Everyone was shocked by how Chu Kuangren destroyed the Immortal Retribution in a single slash.
After that, he put his Descendant Self Sword back into its sheath calmly as if he had just done something trivial.
Everyone in the Hundred Academy was extremely impressed by his demeanor.
“That’s f*cking awesome!”
“You’re truly amazing, Master Chu.”
“By the heavens, that was a freaking Immortal Retribution! It’s many times more powerful than the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms. Yet, he still managed to slash it apart just like that?”
“He’s no doubt the One and Only Throughout Eternity, The Madman Who Reigns Throughout Eternity! Master Chu is truly the best role model of this generation. If I can reach the same level of cultivation as him, I can die without regrets!”
The scholars of Hundred Academy discussed in amazement.
Everyone looked admirably at that white-robed figure who was exuding an unparalleled and otherworldly demeanor.
Looking at him, many female cultivators became obsessed.
‘He’s strong and good-looking.’
‘He’s also very good at giving lectures.’
‘How can such a perfect man exist in this world?’
There were also some people in Planquilon Immortal World spying on the Immortal Retribution inside the Hundred Academy using their Immortal Consciousness. Even they, too, witnessed Chu Kuangren destroying the Immortal Retribution in a single slash.
All of the Immortals were speechless.
They realized that Chu Kuangren’s achievements were getting increasingly shocking. It was as if the common practices of cultivation could not be applied to him anymore.
“He’s truly an anomaly.” The Dean sighed.
Inside the Heavenly Yokai Hall, the Yokai Ruler looked in the direction of the Hundred Academy with a cautious and fearful expression. “It’s all because I didn’t kill him at Divine Dragon Island back then. Just look at him now. I can’t believe he has become so powerful. I’m afraid it’ll be more difficult to kill him now.”
“But if he doesn’t die, how is my son supposed to become the Heavenly Champion?!”
“Now, how do I get back the Jade Pool Immortal’s Scripture?”
Upon further pondering, a cold and determined look appeared in his eyes. “Even if I have to exhaust all my Yokai Hall’s resources, I must get rid of this person no matter what!”
Somewhere else, inside a blood-colored cave, a handsome and dignified monk was sitting beside a bubbling pool of blood, absorbing large amounts of bloody ferocious qi into his body.
The sight of his Buddhist Light intertwining with the ferocious qi made him look like a creepy and evil Wicked Buddha.
Suddenly, the Blood Monk Disciple opened his eyes and mumbled, “Destroying the Immortal Retribution with a single slash? He really is amazing. If I were to face him in battle, the odds of me defeating him are nothing but slim. I must join forces with the others.”
“It’s time I visit that guy, I suppose.”
“The last Fated One.”
…
Inside the Hundred Academy, after destroying the Immortal Retribution with a single slash, Chu Kuangren started to familiarize himself with the power formed by combining the many physiques within his body.
From studying the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique in his recent closed-door meditation, he managed to combine all of his physiques — except for the Indestructible Physique and the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique — into a new and incomparably powerful Daoist Physique!
It was this new Daoist Physique’s power that he used to destroy the Immortal Retribution.
“The Indestructible Physique and Chaos Celestial Demon Physique is in a far higher grade than the other Daoist Physiques. It’s better that I don’t merge them together for now.”
“However, I’ve successfully combined all my remaining Daoist Physiques. If I keep on researching and improving, I’ll soon be able to combine these two Daoist Physiques into the current one I’ve created. It’ll be a completely new Daoist Physique, unique to me alone,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Feeling that he had gotten even more powerful than before, his eyes lit up with excitement. Although his cultivation level remained the same, his combat prowess had increased tremendously.
Besides that, he had also solved the complicated issue of having so many different Daoist Physiques by combining them. Now, he was one step into forming a Daoist Physique unique to only himself.
“Since I’ve merged all of these physiques into one, from now on, this Daoist Physique shall be known as the… Ultimate Almighty Source Physique!” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Indestructible Physique, Chaos Celestial Demon Physique, and Ultimate Almighty Source Physique were the three great Daoist Physiques he currently possessed.
A cultivator possessing any one of those Daoist Physiques could reign supreme through the universe, especially the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique. It was a Daoist Physique that the universe had never seen, solely created by Chu Kuangren with the Tome of Physiques! It was the only one in existence throughout the known universe!
“Congratulations, Master Chu. It seems like you’ve taken a huge step in the path of cultivation once more.”
At that moment, the Dean came up and congratulated him.
Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Many thanks, sir.”
After some small talk with the Dean, Eldest Master, and others, Chu Kuangren started mentally sparring with them and discussing cultivation techniques.
Although it was a mental sparring match, the Dean, Eldest Master, and others looked as though they were students listening attentively to a lecture.
Chu Kuangren’s understanding and knowledge of the Dao were just too profound. Besides having a monstrous rate of understanding and learning, he had read through everything in the Scripture Sea, created several new Immortal Techniques, and even possessed two supreme Immortal Scriptures. As such, no one in Planquilon Immortal World was on par with him in terms of cultivation knowledge.
That mental sparring session lasted three days and three nights.
The Dean, Eldest Master, and others benefited greatly from it. All of them were now more impressed and amazed by Chu Kuangren.
They were very tempted to take Chu Kuangren as their master, following him every day and listening to his lectures and guidance.
“As expected of the one who managed to cultivate the Enlightenment Source. Master Chu, it’s only a matter of time before you become the Holy Late Teachers of this academy.”
The Holy Late Teachers of the Hundred Academy were highly reputable figures in the Immortal World. Even the elites would have to treat them with respect.
“You flatter me, Dean.” Chu Kuangren laughed while shaking his head.
“No wonder the students like to attend your lectures so much. If I were your student, Master Chu, I’d surely attend them every day,” said the Fourth Master.
“Haha, I’d be extremely busy if that were the case.” Chu Kuangren shook his head as he chuckled.
After sending the Dean and his fellow Masters off, Chu Kuangren did not resume his cultivation. Instead, he lived a carefree life for the next few months.
He would occasionally instruct Lan Yu, Shang Honghua, Lil Fox, and others in their cultivation on top of giving lectures to the academy’s students. He also took up gardening, living a simple life.
“Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a God-tier item— the Formation Master’s Inheritance.”
On that day, Chu Kuangren spun the Fantasy Roulette to draw a prize.
He was happy to receive such an item.
God-tier items were generally not so bad compared to the lower-tier ones.
The same thing could be said for the Formation Master’s Inheritance.
“Accept item.”
As soon as Chu Kuangren obtained that inheritance, a huge amount of knowledge about formations erupted within his mind.
After digesting all of the knowledge contained within the Formation Master’s Inheritance for some time, a glint flashed across Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
“It looks like I’ve underestimated this Formation Master’s Inheritance,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Formations were one of the supportive techniques in cultivation. Known as one of the Four Great Supportive Practices, it was on par with alchemy, weaponsmithing, and runes.
Chu Kuangren had some knowledge about formations from the past. However, after receiving the Formation Master’s Inheritance, he suddenly felt that his understanding of formations was nothing.
Normally, Formation Masters could use a variety of resources like spiritual marrows and Immortal crystals to set up their formation. The formations would usually encompass a certain area, having certain offensive or defensive capabilities, or both.
Most Formation Masters in the universe were at that level.
However, the Formation Master’s Inheritance he received was different. It involved using the terrain, mountains, rivers, heavens and earth, and even the surrounding planets as formations!
With every single action, he could channel the energy of the heavens and earth as a formation!
It was filled with endless mystery and potential!
After receiving the inheritance, Chu Kuangren’s formation knowledge immediately surpassed his alchemy, weaponsmithing, and rune crafting knowledge. It had become his most well-versed skill among the Four Great Supportive Practices he knew.
“Seeing that I’ve been in the academy for so long, it’s about time I go out and explore.”
Chu Kuangren looked into the distance and mumbled.
Hence, after a few days, he left the academy with Lan Yu and Lil Fox. As for the Sword Crown, he continued giving lectures in the academy while Chu Hong had entered into a deep slumber, attempting to awaken her bloodline for the second time.
Meanwhile, Shang Honghua had returned to Jade Clarity Immortal Sect.
