Master of Untold Daos
chapter-466-30041322

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

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

She kept going towards the top.

The 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!”

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

Your 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.

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

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

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

She understood that only Chen Ming could do it.

Zhuo Qingyao pouted, letting Chen Ming know her mind.

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

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

“Yes!”

In 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.

Chen 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.

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

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

Chen Ming nodded.

She 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.”

This 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.

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

“We can go further!”

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

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

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

Chen 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!”

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

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

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

This 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?”

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

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

Mourning clothes…

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

Wreaths…

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

Elegy…

Xu 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?”

Coffin…

Wu 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. ”

Burial clothes…

Ling Xian snapped, “You wanna fight?”

A 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!”

Li Suyi drew his saber.

The old Daoist cleared his throat.

And the two armies cooled.

It 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Chen 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.

Light shined on the body!

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

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

The 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.

The 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.

The furnace gave birth to scriptures!

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

One’s energy piercing the sky!

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

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

The birth of Untold Daos!

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

“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.”
