Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Senior Brother Zhao is still on Gold Peak Mountain, so I came back first," Chu Hao said.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was greatly disappointed. Having only Chu Hao come back was of no real use. Just over two months ago, he had become a martial master, and if a real fight broke out, he could only be a burden that they would have to protect.

Chu Hao didn't make any excuses and simply said, "I'm going to visit Senior Sister Fu first."

Actually, he had become an Inner Sect Disciple before Fu Xue, so by rights, he should call Fu Xue his junior sister, since the seniority among Inner Sect Disciples is determined by the ranking list. Although his ranking hadn't changed, Fu Xue's definitely hadn't either, so she naturally ranked after him.

However, he had already gotten used to calling her senior sister and didn't plan to change it.

He arrived at a side room and saw Fu Xue, who was wrapped all over in bandages, lying on the bed like a mummy.

Sss, she's injured this badly?

Although those people outside were also injured, they could at least run and jump around. The sum of their injuries probably wasn't as severe as hers alone.

Chu Hao chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, why is it that every time I see you, you're lying on a bed?"

"Ptui, you try fighting against six people, each with a higher cultivation than yours. Would you not be lying down?" Fu Xue's spirit was quite good; she could still trade barbs with Chu Hao.

Truly worthy of the name Female Tyrannosaurus, so fierce.

Chu Hao turned to Tang Xin and said, "Close the door."

The Female Tyrannosaurus immediately glared and said, "What are you trying to do? Don't think just because I'm like this that if you dare to take liberties with me, I won't beat you into a pig's head."

Chu Hao snorted and said, "You should take a look in the mirror. With your current state, could I possibly make a move?"

"Are you disgusted by me?" Fu Xue was displeased again.

Tang Xin held back a laugh and closed the door.

With a wave of Chu Hao's hand, a large pile of Star Stones suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Whoa!" Flying Fire immediately pounced over, spread its limbs to hug all the Star Stones, and its eyes became filled with greed.

"So many Star Stones, did you turn into a thief?" Fu Xue was also very surprised.

"That's none of your business," Chu Hao said with a smile. "Senior Sister, you've now broken through to martial master and can absorb the power of Star Stones. Now is the time when you need Star Stones."

"Eh, are you trying to kill me with money?" Fu Xue also smiled, "Let's get one thing straight. I won't repay your kindness by offering myself to you. At most, when I return to Eastern Cloud City, I'll find you a few more wives."

"Deal," Chu Hao said with a wave of his hand. "You should first find yourself a man who can tolerate you."

"Psh, I'm as beautiful as a flower. Isn't finding a husband an easy task? Just pretend to be a delicate lady at the beginning, and after marriage, will he be able to turn the tables?" Fu Xue said disdainfully.

She had already thought it through a long time ago.

"Tang Xin, come over here too." Chu Hao beckoned Tang Xin, and after she sat down, he said, "During my trip outside, I obtained a Cultivation Technique called the Minor Formless Mysterious Skill. It has no attribute requirements for the physique, and now I will pass this Technique on to you."

"Minor Formless Mysterious Skill?"

"No attributes?"

Fu Xue and Tang Xin were not newcomers; they knew that attribute-less Cultivation Techniques were generally synonymous with 'trash,' such as the Seven Star Jue taught by Yunliu Sect.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "The Minor Formless Mysterious Skill is a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique."

"Pfft!"

Fu Xue and Tang Xin simultaneously spluttered in shock.

An Earth Level Middle-Grade Technique was incredibly startling; even Yunliu Sect couldn't produce one.

"Chu Hao—" Fu Xue's voice turned serious. "Have you thought this through? Do you really want to pass on such a divine technique to us?"

"Yeah, owning an Earth Level Middle-Grade Technique is enough to start a sect, and in a few years, it could become a top power in Tianhe County," Tang Xin also said.

They didn't want to reject an Earth Level Middle-Grade Technique, but their friendship with Chu Hao had surpassed their own greed.

Chu Hao smiled and replied, "Later, once you two have obtained a Heaven Level Technique, you can pass it to me, and we'll be even."

Heaven Level Technique.

Fu Xue and Tang Xin both rolled their eyes but also understood that Chu Hao had made up his mind and had thought it through thoroughly.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you sure you're not hoping for me to repay you with my body?" Fu Xue joked.

"You might as well call yourself 'big brother;' I think that suits you better," Chu Hao also laughed.

"Get lost!"

After a bit of joking, Chu Hao's expression turned serious and said, "There's no need for me to spell it out; you should know the importance of an Earth Level Technique. Thus, this Technique should only be memorized in your minds, never to be written down."

Fu Xue and Tang Xin both nodded; if someone found out they were cultivating an Earth Level Middle-Grade Technique, they would never have a peaceful day again.

—Unless their strength reached the level of a War General, so that those weaker than them wouldn't dare to harbour ulterior motives, and those stronger would disdain such a level of Technique.

"So listen carefully," Chu Hao began to recite the incantation for Minor Formless Mysterious Skill, and also demonstrated the circulation of Star Force on a diagram of meridians, after all, a martial artist's room would definitely have such a thing.

Fu Xue and Tang Xin, having been selected by Madam Yun from Eastern Cloud City, naturally had outstanding comprehension. Although listening wasn't as easy as reading the words, after Chu Hao recited it three times, both had mostly memorized it.

It took about an hour for them to finally memorize the Technique without a single mistake.

Fu Xue could now switch to cultivating it, while Tang Xin would have to wait until he reached the Tenth Tier Martial Disciple and became a Quasi Martial Master.

Chu Hao nodded and declared, "Next, it's time for us from the Lower World to launch our counterattack."

"Are you going to challenge Pang Yi?"

"Hmm," Chu Hao nodded. He had originally planned to save this battle for the New Year, but now he had decided to take action earlier.

From the early stage of the Fourth Tier to the mid-stage of the Fifth Tier, with his combat power, he was fearless.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Tang Xin frowned and said. Chu Hao had just broken through to martial master two months ago, and it would already be a feat if he could reach the peak of the First Tier martial master now.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "I've eaten two Seven Flower Fruits. I'm now at the early stage of Fourth Tier."

Pfft.

Tang Xin was instantly dumbfounded. He hadn't even reached the Fourth Tier Martial Disciple level, and yet Chu Hao was already a Fourth Tier martial master. This was too much of a blow.

Chu Hao left River Down Courtyard, took Flying Fire, and headed up the mountain.

Inner Sect Disciples formed alliances because once they left Yunliu Sect, they would be the pillars of various families. Hence, disciples from powerful backgrounds would only ally with each other, but never truly unite.

Like Pang Yi, who was an outstanding member of the Pang Family, those who supported him as the leader either came from ordinary backgrounds or were vassals of the Pang Family.

Therefore, Pang Yi's influence was called the Pang Sect, and their courtyard was situated slightly higher than the Upper River Sect. Here, the higher the dwelling place of the Inner Sect Disciples, the stronger their power reflected.

At the top of the mountain lived the Top Ten Core Disciples; other Inner Sect Disciples simply didn't have the qualifications to go up there.

"Pang Sect." Chu Hao stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard and looked up at the signboard hanging above. Next to him were Fu Xue and Tang Xin. The Female Tyrannosaurus wouldn't miss such a good show; she propped herself up with a crutch and insisted on coming along, while Tang Xin was risking his life to keep her company.

Chu Hao clenched his right fist and punched the signboard from a distance. The punch wasn't physical, but the force was intense, and with a snap, the signboard broke in two and fell to the ground, shattered.

"Who dares to cause trouble at our Pang Sect?" Immediately, more than a dozen people rushed out from the courtyard, surrounding Chu Hao and the other two with angry frowns.

"River Down Courtyard, Chu Hao." Chu Hao smiled lightly and said, "I've been indebted to you all in the past, and as the saying goes, it's only polite to return the favor. Today, I specially came to ask for guidance. Please be generous with your teachings, Senior Brothers."

"Bastard," these people roared in anger. Are you here to seek guidance? Who comes to ask for guidance and starts by smashing the host's sign?

Clearly, he had come to cause trouble.

However, according to the rules of Yunliu Sect, fights between forces were allowed, even group fights, but outnumbering an opponent was strictly forbidden—challenges in turns were acceptable, but ganging up was not.

"I'll be the one to instruct you," a disciple stepped forward, looking almost 30 years old.

Chu Hao didn't lack manners, he gestured with his hand and said, "After you."

"Wolf Tooth Fist." The disciple roared as he threw a punch to meet his opponent, his fist turning iron blue with surging Star Force, reflecting a cold metallic gleam.

A gold attribute physique.

Boom!

The disciple had just charged in front of Chu Hao when he suddenly bent forward, his face looking as if he was constipated, turning red in an instant. He had been kicked in the lower abdomen by Chu Hao and was sent flying back.

A bunch of tattered cloth flew through the air. He rolled several times on the ground, the cloth around his abdomen completely shattered by the impact, revealing a bright red footprint-clear and striking.

"Senior Brother Yang." The people from Pang Sect shouted in shock and anger.

"Isn't this kid just promoted from the Outer Sect?"

"Right, he even beat Mo Guxin to a pulp not long ago and was locked up for over a month; everyone in the Outer Sect knows about it clearly."

"But Senior Brother Yang is a Three Meridians practitioner; how could he lose?"

"Is this guy a monster?"

"Quick, go get the boss over here."

Someone went inside to call for reinforcements, and the rest kept their eyes on Chu Hao. Although they were all furious, none dared to attack him.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "I've got nothing else to do, all of you can come at me."

A Lower World dog dares to be so arrogant?

The people from Pang Sect looked at each other and took a step forward together, ready to attack. In the Sect, outnumbering an opponent warranted severe punishment, but if both parties agreed, then there would be no issue.

"Beat him up." The crowd rushed forward en masse.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Chu Hao also made his move, unleashing his Shocking Force. His lethality was terrifying. In less than five minutes, he had knocked out and stunned everyone. He piled the Pang Sect Disciples into a mound, and sat cross-legged on top of the heap.

Some time passed before Pang Yi and two other juniors came out from the courtyard. When he saw the human pile at the entrance, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

His grandma, they turned his followers into a human tower? How humiliating for him as the boss.

Damn it, who made the Pang Sect so weak overall? There was only one of them who was a strong Fifth Tier. If it were Cao Jingwen, he had seven lieutenants under him, each a talent of the Eight Meridians—one finger from any of them could suppress him.

The difference was not slight.

"So it's you," Pang Yi recognized Chu Hao at a glance. After all, no one who has just joined the Inner Sect has ever dared to challenge him before.

Chu Hao smiled lightly and said, "It seems our battle has to be brought forward."

"Chu Hao, you've only just joined the Inner Sect two months ago, how could you have improved so quickly?" Pang Yi paid great attention to this because not even spending all day in the Black Jade Pool could bring about such rapid advancement.

"Oh, I just ate two Seven Flower Fruits, that's all," replied Chu Hao casually. He had no intention of hiding this fact. After all, many people had seen it, and by keeping it a secret, it would only make others more covetous, thinking he harbored a great secret, drawing more trouble to himself.

Seven Flower Fruits?

What kind of luck does this kid have?

The people from Pang Sect all revealed expressions of envy and jealousy; even Pang Yi was no exception, wishing he could turn Chu Hao into a Seven Flower Fruit and eat him.
