Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 408: Ninth Crown Prince

The immortal world didn’t lack topics, and the hottest on everyone’s lips was Sage Ran Zui.

In the Heavenly Court, on a guest star, Headless Assembly’s priest Zhan Tianyang got his hands on a more thorough intelligence on the said Sage. His power dominated the monks.

To defeat your opponent, you’d need to know his weakness, to get into his mind.

A man like this, who popped out of nowhere, was the most difficult to gauge. He had no inkling as to what struck his fancy.

However, he was certain of one thing, he had something that irked his interest. Taking this time to rise in status only confirmed it.

This alone had no value, of course. He could surmise that the least he wanted was to win. This opponent was the most formidable.

He ate a radish, half a piece of dried meat and a bowl of porridge. He continued with tea and refreshments.

He was oblivious as to his opponent’s skill and chose to do… nothing. Any move would work against him, exposing himself, the reason for his undoing. No change brought endless changes.

Qing Long walked towards the Alldragon Stele with the meal, only to find no soul in sight.

Daoist Qing Long had to admit, Star Dragon Crown Prince, Uh, no, His Highness Hidden Emperor is gone.

He left again and the one to take care of Hidden Emperor is me.

Qing Long knew the significance of his vanish act had to fiends. He was even more clear as to how he himself would die.

The fiends would publish a book one day, entitled 18 Ways to Cook Daoist Qing Long. It would even have a recipe without cumin…

Qing Long looked around, “Oh, you little brat, why did you run off again?”

He filled his lungs with air. No one must find out about this, ever. It’s only me for now, only me suffering the crime of his disappearance. The punishment for such a heinous crime he could not endure.

Qing Long opened the lunch box and stuffed his mouth.

Eat, eat everything. This, at least, will keep me going for a while longer.

Sage Ran Zui’s descent spread like wildfire and everyone was looking forward to the play. Who would come on top in this match between Sage Ran Zui and the enigmatic Headless Assembly’s priest?

“Sage Ran Zui is of pure and virtuous heart. He will win!”

“That might not be the case though. This priest’s approach is swift and deadly. I fear victory is no foregone conclusion.”

“Sage’s skill forced even the two eminent Grandmasters of Buddhist Sect Golden Zenith into feeling inferior!”

“Let’s not forget the loss of the four High Priests.”

And the whipping the said High Priests were under…

“I heard Heavenly Court’s lost before he even set foot on the mountain.”

“He had it easy while Jade Lake’s got the worst of it. He reached the top and the shock of losing was too much to bear, slipping down the mountainside. He was this close to losing his poor old life.”

“Void’s wanted to take Headless Assembly’s priest as Master.”

“Moon Palace’s had it better. He climbed the mountain, achieved defeat, descended and then I hear talks of him falling on his death bed when he got to Moon Palace.”

Chen Ming sat in the pristine and fastidious carriage Second Crown Prince went to great lengths to fashion. He’d been on the road for a month now. The prince needed only to say his name and all roadblock were clearer than ever, every checkpoint nonexistent.

Chen Ming gained more in-depth knowledge about the Great Immortal Domains. Even softies like them would crush Yan Mountain like no tomorrow.

That’s a Tree of Martyrs holding power for you. He began to accept the power of his Heart Enlightenment Tree. Yeah, without seizing a divine and natural-born treasure, it is impossible to support such large Immortal Domains.

His carriage stopped before an ostentatious palace, with fine engravings and glittering jewels. A youth came out, bearing a golden armor carved with golden crows. His smug and proud demeanor was obvious from a li away. He wore a crown with golden phoenix filigree and a fine fiery cloak flowed down his shoulders.

He was stepping forth like a rising star, with eyes shining with the vigor of youth, “Presenting Imperial Father’s decree. Heavenly Court’s Ninth Crown Prince has come to invite Sage Ran Zui to the banquet!”

Second Crown Prince’s eyes sparked with hate. He still has Lord Father’s favor while eldest brother never received such treatment. Here he is, wanting to use this chance and get closer to Sage Ran Zui. Who’d had thought?

Second Crown Prince stood next to the carriage, “Ninth brother is welcoming Sage. Will sage wish to attend the banquet?”

Ninth eyed Second, “What willingness?”

This Crown Prince came in person, how can there be any possibility of refusal? Humph, second brother, you’re not bad.

Chen Ming opened the curtain and was met with Ninth’s visage, A stunning youth. However, that was the least of his shock. Second’s cultivation masked Chen Ming’s vision with question marks, yet that was not the case with Ninth, who he could see through everything.

…

Other auras were formed a thick layer on him, yet none compared with these. Sunlight Aura and Blazing Sun Aura are an obvious set! Nirvana Aura gives him a chance of having an undying body. Plus the Nine Suns Aura’s effect, he has a strong body like a hardship cultivator. He is almost unbeatable, stronger than any who attempts to take his life.

Domineering Aura had to be a weakened version of Tiger’s Aura

There’s actually a freak like this around!

Chen Ming peaked over his aura layers, Forget it, I mustn’t look, or it’ll just hurt.

Based on Chen Ming’s problem of increasing his danger value, he reckoned that his threshold was also 30,000.

In layman’s terms, In fact, me and Ninth Crown Prince are at the same level.
