Floating around for an hour, Chen Ming arrived on a lotus platform with a dozen maids laying in waiting. They bowed in respect, “Please, Sage!”

He sat on a lily pad and Jin Xiangyu clapped, “High Priest is a heart monk and does all in his power for the better of Jade Lake. We cannot slight Sage’s effort. Guards, bring Sage the peaches.”

An old man brought a jade plate, spreading an intoxicating aroma of peaches. The wrinkled elder stooped before Chen Ming, “Please look, Sage Ran Zui. These are Jade Lake’s peaches. The largest one extends one’s life by ten thousand years.”

Chen Ming nodded as he continued, “The one at the side is Jade Lake’s millennial peach, providing a thousand years to one’s lifespan. As for the other two, they are the century and decade peaches.”

“Enjoy.”

Jade Lake is quite pragmatic, coming with such a heavy gift.

He didn’t stint from taking one and bit it. The aroma assaulted his mouth along with crisp texture and tasty flavor.

He took his time finishing the ten thousand years peach and was brimming with vitality. It does have the power to defy fate. His body felt so cozy and relaxed, just like floating.

The odd feeling gripped him next, the feeling of his life-extending farther and farther.

He was a Dao Comprehending realm cultivator to begin with, with a mere 300 years of life expectancy. Yet now he could lavish in thousands!

While eating the other three, Jin Xiangyu looked to him with anticipation, “Sage, how are Jade Lake peaches?”

He smiled, “Not a bad taste, but it needs work on satiety. Taking some more ten thousand ones ought to overdo it, so a few of those decade peaches should fill my belly.”

Jin Xiangyu: …

Elder: …

Forgoing the taste of them, you still want to fill your belly?

Jin Xiangyu’s smile was forced and painful, “Guards, bring ten more decade peaches.”

The year peaches were scraped, thanks to his new title. So eating a few decade ones wasn’t beyond his authority.

Stuffed with peaches, he began, “Bring me to your steles. I, as the High Priest of all Domains, can’t linger for long.”

Jin Xiangyu called for a matron to guide him.

Jiu Qiansui turned to the elder when he was gone, “What do you think, Jiu Qiansui?”

The servant attending to Chen Ming was Jiu Qiansui! People spoke of him rotting in Jade Lake’s prison, but appearance could be deceiving.

Jiu Qiansui laughed, “Just a thief.”

Jin Xiangyu said, “Did we just fed the ten thousand peach to a dog?”

Jiu Qiansui laughed, “Yet this particular thief reached the High Priest position in all Domains and looks like he himself reached a high state. He is now playing with people’s hearts. Two words describe him: peerless talent. I am eager to play chess when he unwinds the deadlock.”

Jiu Qiansui asked, “Can Jiu Qiansui tell what he’s after?”

Jiu Qiansui shook his head, “No, but this makes it interesting. There’s nothing exciting about knowing the outcome of a game. Only with patience will one hook a large catch, while giving him the money to wander as he likes.”

Chen Ming stood on another lotus platform where lotus petals opened to reveal the 32 steles inside. His eyes flash as he passed from one to another. He was missing 32 and these would finish his task.

Chen Ming formed the last 32 Dao Palaces and felt his 3,000 Dao Palaces ebb and flow. Even with the four Great Immortal Domains in control of everything in the world, Chen Ming had achieved the completion of Limitless Dao Body!

Zhan Tianyang was eating radish and jerky, the perfect combo, and not too fat either.

A sound echoed throughout the sky and he felt a sudden and shocking change spreading. He rushed out and turned to the sky. The thin horizon was broken by the peak of a majestic Sacred Mountain jutting before his eyes.

The bowl slipped from his hand and shattered into a thousand pieces. What is that?

This scene occurred across the entire Galaxy. It was a sacred mountain, yet incomplete.

Zhan Tianyang recalled the legend his Master’s Master spoke of once. There was a cultivation in the world that, once completed, its power and skill was beyond anything else, followed by the Wordless Upheaval.

And this Wordless Upheaval stemmed from the legendary Mortal Tribulation!

It was known as the Wordless Curse, the worst to ever exist in this world.

To cultivate such a devastating art, one had to pass the world’s ordeals!

He must be walking a path in defiance to the normal cultivating way and the world would, in turn, descend its plagues upon him. The worst of them all was the Mortal Tribulation.

It consisted of all the world’s cultivators bearing its fangs on the offender, with impunity. The peak of the Sacred Mountain rose on each star allowing entry to cultivators who met its terms.

To be honest, the Heavenly Tribulation would use all its power in the scope of its limits to smite down the offender.

Wanting to control the world’s greatest power, to wrest Heavenly Dao’s authority, the offender would be put to trial.

Zhan Tianyang thought of the saying, people long to call out King Wordless, one who’s bright robe could never be hidden by the night!

“The world is changing.”

Heavenly Court.

The Emperor’s relaxed demeanor focused as his eyes shot open and gazed upon the peak with a sigh, “Chaos is coming. I never thought a man wanting Heavenly Dao’s power to himself would appear.”

“But this will expose everyone’s cards. It is a huge gamble and the opponent sets the entire world as the stakes. No one will hide their aces for long.”

Void.

The void split and an Abyss Flower blossomed on the peak, only to vanish soon after, with a lingering voice behind it, “Send my order for Void Crown Prince to come out of seclusion.”

Jade Lake.

Jiu Qiansui lifted his head, setting his sights on the peak, “The Wordless Upheaval is here, but whose?”

Jiu Qiansui divined, only to shake his head, “I can’t divide. Can’t divide means he has the ability.”

He sensed someone approaching behind him, Jin Xiangyu, and spoke, “Get ready, the newcomer is impressive!”
