Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1158
Chapter 1158: Master Daoist Qing Ling, Daoist Sect’s Strongest Heavenly Champion, Ye Zhu
Chu Kuangren looked at Bei Ming in surprise.
The reason he got the nerve to challenge the Three Clarity Daoist Sect was that, other than being a Heavenly Champion and was extra blessed, he had the three Celestial Demon qi he got from Bei Ming. The latter was somehow far more assuring than the former.
However, the Celestial Demon qi’s power was a lot stronger than he expected.
A single palm was all it took to kill a Gilded Immortal.
On top of that, it was just one of three strands of Celestial Demon qi from Bei Ming.
Bei Ming’s real self was in some hidden corner of the universe.
Swoosh!
A figure arrived above Chu Kuangren and Bei Ming. It was an elderly in black and white Daoist robes, and he had a horsetail whisk in his hands.
Powerful Immortal’s Core energy fluctuation emanated from him, with Daoist patterns intertwining and mystical lights flowing around his body.
The man was the current Three Clarity Daoist Sect Leader, Master Daoist Qing Ling.
…
Master Daoist Qing Ling had never looked as serious as he was looking at Bei Ming now. On the other hand, Bei Ming looked frivolous and casual as if he was not worried about the situation at all.
Master Daoist Qing Ling knew Bei Ming was strong enough to act frivolously before him.
Although the Bei Ming in front of him was a manifestation of a strand of Celestial Demon qi that he could destroy, so what? The real Bei Ming would not be dead.
With that in mind, his chest felt heavy.
Then, he looked at Chu Kuangren. “I didn’t expect that other than possessing the Heavenly Samsara Physique, you would also be related to the Celestial Demon Tribe.”
Chu Kuangren smiled in silence.
Bei Ming, however, was a little surprised. “Oh? You have the Heavenly Samsara Physique as well?”
His curiosity about Chu Kuangren grew. Having both the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique and the Heavenly Samsara Physique probably made him the rarest person in the universe.
“I just got lucky with an Opportunity of Fortune,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“I see.” Bei Ming nodded and looked at Master Daoist Qing Ling, not lingering on the question.
Then, he said to Chu Kuangren behind him, “Kid, you’ve really offended the Three Clarity Tribe. My Celestial Demon qi is not strong enough to hold off everyone. Why don’t I bring you away first, and when my true self arrives, we’ll eliminate them all. How does that sound?”
Upon hearing that, Master Daoist Qing Ling’s heart skipped a beat, and so did the others. They all looked at Chu Kuangren nervously, afraid that he would nod.
Although the Three Clarity Daoist Sect had massive resources and connections, it was not enough for them to go up against one of the strongest Arch Gilded Immortals or the entire Celestial Demon Tribe. After all, the Bei Ming was a cultivator from the oldest tribe in the universe.
“Hah! We don’t have to take it that far,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.
He was unsure how powerful Bei Ming’s true self was and what would cost him if he really asked the man to deal with the entire Three Clarity Daoist Sect and eventually win.
Besides, he did not summon Bei Ming to eliminate the entire sect.
If he really wanted the sect gone, he would do it himself.
Phew… Master Daoist Qing Ling sighed a breath of relief.
If he had an option, he would gladly choose to avoid direct conflict with the Celestial Demon Tribe.
Then, he looked at Chu Kuangren and said, “Brother Chu, regarding Shang Honghua, I will investigate it and give you a satisfying explanation.”
“That would be great.”
The other elders and Heavenly Champions responded with a bitter look on their faces.
Chu Kuangren had just killed a Heavenly Champion and an elder, yet the Three Clarity Daoist Sect had to give him an explanation. Even though they understood that going to war with the Celestial Demon Tribe would do them no good, it was still hard to swallow.
Boon!
It was then that a powerful qi burst from a certain mountain peak. A white pillar of light shot up into the sky like a sword piercing the heavens, and a sharp Sword Dao aura spread across the mountains.
Everyone could sense the aura.
“That direction… It’s Senior Brother Ye Zhu!”
“Senior Brother Ye Zhu is finally out from his closed-door meditation!”
All of the sect’s disciples were delighted.
As the white light faded, an emerald-clothed figure dashed across the sky.
The person’s eyes were shut, and he had a bamboo walking staff in his hand. He looked rather handsome and had a warm demeanor, but there was a certain sternness hiding within.
He was like a sheathed sword, and once he unsheathed himself, the glare and sharpness would surely shake the heavens.
“Oh, interesting.”
Chu Kuangren was intrigued at the man’s arrival.
He could clearly sense that the person was powerful, but only to him. To Bei Ming or Master Daoist Qing Ling, the person’s strength was insignificant.
However, the person was definitely one of the strongest among the younger generation.
At the very least, he was stronger than Lil Zhurong.
As far as Lil Zhurong was concerned, the Four Phenomena Immortal Destruction Formation that he had cast with other Heavenly Champions was no match for that person.
Although rare, Chu Kuangren showed interest in fighting the person with his full strength.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
“Senior Brother Ye Zhu, you’re back!”
The other Heavenly Champions looked at Ye Zhu with admiration and respect.
Being able to gain admiration from fellow Heavenly Champions proved how capable Ye Zhu was. His status in the sect was like Chu Kuangren’s status in Hundred Academy.
Ye Zhu smiled and greeted his fellow Heavenly Champions before he went up to Master Daoist Qing Ling and the others with a fist salute.
“Greetings, Sect Leader and elders.”
“Ye Zhu, you’ve broken through to become a Heavenly Immortal.” Master Daoist Qing Ling’s eyes shone when he looked at Ye Zhu.
“Yes, I have,” Ye Zhu said with a nod.
“Haha! This is great.” Master Daoist Qing Ling could not hold himself back from laughing out loud.
The elders were also delighted, and the dispirited atmosphere that Chu Kuangren created faded.
The strength difference between an Earthen Immortal and a Heavenly Immortal was huge.
Ye Zhu was already the strongest disciple of Three Clarity Daoist Sect, so now that he had broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his combat strength was even more unfathomable.
That gave the sect a little more confidence in winning the Battle of Heavenly Champions.
“I heard the Hundred Academy’s Chief has come to challenge us, and as the senior disciple of the sect, I should answer the challenge. I wonder if the Chief will accept my request?”
Ye Zhu faced Chu Kuangren with his eyes closed, but his intentions to battle were apparent in his tone, and it lifted the crowd’s morale.
“Haha! Senior Brother Ye has accepted the challenge!”
“This is great!”
“Senior Brother Ye is the sect’s strongest Heavenly Champion. Now that he is at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he can certainly defeat the challenger.”
The Heavenly Champions and disciples were excitedly waiting for Ye Zhu to make them proud.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren’s lips into a grin. “If you’re seeking defeat, I have no reason not to grant it to you.”
Compared to Ye Zhu’s battle intent, Chu Kuangren was a lot calmer. He stood with his hands behind his back and stared at his opponent casually.
“In that case, you can spar with the Chief, Ye Zhu. However, keep in mind that you’re now a Heavenly Immortal, so hold back whenever necessary,” Master Daoist Qing Ling said.
Chu Kuangren had embarrassed the Three Clarity Daoist Sect by killing a Heavenly Champion and an elder of theirs. However, due to the restrictions of the Battle of Heavenly Champions, the Hundred Academy, and the Celestial Demon Tribe, the higher-ups of the sect were in no position to hold Chu Kuangren responsible.
Ye Zhu was the perfect candidate to act on their behalf.
Master Daoist Qing Ling believed that with Ye Zhu’s Heavenly Immortal Realm, the latter could defeat Chu Kuangren and make the sect proud.
“I understand.” Ye Zhu nodded.
With that, he turned to Chu Kuangren. “Chief, after you.”
“Hoho, kid. This guy is no joke, and his cultivation level is higher than yours. Be careful,” Bei Ming said with a smile.
“Have I not killed others whose cultivation level was higher than mine?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He was not afraid at all. His figure flashed and appeared above the word he carved on the mountain earlier. His sword remained sheathed, but mighty power had swept across a thousand kilometers.
