Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134 - Li Wangchen’s Invitation, the Heavenly Champions Appear One After Another

After Lan Yu killed Lin Jue, Chu Kuangren went to Mister Lu and the others for some small talk. During that time, Mister Lu took a glance at his cultivation level.

Although Chu Kuangren had hidden it well, Mister Lu could still see through him in a glance since he was an Arch Gilded Immortal.

“Seventh-grade Earthen Immortal, huh? Heavenly Champion Chu, I hope you’ll put in more effort starting today. The Scripture Sea might be filled with knowledge, but you’ll still have a chance to learn them in the future. On the other hand, this Battle of Heavenly Champions we’re facing is an event that history has never seen before,” Mister Lu advised.

Seeing that Chu Kuangren could comprehend the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, Mister Lu knew then that he was very talented and should not be taken lightly.

‘If he can focus on increasing his cultivation level, with the resources provided by the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren will surely progress by leaps and bounds.’

“Understood, Mister Lu. There’s no need for you to worry,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

He had already read every book in White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea. Hence, there was no point for him to go through them anymore.

“Very well. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve in the future.” Mister Lu chuckled.

“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave soon,” replied Chu Kuangren before he left with Lan Yu.

The Planquilon Academy Dean also bowed and left.

Staring at Chu Kuangren’s silhouette, one of the Famed Masters laughed. “How long do you guys think Chu Kuangren will take to catch up to the other Heavenly Champions? I heard Cao Yun has ascended to the Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal Realm.”

“Hmph. Perhaps dozens of years.”

“Dozens of years or more, I bet. After all, the other Heavenly Champions are no weaklings either. They, too, will improve and get stronger as time passes,” said another Famed Master.

Everyone was guessing how fast Chu Kuangren could catch up to the other Heavenly Champions’ cultivation level.

After all, the Heavenly Champions were individuals who were inherently blessed with great fortune. Pairing that with Chu Kuangren’s talents and abilities, he definitely had a bright future ahead of him.

…

Chu Kuangren went into closed-door meditation as soon as he returned to Planquilon Academy.

“Seventh-grade Earthen Immortal, huh? It’s time for me to improve myself.” Chu Kuangren grinned.

Then, he took out a huge pile of vials, bottles, and some rare treasures.

Each of them was brimming with Immortal Sparks and powerful energy fluctuations. He had obtained all of them during his daily gacha rolls over the years.

There were even some God-tier items among them.

All of those items were used to increase one’s cultivation level.

However, it was because he had been focused on studying in the Scripture Sea throughout the years and was not in a hurry to increase his cultivation level that he accumulated all those items.

Although he had also given some of them to Lan Yu and the others, the remaining items were enough for him to increase his cultivation level rapidly.

“Alright. Let’s begin.” Chu Kuangren took up one of the items — a jade vial —and immediately swallowed everything inside like it was candy.

The effects of his Universal Cauldron Physique immediately activated!

That Daoist Physique may have been integrated into his Ultimate Almighty Source Physique, but it could still replicate the Universal Cauldron Physique’s abilities to a similar effect.

The replicated effects might even be stronger than the original!

As if his body was a cauldron, Chu Kuangren rapidly refined and absorbed every pill he consumed. Slowly, his cultivation level began to increase.

…

One month later, a young man in blue robes arrived at Chu Kuangren’s residence.

“My name is Li Yungao from the Cirrus Academy. I’ve come to visit Heavenly Champion Chu,” Li Yungao, who was the young man in blue robes, said.

Lan Yu walked out, looked at Li Yungao, and replied indifferently, “My Master is in a closed-door meditation, so he won’t be seeing any guests.”

Li Yungao looked sad to hear that, but then, he said with a smile, “I suppose you must be Miss Lan Yu.”

He then took out two invitation letters and said, “Li Wangchen of the Cirrus Academy is organizing an Elegant Gathering. He has sent me to invite the two of you.”

Lan Yu accepted the invitation letters.

“Since Heavenly Champion Chu is still in closed-door meditation, I shall not intrude. But if he finishes his closed-door meditation in time, I’ll cordially invite him to attend this important event. Of course, if he can’t come, you can come alone if you wish, Miss Lan Yu. I shall take my leave now.”

Li Yungao presented her with a fist salute and left.

Lan Yu looked at the two invitation letters strangely. “Li Wangchen of the Cirrus Academy, one of the nineteen Heavenly Champions, huh? I heard that he’s already a fully-perfected Eighth-grade Earthen Immortal.”

“His cultivation level is quite similar compared to Lin Jue’s. However, since he’s a Heavenly Champion, I suppose there must be something special about him.”

“Interesting.”

Lan Yu put the invitation letters away carefully.

As the date of the gathering drew closer, there was still no sign of Chu Kuangren finishing his closed-door meditation. As such, Lan Yu handed one of the invitation letters to Chu Hong and asked her to pass it to Chu Kuangren.

“I’ll go check out how powerful the other Heavenly Champions are first.” Lan Yu smiled.

“Alright.” Chu Hong nodded.

In Cirrus Academy, hundreds of students of the academy had gathered on a mountain peak, for they had also received invitations to attend that Elegant Gathering.

Moreover, they were all notable students from Hundred Academy.

Lan Yu had also arrived at the venue, and her arrival had attracted the attention of many people.

“It’s Lan Yu.”

“Oh, it’s that person who killed Lin Jue. This is the first time I’ve heard of a sky-pride like her in Planquilon Academy.”

“She’s quite pretty as well.”

“Hot d*mn. She’s such a beauty. I think she’s almost on par with the likes of Zhao Fangfei from Inksnow Academy.”

“They are both gorgeous in their own way.”

Everyone was whispering about Lan Yu. Nowadays, in the academy, she could be said as the most famous person who was second only to the Heavenly Champions. Some had even made comparisons with her against the Inksnow Heavenly Champion and other female Heavenly Champions.

Lan Yu could not care less about the fame she had acquired.

After all, she had only come to test the strength of the other Heavenly Champions.

“Aren’t the Heavenly Champions here yet?”

Lan Yu furrowed her brows.

Just then, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and a white figure descended from the clouds.

He had a pair of beautiful eyes and was holding a fan, with a hint of romance to his presence.

“It’s Heavenly Champion from Peach Blossom Academy, Scholar Yao!”

Someone recognized him as Scholar Yao, or Yao the Scholar.

Apparently, before he started his cultivation journey, he was once the scholar of a country, hence the name Scholar Yao.

Following Scholar Yao’s arrival, a sword ray flashed across the other side of the sky and split all the clouds within a thousand kilometers apart.

At the end of the split, a black-haired young man holding an ancient sword approached.

“It’s Li Wangchan of Cirrus Academy, the one who organized this Elegant Gathering. I heard that he specializes in Sword Dao. His sword ray, which split apart a thousand kilometers of clouds earlier, seemed like it was going to tear apart the void.”

“His strength is truly extraordinary.”

“Haha. All of you are here.”

At that moment, a burst of laughter rang out.

The whole mountain peak suddenly rumbled. No, besides that mountain peak, every mountain range within a thousand-kilometer radius had also started rumbling.

Everyone looked toward the source of that laughter.

A hulking man clad in armor with a halberd in hand arrived. His pace was extremely mysterious as Daoist patterns intertwined for every step he took, and his terrifying power rumbled every mountain range within a thousand-kilometer radius.

He may be one person, but his stride was no different than a great army approaching!

“It’s Wang Chentian of Battlegale Academy!”

“What a domineering aura.”

Everyone’s expression turned serious.

Then, countless Daoist patterns suddenly intertwined and formed a gigantic rune in the sky before it fell to the ground.

With that, the rumbling stopped.

“Brother Wang, this is the venue of Cirrus Heavenly Champion’s Elegant Gathering. If you destroy it right now, what’s the point of us coming here?”

A chuckle sounded.

Amidst the clouds, a young man in black Daoist robes appeared.

“It’s Fu Shan of Purple City Academy!”

Fu Shan was most well-versed in runes among the nineteen Heavenly Champions.

As the Heavenly Champions appeared one after another, the atmosphere at the Elegant Gathering became livelier.

Meanwhile, Lan Yu looked at those Heavenly Champions with a hint of battle intent in her eyes.
