Chapter 652: Returning to the Black Heaven Sect, True Lovers Were Together, The Homecoming

Inside Seven Emotions Sect.

Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, and the others waited for everyone to gather.

Chu Kuangren then entailed what happened to him inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin to everyone. However, he concealed certain parts of the information. All he told them was that he obtained an Opportunity of Fortune in there, absorbed the Chaotic qi, and affirmed his Dao and became an Emperor in the end.

“Affirming Dao inside the coffin. Brother Chu— no, I mean, Emperor Chu, you’ve been on quite a marvelous misadventure, haven’t you?” Lady Leng Yue could not help but remark.

At this point in time, Chu Kuangren had already become an Emperor.

Emperors were not to be questioned nor disrespected.

Although Chu Kuangren would not mind any of that, Lady Leng Yue felt that she should still be more courteous in her speeches.

“Quite so.”

Chu Kuangren returned her with a gentle smile. After that, he looked at Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, and a few others. He smiled and said to them, “It’s great to see you guys alive.”

“Haha, likewise.”

“Now that Lan Yu, Murong Xuan, and Sect Leader have become Emperors, I reckon we can command a rule over the entire Firmament Star once we return to the Black Heaven Sect.”

Nangong Huang laughed out loud.

Indeed.

It had been more than a hundred thousand years since Emperors emerged in Firmament Star. Now, three Emperors had suddenly emerged from the Black Heaven Sect alone, propelling them straight into an Emperor orthodoxy and leaving the other orthodoxies far behind them.

They could easily claim the ruling seat over the Firmament Star now.

“These things shall wait until we meet the rest of the Emperors.”

Chu Kuangren said.

He did not have a good feeling about this.

Those Emperors must be up to something.

“Master, when should we head back to the Black Heaven Sect?”

Lan Yu inquired.

Their main aim of entering Emperor Road was to ascend to the very top of Emperor Mountain and become Emperors. Now, this target has already been reached.

It was about time they returned to the Black Heaven Sect.

“We shall rest in Seven Emotions Sect for a day before heading back. Sister Leng Yue, I hope you don’t mind us staying here for the night.”

“I don’t see why not.”

Lady Leng Yue gave them a warm smile.

Those people were now Emperors. She would jump at any opportunity to make them feel at home.

That night.

Chu Kuangren sat on the ground cross-legged, absorbing heavenly and earthly spiritual qi and then refining them into Emperor qi. Moments after, he slowly opened his eyes.

“These heavenly and earthly spiritual qis are much stronger than before, and I sense that they’re still increasing in intensity. Has the Heavenly Dao become stronger?”

Chu Kuangren made a swiping gesture with his palm.

At the very heart of his palms, a layer of mysterious Dao patterns emerged.

Those were the Heavenly Punishment Dao patterns.

One could consider these the upgraded version of the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes.

This was something he mastered right after he became an Emperor. Through these Heavenly Punishment Dao patterns, he was now more receptive toward the changes happening in this realm.

Not only that, but with the strengthening of the Heavenly Dao, Chu Kuangren could feel his Heavenly Punishment Dao patterns increasing in power as well.

This meant that Chu Kuangren did not need to cultivate to elevate his own powers. Since the Heavenly Dao was strong, his powers would increase with it too.

This, for him, was unbelievable.

Never in history has anything like this happened before.

“I seem to have obtained a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s power after breaking free of the Heavenly Punishment Seal. I wonder if there’s a deeper meaning to this.”

“Besides, what is the meaning of the Heavenly Tormenter that the God of Light and the God of Darkness mentioned previously? Does it have any connection to Heavenly Punishment energy?”

Chu Kuangren shook his head.

The shame was that he forgot to ask Chaos Daoist Celestial about Heavenly Punishment while he was inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin. Otherwise, his companion might have had the answers he was looking for.

However, he stopped dwelling on it.

One day, he would eventually understand everything.

“I should prepare myself for the meeting with the Emperors at the Great Frost Dragon Mountain and then plan the things I should accomplish next,” Chu Kuangren muttered to himself.

…

The next day.

Chu Kuangren led Lan Yu and the rest of his group to bid farewell to Lady Leng Yue and her people. However, his team saw the addition of two other people.

These were Leng Ningyu and Chu Yue.

They were headed to the Firmament Star as well.

It was because the Great Frost Dragon Mountain that the Emperors mentioned was situated in Firmament Star. This place was quite well-known as it was one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas of the Firmament Star.

After knowing all these, Leng Ningyu decided to join Chu Kuangren and his crew, leaving her homeland behind. Meanwhile, Chi Yue tagged along for the thrill of it.

Aside from that, Murong Xuan also made a trip to Seven Chord City along the way to pick up Yang Xiyun.

Prior to this, Yang Xiyun’s sect, the Melodious Void Sect had banned their people from getting into a romantic relationship with anyone. Yet now, they no longer stopped it.

Since Murong Xuan had already become an Emperor, why would they stop them?!

When Murong Xuan came up to their door, Melodious Void Sect Leader was unbelievably polite and generous toward him. She even apologized to him straight in the face.

She blurted out a bunch of nonsensical gibberish that she would have never uttered before, such as ‘all hail the great Emperor. I have wronged you in the past for not recognizing your capabilities.’I hope you will disregard how we treated you’ and et cetera.

In the end, she respectfully brought Yang Xiyun out to reunite them both.

At last, the true lovers were together.

“Heh, these two lovebirds finally got what they wanted. They can finally spend quality time and live happily ever after now. I’m sure a lot of people will envy them.” Chu Kuangren stared at Murong Xuan and the rather sheepish Yang Xiyun and mocked them.

At the side, Nangong Huang and the others said their congratulations too.

“Sect Leader, I hope you will be our wedding witness when we return to Black Heaven Sect.” Murong Xuan said cordially as he looked at Chu Kuangren

Under normal circumstances, wedding witnesses were roles held by the bride and groom’s elder relatives.

However, to Murong Xuan, Chu Kuangren was not just a Sect Leader but a person whom he would forever look up to. Hence, he naturally qualified for this role.

“Of course.”

Chu Kuangren smiled in response.

“Alright, let’s hit the road.”

Leaving Emperor Road was no longer a difficult task to the newly-ascended Emperor, Chu Kuangren. All he had to do was activate the Spatial Conveyor Skill.

Firmament Star.

Ripples spread across the void.

Immediately following that were the appearance of a dozen or so figures.

When Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, Murong Xuan, and Leng Ningyu appeared in the Firmament Star, their strong Emperor’s Aura emanated and caused a tremor across Firmament Star’s fabrics of space.

However, everything returned to normal after a short while.

Firmament Star’s current state was sturdy enough to withstand the presence of beings in the Emperor Realm.

“Come, let’s go back to the Black Heaven Sect.”

Chu Kuangren led the pack and dashed in the Black Heaven Sect’s direction.

Throughout their journey, they did not bother covering up their auras. As such, their tremendous Emperor Might spread far and wide, reaching beyond the skies and seas, filling the realm with its stupendous force.

Wherever they passed, countless living beings would cower in fear.

This whole scene felt like a homecoming for the new Emperors.

They had spent so many years cultivating to achieve Emperorhood. How could you expect them to maintain a low profile after all that they had been through? They must announce their arrivals and gather everyone in the realm to congratulate them!

Various orthodoxies and Forbidden Areas on Firmament Star could sense the Emperor’s energy that came from Chu Kuangren and his group.

Suddenly, the whole Firmament Star shuddered in their presence.

“That… that’s an immense energy!”

“My gosh, what kind of being has arrived?!”

“Emperor’s Aura… A never-before-seen Emperor Aura. This must be the sign of an Emperor’s arrival. D*mn, I knew that something big had happened when I noticed the enormous changes to the realm earlier. It turns out that somebody has become an Emperor!”

“Who is that?!”

“It’s… Chu Kuangren!”

“D*mn it. It really is that d*mned guy!”

“Wait a minute. It’s not just Chu Kuangren… there’s Lan Yu and Murong Xuan too! These two had become Emperors as well?!”

Every cultivator on Firmament Star was stunned.

Chu Kuangren becoming an Emperor may have shocked them, but it did not catch them by surprise. After all, they could still vividly recall the remarkable feats that he had achieved throughout his time here.

However, how did Murong Xuan and Lan Yu become Emperors too?

This meant three Emperors had emerged from the Black Heaven Sect!!

What the hell was this?!

How were the other orthodoxies supposed to survive now?

In that case, they might as well surrender the whole Firmament Star to the Black Heaven Sect!
