Chapter 64: Chapter 64 - The Honorable Lei Huo Gets Angry, A Legendary Skill Is Obtained, And Kuangren’s Joke

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon.

The strongest sage orthodoxies were having a discussion. First, it was about the vision of a fallen sage, but now they were thinking about the secret realm and which sage orthodoxy’s sky-pride could take charge and lead everyone.

One of the most favored candidates was from the Thunder Falcon Tribe.

“My tribe’s Lei Ao is one of the world’s eight Young Emperors. He is armed with fighting power and he could cross over to great realms for battle. In other words, he’s as powerful as the King of War himself. Who else in the Secret Realm can beat him?”

A well-known trait of the Young Emperor was the ability to cross between realms that were not small but large!

The further the realm was, the harder it was to cross over. Only those that have fought the King of War in the Paradise Realm had the right to be called Young Emperor!

Any sky-pride that entered the Secret Realm could fight the King of War, but Lei Ao had a power that rivaled him. It was a huge advantage.

It was no wonder the Thunder Falcon Tribe was so pleased.

If things went well, Lei Ao would profit the most from this.

“Perhaps the Thunder Falcon Tribe is too confident. The Black Heaven Sect’s Elder Senior Brother certainly isn’t inferior to Lei Ao,” an Honorable sage spoke up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sage was not exactly on good terms with Black Heaven Sect, but he just simply could not tolerate the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s arrogance.

“Ah, Chu Kuangren? He looks like a lad with potential, but I hope he doesn’t run into our Lei Ao or he’ll die a horrible death.”

The Honorable sage of the Thunder Falcon Tribe was extremely confident in Lei Ao.

Elder Ruyan felt irritated at those words. “Honorable Lei Huo, you believe that Lei Ao is invincible, don’t you? But remember that if he runs into Kuangren, it isn’t clear who will die, so I advise you to show some concern for Lei Ao.”

“Oh, then we shall wait and see.”

Honorable Lei Huo smiled with disdain, waiting to see a good show.

However, his smile turned into a sudden frown as his Yin and Yang Ring pulsed. It was a communication compass.

“Tribe communications, what is happening?”

“Honorable Lei Huo! Lei Ao’s life flames have been extinguished! What is happening?” A low growl came from the communication compass. Without having to see the person’s face, one could easily imagine the horrible expression on it.

Life flames represent a cultivator’s life, hence many sage orthodoxies take a drop of their disciples’ blood to keep them burning to keep them in the orthodoxy.

Once the flames went out, the cultivator’s life would end.

Many people at the scene had heard the voice from the compass.

Instantly, everyone’s faces twisted into various expressions.

Some Honorable sages were even about to laugh out loud.

Honorable Lei Huo’s face paled. He was dumbfounded as to how Lei Ao could have died?

“My lord, I- I don’t know how it happened!”

“The Young Emperor is still in the Secret Realm!” Honorable Lei Huo spluttered.

“The Secret Realm? But he’s dead!”

Honorable Lei Huo roared, “Stay there and figure out what happened! I want to know how Lei Ao died!”

He was a Young Emperor!

A Young Emperor with boundless opportunities! He was guaranteed to become an Emperor when he grew up, and if not, he would at least be a pillar for the sage orthodoxy!

It did not even matter which orthodoxy it was!

The light from the communication compass dimmed.

However, Honorable Lei Huo was still rooted in his spot, unable to process what had happened, while the other Honorable sages looked at each other playfully.

He was all proud and boastful earlier, saying that their Young Emperor was great, only for him to drop dead the next minute.

Could this get any more dramatic?

“Who did this?!”

When Honorable Lei Huo regained his senses, his face darkened.

…

At the same time, in the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon.

Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and the others explored the Secret Realm.

The realm was huge despite being runned down; after all, it was a sage’s home. So if one looked carefully, they might get lucky with elixirs, spirit mines, and more.

Chu Kuangren even ran into Li Xingchen while he was fighting some Black Death Beasts. Luckily he had rushed over at that time because if not, Li Xingchen might not have lived.

“How terrifying. To think the Secret Realm has such scary beasts. They’re on the same level as the King of War!” Li Xingchen felt some lingering fear.

“They came from the Gray Mist.”

Chu Kuangren stated.

Trapped in the Gray Mist by the Black Light Sage, the Black Death Beasts survived by feeding on the Qi of death. However, now that the Black Light Sage was dead, the domain of the Gray Mist vanished and thus released the beasts.

“Senior Chu, the Secret Realm is simply too dangerous. Would I be allowed to stay with you?” Li Xingchen smiled nervously.

“Up to you.” Chu Kuangren had no opinion.

The Secret Realm was huge and would likely take days to explore.

“Still, the Luminous Moon Sage lived alone. Why would he need such a big place all to himself?” Li Xingchen muttered.

Beside him, Chu Kuangren simply replied, “Sages are people too. People have different personalities. Some sages are content with a simple hut, while others prefer to live in luxurious palaces. There’s nothing strange about it.”

“That’s true. But this sage is indeed extraordinary. He has created such a vast area in his little realm. It’s almost half the size of White Cloud City! Impressive,” Li Xingchen said.

“Very much so.”

With that, the small group of sky-prides chatted.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren sat at the side with his eyes closed. He looked like he was resting, but he was doing his daily gacha rolls.

“Taishang Laojun, Jade Emperor, Tathāgata, any God will do. Please bless my luck for this gacha. I’m not asking for Legendary Starlight, but even some gold would be good?”

Although Chu Kuangren looked calm, he was very hopeful in his heart.

Ever since he got the Heaven Spiritual Marrow, he never had gotten any gold again. Even silver was pitifully rare.

“Dear host, congratulations! You have obtained the Magical Treasure Hunting Skill!”

“F*CK YES!”

Chu Kuangren stood up.

It was a legendary skill!

Lady luck was smiling on him today!

The group was surprised to see Chu Kuangren with a gleeful face as they had never seen him so excited before.

“Senior Chu, is something the matter?” they asked out of curiosity.

“Ahem, it’s nothing. A funny memory came to mind, that’s all.” Chu Kuangren suppressed his excitement.

“What is it, Senior Chu? Share it so that we can be happy too,” Li Xingchen prodded curiously.

“It was a joke I remembered. So, my wife called me to tell me my son was caught for setting a house on fire. I corrected her by saying, Arson.”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

Nangong Huang, Li Xingchen, and the others looked at each other.

Was it funny?

Or did they not have the same sense of humor?

“Haha! It’s so good, I can’t stop laughing! You know, our son, arson? Haha!” Chu Kuangren suddenly burst into laughter.

The rest suddenly caught on.

Their Elder Senior Brother was telling a joke, and not laughing was disrespecting him!

Laugh! They had to laugh!

“Hahaha! That was a good one!”

“Amazing, as expected of our Elder Senior Brother! It’s the funniest one I’ve ever heard! I could laugh for a whole year. Hahaha!”

“Senior Chu, you’re killing my sides!”

Chu Kuangren watched them laugh until their stomachs cramped. He was slightly stunned. Was it that funny?

He looked to Lan Yu who stood to the side. When she noticed his gaze, she forced a smile. “Hehe.”

She was a terrible actor, but if your master told a joke, you must laugh even if it killed you.
