Chapter 343: That’s not What I Meant
Li Suyi was quick in arriving on Obsidian Star, while the Yan Mountain disciples were already in transit to where the beast tide was to erupt. He was about to continue his journey when Feng Lu bowed, “Yan Mountain Third Sect Leader, come have some alms as a show of gratitude from this old monk!”
“There’s no need. We are short on time. I’m in a rush to the battlefield and can’t stay long. Let’s go, to the Ominous Star!”
Feng Lu had long known him being a demonic cultivator but it mattered not. As an immortal, he knew a great deal of many things, among them that of some demonic cultivators being capable of good.
In Feng Lu’s flight of fancy, Li Suyi had to have been a great demon that was set straight by Yan Mountain Mountain Lord. He pledged himself to Chen Ming and his heart is now working for the light.
Weren’t his acts something a righteous cultivator would do?
“Safe journey, Third Sect Leader!”
Li Suyi vanished in the horizon and appeared three days later on the Ominous Star. He presented his crest to the immortal there, who wished to invite him to a feast, “I am on a mission. I ask the lord for the location where the beast tide will erupt. I want to set up camp and replenish Yan Mountain’s troops.”
The immortal’s heart finally eased up. His worries never left him until now. Where in the world was there ever such hero, willing to help them? But no even a dozen days past and the vanguard was here to build the lines.
Li Suyi said, “I’ve come to scout the battlefield and also deploy the troops. I ask for the lord’s help in smoothing the process.”
The immortal felt guilty, “Yan Mountain Third Sect Leader, be at ease. You can move as you wish on this star. We will provide you with everything you need, supplies, pills and spirit stones!”
Li Suyi bowed, “Many thanks. I shall proceed to attack the savage beasts taking hold of this star!”
The immortal was ever thankful but Li Suyi was astride his golden-purple lion, setting off for the savage beasts’ territory.
In but five days, his forces of three immortal beasts and thirty Beneath Immortal beasts swept clean the opposition. He handed over the ones he captured to the disciples and pressed on in his campaign alongside his vanguard army.
Whether or not the Yan Mountain disciples were able to control the wounded beast, he didn’t spare the thought one moment. With the added presence of an immortal, they should soon subdue the Beneath Immortal savage beasts.
After another five days, Li Suyi established the front and left Ominous Star. The immortal of the next star was overjoyed at the news. Yan Mountain’s strength is huge!
But most importantly, Yan Mountain had a merciful heart.
Li Suyi plunged through battles, while each immortal he met showed deference. And with the added help of the native cultivators, the process couldn’t be any smoother.
As for Chen Ming, he felt no anxiety about Li Suyi’s safety. You kiddin’? Think the Reckless Aura’s for show?
Chen Ming’s main worry laid in how many Earth Immortals the Purple Sun Pill Pavilion sent. He didn’t even linger on Celestial Immortal, as they were leaders of factions. They didn’t have the time for such trifles.
Chen Ming has been catching up on his reading of his late plunder. Disciples settled? Check. Fertilizer? Also check. The Beast King Records has lost its use, for the current beast tide at least. The disciples are too busy fighting to spare the time to even learn it!
Time to rise in power.
Chen Ming began reading scripture after scripture, with merits flowing out of him like water.
The scriptures of geniuses were not the same. They had them of all kinds. With every Dao Seed forming inside Chen Ming, time passed by and the end of the year marked his 2832nd Dao Seed while spending around a million merits. He just needed a bit more and he was at three thousand.
But this bit was the hardest.
At least Heavenly Court, Jade Lake, Void and Moon Palace’s cultivation methods took the cake.
With another round of spending, spiritual knowledge this time, he started passing the tribulation, one encompassing the latest thousand and eight hundred Dao Palaces reaching the Dao Seed stage.
Chen Ming saw his danger value sitting at 16,000. It’s not a great increase, but still good.
His two legacy disciples sent the word that Li Suyi finished settling the 28 stars two months ago. Ling Xian also did his part and they were now waiting for the beast tide to erupt.
With all things in order, Chen Ming decided to check up on Purple Sun Pill Pavilion, Let’s see what I’m up against.
He was fearless. If push comes to shove, I’ll just use that Celestial Immortal fortune immortal fruit. Not me of course, they’re useless to me.
Obsidian Temple’s abbot seems reliable enough.
But this was a last resort. For the new up and coming Yan Mountain, devoid of a Celestial Immortal, to get its hands on a Celestial Immortal fortune immortal fruit would stir the Heavenly Court, and not in a good way.
Feng Lu paid a visit to Chen Ming on Expansion Star, “Sire, Purple Sun Pill Pavilion came like a tide. I noticed twenty immortals! They arranged to hold a banquet and extended their invitation to sire. There’s more to it than meets the eye. Sire, you must take great care.”
Chen Ming has long been ready. He had enough pills, Dao Empyrean Bamboo was in his hand, and the black saber adorning his waist.
He asked, “What do you think?”
Feng Lu found Dao Empyrean Bamboo a prototype immortal equipment while the black saber indiscernible in his eyes. Uhm, well, it only had a hard aspect, alright, nothing outstanding.
“Sire wants to go with but a blade? It’s better if you have a few more plans in order.”
Chen Ming’s eyelid twitched, “That’s not what I meant! I was referring to the contrast between the black saber and my azure Daoist robe!”
Chen Ming stopped for a second, Why the hell am I asking a monk?
Chen Ming waved, “Never mind, I’ll go ask my head disciple!”
Finding Zhuo Qingyao, he asked, “Qingyao, what do you think? Does it fit?”
