Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

“Brother Chu, why are you here again?”

The person who came was indeed Chu Kuangren.

He saw the crowd around this stone tablet, so out of curiosity, he came as well. He had also seen the small letters on top of the stone tablet.

Based on his understanding of Dao techniques, he was able to tell the technique with one look. The technique recorded on the stone tablet was a mysterious Boundary-Emperor technique related to martial arts Dao.

He could not be bothered with a Boundary-Emperor technique.

After all, he already had several Emperor Techniques.

However, he was interested in the Opportunity of Fortune inside this tablet.

As such, he waded past the crowd and began to study it.

The crowd looked rather surprised when they saw him approaching. Nevertheless, they stopped caring about him after a while, as they had also begun to gain insight into the cultivation techniques in this tablet.

Pfft.

This Opportunity of Fortune tested a person’s ability to gain insight and not combat strength.

What was there to be afraid of?

They were all sky-prides, and they had a certain amount of confidence in their respective cognizance.

They refused to believe that Chu Kuangren would overpower them in cognizance as much as he did in combat strength.

Xiao Lintian, especially, believed so.

He stared at the cultivation technique on the tablet with an arrogant look in his eyes. “The Dao that I cultivate is martial arts Dao, and the technique recorded on the tablet is also a martial arts Dao. With my level of cognizance, I’ll surely gain insight from it in no time!”

“Chu Kuangren, I am not as strong as you when it comes to combat strength, but this Opportunity of Fortune is mine. I will gain insight on this the fastest!!”

Xiao Lintian could hardly resist a chuckle when he imagined Chu Kuangren’s humiliated look. He could not wait to complete gaining insight from that technique on the tablet.

Yes, it was indeed a Boundary-Emperor Technique.

Yet with his ability, he would surely obtain the results he wanted in three days!

Xiao Lintian smiled.

Even in this Era of Great Battles, where there were many sky-prides, comprehending a Boundary-Emperor Technique in the span of three days was still an astonishing feat.

“Oh, I see.”

When Xiao Lintian was just getting into comprehending the tablet, he suddenly overheard Chu Kuangren’s voice beside him. It was as if he had realized something.

After that, he saw Chu Kuangren raise his arm and form a fist. Incredibly powerful Daoist Rhyme instantly emanated, and it shocked everyone present.

It was not because of how powerful the Daoist Rhyme was but the familiarity between it and the one recorded on the stone tablet was… almost identical!!

Everyone at the scene gasped.

“Has he… completely apprehended it?!”

“Unbelievable!”

“What’s this?”

Everyone could not believe their eyes.

Chu Kuangren had only been there for a few moments. All he did was stand there and look at the stone tablet for a while, yet he had managed to apprehend this technique?!

Some of them had not even gone into comprehending it yet!

Outrageous!

This was simply outrageous!

Boom!

At that moment, Chu Kuangren threw out a punch.

The fist energy struck onto the stone tablet, which quivered abruptly. As a result, the picture and the Daoist Rhyme on it slowly disappeared.

Then, a red glint of light swooped past everyone.

It was a drop of red fluid. It looked like fresh blood, but there was an incredibly strong Emperor’s Aura contained within.

This was a drop of… Emperor’s blood!

All the cultivators stared at that Emperor’s blood with hunger-filled eyes.

Legend had it that even one drop of an Emperor’s blood could grant a person transcendent power. This drop of Emperor’s blood alone would be enough to alter a person’s natural endowment. It could even improve a Sage’s cultivation base by leaps and bounds…

Either one of its uses was extremely tempting.

“Emperor’s blood? Not bad I guess.”

Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, was not as crazed as the other people were.

The Emperor’s blood was indeed a very rare and precious treasure. However, for Chu Kuangren — a person who had seen way too many treasures — it only felt mediocre.

After all, he still had a female Emperor’s head inside his Yin and Yang Ring. Compared to a whole head, one drop of blood paled into insignificance.

Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren may have no way of refining that head, but he could with this Emperor’s blood. The energy would match that of the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s and the Serpent’s Sage Ruler bodies.

“He managed to gain insight from a Boundary-Emperor Technique in such a short time. How is that even possible?!”

Xiao Lintian looked at Chu Kuangren with a face full of shock.

He had not even started yet!

It was not just Xiao Lintian. The other empyrean walkers, too, looked like they had been dealt a massive blow. A feeling of dejection hit hard inside them.

He owned them in combat strength, and now, in cognizance as well!

There was nothing left for them to fight for!

Those sky-prides, who were not empyrean walkers, saw the looks of despair on Ling Xiao’s and the rest’s faces and felt sympathetic toward them too.

These empyrean walkers had yet properly introduced themselves to the world, and Chu Kuangren had already defeated them so badly.

“To compare cognizance with this guy? Quit joking. I heard that a few years back, he gained insight from eight thousand techniques in just half a day. Do you have any idea how terrifying that is?”

“After all these years, his cognizance has become even more appalling. Now, he can even apprehend this Boundary-Emperor Technique so quickly.”

“Is he still human?”

Several of the sky-prides started to discuss.

They had long abandoned their ambitions of competing with Chu Kuangren.

Such an act would only devastate them.

“Is this guy really a cultivator who’s from the same world as us? Could he be one of those immortals that have descended from the sky?!” Thousand Flower Valley’s empyrean walker, Feng Yaorao, exclaimed with admiration.

Upon hearing what she said, the other people began to ponder on this as well.

Chu Kuangren had an incredibly handsome look, and his demeanor was extraordinary. To say that he was an immortal was not that hard to accept… but it was!

Immortals were ethereal in existence, and nobody knew whether they existed or not.

Yet, Chu Kuangren had beat them in everything!

Buzz buzz…

Just then, a fluctuation appeared in the void.

The entire Imperial Palace subsequently began to shake.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

“That layer of forbidden seal, it’s about to vanish.”

At the center of the Imperial Palace, a surge of dazzling golden light suddenly burst out, and a dense Emperor’s Aura swept out across the place.

A golden palace appeared from nowhere!

Within an instant, incredibly strong spiritual qi gushed toward the direction of the palace. Bursts of auspicious light emerged, and golden lotuses started to circle around the horizon. Daoist Rhymes began to reverberate throughout the entire place…

Different kinds of strange Daoist Transformations symbolized the otherworldliness of this golden palace.

“What is this?”

“These transformations are so incredibly mystical. This must be the biggest Opportunity of Fortune inside this palace. Quick, let’s go have a look.”

One after another, the sky-prides all made a beeline towards the palace that was suspended in the air.

However, at this moment, all of them were pushed back by an invisible force, preventing them from stepping inside. This left them staring at the golden palace outside with desperation.

“Wait, why can’t we go in?”

“What’s going on?”

“Hey, look. There’s a plaque on top of this palace… I think it writes… Qian Imperial Palace!!”

“Huh, what does that mean? Could it be that the place we’re in right now is not actually the Qian Imperial Palace? That this palace right in front of us now is the real Qian Imperial Palace instead?!”

“Even a palace that isn’t the Qian Imperial Palace has so many Opportunities of Fortune. I can’t even begin to imagine how incredible the Opportunities of Fortune that lie inside this real palace!”

The crowd gulped as they stared at the real Qian Imperial Palace.

“This is the true Opportunity of Fortune right here!”

Just then, a spark of brilliance gleamed in Ling Xiao’s eyes. He took out a Jade Amulet, which was glowing with bright illumination. The light that shone was the same as the light from that Imperial Palace.

Another few empyrean walkers took out their respective Jade Amulets as well.

These included Xiao Lintian, Feng Yaorao, Xue Zheng, Gui Wuchou, Ye Xin, and Li Fuping. There were a total of seven of them, with seven pieces of Jade Amulets.

“The records in the ancient archives are true. Only those who hold the Jade Amulets can enter the Imperial Palace and obtain the true Opportunities of Fortune that were left behind by the Qian Emperor!!”

Xiao Lintian laughed out loud.

The rest of the sky-prides glanced at each other in confusion. They had no idea what he was talking about.

What records of the Qian Emperor?

Why had they never heard of such a thing, yet these empyrean walkers seemed to know it very well?
