Gu Changge Was Nothing to Fear, Heavenly Spirit Marrow

"How did it go? Did the Daoist Disciple say anything?"

Junyi, Zhuo Han, and the other Daoist Disciples knew Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang had gone to Ling Tian Dao Palace to ask how Chu Kuangren would deal with Gu Changge. Upon learning that the two had returned, they immediately rushed over to ask.

"Senior Brother said Gu Changge... was nothing to fear!"

Junyi and the others looked utterly astonished.

After all, Gu Changge had defeated four Saintly Dao Traditions and eight Eight Daoist Seeds in succession. In the minds of many of his peers, he already carried the bearing of someone invincible in his generation.

Yet in Chu Kuangren's words, he was nothing to fear!

Everyone was shocked.

Then Zhuo Han burst out laughing. "That's our Senior Brother for you! Gu Changge defeated eight Daoist Disciples in succession, his invincible bearing shaking the Azure Dragon Domain, yet in our Senior Brother's eyes, he's nothing to fear!"

"What dominance!"

"Exactly! Senior Brother truly is mighty!"

Gradually, the words "Gu Changge is nothing to fear" spread throughout the Mystic Heaven Sect. Countless disciples knew that Chu Kuangren had said them.

Gu Changge's exploits of defeating eight Eight Daoist Seeds in succession to forge an invincible heart had long since spread. Many disciples knew he would come to the Mystic Heaven Sect sooner or later, and they could not help feeling apprehensive.

But now, a single statement from Chu Kuangren had encouraged everyone.

"Senior Brother really is incredible. Gu Changge is nothing to fear-only someone like Senior Brother could say that."

"Gu Changge defeated the Daoist Disciples of four Saintly Dao Traditions in succession, displaying his might on every side. Yet to our Senior Brother, he's merely nothing to fear."

"Badass!"

"I'm just waiting to see how Senior Brother defeats Gu Changge."

"Senior Brother is so commanding. I love it!"

Discussions sprang up throughout the Mystic Heaven Sect.

They even reached the ears of some senior elders. Elder Ruyan said, "As expected of our Mystic Heaven Sect's chief disciple. What spirit!"

Venerable Xuanqi declared even more proudly, "My disciple Kuangren has the makings of a Great Emperor. What is a mere Gu Changge worth mentioning?"

Before, they might not have trusted Chu Kuangren so much.

But things were different now.

Ever since Chu Kuangren had created a Sage King Law in the library, he had not only become like a god in the disciples' hearts, but had also been marked in the elders' eyes as invincible among his generation, with the makings of a Great Emperor.

Everyone would give his words a measure of belief from the outset.

"Young Master, not just the disciples, but the sect leader and all the elders support you too. You have to do your best and defeat Gu Changge."

Xiao Bing waved her little fists, cheering Chu Kuangren on.

After hearing what she said, Chu Kuangren looked completely bewildered.

Gu Changge was nothing to fear?

When had I ever said that?

Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, just what did you two imagine?

And never mind the disciples joining in this nonsense, but Master and the elders, what are you getting involved for? Such spirit? My disciple has the makings of a Great Emperor? Hearing those words made him want to cover his face.

He was only a Golden Core right now!

"Xiao Bing, leave me for a while."

Chu Kuangren waved his hand. He wanted some peace and quiet alone.

"I understand. Young Master, you want to conserve your strength and face Gu Changge in your best condition, right? Don't worry. I won't let anyone disturb you," Xiao Bing said with an expression that proclaimed she understood everything.

Then she walked out of the room. Before closing the door, she clenched her fist and made an encouraging gesture at Chu Kuangren.

Sitting on his bed, Chu Kuangren sighed helplessly. "How is every single one of them so good at making things up in their heads? Why don't they write novels?"

He summoned the Fantasy Roulette and began today's draw.

Congratulations, host! You have drawn a gold-grade item: one bottle of heavenly spirit marrow!

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up. "Another gold-grade item, and heavenly spirit marrow at that! Looks like my luck is pretty good today!"

Spiritual Marrow was a liquid containing pure spiritual qi. It was far superior to spirit stones and the like, and was divided into four grades: heaven, earth, profound, and yellow.

Heavenly Spiritual Marrow was the highest grade of Spiritual Marrow, possessing all manner of wondrous effects, including improving cultivation, purifying spiritual power, and cleansing the meridians and marrow.

In the outside world, a single drop of heavenly spirit marrow was enough to make a great many cultivators fight until their heads split and blood flowed. Yet Chu Kuangren now had an entire bottle!

"Retrieve the heavenly spirit marrow," Chu Kuangren said.

Instantly, a palm-sized blue-green jade bottle appeared in his hand, filled with golden heavenly spirit marrow.

"With this Spiritual Marrow's help, I'll definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm quickly. Then I should have some confidence in dealing with Gu Changge."

Chu Kuangren murmured.

He acted as soon as the thought struck him, immediately entering seclusion.

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

The entire Azure Dragon Domain shook at the name Gu Changge.

News that Gu Changge had left the royal capital and defeated four Saintly Dao Traditions and eight Eight Daoist Seeds in succession spread throughout the world, sending countless factions and cultivators into an uproar.

There were eight Saintly Dao Traditions in the Azure Dragon Domain.

The Qingyun Dynasty, Ziyang Valley, the Wanfa Sect, Taixu Temple, the Lingxu Sect, the Wuxing Sect, Thunderclap Temple, the White Lotus Sect, and the Mystic Heaven Sect.

Excluding the Qingyun Dynasty, Gu Changge had already challenged the first four Saintly Dao Traditions, and all had fallen at his hands.

Now, everyone in the world had their eyes on the remaining three Saintly Dao Traditions, wanting to see whether anyone could halt Gu Changge's invincible momentum. If no one could, Gu Changge would lead them all on this era's Emperor Road!

Clouds and mist wreathed a towering mountain peak.

Amid the mist, buildings stood packed like scales on a fish or teeth on a comb, nestled against the mountain and beside the water. A closer look revealed that most enshrined statues of Buddhas.

This was a temple.

It was the largest temple in the world, the one no one dared provoke.

The Saintly Dao Tradition, Thunderclap Temple.

Today, a deep, resonant bell rang through Thunderclap Temple.

Outside the temple gates.

Six divine steeds covered in golden scales came flying over, pulling a resplendent carriage, then stopped before the temple gates.

The carriage curtain lifted, and a man in golden robes stepped out. With sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, he looked straight at Thunderclap Temple's gates.

This man was none other than Gu Changge, whose fame was now unsurpassed!

"Thunderclap Temple, I have arrived."

Gu Changge murmured.

An unparalleled fighting spirit suddenly erupted in his eyes. His spiritual power seethed and swirled around him, accompanied by the faint sound of a dragon's roar.

"Once I defeat the Daoist Disciples of the three remaining traditions-Thunderclap Temple, the White Lotus Sect, and the Mystic Heaven Sect-I will forge an invincible heart!"

"On the Emperor Road, I will be one great step ahead of everyone else!"

A keen light flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

"Crown Prince, you must not be careless."

An aged voice came from the void, seemingly reminding Gu Changge, "Crouching tigers and hidden dragons dwell within the Saintly Dao Traditions. Moreover, a Supreme Dao Body appeared in the Mystic Heaven Sect some days ago. That warrants attention."

"A Supreme Dao Body? I did indeed sense something a few days ago. Once I defeat Thunderclap Temple and the White Lotus Sect, I'll go to the Mystic Heaven Sect and personally test that so-called Supreme Dao Body!" Gu Changge said firmly.

With that, he looked straight at Thunderclap Temple and called out, "I have come to pay a visit! Eminent monks, please show yourselves!"

Waves of sound rolled outward. A contest was inevitable.

The next day.

The six divine steeds pulled the golden carriage away from Thunderclap Temple, and news spread that two of the temple's Daoist Disciples had fallen to Gu Changge.

Then, in less than three days.

The White Lotus Sect's Holy Son also fell at Gu Changge's hands.

For a time, Gu Changge's prestige reached its absolute peak!

Of the eight Saintly Dao Traditions, the Daoist Disciples and Holy Sons of six had fallen to the Qingyun Crown Prince. In a roundabout way, this indicated that those traditions had all lost to the Qingyun Dynasty.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the last remaining Mystic Heaven Sect.
