Master of Untold Daos - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Yan Mountain’s Ascending Diary, First Entry
On Chen Ming’s side, he was about to retreat along with his disciples, leaving Nu Xiao hanging, “No way! Foxkin khan, I’m still here!

“Brothers, chase!”

You saved me and now you ignore me? I, Nu Xiao, still need your force to kill my way back!

Chen Ming had no interest in saying outright he’d help him get the throne. That would be to fake, Plus it will lay bare all my plans.

Even more so when taking the initiative to help will place me on the losing side of the deal as opposed to him asking me.

Chen Ming was preparing his 3,000+ disciples to train in cicada’s method, training their hardship cultivation and spiritual cultivation according to cicada’s cultivation method. This was how they’d get to use the black sabers. It would bring about the strongest hardship cultivators in existence.

Cicada united the Galaxy in the past, so the talents he fostered with this method were enough to sweep the world!

He didn’t limit himself to cicada’s materials either, he had the Heart Enlightenment Tree!

Now that I have two Trees of Martyrs, even if one isn’t under my control, if I can’t rise now, I only have myself to blame.

He still had the 400 tones of souls he skimmed off Second Crown Prince. It might be enough to make the Heart Enlightenment Tree grow again.

Chen Ming needed to mind a lot of things now.

He went straight to the Scarlet Tide Continent when he got back. He wanted to sprinkle fertilizer for the Heart Enlightenment Tree first. Our hard-working and diligent farmer, Chen Ming, descended upon the Scarlet Tide Continent once again. He saw crowds of cultivators, tongues wagging.

They sounded like goodbyes.

In front of the path to immortality, people were shouting.

“Senior brother, going to the Expansion Star you will succeed this time on breaking through to Immortal realm!”

“Master, disciple awaits your good news!”

“Brother, I will soar in the immortal world. Just you wait, world, I am coming!”

Zhong Tongzi was in the lead of these ascending cultivators on the verge of breaking through. Seeing the people waving goodbye, again and again, he couldn’t help it and said, “What are you so afraid of? You are Yan Mountain’s people, so of course it will help you breakthrough! On Expansion Star, you will join the Ascending Class and Second Sect Leader will impart the Dao and the skills needed to breakthrough. Yan Mountain will even give you a set of immortal armor. With how rich it is in them, your bound to find one to like you. You will all return alive, bearing good news to all your friends and families!”

One man said, “But this trip is the same as when an immortal parts the mortal world!”

“Yeah, the Scarlet Tide Continent can only have one immortal as the Star Lord.”

“Master, I don’t want to leave you!”

Zhong Tongzi wangled, “Go back, everyone. The entire Scarlet Tide Continent cultivates now, and raising immortals is important. Just recall how last year thirty entered the Immortal realm. Please return and cultivate in earnest!”

One cultivator from the Ascending Class said, “The road to immortality is slow. One needs rest and watch his children grow!”

“This trip is to help Yan Mountain expand!”

“Work hard on cultivation, Master will be waiting for you on Expansion Star!”

It was then Zhong Tongzi spotted a familiar face in the crowd. He looked up-close and found it imposing, elegant and refined. He went on his knees on the spot, “Subordinate Zhong Tongzi, Manager of Scarlet Tide Continent, greets Mountain Lord!”

Everyone watched the person Zhong Tongzi kneeled to. He could only be the Mountain Lord!

They now met the legend, the founder of Yan Mountain, the pioneer of Expansion star in person. This man lifted Yan Mountain with but a flick of his hand, he cast countless stars and factions in his powerful shadow, he was a living and breathing legend!

Without any exceptions, all cultivators dropped on their knees, “We greet Mountain Lord!”

Chen Ming didn’t much care since Yan Mountain now ruled the Three-headed Dragon Constellation to supply Scarlet Tide Continent, his headquarters.

Chen Ming dismissed their courtesy, “We are neither friends nor kin. And you aren’t my men either. There’s no need to kneel.”

One cultivator on the verge of breaking through said, “No, no, no, Mountain Lord, we are all your people. It is only natural for us to show respect.”

With him setting the start, another four hundred or so old cultivator added, “Mountain Lord, my son has become a disciple of a Lord. My seniority doesn’t compare to Mountain Lord. This is my respect to you!”

How could any of them treat it like nothing?

But those friends and families took it to a whole new level, “Heavens, I just saw Mountain Lord, and he’s still alive!”

Chen Ming: …

Who are you calling a live Mountain Lord? You’re saying you only saw dead ones?

“Mom, I saw Mountain Lord!”

…

Chen Ming was a bit happy at that, though he didn’t show it, “Stand up, I do not like excessive formalities.”

Despite getting back on their feet, their eyes shone with I saw God! expressions.

Chen Ming beckoned Zhong Tongzi, “Come here!”

Zhong Tongzi rose with extreme care thinking something was wrong and walked with him to a corner. Chen Ming asked, “What’s this Ascending Class I hear about?”

Zhong Tongzi’s heartstrings loosened. He was scared he offended him from calling him out, “Mountain Lord, it’s like this. Fourth Sect Leader connected with this star and can now use its power. Therefore, I went to warn her: ‘Scarlet Tide Continent cannot have a second immortal, besides Yan Mountain’s sect leaders and Mountain Lord of course. But any other immortal on its lands is not allowed.’ Fourth Sect Leader understood my intention and came to the conclusion to migrate all who are on the verge of reaching the Immortal realm to Expansion Star. This, in turn, will prevent the path to immortality for opening and letting others know of this place.

“To help these cultivators who always refined pills breakthrough, Yan Mountain formed the Ascending Class to teach them the skills necessary for survival. Second Sect Leader’s Dao is deep and understands the tribulation the best. He also said by watching these cultivators he would also gain new insights, which in turn are imparted to them.”

Chen Ming got the gist. In fact, since Ling Xian trained in Dao Canon, considered the source of all Daos, by watching them he’d improve his own cultivation, and wouldn’t delay his progress.

Just how Chen Lingyu cured to gain enlightenment didn’t affect her cultivation. Quite the opposite, it promoted it.
