Master of Untold Daos Chapter 312 - A Monk Lies in a Temple that Lies on a Mountain

Chapter 312: A Monk Lies in a Temple that Lies on a MountainHe earned ten million spiritual knowledge when he vanquished Ghost Immortal. After another round of growth, his danger value broke through the ten thousand mark, reaching 10700, an immortal’s power.

Handling a few simple Sovereigns couldn’t be easier.

An old monk walked down the mountain on a lotus leaf, solemn and respectful to Chen Ming, “Calm your anger, fellow Daoist, my apprentices are ignorant. I ask that you spare them.”

Chen Ming returned the stars to his back as the old man rebuked, “Your rude words earned you a month of kneeling before the gate. Reflect on your behavior!”

Forced into obeying, the monks kneeled one by one.

The old monk grabbed Chen Ming’s arm with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, the road must’ve been hard, please come with me on the mountain. Yuan Ji, make haste and prepare alms!”

They entered the hall in which laid the image of wors.h.i.+p and continued towards the monk’s dwelling. The old monk poured tea for Chen Ming, “Please forgive me for welcoming you in such a frail mountain dwelling.”

Chen Ming smiled, “It’s of no bother. Myself does not mind such things.”

The old monk let out a smile. Chen Ming’s move filled him with joy. It wasn’t to say he felt weaker than Chen Ming, but it was because of the array. It was common knowledge an array was a weapon of ma.s.s destruction!

In times of war, a single array master counted as many cultivators of the same stage.

If Chen Ming was to help, there might still be a chance in repelling this beast tide!

The old monk began, “This humble monk, Feng Lu, was about to find fellow Daoist and discuss on the beast tide. I have not foreseen fellow Daoist was so filled with righteousness that he would come to us.”

“A good neighbor always helps another!”

“You’re too kind, but reward must still be given.”

“From what I’ve seen, the savage beasts’ power has yet to reach the peak. The Abode of Immortals should have the power to defeat them.”

“Fellow Daoist is unaware but the beast tide has yet to arrive. If you wipe them out now, their numbers will only grow upon their arrival.”

“What does this mean?”

“This humble temple lays on a faraway star, with its path to immortality leading to the Desolate Star. As the Desolate Star holds innumerable savage beasts, they cast out those they do not need onto Obsidian Star. If we root out the beasts here, it will only invite more.”

“That can’t be! Are you not able to seal the path to immortality?”

Feng Lu gazed in shock at him, “Fellow Daoist must have come from a star that owns its keys. In the Galaxy, our poor little temple has lost the right to a star, with its keys not in our hands but in Headless a.s.sembly’s control. It’s been three hundred years since there was a Faceless from the Headless a.s.sembly, bringing much chaos to the Star River. There are rumors of the Jade Lake and the Heavenly Court moving to gain dominance over these three Star Rivers. Now, the rivers are crawling with both sides’ people, entering a deadlock and bringing about an era of disorder.”

Chen Ming’s thought, F*ck me sideways! I just knew the Headless a.s.sembly would give me a rotten territory. Fine! This only means they want me to wrestle the three Star Rivers from Heavenly Court and Jade Lake!

But now is not the time, I need to have a stronger force. Under the cooling shade of the tree, my words will have more weight to those little disciples.

Chen Ming said, “I see it now. Leave it to me. When the beasts arrive, so shall I. And if chance would have it that I won’t, you can go on the Expansion Star, where I met Yuan Ji, and ask help from my disciples.”

Feng Lu watched him in amazement, “I would never have guessed fellow Daoist’s disciples are such preeminent cultivators!”

“No need to overpraise them, it will go to their heads. I have come today for directions. I want to know how to reach the River Office.”

“Why would fellow Daoist go there? The River Office is in chaos, danger lurking at every corner. A rumor says the Heavenly Court is hunting down traitors!”

“There is one, amongst my disciples, that reached the Chakra stage but has no suitable immortal ranked cultivation method. With no better choice, I can only go look in the River Office.”

Feng Lu understood, He is paving the way for his disciple. He guessed that Chen Ming was in search of an immortal ranked cultivation method, for which the Obsidian Temple has no way to help. He had to keep his own cultivation methods safe.

Feng Lu said, “Fellow Daoist can’t leave without having an ident.i.ty. And since fellow Daoist just left his star, you do not have one. Let your name enter the Obsidian Temple, and allow me to settle this matter.”

Chen Ming bowed, “Many thanks! Oh, can the Abode of Immortals offer me cultivation methods below the rank of immortal?”

Feng Lu pondered, It cannot be helped. If it were any other, he would refuse to give a down payment. First, Chen Ming’s strength could help Obsidian Temple. Second, Obsidian Temple requested help from other stars, but only he accepted. Third, Chen Ming’s star was below Obsidian Temple. It could be said the Obsidian Temple was Yan Mountain’s entrance to the Galaxy and wasn’t afraid of Chen Ming going back on his word.

Feng Lu rose, “Fellow Daoist, follow me, I will guide you to our Scriptures Pavilion!”

Chen Ming smiled, “Many thanks!”

The scriptures there weren’t few, at least ten thousand. But Chen Ming reckoned he would only form a few hundred Dao Seeds. Many scriptures led to forming the same Dao Seed, the only difference laid in the path treading it.

Spending a month in the Obsidian Temple, Chen Ming read every book, forming 532 Dao Seeds. His total reached a thousand and a half, midway to three thousand.

But Chen Ming knew this was only the start of this endeavor, and the last few Dao Seeds would require much more effort from his part. After all, he had no pretext for getting his hands on those Time Dao and s.p.a.ce Dao books, let alone the pinnacle Dao Seeds related to Life Dao and Death Dao.
