Master of Untold Daos
chapter-317

Chen Ming left the crying part uncovered. He was unhappy, “Faceless never jokes. Your horizon is to narrow!”

“I have an offer you can’t refuse. If you can, then it isn’t perfect. From this moment forth, once I call out your name you must attend to me. Myself will not only give you your life but the authority for revenge.”

Bu Liuhen had nowhere to run. All creatures in the world fear death.

Chen Ming didn’t speak about fleeing, he would give him the means of revenge.

Bu Liuhen shut his eyes, his heart a raging torrent. Then opened them again, “You have a blade, and I am willing to grasp it.”

Bu Liuhen felt his surroundings change. He was sitting at a table, with the Faceless at the head.

Faceless folded his hands and held his knee. He was taking it easy.

Bu Liuhen had always been curious about them. They didn’t have a regular gathering, yet each order reached the Blades’ ears. Now he knew it was because of this bizarre mystical item.

In other words, space.

Chen Ming said as he glanced over, “You cultivate the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps, right?”

Bu Liuhen nodded, not privy to his aim.

Chen Ming said, “Give me its scripture. Uhm, I mean all of it.”

Bu Liuhen was clueless to his intentions. Or maybe he isn’t a Faceless at all and wants to cheat me out of my cultivation method at death’s door.

But what just happened was too freaky, making him wish to believe Chen Ming was who he claimed to be.

And even if he got tricked, it mattered not. I’m almost dead anyway.

Bu Liuhen said, “The anxious dragon descends, the majestic dragon rises… It travels the world, with Daos as its scales…”

Bu Liuhen recited the entire Eight Dragon-ascending Steps, but doubt never left him. He just couldn’t comprehend Chen Ming’s purpose in having him doing such.

Then he made a horrifying guess. Does he want to comprehend it to impart me with the knowledge of the last step?

That’s ridiculous!

Leaving aside the other needing good listening skills, I trained in this for hundreds of years. Others have no idea of its difficulty.

And I have been cultivating the last step for a hundred years yet it still slips my grasp. How can he comprehend it in an instant?

Chen Ming spoke in his mind, “Comprehend the entire Eight Dragon-ascending Steps!”

“Ding! Requires two million merits, continue?”

Chen Ming’s cursed in his heart, Isn’t this too damn much? Not even the Conquering Immortals Art is this expensive!

If not for Zhuo Qingyao reaching the Transcending realm, his merits wouldn’t have been enough.

Fine, fine, I no longer have the manners of an immortal anyway, and I’m in desperate need of immortal swords. Spiritual weapons have no place on an immortal battlefield. For now, it is useless to play the blinking trick. Let’s learn this first.

“Yes!”

“Ding! You comprehended Eight Dragon-ascending Steps. Though I’m not one to butt in my host’s foolishness, I do feel the need to add that you can’t use it to its full extent.”

Chen Ming rolled his eyes. The system lady’s tongue is as cheeky as ever.

Chen Ming glanced at Bu Liuhen, If spiritual power’s not enough then it’s not enough. I will just give him a show of its arcane secrets, it doesn’t need spiritual power anyway.

“I will only show it once. Look carefully. Eight Dragon-ascending Steps!”

Bu Liuhen riveted his eyes on him in stupefaction, ‘A freak, the Faceless are too horrifying. I just recite it once and he already learned it?

Chen Ming was just about to start, but he didn’t feel too confident in its success. He took out a praying mat, then groped for the bodhi tree fruit inside. I wonder if it’ll work. As he touched the fruit, his mind cleared, Eh? It works even here?

Just where in the world are we?

But it mattered not. It was fine as long as it worked. The fruit went through Chen Ming’s refining, yet one would only see the praying mat from the outside.

Chen Ming hand it to Bu Liuhen, “Sit.”

Bu Liuhen spread it in the wide hall, then sat cross-legged.

Chen Ming began his demonstration.

Enlighten Aura activated!

Enlighten Aura’s words of wisdom activated!

“Stepping in the air but not itself, but its real body instead, the feet shall tread the void. It is not like the Blinking Art, but true power breaking through the elusive!”

Chen Ming’s left foot stepped and an azure dragon soared beneath it!

This step alone took Chen Ming ten zhangs away. Chen Ming didn’t use any spiritual power yet it looked like he blinked!

The light in Bu Liuhen’s eyes shined ever stronger. He cultivated it for hundreds of years yet Chen Ming’s step unleashed its complete form.

With the help of Chen Ming’s sermon on Dao, his knowledge across this last hundred years refined, smoothened to completion. Chen Ming’s every phrase pointed at his doubts. His every step lifted the fog to many unclarities. His previous knowledge began to blend together, making a whole and changing into the final step!

Chen Ming then performed the final step, Stepping on the Azure Dragon!

The dragon wondered the heavens, giving birth to untold mysteries.

Chen Ming looked at him with slight disdain, “If not for me using some tricks, you would have never comprehended it with your meager perception. I cannot impart you with the perfect stage for now, as your comprehension isn’t enough to grasp it.”

Bu Liuhen’s heart shook like crazy, Sire Faceless comprehended the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps in its entirety. I cultivated it for hundreds of years yet never reach the completion stage while he did it in an instant. What is even more incredible is that he guided me through it!’

I’ve long been aware of my perception. Without his imparting, I would have taken several more hundred years.

What kind of existence is he?

He is immeasurable, unfathomable, and only revered.

He was never worthy of making this man intervene.

When he turned to Chen Ming, the later was back in his seat. Bu Liuhen kneeled before him, as if by unspoken agreement, “Lord has a blade, and subordinate has a life. I am willing to use my life and grasp sire’s blade!”
