Chapter 1279: Chapter 1365: The Divine Ship Gifted

Chen Nan left the tavern together with Kuang Yu.

The two of them headed towards the center of Genius City, walking for about twenty li, before arriving at an ancient residence.

“The clan leader is inside.”

Kuang Yu pointed to an ancient residence in front and walked towards it.

Chen Nan followed closely behind, entering the residence, which had a very simple layout, looking nothing like a place where a clan leader would live. Inside, an elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from the door.

Kuang Yu stopped at the entrance, pointed inside, and said, “You go in.”

Then he turned and left the place.

Chen Nan looked up at the elder in front of him and said with cupped fists, “Junior Chen Nan, pays respects to Senior Kuang.”

Kuang Zhen Tian nodded and after a moment turned to face Chen Nan. His face was full of a sense of age, yet devoid of any wrinkles, appearing no different than an ordinary middle-aged man besides his white hair and beard.

But just as Chen Nan was observing, Kuang Zhen Tian suddenly flashed and appeared close to him.

He raised his hand and pointed at Chen Nan’s forehead.

Instantly, a white light flickered, and the divine light entered Chen Nan’s forehead. At the same time, Chen Nan felt a torrent of information pouring into his Sea of Consciousness, as if some kind of memory flooded his brain.

Chen Nan thought carefully, realizing that it was a segment of information about a cultivation technique, with each move and style exceedingly clear.

Chen Nan quickly stepped forward and said, “Thank you, Senior Kuang, for imparting the divine skill.”

“These cultivation techniques originally belong to you,” Kuang Zhen Tian shook his head and said, “Our Kuang Clan never leaks martial arts to outsiders, and these are not of our clan.”

Chen Nan asked in confusion, “What does Senior mean by saying they originally belong to me?”

Kuang Zhen Tian was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Now that I have imparted them to you, there’s no need to ask further.”

Seeing as the other party had said so, Chen Nan could only stop his inquiries and shifted the topic, asking, “There is a question that’s been in my heart for a long time. I wish to ask Senior Kuang for guidance and hope Senior can help me understand.”

“Curious about why our Kuang Clan treats you so well?” Kuang Zhen Tian looked at him.

Chen Nan nodded, “Please enlighten me, Senior.”

“I can tell you, Xuan Tianji and Xuan Tiangang are my senior brothers. So by that account, you are considered my junior nephew,” Kuang Zhen Tian said.

Chen Nan recalled hearing from the Toxic Wolf that his master was actually his martial uncle, named Xuan Tiangang, yet he had never seen him.

Thinking of this, Chen Nan asked, “What about Master Jie Se? He seems to also call my master ‘Senior Brother.'”

“He is indeed Xuan Tiangang. This fellow loves women as his life and had to become a monk by losing a bet with the Vermilion Bird Divine Girl.” At this point, Kuang Zhen Tian seemed to recall something, revealing a smile.

Chen Nan frowned, “Being able to defeat him, who is this Vermilion Bird Divine Girl?”

“She perished during the battle in the Martial World in ancient times, but according to the timeline, she should be awakening now. You came from the Martial World, didn’t you see her?”

Among the experts from ancient times, the only woman Chen Nan had met was that red-clothed maniac.

“Could it be that red-clothed maniac?” Chen Nan asked.

Kuang Zhen Tian’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the title but then laughed: “If she hears herself being called that, with her fiery temper, she’d burn you to death.”

Chen Nan shrank his neck, realizing it was indeed that maniacal woman.

No wonder the last time she fought with the celibate monk, the great monk had to use the God Beating Whip to win; apparently, even in Ancient Times, the monk was no match for her.

Only now did Chen Nan realize that the name of that red-clothed maniac was actually Vermilion Bird Divine Girl.

At this moment, another question popped into Chen Nan’s mind: “Senior…no, Martial Uncle, I have another thing to ask. Your master, also my grandmaster, who exactly is he? I’ve never heard my master mention him.”

Kuang Zhen Tian looked at Chen Nan, then shook his head after a moment: “He is a legend; his cultivation is a myth in the entire history of cultivation.”

“I heard from my master that there was a powerful figure capable of contending with the Supreme of the Demon Path, even possibly suppressing him. Is that person my grandmaster?” Chen Nan asked.

Kuang Zhen Tian neither confirmed nor denied it.

He raised his hand and sliced the air, causing the void to tear apart, and a middle-aged man fell out, hitting the ground.

Kuang Zhen Tian glanced at Chen Nan: “Do you recognize this person?”

How could Chen Nan not recognize him? This middle-aged man was the assassin who had previously attempted to kill him at the tavern and whom he chased after but failed to capture. It turned out he had been caught by the Kuang Clan.

Kuang Zhen Tian swept his gaze over the middle-aged man and said, “Speak, tell him what you told me before.”

The middle-aged man had already been terrified by Kuang Zhen Tian’s previous methods and dared not slacken, hurriedly looking at Chen Nan said, “I am just an assassin, hired by Qianyuan Holy Land to kill you.”

Chen Nan nodded, finding that his guess was indeed correct.

In this Genius City, his deepest enmity was no other than Qianyuan Holy Land, after all, he had killed two of their disciples, humiliating them greatly.

“Daring to conduct assassination in Genius City, truly deserves death.”

As Kuang Zhen Tian spoke, he glanced at the middle-aged man, and immediately a dazzling white light flashed, causing the middle-aged man to vanish, not even leaving a speck of debris.

Chen Nan was astounded beyond measure; comparing the cultivation of Kuang Zhen Tian with his master Xuan Tianji’s, it seemed he was not far behind.

However, after the great battle in Ancient Times, all the masters went to the Mortal World, guarding the Four Extremes World’s portal. Why, given Kuang Zhen Tian’s profound cultivation, was he still in the Tao Realm?

The elder seemed to have seen through his confusion and said, “I was younger than my two senior brothers. After the immense battle in Ancient Times, I only reached the Immortal Domain Realm. With the clan leader dead, as the young clan leader, it was inappropriate for me to leave the Kuang Clan, so I remained in the Tao Realm.”

“So that’s how it is,” Chen Nan understood.

He was contemplating whether to mention the matter of the Divine Ship to his martial uncle. After all, being a martial uncle, he might give him a little face, right?

However, before he could speak, a white light flashed in Kuang Zhen Tian’s hand, and a miniaturized warship appeared in his palm.

“I have already discerned clearly that you participated in this Genius Conference, merely to obtain this warship to reach the Extreme West. With your present cultivation, whether you can take first place is another matter, but in life-and-death situations, there’s no time for delay. Today, I gift this ship to you. Speed to the Extreme West.”

As Kuang Zhen Tian spoke, he extended the warship towards Chen Nan.

The Kuang Clan Divine Ship is only given to unparalleled geniuses, and in today’s battle on the arena, Kuang Zhen Tian watched from the shadows, clearly deserving the title of genius.

Chen Nan couldn’t be more excited.

Whether he won first or not was no concern to him; what he cared about was the Divine Ship.

Now that the Divine Ship was in hand, whether it was a Genius Conference or a Foolish Conference, it no longer mattered to him. Reaching the Extreme West quickly and obtaining the Ancient Cold Spring Water was the priority.

Chen Nan received the warship, and Kuang Zhen Tian said, “This ship, like a cultivator’s magic treasure, requires a drop of blood to recognize the master, and is controlled by thought.”
