Capital City, inside a restaurant.
Chu Kuangren was tidying up his Yin and Yang Ring.
He had obtained a lot of good stuff from the Secret Realm. Although most of it was given to Elder Ruyan to bring back to the sect, he still kept some for himself.
"Eh, this is …" Suddenly, Chu Kuangren let out a soft gasp.
While he was tidying up, he found a Yin and Yang Ring from the Black Light Sage's body and his eyes lit up.
How much good stuff would a Sage's Yin and Yang Ring contain?
Chu Kuangren opened it expectantly.
However, what he saw was an empty Yin and Yang Ring. There were only a few soulstones, a few bottles of medicinal pills, and some miscellaneous items.
"No way, is this Sage that shabby?" Chu Kuangren pouted and then carefully tidied up the ring.
He did not need to look at the medicinal pills and soulstones.
His attention was more on the miscellaneous items, which were a token, a jade scroll, and a few sets of clothes.
The token was black and very heavy in his hand. There was also an aura of death surrounding it. It was engraved with various patterns and the word 'Protector' was written on it.
Chu Kuangren remembered that when he used the Eye of Revelation to check on the Black Light Sage, he had extracted the words' Sacred Palace of Death '.
"What kind of force is this Sacred Palace of Death? I've never heard of it before, but with a Sage in charge, it must be something. "
Chu Kuangren thought to himself and kept the token.
Then, he picked up the jade scroll.
With a thought, a surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted and a large amount of information flowed into his mind like a torrent, forming three huge words … Gluttonous Devouring Technique!
This jade scroll actually recorded a Sage Technique!
Chu Kuangren had entered the state of Daoist enlightenment a few times, so his understanding of Daoism was already very profound, even comparable to an Honorable.
Although this Sage Technique was extremely exquisite, he had a rough understanding of the effects of this technique after looking at it for a while.
"So powerful!"
"This is definitely a Sage Ruler Technique!"
"It's a Sage Ruler Technique that's even more exquisite than the Human Mountain Stamp! I'm afraid it's very close to the legendary Emperor Technique. "
Chu Kuangren was shocked.
According to ancient legends, the Dragon had nine children, each of them different, and this Gluttonous Devouring Technique was one of them. It could devour all living beings to strengthen itself.
The Gluttonous Devouring Technique was derived from this ancient divine beast, Gluttonous Devouring Technique. It could devour the essence of cultivators' flesh and blood to increase one's cultivation level.
"Devouring others to strengthen oneself. That's quite strange."
"But this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you're not strong enough, you'll be bullied by others!"
Chu Kuangren thought to himself and made up his mind to cultivate this technique.
Before the martial arts contest began, Chu Kuangren gave Lan Yu and Li Xingchen some instructions before he went into closed-door meditation.
Since the Black Light Sage had cultivated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, the remnant Daoist Rhymes in his body would be of great help to Chu Kuangren in learning this technique.
…
Within the capital, everyone was looking forward to the Groom Search Competition.
This was especially true for the sky-prides, who were looking forward to obtaining the Godly Essence to break through their cultivation realms and surpass Chu Kuangren.
However, before the joust for a spouse even took place, they received a piece of news that incomparably infuriated them. The joust for a spouse … was canceled!
This infuriated everyone.
It turned out that they had come all the way from the Azure Dragon Dynasty, but they didn't even get to touch it. Instead, they were fooled by the Azure Dragon Dynasty.
Countless cultivators were filled with righteous indignation, demanding an explanation from the dynasty.
"I came all the way from the Azure Dragon Dynasty just to participate in the Princess's Groom Search Competition, and now you're telling me it's canceled?"
"Are you kidding me? Are you messing with us?"
"I didn't even get to see the Princess and it's already over?"
"What a scam!"
The sky-prides in the capital city were filled with complaints.
The cultivators from the ordinary orthodoxies were still fine since the Royal Azure Dynasty would distribute some soulstones to appease them.
On the other hand, the few sage orthodoxies were infuriated.
They needed to put in some effort to deal with this.
However, the Royal Azure Dynasty King was currently dealing with someone else.
…
Within the capital city, the Shang clan's Young Emperor had arrived.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King personally received him.
Princess Linglong had also appeared. When the Shang clan's Young Emperor saw the Princess for the first time, he could not help but be stunned by her beauty.
Princess Linglong, who was already incomparably beautiful, had an air of nobility in her every move. She was so high and mighty that people could only look up to her.
It was rare for the Shang clan's Young Emperor to be moved.
"Greetings, King, Princess." The Shang clan's Young Emperor bowed slightly.
"You're welcome, Young Emperor."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King smiled and brought the Shang clan's Young Emperor to the back garden. Without further ado, he immediately announced that he wanted to call off the marriage.
Hearing this, the elder who came with the Shang clan's Young Emperor's face darkened. He said, "Is the Royal Azure Dynasty toying with the Shang clan?"
The Shang clan's Young Emperor glanced at Princess Linglong and said, "Is there anything the Princess isn't satisfied with?"
"It's not the groom's problem, it's …" The Royal Azure Dynasty King paused and sighed regretfully. He then recounted what happened in the Luminous Moon's Hidden Realm.
"Now that my daughter is no longer chaste, she knows that she's no longer worthy of the Shang clan's Young Emperor. That's why she took the initiative to call off the marriage.
"I know that I'm in the wrong, so I've prepared a generous gift. I'll send someone to the Shang clan to apologize personally."
Hearing this, the Shang clan's Young Emperor's face darkened. He felt as if a green grassland had grown on his head.
Princess Linglong's Godly Essence had been given to someone else!
Looking at the incomparably beautiful Princess Linglong, the Shang clan's Young Emperor forcefully extinguished the trace of love he had for her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more embarrassed he felt. It was as if there was a huge rock in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
He had wanted to use the Godly Essence to achieve a breakthrough, but now that everything had been destroyed, both as a man and as a cultivator, it was unbearable.
"Fortunately, the marriage between the Shang clan and the Royal Azure Dynasty is only known by our two clans. If we call off the marriage now, we can pretend that nothing has happened and we won't lose any face."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King continued.
From the beginning to the end, Princess Linglong did not say a word.
"Very well, very well!"
"Looks like you've arranged everything, Royal Azure Dynasty King. What else do we have to say? Elder, let's go! "
The Shang clan's Young Emperor suppressed his anger and left.
"Wait."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King stopped him. "I'll be holding a banquet in the palace today, inviting all the sky-prides to explain the sudden cancellation of the marriage by combat. If the Young Emperor is interested, you can come as well."
"Will Chu Kuangren be there?"
"He should be."
"Alright, I'll be there."
The Shang clan's Young Emperor said coldly.
In the garden, only Princess Linglong and the Royal Azure Dynasty King were left.
"Father, will the Shang clan really let this go?"
Princess Linglong asked.
"I've already prepared a generous gift. The Shang clan's higher-ups are not stupid. Although this will affect the relationship between both parties, there won't be too much of a conflict," the Royal Azure Dynasty King said.
"Then … what about the Black Heaven Sect?"
"I've already discussed it with Honorable Xuan Qi. From today onwards, Chu Kuangren will not only be a Daoist of the Black Heaven Sect, but also the Royal Azure Dynasty's Fiancé. As for when the wedding will take place, it's all up to you."
