Chapter 949: Chapter 949 - Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord, Golden Ridge Temple Hui Fa, Huoshen Xiao Got Scared

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Broken weapons, desolated scenes, dead bodies of not just humans scattered everywhere, whirling wind that sounded like the shrieks of vengeful souls… That was the place where the Immortals fall.

That was the Ancient Immortal Battlefield.

Gray mist was everywhere on the battlefield.

In fact, it was the materialization of rage qi.

Common cultivators would be easily affected by the rage qi as soon as they stepped foot in there. Without a certain level of cultivation, none could stay for a longer period of time.

Chu Kuangren and company were traversing across the battlefield.

“This is really discouraging scenery,” the Sword Crown said as he shake his head.

He raised his hand, and the rage qi in the area was dispersed easily.

After several therapy sessions, his injuries had mostly recovered, and he could use around sixty percent of his original strength. As for the rest, he could slowly recover by himself without Chu Kuangren’s healing.

Soon, he would return to his former glory, and Chu Kuangren would have an Immortal as a follower.

“Even though they were once Immortals, only bones are left on this earth when they die,” Chu Kuangren said as he gazed upon the bones on the ground.

Some of the bodies had a layer of Immortal Sparks on them, but they were way too old. Even if they were once Immortal, the slightest touch would turn them into dust.

Only a powerful Immortal could leave an indestructible body behind after death. It could even last for a century and still contain a portion of its original power.

However, such Immortals were rare.

Even in the ancient and complete Immortal World, there might only be a handful of them.

Swoosh!

Several rays of light flew above Chu Kuangren.

“It’s that direction again. I wonder what’s going on there.”

Chu Kuangren and company decided to head over for a look.

Soon, they arrived at a gathering point. The people who gathered seemed to be having a discussion.

“There’s quite a number of folks for this raid in Weeping Phantom Ridge.”

“That’s right. I heard there are countless vengeful souls there. hundreds of Immortals used to have a great battle there, so there must be a ton of treasures! If we can make it, we will definitely get something huge!”

“Lheard the Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord and the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk, Hui Fa, are leading the group. They are the two youngest elites in Planquilon Immortal World. With their help, there’s a high chance that we might make it!”

Chu Kuangren thought about something upon hearing the discussion.

Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord and the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk, Hui Fa.

They were two of the twelve Kings of the Immortal World.

Chu Kuangren became interested in the Weeping Phantom Valley and the King Immortal Progenies.

Kaboom!

At that moment, a huge saber shadow flew across the air. The saber shadow intercrossed with the Daoist pattern and released a surge of domineering energy.

Asingle strike from the saber shadow cracked the land in half.

‘When the saber shadow faded, a figure appeared.

The figure was a man in his early thirties. He wore green robes on his buff body, and his keen eyes scanned over the battlefield like an eagle, which made everyone fearful of him.

The other thing that caught people’s attention was the black saber at his back. It was huge, heavy, and still sheathed, but there were Immortal Sparks around it.

“It’s the Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord. He’s here!”

“Look at the saber on his back! That’s the legendary Heavy Heaven. Apparently, it was forged with Immortal Gold Obsidian. It’s one of the three famed sabers of Oceanic Sword Grave! Even a Heavenly Daoist Weapon is nothing compared to it!”

“Lheard the saber has the potential to ascend into an Immortal Weapon.”

The crowd was in awe at the Saber Lord’s appearance.

Chu Kuangren took an extra glance at the man while activating the Omniscient Spirit. Then, he had full insight into the man, who somehow killed his interest.

‘This is the so-called Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord?”

‘A King Immortal Progeny?”

‘Uh… That’s it?”

At the same time, golden Buddhist Light shone brightly, and the rage qi around it dispersed like snow under the sun.

Amonk in white robes appeared from the golden Buddhist Light.

The monk had a string of Buddhist beads in his hands. He looked neat and handsome, especially with the faint smile on his face that would make people love him.

However, upon closer sensing, the monk emanated an immeasurable feeling, and the Emperor qi on him felt as vast as the ocean.

‘The man was Hui Fa, the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk.

Chu Kuangren had also analyzed the monk and realized that Hui Fa was a lot stronger than the Saber Lord.

“According to the analysis, Hui Fa’s cultivation level has reached peak-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial and is already on the Immortal Path. He has ascended once as of now.” Omniscient Spirit, Lil Ai’s voice, sounded in his head.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes glimmered.

A King Immortal Progeny on the Immortal Path?

In order to ascend to an Immortal, one must first go through three disasters and nine dooms.

These trials were known as the… Immortal Path!

Once on the path, there would only be two outcomes: die trying on the Immortal Path, losing one’s life and cultivation, or ascend into an Immortal, living free with endless power.

‘There was no such thing as a Pseudo Immortal.

A Pseudo Immortal was a cultivator who had depleted his or her potential and could not ascend further.

To them, Immortals were something of a myth. Without a grand Opportunity of Fortune, they would never be able to get on the Immortal Path for the rest of their lives.

“Hey, little holy monk. It’s been a while,” Saber Lord said to Hui Fa.

“Saber Lord, you look well.”

“With so many people gathered, we will surely conquer Weeping Phantom Ridge.” Saber Lord’s gleamed.

“Conquering Weeping Phantom Ridge and purifying the vengeful souls is a meritorious deed, and I believe we will have the blessing from Buddha himself,” Hui Fa said with a smile.

“May Buddha be compassionate.”

The other monks behind Hui Fa chanted together.

The Saber Lord pouted in disdain. “I don’t mind if Buddha blesses me or not. I only believe in the saber in my hands!”

“Hehe.” Hui Fa simply chuckled, not at all bothered by what the Saber Lord said.

Several Immortal Progenies joined the raiding party afterward. There were even a few Supreme Immortal Progenies.

For example, there was Huoshen Xiao, the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Divine Bachelor whom Chu Kuangren met at Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm. Compared to their last meeting, the man’s energy felt a lot stronger than before.

He might be the strongest Supreme Immortal Progeny among them.

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Interesting. It seems like he has improved a lot in the past few days. I’m glad I spared his life.”

The weak could only hold so much value to the strong.

It is only when the weak grow stronger, the value would rise. It was the reason why Chu Kuangren spared Huoshen Xiao the other day.

He was trying to go for the long shot.

“Why do I sense a familiar energy around here…” Huoshen Xiao frowned.

He scanned the crowd and eventually spotted Chu Kuangren.

Albeit the spiritual veil covering his face, Huoshen Xiao would never mistake his presence and energy for someone else!

“[-It’s him?!” Huoshen Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

He could not help but recall what happened at the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm and how he was defeated with a single blow. It was enough to traumatize him for life.

‘As though he sensed the gaze on him, Chu Kuangren returned the favor by staring at Huoshen Xiao.

For a moment there, Huoshen Xiao’s body froze as if a great horror had taken over his body.

He swiftly averted his gaze.

“Brother Huoshen, what’s wrong?” Hui Fa asked.

Huoshen Xiao shook his head. “N-Nothing.”

He did not expose Chu Kuangren’s presence to the group because he heard several Divine Bachelors died in Chu Kuangren’s hands.

If he exposed Chu Kuangren, what should he do after that? Engage Chu Kuangren? He was no match. Flee? He would bring shame to his cult and himself. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Therefore, it was better to feign ignorance.

Baffled, Hui Fa looked in the same direction as Huoshen Xiao, and he, too, spotted Chu Kuangren.

His eyes gleamed.

“This man is… something else..”
