Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 320: The Unnamed Island In The Middle Of The Sea, One Of The Nine Great Emperor Techniques, Heart Piercing Finger

The Sky Emperor Palace’s forbidden scroll piqued Chu Kuangren’s interest a little.

So he sat with his legs crossed and began to gain insights from it.

Due to the extraordinary nature of that scroll, the Daoist Rhyme contained within it was so extremely profound that it could make anyone crazily obsessed with it.

Normally, when it came to learning cultivation techniques, there was no saying that the more profound technique one cultivated, the better it was.

There must be a certain degree of moderation when doing so.

If one were to choose a technique that was overly profound that they could not understand, they would not be able to achieve any progress even if they went at it their entire life.

The Sky Emperor Palace’s forbidden scroll was such a technique.

That technique was more profound than any other that Chu Kuangren had encountered before. If any other cultivators wanted to gain insight from it, they would stand no chance of succeeding. Besides that, that scroll also contained a lingering... evil nature within it.

Anyone who tried to gain insight from that technique would be easily attracted by how profound it was and end up trapped in a bout of obsession over it. Even Honorable Supremes would be drained of their mental energy to death, let alone cultivators with a slightly weaker Daoist core.

...

Sky Emperor Palace.

The three Sages who were watching Chu Kuangren could not help but feel delighted upon seeing him attempting to gain insights from the forbidden scroll.

“Ha, he took the bait.”

“Let’s see what he’s going to do now.”

“How greedy of you, Chu Kuangren. You clearly know that it’s a forbidden technique, yet you still want to comprehend it. You’re doomed to fall on your arrogance today.”

Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang laughed out loud. He could not wait to see the helpless look on Chu Kuangren’s face when he would encounter a setback.

As time went by, two hours soon passed.

Chu Kuangren was still on the top floor, gaining insights from that scroll.

The three Sages were sure that he was too deep in it to pull himself out.

“Even an Honorable Supreme will die from mental exhaustion if he studies this scroll for three days. Despite how terrifying Chu Kuangren’s strength is, which is comparable to a Sage, he can only last ten days at most.”

“If he cannot break free from the profound mystery in the scroll within ten days, he’ll die of mental exhaustion.” Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang chuckled.

Four hours soon passed.

There was still no news from Chu Kuangren.

Six hours, eight hours, and ten hours eventually passed.

Just as Chu Kuangren was comprehending the Sky Emperor Palace’s forbidden scroll, numerous ripples suddenly appeared somewhere above the sea in Firmament Star.

Then, a gigantic island appeared out of thin air.

A bright colorful light suddenly shot up into the sky, and an immensely dense surge of Daoist Rhyme swept out in all directions.

At that moment, all the Sages of the Firmament Star could sense it.

“This burst of Daoist Rhyme... contains an Emperor’s Aura!”

“It came from the sea.”

“A never-before-seen island? It’s brimming with an Emperor’s Aura as well. Could this be the island that an Emperor once lived?”

“According to the ancient archives, there are only a handful of Emperors who lived at the sea. Is it the White-Robed Emperor, Willowgrace Emperor, or the Cerulean Emperor?”

“There’s certainly a great Opportunity of Fortune on that island!”

“Quickly, send some of our men to scout the island.”

The appearance of the unnamed island caused a stir throughout the whole Firmament Star. Multiple streaks of light zoomed toward the sea.

Among them, the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands were the first to notice it. They immediately sent their men to seal up that island, seemingly intending to take all the Opportunity of Fortune on that island for themselves.

This created a big dispute between them and the four domains’ sage orthodoxies.

Inside the Sky Emperor Palace, the Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang too knew that an unnamed island, which was suspected that an Emperor once lived there, had appeared out of thin air.

So, they too decided to hurry over and check it out. After all, any Sage would be attracted to the Opportunity of Fortunes that were related to the Emperors.

“What shall we do with Chu Kuangren then?”

A Sky Emperor Palace Sage suddenly asked.

“One of us should be here to watch over him.”

“If that’s the case, who’s the one that’ll stay?”

The three Sages looked at each other.

None of them were willing to miss out on an Opportunity of Fortune that was related to the Emperors.

“Why don’t we decide with... rock, paper, scissors?”

One of the Sages suggested.

The other Sages rolled their eyes, thinking that he must be out of his mind to decide such an important matter with a mere game of rock, paper, scissors.

Just when the three of them were deliberating, an incomparably terrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme which contained a certain Emperor’s Aura suddenly swept out from the Sky Emperor Palace.

“What’s going on?”

“This aura, it’s... Chu Kuangren?”

The faces of those three turned grim as they disappeared. When they arrived at the top of the pavilion, they were surprised to see a cross-legged Chu Kuangren.

“This surge of Daoist Rhyme is exactly the same as the one from that scroll!”

“Has he really gained insights into the technique in that scroll?”

“That’s impossible!”

Chu Kuangren slowly opened his eyes.

He stood up and raised his fair arm, slowly pointing his finger toward the void. Then, a burst of finger strength shot through the air!

The finger strength formed into a gigantic finger which pierced into the sea of clouds.

In an instant, the surrounding void rumbled and the sea of clouds shattered!

All three Sages could feel an inexplicable fear from that finger attack. In fact, they were incredibly shocked.

That burst finger strength was not aimed towards them at all!

If they were to the target, how terrifying would that be?

The three of them dared not imagine.

“I can’t believe he has gained insight into the technique on the scroll. Seeing that an Emperor’s Aura was contained within his attack earlier, this is an Emperor Technique!”

“By the heavens, how did he do it?”

Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang was confused.

The Sky Emperor Palace had possessed that scroll for such a long time, yet no one was able to learn anything from it until now.

There was a large group of cultivators who had died trying to learn from that scroll.

Even someone like the Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang was almost trapped in it.

However, the technique on the scroll was not learned by a cultivator who was from the Sky Emperor Palace!

That very fact made him feel extremely upset since it seemed as if the scroll was prepared specially for Chu Kuangren, and they were just merely keeping it safe for him. He was not charged with the storage fee too!

Besides that, countless cultivators had lost their lives too.

Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang’s expression kept changing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. It was as if a mountain was weighing upon his chest, and he immediately coughed up blood.

“Sage Zhang!”

“Steady your Daoist core, quickly. Forget about everything else.”

Beside him, the expression of the two Sages changed as they hurriedly advised him.

They could understand what Sage Zhang was feeling since they too had the urge to cough up blood themselves, let alone him.

“If I knew something like this would happen, I would’ve never placed that scroll there. We gave an Emperor Technique away to Chu Kuangren for free!”

Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang turned pale as he spoke through gritted teeth.

He was too enraged!

His original intention was to trouble Chu Kuangren, but he did not expect to go for wool and came home shorn instead. He had enabled Chu Kuangren to receive such a valuable treasure so effortlessly!

The other two Sages smiled bitterly at each other.

“There’s no need to blame yourself over this. Who would’ve thought that he could gain insights on the technique on that scroll? We can’t try to understand this person by common sense alone.”

“Indeed.”

Inside the pavilion tower.

Chu Kuangren chuckled as he looked at the scroll in his hand.

“Heart Piercing Finger, huh? This is a splendid Emperor Technique!”

“Besides, this Emperor Technique is but one-ninth of another technique. This means that there are eight more copies of this scroll but with a different Emperor Technique inscribed on each of them. When all nine Emperor Techniques are combined, the true form of this mysterious technique shall be revealed!” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

That was the information he obtained upon gaining insight into the Heart Piercing Finger Technique.

The Emperor Technique was already the strongest technique to ever exist in the Firmament Star, so it was hard to even imagine the level of technique that would emerge should the nine Emperor Techniques be combined.

Would it be related to the ethereal Immortals?

Chu Kuangren secretly noted down everything about that. He intended to watch out for the whereabouts of the other scrolls in the future.
