Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 93: Seventy-four Supreme Techniques, Four Sage Techniques, And A Single Sword Strike

“Master, your humble junior has a request.”

Chu Kuangren suddenly spoke after the match.

“Oh? Go on,” the Sect Master simply said.

“The Dharma Sect has the most techniques out of all the other Sects in the Azure Dragon Domain. The stele forest may only have methods, albeit eight thousand of it, but I’m sure plenty of Supreme Techniques and Sage Techniques also exist. Hence, I would like to take a look.”

Chu Kuangren smiled as he said.

The stele forest’s eight thousand methods were only used to assess disciples. After all, why would the Dharma Sect reveal its secrets so easily to other people?

Once those words left Chu Kuangren’s mouth, the faces of the elders present turned dark. They looked at Chu Kuangren with slight hostility.

“Junior Chu, remember your place!”

“Exactly! Supreme Techniques and Sage Techniques are the foundation of a sage orthodoxy. How could we just show it to you for no reason?!”

“Tsk, this request is simply too much.”

The Sect Master’s smile had vanished as well, but he believed that Chu Kuangren would not request something like this for no reason.

“Junior Chu, what do you have to offer in return?”

“Ah, Master is indeed sharp.”

With a smile on Chu Kuangren’s face, a magical and concentrated Daoist Rhyme began to manifest and gather in the void into an ancient mountain.

Everyone gasped at the Daoist Rhyme.

“Such a strong and mysterious technique!”

“This is… a Sage Technique!”

“Well, it’s certainly a kind of Sage Technique, but there are only so many Sage Techniques within our Firmament Star’s sage orthodoxies. Why have I never seen this before?”

Sage Techniques were simply too rare!

In a day and age where Emperor Techniques were mostly extinct, Sage Techniques were the highest level one could attain. In the entire Firmament Star, one could only find less than a handful of them.

“What do you think of this technique, Master?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“Very good! Fantastic!”

The Sect Master could not help but breathe a little heavier.

Chu Kuangren continued, “This is known as the Human Mountain Stamp. If the Dharma Sect opens all of its cultivation techniques to me, I shall give this technique in return.”

Instantly, the crowd looked at each other with suspicion.

Indeed, all of the Dharma Sect’s techniques were vital to them, but on the other hand, this was a never before seen Sage Technique.

“This is no small matter. We must discuss this first,” the Sect Master stated.

“Of course.” Chu Kuangren retrieved his Daoist rhyme.

…

While the Dharma Sect Master and company discussed their next course of action, Chu Kuangren brought Lan Yu around the area on a leisurely stroll as if they were on a sightseeing tour.

“Young man, isn’t it a loss to trade one Sage Technique for everything else?” The Seventh Forefather’s voice rang from the void.

“Sage Techniques may be precious, but Dharma Sect’s collection of techniques is vital for me to perfect my Dao techniques. It won’t be a loss for me.”

“Besides, even if I give it to them, they must gain insights for it. By the time someone masters the technique, I would be miles ahead of them.”

Chu Kuangren grinned. His words were brimmed with confidence.

Sage Techniques may be precious, but there were still quite a few in the Firmament Star. Moreover, those who have gained insights were also not rare, but how many had mastered it?

Not everyone was Chu Kuangren.

After half a day, the Dharma Sect Master came to Chu Kuangren, telling him that they had agreed to the deal but under one condition.

“The Dharma Sect can open all our cultivation techniques to you, but you only have one day,” the Sect Master stated.

They had set the condition because they feared Chu Kuangren’s terrifying ability to acquire techniques.

The image of him acquiring all eight thousand methods in the stele forest was still vivid in their minds. If they gave him all of the Dharma Sect’s Supreme and Sage Techniques, they would be defenseless against him in the future.

Hence that was the reason for the time limit.

Besides, Supreme Techniques were not methods. With only a day, even Chu Kuangren’s insane ability would not be able to allow him to acquire all the techniques, right?

“Sect Master, is this as far as your sincerity goes?” the Seventh Forefather walked out of the void with a dissatisfied frown.

Supreme Techniques were a thousand times harder to learn than methods. Even with Chu Kuangren’s insane abilities, just how many could he acquire?

This was how they wanted to trade a Sage Technique?

“It is alright, Seventh Forefather.” Chu Kuangren waved his hand with a casual smile. “In that case, a day it is.”

The Sect Master’s face fell a little upon seeing Chu Kuangren’s confident smile. Had they underestimated his abilities?

“Please come with me then.”

The Sect Master had Chu Kuangren engrave the Human Mountain Stamp onto a Dao stele before he led him to their scripture library.

The scripture library was where the Dharma Sect kept their heritage. As Chu Kuangren scanned the area, he realized that there were seventy-four Supreme Techniques and four Sage Techniques, including the Daoist Element of the Five Ways, and more

Eight thousand methods in the stele forest could not compare to even a tenth of the techniques here!

All these techniques were now before him, free for him to take.

“One day is enough.” Chu Kuangren smiled to himself.

To other cultivators, even a genius could only attain about ten percent of a Supreme Technique in a day.

However, this was no problem for Chu Kuangren.

The Dharma Sect Master and company underestimated him.

Chu Kuangren took out a gold card — the Golden Dao Enlightenment Card he had gotten from the Roulette Room two days ago.

The last time he acquired it, he used it to create the Sage Technique Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

This time, he would use it with his Meditational Clarity Trait.

Once Chu Kuangren crushed the card, he entered a mysterious state of enlightenment while activating his Trait.

…

Outside the scripture library, the Sect Master and the elders of the higher-ups were watching. It had been twenty hours since Chu Kuangren entered.

Four hours remained in his one-day time limit.

“Once the time limit is up, get him out of there immediately. His comprehensive ability is too scary, so don’t leave him in there for an extra second,” an elder said seriously.

“Indeed. If he gets hold of all of the Dharma Sect’s techniques, we’ll have no secrets left against him.”

“That’s an absolute taboo for cultivators.”

“It might seem unkind to do so, but the Dharma Sect’s sage orthodoxy roots are at stake. So be it if we come across as shameless.”

While the elders were in mid-discussion, a terrifying Daoist Rhyme soared into the sky from the scripture library and swept in all directions.

The whole Dharma Sect shook violently.

The Daoist Rhyme that manifested in the void was a figure in a white robe that, if one looked closely, resembled Chu Kuangren.

While the Dharma Sect Master and company were in shock, the figure raised the longsword in his hand and waved it at the void.

In an instant, brilliant rays of light burst forth as strong winds swept across the skies, shook the ground, froze the rivers and lakes, and burned the lands with flames

…

“That’s the Four Mystical Arts! How can he alone pull off something that requires four people?”

“Wait, look there!”

High in the sky, the white-robed figure continued to swing his sword. A different Daoist Rhyme would appear every time he swung his sword, each representing a different technique.

In the span of a few breaths, all seventy-four of the Supreme Techniques and the four Sage Techniques were showcased one by one.

The sight of this agitated the Sect Master and company.

“H-how is this possible?!”

“All the techniques with one sword?!”

“It hasn’t even been a day yet! How has he learned all the techniques in the scripture library?! My god, what kind of ability does he have?!”
