Chapter 47: Orthodoxies Feud, Fangtian Initiates A Challenge, Are You Qualified?
The Capital City of Royal Azure Dynasty!
Unlike other sage orthodoxies, the Royal Azure Dynasty functioned like a country. It boasted vast territories and was a far more sophisticated city than White Cloud City.
There were several cultivation shops on the main street, where many cultivators flocked the area. Occasionally, one could even see several Paradise Realm expert cultivators roaming around.
“Wow, this Capital City is so sophisticated,” Chu Kuangren said.
“I know, right? No one would suggest otherwise.”
Boom…
Then, an explosion happened at the end of the street, catching everyone’s attention.
“Someone’s dueling. Quick, let’s go watch.”
“Another exciting piece of drama to see.”
“The sky-prides from all over the places have been flocking to this Capital City in the past few days. As the saying goes, there can never be two tigers in one territory. It’s definite that something would happen when they’re all here.”
The crowd rushed towards the end of the street.
Li Xingchen dragged Chu Kuangren along.
On the rooftop of a high-rise building, two youngsters were facing each other directly. Their strong battle poises were evident.
“Looks like Zhiyang Valley has decided to join the party, too. However, if you think you can get to the princess, you’re better off living a fool’s dream,” a cultivator dressed in white robes said.
On the other side, the Zhiyang Valley cultivator did not let his opponent have his way, either. He said, “Nevermind if I can marry the princess, but as long as I’m here, the Serene Wisdom Sect shall never stand a chance.”
“You bastard!”
“You fool!”
“F*ck you, make a move if you have the guts!”
“Who’s afraid? The only concern I have is you chickening out.”
The Daoists from two large sage orthodoxies were cursing at each other even before clashing in battle.
Chu Kuangren and his group made it to the scene.
“Looks like it’s Huayun from Serene Wisdom Sect and Lin Batian of the Zhiyang Valley. No wonder they’re fighting,” Li Xingchen said.
Chu Kuangren was puzzled and asked, “Why’s that the case?”
“Brother Chu, these two sage orthodoxies have had a long-standing feud with one another. Legend has it that the Founding Forefathers of both sage orthodoxies were once competing fiercely over the same woman.
“Later on, the woman ended up refusing both of their attempts, but the two did not resolve their issues at all. In fact, throughout the development of their orthodoxies, the two groups quarreled for many reasons. At some points, it even nearly sparked a war between the two orthodoxies.”
Li Xingchen said.
Chu Kuangren was nearly speechless from Li Xingchen’s explanation. He asked, “Just like that? Which woman was so attractive that it made the forefathers so infatuated?”
“I don’t know,” Li Xingchen shook his head. He had only gotten his information from words of mouth, as well. However, it was widely known that Zhiyang Valley and Serene Wisdom Sect had long been at odds, it was then unsurprising that their Daoists were always fighting.
Above the high-rise building, the two youngsters were battling even more fiercely. Their explosive Daoist rhymes spread all over the battleground, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
Amongst the spectators were also several sky-prides who came to participate in the matchmaking.
“These two orthodoxies are never going to change. It’s so childish,” a young cultivator dressed in white clothes dissed.
Then, he shifted his attention away from the battle and scanned across the crowd. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face and immediately shouted in surprise, “It’s him!”
It was Chu Kuangren that the youngster saw.
Despite it being a sizeable crowd, he still managed to see Chu Kuangren. Those deity-like features were more eye-catching than the battles between the sky-prides above.
“Great, finally I get to meet you.”
The youngster laughed coldly.
In the past few days, Chu Kuangren’s name had been spread by many across the world. Naturally, portraits of his face spread along with his reputation as well, which was why the youngster was able to recognize the face he saw.
The elegant facial features were so recognizable that it could only belong to one person in this world.
“How can I help you?”
Chu Kuangren turned his body and saw the approaching youngster.
Amid Chu Kuangren’s confusion, the youngster loudly announced,” I am Fangtian from the Five Ways Sect, and I would like to hereby challenge you, the Elder Senior Brother from the Black Heaven Sect!”
His voice was so loud, it echoed across the entire street.
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar.
Even the sky-prides who were in the middle of their battle stopped and looked at the crowd.
“The Elder Senior Brother of Black Heaven Sect… it’s Chu Kuangren!”
“Where is he?”
“It’s Chu Kuangren, the person who declared war against the entire world. Looks like he’s here too!”
“Haha, where’s the Elder Senior Brother of Black Heaven Sect? Have him come out and face me, I would like to see how good is the so-called supreme sky-pride.”
“Damn it, it’s the brute that killed an Honorable One!”
“It was only because of the Primordial Purple Haze that he managed to kill Honorable Swordsman White Cloud. In terms of cultivation base, Honorable Swordsman White Cloud would have easily crushed him with one finger.”
All the cultivators were shocked.
Chu Kuangren’s reputation was well-known.
It was comparable to the reputation of a Supreme Honorable.
Becoming a Supreme Daoist Physique, declaring war against the world, killing a Supreme Honorable, possessing the Yuan Ling treasure… all of these events were already heard by most cultivators, even if they did not pay particular attention to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren’s lips twitched a little.
Who was this person?
Did he need to speak so loudly?
It was childish of him to initiate a challenge so rashly.
Chu Kuangren, bearing the features of a goddess, was immediately identified by most of the crowd when Fangtian shouted his name.
Many gasped in shock upon seeing him.
Many female cultivators brightened up too.
“I didn’t know such a handsome person could exist in this world.”
“My God, if I were Princess Linglong, I would’ve canceled the matchmaking and have the Dynasty King grant a marriage for us.”
“Agreed, he’s too good-looking.”
“Such unique features, is he a deity who descended from the sky?”
“The silver-haired woman beside him is such a beauty. From the way I see it, even Princess Linglong pales in comparison to her.”
The crowd’s chattering sound became louder.
Meanwhile, as Fangtian inched closer to Chu Kuangren, mysterious Daoist rhymes flowed from within his body, seemingly altering between the Five Elements of the physical realm.
Li Xingchen said to Chu Kuangren, “Brother Chu, he’s Fangtian, a Daoist from the Five Ways Sect. He once said openly that if he sees you, he’ll let you have a taste of what the Five Ways Sect is capable of.
“Not only that, I’ve heard that he’s ascended to Paradise Realm ever since he was last defeated by Gu Changge. You should be careful, good luck!”
Li Xingchen retreated immediately after finishing his sentence.
He proceeded to cheer for Chu Kuangren from the crowd.
Chu Kuangren glared at Li Xingchen. Some best friend!
“Master, let me handle this,” Lan Yu said.
Chu Kuangren felt comforted.
At the end of the day, Lan Yu was still the most reliable companion he had.
“What now? The Elder Senior Brother has chosen to hide behind a woman?” Fangtian sneered at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren looked at Fangtian in indifference and said, “If you couldn’t even defeat Lan Yu, why would I bother wasting my energy?”
Lan Yu raised her chin slightly and said, “Not everyone has the privilege to challenge my Master. Are you qualified to do so?”
Then, her blue-white dress faded in a glimmer of light and was replaced by a set of shiny silver-white armor. Her wings spread outwards as she positioned herself into her combat stance.
The crowds were astonished, “A Winged Human!”
Within Firmament Star, there existed tribes aside from humans, such as Winged Human Tribes, Yasha Tribes, and Ashura Tribes.
There were even the Sage Tribes, which was equivalent in might to a sage orthodoxy.
“Hilarious! You’re just a personal maid and you wish to stop me?”
Fangtian let out a battle roar and a golden orb began to glow in his palm. Then, a stream of sharp sword qi was ejected from it.
Daoist Element of the Five Ways, Gold!
