Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 273
Chapter 273: Breakfast, Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Fellow Daoists’ Improvement
On the second day.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu came to the valley once again.
Meanwhile, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others were still sound asleep on the ground.
“Still pretending, are we?”
Chu Kuangren grinned.
For someone as mighty as Chu Kuangren to walk over without concealing his aura, there was no way Nangong Huang and the others would not notice his presence.
If they truly did not sense his presence, that pathetic level of alertness would have killed the Daoists countless times in the past.
Hence, there could only be one explanation — everyone was pretending to be asleep, taking that opportunity to delay their training as long as they could.
Chu Kuangren looked at them with a hint of pleasure in his eyes. Then, a terrifying energy field was spread from him.
Battle Monarch Domain, activate!
The Daoists who were pretending to be asleep were all extremely shocked. They did not expect Chu Kuangren to start the day off with such a strong technique without waking them up first.
Under the power of the Battle Monarch Domain, everyone could no longer keep up the act. Although they had hurriedly channeled their spiritual power to resist the huge pressure that was coming from all directions, everyone still groaned in pain.
A while after, everyone was laid on the ground, panting breathlessly and their spiritual power. At this point, it was hard for them to even think.
“Still pretending?”
“It’s our fault, Sect Leader.”
Nangong Huang and the others apologized and admitted defeat.
Only then did everyone notice that behind Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu was carrying two wooden buckets that emitted alluring bursts of fragrance.
“What’s that?”
Nangong Huang asked in surprise.
The aroma from the wooden buckets seemed to have stirred up intense, uncontrollable pangs of hunger from his body, which was depleted of spiritual power.
As cultivators, they would rarely have such intense physical needs. It was like they were mortals who had been starved for a few days.
“It’s breakfast.”
Chu Kuangren replied.
Behind him, Lan Yu took off the lids from the wooden buckets and revealed the fragrant white rice to everyone. Its strong fragrance suddenly made Nangong Huang and the others forget their fatigue as they all hurried towards Lan Yu and surrounded her.
“D*mn, what a strong fragrance.”
“Are these spirit grains? But the spiritual qi within spirit grains is just so concentrated. It’s my first time seeing this kind of spirit grain.”
The Daoists huddled around the wooden buckets and gulped. They each picked up up a bowl from the side and quickly scooped a large portion of rice from the bucket before they gobbled it all up.
“Delicious, it’s truly delicious.”
“This is my first time eating such delicious white rice.”
“By the heavens, it’s just too good.”
“Hey, don’t take it all for yourself. You’ve eaten such a large bowl.”
“F*ck, how the hell are you guys eating so fast?”
Very quickly, the two buckets of rice were divided and eaten among the Daoists. Even female cultivators like Jun Yi and Shang Qingxue had stopped caring about their graceful image as they gobbled up the rice, for fear that others would have eaten them all if they were too slow.
After they were done eating, dense and overbearing surges of spiritual power once again emerged from their originally depleted spiritual mound. It instantly filled up each of their bodies.
“This spirit grain is truly extraordinary. How great would it be if we can eat this every day.” Zhuo Han lamented.
The others agreed as well.
“This spirit grain is grown by Black Heaven Sect, so it won’t be a big problem if you guys would like to eat it every day,” Chu Kuangren replied.
Everyone was very delighted upon hearing that. “Really?”
“Of course.”
Chu Kuangren nodded, and with a raise of his arm, he unleashed a surge of sword qi that formed into a clone. It stared emotionlessly at Nangong Huang and the others.
At the sight of the clone, everyone’s body trembled again.
‘F*ck, it’s here again!’
“Now that you’re full, it’s time to start training.”
Chu Kuangren said with a faint smile.
For Nangong Huang and the others, another round of torture was about to begin!
As time went by.
More than half a month had passed. Throughout that time, Nangong Huang and the others lived through days of suffering and pain.
Chu Kuangren continued to ‘torture’ them in various ways.
Besides using the Battle Monarch Domain and sword qi clones to train them, he would occasionally have them spar with each other and take them hiking as well.
However, the mountain they hiked was the Sword Mountain!
All the countless swords at Sword Mountain obeyed Chu Kuangren’s command without fail, releasing the sword intent to suppress the Daoists who suffered miserably.
Chu Kuangren also had them run around the whole mountain to capture a bird that was the shrunken form of the Godly Phoenix. That was a divine beast they were asked to capture!
They went after Lil Red around the whole mountain, often falling for its tricks. Sometimes, they were even burned mercilessly by the Phoenix’s Flames as well.
Most importantly, whenever any one of them was injured, Chu Kuangren would always use the Spring Breeze Healing Technique to restore them back to full health and continue to ‘torture’ them right after.
For twenty-four hours a day except for the six hours used for sleep and meals, the remaining time was spent on training instead.
However, despite Nangong Huang the others’ look of suffering, the Sages who were living in the depths of Black Heaven Sect felt that they were ignorant of the blessings they were in.
“These little rascals really do know how to enjoy life? They have spirit grains for food, the Marrow Cleansing Pool for their bath, and they have the little fella’s sword qi clone throwing techniques for them as well. These conditions for cultivation can’t get any better.”
“It’s not just the little fella, even the Godly Phoenix is helping them too. They’re screaming from the burn, but they don’t realize that the Phoenix’s Flame is the Essence of All Flames. To be able to train with the Essence of All Flames is a blessing too. After this, they would have built up a strong resistance to Fire-based Dao.”
“There’s the Sword Mountain’s sword intent as well. Withstanding the barrage of sword intent every day will undoubtedly increase their understanding in Sword Dao at a rapid rate.”
“How many people in this world are that blessed to have a cultivation experience like this? The little guy has truly given it his all in training all of them.”
“I agree, he’s also keeping a close look on them every day as well. I guess that he’s worried that if something bad happens to any of them, he will be the troubled one.”
Within the depths of the Black Heaven Sect, the few Sages conversed.
They had been keeping watch of everything that Chu Kuangren was doing. Besides that, they were also clear about Nangong Huang and the others’ progress too.
Apart from lamenting about not meeting a Sect Leader like Chu Kuangren during their younger years, the Sages were quite impressed and grateful towards him.
…
“Congratulations Host, you have received the Legendary Technique, Eight Celestial Demonic Chords!”
Legendary Technique?
It was another Legendary Technique again.
Chu Kuangren retrieved that technique, and in an instant, vast amounts of knowledge immediately rushed into his mind, That surge of understanding he gained was very overwhelming and was way greater compared to when he learned the Tathagata Rebirth Mantra.
The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords was the most remarkable Emperor Technique!
Not only was it more mysterious than the other Emperor Techniques he knew, but it could even approach the realm of the elusive or ethereal Immortal Techniques too.
“This Eight Celestial Demonic Chords is awesome!”
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes fiercely and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.
The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords was a type of music Daoist Technique. After Chu Kuangren retrieved the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, it immediately turned him from a tone-deaf person into a never-before-seen Musical Daoist Grandmaster.
However, that was not what he gained the most.
It was the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords instead.
The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords was divided into eight chapters. Each of them was extremely magnificent on its own.
“It seems like I’ll need to get myself a guqin soon.”
Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
Since that was a music Daoist Technique, it would naturally require music to be activated.
Boom!
A terrifying noise suddenly erupted.
It was Daoist Qin Wushuang who had been slammed onto the ground by the sword qi clone.
Like he had done multiple times, Chu Kuangren simply used the Spring Breeze Healing Technique on Qin Wushuang. Without saying another word, Qin Wushuang very familiarly got up, swiped away the dust from his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed to attack the sword qi clone again.
“It’s almost time,” Chu Kuangren mumbled as he looked at Nangong Huang and the others who were fighting the sword qi clone fiercely.
After almost a month of training, Nangong Huang and the others went from not being able to withstand any of the sword qi clone’s attacks, to now suppressing it with their joint effort. That was a huge improvement.
