Chapter 379: Come Again Next Time, I’ll Devour His Life No Matter What

“Chu Kuangren!!”

Master Daoist Yun Tao was incensed.

Ethereal Rapture had made an enormous loss this time!!

Everything else aside, just that kilogram of Celestial Cores was enough to top the value of all Celestial Chalcedonies they had mined over the last few centuries.

This was without counting those four kilograms of Exquisite-tier Celestial Chalcedony!

Chu Kuangren had almost siphoned Ethereal Rapture dry!

Amongst the dozen million kilograms of mineral rocks and the entire Celestial Chalcedony mineral vein, how the hell did he manage to scour for this colossal amount of Celestial Chalcedonies?

“Good lord…”

“Throughout my very long time here, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. One kilogram of Celestial Cores? Did he mop up all the Celestial Cores in the whole Celestial Chalcedony mineral vein? This is outrageous…”

Everyone at the scene found it unbelievable.

Even if Chu Kuangren had the ability to distinguish minerals, it should have taken him at least a few months or half a year to search through such a large pile of mineral rocks and the entire mineral vein for that amount of Celestial Cores.

Yet, how long did Chu Kuangren spend?

Not even half a day, and he was out.

This was beyond the logic of just his ability to distinguish minerals. It now looked as though those Celestial Cores had grown legs and ran towards Chu Kuangren by themselves.

“How did he pull that off?”

The same question popped up in everyone’s head at this time.

Chu Kuangren did not care about what the others thought. He simply swept his hand out and deposited all these Celestial Chalcedonies inside his Yin and Yang Ring before he let out a satisfied smile.

What the crowd did not know was that he had the Treasure Locating Skill. He was able to differentiate which one of the mineral rocks had good quality Celestial Chalcedony in them.

“Since the deal here is done, I should get going then.”

Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

“Stop right there.”

“You’re not leaving.”

A few elders suddenly stepped forward and blocked Chu Kuangren’s way.

Several surges of valiant Sage Daoist Rhymes locked Chu Kuangren in his place as the few of them stared at Chu Kuangren with hostility in their eyes.

Chu Kuangren pressed his hand onto the Descendant Self Sword’s handle. He looked extremely composed and emotionless. The only thing that stood out was the ice-cold gaze from his eyes that made people shiver in fear.

“My dear Sages, are you going to go back on your promise?”

Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

Sword-based Daoist Rhyme surged outward and transformed the air around them into surges of chilly sword qi that gave everyone a piercing pain.

“You’ve taken so many of our Celestial Cores and Exquisite-tier Celestial Chalcedony. Do you think we’ll let you go just like that? No way in hell that’s happening!”

“We don’t mind the Exquisite-tier Celestial Chalcedonies, but those Celestial Cores must stay.”

The few Sages said adamantly.

For Ethereal Rapture cultivators, top-quality Celestial Chalcedonies were very important, let alone those Celestial Cores. They were hugely beneficial even to Sages, so there was no way they were going to surrender the Celestial Cores just like that.

“Brother Yun Tao, we’ve already agreed that the ten kilograms of minerals will all belong to me, no matter what kind of Celestial Chalcedony quality they were.”

“What’s the matter? Going to go back on your words now?”

Chu Kuangren ignored the few elders and stared straight at Master Daoist Yun Tao, waiting for his response.

However, the gradually increasing Sword-based Daoist Rhyme on his adversary’s body clearly signified that if Master Daoist Yun Tao were to go back on his promise, Chu Kuangren would not mind resorting to bloodshed.

Master Daoist Yun Tao had, of course, seen through his guest’s intentions. He hesitated for a while, but in the end, he took in a deep breath and ordered, “Let him leave!”

“Sect Leader!”

“We can’t lose that kilogram of Celestial Cores!”

The few elders were shocked.

“Just let him go. We’ve already reached an agreement on this. If I change my mind now, what will that say about Ethereal Rapture?!”

Master Daoist Yun Tao said.

Upon hearing what he said, the elders looked at each other.

Eventually, the elders retracted their aura unwillingly.

“Wise choice.”

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

He picked his head up and strode out under everyone’s scrutiny.

“Xue Zheng, send Brother Chu out.”

Master Daoist Yun Tao pointed at Xue Zheng in the crowd and said.

“Yes.”

Xue Zheng quickly caught up with Chu Kuangren, whom he looked at helplessly.

He now realized that the rumors from the outside world were not fake. Having Chu Kuangren over as a guest was not a good thing!

The last few orthodoxies had their Sages slain, and although Ethereal Rapture had lost so many Celestial Cores and Celestial Chalcedony this time, this little loss was still much better than having a few of their Sages dead.

“Alright, I can go on my own from here.” Chu Kuangren reached the secret realm exit of the Ethereal Rapture and said to Xue Zheng and Cai Yun whom he had met on his journey earlier.

“Brother Chu, do visit again when you’re free.”

Cai Yun said to him, somewhat reluctant to bid farewell.

‘Sigh, such a handsome man and he has to leave in less than one day. What a shame.’

“Yes, I’ll be sure to come back again when I have the time.”

Chu Kuangren replied courteously.

Xue Zheng was so shocked to hear his reply. “Ethereal Rapture’s whereabouts are always changing. It could be anywhere, whenever. Since Brother Chu doesn’t have the technique of locating it, I’m worried that you won’t be able to find it next time, so you can save yourself that trouble.”

Chu Kuangren’s current visit had almost crippled Ethereal Rapture. If he were to come back again, things would surely go way worse, right?!

“Heh, I’m going to leave then.” Chu Kuangren smiled gently.

With that, he turned around and left Ethereal Rapture.

…..

“Obtaining a kilogram of Celestial Core was very unexpected, but with that, I can now harness the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation’s power to the fullest. I wonder how it’s going on Master Qian’s side.”

Chu Kuangren thought to himself while he made his way back to the Black Heaven Sect.

There were two major elements to setting up the Astonishing Sea of Cloud Formation. The first was Celestial Chalcedony, the second being Cloudflow ore. He had now gotten one of the two.

After he returned to the Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren contacted the Four Seas Firm.

He found out that Qian Fugui had already gathered a sufficient amount of Cloudflow ore, and that they were currently being shipped to the Black Heaven Sect.

‘Now I just need to wait for the Cloudflow ore to arrive and I can then set up the Astonishing Sea of Clouds Formation,’ Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

However, before that was delivered, someone else had come knocking on his door. This person hailed from the Acheron Manor of the unknown lands!

Black Heaven Sect, in the Longevity Hall.

A black-clad cultivator stood solemnly with his arms crossed at the back. An eerie Daoist Rhyme flowed on his body.

Chu Kuangren squinted slightly when he saw this person.

The energy was familiar. He was a demonic cultivator.

On top of that, he was a Sage-level demonic cultivator.

“Greetings, I’m Blackwillow, an elder of Acheron Manor.”

Blackwillow Sage made a fist salute when he saw Chu Kuangren.

“What brings you to the Black Heaven Sect, Blackwillow Sage?”

“I’ve caught word that our empyrean walker from Acheron Manor has had a conflict with Brother Chu some time back. My trip here today is to settle that matter.” Blackwillow Sage smiled.

He took out a Yin and Yang Ring and said, “Here are one billion Top-tier soulstones. I hope Brother Chu will accept this humble offering and bury the hatchet with my people.”

“Heh. A billion Top-tier soulstones. Not bad, Acheron Manor.” Chu Kuangren looked rather amazed.

Chu Kuangren might have given an impression that a billion Top-tier soulstones was nothing to him, considering that was the amount he traded with Ethereal Rapture for Celestial Chalcedonies. However, for a sage orthodoxy, one billion Top-tier soulstones was still a lot.

Back when Chu Kuangren had won those several billions of soulstones in the First City, it was already a painful loss to the sage orthodoxies who had lost the bet.

“Since we’ve already buried the hatchet, it’s my fervent hope that Brother Chu could return us Wudao’s Yin and Yang Ring.” Blackwillow Sage continued.

“Who told you I agreed to your demands?”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly, which made Blackwillow Sage’s expression turn grim. The smile on his face gradually disappeared as well.

“Brother Chu, is this amount of soulstones still not enough?”

“It doesn’t matter how many soulstones you’re willing to offer. Yuan Wudao instigated the Underworld Palace to poison my Black Heaven Sect. There’s no way I’ll let him off the hook. Go back and tell him that I’ll devour his life no matter what! Nobody can save him now!”
