Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 322
Chapter 322: Onwards To The Unnamed Island, Hold Up, There’s Still People Who Don’t Know About Me
“Now that the unnamed island has been sealed off by the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, anyone who’s not a Sage is not allowed to enter.”
“Both the Third and Second Forefather has set off to survey the area, but there’s been no news from them as of now…”
Elder Ruyan had briefly explained the details of the unnamed island, and when Chu Kuangren heard that, he could not help but feel a little curious.
“The unnamed island is suspected to be a place where an Emperor once lived, and there’s also the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, huh? Interesting, we should go and explore that island right now.”
“Since it’s been sealed off by the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, everyone should stay back in the sect for now. I’ll go take a look at the situation there first.”
Chu Kuangren had decided.
The Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands was a collective term for all the orthodoxies in the Outer Seas.
Among the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, a few of them were as strong as the sage orthodoxies in the Four Domains. Joined together, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Since the Outer Seas was the main territory of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, which were the ones who had sealed off the unnamed island, it was hard for the orthodoxies in the Four Domains to intervene.
The only way was to let the Sages of their respective orthodoxies explore it. No matter how arrogant the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands were, they could not stop all of the Sages outside the unnamed island.
That decision would be no different from declaring war on every sage orthodoxy in the Four Domains.
“Oh, by the way, Elder Ruyan, here’s some IOUs that I got. If the owner of these IOUs doesn’t provide us with the stated amount of soulstones within a month, send them a message to remind them. If they still don’t by then, we’ll discuss how to deal with them after I return.”
At the same time, Chu Kuangren took out a stack of IOUs and handed them over to Elder Ruyan.
Elder Ruyan looked at the pile of IOUs in her hand.
“IOUs? There are so many of them.” Upon seeing the amount stated on them, her eyes widened with shock.
“The Daoist School of Dedication owes us two hundred million top-tier soulstones, while the Eight Wind Palace needs to pay us fifty million top-tier soulstones, then there’s another four hundred and fifty million from the Thunder Falcon Tribe…”
“B-by the heavens!”
“Sect Leader, what have you done to get all of these IOUs?”
Elder Ruyan raised her head and looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief. The other elders around them were also stunned when they saw the IOUs as well.
“These are all bets that I’ve won. You can ask Nangong Huang and the others for details. Alright, I’ll be on my way now.”
With that, Chu Kuangren left the Black Heaven Sect. This time, he was going out on his own, not even the inseparable Lan Yu was going with him.
Since the situation at the unnamed island was uncertain and most of the people headed there were Sages, that matter was not something an ordinary cultivator could take part in.
If something were to happen to the people that he brought with him, Chu Kuangren was worried that he might not be able to look over everything at once.
Outer Seas, unnamed island.
Having been sealed off by the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, the area within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers that surrounded the unnamed island was full of Fairy Boats. They were all set up to form countless checkpoints.
Every cultivator who passed through that area would be stopped to have their identities verified.
As for the cultivators who intended to break in, they would be killed on sight by the merciless cultivators from the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands.
Chu Kuangren was not afraid of being discovered by the Outer Seas cultivators because of his cultivation level. He turned into a stream of light and darted towards the unnamed island.
His journey to the island was almost uninterrupted.
No one was able to catch up to him anyway.
The closer he got to the island, the more Chu Kuangren could sense a very dominating Daoist Rhyme. It was an extremely dense Emperor’s Aura!
Soon after.
A huge island appeared in his sights.
Although the island was covered by surrounding clouds and fog, he could vaguely make out from some of the scenery that it was like a fairy realm.
Besides that, the island was also the source of the Emperor Aura.
“So this is the unnamed island.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
However, just as he was about to approach, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path towards the island.
“An enchanted boundary?”
Amid Chu Kuangren’s surprise, numerous figures who possessed abnormal auras suddenly appeared before him.
Even the weakest among them was a True Honorable.
“This area is sealed off by our Thirty-Six Oceanic Alliance. Cultivators below the level of a Sage are forbidden to enter. Please leave now!” An elderly man who was their leader uttered.
He glanced at Chu Kuangren and frowned.
Although Chu Kuangren had quite an extraordinary appearance, he was just too young. Due to that, the elderly man suspected that he was not even an Honorable, let alone a Sage.
‘How did someone like him manage to get here?’
‘Are all the patrols outside blind?’
“Oh, the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands.”
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation as he swept his gaze across everyone.
“Liao Yun, Wind Spirit Island Chieftain, cultivation level, Honorable Supreme…”
“Chu Shan, Thousand Boulder Island cultivator, cultivation level, True Honorable…”
They were the higher-ups of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, and there was a Chieftain among them as well — a sign that this was a powerful group of people.
This was especially Liao Yun, the elderly man leading the group, who was the Wind Spirit Island Chieftain. His position was more or less equal to that of a Sect Leader in a sage orthodoxy.
“I’m Chu Kuangren, the Black Heaven Sect Leader. Please give way, everyone.”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Few of the people in that group looked at each other upon hearing his name. However, Liao Yun simply frowned as he said, “I don’t care who you are. If you’re not a Sage, leave here at once!”
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a while.
‘No way, there are still people who don’t know who I am?’
“Have you guys from the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands been living under a rock or something? How can you possibly not know my name?” Chu Kuangren asked in shock.
“Are you famous?”
One of the cultivators asked.
Chu Kuangren was speechless. He had heard that Outer Seas cultivators rarely communicate with the ones from the Four Domains. It took some of them more than ten years to receive news about the happenings on land.
He did not expect that to be true.
Since he had started to make a name for himself in the past few years, everyone in the Four Domains knew who he was. However, not many from the Outer Seas knew about him.
“Should I barge in head-on anyways?”
A chilling gaze lit up from Chu Kuangren’s eyes as his hand instinctively reached the pommel of his Descendant Self Sword.
In that instant, Liao Yun and the others suddenly felt their scalp going numb. A terrifying chill ran down their spine, seeping through their very bones.
A dangerous enemy!
Liao Yun’s and the others’ expressions turned incredibly stern. Just when Chu Kuangren was going to force his way in, a sudden stream of light approached from afar.
It was an elderly man in long purple robes who looked serious.
Upon seeing that person, Liao Yun’s and the others’ expressions shifted again.
“Greetings, Lifeblood Sage.”
Liao Yun and the others bowed before him.
Compared to Chu Kuangren, Lifeblood Sage had made a name for himself several thousands of years ago. His reputation was so great that everyone during that time knew who he was.
“Mhm.”
Lifeblood Sage nodded.
He then took a look at Chu Kuangren. When he had gotten a clearer look at the latter, his expression slightly changed and he went up to greet Chu Kuangren.
“Greetings, Brother Chu.”
“Greetings, you are…”
“I’m the Sage of the Zhiyang Valley, Lifeblood Sage.”
Lifeblood Sage smiled.
“Oh, a fellow Daoist Brother from the Zhiyang Valley. Greetings to you as well.”
“I didn’t expect Brother Chu to head out here to explore the unnamed island immediately after you returned from the First City. Why don’t we head in together?”
Lifeblood Sage replied.
He knew about Chu Kuangren’s shocking combat strength, so it would be greatly beneficial for him to explore the island together with Chu Kuangren.
One could say that he was riding on Chu Kuangren’s coattails.
“Oh, I really want to, but these Outer Seas cultivators told me that only a Sage can enter. They aren’t allowing me to go in.”
“What? How dare they do something like this!”
Lifeblood Sage’s expression turned slightly grim as he looked towards Liao Yun and the others. He told them, “Although Brother Chu’s cultivation is not on the level of a Sage, his combat strength has far exceeded one. He’s definitely strong enough to qualify! Now get out of his way!”
What were they thinking?
Did they not want their lives for daring to stop Chu Kuangren like that?
