Chapter 417: This Must Be ‘Like’

Second Crown Prince took him to a hall showered in enough gems, gold, sparkles and glitters to blind the eyes. Now this is bursting at the seams.

Chen Ming looked upon the steles inside and found the Fortune immortal scripture.

He found this Fortune more incredible as he delved further in. Since Heavenly Court had it, its power wasn’t just on the surface but ran deep and strong. Fortune seemed capable of creating life.

If he was Emperor, he would create a being with blind devotion to him alone. It would have a powerful body and take the Supreme Gold Immortal fortune immortal fruits.

If Chen Ming could think it, Heavenly Court must’ve implemented it by now.

No matter how it looked, Heavenly Court appeared the strongest. Its Emperor was not only in control of all Martyrs but had his own hidden army.

He had to admit, this was the real Great Immortal Domains. He looked too up close and missed the big picture. His new point of view gave him a glimpse of their true power.

Their size now brought with it the true meaning of dread crashing down on his head.

It outstripped the fear he felled in the Scarlet Tide Continent, akin to a Dao Initiation realm cultivator pelted with the power of a Sovereign.

It was ineffable, like gazing into the abyss, and then Chen Ming stood at its edge and spat in.

It’s just a game. Even if I admit my mistake I still need to keep it up.

The more he looked at his King Slayer Aura lvl 3 the more it made eyes at him.

But starring as a monk cast, he never activated it. He stayed true and faithful to the one and only Altruist Aura…

Chen Ming read the steles and 33 more Dao Palaces formed within. He kept a lid on his cultivation and didn’t bump them to the Dao Seed stage. It was not the time for a Heavenly Tribulation spree.

He was only 39 short of 3,000 Dao Seeds.

I can’t wait!

With the first Dao Seed as the start, he spent more than a dozen years to reach this point. Am I going to succeed at last?

After so many years, I will finish cultivating it?

Speaking of hard, was there anything Immortal Master Chen couldn’t cultivate?

And here came Second with a storage ring, “Sage, here are a thousand Gold Immortal and twelve Supreme Gold Immortal fortune immortal fruits. My persuasion showcasing your incredible skill bore fruit and Lord Father offered two more!”

Chen Ming smiled, “Little monk will remember it.”

Although he had the fruits, he didn’t use them. Chen Ming was at peak Earth Immortal in power and yet it proved to be to no avail in the greater scheme of things. First came survival, and when he held an army, wouldn’t his power surge?

He looked at Second, What naive child. How can you not dupe him?

“Oh, and their equipment…”

Second said, “Please set your worries aside, Sage. I prepared everything!”

Chen Ming nodded, “Child has learned. I wonder how Second Crown Prince feels about Crown Prince.”

Second picked up on his meaning with a smile, “Standing united with ninth brother, and the fact Heavenly Court knows of my relationship with Sage, eldest brother is under pressure from me! It’s all thanks to Sage!”

“Very good. My next course of action will impact many aspects and I need to have all Great Immortal Domains for it to affect. Second Crown Prince needs to wait in Heavenly Court and write to me. Little monk will be working hard to be the High Priest of all Domains. I will now be leaving for Jade Lake.”

“I will prepare Sage for the journey ahead.”

Heavenly Court and Jade Lake weren’t that far from each other and Chen Ming rode the carriage for three months.

Just venturing around the Galaxy took him two years. In the Galaxy, time was different.

The carriage descended on Jade Lake, an endless lotus pond. A woman in blue clothes rowed among the white lotuses on a lotus boat. She settled the boat near the bank and bowed, “I am Jin Xiangyu and welcome Sage to Jade Lake.”

This was his first meeting with a woman matching Zhuo Qingyao’s looks. Even Fairy Star Dragon fell short by ten percent.

Jin Xiangyu’s demeanor was elegant like a willow, refined like a blue lotus, and a visage unmarred of makeup. She heralded the fall of kingdoms. A snow-white hand and a fair arm, with a cinnabar dot on her forehead, completed a breath-taking image. However, it wasn’t the bewitching beauty akin to Fairy Star Dragon’s, but one that stirred compassion and deep feelings for her, to be forever cherished and loved.

Zhuo Qingyao was the hero type. Nope, wrong. Zhuo Qingyao is volatile, just like flipping the pages of a book. Jin Xiangyu, however, was the humble daughter type. He was beginning to wonder how such a princess remained pure in a place like Jade Lake.

Jade Lake was different than the rest, it had an Empress with a princess as successor.

The one before him was the future Empress.

He was certain of her importance when he found the National Grace, Divine Fragrance Aura, and Ninth Crown Prince’s danger value on her.

The restricted value wasn’t that easy to boost, yet hers was 900 higher than Ninth’s.

When it came to auras, Chen Ming couldn’t tell, yet sounded just as awesome as Ninth’s, with just as vague descriptions. Only fighting her would tell.

With Chen Ming’s profound knowledge as a basis regarding non-Main Character types, the obscurer the aura was the greater their effect. Take my King Slayer Aura for example. Read its description yet not a word you’ll get!

Chen Ming prayed, “I thank the leading princess from coming to greet me.”

He walked on the lotus and took a seat, to Jin Xiangyu’s full-bloomed flower-like smile, “Please mind your seat, Sage, I will begin rowing.”

The lotus boat drifted atop the pond, among the swaying lotuses, combining their fragrance with Jin Xiangyu’s and stirring his heartstrings. He was enjoying the pleasant view and breathtaking scent when the image of Zhuo Qingyao’s tear-stained features while making noodles flashed in his mind.

Why am I recalling her now? Is it possible that I like the lass?

Oh, but of course I like Zhuo Qingyao. He always liked her… and Chen Lingyu, Li Suyi, Ling Xian and Wan Baqian. He liked them all. As a Master, he could find no faults in them.

Why take ’em in if otherwise? To annoy me?
