Chapter 83: Refining an Honorable With the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, Taixu Temple’s Wuchen Zi
Gluttonous Devouring Technique!
That technique was a Sage Ruler Technique in which Chu Kuangren had obtained from the Black Light Sage. It was an incredibly strong technique that enabled the user to establish a refining dimension within their bodies. Cultivators who were sucked into that dimension would have their blood and flesh essence subsequently processed.
If the target were ordinary cultivators, Chu Kuangren could use the Gluttonous Devouring Technique on them without fail. However, facing an Honorable, Chu Kuangren would need to first weaken his opponent till the brink of death before using that technique. Otherwise, based on his current level of cultivation, Chu Kuangren would not succeed in using that technique.
The dimension that was created by the Gluttonous Devouring Technique was one of pitch-black darkness. After the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator was sucked into it, an immense fear started to well up deep inside him.
Following that, powerful refining energies erupted around the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator before his blood and flesh gradually eroded and broke down.
“What kind of weird technique is this!”
“No, please… No!”
If the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable was his peak state, he might have stood a chance in holding back the refining energy. However, because he was heavily injured and hence terribly weakened, he was like a sitting duck in the face of the refining energy.
Multiple bursts of blood and flesh essences were circulated throughout Chu Kuangren’s body via the refining dimension from the Gluttonous Devouring Technique. In the end, these essences headed towards his internal spiritual mound and gathered there.
His Four Great Supreme Daoist Foundations, namely the Foundation Establishment, Golden Jade, Nascent Soul, and Purple Palace let out a dazzling divine ray that felt seemingly joyful.
The blood and flesh essences were absorbed by the Four Great Supreme Daoist Foundations and converted into pure spiritual power that expanded Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound while improving his cultivation.
The essence of an Honorable had much effect on Chu Kuangren, allowing him to raise his cultivation to the peak late stages of Paradise Realm.
However, it might also be due to how strong Chu Kuangren’s Daoist Foundation was too. If an ordinary cultivator were to absorb the same amount of essences as he did, he would have experienced much more significant growth.
Then again, the important fact was there was an increase in one’s combat power.
Chu Kuangren licked his lips. “What a splendid technique this is. With the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, all the world’s cultivators are basically essence pills waiting to be eaten indeed.”
Thinking of this, Chu Kuangren suddenly shuddered. He then quickly tossed that dangerous thought away and restabilized his Daoist heart.
Although the technique was strong, the user would end up reaping the bad fruit of their own karmic actions if it was not controlled properly. Not only would their reputation and luck be ruined, but they might even fall into the process of becoming a demon.
The user should be the one in control of the techniques they used and not the other way around!
After killing the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator, Chu Kuangren went to the mountain top, grabbed that Sage Grade Supreme Elixir, and kept it within his Yin and Yang ring.
Although the old Daoist man not far away was very unsatisfied, he still had to accept the facts. Not to mention how powerful that young man’s strength was to even defeat the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator, the mere mention of his name ‘Chu Kuangren’ was already frightening enough.
‘Because there are three f*cking sage orthodoxies looking over that young man’s back!’
The old Daoist walked towards Chu Kuangren and greeted, “Greetings Brother Chu, my name is Ling Zheng, First Vein of the Purple Void from the Taixu Temple.”
After witnessing that Chu Kuangren was able to kill the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator, Ling Zheng had chosen to address him as a fellow Daoist brother. That meant that Chu Kuangren was held on the same level of existence as him.
At that point, Ling Zheng could not help but lament at Chu Kuangren’s greatness. ‘Having the protection of three sage orthodoxies, and even possessing such impressive talents, that person’s future is truly going to be a bright and limitless one. Not to say he’ll become an Emperor, but this man is certainly going to become a sage when the time comes.’
“Greetings Brother Ling.” Chu Kuangren gently nodded.
Since that person had greeted him as a fellow Daoist, he might as well not refuse and go along with it. At the same time, Chu Kuangren was also surprised to find that Ling Zheng came from Taixu Temple.
‘Well isn’t this a coincidence?’
He was just going to visit the Taixu Temple as well.
Chu Kuangren then told Ling Zheng his intentions.
“We, the Taixu Temple will definitely welcome Brother Chu if he wishes to pay us a visit.” With a smile, Ling Zheng then led Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu towards the Taixu Temple.
…
The Taoxu Temple was located somewhere off the beaten path within the mountains.
That day, the sound of bells ringing echoed and spread throughout the Taixu Temple. It was a sign that an esteemed guest was coming to visit the place.
A few of the disciples were impatiently looking out for their guests in front of the mountain gate.
Not long after, an old man leading a man and woman arrived. Seeing that, a few of the disciples hurriedly went to welcome them.
“Greetings Elder Ling, Brother Chu, and Sister Lan.” Those disciples had received the message earlier so they knew that Ling Zheng was bringing Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu for a visit.
“Greetings. Where are the Temple Lord and the others?”
“They’re already waiting at the grand pagoda.”
The disciples then led the three of them further up the mountain.
Along the way, a few of the disciples were secretly checking out Chu Kuangren, since there were just too many rumors and news surrounding that person.
The key point was that each of them was similarly shocking and astounding.
They were just too curious about that person.
‘Everyone here is around the same age, so why is Chu Kuangren so amazing?’
In the grand pagoda of the Taixu Temple, the current Taixu Temple’s Lord and a few other elders were already gathered there, waiting for Chu Kuangren’s arrival.
One thing to keep note of was that those people were Honorables themselves, with the Taixu Temple’s Lord being an Honorable Supreme as well, but all of them had been waiting for a young junior to arrive. If word about this were to spread, the cultivators around the world would be dumbfounded.
However, they had no choice but to take Chu Kuangren, as he was now, seriously.
Seeing that a white-robed figure was walking into the grand pagoda, the Taixu Temple’s Lord smiled. “Word says that the Black Heaven Sect’s Elder Senior Brother is a remarkable person, and today it seems that the rumors are not false. The appearance of a dark fairy descending upon the world truly is a fitting description for you.”
“You’re too kind, Temple Lord.” Chu Kuangren greeted and bowed.
“Ling Zheng has already informed me of Brother Chu’s intention to visit. I shall arrange someone tomorrow to spar with you, Brother Chu.”
“Many thanks, Temple Lord.”
“Elder Wang, Brother Chu has traveled a long way to get here. Please bring him to our guest quarters to rest.” The Taixu Temple’s Lord said towards an elder beside him.
“Yes, of course.”
After Chu Kuangren and the others were gone, the Taixu Temple’s Lord’s suddenly had a stern look on his face. “One Honorable Supreme and the other two are at least in the same existence as Honorables. The rumors are true, the three great sage orthodoxies are protecting this man on his path of cultivation. This is really shocking indeed.”
“Chu Kuangren is just too talented and skilled.”
“That person has enough strength to kill an Honorable.” After that, Ling Zheng told the others in detail about how Chu Kuangren killed the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Honorable cultivator.
Everyone in the grand pagoda gasped in shock at what they heard.
“Being able to fight a Battle Monarch while still in the Paradise Realm already qualifies as a Young Emperor, but what about killing an Honorable then? What kind of beast is this sky-pride? Isn’t this just too terrifying?”
“This person’s strength cannot be measured by ordinary common sense.”
“I’m afraid that even Wuchen will find it hard to fight against him then.”
The crowd discussed in the grand pagoda, lamenting about what they had learned.
…
Under Elder Wang’s guidance, Chu Kuangren was brought to a guest room.
“Brother Chu, there’s a small bell inside this room. If you require something, just ring the bell and someone will attend to you soon after,” Elder Wand politely said.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“You’re welcome. We’re glad to have you as a guest here as well.”
Elder Wang left after that.
When Chu Kuangren entered the guest room, he noticed that there were a few rooms within it and there was also a bell hung on the main door. Curious, he went to shake it.
Then, a soothing ringing sound rang out. Not long after, a young Daoist with short hair came to him and asked Chu Kuangren what was the matter.
“Since this is my first time here, little Daoist, I don’t really know much about the fun places to visit around here. Mind if you tell me about them? ”
“Sure, of course.”
The little Daoist then started to tell Chu Kuangren about the places to visit.
Halfway through, the little Daoist noticed Chu Kuangren’s gaze was outside so he looked out curiously as well.
A young man wearing a green Daoist robe with a delicate face was slowly walking towards them. He had a calm temperament about him.
Upon seeing that person, the little Daoist was very shocked and he immediately went to greet him. “Greetings, Brother Wuchen!”
The name ‘Wuchen Zi’ was a legendary one within Taixu Temple. He was the most remarkable sky-pride among the younger generation of cultivators. Besides that, he was the only cultivator who was acknowledged with a Taixu Seal for the past thousands of years.
“Mhm.” Wuchen Zi gently nodded. After that, he folded his hands and bowed at Chu Kuangren. “Greetings, Brother Chu, my name is Wuchen Zi.”
“Greetings, Brother Wuchen.”
Chu Kuangren smiled gently as a few runes flashed across his eyes. He was already using the Eye of Revelation to observe and gather information about his opponent.
