Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 2234
2234 The Natives of the Nine Ways Spirit World, Scaring Leng Xiaotian Away
Dugu Bupo frowned at what Chu Kuangren said. “Although I’ve only been in the Great Hongmeng Universe for a short time, I’ve heard about you. They said you’re unruly, arrogant, and conceited. It seems like those rumors are true. ”
“I’m not arrogant if I have the strength to back it up,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
“Our battle has yet to conclude. I shall look forward to seeing you display your full strength the next time we fight.”
He did not exert his full strength in the battle and still had some trump cards up his sleeve.
However, he knew Chu Kuangren was the same too.
If they were to truly fight, it was still too soon to ascertain the outcome of the battle.
“Now, to enter the Nine Ways Spirit World.”
Dugu Bupo’s figure disappeared in a flash as he darted toward the spirit world.
Chu Kuangren looked up at the sky.
With a whoosh, Nuwa instantly appeared next to him.
“Let us enter too.”
“Alright.”
Nuwa nodded as she followed Chu Kuangren into the spirit world.
…
Inside Nine Ways Spirit World was a massive continent filled with dense spiritual qi.
Many beasts and Immortal Herbs could be seen growing in nature; picturesque landscapes and magnificent terrains were everywhere.
Many areas were also brimming with Immortal Sparks as rainbow clouds filled the sky.
It was obvious that many Opportunities of Fortunes and treasures were hidden within the terrains.
Some cultivators who entered the area immediately darted in all directions in search of treasures. However, since both Chu Kuangren and Nuwa were not in a hurry, they did not make a move immediately.
While both of them found a direction to travel in, Chu Kuangren asked Lil Ai about the Nine Ways Spirit World.
“The Nine Ways Spirit World is a naturally-formed spirit world. It was once a place where humans lived a long time ago, and many of the strongest humans of the Infiniverse were produced here. However, this spirit world was eventually closed, and it rarely opened in the previous Hongmeng Eras…
“There’s also something worth mentioning from the records in my archives. The Human Ancestor of the human race throughout the Infiniverse was a person once called… Jiufang Shi.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
Did that person have something to do with the Human Ancestor?
“Attack!”
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren heard the sound of battle coming from afar.
A cultivator was fighting against a group of people.
“This person looks familiar.”
Chu Kuangren looked at that cultivator and noticed that he had seen the cultivator before at Nine Ways Mountain. He believed that man must be one of the cultivators on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard.
“Master, the person’s name is Leng Xiaotian. He’s ranked ninth on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard,” Lil Ai said.
Although Chu Kuangren did not care about the other Divine Bachelors and Divine Maidens, Lil Ai, as his best personal assistant, would automatically gather information from his surroundings for him.
As long as Chu Kuangren had encountered that person before, even if he had forgotten who they were, she would have information saved in her records.
“They seem to be fighting over that Divine Herb,” Nuwa said.
They watched as Leng Xiaotian fought those people for that Divine Herb.
That Divine Herb looked like a ginseng root brimming with Immortal Sparks and filled with dense patterns on its surface. Anyone could tell at first sight that it was no ordinary item.
However, compared to the Divine Herb, Chu Kuangren was more interested in those cultivators.
“These people are dressed quite primitively. Their clothing consists of animal skins and natural materials… They don’t seem like people from the outside world. They seem more like… the natives of the Nine Ways Spirit World.” Chu Kuangren was pretty surprised.
By then, the battle was reaching its end.
Although those natives were powerful, they paled in comparison to an elite cultivator like Leng Xiaotian. It would not take long before they were all killed.
“Just die, you stubborn native fools!” Leng Xiaotian sneered.
He raised his hand, activating his Great Dao energy to unleash his ultimate technique.
Fighting him were a few natives who looked like they were in their teens. They were holding the Divine Herb with determination.
Even in the face of death, they refused to give up the Divine Herb.
It showed that the item was of great importance to them.
Chu Kuangren pondered. “These natives have been living in Nine Ways Spirit World for many years, so they must know many things about this place. Perhaps their knowledge might be of some use to us.”
His eyes lit up, and he arrived before Leng Xiaotian.
“Is that you, Chu Kuangren?”
Leng Xiaotian was shocked, and the ultimate technique he was charging up dispersed, causing him to be forced back hundreds of meters away. He immediately put up a look of caution.
“What are you trying to do, Chu Kuangren?”
“These kids are under my protection. You should leave now.”
“What a joke. You want to protect these natives? You must be after their Divine Herb as well, right? Why put up the act?”
“I don’t need to explain anything to you,” Chu Kuangren said.
He simply made a sword hand sign and channeled the sword qi at his fingertips. His attack was prepared to launch at any moment.
“Oh no!”
Leng Xiaotian’s expression changed, and a ray of blood-colored light immediately erupted from him.
He had activated an escaping technique that required him to pay a great price. In an instant, he turned into a blood-colored ray of light that shot thousands of kilometers away into the distance.
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a moment.
“I was just scaring him. Does he need to try so hard to escape?”
He shook his head. ‘These Divine Bachelors are just too cowardly.’
Truth be told, after his fight with Lu Wuheng, he was labeled a lawless and cruel person.
Leng Xiaotian was so afraid of him that he instantly activated the escape technique when Chu Kuangren was about to attack.
That escaping technique would require him to sacrifice a third of his remaining lifespan.
After scaring away Leng Xiaotian, Chu Kuangren turned around and looked at those teenagers. By then, Nuwa was already chatting with them, hoping to inquire about some information.
They did not seem hostile toward Nuwa.
However, those people immediately put up their guard when Chu Kuangren approached them.
“Am I that scary?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Little did he know that Leng Xiaotian had killed many of their comrades earlier.
Hence, he was like a devil to them.
If Chu Kuangren could appear and instantly scare off someone like that, would that not mean he was more terrifying than the devil?
“There’s no need to be afraid. This is my Sect Leader. He’s a good person.” Nuwa chuckled.
After hearing her explanation, the teenagers put down their guard.
“Nuwa, why are they treating you so differently than me?” Chu Kuangren was curious.
‘Can it be that these little rascals prefer talking to a pretty lady instead? Well, that’s understandable. After all, who doesn’t like a tall and pretty lady?’
“I’m not too sure either. However, they say I give them a warm and friendly feeling,” Nuwa said.
Chu Kuangren pondered upon hearing that.
“It must be because of your status as a Human Guardian.”
Back in the Pan Gu Universe, Nuwa was the mother of the human race, and in the Infiniverse, someone like her would be a Human Guardian. That was why the native humans felt a sense of closeness to her.
It made sense.
Through Nuwa’s conversation with them, Chu Kuangren learned that those young natives came from a tribe known as the Jiufang Tribe.
“Grandpa Tribe Leader is injured, so we have come here to collect some medicine for him. We didn’t expect to bump into an outsider too,” a youngster with thick eyebrows said.
“Oh, you guys know we’re outsiders?”
“Yes. Grandpa Tribe Leader said you people will appear recently and told us not to go out too often to avoid meeting people like you,” the thick-browed youngster replied.
“Can you bring us to your tribe?”
“No, Grandpa Tribe Leader says we’re not allowed to bring outsiders back to the tribe.”
“Am I not allowed as well?” Nuwa said.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren and Nuwa did not persist further and allowed them to return.
“Sect Leader, aren’t you going to check out their tribe?”
“Of course, I am. We’ve come this far. There’s no way we can return empty-handed, right?” Chu Kuangren asked.
He did not save them for nothing in return. Besides, he was very interested in that tribe.
