The Sky Emperor Palace's Forbidden Scroll piqued Chu Kuangren's interest.
He sat down with his legs crossed and began to gain insights.
This scroll was extraordinary, and the Daoist Rhymes it contained were so profound that one could not help but be immersed in it.
Choosing a cultivation technique did not mean that the more profound it was, the better.
There had to be a limit to it.
If one were to choose a cultivation technique that was too profound and could not be understood by oneself, then one might not be able to achieve anything in one's lifetime.
The Sky Emperor Palace's Forbidden Scroll was such a cultivation technique.
This cultivation technique was more profound than any that Chu Kuangren had ever seen before. If other cultivators tried to gain insights from it, they would not be able to succeed. Besides, this scroll also contained a … demonic aura.
Anyone who tried to gain insights from this cultivation technique would be easily attracted by its mysteries and become immersed in it. Cultivators with a slightly weaker Daoist core, even Honorable Supremes, might die from mental exhaustion.
…
Sky Emperor Palace.
The three Sages were all watching Chu Kuangren. They could not help but be delighted when they saw that he had begun to gain insights from the Forbidden Scroll.
"Hah, he's fallen for it."
"Let's see what he's going to do now."
"Oh Chu Kuangren, you've already written that it's a forbidden scroll, yet you still want to gain insights from it. You're doomed today because of your own arrogance."
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang laughed out loud. He could not wait to see Chu Kuangren suffer a setback and be unable to do anything to him.
Time passed, and soon, an hour had passed.
Chu Kuangren was still on the top floor, trying to gain insights from the scroll.
The three Sages were sure that he was already immersed in it.
"Even an Honorable Supreme would die from mental exhaustion after three days of studying this scroll. Even if Chu Kuangren is as powerful as a Sage, he can only last ten days at most."
"If he doesn't break free from the mysteries of the scroll within ten days, he will die from mental exhaustion." Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang smiled.
Four hours passed.
Chu Kuangren still did not move.
Six hours, eight hours, ten hours passed.
Just as Chu Kuangren was trying to gain insights from the Sky Emperor Palace's Forbidden Scroll, a huge wave suddenly surged above the Firmament Star's ocean.
A huge island appeared out of thin air above the ocean.
A beam of colorful light suddenly shot into the sky and reached the clouds. An extremely vast Daoist Rhyme spread out from this colorful light.
All of a sudden, all the Sages in the entire Firmament Star felt it.
"This Daoist Rhyme … actually contains the Emperor's Aura!"
"It's from overseas."
"An island that has never been seen before? Moreover, it even contains the pressure of an Emperor. Could it be that this island is the residence of an Emperor? "
"According to the records, there are only a few Emperors living overseas. White Robed Emperor, Willow Emperor, or Blue Sky Emperor?"
"There must be great opportunities on this island!"
"Send someone to investigate immediately."
The appearance of the nameless island in the sea shook the entire Firmament Star. Streaks of light streaked across the sea.
Among them, the 36 Oceanic Islands were the first to receive the news. They sent people to seal off the island in an attempt to monopolize the treasures on the island.
As a result, they had many disputes with the sage orthodoxies of the four regions.
Within the Sky Emperor Palace, Heavenly King Sage Zhang and the others naturally knew that the nameless island had appeared out of thin air and was suspected to be the former residence of an Emperor.
At this moment, they also planned to rush forward to take a look. After all, opportunities related to Emperors were something that even Sages would be extremely tempted by.
"What should we do about Chu Kuangren then?"
One of the Sky Emperor Palace's Sages suddenly asked.
"Leave one person here to look after him."
"Who should stay then?"
The three Sages looked at each other.
No one wanted to miss out on an opportunity that might be related to an Emperor.
"How about … rock-paper-scissors?"
One of the Sages said.
The other two Sages rolled their eyes. 'Using rock-paper-scissors to decide such an important matter? Are you out of your mind?'
Just when the three of them were hesitating, a terrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme that contained some kind of Emperor's Aura swept out from the Sky Emperor Palace.
"What's going on?"
"This aura, it's … Chu Kuangren?!"
The three Sages' expressions changed, and their figures instantly disappeared. When they arrived above the pavilion, they looked at Chu Kuangren who was sitting cross-legged in shock.
"This surge of Daoist Rhyme is the same as the one on that scroll!"
"Don't tell me he really managed to gain insight into the technique on that scroll?"
"That's impossible!"
Chu Kuangren slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up, raised his fair arm, and slowly pointed a finger at the void. A black finger qi pierced through the air!
The finger qi transformed into a giant finger that pointed at the sea of clouds.
In an instant, the void rumbled, and the sea of clouds shattered!
From that finger, the three Sages felt an inexplicable sense of fear, which shocked them to their core.
After all, that finger qi was not targeted at them!
If they were targeted, how terrifying would that be?!
The three of them did not dare to imagine.
"I can't believe he really managed to gain insight into the technique on that scroll. There's a surge of Emperor's Aura within it. It's an Emperor Technique!"
"By the heavens, how did he do it?"
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang had a complicated look in his eyes.
That scroll had been in the Sky Emperor Palace for a very long time, but no one had ever managed to gain any insight from it.
A lot of cultivators had died because of that scroll.
Even Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang himself almost fell for it.
Yet now, a cultivator who was not from the Sky Emperor Palace had managed to gain insight into the technique on that scroll!
That made him feel extremely frustrated. It was as if that scroll was originally prepared for Chu Kuangren, and they were merely keeping it safe on his behalf. They did not even have to pay for its safekeeping!
Not only that, but they had also lost many cultivators' lives.
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang's expression kept changing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sage Zhang!"
"Quick, calm your Daoist core. Don't overthink it."
The two Sages beside him quickly said as their expressions changed.
Naturally, they knew what Sage Zhang was thinking. Even they had the urge to vomit blood, let alone Sage Zhang.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have put that scroll in there. Chu Kuangren would've gotten an Emperor Technique for nothing!"
Heavenly Emperor Sage Zhang's face was pale as he gritted his teeth and said.
He was so angry!
Initially, he wanted to trick Chu Kuangren, but he did not expect that he would end up with such a great Opportunity of Fortune for Chu Kuangren!
The other two Sages looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"You can't be blamed for this. Who knew that he could really gain insight into that technique? This kid can't be measured with common sense."
"Indeed."
Inside the pavilion.
Chu Kuangren looked at the scroll in his hand and smiled.
"The Heart Piercing Finger is a good Emperor Technique!"
"Moreover, this Emperor Technique is only one-ninth of a cultivation technique. There are eight other copies of the same scroll, and each of them contains an Emperor Technique. Only when all nine Emperor Techniques are combined will this mysterious technique reveal its true form!" Chu Kuangren murmured.
That was the information he obtained after gaining insight into the Heart Piercing Finger.
The Emperor Technique was already the most powerful technique in the history of the Firmament Star. It was hard to imagine what level the Nine Great Emperor Techniques would be when they were combined.
'Could it be related to those illusory immortals?'
Chu Kuangren secretly made a mental note of that as he planned to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the other scrolls.
