Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: Astonishing Sea Of Clouds Formation, The Underworld Palace’s Movement, Attacking The Winged Human Tribe
“Congratulations Host! You’ve won a Legendary-tier formation — the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation!”
On this day, Chu Kuangren took his turn at the Fantasy Roulette as usual and obtained a legendary-tier formation.
It was a pleasant surprise for Chu Kuangren.
“Looks like my luck’s been quite good in the past few days. First a God-tier physique, now a Legendary-tier formation. Does the School of White Lotus have some luck-enhancing trait?” Chu Kuangren contemplated while stroking his chin.
Before he had his Lucky Halo, Chu Kuangren had won the Legendary-tier trait, Meditational Clarity in the School of White Lotus as well. Now that he had the Lucky Halo, he even went on to win a God-tier physique and now a legendary-tier formation…
Could it be that the School of White Lotus was his lucky spot?!
“Looks like I need to visit here more often.”
Chu Kuangren smiled brightly.
Reading the description of the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation, Chu Kuangren was shocked. This formation was considered a mega formation!
The formation’s area of effect could encompass a radius of several thousand kilometers!
“Holy sh*t! This is the perfect defensive formation that I needed to protect the Black Heaven Sect!” Chu Kuangren said in shock.
Despite being in the same tier as the Four Seasons Sword Formation, the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation was far more valuable.
“Although the Black Heaven Sect already has a defensive formation to protect it, this will bring it to another level. As the unknown lands begin to emerge, even sage orthodoxies have to be cautious. There couldn’t be better timing for this mega formation to show up!” Chu Kuangren was elated.
After reading the formation’s description in detail, Chu Kuangren realized that he needed a few more resources to activate this mega formation.
No matter, it was just a matter of arrangement.
“I should head back to the Black Heaven Sect first to get this mega formation going.”
Chu Kuangren smiled as he muttered.
As such, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu both bid Immemorial Sage farewell in the morning.
On their way home, Chu Kuangren received a message from Elder Ruyan.
“Sect Leader, there are some movements in the Underworld Palace.”
“Oh, what about it?”
Chu Kuangren said with mild excitement.
Having just killed King Yanluo of the Underworld Palace yesterday, Chu Kuangren did not expect the Underworld Palace to move on so quickly.
Could it be the doings of Yuan Wudao?
It seemed like the Underworld Palace was colluding with him.
“Zhao Tianlong had received an instruction from the Underworld Palace to poison the people of Black Heaven Sect and create chaos,” replied Elder Ruyan.
Zhao Tianlong was a spy who was planted by the Underworld Palace in the Black Heaven Sect.
He was now controlled by Chu Kuangren.
“What? Poison? What a cheap method. Besides, do they not know that I’m the Alchemy Grandmaster? Hold on…”
“The Underworld Palace is well aware that I’m an Alchemy Grandmaster, so why do they still want to do this? Are they betting that I can’t come up with the antidote? If creating chaos was their goal, how much poison do they need?”
To create a poison that could not be cured even by an Alchemy Grandmaster would take up massive amounts of valuable resources. However, if their intention was solely to create chaos, then perhaps it would not be so costly.
It was unlikely for the Underworld Palace to invent such a poison.
If that was the case, coming up with the antidote was not the issue.
They knew clearly that Chu Kuangren could produce the antidote.
Then, there was only one explanation…
‘They’re using the poison to create chaos so that I’ll return to the Black Heaven Sect.’
‘If so, why are they baiting me back to Black Heaven Sect? Are they afraid I’ll hinder one of their plans somewhere in the world?’
Chu Kuangren contemplated.
“By the way, Zhao Tianlong also reported that the Underworld Palace is planning an attack on the Winged Human Tribe,” said Elder Ruyan.
“The Winged Human Tribe?”
What did this have to do with the Winged Human Tribe?
Chu Kuangren pondered for a bit before something clicked within him.
Yuan Wudao, the Underworld Palace, the three-headed hound, poison, luring him away, the Demonic Well of the Winged Human Tribe…
The clues began to connect.
“I understand now!”
On the other side of the communication compass, Elder Ruyan was still clueless.
What did the Sect Leader understand?
Why was she still clueless?
“Elder Ruyan, find someone to test on the poison. If it’s not lethal, we’ll play along with the Underworld Palace’s plan. I’ve left some poison resistance pills that could cure various forms of poisons with Fairfrost Sage. You can use it in case of an emergency. Also, have Zhao Tianlong inform the Underworld Palace that I’ve returned to the Black Heaven Sect,” instructed Chu Kuangren.
“Alright,” Elder Ruyan said and then proceeded to put their plans into motion.
Not long after.
Word that many disciples in the Black Heaven Sect were poisoned and Chu Kuangren was forced to return and attend to the matter soon spread to the upper echelons of the Underworld Palace.
In the Underworld Palace.
The remaining nine Temple Hellion Kings of the Underworld Palace congregated for a discussion. They were also joined by King Wuguan and the Chakra King, who had just ascended to their thrones not too long ago.
“Chu Kuangren is back in the Black Heaven Sect,” said King Qin’guang, the highest seated king of the Ten Temple Hellion Kings.
“Are you sure it’s Chu Kuangren?”
“Our scout has reported that pill clouds were filling the entire alchemy room. Aside from the Alchemy Grandmaster, very few can achieve such a level of alchemy. I’m confident that it’s Chu Kuangren.”
“Hmm, very well, then let’s follow through with our original plans. King Wuguan, Chakra King, and King Chujiang shall assist the manor’s Young Master.”
“Alright.”
The newly throned Chakra King and King Wuguan were beaming with excitement.
If this mission was a success, they would earn the trust of the Acheron Manor’s Young Master. By then, it would be easy for them to form ties with the Acheron Manor, and perhaps join their orthodoxy as well!
…
It was a chaotic day in the Winged Human Tribe.
As the three Hellion Temple Kings of the Underworld Palace lead an army of demonic cultivators to invade the Winged Human Tribe’s territory, no one could stop their marches.
The Winged Human Tribe was merely an honorable orthodoxy and the strongest of its members was merely a Supreme Honorable. How could they possibly stop them?
Soon, the Underworld Palace members were at the sealed Demonic Well. When they arrived before the altar, King Chujiang could not help but frown. “Something’s not right. This is going too well for us.”
The Chakra King said calmly, “It’s nothing. The Winged Human Tribe Leader has been visiting an old friend since yesterday. Without a Supreme Honorable defending this place, the remaining Winged Human Tribe is no match for all of us.”
In terms of skills, there was a significant gap between the Underworld Palace and the Winged Human Tribe.
“This is such a coincidence. As the only Supreme Honorable of the tribe, shouldn’t he always keep a watch over his tribe?”
“What’s there to watch over? Considering that the lady who always accompanies Chu Kuangren is also a Winged Human Tribe member, very few would dare mess with this place.” King Wuguan refuted.
Although demonic cultivators had always harbored much resentment against Chu Kuangren, King Wuguan was envious. “How powerful. The mere mention of Chu Kuangren’s name is enough to strike fear in most people.”
“Alright, let’s not get too emotional now. We’ve got a matter to attend to. If Chu Kuangren comes here when realizes what’s going on, no one could save us.”
Refusing to hesitate any further, King Chujiang struck a punch on the altar.
The moment his fist qi landed on the altar, the lines of runic symbols that surrounded the altar easily repelled King Chujiang’s attack.
“Is this the spell that sealed the Demonic Well?”
“Keep attacking, don’t stop!”
The Chakra King, King Chujiang, and King Wuguan unleashed an incessant fury of attacks on the altar, yet to no avail.
After all, this was a spell laid by the Sage Ruler Holy King. The power of a few Supreme Honorable was not nearly enough to break it apart.
