Chapter 763: Gazing at the Immortal, I am Human King Cang

The gods had appeared.

Chu Kuangren ‘looked’ at the humans piling cattle and sheep in front of the statue of a god in the image, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Humans believed in gods and gained spiritual comfort from them. Meanwhile, the gods herded the humans, gaining the Power of Faith from them, and thus strengthening themselves.

Both sides depended on each other willingly. If the cultivators did not appear, this situation would probably continue forever.

However, the problem was that the gods thought they could control everything.

They underestimated the human race’s pursuit of free will.

Time passed.

Chu Kuangren saw the first human who was exposed to cultivation. After that, the number of cultivators slowly grew in the human race.

Long after that.

An Immortal in white clothes came to the Firmament.

He also came to the human race.

The Immortal did not alarm the gods as his energy seemed very weak like he had injured himself. As such, he recuperated in the human race’s territory for a period of time.

During this period of time, he began teaching humans cultivation. Just a few pointers and the humans made rapid progress.

Chu Kuangren stared at that Immortal.

It was a profound and inscrutable old man dressed in white. The old man seemed to have noticed Chu Kuangren too, as he raised his head and looked up to the sky, his gaze meeting with Chu Kuangren’s back in the river of time.

His gaze was deep, and he smiled.

He even bowed to Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren was stunned. “Can he notice me in the river of time? Hey, it looks like he really is an Immortal.”

He continued to observe.

The Immortal left after guiding the humans on Firmament Star for a period of time. Before leaving, he raised his hand and scratched a rock wall with his fingertips, leaving a deep fingermark.

While doing this, he glanced at Chu Kuangren in the river of time with a faint smile. Then, he left the Firmament Star.

After the Immortal left, his cultivation methods spread, and there were more and more human cultivators on Firmament Star.

Until very much later, the first Emperor in the human race emerged.

He affirmed his Dao on a mountain.

Since then, that mountain has been blessed by the Heavenly Dao, turning it into what is known as the Emperor Mountain today!

Later, more cultivators went up to Emperor Mountain to affirm their Daos.

As the human race grew, they drew the attention of the gods, who secretly began to suppress the cultivators’ power…

That was up until the Panhuman Revolt began.

In the river of time, Chu Kuangren witnessed the development and growth of the human race over the course of time. His heart could not help but well up with an inexplicable feeling.

Slowly, he entered a state of epiphany.

In the river of time.

Chu Kuangren sat cross-legged, with numerous Daoist patterns flowing around him.

His Dao was persistently getting stronger.

His Dao was Invincible Dao!

However, what did invincibility mean?

The fact that he could defeat others again and again?

No.

After witnessing the development and growth of the human race, Chu Kuangren gained a whole new insight. A truly invincible person did not necessarily need a lot of strength.

Instead, what mattered was that he could constantly surpass himself!

As the saying went, you are your worst enemy!

The true invincibility was self-improvement!

The human race was constantly striving for self-improvement, and this spirit had been passed on from generation to generation.

Self-improvement was the way to invincibility!

After realizing this, Chu Kuangren’s Dao consolidated and improved.

In the state of epiphany, his Dao reached the Prominent-grade. Since the beginning of time, only the Human King had ever mastered this Prominent-grade Dao.

While Chu Kuangren was gaining insight from the Invincible Dao, a wave suddenly hit from the front and engulfed him.

After getting struck by the waves, Chu Kuangren disappeared in the river of time.

…

Human Tribe, the Divine Mind Tribe.

On top of a stone bed.

A young teen with a pale face slowly opened his eyes.

The teen looked around in confusion. He felt his own body and could not help but frown slightly.

“What’s going on? Have I transmigrated again?”

The teen was Chu Kuangren.

To be precise, the soul was his, but the body was not.

“Lil Ai, explain this.”

“Master, you had an epiphany in the river of time, and then you were engulfed in a wave formed by a time node.”

“Which time point am I at now?”

“According to your classification of eras, it should be archaic ancient times.”

Chu Kuangren was stunned.

‘I’ve been thrown into the archaic ancient times?!’

“What’s up with this body?”

“Master, this body’s soul was in a broken state, but your soul just so happened to fall near it. And because this body is highly compatible with your soul, this body has thus automatically attached itself to your soul…”

After listening to Lil Ai’s explanation, Chu Kuangren felt a slight ache in his head.

He sighed.

Forget it. First things first, he had to figure out what was going on around him now.

With a flicker of his mind, he began to look inside his soul. From around his soul, he saw many floating light spots.

These light spots should be the original owner of this flesh body.

With that, he drew these light spots closer to him.

In an instant, huge amounts of information flooded his mind.

This young teen was named Cang.

He was the ex-Young Master of the Divine Mind Tribe, a large tribe well-known far and wide. Some of their own people were with extraordinary adeptness at manipulating the power of the mind.

Cang, on the other hand, possessed a one-of-a-kind talent in mind power. He had a very rapid mastery of thought techniques. However, because he had offended the Venerable God of Ice and Snow during his early years, he was cursed with the Frost Seal Mark. Year in year out, he was corroded by a cold that made his body extremely frail and weak.

Due to this, Cang was removed from the status of Young Master by the Divine Mind Tribe and demoted to an ordinary tribe member. Even the people in the Divine Mind Tribe would bully him from time to time to please the gods.

His soul was broken solely because of the doings of the people in his tribe.

“Cang…”

“My current identity is… Cang?”

Chu Kuangren’s expression looked a little weird.

If he remembered correctly, the name of the Human King was Cang.

In other words, he was now the Human King?!

“Well, I should confirm my own strength before anything else.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Now that he was in an unfamiliar environment, strength would be the most crucial element in guaranteeing his own safety.

Since he had a change of body, Chu Kuangren’s original cultivation base was no longer there. Nonetheless, his soul was still there, so his mind power could still be utilized.

In addition to his mind power, he gave the Dao Convergence State a try too. Apparently, this could be used, and he could still harness the Heavenly Dao energy.

Apart from that, the items that were kept in his soul, namely the Tome of Physiques, Timespace Treasure, the Omniscient Spirit, and even the Fantasy Roulette were all still there.

“Although my strength has been compromised, the strength of my soul remains as strong as it was. The mind power that I can summon is extremely powerful as well.”

“Besides, there are a lot of mind power techniques in Cang’s memory. So in terms of combat strength, I will still be capable of taking on Daoist Celestials.”

“On top of that…”

Chu Kuangren raised his hand, and a mysterious Daoist pattern appeared in his palm.

This was his Dao!

The Prominent-grade Dao that had gone through sublimation — the self-reliant Invincible Dao!

“Although there is no Emperor qi, and I can’t fully utilize this Prominent-grade Dao’s power, it is still good enough to scare people off with.”

Chu Kuangren mumbled to himself.

Then, he thought about the next appropriate actions he should take. He definitely could not stay here forever.

However, it was not easy to return to his time.

To do so, he would need to enter the river of time again.

“I was able to enter the river of time before mainly due to the Timespace Treasure. If I want to enter again, I’ll have to rely on this thing.”

He took out the Timespace Treasure with the intention of studying it further.

Yet, at this moment, his stomach growled.

“Ugh, I almost forgot. My current body is not as good as the one I used to have. I should find something to fill my tummy first.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and said.

As a matter of fact, he had not experienced the taste of hunger for a very long time, so this sudden feeling of hunger made him feel a little nostalgic.
