Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 345 - The Glory-Seeking Empyrean Walkers, One Challenger After Another

After his battle with the Scaled Tribe, Chu Kuangren returned to the Black Heaven Sect.

Surprisingly, Chu Kuangren did not wander around in the next few days. Instead, he chose to do a closed-door meditation in the Towering Heaven Palace, which caught the elders off-guard. Did Chu Kuangren not just ascend into a Supreme Honourable? Why was he in closed-door meditation again?

Although curious, they did not give much thought to it.

While Chu Kuangren was in closed-door meditation, the appearance of the empyrean walkers had stirred many controversies within Firmament Star.

The reputable sage orthodoxies were nothing in face of these newcomers from the unknown lands. Some of the sage orthodoxies were even keen on riding on the power of these unknown lands.

However, it was not clear how they intended to achieve their goals.

Besides, as the empyrean walkers of the unknown lands began to reveal their strengths to all of Firmament Star, it put many sky-prides to shame.

The once respectable Young Emperors and Ten Unparalleled Warriors were even considered far weaker than these empyrean walkers!

Cultivating unknown techniques from the unknown land, the empyrean walkers were now the hottest topic in Firmament Star.

In Black Heaven Sect.

In a mountain cave.

Several Daoists were gathered in a circle, talking after having completed their training.

“I’ve heard that the Overlord Sage Tribe’s Young Emperor, Ba Tian, was killed by an empyrean walker from Ethereal Rapture. All it took was three moves.”

Nangong Huang said.

The Daoists were shocked at such a revelation.

They had witnessed Ba Tian’s abilities in the sky-pride championship before, and they did not expect that he would be defeated in three moves.

They could not fathom just how strong his opponent was.

“Pfft, three moves? Our Sect Leader only needs a gentle lift of his finger to crush him. They’re no match at all against Sect Leader.”

Jin Feiyan pouted her lips and said.

The other members agreed too.

However, Nangong Huang still went on to explain, “Well, we are different from Sect Leader. If we keep relying on him, the future will be grim for the Black Heaven Sect. Our abilities are still far behind those of the empyrean walkers, so we need to train harder. Who knows if there will be a day when we need to fight them?”

“That’s right.”

“As of now, perhaps only Lan Yu is most qualified among us to fight these empyrean walkers.” Murong Xuan cast a glance at Lan Yu, who was still training diligently.

Ever since their return from the First City, Lan Yu had been undergoing intense training sessions. She would only reserve two hours per day for other affairs while the rest were used for training.

Even for an Honourable, such a training schedule was exhausting. Not only would it put her physique and cultivation to test but her mental strengths as well.

Boom!

Lan Yu had just blasted a sword qi clone in the Sword Gauntlet into smithereens, and she was drenched in sweat. However, it was not long before the sword qi clone eventually reformed and retaliated, blasting her out the Sword Gauntlet.

Lan Yu retreated from the Sword Gauntlet and sighed disappointingly. ‘The forty-eighth level of the Sword Gauntlet is too difficult. The sword qi clones there never dies and their abilities are much stronger than mine. Just how in the world did Master manage to overcome this challenge?’

Lan Yu thought to herself with a frown.

She then began to make her way to the Gravity Training Grounds.

It was already in the late evening when she returned to the Towering Heaven Palace.

At night, she leveraged the palace’s spell to enhance her spiritual energy.

Then the next morning, Lan Yu woke up and walked out of her room. She noticed that Chu Kuangren was still meditating behind closed doors.

However, that day was an unusual day for the Black Heaven Sect.

On her way to the Sword Gauntlet, Lan Yu noticed that there were unusually fewer disciples around, so she halted one of the few disciples she saw on the way.

“Where did everyone go?” Lan Yu asked curiously.

“They’ve all headed to the Longevity Hall. Everyone’s curious about the arrival of an empyrean walker.”

An empyrean walker?!

Lan Yu’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she followed the disciples to the Longevity Hall where she witnessed the empyrean walker for herself.

The empyrean walker was a dignified young cultivator who was dressed in black clothes. Elder Ruyan was busy serving their newly arrived guest, not daring to slack off at all.

After all, her guest was a representative from the unknown lands.

“I’ve heard that he’s from a place called the Seven Dipper Palace. So far, he’s defeated three Young Emperors, and all it took him was one move to finish them off each time!”

“What? Is he that good?”

“That’s right. The empyrean walkers are a powerful group of cultivators that shouldn’t be underestimated. Rumor has it that their powers are equal to a Sage.”

“For real?!”

The crowd was discussing outside the Longevity Hall.

While Lan Yu was assessing the newly arrived empyrean walker, her eyes slowly turned grim. “This person is strong.”

Inside the Longevity Hall.

Ye Xin smiled and said, “I wonder where Sect Leader Chu currently is.”

“I’m afraid our Sect Leader is currently meditating behind closed doors and isn’t available to greet you.”

Elder Ruyan replied.

Ye Xin frowned at Elder Ruyan’s response. “If so, when will Sect Leader Chu complete his closed-door meditation?”

“We’re not too sure about this.”

Chu Kuangren did not reveal when he would exit his meditation, nor did he reveal the reason for his meditation.

Hence, no one in Black Heaven Sect knew the answer to Ye Xin’s answer. Considering that Chu Kuangren had once meditated for three years, it would be no surprise if this lasted for years too.

“Since Sect Leader Chu is in closed-door meditation, I shall wait patiently until he completes his session. Elder Ruyan, do you mind arranging accommodation for me?” Ye Xin smiled and said. He did not have any intention to leave.

Elder Ruyan was now the one frowning instead. “If you don’t mind, why do you insist on meeting our Sect Leader?”

“Nothing much. I heard that Sect Leader Chu possesses remarkable abilities and I wish to witness it for myself.” Ye Xin did not hesitate to reveal his true reason for visiting the Black Heaven Sect.

His answer did not surprise Elder Ruyan either.

The appearance of the empyrean walkers was to make a name for their orthodoxies and lay the foundation for the unknown lands to solidify their power in this Era of Great Battles.

Since the ancient days, there were only a few methods of bringing glory to one’s orthodoxy, and the most straightforward way was to defeat a reputable cultivator.

Who else could be more reputable than Chu Kuangren?

It was inevitable that the empyrean walkers would come for him.

“Brother Ye, please be assured that your accommodation shall be handled promptly.” Elder Ruyan gave it a thought before she answered him.

Her guest was a challenger who had come from the unknown lands, so it would be imprudent to just chase him off like that. Besides, words may spread that Chu Kuangren was a coward if she did not welcome Ye Xin.

“Where is Chu Kuangren?”

At that moment, another voice echoed from beyond the mountains of Black Heaven Sect.

The crowd looked over and saw a sturdy figure among the clouds above the Black Heaven Sect entrance.

Upon seeing the person, Ye Xin was visibly displeased. “You almost surprised me, Guo San from the Immovable Sect!”

The disciples were dumbfounded.

D*mn it, another empyrean walker?!

Elder Ruyan approached Guo San and greeted him, “Greetings, Brother. What brings you here?”

“Hah! I wish to challenge Chu Kuangren to a fight!”

Guo San laughed out loud.

Elder Ruyan shook her head helplessly.

‘Sigh, looks like we’ve got another challenger now.’
