Chapter 980 - Cloud Nine Insignia Resonance, One Strike At The Dragon Bachelor, I Am Your Master
A golden-haired elderly suddenly appeared behind Jin Yi followed by a powerful Immortal aura that swept across the land.
The crowd was shocked by his arrival, even the Guqin Crown had a gloomy look on her face.
“It seems like the Divine Dragon Island came prepared.”
“It is imperative that we get the Cloud Nine Insignia,” the golden-haired elderly said coldly. “It depends whether the Divine Dragon Island has what it takes to take it away from me,” the Guqin Crown answered with a hmph.
The Cloud Nine Insignia was her favorite. She could devote herself to finding a true master for the guqin, but she could not bear watching others snatching it by force.
The energy of the Dragon Immortal and the Guqin Crown clashed, unleashing a horrifying aura around the field that sent the guqin masters and cultivators flying. “Holy moly. The Cloud Nine Banquet is turning into a battle between Immortals!”
“Things are getting interesting.” The Guqin Crown and the golden-haired elderly disappeared from the spot and clashed in the air, where a loud explosion followed.
A guqin appeared in the Guqin Crown’s hands.
She struck the strings with her slender fingers, blasting out guqin music.
The Dragon Immortal bellowed and swung his hands in a flurry. Waves of terrifying Dragon qi erupted one after another and tore the soundwaves into nothing. The battle between Immortals was unlike anything else.
Their aura enveloped heaven and earth.
On the other hand, Jin Yin reached out to the Cloud Nine Insignia since the Guqin Crown was engaged.
This time, no one would be able to stop him.
However, guqin strings suddenly appeared out of the void and stopped him.
“This is the restriction seal from the Guqin Crown? Hmph! An Immortal might be powerful, but this was set up in a hurry. How powerful could it possibly be? It’s a futile effort,” Jin Yi said with a grunt.
Dragon qi erupted and transformed into a giant dragon claw.
The restriction seals trembled, but they held up against the attack.
Jin Yi narrowed his eyes. “Oh, it seems like I have underestimated you, Guqin Crown, but this is it.”
He pulled out his golden spear with Immortal Sparks around it, which was obviously an Immortal Weapon.
“Break!”
Jin Yi thrust the spear at the restriction seals. Given its status as an Immortal Weapon, the strike successfully broke the seals.
“Qin Feng, lend me a hand and stop him!” Shang Chanjuan said to Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng looked hesitant as he said, “Don’t waste your energy. We are no match for him. The Cloud Nine Insignia is useless to us anyway. Just let him take it.”
Shang Chanjuan widened her eyes in disbelief. “Qin Feng, the Cloud Nine Insignia is the teacher’s favorite guqin. Are you just going to stand and watch that bastard snatch it away? You are bringing shame to the teacher’s name by not doing anything! “Fine. If you won’t do anything, I’ll do it myself!”
Shang Chanjuan attacked again.
With a grunt, Jin Yi released a blast of Dragon qi and sent her flying.
“Know your limits,” Qin Feng said with a shake of his head.
The other disciples of the manor could not help but frown at the situation.
Although Shang Chanjuan was no match for Jin Yi, she was once a member of Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.
As the eminent disciple of Cloud Nine Insignia Manor, not only did Qin Feng do nothing, but he even teased and mocked Shang Chanjuan.
Was the man really the Elder Senior Brother they knew?
His reaction was disappointing.
Bang! Bang!
Several restriction seals were broken.
“Finally.”
Just when Jin Yi tried to put his hand on the Cloud Nine Insignia, the ancient Immortal guqin shook and made a loud noise.
As its strings tremble, a powerful soundwave erupted! Dealing with the brunt of the soundwave, Jin Yi was blasted away.
The scene left everyone in awe.
Even the Guqin Crown and the Dragon Immortal were forced to pause their fight and look at the Cloud Nine Insignia in shock.
The Immortal guqin then floated up in the air. Immortal Sparks sparkled brightly as a tremendous aura of an Immortal Weapon emanated outward like a torrential wave.
“The Cloud Nine Insignia… sounded?”
Guqin Master Tian Yue was shocked.
Everyone else shared the same look on their faces.
The ancient Immortal guqin that has never released a sound finally sounded!
“What’s going on? Why is it sounding?”
“No one is playing it!”
“Can anyone tell me what’s going on?”
“Look! Look at that person!”
At that moment, one of the cultivators cried out in shock.
A young man in white robes walked out from the crowd and slowly headed towards the Cloud Nine Insignia. The man’s handsomeness was peerless, and the Immortal Sparks around him sparkled brightly. Every move he made contained elegance that was out of this world.
More importantly, the source energy of Guqin Dao was swirling around him and resonating with the Cloud Nine Insignia!
At that moment, everyone finally knew that the Cloud Nine Insignia chimed because of him!
He was the master that the Cloud Nine Insignia has been waiting for.
“It’s him!”
Yuan Xu, Qin Feng, and the others looked at Chu Kuangren in awe.
At the same time, someone in the crowd recognized him.
“It’s him! He’s Chu Kuangren!”
“He’s here at the Cloud Nine Banquet? The mystical Guqin Dao source energy is so powerful! He’s also a master of Guqin Dao?!”
“Not only that, but he even resonated with the Cloud Nine Insignia!”
The crowd gasped in awe.
The Guqin Crown also looked at Chu Kuangren in shock. “The Guqin Dao energy fluctuation… He’s the Guqin Immortal from before!”
“It’s him…” Xue Qinxin’s mind went blank.
Chu Kuangren claimed that he only knew a thing or two about guqin, and she believed him.
Could anyone explain to her what was going on? He knew a thing or two, yet he resonated with the Cloud Nine Insignia!?
Chu Kuangren walked towards the Cloud Nine Insignia. The strong Guqin Dao Source energy fluctuation spread across the entire manor. All the guqin on the scene automatically released melodious sounds as if a pair of invisible hands were playing them.
The resonance of a myriad of guqins!
“Trying to take the Cloud Nine Insignia? In your dreams!” Jin Yi grunted.
He was determined to get the guqin. As such, he channeled his Dragon qi and infused it into his Immortal Weapon before he thrust it towards Chu Kuangren. However, the golden-haired Dragon Immortal in the sky reacted differently.
“No!”
Nevertheless, it was too late.
Chu Kuangren put up a sword hand sign and simply drew in the void. With the help of his dozen source energies, it transformed into a violet sword ray.
As the sword ray traveled forward, violet lotuses bloomed in its trail.
It moved forward with a destructive force that crushed the golden Dragon qi, and Jin Yi failed to escape in time. He was slashed into half by the sword ray!
The strike shocked everyone present.
Jin Yi was an Immortal Progeny of the Dragon Tribe! He was as powerful as King Immortal Progeny, and yet he was cut in half by a simple strike!
What kind of power was that?
“Killing a King Immortal Progeny with a simple strike? The rumors about this man are true!” Yuan Xu said with a nervous gulp.
Qin Feng was rendered speechless, and he felt extremely helpless in front of Chu Kuangren.
He lost in terms of power, talents, and even looks.
He thought that if he could somehow play the Cloud Nine Insignia, he might stand a chance to win Xue Qinxin’s heart from Chu Kuangren.
Now, even the Cloud Nine Insignia sounded for Chu Kuangren!
Qin Feng was defeated!
He had lost in every possible aspect!
Chu Kuangren stood in front of the guqin and touched the body. The guqin trembled softly, and its melodious sound continued to echo.
“You rang because you wanted to get my attention?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
The Cloud Nine Insignia continued to shake as if it was trying to answer Chu Kuangren. “Very well. If that’s your answer, from today onwards, I will be your master,” Chu Kuangren said softly.

“From today onwards, I will be your master,” Chu Kuangren said softly.
At that moment, the Cloud Nine Insignia’s sound echoed through the clouds, and Immortal Sparks shone, making all the guqin masters jealous.
“The Cloud Nine Insignia has an owner now!”
“It’s Chu Kuangren! He has become the master of Cloud Nine Insignia!”
Further away, a fierce killing intent erupted and locked on to Chu Kuangren. It was the golden-haired Dragon Immortal. His face was grim as he stared at Jin Yi’s body on the ground. He bellowed coldly, “You killed the Divine Dragon Island’s Dragon Bachelor? Chu Kuangren, you are asking for it!”
Then, his figure transformed into a golden light and flew straight to Chu Kuangren. Surges of rumbling Dragon qi erupted and shook even the void around him.
The crowd was once again in awe.
No matter how ridiculously powerful Chu Kuangren could be, his options should be limited before an Immortal, an Immortal of the Dragon Tribe.
Was Chu Kuangren going to fall right after he became the master of the Cloud Nine Insignia? Would he be the shortest-lived owner of the guqin? “I’ll use you to test the strength of this guqin,” Chu Kuangren simply said.
He put his fingers on the strings. Due to the Seven Chord Guqin Heart, he could feel himself becoming one with the Cloud Nine Insignia. He felt like they were in the same Spiritual Void Realm.
Then, he plucked the guqin with all ten fingers.
The moment the guqin released its sound, it blasted through the sky. Shocked, the golden-haired Dragon Immortal was forced to retreat.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren did not stop. He continued to play using the Emperor Technique, Eight Celestial Demonic Chord, unleashing its fullest potential.
Albeit being just an Emperor Technique, with Chu Kuangren’s current strength level and the Cloud Nine Insignia’s powers, its power was amplified several times. Its aura was domineering. The look on the Dragon Immortal’s face was grim.
On top of that, the moment he resonated with the guqin, he felt his comprehension of the Guqin Dao skyrocketed. His Emperor Technique, Eight Celestial Demonic Chord, also rose sharply, eventually becoming an Immortal Technique.
In the realm, spiritual qi surged, while the Daoist chimes and guqin music echoed endlessly.
A Proclamation Seal appeared! Chu Kuangren had, once again, created his own Immortal Technique!
The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords had been upgraded to an Immortal Technique! The crowd’s jaws dropped.
Together with the Cloud Nine Insignia, the Eight Celestial Demonic Chord, now an Immortal Technique, was able to release powers a few levels higher than its original.
Terrifying soundwaves filled heaven and earth and even shook the universe.
All noises in the realm were silenced.
Only Chu Kuangren’s playing remained heard.
The sun, the moon, the mountains, the river — everything in the world felt dull and bleak, leaving only one person that stood before the crowd, shocking the universe with his guqin playing.
“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Grand Melodic Void!”
Chu Kuangren quickly channeled Eight Celestial Demonic Chords to their highest level.
His fingers plucked the strings rhythmically.
All of a sudden, the world went silent, and there was also no sound from the guqin.
However, the soundless play contained the wisdom of Guqin Dao, and the vast source energy of the Guqin Dao was so terrifying that it could crush stars in the universe.
All the guqin masters present stared were in utter silence.
Even the Guqin Crown was stunned!
The soundless guqin music erupted and blasted towards the Dragon Immortal.
The might of the soundless guqin caused the Dragon Immortal’s pupils to shrink in fear. Then, a substantial amount of energy fluctuation emanated from his Immortal’s Core.
“Gold Dragon Shield!”
Golden Dragon qi intertwined to form a golden shield in front of him. However, when the soundwaves collided with it, the shield was crushed. In the process, the Dragon Immortal was blasted backward with blood spurting from his mouth.
“This is bad. I must retreat!”
The look on the Dragon Immortal’s face changed. He transformed into a ray of light and fled the scene in a hurry. Chu Kuangren had defeated the Dragon Immortal so badly that he had to flee in desperation.
Everyone was shocked.
The elderly was an Immortal. He was the Dragon Immortal!
Despite being so powerful, even he was no match for Chu Kuangren! He had to flee in desperation in the face of defeat. The important thing to note was that Chu Kuangren was not even an Immortal. He was just an Immortal Progeny.
“Oh my goodness! Rumor has it that he could defy heaven and kill an Immortal. I thought people were exaggerating, but it seems like it’s an understatement!”
“My god! He’s so scary! He defied heaven and killed an Immortal? I don’t think the ancient immortal orthodoxies could produce an Immortal Progeny as powerful as him!” “Is he really a foreigner?”
A heated discussion erupted among the crowd. They looked at Chu Kuangren in fear, like they were looking at a monster. On the other hand, the ladies, Xue Qinxin, Shang Chanjuan, and the others, looked at him in admiration. Their crystal-clear eyes were overflowing with admiration.
Unparalleled temperament, handsome, powerful… No girls would not fall for an Immortal Progeny like him.
Lan Yu watched from the side and could not help but shake her head.
As expected, no one could resist her master’s charms.
Unfortunately, her master’s goal was to reach a higher realm of cultivation. He had never shown any interest in love or relationships.
Otherwise, countless girls from the Firmament Empire would give themselves up to him. One word from him, and he could own all the women of the empire. It was as easy as flipping his palm.
“This Cloud Nine Insignia is really not bad.” Chu Kuangren smiled as watched the Immortal Sparks on the guqin fade away slowly.
The guqin’s level was higher than the Three-Headed Six-Armed Resentful Buddha.
Chu Kuangren even used Lil Ai, the Omniscient Spirit, to analyze the guqin, and he found out that the Cloud Nine Insignia was not just a guqin. The guqin was one of the fragments of the Source Supreme Treasure! Which shocked Chu Kuangren the most.
The Source Supreme Treasure, as its name suggested, was a treasure from the source energy. It was a lot stronger than common Immortal Weapons.
Even back in the ancient Immortal World, it was considered a rare treasure. Its value was on par with the complete Jade Pool Immortal’s Scriptures or better.
“The fragment of Source Supreme Treasure, huh? Interesting. I did not expect to get something like this,” Chu Kuangren muttered. The value of this Cloud Nine Insignia was a lot higher than he thought.
“What a great play of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords!” The Guqin Crown came up to Chu Kuangren with praise and admiration overflowing from her eyes.
“The Cloud Nine Insignia has finally met its master!”
She glanced at the Cloud Nine Insignia, seemingly having a difficult time parting with it. Nevertheless, she was also happy because the Immortal guqin could finally have a worthy master.
“I can’t thank you enough for the guqin, Guqin Crown.” Chu Kuangren bowed.
“The Cloud Nine Insignia chose you. All I did was to deliver it to you,” the Guqin Crown smiled.
Then, the Guqin Crown dispersed the crowd.
“Teacher, are you alright?”
Qin Feng came up to ask out of concern.
However, the Guqin Crown replied with a cold glare. “From today onwards, you are no longer the Elder Senior Brother of the manor.”
She was not blind. She knew who took up the responsibility in the time of pinch and who was the future of Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.
Qin Feng’s face turned pale. He knew his future was ruined.
Not only could he never marry Xue Qinxin, but he might even lose his status in Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.
“I understand.”
However, he dared not defy or voice any complaints.
The Guqin Crown was the manor lord, not him. Her words were the law and order of the manor, and no one could defy her.
After that, the Guqin Crown’s face softened as she looked at Shang Chanjuan. “Try not to wander so much outside. Qinxin is still young, I need someone to help me take care of the manor.”
Shang Chanjuan was surprised. “You don’t object to my guqin anymore?” “I’ve never objected to your guqin.You just went the extreme way, and I was afraid you might not be able to endure the burden, hence the strictness. Now, it seems like you’ve grown well. Come home.”
“Yes, teacher.” Shang Chanjuan was delighted.
