1815 Fa Hai Joins the Group, Letâs Make Another Trade
âChu Kuangren wants the Pseudo Five Lanterns as a trade,â Fuxiâs successor said.
âDidnât you bring him the Treasure Lotus Lantern?â Hua Xi asked.
Fuxiâs successorâs expression darkened upon hearing that. âOne lantern is not enough. He wants more.â
âSigh. It looks like you fell short of his demands.â
âIn that case, we better figure out a way to fulfill his demands.â
âWhy donât we snatch it from him right away?â Long Xuan said with excitement in his eyes.
Having suffered many defeats from Chu Kuangren many years ago, he had been itching to return that humiliation as payback.
However, he could not do it alone.
Since so many Godly Weapon wielders were in their alliance, how could they not have a chance to do so by joining forces?
âTo defeat Chu Kuangren, we must strike him with the single most powerful blow. Otherwise, itâll be extremely hard for us to try a second time. The Universal Godly Weaponsâ Ten Directions Formation is the only thing weâre confident can defeat him! This great formation must be set up perfectly without mistakes. If we attack now, weâll only expose our plans and be defeated.â
âWhat do you think we should do then?â
âAs he said, Iâll have to find another of the Pseudo Five Lanterns for him.â
âI heard Fa Hai of the Great Thunder Temple once fought his enemies using the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern. Perhaps we can find him to discuss this.â
âVery well.â
Soon after, Fuxiâs successor and the others went to find Fa Hai.
He was busy growing his religion in a human country at that time, so he was extremely shocked when Fuxiâs successor came to him.
âIs he going to end me now because of the Battle of Heavenly Champions?â
At that thought, Fa Haiâs expression grew serious.
âFa Hai, weâve come to request something of yours â the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern!â
âOh, this item is my Immortal Weapon, and I never part with it. Iâm afraid I canât agree to your demands. Besides, what use do you have for this item?â
Fuxiâs successor then told him the plan about defeating Chu Kuangren.
He was not afraid that Fa Hai would expose their secret plan.
After all, Fa Hai had also been defeated by Chu Kuangren in the past. Hence, Fuxiâs successor believed that Fa Hai also resented Chu Kuangren to the core.
âOf course.â
Fuxiâs successorâs eyes lit up.
An extra person to their ranks would mean an increased chance to defeat Chu Kuangren.
â¦
Meanwhile, after Gu Linglong managed to obtain tremendous benefits from the Nirvana Rejuvenation Spring, which included increasing her cultivation level, she followed Chu Kuangren back to the Hundred Academy.
Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and Shang Honghua also followed him back.
In the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren was cultivating his Arch Gilded Intent on that day.
His Arch Gilded Intent was at the Fifth Step and was inching closer than ever before to reaching the Sixth Step.
He would break through to the peak Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal Realm when he was at the Seventh Step Arch Gilded Intent. Then, only after reaching that level could one attempt to break through to the Embodier Realm.
âI wonder how powerful the other me is right now,â Chu Kuangren murmured.
The other Chu Kuangren was in the Central Heaven Universe, which had the Central Heaven Temple, a sanctuary of cultivation. There were also many Outliers and Prodigies as his training opponents there.
He even had the Fantasy Roulette to cheat.
âHis cultivation level should have increased much faster compared to mine.â
âIncreasing my cultivation step by step is not really a suitable method at the moment.â
âThere are only two ways for me to increase my cultivation. The first method is to refine every treasure formed by parts of the Chaos Green Lotus. Only by increasing the Chaos Green Lotusâs power can I use it to strengthen myself. The second method will be to win the Battle of Heavenly Champions. Once I win and become the Immortal World Ruler, I can use all the resources of the Immortal World to increase my power!â Chu Kuangren mumbled.
For the former method, he now had the Yin and Yang Cauldron. That item was still gradually being refined inside his body, and he would still need some time to refine it completely.
For the latter method, the Heavenly Will Temple had appeared and listed the seventy-two Immortal Prides. Hence, the Battle of Heavenly Champions would be reaching an end soon.
âMaster, Fuxiâs successor wishes to meet you.â
At that moment, he received a message from Lan Yu.
Chu Kuangrenâs eyes lit up. âOh, has he found the items I need already? Fuxiâs successor is quite a useful errand boy it seems.â
He went outside the Hundred Academy and met Fuxiâs successor.
âBrother Chu, hereâs the Treasure Lotus Lantern and the Spirit Eagle Palace Lantern. Since Iâve found two of the Pseudo Five Lanterns for you, can you give me Fuxiâs Guqin now?â
Fuxiâs successor looked at Chu Kuangren. Although his heart was filled with hatred, he had to maintain a smile on his face.
He even addressed Chu Kuangren friendly as âBrother Chuâ.
Before obtaining Fuxiâs Guqin, he did not want to provoke Chu Kuangren.
âOnly two?â
âBrother Chu, Source Supreme Treasures like these are incredibly hard to find. Please understand that Iâve gone to great lengths to find these two lanterns for you.â The corner of Fuxiâs successorâs mouth twitched.
âOh well, it looks like Iâve overestimated your capabilities, Fuxiâs successor. Youâre no different than everyone else.â
Chu Kuangren took the two lanterns.
With a wave of his sleeves, Fuxiâs Guqin appeared. The guqinâs white jade surface radiated illuminating brilliance, mesmerizing those who set their eyes on it.
After seeing that guqin, Fuxiâs successorâs eyes lit up with joy.
âThat really is Fuxiâs Guqin!â
He kept it and said, âI will now be on my way, Brother Chu.â
âHeh, Iâll be looking forward to the next time we meet,â Chu Kuangren said to Fuxiâs successor. His words were chosen carefully, as if conveying a hidden meaning.
âAs do I,â Fuxiâs successor replied calmly.
After he turned around, a scheming look appeared in his eyes. âChu Kuangren, the next time we meet, itâll be your downfall!â
âMaster, are you going to give Fuxiâs Guqin away just like that?â Lan Yu asked curiously.
From her impression, Chu Kuangren was not such an easy-going person. Moreover, Fuxiâs successor might even be a potential enemy in the future.
âOh, yes I am, Lan Yu. Have you ever heard the saying that if you want to catch a big fish, you must first cast a long line?â
âMaster, do you meanâ¦â Lan Yu pondered.
âToday, Iâve cast my line using Fuxiâs guqin. One day, it will bring me all Ten Great Godly Weapons at once.â
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
âI see.â
â¦
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak somewhere, the ten Godly Weapon wielders were gathered once more.
Fuxiâs successor was holding Fuxiâs Guqin with a smile on his face.
When it came to firepower, Fuxiâs Guqin was only a Pseudo Source Supreme Treasure, and there were many weapons more powerful than it in the Immortal World.
However, it was still one of the Ten Godly Weapons.
Meanwhile, the Universal Godly Weaponsâ Ten Directions Formation would be his trump card to defeat Chu Kuangren. âChu Kuangren, the guqin you gave me today will be the tool that seals your death tomorrow!â
âAlright, now that the Ten Great Godly Weapons have been gathered. Itâs time for us to cultivate the Universal Godly Weaponsâ Ten Directions Formation,â Long Xuan said impatiently.
Fuxiâs successor looked around him to see that all Ten Great Godly Weapon wielders had arrived.
Even the Endless Sky Imperial Commander was there.
He was a young man who wore a jade crown and possessed an air of nobility. Fuxiâs successor could sense power on par with his own from the Endless Sky Imperial Commander.
âSince the Ten Great Godly Weapons are all here, letâs begin cultivating the formation technique.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fuxiâs successor released a beam of divine light, displaying the layout of the Ten Directions Formation before everyone for them to cultivate.
There was a look of excitement on everyoneâs faces.
Several months later, an incomparably powerful energy blast erupted from that mountain. Colorful Immortal Sparks flowed out and lit up the land.
The whole mountain peak was reduced to dust.
Fuxiâs successor and the others walked out amidst the Immortal Sparks, with each of them holding a Godly Weapon.
Fuxiâs successor was holding Fuxiâs Guqin, Hua Xi was holding the Nuwa Stone, the Holy Longevity Imperial Commander was holding the Kongtong Seal was held by, the Endless Sky Imperial Commander was holding the Great Heaven Tower, Long Xuan was holding the Pan Gu Axe, Xuanyuanâs successor was holding Xuanyuan Sword, Shennongâs successor was holding the Shennong Cauldron, the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden was holding the Kunlun Mirror, while the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist was holding the Eastern Sovereign Bell.
Meanwhile, Fa Hai, the newest member to join the secret plan of defeating Chu Kuangren, was holding the last weapon, the Yokai Refining Flagon.
