The Opportunity of Fortune of the Sword Gauntlet was taken by Chu Kuangren, but the rest of the sword cultivators were devastated. Some of them even lost interest in practicing their swordsmanship.
It was too tragic.
Compared to Chu Kuangren, what was the point of practicing their swordsmanship?
Other than a few people who stayed in the Hidden Sword Canyon to observe the sword scars, most of the sword cultivators, including the One Mountain and Two Clans, had left.
"Boss Qian, we'll meet again."
"Brother Chu, have a safe journey."
Qian Fugui laughed. He had been in contact with Chu Kuangren for the past few days. Although they were not exactly friends, they were at least on good terms.
Looking at Chu Kuangren's departing figure, Qian Fugui smiled. "This trip to the Hidden Sword Canyon was really worth it."
A green figure appeared behind Qian Fugui. "Boss, you've been in contact with Chu Kuangren for the past few days. Are you trying to befriend him?"
"Duh."
"Then why didn't you just reveal your identity?"
"Why don't you understand? It's important to be honest when making friends."
The green figure rolled his eyes. "Boss, why are you befriending him? You know very well that you're just interested in his identity and potential, right? You still have the nerve to talk about being honest? That's too fake. "
"Shut up. I'm your boss, how dare you talk back to me."
"Yes, yes. Boss is right."
The green figure had no choice but to follow Qian Fugui's lead.
Qian Fugui looked at Chu Kuangren's departing figure and rubbed the white jade ring on his thumb. "There are too many investment opportunities in this Era of Great Battles, and Chu Kuangren is definitely worth investing in."
"It won't go wrong to build a good relationship with him."
…
"What, an Emperor's Scripture?!"
On the Fairy boat, Black Heaven's Third Forefather could not help but exclaim when he heard that the Opportunity of Fortune in the Sword Gauntlet was an Emperor's inheritance.
An Emperor's Scripture was too valuable.
Even a Sage would be jealous of it.
"Luckily you didn't say it out loud. Otherwise, who knows if those three old men would start a war just to get it."
"An Emperor's Scripture is too scary."
Black Heaven's Third Forefather said in relief.
"Kuangren, you have a lot of luck, but the Emperor's Scripture is too important. You mustn't tell anyone else. Otherwise, even the Black Heaven Sect will not be able to protect you." Black Heaven's Third Forefather said solemnly.
Chu Kuangren's heart skipped a beat.
After all, he had the backing of three sage orthodoxies. If even they could not protect Chu Kuangren, he would not be able to do so.
In that case, what kind of power would they be facing?
"Kuangren, this world is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Sage orthodoxies are not necessarily the strongest forces. There are many unknowns and unknowns in this world."
Black Heaven's Third Forefather said meaningfully.
"Unknown things, unknown lands …" Chu Kuangren murmured before he nodded. "I understand."
"Mm, study the Imperial Scripture well and strive to become an Emperor in the future. Only then will you not be afraid of anyone or anything."
"Yes, Third Patriarch."
Soon, everyone returned to the Black Heaven Sect.
When Honorable Xuan Qi found out that Chu Kuangren had obtained the Opportunity of Fortune from the Sword Gauntlet, he was extremely pleased. "I knew you could do it, Kuangren."
"Other than Kuangren, no one else can take the Sword Tower's fortuitous encounter."
Elder Ruyan said with a smile.
"That's right, what is that opportunity?"
One of the elders asked curiously.
At that moment, Black Heaven's Third Forefather's voice came from the void. "No one is allowed to ask about the Opportunity of Fortune in the Sword Gauntlet!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then revealed a look of contemplation.
Chu Kuangren smiled apologetically at the crowd.
"Lead Disciple, don't overthink it. Since the Sage has spoken, we will obey. We will not ask about the Opportunity of Fortune anymore."
"Mm, not bad. The Opportunity of Fortune is precious. It would be bad if it attracted the attention of others. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
The few elders expressed their understanding.
"Alright, Kuangren, the trip to the Sword Gauntlet has been tough. Go back and rest. You still have to attend the Inauguration Ceremony in half a month."
"Yes, what?" Just as Chu Kuangren was about to leave, he suddenly regained his senses and asked, "What Inauguration Ceremony?"
"Of course it's the Inauguration Ceremony where you take over the position of Sect Leader."
Chu Kuangren only remembered when he heard that. "Honorable Teacher, are you really not going to reconsider? Look at all the elders here, which one of them isn't more suitable than me? Can't you just pick one of them? "
"Hey, Lead Disciple, you can't just say things like that. Besides you, who else is qualified to take over the position of Sect Leader?"
"Yes, it has to be you."
"Kuangren, just accept it."
The few elders laughed. Surprisingly, none of them objected.
Chu Kuangren wanted to cry but no tears came out. 'Do you guys think so highly of me?'
"Kuangren, look, all the elders have unanimously agreed that the position of Sect Leader belongs to you. You have to accept it. I'm already a Boundary Sage now, so I need to hide behind the scenes and accumulate the resources to become a Sage."
Honorable Xuan Qi patted Chu Kuangren on the shoulder. "You don't have to worry about it affecting your cultivation. There are a few elders who will help you with the management. You just need to make some decisions on the bigger issues."
"Other times, you can just be a Sect Leader who doesn't have to do anything. Back in the day, that's how I went through it."
As Honorable Xuan Qi spoke of his experience, the mouths of the few elders beside him twitched. They wanted to slap him in the face.
'Damn it, you're so comfortable being a Sect Leader who doesn't have to do anything.
We were all exhausted to the point of exhaustion.
"Alright, Honorable Teacher, I understand."
Chu Kuangren saw that the faces of the few elders, including the beautiful Elder Ruyan, had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He quickly interrupted Honorable Xuan Qi who was still bragging.
If he was one step late, he was afraid that this Honorable Teacher of his would be beaten to death.
"It's good that you've thought it through. Being a Sect Leader is actually quite easy." Honorable Xuan Qi smiled in satisfaction and continued to tease the nerves of the few elders.
"Kuangren, you should go back first. We need to discuss some matters regarding the Inauguration Ceremony with your Honorable Teacher." Elder Ruyan smiled gently.
"Yes."
Chu Kuangren felt his scalp tingle. He gave Honorable Xuan Qi a look of good luck before bowing and retreating.
When he left, Chu Kuangren considerately closed the palace door.
Then, he heard some screams coming from inside.
"Didn't we already agree on the Inauguration Ceremony? Why … Ah, Fourth Elder, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit me?"
"F * ck me, what are you guys doing?"
"You're a Sect Leader who doesn't have to do anything, right? You're speaking from experience, right …"
"You bastard Xuan Qi, do you know how much white hair I've gotten from overseeing the Internal Affairs Division all these years? You're quite happy, aren't you?"
"Hit him!"
"Hey hey, stop."
"Elder Ruyan, I was wrong, don't pinch me … Hiss …"
"Kuangren, save me!"
Outside the palace door, Chu Kuangren shuddered and bowed towards the palace door. "Honorable Teacher, please forgive me for being unfilial. I can't help you anymore."
He sighed and quickly turned around to leave.
Back at the Daoist Palace.
Lan Yu and Lil Bing were looking at a piece of clothing.
"Hey, what are you guys looking at?"
"Master, you're back. These are the clothes that the Internal Affairs Division just sent over. They're for you to wear during the Inauguration Ceremony."
Lil Bing walked forward with the clothes in her arms.
Chu Kuangren glanced at them. Wow, the materials used for the clothes were all high-end goods. These clothes alone were worth at least a million soulstones.
