Chapter 184: Mindful Emperor, An Earth-Shattering Secret, Heavenly Emperor You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

“He has reached the top!”

“What Opportunity of Fortune is inside that Sword Gauntlet?”

“This Chu Kuangren is indeed too astonishing. It’s been so many years and no one has been able to climb to the top, but he has succeeded!”

“How did he do it?”

The few Sages were astounded by his achievement.

Black Heaven’s Third Forefather was especially delighted. “Haha, he truly is our Black Heaven Sect’s Lead Disciple. Nobody else can but he can!”

The other Sages could not help but feel jealous upon hearing that.

They hated the fact that Chu Kuangren was not from their respective sage orthodoxies.

Sword Gauntlet, the fiftieth floor.

When Chu Kuangren reached the fiftieth floor, ever-changing apparitions appeared before his very eyes, but what appeared in front of him, was a lake.

At the bank beside the lake was a man wearing a straw rain cape, fishing.

Chu Kuangren slowly walked up to him and checked his information with the Eye of Revelation. After one look, his heart skipped a beat.

“Mindful Emperor, an Ancient Emperor from two hundred and twenty thousand years ago. Currently exists in an Empyrean Thought Form. Skillsets are sword Dao, cultivation…”

Due to Chu Kuangren’s cultivation base, there was not much information that the Eye of Revelation could analyze and gather about the Emperor in front of him.

Nevertheless, it was still sufficient to shock him.

If he took into account Demon Emperor Pride’s clone which he had encountered before, Mindful Emperor, who was now in front of him, was the second Emperor that he had seen in real life.

Chu Kuangren stood behind him silently.

One was sitting down and fishing while the other stood motionless.

After a long while.

“Little guy, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Mindful Emperor could not stand the silence any longer and asked him curiously.

Should he not be asking himself that same question first?

However, Chu Kuangren reacted well to it. He had not spoken at all, showing that he was not at all worried about the situation he was in.

“Senior, you’re fishing so I, as a junior, dared not interrupt you.”

Chu Kuangren let out a faint smile.

When Mindful Emperor heard that, he was stunned for a moment.

‘That’s all?’

‘That’s all it took for you to stand at a side without uttering a word?’

“Haha, interesting little fellow.” Mindful Emperor laughed. He rose to his feet, then took off his straw rain cape and coolie hat, revealing his full appearance.

Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised when he took a look at him.

It was because this Mindful Emperor looked exactly like the white-robed man he saw when the Daoist Rhyme from the Sword Gauntlet’s plaque converged.

Indeed, this Mindful Emperor was the owner of the Sword Gauntlet.

So that day, the person who traversed the endless bounds of time and had a mental spar with him was not some Sage either, it was an Emperor!

“Little guy, do you know who I am?”

“The owner of this Sword Gauntlet.”

“That’s right, this Sword Gauntlet is indeed a relic that I’ve left behind, and I am an Emperor who paved the way for Dao enlightenment in ancient times. My name… is Mindful Emperor!”

Chu Kuangren bowed. “Greetings, Heavenly Emperor.”

Mindful Emperor was stunned.

Why was this junior not shocked at all after knowing his identity as an Emperor? His Daoist core was way too good.

What he did not know was that Chu Kuangren had already known his identity long ago.

“Your ability to reach the Sword Gauntlet’s fiftieth floor proves that you are worthy of receiving my inheritance.” Mindful Emperor smiled, and with a wave of his arm, an ancient scripture appeared right before Chu Kuangren.

The moment this scripture showed itself, surges of Daoist Rhymes coursed, and a majestic Emperor’s Aura poured out of it.

“This is… an Emperor’s Scripture!”

“Oh, this little fellow knows quite a lot of stuff. Speaking of which, I have sensed from your body an Emperor Daoist Rhyme that is completely distinct from mine. Have you received an inheritance from any other Emperors in the past?”

“Not going to lie, I have indeed obtained an Emperor’s Scripture before.”

The scripture that Chu Kuangren referred to was the Eternal Emperor Scripture.

However, he had gotten that from the gacha roll.

“Oh, to which Emperor did that belong? Could you tell me more?”

Chu Kuangren pondered. “Eternal Emperor.”

Mindful Emperor thought for a while after hearing that. Then, a hint of shock shone in his eyes. “Eternal Emperor, I can’t believe it’s him.”

“Emperor, you know him?” Chu Kuangren was surprised at that response too.

This was something that he had obtained from the gacha roll.

Was there really such a person as Eternal Emperor?

“I don’t know him, but I’ve read about him in the ancient archives. He was an Emperor from the Old Ages. I’m surprised that you’ve gotten his inheritance.”

The Old Ages was a period of time that dated further back than the ancient times, even for Mindful Emperor.

He had only seen some records from the ancient archives.

“I see.”

Chu Kuangren nodded, but deep in his mind, he wondered if there was really a chance for the items he drew from the gacha roll to be related to this world?

He promised himself that he would revisit this at some point later in the future.

“For a person to obtain two Emperor’s Scriptures, I can say that your luck is beyond extraordinary,” Mindful Emperor said admirably.

After that, he passed the Mindful Emperor Scripture to Chu Kuangren.

“Aside from this Emperor’s Scripture, the Sword Gauntlet is also a relic, and I bestow them both upon you,” Mindful Emperor said.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes glittered.

This Sword Gauntlet was indeed a relic. Without factoring in the other stuff, just those Sage Techniques that were recorded within the corridor murals alone were enough to invoke envy for a sage orthodoxy, not to mention the numerous unique uses that it could be utilized for.

“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor. Oh, right, I have a question. Although you are standing in front of me now, this is not your actual physical form, isn’t it?”

“Little guy, not a bad guess. What’s appearing in front of you right now is merely one of my Empyrean Thoughts,” Mindful Emperor said.

“So, Heavenly Emperor, where is your actual form currently at? Don’t tell me that you’ve fallen?”

“To hell with you, I’m still perfectly alive and well now.” Mindful Emperor made an eye-roll and said in an unimpressed tone.

Chu Kuangren quickly bowed his head down. “Apologies, please forgive my disrespectful remark.”

“As for where I am, or more precisely, where those historically recorded Emperors are, I can’t reveal it to you.”

“When you become an Emperor yourself, the answers will naturally open up for you.”

After Mindful Emperor finished his sentence, the Empyrean Thought began to fade off.

As such, Chu Kuangren quickly bowed. “Farewell, Heavenly Emperor.”

“Hah, little guy, you have very good talent. I look forward to the day when we would meet again. I have high hopes on you.” Mindful Emperor smiled as he said.

There was a pensive color in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

His meeting with the Mindful Emperor today had massively benefited him. Besides the Emperor’s Scripture and the Sword Gauntlet, he had even gained knowledge of an earth-shattering secret!

The secret being that there was a huge possibility that the historically recorded Emperors of Old had not perished but hidden at some corner of the world.

“Such a magnitude of mystery is not something that I can solve at my current stage.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and put the thought at the back of his mind.

When Mindful Emperor’s Empyrean Thought was gone, the lake started quaking all of a sudden. The fishing rod that the Emperor had left behind began to tug, and what flew out of the lake in that instant was a body of a pitch-black… dragon!

This dragon was up to several hundred meters long, and its whole body was covered in black scales. An incredibly terrifying ferocious energy engulfed the entire place.

The dragon tossed and turned in the air while it growled fiercely. Only at a closer glance would one notice that inside its mouth was a trapped silver string.

The other end of the silver line led to the fishing rod that was right in front of Chu Kuangren.

“What the hell. Mindful Emperor was fishing for a dragon?!”

Chu Kuangren was flabbergasted.

When he thought about it more, he realized that there was no problem with that narrative.

The only problem was that the dragon was currently staring at him maliciously!

“Oh right, the way to control the Sword Gauntlet is inside the dragon’s body. Little guy, take this as a final challenge that I’ve left for you.”

Mindful Emperor’s voice once again rang out.

It was from the last bit of Empyrean Thought that was left dangling on that fishing rod.

“Heavenly Emperor, you’ve got to be kidding me!” Chu Kuangren complained as he stared at that dragon that was already charging at him. He wanted to cry but no tears came out.
