1699 Something Insignificant, I Don’t Remember Doing Something Like That
“Haha, well done. I can’t believe that I, the powerful Galaxy God King of the Central Heaven Universe, have lost to a young little cultivator.
“There are talented individuals in every generation, with each generation surpassing the old!”
The Galaxy God King looked at Chu Kuangren impressively and laughed.
He also did not question where the space-time energy came from, but he had lost, so it did not matter anyway. The Galaxy God King gladly accepted his defeat.
Following that, the Galaxy God King took out a jade scroll and handed it to Chu Kuangren. “I once said that anyone who manages to clear all the challenges will receive my cultivation techniques as a reward. This jade scroll here contains every single cultivation technique that I, the Galaxy God King, have obtained throughout the years of my travels in the Central Heaven Universe. Now, they belong to you.”
He then unleashed a palm attack into the skies.
The starry sky erupted with a boom, revealing a grand palace within it.
The palace was gilded with wonderful jewels and ornaments that radiated brilliantly and surrounded by countless mysterious runes. It was an amazing sight.
“Besides my cultivation techniques, you can also choose three items from my treasury over there,” said the Galaxy God King as he pointed at the Galactical Treasury.
Meanwhile, countless sky-prides and Prodigies in the Galaxy Ancient Path were shocked by the Galactical Treasury’s appearance. Everyone quickly looked into the sky with excitement.
“It’s the Galaxy God King’s treasury!”
“That’s right. It was said that the treasury contained mountains of treasures inside. Any one of them is enough to make one retire for life.”
“Quick, let’s check it out.”
Many cultivators disappeared in a flash as they dashed to the treasury. However, they were all held back by an invisible barrier and could not get in.
That was a God King’s enchanted barrier!
Those who did not have his permission could never enter.
“Damn it. Only the cultivators who get through the final nine challenges can enter to pick one item.”
“That’s right. We’re not qualified at all.”
Some sky-prides shook their heads sadly.
Whoosh!
Several rays of light dashed into the treasury.
They were Mo Wuji, Luo Xue, Leng Wufeng, and Chi Longying respectively.
Besides Chu Kuangren, they were the only ones who managed to get through the final nine challenges since the Ancient Path opened.
The God King’s barrier did not stop them and allowed them to enter.
Chu Kuangren glanced at it but did not go there right away. Instead, he looked at the Galaxy God King and asked. “What about your promise?”
“Don’t worry. I’m not someone who goes against his word. Since you have cleared all of the challenges here, I, the Galaxy God King, shall join the Spiritual Sword Tribe from today onward and be one of your allies,” the Galaxy God King answered with a bitter smile.
Although he still wished to continue traveling the universe, he had to respect the terms of the bet he made with the other great ones back then. If he were to break his promise, things would surely not end well for him.
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren nodded gently.
Frankly speaking, he did not care whether the Galaxy God King would join the Spiritual Sword Tribe or not. After all, he was never a member of the Spiritual Sword Tribe, to begin with.
He then disappeared in flash and headed towards the God King’s treasury.
It did not take long before he reached the entrance of the treasury. At that time, Mo Wuji, Leng Wufeng, and the others just so happened to be coming out. Each of them had a satisfied smile on their face. It was obvious that they had obtained something valuable inside.
When they saw Chu Kuangren, their expressions immediately turned very grim.
It was especially true for Leng Wufeng, whose gaze was ice-cold. A surge of killing intent burst out from him. “Heavenly Sword!”
“Oh, it looks like you bear some hostility towards me.”
“Obviously. You better not forget what you did!” Leng Wufeng said sternly.
“I’ve done so many things, so I see no need to remember everything in great detail. After all, the Heavens would never bother with insignificant matters.”
“You killed my younger brother, Leng Jiufeng! How dare you imply it’s insignificant!”
Leng Wufeng was fuming with rage as he stared daggers at Chu Kuangren. His gaze was so intense that it was as if he was about to skin Chu Kuangren alive.
“Your younger brother…”
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before replying in a serious tone, “Sorry, I don’t really remember doing something like that. Maybe it’s truly an insignificant matter.”
“You b*stard!”
A terrifying and chilling killing intent swept everywhere.
The surroundings were instantly frozen. Just when Leng Wufeng was about to attack, Mo Wuji reached out and stopped him. He said, “Let him enter the treasury first.”
Leng Wufeng’s gaze flickered a little, and then he nodded.
“Oh, it looks like you’ll live for the time being.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he slowly walked into the treasury.
“Mo Wuji, do you want to kill the Heavenly Sword too?”
“That’s right.”
“You stopped me just now because you want him to enter the treasury, right? Once he chooses his treasure and comes out, we can then kill him and take whatever item he brought out. That’s like killing two birds with a stone.”
“Correct.” Mo Wuji chuckled.
After that, his gaze narrowed. “However, the Heavenly Sword’s strength is not to be underestimated. I’m afraid he’s on par or, if not, more powerful than me. We must not be hasty when dealing with someone like him.”
“Don’t worry. I just happened to obtain something unexpected inside the treasury. ”
Leng Wufeng took out a prismatic crystal shard containing an endless blizzard. It was as if a winter world was trapped within it.
“This is the Skysnow Shard, a priceless treasure that once belonged to the Skysnow Tribe. I thought it was forever lost from the tribe and did not expect to find it inside the treasury. With this item, even the mighty Heavenly Sword will have no choice but to surrender!” Leng Wufeng said confidently.
“Interesting. I, too, am eager to find out whether the Heavenly Sword is truly as powerful as the rumors say!” Chi Longying chuckled.
The long crimson sword in his hand trembled as if it was excited to fight.
No sword cultivator in the world would be uninterested in the Heavenly Sword. The same thing could be said for Chi Longying. Although Sword Dao was not his main Dao, he was still considered a swordsman.
While the three of them were discussing how to fight the Heavenly Sword, inside the treasury, Chu Kuangren was stunned at the sight of the seemingly endless treasure scattered everywhere. “The Galaxy God King seemed to have collected many interesting items.”
He did not intend to take everything here.
After all, he could never hide what he did from the Galaxy God King. Besides, going back on his words and acting sneakily was not his style.
“Hey, you’re here as well, Heavenly Sword.”
At that time, he heard a voice that belonged to Luo Xue. She, too, was busy picking her item from this treasury.
Chu Kuangren walked toward her and realized she was having trouble choosing between two items. One of them was a sword, while the other was a broken bead. However, the broken bead was illuminating with faint Immortal Sparks and flickering runes. It seemed to contain some sort of mysterious and advanced cultivation technique inside.
“Heavenly Sword, which of these two do you think I should choose?” Luo Xue asked curiously.
Chu Kuangren did not expect her to ask him, but he replied. “You should be the one to decide. This is your own Opportunity of Fortune, after all. I don’t think I have the right to say anything about this.”
He was about to leave after saying that. However, after passing by the broken bead, he took a second look at it.
“An interesting item indeed. Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for me.”
With that, Chu Kuangren turned around and left.
Upon noticing that, Luo Xue immediately decided to choose that broken bead. After all, if the Heavenly Sword himself was interested in that item, surely it must be something good.
Furthermore, she also sensed something within the broken bead.
“Although the Heavenly Sword said he won’t help me, he still ended up giving me a hint.”
Luo Xue’s eyes flickered, and a strange feeling surged from within her ice-cold heart as she watched Chu Kuangren leave.
