Master of Untold Daos Chapter 355 - Dark Tide

Chapter 355: Dark TideBut his only retainer as of yet was Bu Liuhen. What can he do alone? Need to resume recruiting new Blades. I wonder what news he has for me?

Seven Blades will net me ten million merits.

The first time I went and found a peak Celestial Immortal little brother. Now I have to set my sights a little higher and aim for a Gold Immortal.

Or I won’t see a jin of souls from my lands.

I’ll have no choice but to pay a visit to the River Office once I’m done with matters on Yan Mountain.

That’s a great place for a talent scout like me. It’s quite a fitting t.i.tle actually.

The meeting today spoke of the hundred-year reaping that would happen ten years from now. To mortals, a hundred years was a lifetime, while to immortals, it was a time to reap souls.

This was the origin of the hundred-year harvest. Every power out there was getting fit and ready for war.

This had to do with their Tree of Martyrs. Such matters couldn’t be done halfheartedly. The entire Galaxy was silently making preparations.

The same applied to the Three-headed Dragon Constellation, where the Heavenly Court and Jade Lake had been preparing all this time.

The two didn’t even notice Chen Ming, nor did they make a connection between Bu Liuhen and a new Faceless appearing.

His bodhi tree was in its first stage yet already a freak of nature. If it went up a stage, his disciples’ comprehension would be a cut above. With all of them geniuses to begin with, and the added benefit of not lacking money, spirit stones, Spirit Veins, and taking pills on a whim, they would rise faster than ever.

In this war, Heavenly Court only though of Jade Lake as its contender, but Nr. 6 would surely be sticking his foot in.

When the two were at their worse, Nr. 6 would come into play, and then Chen Ming would stick his nose in, reaping all the benefits.

Genius I say!

But now he needed the power to back up his nose in sticking in. I have to figure out how to get me a Gold Immortal little brother.

Even Bu Liuhen’s ten Celestial Immortals are not nearly enough even if they went and got themselves killed.

Chen Ming had no transaction and the meeting soon ended.

When he opened his eyes, Li Suyi and Ling Xian came to him, “Master, we won the war. The stars’ immortals are celebrating at Obsidian Temple!”

The time came to get his reward. I have to go anyway, and also collect those Spirit Veins while I’m at it. Not many, but they’re still Spirit Veins in the end.

Our dear Immortal Master Chen always lived with a tightened belt, so how could he let this pa.s.s him by? “Did the Obsidian Temple gave Yan Mountain the half of the territory which belonged to the savage beasts?”

Li Suyi bowed, “Yes, that half of the continent has little use. With the savage beasts seizing it, they had no chance of gathering its Spirit Vein and spiritual herbs so they gave it to us without a problem.”

Chen Ming nodded, “Good. This way we have a path to their star. Gain full control over it and make sure no one from outside finds out anything. They must never realize we are capturing immortal beasts.”

“Disciple already made the arrangements. We are the only ones allowed to go through that area.”

Chen Ming nodded pleased, “Good work. Since there’s a feast, let’s go join in.”

Chen Ming eyed his spiritual knowledge account, who was sitting at two hundred million.

He wiped it clean just like that, like they never were there to begin with, and b.u.mped two thousand Dao Palaces to the Aspect stage.

But my spiritual power hardly shows any change. I need to get my hands on immortal arts, the stronger they are the more powerful I become.

Of course, if spiritual power lacks they’ll fizzle out.

And the amount he had now was barely enough to use the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps.

The rise in danger value wasn’t much, just three thousand. I’ll probably stay at 27,000 for a long time. The origin of many of my Dao Seeds is terribly lacking.

The only point left for spiritual knowledge was to enter the Transcending realm.

That was when his power would truly fly off the charts.

He didn’t have a way to raise so many to the Aspect stage at first, not since many Scarlet Tide Continent scriptures were incapable of reaching it. He had to rely on that good deed of his in picking the inheritance’s place clean. Those geniuses sure had it great, having so many scriptures.

He had the merits, but nowhere to spend them. I’ll just go ahead and study this Imperial Heavenly Dao Cannon. It’s not affected by the realm seal anyway and learning it has its uses.

This cultivation method had no realm restriction in Chen Ming’s case, cultivating it without interruptions. But the odd thing was, this thing gave an aura from the start as well as the Emperor Dao Seed. It was even above Dao Canon’s and the Instant Dao Seed. It had to have a deep secret!

The path of fate is riddled in mysteries!

He spent a million merits and took it to the second stage, Immortal Guide.

Immortal Guide?

In that night, Chen Ming’s heart was filled with many intricacies. He gazed upon the starry sky and saw the changes within.

As his eyes wandered upon the star cl.u.s.ters, one star, in particular, was dimmed.

It was covered by a dark cloud and seemed to point to having suffered a great calamity.

Its light was like a frail candle in the storm, ever-dwindling but never vanquished.

If this misfortune was swept away, it would rise even higher!

As for Zhuo Qingyao, Li Suyi, Ling Xian and the rest, they had yet to reach the Immortal realm. One needed to bore in mind that an Earth Immortal’s realm was the Fate Star. As they weren’t even at this stage, they have no d.a.m.n Commanding Star and Emperor Star or the like.

The least of it him, who was still in the Dao Comprehending realm.

But he was able to see many things now. Darkness was slowly spreading from afar.

This dark tide wasn’t simple. If it came, this star would be forever obscured by it, never to be seen again.

Just what has happened?

Chen Ming began making gestures to calculate that faint Commanding Star. A faint smiled touched his lips, “In the Jade Lake’s River Office!”

You have an arm, I have a blade. Now come, my Blade.

After the feast, I will go take a closer look at Jade Lake, at who was that Commanding Star.

I say, this Immortal Master can do some star reading now!
