"How dare they?!"
Chu Kuangren yelled with a cold glare in his eyes.
Xue Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw that. Did Chu Kuangren really have the ability to deal with the unknown lands?!
"My apologies, I forgot my manners."
Chu Kuangren retracted his cold gaze and smiled.
He was extremely good-looking, and his smile was like a spring breeze. Seeing this, Xue Zheng's heart relaxed, and he also slowly relaxed.
"Brother Chu, let's continue our journey."
"Alright."
Chu Kuangren nodded.
He secretly gave himself a thumbs up.
It seemed like he had successfully scared Xue Zheng. He would definitely report this to the Ethereal Sect, and by then, they would be wary of him.
Did the Black Heaven Sect, or rather, Chu Kuangren, have the ability to deal with the unknown lands? To be honest, it was extremely difficult.
No one knew for sure how powerful the unknown lands were, but one thing was for sure — they were definitely much stronger than any sage orthodoxy that Chu Kuangren had ever seen before. Much, much stronger …
The Black Heaven Sect had improved tremendously in the past few years, but compared to the unknown lands that had tens or even hundreds of thousands of years of history, there was still a gap.
It was impossible to fight them head-on.
Chu Kuangren's decision to kill Great Sage Ruler Zhang Guang's spiritual thought clone and threaten the Heavenly Golden Palace was a gamble!
His biggest trump card was the Headless Lady!
By revealing that he was somehow related to the Headless Lady, he was betting that the Heavenly Golden Palace would be wary of the Headless Lady and would not dare to act rashly. That way, he could buy time for the Black Heaven Sect to improve its strength.
Under those circumstances, that was the only thing he could do!
If he showed any signs of fear or hesitation, he had every reason to believe that the Heavenly Golden Palace and the other unknown lands would come after him and the Black Heaven Sect.
That was because Chu Kuangren's existence had already prevented the unknown lands from fighting for the Emperor Ascension Opportunity!
"I'm now at the heart of the struggle. I could be the target of everyone at any time." Chu Kuangren looked into the distant sky with a deep gaze.
To outsiders, he was glorious and majestic. However, Chu Kuangren knew very well that he was treading on thin ice. If he was not careful, he and the Black Heaven Sect would be doomed!
However, he had no other way out!
Since that was the case, he might as well press forward and properly wrestle with these Unknown Lands.
…
Soon, Chu Kuangren followed Xue Zheng to a mountain peak.
Ethereal Rapture was, in fact, a secret realm. Furthermore, it was a secret realm that was constantly on the move, making it hard to locate.
Only the disciples of Ethereal Rapture had some sort of searching method.
"Open!"
Xue Zheng took out a jade medallion and threw it into the air. The jade medallion shone brightly and opened up a spatial tunnel.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please."
"Please."
The two of them stepped into the spatial tunnel and arrived at the Ethereal Rapture.
As soon as he entered, he saw a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist. The mountain range was filled with exotic flowers and plants, as well as rare birds and beasts.
"So this is the Ethereal Rapture. It's like a paradise indeed."
Chu Kuangren exclaimed.
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Chu." Xue Zheng smiled.
After that, he brought Chu Kuangren to the main peak of Ethereal Rapture. Along the way, they met quite a few Ethereal Rapture disciples.
Through Chu Kuangren's observation, he realized that each and every one of these Ethereal Rapture disciples were top-notch geniuses. Any one of them could easily become a True Disciple or even a Daoist of a sage orthodoxy in the outside world.
"Senior Xue."
A female disciple walked up and bowed at Xue Zheng.
She looked at Chu Kuangren curiously.
As the empyrean walker of Ethereal Rapture, Xue Zheng was highly respected among the disciples. Hence, it was only natural for her to be curious when she saw that he had brought an outsider back.
"Senior Xue, who is this Daoist Brother?"
The female disciple looked at Chu Kuangren with a dazed look in her eyes. She felt that the man in front of her was extraordinarily handsome. He was much more handsome than everyone she had ever met, including her Senior Brother Xue Zheng.
"My name is Chu Kuangren. Nice to meet you."
"Greetings, Brother Chu. My name is Cai Yun. Are you here at Ethereal Rapture as a guest, Brother Chu?" The female disciple, Cai Yun, said enthusiastically.
"More or less."
"In that case, Brother Chu, you should stay for a few more days. There are many fun places in Ethereal Rapture. I'll bring you around when the time comes."
"I'll be troubling you then."
Beside her, Xue Zheng could not help but twitch his mouth. He felt that he, the true Elder Senior Brother of Ethereal Rapture, was being ignored.
He glanced at Chu Kuangren with a sour feeling in his heart.
'Isn't he just slightly more handsome than me?'
'Is there a need to be so enthusiastic about him?'
Cai Yun was not the only one. Xue Zheng had also noticed that there were quite a number of disciples around them.
Moreover, most of them were female cultivators. Each and every one of them was staring at Chu Kuangren with glowing eyes. Some of them were even salivating.
Those who did not know better would have thought that they were a pack of starving wolves that had just seen a lamb.
"Is there such a good-looking man in this world?"
"I thought Senior Brother Xue Zheng was already a handsome man. I can't believe there's someone so much better looking than him in this world."
"Who is he?"
"Ethereal Rapture hasn't had any guests for so many years. Could he be a new disciple that Senior Brother Xue brought back?"
"Is that true? That's great. If he really is our Junior Brother, I'll definitely guide him in his cultivation every day. "
The male cultivators were a little jealous at the sight of the enthusiastic female cultivators.
They looked at Chu Kuangren with hostility in their eyes.
However, as they looked at him, they were convinced.
"F * ck, I can't believe there's such a good-looking man in this world. If I were a girl, I'd sleep with him too."
"Actually, I think it doesn't matter if he's a guy or a girl. I just like good-looking men."
"Scram."
When Xue Zheng heard the disciples' discussions, he felt that Chu Kuangren's looks were even more terrifying than his cultivation level.
"Alright, Cai Yun, this is the Sect Leader's guest. We still need to meet the Sect Leader, so I'll talk to you later."
Xue Zheng said.
"The Sect Leader's guest?"
Cai Yun was stunned. 'Shouldn't the Sect Leader's guests be Sages? They're all so old after all.'
'How did such a young and good-looking man get involved with an old man like the Sect Leader?'
Of course, she did not dare to say that out loud.
While her thoughts were running wild, Xue Zheng had already left with Chu Kuangren and arrived at a palace at the top of the mountain.
There were a few elders in the palace. The one in the middle was dressed in a blue and white Daoist robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand.
That person was the Ethereal Rapture's Sect Leader, Master Daoist Yun Tao.
His cultivation level was the same as Sage Ruler Zhang Guang, a Sage Ruler.
Upon seeing Chu Kuangren, Master Daoist Yun Tao's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Junior Chu, your presence brings light to the Ethereal Rapture."
The rest of the elders looked at Chu Kuangren with different expressions on their faces.
In fact, they had no enmity with Chu Kuangren. However, his existence had affected the various unknown lands' fight for the Emperor's Opportunity, so they did not have a good impression of Chu Kuangren.
However, since Chu Kuangren did not do anything out of line during his visit to the Ethereal Rapture, they could not do anything to him.
"Greetings, Brother Yun Tao." Chu Kuangren smiled.
