Chapter 2309
Daoist law energy swirled all over the Human Empress's body, and a dazzling golden pearl with a mysterious light around it formed in the void.
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up when he saw the pearl.
"A Daoist Law Pearl."
"It's the Creation Daoist Law Pearl."
The Daoist Law Pearl was an item Monarchs created using their Daoist law energy.
The item could help cultivators below the Monarch Realm comprehend their respective Great Daoist law, but it would be hard for ordinary Monarchs to create such an item.
That Creation Daoist law happened to be the most special one among the many Great Daos.
That was why it was suitable for any cultivator in the Grand Dao Realm to cultivate it.
However, a Daoist Law Pearl created by the Human Empress, a being who had reached a level beyond the Monarch Realm, was even more priceless.
If other Monarch Seeds were to obtain a pearl like that, they would have a chance of becoming a Monarch within a thousand years.
Chu Kuangren was not shy to take the Creation Daoist Law Pearl. "Human Empress, I believe you're not here just to see me, right?"
The Human Empress nodded. "I've come to see the Tempest King too."
She then looked at the Tempest King and asked, "Any progress on the task I entrusted you to do?"
The Tempest King took out a crystal.
There was a strand of aura flowing within it.
"This is the only clue I could find." She tossed the crystal to the Human Empress.
"This aura..."
The Human Empress looked at the crystal in her hand with surprise.
After that, she kept that crystal away without saying much. "Thank you for this. I hope you can keep the matter of my visit a secret too."
"I understand."
"How are you planning to deal with the infiltration of the foreign tribes?" Chu Kuangren suddenly asked.
Seeing that the foreign tribes had plotted against the human race, there was no way the three Adjudicators, who held supreme authority over the human race, would do nothing about it. "The Earthen Monarch has gone to settle this matter."
The Human Empress chuckled and looked at the wine on the table. "Can I have a drink?"
"Sure."
The Human Empress took the wine, and as soon as she drank it, her eyes lit up. "What a splendid wine."
Then, she turned around and left.
As she said, she only had one drink.
With the Human Empress gone, Chu Kuangren looked curiously at the Tempest King. "So, you know the Human Empress, huh? What did she ask you to do?"
The Tempest King told him everything, including every single detail.
It turned out that a long time ago, the Human Empress noticed that someone was stealing the fortune of the entire human race.
However, the three Adjudicators were sitting at the helm of humanity, and many pairs of eyes were watching their every move, making it hard for them to act. That was why the Human Empress secretly went to the Tempest King and entrusted her with that task.
"Something is fishy about this, and the mastermind behind the theft possesses extraordinary abilities. I've spent a long time investigating this, but the only clue I managed to find is just the tip of the iceberg," the Tempest King said frustratingly.
The tip that she mentioned was the strand of aura that she handed to the Human Empress.
"Stealing the human race's fortune, huh? Whoever it is, they must be quite bold," Chu Kuangren mumbled.
As the masters of the universe, the human race possessed a vast fortune, and many from the Infiniverse intend to replace them, including the Dragon Tribe, Celestial Divine Tribe, Spatial Tribe, Curse Tribe, and many more. There was a huge target on the back of the human race, and the potential threats were overwhelming.
Regardless, that matter was of utmost importance and could not be taken lightly.
"Whatever. I'm only a Grand Dao cultivator. I might as well let the higher-level beings worry about this for now," Chu Kuangren thought.
He had to become stronger as quickly as possible.
He set a goal for him to become a Monarch before he worried about everything else.
"Lan, I'm going to enter closed-door meditation for a while, and I'll leave the Pan Gu Sect in your care," said Chu Kuangren.
"Don't worry, Honorable Teacher."
"Of course. With you around, I don't need to worry."
The Tempest King was a top Monarch.
With her watching over the Pan Gu Sect, Chu Kuangren could not be more at ease.
"By the way, Honorable Teacher, how do you plan to deal with the curse mark on your hand?" The Tempest King looked at the cursed mark on the back of Chu Kuangren's hand and asked.
Xue Hou had placed the curse on Chu Kuangren after sacrificing his soul.
It was a Tracking Curse Mark.
"Oh, you mean this? There's no need to worry."
Chu Kuangren grinned as if he already had a plan to deal with the cursed mark.
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Great Hongmeng Universe, many Monarchs had gathered. They were Monarchs from the Dragon Tribe, Celestial Divine Tribe, and many other Hongmeng tribes. However, they did not seem to be in a good mood.
They had learned of what happened in the Human Ancestral Land.
"How did this happen? We were well prepared, so how did Chu Kuangren foil our plans and make a mess of it?"
"Damn it!"
Their anger was hard to quell.
This time, they had dispatched many Monarch Seeds to target the human race. However, except for Kong Chunyuan who was lucky to escape, none of them had expected the rest of the Monarch Seeds to die at Chu Kuangren's hands.
Chu Kuangren had single-handedly dealt a devastating blow to many tribes.
Having lost so many Monarch Seeds, it would be even harder for them to fight for the fortune energy in this era. One might even say that they no longer had the chance, and it was because of one man, Chu Kuangren.
"Chu Kuangren is truly a bane to us all."
"Everyone, let's think about how to deal with the human race next. I heard the Supreme Council has shown themselves this time."
"That's right. Those three Adjudicators aren't that easy to deal with."
The Monarchs' expression turned grimmer.
They were too greedy this time.
Not only did they fail to obtain the Human Ancestor's blood, but they also lost a lot of their Monarch Seeds.
Now, they even had to think about dealing with the Supreme Council's wrath.
The thought of it fueled their rage toward Chu Kuangren, who was responsible for causing all of this.
To think that a mere Grand Dao cultivator had incurred the rage of so many Monarchs.
Chu Kuangren was the first person to achieve that.
"Everyone, please help the Curse Tribe to hold back the Supreme Council's wrath. In return... we shall focus on killing Chu Kuangren!"
A man shrouded in black mist spoke up.
His name is Xue Tianjun, a Monarch from the Curse Tribe.
Everyone was surprised to hear him speak.
"How do you plan on killing Chu Kuangren?"
"So many Monarchs have tried and failed. Not to mention, the Tempest King is now guarding the Pan Gu Sect. Even if we all join forces, we're no match for her."
Xue Tianjun grinned and said confidently, "This might be true back then, but now, even with the Tempest King's protection, Chu Kuangren will die. No matter how powerful the Tempest King is, what can she do against the Curse Tribe's techniques?"
"You plan to kill Chu Kuangren using curses?"
"Hehe. That's right..."
The other Monarchs started pondering after hearing Xue Tianjun's words.
The curse techniques of the Cursed Tribe were well-known throughout the Infiniverse. It was so powerful and ominous that, if possible, even the Monarchs would dare not to provoke them.
If they were to put in their full effort to curse someone to their death, even a Monarch would find it hard to escape the fate of being killed.
If their plan to steal the Human Ancestor's blood were to succeed, they would proceed to hand it to the Curse Tribe, who would then use the blood as a medium to curse the entire human race.
However, that plan failed because of Chu Kuangren.
The Monarchs began to recall everything Chu Kuangren had done.
Thinking about it fueled their rage even more. "Very well. If the Curse Tribe has a curse to end Chu Kuangren's life, the rest of us shall help you to hold back the Supreme Council's wrath."
"That's right. Chu Kuangren must die!"
"So what if they're the Supreme Council? Do they think the Dragon Tribe can be messed with so easily? When the elder forefathers of the Dragon Tribe awaken, do they think we'll still be afraid of them?"
