"Brother Chu, this is your first time here, so I'm sure you must be unfamiliar with this fortress. How about this? Why don't you join my General's Residence? I can grant you the position of a commander. What do you think?" the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable said generously.
The bearded man's expression did not change much, but the other captains beside him could not help but be shocked.
"General, please reconsider."
"That's right. We're not doubting Brother Chu's ability, but Brother Chu is a newcomer without any battle merits. I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the others to accept the position of a commander."
"That's right."
The few captains objected to the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable's decision.
However, the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable's gaze turned cold. "What? Am I not even qualified to be a commander?"
"No, but General …"
"Enough. Brother Chu, you can do it if I say so."
The Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable looked at Chu Kuangren with a gentle expression. "Brother Chu, are you willing to accept this position?"
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before he shook his head and chuckled. "I'm not interested in the position. Besides, I've already decided to act as a lone soldier from now on. It's more comfortable for me to move around alone."
Lone soldiers were the weakest group in the extraterrestrial battlefield.
However, to Chu Kuangren, being a lone soldier had great advantages. First, he was unfettered and would not be bound by any rules. Second, he could move around as a lone soldier, which would increase his mobility and allow him to gain more experience on the battlefield. Moreover, he could enjoy any rewards that he gained.
This was a decision he made based on his confidence in his strength.
"Brother Chu, if you insist on this, then I'll have to respect your decision." Seeing that Chu Kuangren had rejected his offer, the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable, who was initially so confident, no longer persisted.
Chu Kuangren secretly curled his lips at that.
'You were acting like you must make me a commander just now.
Now you're giving up just like that.
'You should keep insisting if you have the guts. '
Chu Kuangren knew that the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable did not really want him to take over the position of commander. He was just testing him.
'Pfft, I've seen this kind of trick too many times. '
However, he did not plan to agree to it anyway.
"Brother Chu, although you don't want to take over the commander's position, you've just arrived. You should let me play the role of a host. Why don't you stay here? You can't refuse," Ghost Blade Heavenly Lord said.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
Chu Kuangren agreed right away. He was too lazy to find another place to stay if he could get a free ride. Besides, what place in this fortress could be safer than the General's residence?
"Men, bring Fellow Daoist Chu to rest."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Chu Kuangren left.
In the lobby.
Seeing that Chu Kuangren did not take over the position of commander, the few commanders could not help but let out a sigh of relief. It was not that they had anything against Chu Kuangren, but the fact that a newcomer had suddenly become a commander out of nowhere would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the subordinates. If things got out of hand, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
"Commander, what do you think we should do if Chu Kuangren really takes over the commander's position?" the bearded man asked.
"Let him be the commander then. As long as he can control the soldiers under him, it'll be fine. If he can't, I can easily take them back," the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable said calmly as if he had everything under control.
…
Inside a room in the General's residence.
Chu Kuangren was cultivating.
The spiritual qi in this fortress was not much different from the Nine Heavens and the Firmament World. After all, be it the Nine Heavens or the Firmament World, the spiritual qi in these two places originated from the boundless universe.
Chu Kuangren suddenly took out a green fruit.
It was the World Fruit that Seventh Torture had given him.
"Including this World Fruit, I've already tasted three of the Ten Great Spirit Fruits," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Not many people in this world were as lucky as him.
Out of the Ten Great Spirit Fruits, it was already a great fortune for a person to obtain even one.
It was not like him who could continuously consume them.
Gulp gulp …
Chu Kuangren quickly swallowed the World Fruit into his stomach. He clicked his tongue twice and then licked the juice off the corner of his mouth. "It tastes like a green apple. Sour."
Then, a mysterious energy erupted from within his body.
The Universal Cauldron Physique was activated!
Soon, the World Fruit's energy was completely refined by him.
Each of the Ten Great Spirit Fruits had their own functions.
The Divine White Spirit Fruit focused on epiphanies, the Divine Parasol Fruit was good at increasing one's cultivation, and the World Fruit contained Realm Energy.
After refining the Realm Energy, Chu Kuangren's understanding of the Divine Honorable Small Realm had deepened, and it had become much more stable.
Every time he used the Ten Great Spirit Fruits, it would be of great help to him.
That made him look forward to the other spirit fruits even more.
However, he also knew that these spirit fruits were hard to come by. It was already a great fortune for him to obtain three of them in a row.
However, he still had to hold on to some hope.
After all, no one could say for sure about things like Opportunities of Fortune.
On this day.
Chu Kuangren was using his Emperor's Thought to observe the entire fortress.
He was gathering some information.
With his telekinesis talent, his Emperor's Thought could see and hear, so he could know everything that was happening in the outside world without stepping out of his house.
During this process, his Emperor's Thought would occasionally interact with other Emperors' Emperor's Thought. After all, he was not the only Emperor in this fortress. Hence, it was not a big deal for them to greet each other.
It was just like how they would greet each other on the streets.
Suddenly.
He could sense a few Emperor's Thoughts converging in the air. They did not separate as if they were communicating with each other.
If they were unfamiliar Emperor's Thoughts, Chu Kuangren would not have bothered with them.
It would be as awkward as having a stranger ask them what they were talking about when he was chatting with a few friends.
However, among these Emperor's Thoughts, there were two that he was familiar with. They were Emperor Flying Snow and Golden Mystic Emperor.
Should he go up to them?
"Brother Chu, how are you?"
Just when Chu Kuangren was hesitating, Emperor Flying Snow's Emperor's Thought took the initiative to touch him and greet him.
"Brother Flying Snow, how are you?"
"We were just talking about something that might have something to do with you. Do you want to hear it?"
"Oh, I'm all ears," Chu Kuangren said.
"Ha, it's not a big deal. It's just that the General's Young General is about to return, and we're trying to think of a way to deal with him."
"The General's Young General? Is he the Ghost Blade Heavenly Honorable's son? "
"Nope, it's a girl. She's not the General's daughter either. I don't even know which generation she's from, but she's his most beloved descendant."
"Sigh, Brother Chu, you don't know this, but this Young General of the General's Residence is really something. He became a Sage at the age of thirty and an Emperor at the age of forty. Now, he's already a perfected Emperor at the age of fifty. This talent of his is definitely one of the best in the history of Firmament Star."
"That impressive?"
Chu Kuangren was shocked.
He was a Heavenly Honorable before he turned thirty.
However, that did not stop him from being shocked by his talent. A fifty-year-old Full Emperor was definitely rare in the history of Firmament Star.
"That's right. It's precisely because she's so impressive that this Young General has always thought highly of herself. Not only that, but she also has high expectations for others, especially her grandfather's soldiers. Every time she returns, she'll test us. If we don't meet her standards, we'll suffer."
The Emperors were a little troubled.
That made Chu Kuangren more interested in this General's Young General whom he had never met before.
