nZhuo Qingyao skipped up the mountain, going through the steps as if they weren’t there.

nShe reached Chen Ming and when he nodded, she understood.

nShe kept going towards the top.

n

n

nThe old Daoist spat, “I’ve lived for so long, but this is the first time I witness such crass disrespect for the Dao, yet it only gets worse!”

nThe two’s plan was clear to all eyes. Chen Ming wanted to let Zhuo Qingyao fetch the Untold Daos for him!

nYour common cultivator, for his Dao Heart’s sake, no matter what he faced he’d walk his path himself. Yet here was Chen Ming, who looked to be on the Dao Heartless side.

nTo the point, he even mumbled, “Blast it! If I knew she was fine, I would’ve never even try climbing!”

n

n

nZhuo Qingyao reached the bronze cauldron atop the mountain and pushed the lid, only to find it firmly shut.

nWith a light shout, she used all her power yet all was for naught.

nShe understood that only Chen Ming could do it.

nZhuo Qingyao pouted, letting Chen Ming know her mind.

n

n

nShe arrived next to him. She couldn’t get the Untold Daos for him, but she could at least carry him.

nZhuo Qingyao held his right arm for support, “Master, can you still walk?”

n“Yes!”

nIn this manner, a day and night passed. With Zhuo Qingyao’s assistance, Chen Ming climbed 1300 more stairs and was now 600 away from the bronze cauldron.

nChen Ming was on his last leg, weak and dizzy. At some point in holding his arm, it slipped into a peculiar position; a fully round one, and soft, very soft.

nClimbing a few dozen more stairs, Chen Ming lost his last scrap of strength and collapsed on the stone steps.

n

n

nZhuo Qingyao asked with concern, “Master, can you keep going?”

nChen Ming nodded.

nShe grabbed both his arms and carried him on her back. Chen Ming laughed, “I used to be the one to carry you when you were small. Now seems to be your Master’s turn.”

nThis brought her years back when Master had her on his back, fighting his way through a kingdom’s forces. Swords came from the front, piercing his chest and he didn’t even have the time to pull them out. All the while she was safe on his back.

n“Master, it’s fine. Isn’t it just a climb?

n“We can go further!”

nChen Ming laughed, “I can’t have a lass like you despise me. Keep going, Master can take it!”

nAfter another few dozens, Chen Ming said, “Let me rest a bit.”

n

n

nZhuo Qingyao found his body wreaked with cold sweat and was losing heat, “Master, how about we go back?”

nChen Ming shook his head, “We can’t. If I do, won’t those 2000 stairs I climbed be for nothing? That’s too much of a loss!”

nLing Xian watched him as if in a daydream, “Master sure is precise in his planning!”

nLi Suyi said, “I knew it ever since I saw Master’s expert price-cutting skills. ”

nDespite what they say, their eyes never left Chen Ming’s figure.

nThis got Moon Palace’s Crown Prince an idea, “Right, Moon Palace has some fine white cloth, top of the line. Does any of you want any?”

nChen Yu glowered at him, “You’re telling us to wear funeral clothes?”

nYan Shengxiao smiled, “I also have first-rate hemp threads. Don’t you worry, I’ll sell it to you at a bargain! ”

nMourning clothes…

nJin Xiangyu interjected, “Actually, Jade Lake has many white lotus flowers… ”

nWreaths…

nLeng Xue joined too, “In fact, I’m quite good with couplets.”

nElegy…

n

n

nXu San’er thought of something, “I remember a guy who kept shouting his coffins were high quality. Want me to place an order for you?”

nCoffin…

nWu Fu butted in, “Uh, people die, and since everyone shows their goodwill, I will also try, though I don’t have anything special. This frock should do nicely as burial clothes. ”

nBurial clothes…

nLing Xian snapped, “You wanna fight?”

nA Heavenly Court’s Earth Immortal added, “Uh, Ninth Crown Price just died, so you might as well accept them. Leave the arrangement to us! We’ll do it together. Our candles are perfect!”

nLi Suyi drew his saber.

nThe old Daoist cleared his throat.

nAnd the two armies cooled.

nIt was now that Zhuo Qingyao took a final step and reached the peak. Chen Ming on her back no longer made any sounds. She took him to the bronze cauldron and put his hand on it.

nThe lid inched forward and revealed the endless shining lights within.

nZhuo Qingyao could sense Chen Ming was still living, just that his body was cold, “As long as you are alive!”

nShe took Chen Ming off her back with great care, What do I do next?

nZhuo Qingyao thought for a bit then placed him inside. The bronze cauldron closed before she even noticed.

nThe people watched the cauldron as the sky shifted and revealed the deep stars it held. They saw a divine light fell on the cauldron.

nChen Ming’s body warmed up, his Dao injuries recovering, and his meridians healing, flowing with rich spiritual power. It was all thanks to the divine light.

nLight shined on the body!

nZhuo Qingyao looked for the source of the light but it was just too far away, not able to discern its origin.

nLing Xian laughed, “Master did it! Even Heavenly Dao approves of him. He has the right to wield Heavenly Dao’s authority!”

nThe rest of the people there seethed with frustration, Yeah, Chen Ming succeeded. He passed the Wordless Upheaval. Now even the Heavenly Dao acknowledged him and has the right to wield its power.

nThe fragments of the 3,000 Dao Palaces flew together into a blue Dao Furnace, and a scripture formed inside page by page. The sound traveled outward as golden by golden page appeared in the shape of a 3,000 pages thick scripture.

nThe furnace gave birth to scriptures!

nChen Ming pushed the lid away, and let out a deep breath. It scattered the clouds as if a gale swept them!

nOne’s energy piercing the sky!

nOne by one, Dao Seeds reformed in his body, floating withing the Dao Furnace.

nIt was as if they came from his flesh, they weren’t the result of cultivating but formed naturally.

nThe birth of Untold Daos!

nHis head peeked out of the cauldron, standing there with his eyes closed. His body was changing, growing stronger and stronger!

n“Ding! You completed the mission. Despite the twists and turns, it was impressive nonetheless. Reward: 8 billion spiritual knowledge, 0.8 million fame, and Decree of Untold Daos Aura.”
