Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 996
Chapter 996 Onwards to Penglai Island, Could It Possibly Be Him? Immortal Dewdrop
“Lan Yu, get me a pail of water. Your Master is having a headache today…” Chu Kuangren called out again.
He was clearly having a severe hangover.
It seemed like the Godly Awakening Wine was too much for him to handle.
Although it allowed him to create many Immortal Techniques and gain lots of new knowledge, the jars of wine he drank were enough to knock even an Immortal out cold.
“Where is she…”
Chu Kuangren continued calling out but was still greeted with silence.
He was a little puzzled. After a while, he eventually recovered from his hangover and prepared a pail of water to wash his face. “Where is everyone?”
“They’re off to Penglai Island.”
Lil Ai’s voice appeared in his mind. “The what now?”
“Penglai Island, the rumored location of the Jie Sect, the Daoist grounds of the Heavenly Grandmaster?” Chu Kuangren was stunned.
“Yes.”
“So that island has finally appeared.”
He was a little surprised.
“Sheesh, so even Lil Fox has gone there too, huh? I can’t believe she left me back here all alone. How nice of her.” Chu Kuangren sighed.
‘Forget it. I’ll draw from the roulette to make myself feel better.’
‘I’ve been so drunk these few months that I haven’t drawn a single gacha. Let’s hope the luck I’ve accumulated for the past few months will bring me something good,’ Chu Kuangren thought as he opened and drew from the Fantasy Roulette.
“Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a God-tier Enlightenment Card.”
‘A God-tier Enlightenment Card?’
Despite having obtained a similar item before, this was his first time getting a God-tier Enlightenment Card. Based on the item’s description, the effect of this Enlightenment Card was ten times stronger than the Godly Awakening Wine. Furthermore, the effects of that item could last as long as three days.
“Three days long and ten times stronger than the Godly Awakening Wine?”
“Sounds awesome, but it’s not much of a surprise. Then again, it’s been quite some time since I’ve received a God-tier item, so I’ll gladly take this.”
Chu Kuangren pouted.
Although he was not impressed, he was not that disappointed either.
Then, he kept the Godly Awakening Wine away, planning to use it sometime in the future.
For all those years, this was only his fourth time receiving a God-tier item. The probability of obtaining such an item was so rare that even with the Lucky Halo, Chu Kuangren did not bear much hope of getting it.
“Instead of relying on the Fantasy Roulette, I might as well think about getting the Opportunities of Fortune by myself in the real world, like… Penglai Island, for instance.”
Chu Kuangren was very interested in what Penglai Island could offer.
It was an Immortal island rumored to be a place of pilgrimage for all Buddhas and a travel hub for all Immortals. Moreover, the Heavenly Grandmaster was one of the most powerful Immortals that could rival even the West Ruler Matriarch.
‘What secrets and treasures are inside his Daoist grounds, waiting to be found, I wonder?’
Chu Kuangren was looking forward to it.
Whoosh…
Chu Kuangren suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a few ripples in the void.
Meanwhile, several millions of kilometers away at Penglai Island, the immortal orthodoxies had put up a seal around the island, preventing other cultivators from entering. “How tyrannical of them! This is just too much.”
“These immortal orthodoxies are not letting us in at all. I can’t believe they have claimed Penglai Island for themselves. What despicable people.”
“These b*stards…”
The cultivators outside Penglai Island were enraged.
However, they could not do a single thing in the face of the cultivators from the immortal orthodoxies. The only thing they could do was complain.
It was then that a ray of light suddenly appeared outside Penglai Island.
After the light dispersed, a young man in white robes appeared before everyone.
That young man was extremely handsome and possessed an otherworldly demeanor. As he headed straight towards Penglai Island, he was quickly met with layers of seals and restrictions.
He frowned a little before unleashing a punch.
The void suddenly exploded. The layers upon layers of seals broke like mere twigs!
Upon noticing the commotion, the immortal orthodoxies’ cultivators quickly rushed over. All of them looked at Chu Kuangren with hostility.
“Who are you? How dare you break through the seals we’ve placed here?”. “Do you have a death wish?!” everyone uttered angrily.
However, Chu Kuangren replied to them calmly, “These seals and restrictions were in my way, so I destroyed them. Do you have a problem with that?”
“It looks like you’re itching for some trouble, young man!”
A fight was about to break out.
“Stop!”
At that moment, one of the cultivators stepped forward and yelled. He looked at Chu Kuangren with a serious expression and said, “Please go ahead, Brother Chu.”
Chu Kuangren glanced at him and disappeared in a flash.
After he left, the remaining cultivators quickly looked at each other. Most of them were still puzzled about what just happened. Soon, some of them figured out the situation, and a horrified look appeared on their faces.
“A young man whose first name is Chu… Could it be that person?”
“Which one?”
“You idiot! Among all the well-known people in this world with the surname Chu who is also a young Immortal Progeny, there can only be one person!”
“Gasps… The Heaven-Defying, Immortal-Slaying Chu Kuangren!”
“That’s right. That young man just now was the Heaven-Defying and Immortal-Slaying Thirteenth Master of the Hundred Academy. I’m glad we didn’t fight him.”
The cultivator who threatened Chu Kuangren earlier had turned pale with fear by now. He was just one step away from entering the afterlife.
“Phew… Luckily I arrived here in time. Otherwise, he would’ve wiped out all of you in one move,” said the cultivator who rushed here.
“Isn’t Chu Kuangren now in closed-door meditation, so he can’t come?”
“Beats me. But since he’s here, it looks like something unexpected will surely happen during the expedition to Penglai Island.”
On Penglai Island, there were many seals and restrictions. Although most of their strength had deteriorated, most of the ordinary cultivators could not handle them. Hence, the exploring cultivators were all traversing the area with caution, fearing that they would accidentally trigger any seals.
It was a high-risk but high-reward situation, after all.
The Opportunities of Fortune hidden in Penglai Island were more than one could count.
From supreme elixirs to special items to inheritances of Immortal Techniques, the treasures were countless.
“This is awesome, and it is only a fragment of Penglai Island too. If the complete island were to emerge, imagine the Opportunities of Fortune we could find! Also, how powerful the Jie Sect was in their golden days?!”
“A place of worship for all Buddhas and a hub of travel for all Immortals…”
“Sure enough, this place is loaded with Opportunities of Fortune,” one of the exploring cultivators uttered.
The others with him were very shocked too.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting at the front soon reached them. Everyone quickly rushed toward it, only to find a group of people fighting over a treasure.
That treasure was a drop of water. Sparks of light glittered on the surface of that water droplet as countless Daoist patterns swirled around it.
The cultivators were all fighting intensely all over that water droplet.
“That’s an Immortal Dewdrop!”
“D*mn, I can’t believe it. That’s a dewdrop that has absorbed the aura of an Immortal. Judging by the energy fluctuations coming from it, even an Immortal will find this dewdrop very useful. Quick, to battle!”
The newly-arrived cultivators soon joined the fight, making the already chaotic battle even worse.
“Hmph! Out of my way!”
At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out.
A green-robed elder arrived at the scene, and a terrifying surge of source energy immediately erupted from him, sending every cultivator there flying
He was a Half-Immortal.
That Half-Immortal reached out toward the Immortal Dewdrop. However, a ray of Buddhist Light suddenly shone as a young monk appeared in front of the green-robed Half-Immortal. The moment he unleashed a punch, terrifying rays of golden Buddhist Light erupted! The green-robed Half-Immortal was forced back several meters.
“An Arhat from the Golden Ridge Temple?!”
The green-robed Half-Immortal looked at the monk grimly.
“Venerable cultivator, that item is fated to be mine. Can I have it?” The Little Arhat smiled.
“No can do!”
The green-robed Half-Immortal snorted.
As soon as he said that, a powerful aura appeared behind the Little Arhat and enveloped him, sending a cold chill down his spine.
When he turned around and looked behind the Little Arhat, he saw an elder monk in a red cassock looking at him indifferently.
It was as if the elder monk was looking at a mere ant.
That elder monk was an Immortal from the Golden Ridge Temple.
