“It seems like you’re the only one left now.”
Chu Kuangren said and looked at Zi Ying’s pale face.
Zi Ying got increasingly horrified as he watched Chu Kuangren approach him with every step. He had been trying to leave ever since then.
However, a certain aura had locked onto him.
It would follow him whenever he moved.
There was no way he could escape!
The person standing in front of him was so powerful that it would be futile for him to escape. Both of them were on completely different levels.
“Chu Kuangren, I’ll have you know that I’m a member of the great Planet Zi. If you kill me now, you shall suffer the deadliest repercussions from Planet Zi.”
“Y-You should think this through,” Zi Ying said with a trembling tone.
“Throughout my entire life, the one thing I can’t bear the most is being threatened by others.”
The tip of Chu Kuangren’s sword moved.
A strand of sword qi was suddenly unleashed.
Poof!
Zi Ying’s whole body and even his armor were torn to shreds by the sword qi. The Planet Zi Immortal Progeny had… fallen!
Everyone could not help but shudder upon witnessing that.
None of them expected Chu Kuangren to be this decisive, killing Immortal Progenies on a whim just like that without mercy!
“I can’t believe this lunatic killed an Immortal Progeny of Planet Zi in public just like that. Is he not afraid that Planet Zi will take revenge on him?!”
“The Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom won’t be able to protect him when that happens.”
Everyone began their discussions.
Tang Haitang also looked at Chu Kuangren, feeling a little anxious.
‘Zi Ying is an Immortal Progeny no matter what. With him dead, Planet Zi will never let Chu Kuangren off so easily.’
‘No matter how strong Chu Kuangren gets, how can he fight against the full might of Planet Zi?’
“Planet Zi, huh? It looks like we’re fated to be sworn enemies until the end.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
The Moon Wheel Banquet soon came to an end.
It was an ending that was out of everyone’s expectations.
The Immortal Progeny Zi Ying’s death, the Wang clan Great Forefather taking action, the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial intervening… No one had ever expected something like that would happen.
However, what shocked everyone the most was Chu Kuangren’s poem.
That poem lit up the darkness of the universe.
News about Chu Kuangren and his poem spread like wildfire following the Moon Wheel Banquet’s end. Eventually, everyone in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom knew about it.
It was even circulated further in the Violet Gold Galaxy.
“When is the moon round and bright? Asking the blue sky with wine in sight… D*mn, that’s a good line… Just those few sentences make me feel as if I’m a middle-aged man drinking while enjoying the beauty of a full moon night. It’s truly a wonderful and splendid poem.”
“That’s right. This poem is certainly going down in history as one of the best.”
“Don’t forget the Moon Wheel Secret Realm’s reaction to this poem too. Rumbling violently and releasing endless Moonlight? Even a great treasure like the Moonlight Essence appeared too.”
“What a guy Chu Kuangren is. His talents truly know no bounds.”
“His skill in poetry has truly stood out amongst the greats throughout history.”
“This guy is nothing short of a Poem Immortal!”
Everyone in the entire Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom was talking about the recent Moon Wheel Banquet, including Chu Kuangren and that poem he recited.
No one knew who came up with the title of Poem Immortal.
However, everyone soon knew about Chu Kuangren, the Poem Immortal.
Countless cultivators and noblewomen were fascinated by his poem.
“You guys need to stop overlooking Chu Kuangren’s other skills, you know. Mind if I remind all of you, besides being greatly skilled in crafting poems, he’s also a top-notch Immortal Progeny. The sword technique he killed the Great Daoist Celestial with is a sight to behold!”
“That’s right. That sword attack of his is truly terrifying.”
“I heard he has an Immortal Sword Technique too. He once used that technique to defeat a group of Immortal Progenies altogether.”
Within a few days, the nickname of Poem Immortal was soon changed to the Sword Poem Immortal!
The master in swordsmanship and poetry, the Sword Poem Immortal!
Inside the city hall, the great Sword Poem Immortal, Chu Kuangren, was currently using Phoenix’s Flame to reforge the Descendant Self Sword. He was in the process of integrating the Purple Source Metal into it.
“It’s finally done!”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up with joy as he retracted his Phoenix’s Flame.
At that moment, the Descendant Sword was shining brightly. Under the sun, a faint purple glow radiated from the sword’s white-jaded surface.
The Descendant Self Sword had been upgraded to a Heavenly Daoist Weapon.
With that sword, Chu Kuangren’s combat power would be further enhanced.
“You have a remarkable sword.”
A voice of praise and admiration sounded beside him.
Godly Moon Daoist Celestial walked up to him.
He looked at the Descendant Self Sword and said, “It seems like the Sword Poem Immortal is not just skilled in swordsmanship and poetry alone. I’m afraid only a handful of people in this world can match this weaponsmithing skill of yours.”
“Sword Poem Immortal?”
Chu Kuangren was taken aback.
He had been so focused on upgrading his Descendant Self Sword that he had not gone out or used his Emperor Thoughts to keep track of the outside news over the past two days.
When did he get the nickname of Sword Poem Immortal?
“Ha! Brother Chu, when you made the secret realm rumble with your poem during the Moon Wheel Banquet, making it release tons of Moonlight, and also killed a Great Daoist Celestial with one sword attack, you became a hit that night. The nickname of Sword Poem Immortal is truly a suitable one for you.”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial chuckled.
“The Sword Poem Immortal…”
Chu Kuangren laughed helplessly.
‘However, this nickname does sound kind of… cool!’
‘Alright.’
‘Although shame on me for stealing Su Shi’s1 poem, no one in this world would know about it, so it shouldn’t be a big problem, I suppose…’
“By the way, Brother Chu, I’m almost done preparing the materials that you’ve asked for the awakening of Haitang’s Immortal Physique.”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial suddenly said seriously.
“Oh, alright.”
Chu Kuangren’s expression turned serious too.
Soon after, the materials for awakening the Immortal Physique were almost ready.
Chu Kuangren refined a pill using these materials and then left the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom for the time being with the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial and Tang Haitang.
On a planet fully covered in ice and snow all year round, Chu Kuangren, Tang Haitang, and the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial arrived.
Once they arrived on the planet, a white-haired elderly man in white robes appeared from the void. It was the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal!
“Greetings, Senior Dusty Sky.”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial and Tang Haitang greeted him.
Chu Kuangren, too, nodded gently.
Although he had known the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal for only a short time, the both of them had become close friends. Hence, there was no need for formalities between them.
“Senior, is the formation ready to go?”
Chu Kuangren said. He and the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial had requested the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal’s help to awaken Tang Haitang’s Immortal Physique.
“Yes, it’s ready.”
The Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal nodded.
After that, he led everyone to a snowy mountain peak.
“In that case, let us begin,” Chu Kuangren said and then took out a pill, which he handed to Tang Haitang. “This is the Heavenly Snowy Frost Pill. This will help you to absorb more freezing qi efficiently, Lady Tang.”
Tang Haitang nodded and took the pill.
The Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal was amazed. “I see you’ve kept this well-hidden, Brother Chu. I didn’t know you were skilled in pill refinement too.”
“Haha, just a little.”
“Just a little?” The Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal smiled playfully before saying, “By the way, I’ve also read your poem from the Moon Wheel Banquet. It’s truly magnificent. I can’t believe you’re that skilled in poetry.”
“I only know a little. Hehe.”
Chu Kuangren touched his nose.
He was being honest. In terms of poetry, he only knew a little. All he could do was memorize poems.
However, the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal would never believe him.
After Tang Haitang had consumed the pill, the surrounding snow and freezing qi immediately converged towards her violently like a raging tide.
Upon seeing that, the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal waved his sleeves to activate the formation technique.
Countless Daoist patterns appeared and swirled around the area, eventually enveloping the entire planet. Soon, large amounts of freezing qi rushed towards the snowy mountain peak.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Haitang was frozen into an ice sculpture!
