Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

'I'll do whatever you ask?'

'What if the Heavenly Sword turns out to be a pervert and asks Luo Xue to offer her body?'

At that thought, Mo Wuji could not bear it any longer and quickly interjected, "Luo Xue, the Dao King Tribe has countless sword techniques. You can have your pick on any of them, and I'll get them for you–"

"Those are useless to me."

Luo Xue shook her head and replied. "I only want to learn the technique the Heavenly Sword used to split the skies into two!"

There was an excited look on her face. After all, she felt a transcendental intent from Chu Kuangren's attack just now, and it was the ultimate embodiment of Sword Dao that she was looking for!

No other technique in the world would make her feel as excited as that.

"Hand over that sword technique, Heavenly Sword, and the Dao King Tribe shall forget what you did to us in the past," Mo Wuji said coldly.

"Watch your mouth, Mo Wuji."

Luo Xue frowned a little, making no effort to hide her annoyance against Mo Wuji's disrespect toward Chu Kuangren.

'I'm serious about learning this technique. Why is this guy causing so much trouble here?'

"Luo Xue, I'm just worried that this guy will take advantage of you," Mo Wuji hurriedly said.

"This has nothing to do with you, Mo Wuji," Luo Xue replied coldly.

She then turned to look at Chu Kuangren again with excitement in her eyes.

However, Chu Kuangren shook his head and merely said, "You'll never be able to learn that technique."

After all, that attack he unleashed earlier was the culmination of his understanding of the Dao. It was imbued with his unique Invincible Self-Empowering Arch Gilded Intent too. Even Chu Kuangren was not confident in being able to cast that same technique whenever he wished.

"I can never learn it?"

"That's right. Everyone has their own path of Sword Dao to follow. Instead of pursuing the Sword Dao that belongs to others, why not open a new path yourself? With your aptitude, you should have no trouble understanding this concept."

Luo Xue was an extremely talented cultivator. Otherwise, how would she be ranked eleventh on the Heavenly God Leaderboard?

However, she was momentarily attracted by the Heavenly Sword's sword technique earlier. That gave her the idea of learning that technique from him, and in the process, she neglected her own Sword Dao. If Chu Kuangren really did teach her that technique, she would end up forsaking her own Sword Dao, which would be a very terrifying thing to do for every sword cultivator.

She might end up living in the shadow of Chu Kuangren's Sword Dao and could never surpass him.

"Everyone's Sword Dao path…"

Luo Xue immediately went silent and pondered after hearing Chu Kuangren's words.

Chu Kuangren could no longer be bothered, so he headed to the stone tablet straight away to begin the challenge. With his current strength, it took him no time to get through it.

Mo Wuji was shocked to see Chu Kuangren pass that challenge so quickly. "This guy got through it faster than I did!"

After passing that challenge, Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared in a flash.

Soon, Luo Xue returned from her deep contemplation and said with a lingering fear, "I'm glad the Heavenly Sword's advice has prevented me from straying from my path. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would've fallen into a Demonic Blockade."

"Hmph, he just didn't want to teach you, that's all." Mo Wuji snorted.

"Mo Wuji, I hope you'll stop speaking ill of the Heavenly Sword, or you'll be the one to face the edge of my sword!" Luo Xue said calmly, with a piercing sword intent flashing across her gaze.

"Luo Xue, you–"

Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Luo Xue had disappeared in a flash.

His expression turned grim.

After all, Luo Xue may have been cold to him, but she had never spoken to him badly before. Yet now, she had threatened him because of Chu Kuangren!

He could not help but feel jealous about that.

"Curse you, Heavenly Sword! It looks like I can't allow you to stay alive any longer!"

A cold glint shot out from deep within Mo Wuji's eyes.

…

When the Ancient Path opened, everyone who managed to get to the Ancient Path's nine hundred and ninety-first challenge was a Peerless Prodigies. Each of them was a famous individual in the Central Heaven Universe in their very own right.

However, when Chu Kuangren arrived, he realized that no one was there, and the stone tablet engraved with Arch Gilded Intent was nowhere to be found.

"It looks like I'm the first one here," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Although he had spent a long time cultivating his Arch Gilded Intent along the way, he managed to catch up by getting through the subsequent challenges without much effort. Hence, he had overtaken everyone by that point.

"So… These are the so-called Heavenly God Leaderboard cultivators, huh? It looks like that's all there is to them."

Chu Kuangren shook his head, disappointed with the Prodigies from the Central Heaven Universe.

At that time, a woodcutter suddenly appeared before him. He was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back while holding an axe.

'A woodcutter?'

'Why is a woodcutter here in the Galaxy God King's Ancient Path?'

Chu Kuangren did not go ahead immediately to ask but silently observe the woodcutter walking into a nearby forest. Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before following along.

After the woodcutter entered the forest, he looked around for a while and ended up picking one of the trees. He then took his axe and began hacking at it.

That axe contained a mysterious and powerful Arch Gilded Intent. Chu Kuangren did not doubt that the axe could split a whole planet in half if it was used that way.

However, when the axe landed on that tree, it only managed to make a small cut in it.

The woodcutter continued swinging his axe, eventually felling that tree with the same thickness as a bowl. He then wiped away the sweat from his head and chuckled at Chu Kuangren. "I'm known as the Woodcutter, a humble servant of my Master. The challenge of this level is quite simple. You just need to cut down a tree like I did to get through."

Was that task easy?

It was anything but that. After all, the trees there were not ordinary at all. They were even tougher than some Immortal Metals.

The Woodcutter was an Arch Gilded Immortal almost in the Five Qi Realm. However, even he took a considerable amount of effort to cut down a tree.

The difficulty of that challenge was evident.

However, Chu Kuangren chuckled upon hearing that. "It's quite simple indeed."

The Woodcutter froze for a while.

The next instant, Chu Kuangren made a sword hand sign. His Immortal's Core energy surged forward like a raging torrent, immediately setting off a gigantic storm.

The surrounding leaves rustled in the winds.

A strand of sword qi gathered at Chu Kuangren's fingertips before he casually swung his fingertips toward a nearby tree.

With a crack, a great tree was immediately cut down! That tree was thick enough that a person could hug it!

The cut made from the sword qi was clean and smooth!

Compared to the Woodcutter, Chu Kuangren's attack was several times more powerful.

However, that was not the end of it. As the big tree fell, several more trees behind it began to fall. All of the cuts were similarly smooth and clean too!

Amidst the dust, Chu Kuangren's single attack had cut down half of the forest!

The Woodcutter was immediately stunned when he saw that.

There had been many others who got through that challenge in the past. However, none of them were like Chu Kuangren, who could cut down half of the forest with a single sword qi attack. It was his first time seeing something like that.

"The rest of the fallen trees are yours."

Chu Kuangren dispelled the sword qi at his fingertip and left with both hands behind his back.

The Woodcutter watched as Chu Kuangren leave before he looked back at the forest. He shook his head and said, "What a monster."

Following that, Chu Kuangren continued clearing the next seven challenges, all of which were different.

One challenge had a person with a chessboard setup who invited him for a round of chess, but the truth of the heavens and earth was actually hidden within that game of chess. Hence, that game of chess was also a test of the challenger's understanding of the Dao.

If the challenger was not knowledgeable enough, they would be trapped in that game of chess forever, unable to free themselves from the trap.

On another challenge, there was a painter whose painting contained hidden killing intent.

The next challenge contained distracting illusions that were cast by someone. The illusions were meant to affect and trap his Daoist core.

Chu Kuangren was also invited for a drink at one of the levels. The wine was so strong that drinking it would make even an Arch Gilded Immortal drunk for three days. Yet, Chu Kuangren drank thousands of cups without even getting drunk.

A person was playing the guqin on the other level. His guqin music was as sharp as swords…

However, Chu Kuangren was not fazed by any of those challenges as he went through the next seven challenges effortlessly and soon arrived at the end of the Ancient Path.
