Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 419: Fu…

Moon Palace.

Moonlight graced the ground beneath the Moon Laurel, caressing Moon Palace’s Crown Prince. He looked at the sky, “The meaning behind the Wordless Curse is that only those with the ambition to be the very best in the world have the right to wield its overbearing power, isn’t it?”

“Regardless of who, all shall die!”

“Guards, go and see the terms of entry into this Sacred Mountain!”

One man rushed to report, “Your Highness, anyone can enter as long as they are Earth Immortal. If one becomes Celestial Immortal therein, he’ll be banished!”

Crown Prince looked at himself, “And I am a Celestial Immortal. I wonder if I need to lower my realm.”

The man replied, “Your Highness, you must know of the severe hardship this course entails!”

Crown Prince smiled, “Do we have time to mind such matters? You have always been in the dark to the scourge this offender can unleash upon this world.”

“Have you ever witness such a calamity?”

Jade Lake.

Chen Ming was picking up the new home for the steles when Jin Xiangyu rushed over, “Sage, have you noticed the change in the sky?”

He noticed the Sacred Mountain, Isn’t it just the Wordless Curse? Heavenly Imperial Dao Cannon spoke of it. “It is the Wordless Upheaval. A man exists in this world that cultivates a constitution that makes even gods weep, unleashing the Wordless Curse. All cultivators need only enter it and kill this offender.”

He continued, “Willing to train such dreadful constitution, he has to pass Heavenly Dao’s most ruthless ordeal. Only by crushing all the people will the ambitious offender have the right to receive the Wordless Curse’s power! Have you made clear the terms of entry?”

Jin Xiangyu said, “I sent someone to investigate. The highest realm is Earth Immortal. If one becomes Celestial Immortal, he’ll be driven out.”

Chen Ming laughed, “Who can this wretched man be? Who is this tragic being facing a sea of Earth Immortals?”

Chen Ming couldn’t take it anymore, his smile broadening, “What do you think? Won’t Heavenly Dao rob this miserable fool of his life? Hilarious! How do you guess he’ll die?”

And here came system lady’s voice.

“Ding! You triggered the mandatory S-ranked storyline mission, Untold Tribulation. Objective: live. Reward: hundred million spiritual knowledge, hundred million fame (based on rating), Decree of Untold Daos Aura.

Decree of Untold Daos Aura (the Decree prefix is the rank of the aura)(1)

Description: divinity radiates on the hundred veins, the furnace raises the thousand meridians, spirit pierces the blue sky, the untold Daos live within me!

Effect: Strip!

Strip description: aura removal!”

Jin Xiangyu said, “He will undoubtedly be beaten to an inch of his life and beyond by the world’s geniuses. Torn to ribbons and pulverized flesh, are all a possibility. Yet Sage is still in the mood to mock him.”

Chen Ming’s face froze like never before.

Fu…

Heavenly Tribulation, I, Chen Ming, will ****(thousands of words omitted). Just wait ’til I teach you a lesson!

Making so many passes on me, Heavenly Tribulation, I will show you a thing or two!

Jin Xiangyu saw him stiff all over, “Sage, how come you aren’t laughing?”

Chen Ming spoke with sincerity, “I believe he is pitiful enough as it is. We need to leave him with his last shred of dignity.”

Jin Xiangyu said, “How can we? He is rampant and poised with savagery, challenging the world’s Earth Immortals. I can’t wait to see how graceful, how refined this offender’s bearing is now!”

Chen Ming cast her a long and deep look, I can’t even take Jin Xiangyu on and need to face Heavenly Court, Void, Moon Palace, Headless Assembly and fiends’ tide of geniuses. This goes beyond the issue of handling just ten.

But this damn mission went out of its way to make it mandatory!

I need to live. Chen Ming caught onto something.

Checking the rating again, I haven’t got to finish even a handful of A missions and here I am with an S on my head!

The reward aura alone said it all of how hard this tribulation of his would be. Its effect is strip, strip auras!

It must mean it renders auras useless.

Though it won’t boost my power, it is still strong.

This was his first time finding an aura with a prefix. It had to be an overlord among auras! This strip will restrain the auras. I need to sneak away and get stronger. Or I won’t even get to know how I died!’

He spoke, “Send notice to Zhan Tianyang. I want to speak to him. Through good faith, I decided to go to Headless Assembly and meet him in person.”

Jin Xiangyu said, “Sage, don’t endanger yourself!”

Chen Ming prayed, “If not I, who then shall enter hell? With the Wordless Upheaval at our doorstep, I need to reason with Headless Assembly. The offender is our public enemy. The four Great Immortal Domains and Headless Assembly need to lay down their hatred and work together in removing this offender for good.”

“But Sage, this is too risky.”

“No other choice. I am doing this to end this offender and smother him in his cradle. Headless Assembly should have the same thought. You needn’t warn me, my decision is final.”

“Alright. I will send the letter.”

Chen Ming sat straight in his room, eyes surveying the Jade Lake’s star chard only to settle on a star called Destiny Star.

“So here is where the Destiny Star lies, in such a precarious position. ”

All stars had the Sacred Mountain peak. Many cultivators went to explore it and found others like them on it, “Where are you from?”

“Heavenly Court.”

“Fiends.”

“Such an odd place. We are from different corners yet met together in the same spot.”

“Did any try to get out?”

“The one that did, returned to their point of entry.”

“What’s the purpose of this thing?”

“I believe it’s a stage. People from all around can enter and compete. I am fiend Niu Dazhuang, does anyone wish to teach me?”

“Niu Dazhuang, was it? I will teach you.”

Bellow the Sacred Mountain, Ling Xian and Li Suyi watched the cultivators competing. They tried it and new Earth Immortals could enter. Li Suyi said, “Second senior brother, what do you think of them?”

Ling Xian looked on with firm eyes and nodded, “Quite fat!”
