Chapter 340 - Fate Is Here!
This should turn the tribulation a walk in the park. Ling Xian went and called the tribulation and proved Chen Ming’s speculation of it being close to Zhuo Qingyao’s. Startled despite the averted danger, Ling Xian passed the Transcending realm Tribulation a day later.
“Ding! Ling Xian entered the Transcending realm. Reward: 100,000 merits.”
“Ding! Ling Xian entered the Emergence stage. Reward: 200,000 merits.”
Truly backed up on knowledge! He’d been putting of breaking through for so long that he entered straight into the Emergence stage.
His training in the Dao Canon added the perk of skipping realms when fighting while also increasing his cultivation speed. This extra speed was compared with others in the same realm, not with his previous realm’s speed.
Though his breakthrough didn’t net Chen Ming with as many merits as Zhuo Qingyao’s. Chen Ming guessed it had to be the special case of Zhuo Qingyao going from the Dao Sense realm to the Transcending realm in one huge jump.
Now that Ling Xian advanced, it was time to take advantage of his Luck Aura. Maybe he’d lucked out and draw hundreds of millions of spiritual knowledge!
Chen Ming stood just ten feet away from him and saw his Dao Bones Aura changing into Dao Body Aura.
‘Dao Body Aura
Description: I am the favorite of heaven and earth!
Effect: great increase in Dao affinity, great increase in perception, can link with a star’s source.’
I can understand the first two, but the last one is the same as an immortal being able to connect with a star’s power and becoming a Star Lord! And all that in the Transcending realm!
Ling Xian said, “Master, I feel so strange. As if I can see each corner of the Expansion Star. But I can’t control it and need some time to adjust.”
Yep, that settles it.
With such ability, he could up and use the star’s source. But that’s beside the point, now it was time to rub on his Luck Aura!
Chen Ming spoke in his mind, “Draw! I want to draw three times! Come on! Come on!”
What face-washing, what hand-washing? Luck Aura for the win!
“Ding! You received Imperial Cannon Heavenly Dao. Note: you once met a wandering Daoist. There’s more to him than meets the eye.”
“Ding! You earned the right to enter the Land of Eternal Rest. Note: the four seasons are different in each own right, and they might hold a secret.
“Ding! You received Beast King Records. Note: there’s a cause to everything, and the large number of savage beasts is no exception. It wouldn’t hurt to check it out.”
Imperial Cannon Heavenly Dao?
What kind of trinket is this?
Land of Eternal Rest?
Where is this place?
Beast King Records was understandable. It was quite possible to come from the demise of a beast herding sect that had been destroyed long ago and lost control of all its beast.
With this pig rearing art, Yan Mountain would raise in power in the shortest time possible!
The easiest and closes reward was the second, four seasons. It had to be something connecting Spring and Autumn as well as Wu Jiang’s Winter Lightning and Summer Snow.
Chen Ming didn’t bother before to gain Winter Lightning and Summer Snow’s approval, there was no point. He cultivated the Demonic Blood Saber art, unsuitable for the two blades
Chen Ming let Ling Xian be to consolidate his realm and returned to Yan Mountain branch. Once inside his hall, he took out the four blades and began binding them. These sabers were but a top spiritual weapon, hardly needing the effort.
Chen Ming felt his connection with them and put the three blades near each other. They drew closer and turned into a long saber in mid-air.
It was four feet long. With an eight-inch hilt and a three-foot-long narrow and delicate blade.
Chen Ming had bonded the four before, so this was bonded as well.
Two fused to form an immortal weapon and now that the four joined, it became a top immortal equipment!
And the effect of this immortal blade was extreme and pure cruelty!
It had two features: hard and speed!
Hard was easy to understand, hinting to its tough nature among other weapons of the same quality. It wouldn’t break, not even when clashed against Ember.
As for speed, Chen Ming needn’t say anything to explain it.
Speed’s effect was just that, twice as fast.
Chen Ming spun it around but didn’t feel any difference.
He came to the conclusion that he lacked a time Dao Seed.
The blade sang a cicada’s chirping, constant and incessant.
In Chen Ming’s mind, Why the damn buzzing?
When in doubt, as the system lady!
“Comprehend this cicada chirping!”
“Ding! Comprehending the secret art needs ten thousand merits.”
Well whatta you know, it actually works!
Ten thousand merits were peanuts to him, “Comprehend.”
“You comprehended the Instant Secret Art. You formed the Instant Dao Seed.”
Chen Ming checked his insides to find it sitting next to Dao Canon’s Dao Seed. They were of the same grade!
Chen Ming gave the blade a light nudge.
He could now sense its speed doubling, for some baffling reason.
He spun it again just to find it back to normal.
Chen Ming’s main battle tactic was to suppress the others through arrays. When meeting those weaker than him, they’d be crushed to death, but if the opponent was equal, he lacked a finisher.
He relied on Sea Gazing until now but this was best suited for Dao Canon users. When he released it, it wasn’t at its peak.
But with this saber, if he used Ten Thousand Swords Become One or even trained in a saber art to add to its effect, he would be a reaper to his enemies.
As for those stronger than our dear Immortal Master Chen, he never even considered them in the first place. Is there any way to beat such an enemy? Won’t I die?
Forget about it!
Understating the cicada scripture enabled him to hear the meaning behind the buzzing, “To the cicada race in the endless darkness, if there’s any among you that ca hear this blade, return to your cradle, the Land of Eternal Rest. On the Destiny Star, the tree...”
