Master of Untold Daos
chapter-431-30041322

Chen Ming laughed at the Sacred Mountain, “Don’t you worry, the grand boss you’ve all been waiting for will soon arrive.”

He began walking closer to Destiny Star.

A week later found him setting foot on that star. He looked at the Star Chart then at a huge tree in the distance, “This is the place, and that must be the legendary Red Toon.”(1)

So this is the Land of Eternal Rest.

He went towards the Red Toon. It looked close yet oh so far. It took him no less than half a year to reach it. The star itself was gigantic!

In fact, Azure Dragon Star, Heavenly Court’s Big Dipper and Destiny Star were close in size.

Yet why, you’d ask, the travel speed on them was so fast? Simple really, because of teleportation arrays…

While Destiny Star was barren of cultivators and animals.

This only proved to show how large Red Toon was.

He examined the fantastic mahogany. It was the only tree immune to the erratic flow of time. Eons passed yet the majestic tree remained tall.

Chen Ming’s instinct led him to think of the Trees of Martyrs. It can be such a tree, just that it’s too bizarre.

And yet he hadn’t even found its effect.

Like his and the four Great Immortal Domains’ trees, each had a mystical effect. Yet the Red Toon in front of him didn’t seem to.

His mind ran a mile a minute. The only Trees of Martyrs he saw were in the fourth stage.

With such a tree, the Domains established a long-lasting empire, supporting their future for generations to come. And that was just the fourth stage. His instinct screamed at him the Red Toon was in the fifth stage.

The Tree of Martyrs grew in power beyond the cicada race’s control, throwing the time in chaos. This was the cause of their extinction.

He’d seen countless vestiges on his journey. Some were even strange to him, made from foreign refining methods. They were once buildings!

He could guess as to why everything was refined. It was to build a flying city.

In the ancient history of the Destiny Star lived a cultivating civilization who ended up lost in the ebb of time, all because of this tree.

As he approached it, Chen Ming noticed the leaves were as big as an island.

He stood beneath the tree, observing the land rich in ancient remnants, rotten under the endless passing of eons. The entire place went through countless changes making it impossible to know how it used to be.

Chen Ming recalled how the Land of Eternal Rest was beneath Red Toon. But where’s is that?

Whit how big it was who knew where the entrance was.

Hold on, based on my calculations, Red Toon is an ancient cultivator civilization’s Tree of Martyrs. They must have tampered the tree so there’s no need to go around it to look for the Land of Eternal Rest.

There had to be plenty of entrances.

A sudden cry reached his ears, “Help!”

Chen Ming turned towards its direction, That’s a sign of life. There’s a survivor?

He rushed towards it and found a child stuck under a dead tree.

Chen Ming watched the fruit he was holding with shock; it didn’t rot.

The child too could fight against the chaotic time.

He could guess what happened. The child took advantage of the time the tree matured and climbed it for the fruit. When the time withered the tree, it fell and trapped him.

Seeing the gaunt child, Chen Ming felt sympathy. Since his children, Pei, that’s not it! his disciples weren’t few. He helped remove the dead tree.

The child was courteous, “Thank you, uncle.”

He tried getting up but his leg was broken.

Chen Ming crouched next to the bloody leg and spoke softly, “Don’t move. I will heal it.”

He worked Illustrious Casket and covered the child’s leg with his spiritual power, healing it in no time at all.

The child was a mortal, and this was a simple task for Chen Ming.

He found with shock that auras enveloped him. And these auras were outrageous in power!

‘Last Cicada Aura

Description: Ages ago, the cicada race ruled the Galaxy, then calamity struck. They breached the doors of Time and overcome this ordeal, becoming their undoing. When all hope was lost, luck intervened and a single cicada survived. Being the sole survivor of his kind, this worked to strengthen him.

Effect: incredibly resilient

Strength Against Adversity Aura

Description: So what if you’re strong? So what if you’re unbeatable? So what if you flip the heavens? So what if you lift the earth? Strength against adversity is the intrinsic quality of the strong! The strong never fear anyone!

Effect: from the moment the fight begins, strength rises with time.

Abandoned by Time Aura

Description: perhaps out of carelessness, or ignorance, time overlooked him.

Effect: a certain chance to be overlooked by awareness.

Imperial Right Aura

Description: As a race that once ruled the Galaxy eons ago, the fate at the Emperor title rests solely on him.

Effect: outstanding!’

In Chen Ming’s heart, Oh my f*cking god!

He is a complete and utter monster!

Forget the fact that freaky Strength Against Adversity Aura changes in mid-battle, the Imperial Right Aura just screams at you he’s outstanding!

The meaning of strength against adversity was quite simple, it was a Main Character that was no match for the villain yet grew as he fought and killed the baddie in the process.

As for outstanding(2), it was way easier. It was safe to say this kid was a Main Character. He could make all those officials in power bow before him!

(1) it is a Chinese mahogany from a fable, one that lived for eight thousand years.

(2) it has a double meaning in Chinese. One is outstanding and the second that his poise is that of an MC in web novels.
