Master of Untold Daos - Chapter 327

Chapter 327: My Sect Has a Tree
Chen Ming was stumped, Why is this Ember so hard to get?

Is my acting sub-par?

Chen Ming mulled it over. Ember was a step from being a true soul weapon, one used by Martyrs. That meant a soul weapon should be linked to the Tree of Martyrs.

Chen Ming said firmly, “My sect has a tree!”

“Ding! Ember’s assessment reached 80%… assessing continues…”

In Chen Ming’s mind, Looks promising. He fished out a bodhi tree fruit and smiled, “This is its fruit!”

“Ding! Ember’s assessment concluded. You obtained Ember.”

Chen Ming drew it and felt its power. It was bursting with energy, just like a dragon.

To be all honest here, its effect didn’t really improve his power. Good or bad, I at least learned many sword arts that can barely measure up to it. Though by no means I can use Ember to its full power.

My best weapon still remains Dao Empyrean Bamboo. Looks like I need to figure out how to upgrade it to immortal grade.

The fatty stood agape at Chen Ming gaining ownership of Ember. That’s it!? He just said he has a tree and Ember up and accepted him!

Does this line has a secret power?

The fatty took out a piece of immortal equipment he just cheated from someone, and, on an even firmer tone, said, “My sect has a tree!”

Chen Ming found his act amusing. He wore Ember on his back and tied it with a chain as failsafe.

“It’s no use. You’re not suited to it.”

The fatty threw a sour look, “Then how do I make one recognize me?”

“I reckon you will have a higher chance of getting a chessboard or maybe an abacus. Copper coins might be the easiest!”

Fatty didn’t understand. Chen Ming rummaged through his storage ring and took out a copper coin. What do you know? There is such an immortal equipment. It must have come from one of the Headless Assembly members. They all have quirky things so no use fussing over nothing. He said, “Try this.”

The fatty held the sky blue copper coin but even after twenty breaths, no reaction developed, “This isn’t right. It still not working!”

Chen Ming sincerely said, “Your stance is all wrong. Come, I will teach you a chant. I am bestowed with the heavenly fortune, I will smoothly earn money! Keep in mind, you need to point a finger to the sky and another down to earth.”

The fatty faked seriousness as he pointed his left at the sky while shouting, “I am bestowed with heavenly fortune!”

Then pointed his right towards the earth, “I will smoothly earn money!”

The fatty’s face change into amazement, “Eh!? It’s actually real! I got an immortal equipment! I lived for so long, seen countless immortal equipment, and now I finally have one for myself!”

Chen Ming reached for the coin and put it back, “En, will you remember it now? This stance is what helped you!”

Fatty felt like crying, Come on! What are you trying to pull taking it from me?

Fatty said, “Grand Immortal, with such a fate between us, it would be best if you can spare me that coin.”

Chen Ming was pissed, “Nonsense! We are neither family nor close friends. How can I just give you immortal equipment? These are all for my disciples!”

The fatty lowered his head, muttering, “Mother, son will avenge you. Even if I have to suffer through hell to do it, son will never renounce it!”

That fateful rainy night came to his mind. In the Heavenly Court’s harem, his mother collapsed in a pool of blood because of a steamed roll. His identity was reviled, Emperor Zi Wei’s illegitimate child. His mother was but an immortal merchant’s daughter. The emperor noticed her beauty and after a night of indulgence, he came along.

Thus, his existence was an embarrassment in the Heavenly Court. None of his brothers liked him and even killed his mother. Yet Emperor Zi Wei turned a blind eye.

For an immortal merchant’s daughter, for a vile spawn, it would have turned into an ugly scandal. Why would he ever care?

That wasn’t to say if he had outstanding talent in cultivating it wouldn’t have spared him from all this cruelty. But he wasn’t worthy of even immortal equipment, rummaging through most of Heavenly Court’s armory.

The simplest judgment for a man’s cultivating talent in the immortal world was an immortal equipment’s assessment of him.

When immortal equipment accepted someone, his talent went beyond the common people.

But none acknowledged him.

His cultivation was even more dreadful, to the point he cultivated in the Heavenly Court to this age only to reach the Dao Initiation realm

Many of his brothers were in the Dao Comprehending realm at birth.

And at this moment, an immortal equipment accepted him. Chen Ming eyed him, He can’t be having some secret past, right?

I understand too little about this fatty and can’t accept him so directly into the fold. Once accepted, he would become Chen Ming’s legacy disciple. Only such status would allow control over Yan Mountain’s business.

Chen Ming activated Enlighten Aura, a solemn look in his gaze. His words held a deeper mystery, “In truth, you are a genius. None can stand up to a genius, a man of extraordinary talent. But no one has yet to find where your genius lay.”

Thinking about this fatty’s suitable cultivation method, it would most likely be from the cloud attribute. With Temptation Aura, he was qualified to be a mystic. The chances are this fatty never tried cultivating a cloud cultivation method. With Chen Ming’s extensive knowledge of cultivation methods, he easily spotted the fatty’s smeared spiritual power.

Chen Ming also enabled this month’s words of wisdom. I’ll just give him a taste of true power then let him come to me for apprenticeship.

“There’s a Dao in the world, valuing but few coins. The you of now shall take it as the Ten Values Dao. Impart your wealth and glory onto me, and I shall impart the will of heaven onto you. A copper coin has two sides, one filled with fortune, the other smeared with dread. Fate comes at every flip, with one’s hand raised towards the Heaven…”

Chen Ming recited the Ten Values Dao in a slow and precise manner. Fatty was enthralled and, with Chen Ming’s Enlighten Aura in full effect, his eyes flashed again and again. He was submerged in the Dao.

The fatty felt exalted with every word. He closed his eyes, never before listening to such a simple scripture. This scripture seemed to be made solely for him!

In his body, a Dao Seed slowly, but surely, took form, one named Ten Values Dao.

When he woke up, Chen Ming was gone. He was half a li away but fatty had no intention of letting him escape.

The fatty chased without delay, “Master, Master, wait for disciple!”

He cultivated for so long but reached the Dao Sense realm thanks to Heavenly Court’s medicines. His identity might be unsavory but he still received a few Dao Sense ranked pills. He ate until this realm, never to grow again.

Yet now, Chen Ming not only helped him in gaining ownership of immortal equipment but also spoke a bit from a scripture and he already formed a Dao Seed!

This was not a result of a fortune immortal fruit, but a Dao Seed formed from his own cultivating!

How could he ever let Chen Ming get away at such an important moment? If he could pay respects to such a man, he would soar!
