chu Kuangren’s arrival had become the talk of the town.
At this moment, the great doors of the Divine Predictor Pavilion opened, and out came a young boy dressed in green. He bowed upon seeing Chu Kuangren.
“Esteemed guest, my teacher humbly invites you in for a visit.”
The young boy looked at Chu Kuangren with a face full of curiosity.
Despite his young age, he was not ignorant of the happenings in the world. For a well-known person such as Chu Kuangren, he basically grew up listening to his tales and great achievements.
Hence, the young boy was very curious about this person.
Seeing Chu Kuangren for the first time made his heart skip a beat.
‘This guy is just too handsome.’
“Thank you.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Led by Hao Yue, the young boy dressed in green, both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu stepped foot into the Divine Predictor Pavilion. It was a place no one could enter for the past few years.
The people on the streets were extremely shocked.
“He really went in.”
“And with the personal welcome of the young boy, Hao Yue as well. It seems like the divine predictor really values him unlike any other.”
Not long after Chu Kuangren had entered Divine Predictor Pavilion, several people appeared and surrounded the area.
These people were armed with weapons and had ferocious qi around their body.
As such, the pedestrians hurriedly left the area.
“What a fierce-looking group of people. Why are they here?”
“Nonsense, they are here for Chu Kuangren of course. Now that he’s a wanted figure in the six top-notched orthodoxies, a lot of people are after his life.”
“I got to hand it to them for daring to appear on the streets so openly like that.”
….
Chu Kuangren was not aware of what was happening outside.
After entering the divine predictor Pavilion and walking past a few corridors, he and Lan Yu arrived at a great hall. There sat the divine predictor dressed in ragged clothes.
“Greetings, Brother Chu.”
“Greetings as well, Mister Predictor.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Please, have a seat.”
The few of them then sat down in the hall.
A mysterious and inexplicable hint of Daoist Rhyme flashed across the divine predictor’s eyes as he looked at Chu Kuangren. Then, he said in amazement. “I can’t believe brother Chu has obtained such a wonderful Opportunity of Fortune. It seems the Heavenly Punishment Seal is a blessing in disguise for you.”
As one of the most experienced and unpredictable people in Firmament Star, the divine predictor had his own means as well. While others only knew that the Heavenly Punishment Seal had locked Chu Kuangren’s cultivation base, the divine predictor had sensed something beyond that.
However, whatever he sensed was enough to make him shudder in fear.
He could only say Chu Kuangren was an outlier that even he could not comprehend.
Chu Kuangren merely let out a slight chuckle.
He did, in fact, obtain a lot of benefits from the Heavenly Punishment Seal but had not fully revealed them as of now.
“Mister, you listing me as the first rank on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard has given me quite some trouble,” Chu Kuangren suddenly said.
“Oh, are you afraid of troubles?”
“Heh. I’m not.” Chu Kuangren grinned.
His visit to the divine predictor this time did not involve anything important. In fact, he just happened to pass by and decided to catch up with an old friend.
Both of them talked for a while.
During that time, the divine predictor spoke to him regarding various matters.
For instance, he talked about the Nine Heavens and Underworld.
Or about some of the outlawed sky-prides that had not been ranked on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard…
Chu Kuangren’s visit this time was not for naught. He had gotten to know lots of useful and secret information from the divine predictor, which might help him in the future.
“Thank you very much, Mister Predictor. I’ve gained a lot during this visit.”
“Don’t sweat it, Brother Chu. The path you’re on will be a very long one after all. I’m just a guy who’s guiding you along the way.”
The divine predictor’s words carried a double meaning.
Chu Kuangren had noticed it as well.
From what he knew, the divine predictor was extremely mysterious, and there was nothing that he did not know of in this world.
Chu Kuangren would always gain something in return every time he met the divine predictor.
Besides, the divine predictor seemed to always appear at the right moment to provide him with the appropriate information. It was only reasonable for him to say that he was merely guiding the way.
“Alright, I shall take my leave now.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled and no longer gave much thought to that reply.
After Chu Kuangren left, the divine predictor smiled. Then, he turned around and looked at the great hall. “It’s time I leave as well. After being here for three years, I’ve finally done what I set out to do.”
“Teacher, are you going to leave now? Will I get to meet you again?”
The young boy Hao Yue was slightly upset.
“Oh, if the fates allow it, we’ll definitely see each other again.”
The divine predictor smiled as his figure became more ethereal until he finally disappeared into the void.
“Farewell, teacher.” The young boy Hao Yue knelt and uttered.
…
Chu Kuangren came out from the Divine Predictor Pavilion.
Dozens of different auras immediately locked onto him the moment he stepped out into the open. Each of them was at the level of a Sage.
As for the streets outside the Divine Predictor Pavilion, it had long been emptied.
Everyone clearly knew what was going to happen around here. Hence, they had long deserted the area for fear of being dragged or injured by the battle.
Chu Kuangren let out a slight grin. “Wow, dozens of Sages, huh? It’s been some time since I’ve gotten into such a situation. Is everyone here to kill me?”
His voice was not loud but was clear and audible.
The Sages who were hiding in the void appeared one by one.
Chu Kuangren glanced at them and remarked, “Oh, there are some familiar faces among you. I can’t believe more Sages have emerged while I was away. But that’s good. I was worried that there’d be no Sages left for me to kill when I come out.”
His last few words seeped into everyone’s hearts like a chilling wind.
Even if there was no sign of spiritual power on the person standing before them, the Sages at the scene could still feel a chill run down their spine.
“Don’t blame us for doing this, Chu Kuangren! You only have your arrogance to blame! Someone like you doesn’t deserve to exist in this era!”
A Sage yelled.
He was one of the few who became a Sage during these recent years. Hence, his fear of Chu Kuangren was not as strong as the senior Sages.
After all, he had never faced Chu Kuangren personally in a fight before.
“That’s right, Chu Kuangren. You’re guilty of all the crimes you ever committed. You may own two Emperor Weapons, but you have no cultivation base. Do you think you can continue to live peacefully by relying on your past fame and glory? In your dreams.”
“Hand over the Emperor Weapons, and we shall allow you to kill yourself and keep your honor. Otherwise, don’t blame us for taking things the hard way.”
A few more Sages added.
Some of the senior Sages’ eyes twitched uncontrollably.
D*mn.
Even they did not dare to talk to Chu Kuangren like that.
Although there was no sign of spiritual power on him now, he had left such a traumatic impression on them that it was hard to forget.
“It’s been a while since anyone dared to speak to me like this,” Chu Kuangren mumbled. Then, he lifted his hand to form a golden greatsword with mysterious runes and unleashed it towards the Sage who clamored the most.
The sword runes immediately shot through the air!
Its chilling Sword-based Daiost Rhyme locked onto that Sage. That Sage yelled, channeling all his spiritual power to unleash a fist attack.
When the sword and fist collided, that Sage screamed in pain as the rune sword went through his chest, nailing him on a nearby wall.
A Sage was killed by a single sword attack!
This horrifying strength shocked all the Sages at the scene.
“What terrifying power!”
“D*mn. Is his cultivation base sealed?”
The Sages at the scene said in horror.
“Stop overestimating yourselves. Even with the Heavenly Punishment Seal, Chu Kuangren is still not someone an ordinary Sages can deal with. Everyone, let’s attack together!” a Great Sage yelled.
At that, all the Sages rushed forward and attacked, launching various surges of Daoist Rhymes and energies at Chu Kuangren.
