Chapter 203: Slaying The Demonic Beast, Spring Breeze Healing Technique, Supreme Honorable Foundation Level
Restrained by the Soul Retriever, the soul of the three-headed hound was so desperate to break free that the Soul Retriever started to tremble.
"Oh, no doubt this beast has the soul of a Sage Ruler alright. Even with so much of its soul energy sucked away, it can still struggle about so energetically."
Chu Kuangren raised his eyebrows as he imbued more spiritual power into the Soul Retriever. Only after doing so did the beast's soul held steadily in place.
"Let me go! I order you to let me go right now!"
Although the three-headed hound kept on roaring, it still could not break free from the Soul Retriever's bondage.
Since the Soul-Devouring Dagger had absorbed too much of its soul energy, and on top of the fact that it was now setting its soul alight as a power-up, the three-headed hound had already exhausted more than half of its soul energy reserves. No matter how it tried to struggle, it still could not break free from the Soul Retriever!
In addition to the Soul Retriever's grim and chilling qi which seemingly had a soul-numbing effect, it caused the beast's soul energy to deplete much further.
After quite a long while, Chu Kuangren tugged the Soul Retriever strongly and the Sage Ruler's soul disintegrated on the spot, disappearing from the world right then.
"Phew, it's finally done," The White Lotus School's Sage said with relief.
The white lotuses that filled the skies soon disappeared as well.
Since the huge white lotus, which was formed from the condensation of countless Daoist patterns, was already on the verge of collapse due to the collision with the demonic qi, it eventually started to break apart after the White Lotus School's Sage withdrew her spiritual power. Cracks started to appear before it shattered into numerous shards of light.
As for the three-headed hound that lost its soul, its body laid on the ground, void of life. However, some remnants of ferocious demonic Qi still lingered on its body.
"Greetings, Brother Chu."
The White Lotus School's Sage came before Chu Kuangren and bowed with a fist salute.
"Greetings to you as well." Chu Kuangren reciprocated the same gesture.
"Brother Chu, I'm very grateful for your help. Otherwise, there's no telling how bad things would've gone this time."
"I'm just glad to help. Besides my identity as the Supreme Elder of the White Lotus School, your White Lotus School and my Black Heaven Sect are allies. How can I just sit back and watch without lending assistance?" Chu Kuangren said.
After that, he looked at the three-headed hound's corpse, his eyes beaming with interest.
To him, that corpse was a great treasure!
There was no telling how much blood and flesh essences could be produced by a demonic beast of the Sage Ruler class. It might even help him build up a Supreme Honorable Foundation Level.
Upon noticing Chu Kuangren's interest in the three-headed hound's corpse, the White Lotus School's Sage said, "Since Brother Chu has helped my School of White Lotus this time, saving millions of beings in the country, I don't know how we can properly display our gratitude. Brother Chu, you can take the demonic beast's corpse if you're interested in it."
"Ha, don't mind if I do then." Without acting pretentiously, Chu Kuangren immediately kept the corpse of the three-headed hound in his Yin and Yang ring.
The White Lotus School's Sage smiled gently. Although the corpse of that Sage Ruler demonic beast was extremely valuable, the fact that it originally came from the Underworld Demonic Realm meant that its body was full of demonic qi and it would be useless to us. In that case, they might as well give it to Chu Kuangren as a token of gratitude.
Yet not only was it a way to say thank you, but it was also a means to strengthen the relationship between both parties.
Even a Sage like her could not ignore the amount of talent, skill, and strength that Chu Kuangren displayed. Under such a situation, she might as well take the opportunity to ensure that as well.
"Master."
At that moment, Lan Yu flew to Chu Kuangren's side.
"Most of the demonic qi has already been nullified, leaving only some small amounts which are being dealt with by Senior Qing Lan and the others. I believe it shouldn't take long before everything is completely back to normal," Lan Yu said.
"Alright, that's good to know. "
"Despite the demonic beast breaking the seal, at least it ended without much mishap or trouble," the White Lotus School's Sage said. She was utterly relieved.
"Many thanks to you, our Bachelor Sage!"
"We shall never forget the Bachelor Sage's great kindness."
"May the Bachelor Sage's merits be boundless..."
Numerous civilians gradually walked out from both sides of the streets, kneeling and bowing before Chu Kuangren with much sincerity.
Although they did not know that Chu Kuangren was already the School of White Lotus's Supreme Elder, he would always have a place in their hearts, no matter if he was the Bachelor Sage or the Supreme Elder.
Chu Kuangren noticed that some of the civilians were in ragged clothes, some looked exhausted, and some were also injured and bleeding non-stop...
However, they still knelt before Chu Kuangren despite all that, and their eyes gazed at him with utmost gratitude.
Chu Kuangren then took a step forward as a mysterious Daoist Rhyme seeped out from his body.
Mixed with a gentle spiritual power, that Daoist Rhyme spread through the air like a spring breeze, wafting past everyone present at the scene.
The originally exhausted crowd suddenly became energized, while the injuries of the injured ones healed rapidly and they recovered. Even those who had some illnesses within them felt their bodies had become more relaxed and comfortable after that.
"My wounds are healed."
"Same here. I've suffered all these years because of this rheumatism in my legs, yet now it's all gone. I can move freely now. That's just amazing."
"It's the Bachelor Sage. He's the one who did it."
"Thank you Bachelor Sage, thank you Bachelor Sage..."
Chu Kuangren smiled delightfully as he looked at the healed crowd. "It seems like this Spring Breeze Healing Technique is quite useful huh."
The Spring Breeze Healing Technique was an Emperor Technique recorded in the Eternal Emperor Scripture. It was used to commonly restore the user's vitality.
However, that Emperor Technique was of little use to Chu Kuangren because of his Immortal Body ability, hence he did not study it that much.
At the looks of it now, it seemed like although that technique was not useful for him, it would be a great choice in using it to save others.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu walked through the streets as surges of Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body and swept through the crowd like a spring breeze. Wherever his Daoist Rhyme reached, it restored and healed every being it touched, including those who were injured in this disaster.
That very scene was akin to a God carrying out a miracle!
Numerous people who knelt on the ground continuously bowed their heads towards Chu Kuangren who was getting further away from them.
Within a short moment, Chu Kuangren's position in the hearts of the people in the Full Moon Kingdom rapidly rose. He was even comparable to the White Lotus Sage Ruler now.
The White Lotus School's Sage could not help but shake her head and lament at the sight of that. "Although decisive when it comes to taking the lives of his enemies, this boy is still kind and noble. With his God and king-like temperament, as well as his talents, the fact that such a person exists is truly unbelievable."
Her intention to form and strengthen a good relationship with Chu Kuangren was further solidified.
...
After dealing with the demonic beast, Chu Kuangren did not return to the Black Heaven Sect immediately. Instead, he decided to find a secluded place in the School of White Lotus.
"This dagger is an interesting one."
Chu Kuangren fiddled with the Soul-Devouring Dagger that he took from the three-headed hound's body. Since it was related to soul energy, he knew how extraordinary that dagger was then, hence he kept it inside his Yin and Yang Ring, planning to refine it again when he had spare time in the future.
As for now, he intended to refine the three-headed hound's corpse and breakthrough into the Honorable Realm!
He spent a total of ten days in closed-door meditation this time!
The flesh and blood essence of the three-headed dog was so mighty. Chu Kuangren suspected that an ordinary Sage Ruler would not have as dominating flesh and blood essence.
Having spent ten whole days just to refine the three-headed hound, the amount of flesh and blood essences he got from the demonic beast was immeasurable. Adding that to the various treasures and items he got from the Fantasy Roulette, he would instantly be able to build up a Supreme Honorable Foundation Level in one fell swoop!
Rumble... Crackle...
The void started to tremble that very day.
A surge of mysterious Daoist Rhyme emanated from the location of Chu Kuangren's closed-door meditation. Above the firmament, waves of Daoist Rhyme began to reverberate.
Every cultivator from the School of White Lotus was startled by that occurrence. Even the Sage could not help but tremble and look toward Chu Kuangren's closed-door meditation location.
A large amount of spiritual energy gathered in the air above Chu Kuangren's closed-door meditation location and formed into a huge, substantive spiritual energy vortex. The amount of spiritual energy was so dense that the surrounding air had a sticky feeling.
It almost seemed that water might drip out from that vortex anytime.
The cultivators who rushed to the scene were shocked by the dense spiritual energy there as well.
Following that, something that shocked them even more happened.
A series of Daoist patterns appeared and swirled in the air above Chu Kuangren's location, gradually forming into an ancient golden rune!
Each of those runes was formed and outlined through a natural and mysterious process.
"One, two, three... Nine pieces of runes!"
One of the cultivators gulped and said in shock.
Then, everyone saw the nine runes that were carved from a single stroke begin to combine, eventually turning into an ancient and majestic talisman!
The rune talisman radiated with a bright golden light with Daoist Rhymes surrounding it as if it was interpreting the principles of Daoism across the skies.
"Nine Piece Daoist Talisman! The Supreme Honorable Foundation Level!"
