Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Panda Novel

In the Towering Heaven Palace of the Black Heaven Sect.

Chu Kuangren was keeping count of what he had gotten from the Imperial Palace.

He had reaped lots of rewards this time. Aside from the three remarkable treasures that Chu Kuangren had gotten from the Qian Imperial Palace, the rest of the items could also fetch a high value. This was such as the Emperor’s Blood and the Supreme Elixirs.

Just the Supreme Elixirs itself was enough to make any sage orthodoxies go crazy over it. Combining these treasures with the loot that Chu Kuangren had gotten from the Serpent Deity’s treasure trove, Chu Kuangren now had the resources to lift the Black Heaven Sect to a whole new level.

“This scroll is one of the Nine Great Emperor Techniques.”

Chu Kuangren opened the wooden box and was shocked by its content.

The Emperor Technique scroll found within the box had the same origins as the other Emperor Scrolls that Chu Kuangren previously found. “What a coincidence.”

Chu Kuangren unrolled the scroll and studied it before discovering that the scroll was the description of an Emperor Technique known as the Palm of Sorrow.

As usual, the technique was related to its name.

“Finger of Despair, Raging Gods Fist, and now the Palm of Sorrow… It seems like all of these techniques are related to the Daoist core and a person’s emotions. Could the other Emperor Techniques follow a similar pattern too?” Chu Kuangren murmured to himself and kept the Palm of Sorrow’s scroll away.

He then averted his attention to the other two items.

It was an Emperor Scripture and an Emperor’s Weapon, a defensive black armor.

Chu Kuangren decided to refine the Emperor’s Weapon first.

Through his previous experience of refining the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd, Chu Kuangren was now familiar with the process.

Approximately three days later, Chu Kuangren was close to refining it to completion. Perhaps it was the heaven’s will, but Chu Kuangren had also discovered the true name of the Emperor’s Weapon. It was called the Innate Ferocious Armor!

It was such a perfect complement to his Infallible Tormented Physique.

Upon consuming most of the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune, Chu Kuangren finally emerged from closed doors.

Although Chu Kuangren had just gone through a closed-door meditation, he did not intend to slow down.

He was growing anxious over the remarks made by the Qian Emperor. It was not that he feared the people of the Nine Heavens or the Underworld Demonic Realm…

With Chu Kuangren’s capabilities, he needed not fear anyone. Not unless an Emperor reappeared in this realm or he was surrounded by a group of Sage Rulers.

The source of his anxiety stemmed from the Black Heaven Sect.

In the Era of Great Battles, more and more powerhouses would emerge, each stronger than the last.

For the Black Heaven Sect to emerge triumphant in such an era, it could not rely solely on Chu Kuangren’s capability.

“I must find a way to make the members stronger, especially for the group of Daoists like Nangong Huang. No matter what, they should at least be able to put on a great fight with the empyrean walkers,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

There were only so many approaches for a cultivator to become stronger faster, such as improving their spiritual energies, Daoist Rhymes, equipment, and techniques…

“I could strengthen their spiritual energies through medicinal pills. As for their Daoist Rhymes, I could lend the Emperor Scriptures to them now that I’m almost done with it…”

“As for their equipment, there are plenty of Sage Weapons from the Serpent Deity’s treasure. I’ll dispense it accordingly when the time is ripe. As for their techniques, I’m familiar with many powerful techniques. However, an ordinary Sage Technique is not much use for them to improve…”

Chu Kuangren contemplated for a moment.

He then went to visit the alchemy hall.

Compared to a few years ago, the alchemy hall now included a section that was known as the Vitality Quarter. It was held as a sacred place by all Black Heaven Sect’s alchemists!

It was because the Vitality Quarter was home to a mysterious presence that was well-familiar with any alchemy knowledge that dated back to ancient times. Whenever the alchemists faced any difficulties, they would come to the Vitality Quarter to seek their answers.

Chu Kuangren arrived at the Vitality Quarter.

However, there was already someone else in there.

It was one of the disciples of the alchemy hall.

The disciple was seeking guidance from the mysterious being of the Vitality Quarter after describing his problem in detail.

“Senior, how should I overcome this problem?”

The alchemy disciple asked.

“This problem’s way too simple. If you struggle with such a problem, you’re better off refocusing on your foundations first.”

An old, frail voice was heard in the Vitality Quarter.

The alchemy disciple was embarrassed but did not dare refute the being’s remark.

Rumor had it that even Master Gujiang had to show respect to this being. Once, Master Gujiang had gotten into a disagreement with this being over a medicinal recipe. In the end, the mysterious entity scolded and corrected Master Gujiang until he had nothing left to say.

Ever since then, Master Gujiang had been worshipping the mysterious being like it was a great deity.

If Gujiang had shown such a level of respect, a lowly disciple like him would surely need to hold himself to a higher standard.

“I’ll remember your teachings, Senior.”

The disciple hastily bowed and retreated.

When the disciple turned around, he bumped into Chu Kuangren at the entrance.

“Greetings, Sect Leader.” The disciples hastily bowed again. He did not expect to bump into his Sect Leader on a typical day, so he was flustered. After all, this was his first time being in such close contact with Chu Kuangren.

“Hmm.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

“My visitor, speak thy question.”

The elderly voice of the Vitality Hall spoke to Chu Kuangren.

“You want to mess around with others, go ahead. Do it with me, and I’ll strangle you.”

Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

The disciple, who had yet to leave, was shocked. How could the Sect Leader utter such words to the godly entity of the Vitality Hall — an entity who was highly revered by countless alchemists including Master Gujiang?!

Yet he still threatened to strangle him?!

Oh heavens, the Sect Leader was in a different league.

After the disciple had left the hall.

An object sembling a Rubik’s Cube appeared before Chu Kuangren. It was the Legendary-grade item that Chu Kuangren had previously gotten from his daily gacha roll, the Vitality Pill Tome.

From the Rubik’s Cube, a little boy with a pair of ponytail braids and dressed in a red dudou appeared. The little boy was none other than the well-revered being of the Black Heaven Sect, the item sprite of the Vitality Pill Tome.

“Master, you should’ve saved me some face in front of an outsider. How am I supposed to give them guidance next time?”

The item sprite, Little Tian, said. Despite looking like a seven-year-old child, his voice strangely resembled that of an old person.

“Speak normally.”

“Cough, I may have gotten used to it.”

Little Tian coughed twice, reverting to his usual voice, and proceeded to leap around Chu Kuangren. “Master, is there anything I can help with today?”

“Yes. I wish to find the recipe for a safe pill that could quickly strengthen one’s spiritual energy,” said Chu Kuangren.

Little Tian almost twisted his face at Chu Kuangren’s request. “Master, are you testing me on purpose? You want it to be both safe and effective, the best of both worlds. Do you know just how rare it is for such a pill to exist?”

“What now? Are you incapable of doing it?” Chu Kuangren smiled and said.

“Impossible! I’m Xiao Tian, the mighty item sprite of the Vitality Pill Tome. There’s hardly any medicinal pill that could escape my knowledge!”

Little Tian then transformed into a ray of golden light and entered the Rubik’s Cube to search for Chu Kuangren’s recipe.

Soon, a few pages of recipes appeared before Chu Kuangren.

“Pure Pellucid Pill, Spiritual Resurgence Pill, and Golden Jade Marrow Pill. The first two are Sage-grade medicinal pills, while the third one is a Boundary Sage-grade pill. These will surely satisfy your requirements,” said Little Tian excitedly.

“Not bad at all.”

Chu Kuangren smiled satisfyingly. He then retrieved the Soul Rejuvenation Herb that he had gotten from the Serpent Deity’s treasure trove and showed it to Little Tian. “Do you know what this is?”

“This is… a Soul Rejuvenation Herb!” Little Tian gasped in shock after he had studied the pill.
