2272 Serious Business, Thirty-three Heavens, Eternal-tier Prize Creation Pool
The news of Chu Kuangren ranking first on the Supreme Honorable Leaderboard spread across the Great Hongmeng Universe.

In fact, spreading the news was not needed because everyone could see it in the sky.

The Hongmeng Leaderboard was huge, and everyone could see it with just a lift of their heads.

Chu Kuangren, however, was not overly concerned about the outside world.

He was inside a forest realm within the Pan Gu Sect, conserving his Supreme Honorable presence as he smiled.

“I’ve finally broken through to the Supreme Honorable Realm.”

He spent a hundred years breaking through from Supreme God to Supreme Honorable, skipping the Supreme Saint Realm entirely.

The battle with the four Monarchs had enlightened him greatly.

“Apocalypse Martial Ruler, Dragon Hunter Leader, Black Dragon King, Formation King, I have to thank you guys, but all of you are dead. Otherwise, I would thank you in person,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.

Then, with a thought from his mind, the Supreme Honorable-level soul consciousness expanded and blanketed the entire Pan Gu Sect. He was checking how the sect was doing.

“Huh? The number of people seemed to have surged. What happened?”

He frowned.

He knew the Pan Gu Sect would expand exponentially, but the number of people far exceeded his expectations.

“This can’t do. The rapid expansion will affect the new joiners’ quality. If the cultivators have mixed standards and quality, it will do the sect more harm than good.”

He was worried.

With another thought, he used his soul energy to scan through everyone.

When he realized most of the cultivators were up to his standards, and some even had great potential, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Great. It seems like they’re doing well while I’m away.”

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the sect.

“Linglong?”

His figure flashed and disappeared from the forest realm.

He appeared directly in Gu Linglong’s room.

Gu Linglong was sitting in front of a pile of documents while reading a long name list.

The name list seemed to be the names of all the cultivators of the sect.

Had she been taking care of the sect’s affair all along?

He suddenly realized why the rapid expansion did not affect the sect’s quality. It was because Gu Linglong had been monitoring the recruiting process closely.

As the former queen of the Firmament Empire, she was a natural in running a kingdom, or a sect in this case.

“Linglong, you’ve done a good job,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

The moment he spoke, he exposed his presence.

Gu Linglong was surprised, and then she felt someone hugging her from behind, nuzzling against her neck.

The familiar presence put a smile on her face.

“You’ve completed your cultivation.”

“Yeah. I’ve missed you.”

“Me, too. That’s why I put Elder Ruyan in charge of the empire and come to see you. She’s probably complaining about the… Mm…”

Before she could finish, Chu Kuangren bit her earlobe.

She blushed and groaned.
“Don’t. I still have things to do.”

“I’m also doing my thing, some serious things,” Chu Kuangren teased her.

With a snap of a finger, restriction seals appeared around them.

He swung his sleeve and used the Enchanted Sleeve to strip Gu Linglong naked.

Her porcelain white skin was exposed, and it made her cry out in shock. Her body floated in the air and slowly moved closer to Chu Kuangren.

“Come on. Let’s get down to business.”

…

“Hm… Sister Linglong has locked herself in the room for three days now.”

Yu Ling wondered as she looked at the room covered in restriction seals.

Shang Honghua was also confused. “Yeah, what’s she doing inside?”

“And what about Brother? I thought he had completed his cultivation. Why isn’t he out yet?”

Chu Hong was baffled.

Only Lan Yu knew what the restricted room meant. She chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. They will come out together.”

“Why?” Chu Hong asked curiously.

Shang Honghua realized what Lan Yu was referring to, so she looked at the restricted room and blushed. However, it only lasted for a second.

“I’m leaving. If the King comes out, let me know.”

“I think you will have to wait for at least ten more days,” Lan Yu said.

“Is he that strong?” Shang Honghua was shocked.

“I remember the longest was thirty-one days. Master and Sister Linglong haven’t seen each other for many years. I wonder if he can beat his own record.”

Chu Hong could not understand what they were talking about.

With that, another month passed.

“Thirty-three days. He has beat his own record,” Lan Yu said.

“As expected of the King.” Shang Honghua’s lips twitched helplessly.

“Screech!”

The restriction seals disappeared, and the door opened.

Chu Kuangren came out of the room, looking refreshed, but Gu Linglong was not around.

He smiled and greeted Lan Yu and the others.

“Hi, guys. Long time no see.”

“Brother, why did you come out from Sister Linglong’s room? Where is she?” Chu Hong wanted to enter the room.

However, Chu Kuangren stopped her immediately and smiled. “Linglong is a little tired. Let her rest.”

“Tired?” Chu Hong was confused, but then, a sudden realization struck. “I bet it’s because of the work she has to do to keep the sect running. She’s definitely tired.”

“Yeah. You’re right,” Chu Kuangren said with a nod.

Further away, Yu Ling finally saw Chu Kuangren, and she looked rather stiff.

She knew the man was the Pan Gu Sect Leader, the legend who killed four Monarchs and ranked first on the Supreme Honorable Leaderboard.

However, Chu Kuangren looked quite easygoing. After Lan Yu introduced Yu Ling to him, he smiled and said, “Thank you for taking care of Linglong.”

“No, it was actually the other way around,” Yu Ling said immediately.

After some chit-chats, Chu Kuangren summoned Li Jun and the others.

He looked upset. The first thing he did was scold them. If not for Gu Linglong, the sect’s development would have been badly affected.

“The Pan Gu Sect should expand but not without proper guidelines and rules. I hope everyone can learn from mistakes and take note of them from now on.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It was their mistake that they got ahead of themselves.

Chu Kuangren killing four Monarchs made the Pan Gu Sect well known, and it made them proud, so proud that they got carried away.

Now, with his reminder, the others realized they should have thought about it more clearly before acting.

“In the future, when I’m not around, Fuxi, Nuwa, please take care of the sect.”

Chu Kuangren looked at Fuxi and Nuwa.

As they used to be Human Emperors, they had experience in management. If they had not been in cultivation for the past hundred years, the Pan Gu Sect would not have almost gone out of course.

…

“God of Slaugther’s Ring.”

Chu Kuangren inspected a pitch-black ring under a tree.

He got the ring from killing the Apocalypse Martial Ruler. He had studied it before and found out more secrets about it.

Other than the God of Slaughter’s inheritance, the ring also contained many other cultivation techniques and insights into the Dao.

On top of that, the ring was also a memorabilia.

The God of Slaughter was the king of the ancient Kingdom of Slaughter.

Hence, the ring was something like a royalty seal.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Slaughter was too ancient, and its history was long buried in the river of time. The memorabilia or token might be useless already.

With the ring in hand, Chu Kuangren opened the Fantasy Roulette.

“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won the Eternal-tier prize, Creation Pool.”

Huh?

Eternal-tier prize?

Chu Kuangren’s eyes gleamed with interest.

After doing gacha draws for so many years, he had only gotten one Eternal-tier prize before, which was the Temple of Destiny.

Now, he had gotten it again.
