Chapter 84: Wuchen Zi’s Despair, The Taixu Temple Lord’s Invite

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wuchen Zi, Lead Disciple of the Taixu Temple, cultivation level — late-stage Paradise Realm, cultivated Sage Technique — Ethereal Taixu Technique, cultivated Sage Technique —?Sunlight Overdrive Destruction…”

“Taixu Temple’s genius, wielder of the Sage Ruler Weapon — Taixu Seal…”

Every bit of information that related to Wuchen Zi appeared before Chu Kuangren’s eyes one by one.

He had heard of the name ‘Wuchen Zi’ long before he came to the Taixu Temple. However, rumor said that the person had been in closed-door meditation all this time, so no matter be it the marriage by combat or the Secret Realm excursion, no one had seen this person.

Today was Chu Kuangren’s first time meeting him.

Some said that if not for Wuchen Zi’s closed-door meditation, Gu Changge’s Path of Invincibility would not have hit the Black Heaven Sect. He would have failed when he reached the Taixu Temple, seeing as it was obvious that Wuchen Zi was no small fry.

However, under the analysis provided by the Eye of Revelation, it seemed like Wuchen Zi’s overall prowess and strength did, in fact, exceed Gu Changge’s by a large percentage.

“Although I’ve been in Taixu Temple for quite a long while, I have also heard about Brother Chu’s fame. So I specially came to pay you a visit today.” Wuchen Zi smiled.

“I hope you’re pleased with what you see.”

“The aura of a Banished Immortal, it’s truly remarkable.”

“Yeah, I get that a lot.”

Chu Kuangren nodded in agreement without any hint of shame.

“I have heard about Brother Chu’s purpose for visiting Taixu Temple. Does Brother Chu intend to follow what Gu Changge did previously?”

At that time, to cultivate his Heart of Invincibility, Gu Changge single-handedly challenged the disciples of a few sage orthodoxies to battle. From his perspective, Wuchen Zi felt that Chu Kuangren’s purpose of visiting each of the great sage orthodoxies was similar to Gu Changge’s.

“Sheesh, Brother Wuchen. You really are harsh on words, aren’t you? That Gu Changge made such a big fuss last time, it’s like he’s afraid the world would never know what he did. On the other hand, I have been keeping a much lower profile unlike him. Besides, I’m merely seeking someone to mentally spar with. I won’t lay a single finger on anyone.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

Those words of his made Wuchen Zi look at him weirdly. “Didn’t Brother Chu visit the White Lotus School previously? Not long after, word started to spread about Brother Chu becoming a White Lotus Bachelor Sage. Isn’t that a world sensation as well?”

“So all of this is what Brother Chu means by… Keeping a low profile?”

Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren helplessly shrugged and replied, “That was something that happened out of the blue. Will you believe me, Brother Wuchen?”

Who knew that the White Lotus Light of Purification Technique held such significance to the School of the White Lotus, that it was directly related to the whole cultivation foundation of the orthodoxy as well.

“It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not. What’s important is the reason that I’ve come to visit Brother Chu, as I intend to… mentally spar with you.”

As Wuchen Zi said those words, the little Daoist attendant beside him jumped in shock.

‘Senior Brother Wuchen wants to mentally spar with Chu Kuangren?’

“Sure, of course.”

Chu Kuangren had no reason to object because after all, that was his purpose of visit.

“After you.” Wuchen Zi waved his sleeves and two cushion pads appeared before them. He then went and sat on one of them while Daoist Rhymes began to emanate around his body.

Chu Kuangren took a seat directly opposite him.

As the sky-prides of the current generation mentally sparred before him, the little Daoist at the side was extremely excited but dared not make any noise for fear of disturbing both of them.

Within the room, two surges of Daoist Rhymes started to clash against each other within the room.

The Sword of The Heavens looked ever so sharp above Chu Kuangren’s head, while Wuchen Zi was surrounded by a rolling sea of clouds that seemed unpredictable and ethereal.

As the Daoist Rhymes spread out of the room, it was picked up by some of the experienced cultivators nearby.

“Someone’s mentally sparring now.”

“It’s coming from the direction of the guest room. It must be Chu Kuangren.”

“What an immeasurably sharp Sword-based Daoist Rhyme. On the other hand, there’s a surge of ethereal fluctuation, so that must be our Taixu Sect’s Dao. That’s Wuchen Zi! ”

“These two were mentally sparring so soon?”

Curious, some of the Taixu Temple elders headed towards the mental sparring location of those two.

“Besides the Ethereal Taixu Technique, which is one of the most well-known cultivation techniques within my Taixu Sect, other famous ones are namely the thirty-two sets of Supreme Techniques and two sets of Sage Techniques. Among these techniques, I have only learned twelve of them, so please allow me to learn more from you, Brother Chu.”

By the time the crowd of elders rushed to the location, they only heard Wuchen Zi’s explanation of the Dao. After that, his Daoist Rhyme started to change its form and materialize into a type of technique.

The sea of clouds rolled, forming into clusters of clouds which surged forth towards Chu Kuangren from all directions.

“This is the Cloud Flipping Technique!” One of the elders recognized it.

Just when the cluster of clouds had managed to get near Chu Kuangren, a ray of light flashed across the room from the Sword of the Heavens above his head and the cloud clusters were instantly shattered.

Not surprised, Wuchen Zi continued to manipulate his Daoist Rhyme, forming them into multiple mysterious and interesting techniques.

“That’s the Supreme Technique, Willow Whisking Technique!”

“And also the Chilling Spring Technique.”

“Tsk, it’s so rare to see someone who has mastered so many types of Supreme Techniques to such a level.”

“No doubt about it. He truly is the only sky-pride who is acknowledged by the Taixu Seal, and that’s truly remarkable. ”

“Hey, take a look at Chu Kuangren.”

Wuchen Zi did possess a marvelous assortment of techniques, but no matter how violent a storm he cooked up, Chu Kuangren remained unmoved.

The Sword of the Heavens levitated above his head, with sword rays flashing from time to time. None of the techniques were able to land onto his body.

The Single Strike Technique was demonstrated vividly in perfection.

At this time.

The sea of clouds surrounding Wuchen Zi transformed into an artificial sun and as the sun rose, its light covered tens of thousands of feet. It was an extremely dazzling sight.

Then, the great golden ray of light shot out from the artificial sun, passed through the sea of clouds and headed towards Chu Kuangren like an arrow.

“That’s the Sage Technique, Sunlight Overdrive Destruction!”

“I can’t believe Wuchen Zi resorted to using such a technique that quickly as it’s meant to be a last resort move. It seems like Chu Kuangren is pushing him to the limit and giving him tremendous amounts of pressure.”

The crowd of elders each exclaimed in marvel.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was still ever so calm despite facing the Sage Technique. Above his head, the Sword of the Heavens shot out a purple sword ray.

When the purple sword ray clashed together with the great golden sun ray, the golden sun rays were instantly torn apart like it was a piece of thin paper!

The sword ray was such an overwhelming force that as soon as it landed on Wuchen Zi’s body, he was seen trembling slightly as the Daoist Rhyme surrounding him dispersed.

With that, the mental sparring bout reached its end with a clear outcome.

“Your Dao is still lacking and your techniques are still not strong enough,” Chu Kuangren said casually. There was no aggression, no arrogance, nor contempt in the tone of his voice. It was as if he was merely explaining a fact.

However, that was indeed the most shocking part of the sentence. This meant that Chu Kuangren was already on a whole new level of existence compared to Wuchen Zi.

It was like comparing humans to ants.

Would a person be glad of being stronger than an ant? Would they despise the ants because of that fact?

Of course not, merely because they were on a different level.

Wuchen Zi truly understood what that meant and he could not help but let out a bitter smile. The difference was just too great.

He was the most outstanding sky-pride in Taixu Temple. However, when compared to Chu Kuangren, he felt that he was too insignificant, too weak.

“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to mentally spar with you, Brother Chu. I have gained a lot of lessons and experience from this session.” Wuchen Zi stood up and bowed.

He did indeed gain something, but most of it was feelings of despair and sorrow.

Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. “You’re welcome.”

He did not intend to console Wuchen Zi because it was pointless to do so. The fact that he still was stronger than Wuchen Zi still stood as established.

Wuchen Zi would have to overcome this by himself.

“Sigh, the difference is just too great.”

“I agree.”

A few?Taixu Temple’s elders could not help but sigh.

At that time, the Taixu Temple’s Lord was walking towards them slowly. Upon seeing him, Wuchen Zi immediately bowed and greeted him, “Greeting, teacher.”

Wuchen Zi was the personal disciple of the current Taixu Temple’s Lord.

“A moment of victory or defeat does not mean it’ll stay that way forever. Wuchen, this is just a lesson for you. Do not get too saddened over it.” Upon seeing the sorrow in Wuchen Zi’s eyes, the Taixu Temple’s Lord could not help but feel distressed at his disciple’s defeat.

“I understand, teacher.” Wuchen Zi nodded.

After that, the Taixu Temple’s Lord looked at Chu Kuangren and said, “Junior Daoist Chu, I see that your understanding of the Dao is quite refined and profound. I’m afraid that there’s no one among your peers that can compare with you, which is why I wonder, would an old man like me have the honor to mentally spar with you?”

Those words immediately caused an uproar.
