Chapter 416: I’m too Poor

Beneath a violet vine, 38 steles laid.

Chen Ming walked among them, taking extra care to catch every detail. His merits sank lower and lower as the 38 steles took close to four hundred thousand points to get them in the Transcending realm.

Chen Ming had amassed ten million and now was the time to spend them.

One stele’s Dao Seed was Teleportation. The others were no less arcane, like Blink, Void Shatter, Handheld Buddhist Kingdom, Miniature World, Void Blade. It went to the point that even one such Dao Seed bared the name Arcane!

Its effect left Chen Ming feeling ineffable. It can make something appear out of thin air!

It was like a space-shifting art, but more in tune with the Space Dao.

Moreover, when he formed the Dao Seeds, the spiritual power he needed to use Eight Dragon-ascending Steps was halved!

It was the effect of greater understanding!

The closer one was to Dao, the delay and cost in releasing any arts plummeted.

With that sorted out, he turned to solve the steles’ position. Prince Cang Kong catered his every whim in getting everything ready.

He asked all the while, “Sage, which area will be affected?”

Moon Palace up and got a constellation without a hassle and was eager to know what Void got out of this operation. Chen Ming replied, “With how many fiends are, it won’t be so easy for them to snatch territories. Headless Assembly would make sure of that. I can only tell you this. I cannot unravel Heaven for you, as leaking its will make the moving pointless.”

Cang Kong was thinking, Fiends’ lands are too small, too small to split it. The Great Immortal Domains won’t ever be satisfied with just this and it will force Headless Assembly’s hand!

Cang Kong nodded, “I understand. With such a grand act, Sage is afraid it will trigger the Great Immortal Domains.”

Chen Ming smiled, “Child learns! Once I finish here, I will go to Heavenly Court and later to Jade Lake. Oh, your Scriptures Pavilion wasn’t on fire recently?

“No, never!”

Chen Ming’s heart was in glee, If it caught fire then I’ll get to peek over Void’s immortal arts and scriptures. The power they must contain! Yet he said, “That is good. The steles are important but it only brings one’s cultivation higher. Only immortal arts will consolidate one’s victory!”

The Great Immortal Domain’s cultivators training based on the steles weren’t few, and the same applied to those allowed to train in great immortal arts. After all, the stele cultivators, with higher cultivation brought tougher men, the ones that were bound to release impressive immortal arts in battle.

The ones who could train in them were princes only though.

The stele cultivators had to be those with prince qualifications, who proved their loyalty and gained merits. In some cases, they needed to climb to Emperor before training in grand immortal arts.

These grand immortal arts had to be safeguarded by the Emperor himself. He had no chance whatsoever of getting his deft hands on them.

The immortal world wasn’t Yan Mountain, where anyone could train in any immortal ranked art, where the myriads of arts you trained in were allowed as long as you didn’t kill yourself doing it.

The immortal world’s monopoly on grand immortal arts was held by the teeth.

All Emperors waned to secure their rule.

The same for soul weapons, needing his go word before any could use this weapon of mass slaughter.

Coming out of the void, Chen Ming removed his thoughts of getting something out of the Abyss Flower. This thing couldn’t be taken advantage of, the same as Moon Laurel. He could only stay here and think of other benefits he could take advantage of.

He’ll think of a way regarding Heavenly Court’s Fortune immortal fruits and Jade Lake’s peaches later.

Chen Ming ended his stop at Void and pressed on to Heavenly Court. Just when he set foot here, Second Crown Prince welcomed him with a detail of a thousand Gold Immortals. That ought to be enough respect.

Well, Chen Ming did leave the people amazed by his demonstration in Moon Palace. They all had a single emotion for him, respect!

Second caught his arm and couldn’t help but think if he had weird hobbies. As in man on man, man with man and the like.

Second fawned, “Heavenly Court has been waiting so long for Sage to visit.”

Chen Ming smiled, “There’s no cause for rush. Little monk had been thinking. These actions of mine are too great and will affect my safety, the constant source of my worries. I am traveling through the Domains and one day, darkness will come for me. I want to assemble a guard, to defend against any spies. For this, little monk will like to pick the men, just that in regards to fortune immortal fruits…”

Second pondered, “Sage, this year’s harvest was poor and many from the imperial court divided them by now. The amount I can provide won’t be large.”

Chen Ming furrowed his brows a hint, “Little monk’s death is of no consequence. I am all alone in this world after all, of insignificant value. Just that, if my plan fails…”

Second gritted his teeth, “I can’t give more than ten Supreme Gold Immortal fortune immortal fruits and a thousand Gold Immortal fortune immortal fruits. This is Heavenly Court’s resolve. Sage knows Headless Assembly’s gained the upper hand in this entire century war. We had to sell many of them to Headless Assembly.”

Chen Ming’s thought, How is this few?

You telling me I’m too poor?

Just think of that Heavenly Court imperial prince I robbed, this amount just doesn’t compare!

I used to think Yan Mountain Financial Group was the best, but now I know what it means to burst at the seams from riches!

Chen Ming began to reevaluate the four Great Immortal Domains. What kind of monsters are they? Just how strong was Headless Assembly to be able to contend against all of them?

Chen Ming said, “Sigh, it’s fine. This will do. I will wait for the next century war. This Sage’s design will earn me more and more fortune immortal fruits.”

Second smiled, “That is as good as done. Once Sage acts, Headless Assembly will suffer. I am going to visit Lord Father to ask the fortune immortal fruits you need!”

Chen Ming clasped his hands, “There’s no time to lose. Take me to your steles. I will show my skill and change your Fengshui!”

Second smiled, “I thank you, Sage. Follow me.”
