Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 198 Placing The Sword Gauntlet, Murong Xuans Fury, Chu Kuangrens Ambition

Chapter 198: Placing The Sword Gauntlet, Murong Xuan’s Fury, Chu Kuangren’s Ambition
After Chu Kuangren self-created the Sage Techniques, he went to one of the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain peaks. This mountain peak had a very high altitude, and from this spot, he had a bird’s eye view of the whole mountain range.
“This spot is it.” Chu Kuangren nodded to himself before he took out a tiny tower. It was precisely the Sword Gauntlet that he had obtained from the Hidden Sword Canyon.
He then tossed the Sword Gauntlet out.
The Sword Gauntlet expanded with the breeze, rapidly growing bigger.
Very soon, a very tall tower appeared on the mountaintop and a gush of sword qi surged into the clouds, causing them to twirl and tumble.
Deep within the Black Heaven Sect, the few forefathers could not help but feel shocked.
“What else is this little guy up to?”
“I shall wait and see if he can bring any more surprises to the table.”
“Hey, that’s the Sword Gauntlet.”
Just then, Black Heaven’s Third Forefather exclaimed.
“Sword Gauntlet, the Sword Gauntlet from the Hidden Sword Canyon!”
“What is he trying to do by taking this out?”
All they saw was Chu Kuangren placing the Sword Gauntlet atop the mountain. A gush of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme emanated from it and it attracted the attention of many disciples.
“The Sword Gauntlet can be used for cultivation training purposes. From today on, every disciple is granted access into this Sword Gauntlet to test out your cultivation bases.”
Chu Kuangren announced to all the disciples who had rushed there.
The crowd was very curious about this Sword Gauntlet. A True Disciple walked out and asked, “Sect Leader, may I enter now and give it a go?”
“Of course.”
That True Disciple walked into the Sword Gauntlet excitedly.
The crowd saw the bright spark which belonged to him appear on the first floor.
Before long, he had climbed up to the eleventh floor.
After that, he was transported out of it, his face visibly defeated. Nevertheless, there was a gleam of joy in his eyes. “Sect Leader, this Sword Gauntlet is truly magical. Not only does it challenge our Daoist core, but it could also test out our combat strength!”
“From today onwards, feel free to come back here anytime you wish.”
Chu Kuangren let out a faint smile as he said.
To suit the common strengths of these disciples, Chu Kuangren had made some modifications to the Sword Gauntlet. For instance, he removed the invisible barriers from the first to the twentieth floor and swapped them with the faceless warrior.
On the first floor, the faceless warrior was used to test out their combat strength. On the second floor, the illusions were used to challenge their Daoist core. On the third floor, their combat strength would be tested again, then the fourth floor would challenge the Daoist core… As they went up the floors, the difficulty would increase along with it.
However, he did not make any changes to the forty-eighth floor and the fiftieth floor.
For those who wished to pass those floors, it remained insurmountable.
“I want to go in and try as well.”
“Me too.”
“Let’s go together.”
The group of disciples was extremely enthusiastic as they rushed inside the Sword Gauntlet one after another.
However, besides the True Disciple who made it above the tenth floor, the rest of the outer disciples were mostly stopped below the tenth floor.
“With this Sword Gauntlet, the disciples could test out their abilities at any given time. Since it could also challenge their Daoist core, this will kill two birds with one stone.”
“Even to climb up to a higher floor, those disciples would have to put in extra effort in their cultivation so this creates a healthy competitive environment amongst them.”
“Yes, very good.”
Chu Kuangren nodded his head satisfyingly.
The biggest Opportunity of Fortune within this Sword Gauntlet, which was the inheritance from Mindful Emperor, had already been obtained by him, so this Sword Gauntlet really had no other use if it remained with him. Hence, he thought it was a better idea to take it out and let the disciples test their cultivation.
The few forefathers of the Black Heaven Sect naturally understood what Chu Kuangren wanted to achieve here.
The few of them could not help but admire.
“First, the Sage Techniques, and now, this Sword Gauntlet. These two moves he made are of great significance to the Black Heaven Sect,” Third Forefather said.
“That’s right.”
“Letting him succeed as the Sect Leader was indeed a correct decision.”
Honorable Xuan Qi smiled delightedly.
…
Black Heaven Sect, outside the mountain’s entrance.
A group of boulders was suddenly burst open, and a middle-aged man whose head and face were filthy with grime walked out from it. A confused look was all over his face.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
After quite a while, the middle-aged man jolted his head from left to right, his eyes slowly regaining clarity. Then, he uttered a curse word, “Godd*mn it!”
“I can’t believe that Chu Kuangren was so powerful! One sword. One single sword strike and he managed to knock me unconscious. Oh yeah, I wonder how long that has been?”
This middle-aged man was the guy whom Chu Kuangren had knocked out, Murong Feng.
“You’ve passed out for about two days and one night.”
Just then, a voice was heard from beside Murong Feng.
He turned around to have a look, with which his expressions changed. He immediately let out a light scoff, “Murong Xuan, what are you doing here?”
Murong Xuan replied calmly, “If it wasn’t for my timely arrival, you would’ve been devoured by the beast long ago. Speaking of which, I think you owe me a thank you.”
“So, all these years, you’ve been in the Black Heaven Sect all along?”
Murong Feng switched the topic.
“Yes.”
“No wonder I couldn’t find you.”
“Pft, why were you looking for me? To bring me back to the Murong clan to continue getting humiliated by Murong Yu and his gang?” Murong Xuan scoffed.
Murong Feng’s eyebrow was slightly raised. “The acts of Murong Yu and the others were wrong, but at the end of the day, you’re still part of the Murong clan. You know that this is an undeniable fact.”
“You can cut this crap of yours. The Murong clan has never considered me as one of their own. Just take my own father for example. Never once has he asked about my whereabouts. Otherwise, how else would Murong Yu and his gang act so lawlessly.”
At the mention of this, a hint of despair flashed across Murong Xuan’s eyes.
“Black Heaven Sect is my home now. I know the purpose of your journey here this time is to bring me home, but I won’t go back with you.”
“Murong Xuan, you do know that the Murong clan’s clan try-outs would be held very soon,” Murong Feng said.
“That has nothing to do with me.”
“Then even your mother has nothing to do with you?”
“What are you trying to get at?” Murong Xuan’s gaze turned cold.
“After the clan try-outs, we will worship our ancestors, but your mother’s identity has always been a matter of controversy amongst the clan. There are even rumors that after this time’s clan try-outs, the elders have plans to move your mother out of the clan tomb.”
Boom!
A violent sword qi abruptly erupted from Murong Xuan’s body. The trees and flowers around him were all scorched by the heat of his fury and they instantly reduced into ashes.
“My mother is already dead, so why disturb her from resting in peace! Do you guys really want to bother my mother even when she’s six feet under?!!”
Murong Xuan yelled, his both eyes filled red with rage.
The flames of his anger had nearly engulfed his logic and reasoning completely!
The clan tomb was a resting place for the ancestors of the Murong clan. Murong Xuan’s mother, as one of the wives of the family head, was also buried there after she had passed.
“If you want your mother to rest in peace, I see only one way! And that is to follow me back and get a top placing in the clan-tryout, so you can let the few elders see your potential, then they won’t do anything towards your late mother,” Murong Feng explained calmly.
“Why are you helping me?”
“You are a talent, and I can’t bear watching you cut ties with the Murong clan. Come back to the Murong clan. This is a good thing for both you and the clan.”
“Returning to the Murong clan is out of the equation, but for the clan-tryout this time, I will be there. I will never allow them to do such a thing to my mother.”
Murong Xuan said in a cold voice.
….
Inside the Towering Heaven Palace.
Chu Kuangren was cultivating at this moment in time.
He had long achieved the Perfected Battle Monarch Realm back at the Hidden Sword Canyon, and he was only one step away from the Honorable Realm.
In fact, he could choose to step over there anytime he wanted.
Nevertheless, he did not do so as he had been accumulating his wisdom all this while.
Even without breaking through it, he could still slay Honorable Supremes. Moreover, if he wanted to break through, he must first shape that Supreme Honorable Foundation Level!
The root foundation of the Honorable Realm did not solely depend on spiritual power. In fact, it would also require apprehension of Dao Techniques too.
As for the latter, Chu Kuangren was not lacking in that department as even a normal Sage would not have a Dao Techniques Realm like his. The only thing he lacked was the former.
“I have the Five Supreme Foundation Levels and the incantation of the Golden Jade Body in my body, so the sheer enormity of my spiritual power is incomparable even for an Honorable Supreme. Despite that, I’m still a little bit behind from amassing the Supreme Honorable Foundation Level.”
“No wonder in this last hundred and fifty thousand years of age, nobody has been able to amass the Supreme Honorable Foundation Level. If it was already this hard for the Honorable Realm, then how hard would it be when it comes to the Supreme Sage Foundation Level?!”
Chu Kuangren mumbled under his breath.
He had great ambitions. Not only did he want to amass the Supreme Honorable Foundation Level, but he also aimed to work towards the Supreme Sage Foundation Level.
