Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 164: You Are Threatening Me, First Usage Of The Soul Retriever

“I never thought that you are an Alchemy Grandmaster too, Brother Chu. You are truly a man with many talents.” King Qian walked up to Chu Kuangren and said.

The group of cultivators who were behind King Qian surrounded Chu Kuangren and saluted him too.

“Not only does Brother Chu have extraordinary talent, but you also know how to refine pills. You are truly incredible. I humbly admire your greatness.”

“Yes, even an old guy like me only knew a little alchemy. As compared to Brother Chu, I am really just a nobody who has never seen better. I expose myself to ridicule.”

“Brother Chu, I have a daughter at home who is currently twenty years of age. She is a great admirer of yours. May I kindly set up an arrangement between you two?”

All the cultivators who were there could not stop talking.

Some of them even began to introduce their own daughters.

King Qian stared at the group of cultivators with disgust. ‘These people knew no embarrassment. They just don’t know how to restrain themselves!’

“Brother Chu, I too have a daughter. She is accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Do you need me to call her over to be in your company?”

King Qian smiled at him.

The crowd of cultivators was speechless.

It was not their fault that they reacted that way as the abilities that Chu Kuangren had showcased were simply too remarkable.

Forget his combat strength, but just the usefulness of his alchemic abilities alone, who could assure that they would never be down with a headache or a fever?

Who could assure that they would never descend into Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five?

Chu Kuangren’s ability as an Alchemy Grandmaster was just too valuable. As long as he would agree, he could very well be capable of prolonging the lives of most cultivators!

Nobody would dare offend Chu Kuangren based on that fact alone, even if he could not defend himself. On the contrary, there were many who wished to get in his good books.

Facing the zealous King Qian and the crowd of cultivators, Chu Kuangren kept a smile on his face, then proceeded to deal with them one after another.

After a while, he looked at Li Xingchen who was standing beside him. “Brother Li, you have contributed a lot to our demonic extermination yesterday. Thank you for that.”

“You’re welcome, I did what I had to. On the other hand, you’ve given us quite a huge surprise today, Brother Chu. Who knew that you also have your ways around alchemy.”

“Haha, can’t survive in this competitive world without a skill or two, can we?”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

“I can’t say I disagree, Brother Chu,” Li Xingchen said.

Chu Kuangren looked at Li Xingchen with an eyebrow slightly raised. He felt that something was amiss about Li Xingchen today, but he could not tell what it was.

So he activated his spiritual thought and activated his Eye of Revelation.

However, this one closer look instantly shook him.

“Eternal Sage King, currently in a walked-in status; fifty thousand years ago, after his original flesh and body were destroyed, he remained in this world in the form of a Remnant Spirit; cultivates the Eternal Soul Transference Technique...”

“Li Xingchen; soul currently in a deep slumber...”

All the information about the Eternal Sage King appeared and flashed past his visual field.

As for Li Xingchen, all he got was his current state of deep slumber.

Nonetheless, the fact that he was not dead yet made Chu Kuangren breathe a sigh of relief. He maintained his calm as he continued to say, “Brother Li, why don’t we go out for a walk?”

“How could I reject Brother Chu’s invitation? Let’s go.”

The two of them exited the side hall and started their leisurely stroll inside the Royal Palace.

Along the way, they walked past several maids who all bowed when they saw Chu Kuangren and Li Xingchen, looking extremely courteous and eye-pleasing.

“Greetings, Master Chu, and Master Li.”

“Yes.”

After another pair of maids had passed by, Chu Kuangren started to speak, “Brother Li, I feel that you have changed. You don’t even look at the girls anymore.”

When Li Xingchen heard that, his heart sank.

Only then did he remember that Li Xingchen was a man who was easily attracted to pretty faces. He would normally take a few looks at the people he finds pleasant to his eye.

However, now that there were so many beautiful palace maids in the Royal Palace, he had not even given any of them a second look. Could this have raised Chu Kuangren’s suspicion?

“Don’t be silly, Brother Chu. When it comes to good looks, you’re the one who is a level above us all. With you here, how would I dare look at anyone else here.”

Li Xingchen tried to patch up the awkwardness by laughing it off.

“What you just said made me feel rather awkward.”

Chu Kuangren gave Li Xingchen a weird glance.

“Oh, don’t worry, Brother Chu. Don’t misunderstand me. I have no such desires towards the same sex.”

The two of them, along with Lan Yu, walked all the way until they reached a garden. After checking that there was nobody around, Chu Kuangren asked, “That was indeed a great battle last night. The demonic cultivators came here for the demonic heart, but unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. Who do you think has it now?”

“How would I know?”

“Oh, but the demonic heart is pumping inside your body right now, don’t you know?”

When Li Xingchen heard of that, he was dumbfounded.

How did Chu Kuangren know that he had the demonic heart inside his body?

“Brother Chu, I never intended to lie to you, but the circumstances surrounding this demonic heart are just way too important to be taken lightly. I was worried that you would think I have strayed into the demonic ways. I couldn’t think of a better way to inform you about this, so I hid the truth from you,” Li Xingchen hastily explained himself.

“That’s enough. Stop pretending, Eternal Sage King!”

Chu Kuangren skipped straight to the endgame. He kindled his spiritual thought, and by then, the Battle Monarch Domain was already locked onto Li Xingchen’s body, suppressing any of his control.

It worked even for a Sage Ruler. Besides, he was in the form of a Remnant Spirit, so even after he had walked-in on Li Xingchen, Chu Kuangren’s Domain still made him feel immensely pressured. He felt like his whole body was trapped in quicksand, and he found it hard to make any movements.

The pressure that came from the Domain was, however, incomparable to the pressure that he was currently feeling in his heart. Eternal Sage King looked at Chu Kuangren with a face full of bewilderment. He had no idea how Chu Kuangren had managed to see through his real identity.

He had only just finished the walk-in last night!

How did his cover get blown today?

It was just too fast!

“Brother Chu, what are you saying, why would I...”

Li Xingchen, no, Eternal Sage King was about to say more, but the energy from that Domain started increasing, pinning him onto the ground.

“Get the hell out of Li Xingchen’s body!”

Chu Kuangren demanded firmly.

Deep down, Eternal Sage King felt extremely frustrated. As a mighty Sage Ruler, he had never once bowed down to anyone, what more like this situation now where he was down on all fours like a dog in front of someone.

Although he could not grasp his head around how Chu Kuangren had done it, he knew very well that the fact that Chu Kuangren was so adamant must mean that he had indeed seen through his actual identity.

“Chu Kuangren, you best be careful. This body still belongs to Li Xingchen, and I am currently one with him, inseparable. If I die, he would have to die too!” Eternal Sage King warned him in an evil tone.

“Oh, you’re threatening me now?”

“Hmph, and what’s wrong with that? Not like you can do anything to me now. I may not know how you managed to see through my identity, but I do know one thing, that if you want Li Xingchen to live, you best let me off the hook.” Eternal Sage King let out a cold sneer.

The Eternal Soul Transference Technique was extremely powerful. His Remnant Spirit was attached inside Li Xingchen’s body which also integrated with the demonic heart that originally belonged to him. The soul and the physical body were combined flawlessly, and none could separate the two.

“Just nice, I can experiment this thing on you.”

The item in Chu Kuangren’s hand let out a bright flash. Suddenly, a pitch-black chain appeared, from which a type of ominous energy was emitted.

This dark energy made Eternal Sage King worry, and he started to feel unsafe.

“What is this?” Eternal Sage King asked anxiously.

Chu Kuangren did not give him an answer. Instead, he tossed out the part of the chain with a hook. The hook was seen turning invisible as it penetrated into Eternal Sage King’s heart right away.

At that moment, Eternal Sage King began to look extremely terrified. “What are you doing?”

His Remnant Spirit began to quiver uncontrollably as if it had just encountered a fierce predator.

“Tsk, come on out now!” Chu Kuangren scoffed and then forcefully pulled on the chain. The chain flung out from within Li Xingchen’s body, and at the same time, extracted a white-haired elder in grey robes.

This elder was hooked tightly onto the hook on the metal chain until it was stuck and unable to move. It was the Eternal Sage King’s Remnant Spirit!

“No way... How is this possible...”
