<h4>Chapter 267: Marrow Cleansing Pool, Shang Qingxue Wants To Join The ck Heaven Sect, The Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler’s Ascension</h4>


    “Fifth Forefather, do you think I should do something to atone for our mistakes? Although Chu Kuangren did let you go, there’s no guarantee he doesn’t resent us,” Bai Xueyun said with a frown.


    The higher one stood, the clearer they understood just how scary Chu Kuangren could be.


    His swift action, his iprehensiblebat strength, his terrifying influence — even a sage orthodoxy would think twice before provoking him. The Bai family was afraid that the lunatic would one day step foot into their ce.


    Bai Xueyun could not help but shiver upon recalling that he had once attempted to harm this lunatic’s friend. The next few nights would probably be a sleepless one for him.


    “Hmm, indeed.” The Fifth Bai Forefather contemted.


    “I shall make the necessary preparation immediately.”


    On the next day, Bai Xueyun had amassed arge pile of precious treasures and sent the Fifth Bai Forefather to deliver these gifts as an apology.


    However, they did not expect that Chu Kuangren and a few of them were already gone.


    …


    “Congrattions, Host! You’ve earned a Legendary grade Item, Marrow Cleansing Pool!”


    Marrow Cleansing Pool?


    Chu Kuangren opened the inventory and studied the description as his eyes brightened up.


    As the name suggested, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was a pool that could cleanse one’s marrow and enhance their bone structures.


    Whether it was a Daoist Physique or an ordinary physique, a cultivator’s bone structure would typically be fixed the moment they were born…


    Without manipting it, a cultivator’s bone structure would not undergo any changes until the day they die, so any items that could alter one’s bone structure were considered to be incredibly rare. Even within the scope of medicinal pills, only high-grade medicines such as Sage-grade medicine could achieve such a feat.


    Meanwhile, the Marrow Cleansing Pool could enhance one’s bone structure just by soaking one’s body into it. If such an item would be made known to everyone, it would surely cause a mess.


    Of course, despite its remarkable abilities, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was not without its limitations. For instance, if one’s bone structure was already in an excellent state, the marginal benefit would be minimal.


    However, it was also impossible for an ordinary Daoist Physique to emerge as a Supreme Daoist Physique after soaking in it. Such a feat was no doubt unachievable.


    All in all, the Marrow Cleansing Pool was still considered an impressive item. The ability to enhance one’s bone structure would grant any cultivator an extra hope to ascend into a higher realm!


    “With this, the ck Heaven Sect would surely produce many more capable warriors!” Chu Kuangren said excitedly.


    Although Chu Kuangren could not form Daoist Physiques through this item, it was still sufficient to enhance the bone structure of every disciple.


    Chu Kuangren was content with this gift, and all that was left was for him to return to ck Heaven Sect and to find a suitable spot for the Marrow Cleansing Pool.


    “Master, we’ll soon be arriving at the Shang n’s headquarter.”


    Lan Yu said to Chu Kuangren.


    “Oh, alright.”


    The Illusive Mirage was parked above the headquarters before the group unboarded the vehicle. Having received the news, the main n elders were already congregated in a hall.


    In the great hall of the Shang n.


    “From today onwards, Shang Long shall be chosen as the newest n leader of the Shang n. Is there anyone amongst you who object to this decision?” Chu Kuangren asked.


    The elders looked at each other and knew none of them would dare object.


    “We have no objections.”


    One of the elders said.


    “Very well.”


    With Chu Kuangren’s support, Shang Long’s transition into the Shang n Leader went smoothly. There were no dramatic quarrels nor there were any objections. It took only a few days before the entire affair was concluded.


    Before Chu Kuangren left.


    Chu Kuangren passed the Ancient Lou Sword and a wooden doll to Lou Yun and said, “This sword contains three strains of my sword qi, whereas this wooden doll contains one of my sword qi clones. Carry these two with you at all times and use it when you’re in danger.”


    The group gazed at Lou Yun’s items with envy.


    After all, these parting gifts from Chu Kuangren were enough to make Lou Yun untouchable in the Shang n. Even a Supreme Honourable would undoubtedly perish under Chu Kuangren’s single strain of sword qi!


    “Thank you, Sect Leader Chu.”


    Lou Yun received these items in panic.


    Shang Long then said from the side, “Sect Leader Chu, thanks to you, Qingxue has awakened the Deep Freeze Physique within her. I’m intending to send her to the ck Heaven Sect for further training. Would you be willing to ept her under your care?”


    Chu Kuangren looked deeply into Shang Long’s eyes. He knew that Shang Long’s decision was a way of him conveying his loyalty.


    Shang Long bing the n Leader was all thanks to Chu Kuangren, so Shang Long knew that maintaining a close rtionship with Chu Kuangren was of utmost importance.


    Sending Shang Qingxue to the ck Heaven Sect was simr to how a country would typically send an ambassador to another. It was a move to assure Chu Kuangren that he would have no ill intention.


    After all, if Shang Long’s daughter was in ck Heaven Sect, there was no way he would betray Chu Kuangren.


    Chu Kuangren peeped at Shang Qingxue and noticed only calmness on her face. There were no signs of coercion or helplessness at all.


    Evidently, she had long been aware of such a decision. In fact, she may even have discussed this issue with Shang Long before this conversation.


    “Of course. The ck Heaven Sect has its own set of entry tests to pass before one can enter. However, I won’t be returning to the ck Heaven Sect for the foreseeable future. If you’re truly keen on this decision, you may go ahead and participate on your own,” Chu Kuangren replied.


    To be honest, he did not care much about the intentions these people had. After all, with Chu Kuangren’s powers, there was no way they could escape from him should they choose to wrong him.


    “I’ll make sure I pass and join the ck Heaven Sect.”


    Shang Qingxue looked ahead determinedly.


    “Alright then, goodbye.”


    …


    After leaving the Shang n, Chu Kuangren continued to wander around.


    Just like he said, he was not returning to the ck Heaven Sect for the foreseeable future. Since he had stayed there for a year, it would be dull for him to return so quickly after finally leaving for just a few days.


    Instead, Chu Kuangren returned to the Royal Azure Dynasty, where he assisted the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler in creating several medicinal pills such as the Vibrant Rejuvenation Pills and the Spring Slumber Pills. These would ensure a safe ascension for the ruler.


    Soon, the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler began his ascension.


    Aspared to the ascension process that Honorable Xuan Qi went through, the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler required a far bigger defense. His army consisted of a million men strong had formed three defensive parameters around him, ensuring that no one woulde and disrupt the process.


    Meanwhile, several skilled cultivators were also watching from the dark.


    “Our Ruler is ascending, let’s not ck off and pay attention to everything.”


    “Of course.”


    “Watch out especially for those bastards from the Nine Head n.”


    “Hmph, if those Nine Head n members dare toe and disturb our Ruler, we’ll kill however many people they send!”


    “Let’s not loosen our guard.”


    The Nine Head n was a n of people who were at odds with the Royal Azure Dynasty.


    The people of the Nine Head ns typically lived in impoverished areas and had limited ess to cultivation resources. As a result, the people of Nine Head ns would often cause chaos in the Royal Azure Dynasty’s territories as they looted their resources. They were each other’s enemies.


    Now that the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler was going through ascension, it was entirely usible that the Nine Head n members woulde and make a mess of things.


    “Well, with that person here, I don’t think even a Sage would daree and attack us.”


    At that moment, one of the cultivators whispered.


    The other cultivators too looked to the top of a tower and could hardly suppress their excitement.


    In one of the pce’s towers, a breeze swept past the white-robed young man who had a delicate longsword strapped to his waist.


    Just one individual and one sword, silent and moving as if merging into the realms that existed between them.


    Such an unprecedented remarkable individual.


    Such an unparalleled sword.


    Behind this person, who stood on the city’s wall, came a thunderous boom as the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler unleashed a mighty aura during his ascension. Before this person, there was nothing but silence in the streets as no one dared to make a single move.
