1699 Something Insignificant, I Donât Remember Doing Something Like That
âHaha, well done. I canât believe that I, the powerful Galaxy God King of the Central Heaven Universe, have lost to a young little cultivator.
âThere are talented individuals in every generation, with each generation surpassing the old!â
The Galaxy God King looked at Chu Kuangren impressively and laughed.
He also did not question where the space-time energy came from, but he had lost, so it did not matter anyway. The Galaxy God King gladly accepted his defeat.
!!
Following that, the Galaxy God King took out a jade scroll and handed it to Chu Kuangren. âI once said that anyone who manages to clear all the challenges will receive my cultivation techniques as a reward. This jade scroll here contains every single cultivation technique that I, the Galaxy God King, have obtained throughout the years of my travels in the Central Heaven Universe. Now, they belong to you.â
He then unleashed a palm attack into the skies.
The starry sky erupted with a boom, revealing a grand palace within it.
The palace was gilded with wonderful jewels and ornaments that radiated brilliantly and surrounded by countless mysterious runes. It was an amazing sight.
âBesides my cultivation techniques, you can also choose three items from my treasury over there,â said the Galaxy God King as he pointed at the Galactical Treasury.
Meanwhile, countless sky-prides and Prodigies in the Galaxy Ancient Path were shocked by the Galactical Treasuryâs appearance. Everyone quickly looked into the sky with excitement.
âItâs the Galaxy God Kingâs treasury!â
âThatâs right. It was said that the treasury contained mountains of treasures inside. Any one of them is enough to make one retire for life.â
âQuick, letâs check it out.â
Many cultivators disappeared in a flash as they dashed to the treasury. However, they were all held back by an invisible barrier and could not get in.
That was a God Kingâs enchanted barrier!
Those who did not have his permission could never enter.
âDamn it. Only the cultivators who get through the final nine challenges can enter to pick one item.â
âThatâs right. Weâre not qualified at all.â
Some sky-prides shook their heads sadly.
Whoosh!
Several rays of light dashed into the treasury.
They were Mo Wuji, Luo Xue, Leng Wufeng, and Chi Longying respectively.
Besides Chu Kuangren, they were the only ones who managed to get through the final nine challenges since the Ancient Path opened.
The God Kingâs barrier did not stop them and allowed them to enter.
Chu Kuangren glanced at it but did not go there right away. Instead, he looked at the Galaxy God King and asked. âWhat about your promise?â
âDonât worry. Iâm not someone who goes against his word. Since you have cleared all of the challenges here, I, the Galaxy God King, shall join the Spiritual Sword Tribe from today onward and be one of your allies,â the Galaxy God King answered with a bitter smile.
Although he still wished to continue traveling the universe, he had to respect the terms of the bet he made with the other great ones back then. If he were to break his promise, things would surely not end well for him.
âAlright.â
Chu Kuangren nodded gently.
Frankly speaking, he did not care whether the Galaxy God King would join the Spiritual Sword Tribe or not. After all, he was never a member of the Spiritual Sword Tribe, to begin with.
He then disappeared in flash and headed towards the God Kingâs treasury.
It did not take long before he reached the entrance of the treasury. At that time, Mo Wuji, Leng Wufeng, and the others just so happened to be coming out. Each of them had a satisfied smile on their face. It was obvious that they had obtained something valuable inside.
When they saw Chu Kuangren, their expressions immediately turned very grim.
It was especially true for Leng Wufeng, whose gaze was ice-cold. A surge of killing intent burst out from him. âHeavenly Sword!â
âOh, it looks like you bear some hostility towards me.â
âObviously. You better not forget what you did!â Leng Wufeng said sternly.
âIâve done so many things, so I see no need to remember everything in great detail. After all, the Heavens would never bother with insignificant matters.â
âYou killed my younger brother, Leng Jiufeng! How dare you imply itâs insignificant!â
Leng Wufeng was fuming with rage as he stared daggers at Chu Kuangren. His gaze was so intense that it was as if he was about to skin Chu Kuangren alive.
âYour younger brotherâ¦â
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before replying in a serious tone, âSorry, I donât really remember doing something like that. Maybe itâs truly an insignificant matter.â
âYou b*stard!â
A terrifying and chilling killing intent swept everywhere.
The surroundings were instantly frozen. Just when Leng Wufeng was about to attack, Mo Wuji reached out and stopped him. He said, âLet him enter the treasury first.â
Leng Wufengâs gaze flickered a little, and then he nodded.
âOh, it looks like youâll live for the time being.â
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he slowly walked into the treasury.
âMo Wuji, do you want to kill the Heavenly Sword too?â
âThatâs right.â
âYou stopped me just now because you want him to enter the treasury, right? Once he chooses his treasure and comes out, we can then kill him and take whatever item he brought out. Thatâs like killing two birds with a stone.â
âCorrect.â Mo Wuji chuckled.
After that, his gaze narrowed. âHowever, the Heavenly Swordâs strength is not to be underestimated. Iâm afraid heâs on par or, if not, more powerful than me. We must not be hasty when dealing with someone like him.â
âDonât worry. I just happened to obtain something unexpected inside the treasury. â
Leng Wufeng took out a prismatic crystal shard containing an endless blizzard. It was as if a winter world was trapped within it.
âThis is the Skysnow Shard, a priceless treasure that once belonged to the Skysnow Tribe. I thought it was forever lost from the tribe and did not expect to find it inside the treasury. With this item, even the mighty Heavenly Sword will have no choice but to surrender!â Leng Wufeng said confidently.
âInteresting. I, too, am eager to find out whether the Heavenly Sword is truly as powerful as the rumors say!â Chi Longying chuckled.
The long crimson sword in his hand trembled as if it was excited to fight.
No sword cultivator in the world would be uninterested in the Heavenly Sword. The same thing could be said for Chi Longying. Although Sword Dao was not his main Dao, he was still considered a swordsman.
While the three of them were discussing how to fight the Heavenly Sword, inside the treasury, Chu Kuangren was stunned at the sight of the seemingly endless treasure scattered everywhere. âThe Galaxy God King seemed to have collected many interesting items.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He did not intend to take everything here.
After all, he could never hide what he did from the Galaxy God King. Besides, going back on his words and acting sneakily was not his style.
âHey, youâre here as well, Heavenly Sword.â
At that time, he heard a voice that belonged to Luo Xue. She, too, was busy picking her item from this treasury.
Chu Kuangren walked toward her and realized she was having trouble choosing between two items. One of them was a sword, while the other was a broken bead. However, the broken bead was illuminating with faint Immortal Sparks and flickering runes. It seemed to contain some sort of mysterious and advanced cultivation technique inside.
âHeavenly Sword, which of these two do you think I should choose?â Luo Xue asked curiously.
Chu Kuangren did not expect her to ask him, but he replied. âYou should be the one to decide. This is your own Opportunity of Fortune, after all. I donât think I have the right to say anything about this.â
He was about to leave after saying that. However, after passing by the broken bead, he took a second look at it.
âAn interesting item indeed. Unfortunately, itâs not suitable for me.â
With that, Chu Kuangren turned around and left.
Upon noticing that, Luo Xue immediately decided to choose that broken bead. After all, if the Heavenly Sword himself was interested in that item, surely it must be something good.
Furthermore, she also sensed something within the broken bead.
âAlthough the Heavenly Sword said he wonât help me, he still ended up giving me a hint.â
Luo Xueâs eyes flickered, and a strange feeling surged from within her ice-cold heart as she watched Chu Kuangren leave.
