Chapter 1008 Sword Qi-Defeated Slumbering Sword Ocean, Superior Clarity Spiritual Scripture
A powerful violet sword ray was heading towards the Slumbering Sword Ocean.
It was so powerful that the sword pressure enveloped the entire sect, striking fear into many saber cultivators’ hearts.
Several figures came out from the sect, and they were none other than the Saber Immortal of Slumbering Sword Ocean.
As they looked at the incoming sword ray, there was a grim look on their faces.
“The sword intents in the sword qi is no weaker than the Sword Crown, and the energy that it emanates…… It’s the Thousand Lotus Sword Intents!”
“Who sent this?!
For a moment there, everyone thought of a single name — Chu Kuangren!
In the current Planquilon Immortal World, other than the Sword Crown, the other one who knew the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent was Chu Kuangren.
That thought heightened their concerns.
“Let’s put that aside for now. We must stop this sword ray first,” the man in the black robes said.
Then, he gripped the hilt of his saber at his waist, and a tremendous saber intent gushed out.
“Slash!”
The unsheathed saber unleashed a dragon-shaped surge of saber qi towards the incoming violet sword ray with lightning speed.
The moment the sword ray and saber qi collided, the void exploded. However, the sword ray’s momentum remained as it continued forward without slowing down. “What?!”
The Saber Immortals were stupefied.
The other Saber Immortals wanted to make their moves, but it was too late. The sword ray had arrived and struck the center of Slumbering Sword Ocean.
Along with a loud explosion,sword ray flashed, and countless Daoist patterns swirled around. The light and patterns then converged into a giant violet lotus. The violet lotus shrouded more than half of the Slumbering Sword Ocean, and it started to splinter into countless more sword qi that further expanded its coverage.
The land crumbled, and mountains shook.
The entire Slumbering Sword Ocean fell into panic. All the saber cultivators within tried to dodge the incoming sword qi with their lives, but quite a number of them died. Those who survived either lost limbs or suffered severe injuries.
The entire Slumbering Sword Ocean became a living hell for those there.
Then, a majestic voice came from the sword qi.
“Seven days later, I will visit the Slumbering Sword Ocean.”
It was Chu Kuangren’s voice, and it left all the saber cultivators in fear.
“It’s Chu Kuangren! This sword qi is really from him!”
“This is a challenge invitation!”
“He’s challenging the entire Slumbering Sword Ocean!”
Deep inside Slumbering Sword Ocean, a massive saber intent dispersed the sword qi. The Saber Crown stared further away in the distance as he mumbled, “Chu Kuangren, so you’re the best in Sword Dao!”
Everyone else gasped at his words. His meaning was obvious. Chu Kuangren was better than the Sword Crown!
It seemed impossible because he has yet to become an Immortal.
A while later, the news of Chu Kuangren challenging the entire Slumbering Sword Ocean spread like wildfire, and every corner of Planquilon Immortal World knew about it.
It shook the entire Planquilon Immortal World, including the hearts of the swordsmen.
“The Saber Crown said Chu Kuangren is the top of the Sword Dao! It seems like he’s beyond the Sword Crown! If he can defeat the Saber Crown, the swordsmanship world will definitely make a comeback!”
“Chu Kuangren! The world’s swordsmen are counting on you!”
“We cannot miss this fight!”
All the immortal orthodoxies did not want to miss this fight either. They wanted to seize this chance to learn a little more about Chu Kuangren’s true strength.
Some of them even wanted to take advantage of the fight to achieve their own goal.
To them, Chu Kuangren had too many secrets that they might be able to take advantage of.
The Immortals of Holy Divine Fire Cult got together, talking about the fight. “Chu Kuangren has killed our Divine Bachelors, and that makes him a nemesis to our sect. His battle with the Saber Crown might be a chance for us.”
“I agree. If we can utilize this chance to find out about the secret of the Phoenix’s Fire from him, it will be a huge help.”
“We cannot miss this fight.”
Meanwhile, in the Holy City, the Spear Crown, who was also the Holy City Ruler, took a glance at the maroon spear before his eyes, which flashed with a cold glare.
“Chu Kuangren, you killed my disciple. Do you think I’ll let you off just like that?
“So what if you have the academy on your side? The dean retired many years ago and is no longer interested in worldly affairs. Do you think you are safe with the academy’s protection?
“This fight is a chance, and maybe…… those guys are starting to grow restless as well.” He gripped the Bloodlust Spear tightly, and a sharp screech from the spear echoed in the sky. The screen contained a cold killing intent within.
On an island surrounded by dragon qi, several dragon shadows were gathered.
“Chu Kuangren is going to fight the Saber Crown. This is a great chance for us to find out his true strength. He’s not a Fated One, but he’s an anomaly who might be a great threat to us in the future. We have to be cautious against him.”
“That’s right. He even has the Cloud Nine Insignia. If we want to have a union with Sycamore Mountain, the guqin will be a great advantage for us. We have to get it from him. And the Dragon-binding Lasso, it’s made from a pure-blooded True Dragon’s tendon. I don’t think I need to state how great of a benefit it will bring us.”
“Not only that, but Chu Kuangren got all the Opportunities of Fortunes in Penglai Island and several top-tier Immortal Weapons. He’s like a walking treasure vault. I heard the other immortal orthodoxies are preparing to strike from the dark.”
“Hm, send a few men over then. Aside from all the Opportunities of Fortune, we must get our hands on the Cloud Nine Insignia.”
A while later, several True Dragons flew away from Divine Dragon Island.
Meanwhile, in a dazzling palace located in the clouds, a ball of golden sparks ferried a Yokai’s figure within.
“Interesting. Not yet an Immortal, and he has already offended so many immortal orthodoxies at once, huh? Now he’s challenging the Saber Crown? He’s bold enough to look death in the eye.”
A scoff came out from the sparks.
“Speaking of which, I sent the Golden Crow Guardians to invite him back, but I never heard back. Come to think of it, the guardians I sent were killed. There are only a few in this world bold enough to reject the Honorable Yokai Court’s invitation.”
“Chu Kuangren is indeed an audacious one.”
The sparks then went silent for a while.
After that, a streak of golden light flew out from it, followed by the arrival of several Golden Crow Guardians.
Each of them was the best Immortals among the Golden Crow Guardian.
“Head to Slumbering Sword Ocean. Keep an eye on the fight and wait for the chance to strike. If it’s possible, I want him alive. If not, dead is fine too. We must get the Azure Phoenix Mirror back at all cost.”
The Golden Crow Guardians looked serious. “Aye.”
Once the guardians left, the Yokai figure within the sparks mumbled to itself.
“The Jade Pool Immortal Scripture must be involved anyhow. I wonder if Chu Kuangren cultivated the Immortal Scripture.”
All the immortal orthodoxies made their move secretly. While being in the eye of the storm, Chu Kuangren remained carefree.
The challenge was getting closer, but he continued to teach, garden, relax, and enjoy the scenery in the academy like a retired elderly.
It seemed like everything in the outside world, which started because of him, did not affect him at all.
One day, as Chu Kuangren was sitting at a mountain peak, a mystical set of techniques appeared in his mind.
It was the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture!
That was the name of the item he got from Penglai Island, and other from creating his own source energy, it was his biggest gain.
In fact, it was the Jie Set Ruler’s inheritance — a complete set of Immortal’s Scriptures!
He had been studying the wonders of the scripture for quite some time now, and it had benefited him greatly.
Now, with Jade Pool Immortal’s Scripture and Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture, the source energy within him continued to grow stronger.
He believed that he would soon be able to master the Self-empowerment and Invincible Source and become an Immortal!

“Before that, let’s kill a few more Immortals,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He stared further away in the direction of Slumbering Sword Ocean as the words escaped his mouth with a flat tone.
It shocked Lil Fox beside him so badly that she trembled.
‘Holy sh*t! My boss is freaking awesome! He’s going to kill Immortals like a fly! And it seems like a child’s play to him!’
“Master, are you leaving soon?” Lan Yu asked all of a sudden as a thought popped up in her mind.
“Mhmm. I’m going alone this time. I’m afraid there might be some unforeseen circumstances,” he said.
Once a cultivator reached a certain level of cultivation, his mind would be able to form a kind of connection with nature that allowed him to have premonitions about certain things, especially when it involved himself.
That might be what others called a hunch.
Chu Kuangren had a feeling that since he started cultivating the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture, that hunch was heightened.
He had a strong feeling that his trip to Slumbering Sword Ocean would not just be a battle with the Saber Crown. If Lan Yu were to follow, she might be in danger.
Lan Yu nodded upon hearing his words. “In that case, I’ll wait for Master’s victorious return.” “Boss, go get him! I know you can!” Lil Fox also cheered on Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren patted Lil Fox and said with a smile, “Great. Just wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”
As soon as he said that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the void.
The other Masters in the academy felt it as well.
“He has made his move.” “This is a battle worth looking forward to.”
There was already a crowd outside Slumbering Sword Ocean. Everyone was waiting for the battle between Chu Kuangren and the Saber Crown to start.
“Has Chu Kuangren made his move yet?”
“I don’t know. I heard he’s still in the academy, and it has been seven days now. Is he going to chicken out?”
“No way. Is Chu Kuangren that disreputable? If he doesn’t show up, the swordsmanship world will be the biggest joke again.”
Most of the audience were swordsmen, and Chu Kuangren’s absence up until now only fueled their anxiety.
Deep inside Slumbering Sword Ocean, more precisely on a lake within the premise, the Saber Crown was sitting in the center with his legs crossed.
Gray mist rose from the lake and was absorbed by his body. At a closer look, there were numerous broken swords inside the lake. All the swords belonged to all the swordsmen that Slumbering Sword Ocean had defeated, all broken and thrown into the lake.
The lake of broken swords consisted of quite a number of high-tier Daoist weapons, including some Immortal Swords. Unfortunately, all the swords had lost their luster, and most of them were rusty.
The lake was actually a graveyard for swords. However, given its size, it was more like a sea, hence the orthodoxy’s name, Slumbering Sword Ocean.
To the saber cultivators of Slumbering Sword Ocean, the lake symbolized their orthodoxy growing stronger by the day. It was a place where they took pride in.
To the Saber Crown, it was a great place for cultivation.
The lake contained a large amount of rageful sword qi, and it was used to temper one’s Saber Dao, which was actually the essence of Avici Trinity Slash.
Buzz, buzz……
All of a sudden, the calm lake surface shook and rippled.
The swords at the bottom of the lake started to shake as if they had sensed something.
Confused, the Saber Crown stood up slowly. He channeled his saber intentions and suppressed the buzzing from the swords.
Then, he stared out of Slumbering Sword Ocean with the eyes of a hawk.
“He’s here.”
Outside the Slumbering Sword Ocean, the swordsmen remained anxious and restless. However, Chu Kuangren was still a no-show. The restlessness slowly turned into disappointment.
“Is Chu Kuangren scared?”
“If he’s scared, why issue a challenge in the first place?”
It was then that an elderly in the air sensed something. His eyes shone as he stared into the void. “He’s here!”
“What?!”
Everyone was surprised.
Yet, before they regained their composure, the swords in their hands or sheaths started to buzz and flew into the air, releasing sounds of swords chiming.
Sword qi within ten thousand kilometers gathered at a single point in the air and resonated with thousands of swords as if they were welcoming the supreme sword.
The sudden phenomenon left everyone in awe. Following that, a figure emerged from the void.
The figure’s robes were as white as snow, free of dirt. His handsome looks and elegant presence felt like the King of Immortals had just arrived.
Sword qi circulated around him and caused the swords to resonate with his arrival.
“Chu Kuangren is here!”
The crowd’s eyes were fixed on the man in white.
“What a terrifying aura. Why do I feel he’s even scarier than a few Immortals?”
“Is he not an Immortal? This is beyond terrifying.”
“This phenomenon…… It’s the Sword Dao Immortal Physique!”
Someone thought of the sudden appearance of the Sword Dao Immortal Physique at the Cloud Nine Insignia Manor a while ago, and it sparked a heated discussion.
“I heard Chu Kuangren was also present back at Cloud Nine Insignia Manor, which means he must be the one who awoke the Sword Dao Immortal Physique!” “No wonder the Saber Crown said he’s the peak of Sword Dao. It’s because he has the Sword Dao Immortal Physique! Hope has been reignited in the swordsmanship world!”
One of the swordsmen stepped up and called out to Chu Kuangren.
“Chu Kuangren, you must make us swordsmen proud! Don’t lose to the Saber Crown again like that useless Sword Crown!”
“Yeah, if you lose, the swordsmanship world is finished!”
“You must win!” “You are fighting on behalf of all the swordsmen in the world!” Chu Kuangren simply flung his sleeves at the swordsmen. Terrifying source energy transformed into sword qi and blasted them away.
The one who called the Sword Crown useless died on the spot.
The scene caught everyone off guard and put a pale look on their faces.
“Chu Kuangren, what are you doing?!” asked one nervous swordsman.
Chu Kuangren stared at them coldly with his hands behind his back. “Who do you think you are, asking me to fight on your behalf?”
In the past few days, all the swordsmen in the world had insulted the Sword Crown, and the news naturally got to his ears.
Why would he want to fight on behalf of those bastards?
What a joke. He despised them.
“I came for the Sword Crown and the Sword Crown only. All the swordsmen in the world have nothing to do with me. If you people want to fight, you can do it yourself. If you have to rely on others to fight your fight, you people are just a bunch of cowards,” Chu Kuangren said straightforwardly.
Embarrassed by his swords, the swordsmen were rendered speechless.
Without wasting his time on those swordsmen, Chu Kuangren glanced over at the void before him. He could sense quite a number of presence hiding in the void, and every one of them was there with a hidden agenda.
“As expected. Other than the Saber Crown, there are quite a number of busybodies in the void. I hope you people can control yourself and behave,” Chu Kuangren muttered. Then, he headed into Slumbering Sword Ocean.
A powerful saber intent rose and shook the entire area. The moment it clashed with Chu Kuangren’s sword intent, a powerful shockwave that left everyone in fear spread outward.
Terrified, everyone quickly retreated. “That’s some powerful aura!”
“It’s only his aura, but it’s so far beyond us. If the two of them fight, I can’t imagine how big it will get.”
The Saber Crown looked at Chu Kuangren from the void and said coldly, “Our meeting last time ended in a hurry, and we did not get the chance to fight. Now, let me see how far you have reached in your Sword Dao.”
“The Sword Crown is my follower regardless. I will finish what he could not.”
Chu Kuangren put up a sword hand sign, and violet lotuses bloomed from the void. Thousand Lotus Sword Intent instantly enveloped their surroundings and shook even the universe.
