This Sage just moved at random and settled a constellation! He didn’t run amok but has great skills!

No, great skills don’t cut it, it should be heavenly skills!

If I don’t stop that decree, god knows where I’ll end up!

I need to stop that order!

On fiends’ side, Bey Junwu read Chen Ming’s letter, Sage Ran Zui is amazing. It wrote: ‘Since you have Star Dragon Crown Prince you should withdraw. Wait for the two Star Dragons to mature and stop provoking the four Great Immortal Domains. I know of Star Dragon Crown Prince’s existence yet abstained exposing him. This is my gesture of goodwill toward fiends. I know this sudden move will draw the Domains’ eye, but you just need to say I told you to do it.’

I have given you respect, and you must respond with the same coin.

Even Bey Junwu had to admit, his words held wisdom. The fiends should conserve their strength and protect Star Dragon Crown Prince.

Since it was of benefit, and Sage Ran Zui said it, there would be no mention of Star Dragon Crown Prince after this was over. He could only accept it.

At the very same moment, Daoist Qing Long was stuffing himself before Alldragon Stele, “So much care for Star Dragon Crown Prince comes with excess suffering. I’m close to bursting!”

In order to avoid any suspicion, he ate his meal as well as Chen Ming’s. However, this lunch box wasn’t your run of the mill. The amount was huge, as only this would support a strong body. It was packed with all a growing body needed, as well as medicines. Even a Supreme Gold Immortal couldn’t hold it down.

He was a spiritual cultivator, unlike a Star Dragon whose body was tough as nails and handled this amount like nothing.

It was all to hoodwink others into believing he didn’t lose sight of Star Dragon Crown Prince from right under his nose. He had to keep on eating, in tears.

Daoist Qing Long noticed the stele and looked as if he understood its words, “This is the Dragon Breath!”

If I train it, I won’t burst. It’s a cultivation method related to the Devouring Dao, best at swallowing.

Train!

Or not and I’ll explode. At least I have a way out!

Train!

Daoist Qing sat before it and started practicing.

Back to Cang Kong, he was walking towards void when a body flashed out, the same Supreme Gold Immortal. He pointed at him, “Did you took it?”

Supreme Gold Immortal looked innocent, “Not yet. I was going to. Don’t worry, prince, I will be swift!”

Cang Kong said, “Give it to me.”

The Supreme Gold Immortal had no clue what this brought about but handed it over nonetheless. Cang Kong breathed easy.

He was swift in getting to his room and falling to his knees before the Abyss Flower, “Emperor, I am guilty! I was wrong in blaming Sage Ran Zui. He didn’t move a soldier and yet he helped Moon Palace in capturing the entire Lasting Jade Constellation!”

Laughter rumbled out, “Never mind, you followed me for three millennia. It seems our Sage has some skill, or he wouldn’t have taken all four positions. Go and accommodate each of his requests!”

Cang Kong said, “I am grateful for Emperor’s pardon. I will abide!”

On Chen Ming’s side, when he got to see Cang Kong again, he stood in his room looking like a loyal old dog, in fact, just as a loyal old dog!(1)

Those fiend chaps are dimwits but not too dim at least, enough to understand human speech.

Cang Kong said, “As per High Priest’s order, I will take you to our steles.”

Chen Ming’s heart jumped, Good! I’ll get to see all Domains’ steles after all.

He needed to gaze upon the steles and think of a way to come unscathed at the same time. My lies have the four Great Immortal Domains go ‘round and ‘round. If I don’t cope, not even 3,000 lives will save me from their wrath.

Oh, before I skip town, I better get something for those broken toys of mine back home. “Ding! Your legacy disciple, Li Suyi broke through to the Immortal realm. Reward: one million merits.”

Oh, besides Wan Baqian, the youngest disciple with meager cultivation, only Ling Xian was left behind.

When he advances, I can have another lottery spree!

Chen Lingyu was the first, who should be at mid-level Earth Immortal by now, and Zhuo Qingyao the second, still the undisputed ruler of all disciples.

He had it on Ling Xian’s wretched breakthrough priors that his next one would hail him to the peak of Earth Immortal.

Dao Canon’s breakthrough would carry one to the peak of the next realm.

Chen Ming would have to find the next chapter of Dao Canon once he did this.

Let’s not think about this for now and enjoy the stele view. Void’s rocks have to have some good stuff.

He followed Cang Kong back to his house, without showing an ounce of doubt. He played the role of being in complete knowhow of destiny, that nothing escaped his eyes.

Void’s people had always carried themselves with mystery, not on par with Headless Assembly one might add, but still the most enigmatic people in the four Great Immortal Domains. It was because their Tree of Martyrs was unknown.

Moreover, Void was the oldest of Immortal Domains, always faithful to their enigmatic demeanor.

Chen Ming saw the violet vine coming out of the void and the crystal blossom adorning it, the Abyss Flower!

He watched with calm as his heart ran in overdrive.

He went through so many scriptures that many void-related passed his hands. One even had a description of Abyss Flower.

Void’s power exceeded his imagination. The Abyss Flower grew in the void and, while others traveled for years, they only needed months.

The prince touched the Abyss Flower and space shimmered, revealing a violet tunnel, “Sage, after you. I will be your guard!”

Chen Ming nodded, with no change in his gait as he trod on. The prince stood next to him and wrapped him in immortal power. As they stepped forward, Chen Ming saw countless stars linked by the Abyss Flower.

Cang Kong led him to a star and began to fly.

In Chen Ming’s heart, If I hadn’t gotten the High Priest position, I would’ve never caught a glimpse of Void steles for as long as I live.
