Zhuo Donglai was waiting beyond the clouds, looking into it as a look of fear flashed in his eyes. “These clouds are weird. If it weren’t for the treasure I have that awoke me at the last moment, I wonder how long I would be trapped in those clouds.”
“Where are Yu Zhi, Chu Kuangren, and the others? Could they be lost in the clouds?”
He did not care about Chu Kuangren.
However, he was more than worried for Yu Zhi.
“Shall I enter again to explore?”
“No way. It’s too dangerous.”
Zhuo Donglai shook his head.
At that moment, a pitch-black figure approached him.
“Who is it?”
Zhuo Donglai’s gaze darkened.
“Greetings, Eastern King School’s Heavenly Champion. I’m the Demonic Dao’s Soul Vanquisher.” The pitch-black figure was the Soul Vanquishing Tribe’s disciple.
“Oh, you’re from the Demonic Dao. What are you doing here?” asked Zhuo Donglai.
He had nothing much to do with the Demonic Dao.
“I’m here to invite you to join a plan of ours.”
“I’m not interested in any of the Demonic Dao’s plans. If you need my help, you’ve come to the wrong person,” Zhuo Donglai said indifferently.
“What if the plan is related to Chu Kuangren?”
The Soul Vanquisher chuckled.
Zhuo Donglai was a little stunned upon hearing that, but then, he said calmly, “In that case, I’m a little interested. Tell me what it is.”
…
Zhuo Donglai was pondering beyond the clouds.
“Chu Kuangren… Heh, I don’t even know whether he is alive or dead. What plan can it be?”
Zhuo Donglai snickered after hearing the Soul Vanquisher’s plan.
At that moment, two figures walked out from the clouds.
They were Chu Kuangren and Yu Zhi. At the sight of them, Zhuo Donglai furrowed his brows as his sharp senses told him something was wrong between them.
It seemed like… they had become more intimate.
‘What did they experience in the clouds?’
‘Besides, how was Chu Kuangren not affected by the clouds?’
He had a series of questions in his mind.
With that, he hurriedly walked up to them and asked with concern. “Yu Zhi, are you alright? I was worried sick when you were in there.”
Zhuo Donglai was not sure if it was his illusion, but he felt that Yu Zhi before him was slightly different. She looked much nobler and more glamorous.
‘Could she have… obtained a great Opportunity of Fortune?!’
‘Has it got to do with the West Ruler Matriarch?’ Zhuo Donglai thought to himself.
Yu Zhi merely commented that she was fine, but when she spoke to Chu Kuangren, she had a joyful smile on her face that he had never seen before.
The smile disgusted Zhuo Donglai.
At that moment, he became silent. He thought of the matter that the Soul Vanquisher mentioned and made a decision in his heart.
Following that, Chu Kuangren and others found a weak spatial point in the realm within a realm and returned to the Kunlun Secret Realm.
Chu Kuangren and others had explored almost all of Kunlun Secret Realm and obtained all possible Opportunities of Fortune.
“Next, it’s time to look for a place to refine these Opportunities of Fortune,” mumbled Chu Kuangren.
The Kunlun Secret Realm was rich in spiritual qi and Immortal qi, which was a suitable place for closed-door meditation.
Therefore, Chu Kuangren decided to find a secret place to refine the Opportunities of Fortune he had obtained during the period.
Once he found a suitable mountain range, he set up some restrictions before releasing Lan Yu, Cao Yun, and others out from the Enchanted Sleeve.
Having recovered from the illusions created by the scent in the Jade Pool, they all looked around in confusion.
Chu Kuangren briefly told them the incidents that happened. Then, he took out the gains he obtained and began distributing them.
Everyone had gotten huge gains during the trip to the Kunlun Secret Realm.
With countless Immortal Herb and Immortal Weapons, everyone was satisfied with what they got after the distribution.
All of them highly admired Chu Kuangren.
They knew that without Chu Kuangren, it would be impossible to obtain such gains by relying on themselves.
They might not even obtain one-tenth of what they had gotten.
After distributing various resources, Chu Kuangren gave Chu Hong, Lan Yu, and Lil Fox a set of armors he obtained from the Jade Pool.
Each set of the armors was of an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon level. There were a total of five sets, in which one was given to Yu Zhi, and the rest of the four were given to Lan Yu and others.
After all, they were his closest subordinates, so he needed to take extra care of them.
“Refine the armors, and they can be your life-saving trump cards,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“Alright, Master.”
Lan Yu nodded solemnly.
She, of course, knew how precious the Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon was. Even those great sects’ successors might not have one.
Soon after, Chu Kuangren began his closed-door meditation to refine all kinds of Opportunities of Fortune he got.
In a cave somewhere, he took out all kinds of rare treasures. Either of those treasures could easily make Heavenly Immortals fight until they bled.
Yet now, they were stacked in front of Chu Kuangren.
“Heh.”
Chu Kuangren randomly took an Immortal Herb plant and consumed it.
It did not take long before the Immortal Herb turned into surging medicinal energy that filled his entire body.
Time flew, and half of a year had passed.
Within half of the year, Cao Yun, Lan Yu, and others left the closed-door meditation accordingly. They had made significant progress and entered the Middle Third-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Lan Yu, especially, had broken through to a Sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal in one fell swoop! She was only one step away from reaching the Higher Third-grade Immortal Realm. With her Radiant War Immortal Physique, she would not need to be afraid even in the face of a top-notched Heavenly Immortal.
At that moment, a sharp screech sounded.
A firelight had soared into the sky.
It was the Phoenix’s Flame.
Chu Hong flew out of the sky, and a powerful aura fluctuation spread everywhere. Her aura was no different than Lan Yu’s.
“The Fifth-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm!” Lan Yu exclaimed
Just then, a domineering aura emanated from the mountain range.
Bursts of battle roars sounded in the void, and a domineering figure rose in the sky as if a despot was alive!
It was Wang Chentian.
He had also broken through to the Fourth-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm.
The rest of the Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champions also left their closed-door meditation and broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. They all had tremendous gains.
“Is the Chief out from the closed-door meditation?” asked Wang Chentian.
Cao Yun shook his head.
“Not yet.”
“Ha! If we can all make such progress, I wonder which realm the Chief will reach, and I’m looking forward to it.”
Wang Chentian laughed.
The rest of the Heavenly Champions also looked forward to Chu Kuangren’s achievement.
A few days later, Hua Yun came to Wang Chentian and others with a grim expression.
“What’s going on?” Cao Yun asked upon noticing Hua Yun’s expression.
“When I was out collecting Immortal Herbs just now, I heard that someone was hunting Zhao Fangfei!”
“What?!”
The expressions of all the Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champions turned gloomy at once.
Zhao Fangfei was also Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champion.
“Cao Yun, what should we do?” Wang Chentian asked with a frown.
As Chu Kuangren was in closed-door meditation, and Cao Yun was the most powerful among them, it was up to him to make a decision.
“What will the Chief do if he’s here?” Cao Yun asked after taking a deep breath.
The crowd smiled upon hearing his words.
“Of course, the Chief will f*cking kill the person!” Wang Chentian laughed and said.
“No one can bully our academy.”
“Hmph. It so happens that I’ve just broken through and want to test my techniques on someone.”
“Let’s show the world that besides the Chief, the Hundred Academy also has us. Let’s go and find out who has the audacity to provoke the academy!”
