Chapter 467: The Five Orthodoxies Panics, The Seniors
The elders excitedly greeted Chu Kuangren and his companions upon their return to the Black Heaven Sect.
All of the orthodoxy members were overjoyed when they learned that Chu Kuangren had unlocked the Heavenly Punishment Seal. It was an auspicious occasion.
“Elder Ruyan, let’s take down the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation tomorrow. The Black Heaven Sect no longer needs to live in seclusion,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Having previously been shackled by the Heavenly Punishment Seal, he was forced to resort to such methods.
Now that the seal had been unlocked, Chu Kuangren no longer feared anyone. The Black Heaven Sect members could now roam freely in Firmament Star.
Chu Kuangren would love to see if anyone was gutsy enough to provoke them!
“Alright.”
Elder Ruyan nodded passionately.
Just the maintenance of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation itself had exhausted a large number of resources. Reserving the mega formation only for times of need would save the orthodoxy a large sum of costs.
Furthermore, the Black Heaven Sect members could now officially roam freely.
“By the way, where’s Shang Qingxue? I’ve brought someone to see her,” said Chu Kuangren.
“Oh, Qingxue has not returned yet.”
Elder Ruyan answered.
Several outstanding disciples of the Black Heaven Sect had left the orthodoxy to undergo some training while Chu Kuangren was under the seal.
Shang Qingxue was one of them.
“Then, send a message to have her return,” said Chu Kuangren.
“Alright.”
“White-Robed Brother, I’m afraid you may have to wait a little longer.”
“No worries.” The White-Robed General was not anxious at all. He had waited for so many years that an additional few hours would do no harm.
Meanwhile, Elder Ruyan was secretly watching the White-Robed General. She could not resist her curiosity when it came to one of the legendary Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations.
The White-Robed General was a peculiar character. He did not exchange many conversations with Elder Ruyan and the others. Upon finding a secluded corner within the Black Heaven Sect, the White-Robed General made it his temporary home.
Following the removal of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation, the Black Heaven Sect had officially reappeared in this world!
News about its reappearance soon spread throughout the world.
Now, everyone knew that Chu Kuangren had unlocked his seal.
The otherworldly Chu Kuangren had finally made his return!
Countless sky-prides were so saddened by the news that they whined to the heavens for its unfairness!
“If Chu Kuangren has returned, what opportunities are there for sky-prides like us? Oh, heavens! How unfair you can be at times!”
“Sigh, three years. It has only been three years, and he has flattened the Ancient Battlefield with a single palm technique upon his return. Chu Kuangren is countless times scarier than he was before!”
“A person like him just can’t be rid of that easily.”
“Who said his era was over? It’s back again.”
Every cultivator under the sky was chattering away.
Chu Kuangren became the only news that mattered for now.
While most of the world was shocked at Chu Kuangren’s return, some forces were panicking and terrified.
They were none other than the Heavenly Golden Palace, Ethereal Rapture, Sacred Palace of Death, and the other orthodoxies that had previously participated in the attack against the Black Heaven Sect.
They had lost many resources during the war against the Black Heaven Sect and had yet to recuperate their power three years later. These orthodoxies were no longer as formidable as they once were.
The current Chu Kuangren, who had just obliterated the Ancient Battlefield with one palm technique, was not their match anymore. What method could they possibly use to defeat Chu Kuangren?!
The orthodoxies soon called an emergency meeting to discuss this pressing matter.
In the Heavenly Golden Palace.
The Sect Leaders of the orthodoxies gathered together.
“What should we do now? Chu Kuangren is way too strong after he lifted the Heavenly Punishment Seal. We’re no match for him at all.”
“If Chu Kuangren is here, I’m sure one palm technique will be all it takes to destroy each of us Sage Rulers.”
“D*mn it. No one in history has been able to lift the Heavenly Punishment Seal. How did he do that?”
“It doesn’t matter anymore. The more pressing issue is how are we going to deal with his revenge plot? I’m sure we’re all aware of the Craggy Ocean Tower’s fate, and Chu Kuangren has grown terrifyingly stronger since then. Our fate might even be worse than theirs. How should we save ourselves from this situation?”
“Why don’t we just surrender? We can’t win anyway.”
“Surrender? You must be joking. Do you think Chu Kuangren will just let us go if we concede defeat? Stop dreaming now. We’re Chu Kuangren’s mortal enemies.”
The Sect Leaders quarreled with one another, going from one argument to another. They had long lost the usual composure that came with being a Sect Leader.
However, they could not be blamed.
Few would be able to remain calm in the face of an approaching calamity.
Even the Sage Rulers were no exception.
“Alright. Let’s stop quarreling.”
Sage Ruler Changqin halted the arguments and said, “It’s true that we’re no match for Chu Kuangren, but some people can be.”
“Brother Changqin, are you referring to the seniors from the Forbidden Areas?”
The Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller said as he thought of something.
“That’s right.” Sage Ruler Changqin nodded firmly.
“It won’t be an easy feat to convince them. After all, they’ve isolated themselves in the Forbidden Areas for so many years. Why would they agree?”
The Acheron Manor Lord opined.
“Back in the days, our Golden Heavenly Palace’s Boundary Emperor Zhang Guang used to have a close relationship with one of the cultivators in the Nether Abyss. It’s possible that with enough rewards, we might be able to convince them to help us fight Chu Kuangren,” Sage Ruler Changqin said as he took a deep breath.
Finally, the group saw a glimmer of hope.
“If that’s the case, the Ethereal Rapture is willing to sponsor a ton of Celestial cores for the reward.” The Ethereal Rapture Sect Leader was the first to chip in.
“The Acheron Manor is willing to fork in ten billion soulstones.”
“Hmph. The seniors are a group of higher-level beings, so they would never be impressed by mere soul stones. The Bottomless Chasm is willing to contribute ten Deep Sea Treasures!”
The Sect Leaders offered their contributions, each of them lucrative enough for many cultivators to wage a war for.
“In that case, please send over your offerings to the Heavenly Golden Palace by tomorrow. I shall deliver them personally to the Nether Abyss.”
Sage Ruler Changqin said.
While the Sect Leaders were racking their brains over their survival plan, the Black Heaven Sect released a public announcement.
The orthodoxy announced that in three days, Chu Kuangren would launch an attack against the Heavenly Golden Palace, Ethereal Rapture, Acheron Manor, Sacred Palace of Death, and Bottomless Chasm!
A huge commotion ensued amongst the cultivators of Firmament Star.
They knew that after Chu Kuangren had unlocked his seal, he would seek revenge against the orthodoxies that previously attacked the Black Heaven Sect.
However, they did not think it would be so soon.
“This is Chu Kuangren’s announcement of allowing one last chance for cultivators who don’t wish to die to back off.”
“Tsk. I wonder how the orthodoxies will deal with this. However, I guess even if it is Chu Kuangren, he will need to deal with them one at a time. It looks like we have many exciting days ahead of us.”
“Three years ago, when six orthodoxies went against the Black Heaven Sect, they failed miserably and lost millions of cultivators in that war. I can’t believe that three years later, a huge massacre will take place right at the doorsteps of these orthodoxies instead.”
“And so continues the war from three years ago. I think we’re approaching the end of the episode now…”
Many great ones in Firmament Star were prepared to observe the upcoming battle. Yet, at the same time, the five orthodoxies were scrambling around in a state of panic as they sent their most valuable treasures to the Heavenly Golden Palace.
Sage Ruler Changqin immediately set out for the Nether Abyss on the next day.
Their plans were beginning to spring into action.
The cultivators of Firmament Star were eager to observe Chu Kuangren’s journey to the orthodoxies. However, what they saw puzzled them to no end. It seemed like Chu Kuangren had never left the Black Heaven Sect since the beginning.
