Heavenly Daoist Celestial Combat Unit?!
Chu Kuangren’s eyes brightened up as he immediately retrieved the item.
It was a greenish-ck… wooden dummy. In fact, it looked like the most ordinary wooden dummy one could find. It had no facial features at all too.
The abrupt appearance of the wooden dummy somehow shocked the little golden figure beside. It jolted backward and stared cautiously at the wooden dummy.
Heavenly Daoist Celestial.
As its name suggested, they were cultivators who were equals of the Heavenly Dao.
The fate of cultivators who ascended into this realm would no longer be subjected to the Heavenly Dao no matter which they went to.
Chu Kuangren observed the wooden dummy even more closely after noticing the Heavenly Dao figure’s reaction.
As if it had been shocked, the little golden figure went ahead and poked the wooden dummy a few times. When it noticed no responses from the wooden dummy, it ignored it and resumed devouring the Blood Origin Star’s Heavenly Dao.
Chu Kuangren touched the head of the wooden dummy, and a strand of thought flowed into the wooden dummy.
Then, countless mythical Daoist patterns swirled around the wooden dummy before it took after the appearance of Chu Kuangren.
Shocked by the peculiar scene, the little golden figure stopped munching on the Heavenly Dao Source.
Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thought was lingering around the wooden dummy. At that instance, Chu Kuangren and the wooden dummy were one.
He could feel a surge of formidable power seething within his chest, nourishing his body.
“What a remarkable power!”
“Is this how it feels like to be a Heavenly Daoist Celestial?”
Chu Kuangren eximed in awe.
He had a feeling that if he were to fight the Blood God again, he could probably finish him off within three moves without relying on the Timespace Treasure.
After familiarizing himself with the energy, Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thought returned to his original body. With that, the Heavenly Daoist Celestial Combat Unit resumed its appearance of a wooden dummy.
“With this Heavenly Daoist Celestial Combat Unit, the Firmament Empire is now a safer ce.” Chu Kuangren smiled as it petted the little golden figure.
Crunch.
The little golden figure took a big bite off the Heavenly Dao Source and nodded.
…
In theing days, Chu Kuangren busied himself with many internal affairs.
The new establishments of the Firmament Empire required much diligence and endeavors.
In a pce of the ck Heaven City.
Chu Kuangren was settling a couple of affairs concerning the Firmament Empire’s diplomatic rtionships with the yokais. The Firmament Empire had be the greatest force in Firmament Star. With the Daoist Celestials watching over the empire, the yokais would not be able to revolt against them.
Chu Kuangren was deep in thought as he stared at the vast sky outside his residence.
Elder Ruyan sighed as she approached Chu Kuangren. “My King, this is the seventh time I’ve caught you staring at the sky this month.”
“Heh, is that so?”
Chu Kuangren chuckled and did not deny.
“You feel like leaving.”
Elder Ruyan could see through what Chu Kuangren was thinking.
“Yes. Now that the Firmament Empire has been established, you and the Daoist Celestials can take care of the development of this empire. The universe is arge ce. I want to see what’s out there for myself. Besides, Zi will not stand by and do nothing since I’ve killed their Immortal Progeny. I need to be stronger quickly.”
“At the very least… I need to be an Immortal.”
Chu Kuangren nodded and said lightly.
The appearance of the Blood God had given him a sense of urgency.
In the vast universe, powerful cultivators were everywhere. So what if he was the King of Firmament Star? Perhaps in the eyes of an Immortal, he was just an insignificant being who could be crushed at any moment.
“If you wish to leave, just let the Daoist Celestials know. I’m sure they won’t hold you back,” said Elder Ruyan.
“I’ve been nning on doing so.”
Soon, Chu Kuangren gathered all the Daoist Celestials around.
Indeed, none of them had the intention to stop him from leaving.
“The King is the most likely one among us to be an Immortal. Unfortunately, we don’t have the resources necessary to nurture an Immortal. The universe may very well be ourst hope,” said the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.
He was the most agreeable with Chu Kuangren’s n to adventure outside this.
He understood that Firmament Star would need an Immortal in order topete with the rest of this universe.
After the Daoist Celestials agreed with his n, Chu Kuangren passed over all the empire’s tasks to Gu Linglong and Elder Ruyan. After all, Gu Linglong was once a queen of an empire herself and was experienced in managing one.
Before his departure, he left the Heavenly Daoist Celestial Combat Unit in the empire.
That was his greatest resource for the empire. The protection of a Heavenly Daoist Celestial would mean that civilizations like Zi would think twice before attacking.
“In my next return, our empire shall be the greatest force in this gxy!” Chu Kuangren muttered as he watched over the Firmament Star.
Then, he turned and left.
There was so much more that awaited him.
…
In the vast universe.
A lifeless crumbled inward as if it was devoured by aary devourer that resided in its core.
Eventually, the disappeared from radar.
A figure emerged in the void.
Chu Kuangren observed the power in his body. “My physical strength is getting closer to the Peak Stage of the Ster Undying Body.”
The Peak Stage of the Ster Undying Body required a lot of celestial energies. In fact, it required at least ten times as much as to reach its Expert Stage!
Chu Kuangren familiarized himself with his newly-formed energies for a brief moment before he summoned a warship and sailed forward.
It had been half a year since he left Firmament Star.
Throughout that time, he had been wandering across the vast universe.
asionally, he would stumble across a lifeless and consume it.
“Oh? A warship is approaching.”
On this day, Chu Kuangren scanned his surroundings with his Emperor Thought and realized that several warships were sailing towards him.
Was it a coincidence?
Could their intentions be friendly?
Chu Kuangren intended to observe first before he reacted. After all, it was his first encounter with beings of other civilizations in the past few months.
Soon, these ships had heavily surrounded Chu Kuangren.
Using his Emperor Thought, Chu Kuangren observed that on the decks of these warships were humans and some strange-looking yokai cultivators.
Chu Kuangren even saw a few of them with heads that took after the form of a squid.
“You in front, halt your warship!”
A massive golden-armored humanmanded with his Emperor Thought. He seemed to be the person in charge and was wielding a trident.
“What are you all nning to do, if I may ask?”
Chu Kuangren questioned politely.
“Oh, it’s a human cultivator, and a handsome-looking one too,” said a female yokai cultivator with surprise.
“Heh. I don’t care how attractive he looks. All I can see is that his ship is a decent one. There must be lots of treasure on deck.”
A squid-headed cackled and said.
Chu Kuangren overheard their exchanges and reacted strangely.
Did he just bump into a group of bandits?!
Interster bandits?!
“My dear human cultivator, unboard your ship and surrender all the items in your Yin and Yang Ring. We can spare your life.”
The golden-armored brute said.
Instead of answering him, Chu Kuangren just looked at the group of people. “Lil Ai, analyze what these strange creatures are.”
“Okay.”
The Omniscient Spirit disyed an array of information for Chu Kuangren. These people hailed from different civilizations.
Their cultivations ranged differently. Many of them were below the Emperor Realm, with a couple of Emperors and Heavenly Imperials mixed amongst them. However, there was no Daoist Celestial in their party.
The strongest cultivator amongst them was the golden-armored brute, who was an Upper-rank Heavenly Imperial.
Hmm…
What the hell gave them the courage to rob him?
