A creak was heard.
The door to the room opened.
A familiar figure slowly walked out.
White robes, black hair, peerlessly handsome, and otherworldly!
An inexplicable aura instantly filled the air. At that moment, the wind stopped blowing, the clouds stopped moving, and everything fell silent!
It was as if a single person had caused the entire world to sink.
"Master …"
"Sect Leader!"
Lan Yu, Jun Yi, and the others could not hide their excitement.
The weather was clear on this day.
Chu Kuangren had come out of his closed-door meditation!
"So, he's Chu Kuangren!" Liu Yiqing's eyes narrowed as he looked at Chu Kuangren who had just come out of his closed-door meditation.
The person in front of him did have an otherworldly aura, but he could not sense any spiritual power fluctuations from his body.
It was as if he was just an ordinary person without any cultivation base. However, if he was really an ordinary person, how could he explain the runic greatsword just now?
What was up with this person?!
Did he break the Heavenly Punishment Seal?
However, Chu Kuangren did not seem to care about the situation in the Daoist Palace. He walked straight to the Descendant Self Sword, lifted it up, and stroked its blade with two fingers. The sword vibrated gently, and a clear sword hum could be heard.
"Thank you for guarding me for the past few years."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He tied the Descendant Self Sword back to his waist and slowly walked out of the Daoist Palace.
Lan Yu and the others immediately greeted him.
"Everyone, it's been a while."
Chu Kuangren greeted them and then looked at Liu Yiqing and Yin Li. He said, "Tell me, what are you here for?"
"To challenge you!"
Liu Yiqing took a deep breath and said coldly.
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and chuckled. "Challenge me? I haven't heard such words in a long time. "
He seemed to be a little emotional.
It had been a long time since he was challenged by someone.
Whoosh …
At that moment, Liu Yiqing took advantage of Chu Kuangren's emotional state and dashed out with a terrifying force from his palm.
Chu Kuangren sensed it and turned to look at him.
However, that one look caused Liu Yiqing's expression to change in an instant. A boundless and terrifying aura instantly enveloped his body.
That aura was not something a cultivator could emit.
This was … the pressure of the Heavenly Dao!!
At that moment, the handsome Chu Kuangren before him seemed to have transformed into the supreme Heavenly Dao in his eyes, suppressing all living beings!
How could this be?
How could a person emit the pressure of the Heavenly Dao?
Before Liu Yiqing's palm qi could even get close to Chu Kuangren, he was so frightened by the domineering aura in his opponent's eyes that it dispersed on the spot!
His legs turned to jelly, and he fell to his knees.
He had already suffered a crushing defeat before he even made a move!
How could he fight against the heavens!
"Oh, you're already kneeling?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"Chu Kuangren, have you really broken the Heavenly Punishment Seal?"
Liu Yiqing asked with a pale face.
"No, but if I want to defeat you, it doesn't matter."
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly. He then lifted his arm and an invisible ripple appeared. Lines of runes instantly formed in the void, which then turned into a ring of light that enveloped Liu Yiqing and his companion.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free.
Lan Yu and the others were very surprised by Chu Kuangren's move.
From the beginning to the end, they could not sense any spiritual ripple from Chu Kuangren's body. How could he activate the runes then?
"Take these two away first."
Not long after, Elder Ruyan, Fairfrost Sage, and the others received the news that Chu Kuangren had come out of his closed-door meditation, and they all rushed to the Towering Heaven Palace.
"Sect Leader, have you broken the Heavenly Punishment Seal yet?"
Elder Ruyan asked curiously.
"Not yet."
Everyone was disappointed when they heard that.
However, they were not too surprised.
They did not know how terrifying the Heavenly Punishment Seal was. Even the Emperors of Old could not do anything about it. Chu Kuangren had only been in closed-door meditation for three years, so it was not unacceptable that he could not break it.
"What's with your expressions? I said I haven't broken it, but it doesn't mean I can't." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"What do you mean? Is there a difference? "
"Of course, give me some more time, and this Heavenly Punishment Seal will be completely broken …"
After three years of closed-door meditation, with the help of the Tree of Enlightenment and his extraordinary level of understanding, Chu Kuangren had now fully understood the Nine-Layered Heavenly Punishment Seal. His Cauldron Physique had also refined eight layers of the Nine-Layered Heavenly Punishment Seal!
Only the last layer was left before he could completely break the seal.
However, Liu Yiqing and the others came to disturb him, so he had no choice but to come out early.
After hearing Chu Kuangren's explanation, Elder Ruyan and the others were so angry that their faces turned green. "Those two bastards deserve to die a thousand times."
"Sect Leader, I'll go and kill them now."
One of the hot-tempered elders said loudly.
"Come back here. They're just two small fries, there's no need to be so calculative. Although I came out early, I didn't lose anything. The Heavenly Punishment Seal can still be broken after some time."
Chu Kuangren said.
Only then did everyone calm down.
After that, Elder Ruyan reported to Chu Kuangren about the development of the Black Heaven Sect during this period.
With a large amount of resources, the Black Heaven Sect's disciples improved rapidly, and a few Daoists had also made a name for themselves in the outside world.
Meanwhile, Elder Ruyan, the Seventh Forefather, and a few other elders had also successfully ascended to the Boundary Sage Realm.
"It's alright. How's the resource consumption?"
"There's still a lot left."
Elder Ruyan said.
Chu Kuangren had brought back too many resources. Just the Serpent Deity's treasury alone was enough for the Black Heaven Sect to use for a long time.
Even though Elder Ruyan and the others had trained the disciples without caring about the cost for the past three years, those resources could not be used up so quickly.
For the first time in Elder Ruyan's life, she felt the pain of having too many resources but nowhere to spend them.
"Alright, I'll use as much as I can."
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
If those words were to spread, many people would be shocked.
After all, the other orthodoxies were meticulous in their use of resources. Unlike Chu Kuangren, who did not care about the cost and spent as much as he could?!
Was that something a human should say?!
"Nangong Huang and the others are probably out there. I wonder what's going on out there now," Chu Kuangren murmured as he looked into the distance.
He chuckled and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Elder Ruyan and the others' expressions changed when they heard that.
"Sect Leader, please reconsider."
"That's right, Sect Leader. Your Heavenly Punishment Seal hasn't been broken yet. If you go out now, what will you do if those people from before come after you?"
"You mustn't let anything happen to you."
The few elders tried to persuade him.
"Don't worry. Although my Heavenly Punishment Seal hasn't been fully broken, it's not like I don't have a way to protect myself."
Chu Kuangren slowly raised his hand, and the surrounding spiritual qi gathered. One after another, mysterious runes appeared in the void, densely packed together. Soon, they occupied half the sky and emanated an endless amount of domineering aura.
The scene before them shocked everyone, including the Sages, who stared at the countless runes with their mouths agape.
Chu Kuangren stood under the sky full of runes. There was not a single trace of spiritual power on his body, but his figure was unusually majestic and tall.
He was like an ancient rune emperor who controlled the world.
"If anyone wants to deal with me, let them. I, Chu Kuangren, am invincible even with the Heavenly Punishment Seal!"
