Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 85: My Daoist Heart Is As Solid As Rock, It’s Just But A Slight Breeze

‘The Taixu Temple Lord wants to mentally spar with Chu Kuangren?’

The moment those words came out, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone present.

What was the Taixu Temple Lord’s full identity?

Being the leader of the sage orthodoxy and an Honorable Supreme, the Taixu Temple Lord’s fame was known throughout the Azure Dragon Domain. Everywhere he went, he was revered.

Yet such a well-distinguished person wanted to mentally spar with a young junior?

‘When word spreads about this, it will shock everyone to death.’

Even Chu Kuangren froze for a while when he heard the Taixu Temple Lord’s words. No matter how he thought about it, Chu Kuangren still felt that the Taixu Temple Lord wanted to vent his anger on him.

‘Not bad, he knows how to fight back for the weak.’

Chu Kuangren chuckled and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.

The Taixu Temple Lord was not mistaken. Chu Kuangren had gone through multiple sessions of Daoist enlightenment, and on top of the Meditational Clarity Trait that he had gained, he had become ever more deeply in tune with his understanding of Daoism. Compared to his peers, Chu Kuangren had long surpassed all of them in leagues.

No, even the experienced senior cultivators could not hope to compete with him too.

Chu Kuangren knew that he would not be able to gain much understanding and insight into Daoism if he continued to mentally spar with the cultivators of his generation. So only by mentally sparring with top-notched cultivators would he be able to gain tremendous insights.

The Taixu Temple Lord was undoubtedly someone like that.

“A junior like me will not dare to refuse the Temple Lord’s invite.”

Chu Kuangren smiled gently.

“Very well. Then I shall wait for you in the Distant Day Palace Hall tomorrow.” With a simple smile, the Taixu Temple Lord bowed and left.

As he turned around to leave, a hint of regret flashed past the Taixu Temple Lord’s eyes.

‘Sigh, I was too impulsive, just too impulsive.’

A high and mighty Honorable Supreme like him actually proposed a mental sparring match with a young junior cultivator. If word were to spread about this, he would be embarrassed to death.

However, since those words had been spoken, he had no way of turning back.

After the Taixu Temple Lord and others left, the Seventh Forefather frowned. “Hey kid, do you truly intend to mentally spar with the Taixu Temple Lord?”

“Naturally yes, of course. This is a great opportunity for me to properly witness and learn about the Taixu Temple’s Fully Realized Daoist techniques.”

“The Taixu Temple Lord is still an Honorable Supreme, kid. There aren’t many who can match his level of understanding in the Dao. Although your life won’t be in danger during the mental sparring match, I’m afraid it’d cause damage to your Daoist core if the difference is too great.”

“My Daoist core is as solid and unshaken as a rock!”

Chu Kuangren chuckled with confidence.

His level of understanding in the Dao was more or less on par with an Honorable, so even if the Taixu Temple Lord’s level of understanding in the Dao was much higher than him, it would not affect his Daoist heart.

“Very well.” The Seventh Forefather nodded.

…

Within half a day, everyone knew of Chu Kuangren’s mental sparring match with the Taixu Temple Lord, and countless people were very shocked upon hearing it.

For a moment, everyone in Taixu Temple was talking and discussing it.

“An Honorable Supreme will be mentally sparring with a junior Paradise Realm cultivator? Is the world mad? Or am I mad instead?”

“Bloody hell! This Chu Kuangren is b*d*ss!”

“I heard that Brother Wuchen also went to mentally spar with Chu Kuangren, but he failed miserably in the end. Do you suppose the Temple Lord is venting out his anger for Brother Wuchen?”

“It could be possible, based on the Temple Lord’s character.”

“You’re right. I heard somewhere that a few decades ago, Brother Wuchen was injured by an Honorable while he was traveling down the mountain to gain experience in cultivation. The Temple Lord was so enraged that he immediately went to that Honorable Orthodoxy and brutally killed him on the spot.”

“Tsk tsk, no matter what, the fact that Chu Kuangren is going to mentally spar with the Temple Lord is just too shocking. I have to go witness that match tomorrow.”

“I’ll be going as well.”

“Me too.”

In the grand pagoda.

The Taixu Temple Lord and a few elders were gathered there in the discussion.

“My lord, are you insane? Do you remember your identity? How can you seek out a young junior to mentally spar with?” One of the elders bluntly remarked. Since he was the only one who had a good relationship with the Taixu Temple Lord, only he dared to speak in that manner.

The other elders did not express their opinions directly like that, but their gazes spoke of dissatisfaction. They all felt that the Taixu Temple Lord had gone a little overboard.

The Taixu Temple Lord said calmly, “Chu Kuangren is an amazingly talented person. Don’t all of you want to find out where his limit is?”

“My lord, do you mean… This is just to test him?”

“Yes. It may only be a mental sparring match unlike actual combat, but if I were the one doing it, I can at least get a proper grasp of that kid’s true strength.”

“But it’s not necessary for you to do it yourself though.”

“Ling Zheng has told us before that this kid is able to kill an Honorable. This means that his understanding of the Dao is comparable to an Honorable. Only I can be assured to complete this task,” the Taixu Temple Lord replied indifferently.

“So that’s how it is.”

Only then did the elders’ dissatisfaction disappear.

Upon seeing that, the Taixu Temple Lord was relieved.

‘I guess I finally explained my way out of that one.’

In actuality, he never thought much about it when he proposed the mental sparring match to Chu Kuangren. All he wanted was to vent out his anger for his disciple.

However, now that he thought of it, even if Wuchen Zi was not the underlying factor for him to do so, he should still take action himself to test Chu Kuangren’s limits instead.

“Chu Kuangren…”

“I shall look forward to your performance tomorrow.”

The Taixu Temple Lord murmured.

…

The second day.

The Distant Day Palace Hall was filled with cultivators from the Taixu Temple. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the mental sparring match that had the greatest power disparity difference in the world.

An Honorable Supreme, and a junior Paradise Realm cultivator.

“It’s about to start. This really is exciting.”

“Where’s Chu Kuangren, has he arrived yet?”

“Look, he’s here.”

At that moment, at the end of the crowd, the white-robed, fairy-like Chu Kuangren was slowly walking towards the hall with Lan Yu beside him.

The way he walked in slowly had a calmness to it.

Behind him, Lan Yu followed suit when she noticed her Master doing that.

The man and woman pair instantly attracted the gazes of everyone present in the hall. Even the great cultivators who had thousands of years of cultivation could not help but exclaim with shock at the sight of them.

His poised posture dazzled everyone around him.

Step by step, Chu Kuangren walked towards the Distant Day Palace Hall and saw that the Taixu Temple Lord was already waiting inside. He was sitting on a futon mattress with his back facing Chu Kuangren.

A glint of excitement was revealed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

How much would they differ in their Daoist techniques?

At that time, a figure suddenly walked out from the crowd. It was a young cultivator who wore a headband and had an eager look in his eyes.

“My name is Qingyun, a disciple of the Taixu Temple. Pardon me, Brother Chu, but I have a Daoist technique that I would like your guidance!” Following that, Daoist Rhymes appeared around that young cultivator’s body and formed into a sea of clouds. Then, a sun rose and a sudden golden light ray shot out towards Chu Kuangren.

That was the Daoist Rhyme from the Sunlight Overdrive Destruction Sage Technique!

“I’m Fengxuan of the Taixu Temple. Please allow me to demonstrate my Daoist Technique and learn from you!”

“I’m Qingxin from the Taixu Temple, please allow me to learn from you!”

Following that, multiple young cultivators walked out. Not using their spiritual power but only their Daoist Rhymes, all sorts of mysterious transformations were sent towards Chu Kuangren in one go.

Those people were among the younger generation of sky-prides.

They all respected Chu Kuangren, but they were also unsatisfied as well. Hence, they could not resist but launch out their attacks simultaneously towards him, with the intention to give him a feeling of defeat.

However, it was a shame that Chu Kuangren had no care for them as his gaze was set on the Taixu Temple Lord who was sitting in the center of the Distant Day Palace Hall.

As those multiple surges of Daoist Rhymes headed his way, the Sword of the Heavens appeared above Chu Kuangren’s head. The sword ray merely flashed once before the multiple surges of Daoist Rhymes were all blown away and shattered like smoke in a wind.

None of those attacks was able to land on Chu Kuangren’s body.

That gap in strength made the onlooking sky-prides uncontrollably shocked.

Their gap in strength compared to Chu Kuangren was just too great!

How could a firefly ever hope to compare with the brightness of a full moon night?

Once he had passed by a crowd of sky-prides, Chu Kuangren was at the entrance of the Distant Day Palace Hall. Lan Yu then waited at the entrance while Chu Kuangren walked into the palace hall without hesitation.

“I apologize for the behavior of my disciples. I’m truly embarrassed knowing that Junior Chu had seen this.”

The Taixu Temple Lord turned around and let out an apologetic smile.

Chu Kuangren was not bothered by it at all. Instead, he immediately sat on the futon mat opposite the Taixu Temple Lord. “It’s just a small thing, nothing to worry about.”
