Chapter 744 - The Battle Begins (2/2)

They took a boat to travel upstream the Fury Dragon River and arrived at Kunwu Mountain on the third morning.

“Humph. Those are just legends. The Realm of Kunxu is huge, no one could have created it. Plus, how tall do you think the G.o.d of Kunwu would have to be, to be able to create the Fury Dragon River with a blade?”

The Princess of the Southern Kingdom snorted.

Qi Xiu’er scowled and grew silent.

She loved to listen to the elders’ stories, letting them come alive in her mind. However, no one knew if those stories were real or not.

“Phew.”

A wild gale came up.

Chen Fan stood at the bow of the boat; he kept looking at the distant mountain as he fell into deep thoughts.

Chen Fan knew that creating a world was not uncommon among powerful beings in the universe. He had seen with his own eyes how a cultivator who towered a few hundred thousand meters in height created a river with one hack of his weapon.

Even the body of a Kun Peng was the size of a galaxy and could swallow the sun.

However, those who could reach such immense sizes were of Nascent Soul levels if not Soul Formation.

“The G.o.d of Kunwu could be a Nascent Soul cultivator if not a Grand Cultivator at the Soul Formation level. He might still be alive since Grand Cultivators can live for eternity. He could still be alive somewhere else, even after the Earth is no more,” Chen Fan pondered.

Meanwhile, many factions and families had gathered at the mountain, most of them were traveling on the river.

The mighty Fury Dragon River was filled with all kinds of boats and yachts from bank to bank. There were s.h.i.+ps with iridescent sails, and others were dragon-shaped. Some were as long as a hundred meters in length.

“Wooowoooo…”

The s.h.i.+ps blew their whistles, signalling each other about the arrival of a tiny and humble junk boat covered in dark fabric. The mighty fleet was split in the middle, making way for the small boat. Despite the huge waves, the boat traveled steadily upstream and toward the mighty mountain.

Chen Beixuan had arrived!

On a ten meter long black s.h.i.+p, a girl in a black outfit pouted her lips and said, “Is that Chen Beixuan? He looks so… ordinary. Who rides a junk boat anyways? He looks like a half-wit.”

The old man beside her pulled a taut face as he replied, “Be careful with your words, Yunmo. Exalted Immortal Chen is a force to be reckoned with. He could annihilate the Black Water Sect with the flick of a finger. We need to keep quiet and stay low for a while after the death of your Uncle-Master in the mortal world.”

“Yes, Master.”

The girl lowered her head. She remembered her good friend Xiao Wu who had also been killed in the Mortal world.

Many people watched the young man in a black outfit and felt strange emotions in their hearts. They found it hard to reconcile the young man’s ordinary appearance with his fame.

Meanwhile, many sect masters felt jealous.

They had cultivated for hundreds of years and only hoped to reach the Earth Level Deity realm. However, Chen Fan had nearly claimed the seat of power in Kunxu at the early age of twenty.

“If he could be victorious in this fight, He may well keep the entire Kunxu under his boots for the following five hundred years,” the sect master of the Red Dust Sect lamented.

Many people around her nodded in agreement.

When Chen Fan arrived at the foothill, the Azure Mystic Sect Master had yet to show up. So, he picked a large clean stone to sit down and wait.

Everyone waited with him expectantly.

Swish, swish, swish.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed across the sky.

Each flash of light was a sage who lorded over a part of Kunxu. They were either sect masters or elders. They had travelled in splendid s.h.i.+ps or magnificent mounts.

However, they got down as soon as they neared Kunwu Mountain in order to show respect to the two mighty combatants.

“That’s daddy, he is here!” the Princess of the Southern Kingdom shouted.

A large flying s.h.i.+p floated in the sky.

The s.h.i.+p was decked out with all kinds of gems and precious stones. Looking from afar, it looked like the legendary treasure boat of the Dragon King. Many alluring girls covered with scant clothing bantered amongst each other as they waved salaciously at the crowd. There was a large man in a golden robe with them. It was difficult to tell at first glance that inside the morbidly obese body was an otherworldly sage. He was the lord of the southern kingdoms: the Fire Spirit King.

The Fire Spirit King put on a large smile after he noticed Chen Fan. Then he shouted at him, “Son-in law!”

The Fire Spirit King acted as if his daughter had already married Chen Fan. He even invited Chen Fan to stay on the s.h.i.+p with him, casting a few quick knowing glances at the hot girls on deck.

However, Chen Fan refused.

“Humph… the apple doesn’t fall far from the branch.”

Qi Qingwei pouted and rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, a blaring roar of thunder was heard in the sky as seven rays of light raced across the s.p.a.ce toward Kunwu Mountain. Even before they landed on the mountain, people could already feel the deadly energy they carried.

Everyone’s faces became serious as they watched on expectantly.

The Seven Exalted Sects had arrived.

The battle was about to begin.
