Chapter 92: Conversations With The Dharma Sect Master And Winning Against The Honorable Supreme
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It is an honor for you to visit us, Junior Chu. The Dharma Sect doesn’t get visitors very often.”
The Sect Master smiled calmly.
“As long as the Sect Master doesn’t find me a nuisance, I’m glad.”
“Hehe, not at all. Let us find somewhere more suitable to talk. Please, come with me.” The Sect Master then led Chu Kuangren away from the stele forest.
Once they were out of the stele forest, the disciples that were hit the hardest stared at Chu Kuangren with a conflicted look in their eyes.
It was shock, unwillingness, envy, worship, and more.
Acquiring all eight thousand methods in half a day was like a myth to them.
If Chu Kuangren could achieve this, then what was he?
A deity?
Regardless of what he was, it was something unattainable to them.
“Brother Chu, You’re killing me here.” Su Tianyi looked at him with a bitter smile.
Initially, he thought that the Dharma Sect had found a peerless wizard, but he did not think that things would turn out this way.

“Apologies for not informing in advance.” Chu Kuangren smiled plainly. He wanted to see the stele forest, so he did not reveal himself.
“I’m also dumb for not being able to foresee this. With that aura, there is no way you’re a regular person. Anyone could have guessed it if they gave it more thought.”
Su Tianyi shook his head but ceased his complaints.
The group headed to the Dharma Sect’s palace.
Chu Kuangren did not beat around the bush as he said what came to mind, expressing that he wanted to spar with the Dharma Sect and solidify what he had learned.
“I heard that the lord of the Taixu Temple lost to you in terms of Dao techniques and this piqued my interest. Since Junior Chu wants to spar as well, allow me to begin.” The Sect Master smiled.
Several elders in the hall hesitated initially, but when they thought about it, they could not think of reasons to object.
If Chu Kuangren was considered a junior and the Sect Master an Honorable Supreme, it would not be unreasonable to say that this was bullying.
Yet in this case, that was bullsh*t.
After witnessing him acquire all eight thousand methods in half a day, who still dared to treat him as a regular disciple?
Moreover, even the Taixu Temple’s lord lost to Kuangren. So for the Sect Master to personally spar with him was nothing unexpected.
News of the Sect Master’s spar eventually spread throughout the Dharma Sect, sparking discussions among many cultivators who became highly anticipated of it.
The next day.
Chu Kuangren and the Dharma Sect Master stood atop a high platform after an incense bath, where countless disciples crowded to watch the spar.
“Please.” The Sect Master smiled.
Chu Kuangren was not one to care about courtesies at a ceremony. Despite having acquired the stele forest’s eight thousand methods, he still relied on his old and thoroughly-mastered sword Dao.
The Sword of The Heavens appeared as its Daoist Rhyme emitted.
With a flash of a sword ray, it headed straight for the Sect Master.
As an Honorable Supreme of the Azure Dragon Domain, the Dharma Sect Master had a very profound understanding of sword Dao.
Daoist Rhymes surrounded him — various mysterious techniques at the ready — and with an effortless flick of his sleeve, he blocked the sword ray.
The crowd gasped in amazement.
“As expected, the Sect Master is untouchable!”
“So strong.”
“Are these the Dao techniques of an Honorable Supreme? Amazing.”
Numerous disciples watched in devoted awe.
However, some elders had a solemn look on their faces. Only they could tell that the Sect Master had used at least ten techniques in that simple sleeve flick.
“So strong… Chu Kuangren’s Dao techniques are terrifying!”
“His very first strike made the Sect Master pull everything out to block it. His mastery over sword Dao and sword techniques are as profound as Honorable Xuan Qi.”
“Chu Kuangren… good for you.”
The elders exchanged some solemn glances before they turned their gazes to the platform. They did not look away after that.
“Junior Chu’s grasp on Dao techniques is extremely profound. I’m impressed,” the Sect Master spoke plainly, but a spark in him had been lit.
The two then continued to spar on the platform, going back and forth.
One would raise a hand and a method would manifest on their fingertips before a breathtaking Daoist Rhyme surrounded their body. It was gorgeous and ever-changing.
Not to mention that one of them only had a single sword and an extremely simple one at that, but its edges were boundless and second to none.
A single strike could breakthrough thousands of methods!
Be it a Dharma Sect’s Honorable sage or Chu Kuangren, both of their Dao techniques were highly refined and could be considered the best of the best.
The crowd was intoxicated with watching them spar. Some even used this chance to reaffirm their own Dao techniques.
Time passed quickly as the day turned to night, and night turned to day.
The spar continued for a full day and a night.
Chu Kuangren had defeated the Taixu Temple’s lord in terms of Dao techniques, but now that he had the stele forest’s eight thousand methods, his power grew even more.
Although the Dharma Sect Master was slightly stronger than the Taixu Temple’s lord, he was still defeated at the end of the day.
As the sun began to rise, its golden rays shone on Chu Kuangren’s body, which made it look like a golden coat was bestowed upon him. It also highlighted his refined aura even more vividly.
“Master, do you admit defeat?” Chu Kuangren asked calmly.
The Sect Master looked at him and said nothing for a brief moment before he started to laugh. “Good job, Chu Kuangren. In terms of Dao techniques, you’re essentially invincible except to the sages. I gladly accept this defeat!”
Invincible except to the sages?!
Everyone’s eyes widened upon hearing that statement and they stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. To think he had attained this level of power!
“A sage, huh?” Chu Kuangren muttered before softly laughing. “It won’t be long before I search for a sage to spar with.”
Indeed.
With his Meditational Clarity Trait, he could quickly acquire various techniques. Besides, his Roulette room would allow his abilities to improve at an alarmingly fast rate.
Very soon, he could definitely spar with a sage.
No. It would not be much of a spar.
He would win hands down.
Chu Kuangren’s words left the crowd reeling in disbelief, so much that they were stunned into silence.
Sparring with a sage?
Even an Honorable Supreme would not dare to think of such a thing.
Disregarding the fact that Chu Kuangren could look for a sage to spar, sages and Honorable Supremes differed vastly since a sage’s comprehension of Daoist techniques were on a different level.
Many years ago, an Honorable Supreme once challenged a sage, but alas, they lasted less than a minute.
The sage even went easy on them.
“Chu Kuangren, perhaps that was a little arrogant. The difference between an Honorable Supreme and a sage is far bigger than you can imagine!”
“Well, he is still young and bold.”
“How naive of you to think that you can win against a sage just because you beat an Honorable Supreme.”
“Besides, how many sages exist in the world? Most of them are Supreme Giants that hide behind the sage orthodoxies. Meeting them is hard enough, let alone sparring with them.”
Some people started to discuss in low voices.
The Dharma Sect Master smiled at Chu Kuangren. “You certainly do live up to your name as a madman, but it is not a problem. It’s normal for youngsters to live life on the edge.”
“Besides, all cultivators should have such aspirations!”
As the saying went, those that do not strive to be sages were not good cultivators. Every cultivator in the world held the same aspirations as Chu Kuangren.
However, it’s a pity that most dare not say it out loud.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, had guts!
After all, if you spoke of your dream as your reality, it would surely come true.
