Master of Untold Daos Chapter 401 - Dragon Race’s Tale of Abstinence

Chapter 401: Dragon Race’s Tale of Abstinence

My Dao Empyrean Bamboo is only a prototype immortal item. He never came close to figuring out how to evolve it, until now.

Immortal items are alive.

Chen Ming’s item was even more special than common immortal weapons.

It needed to absorb all kinds of natural essences to grow. But this kind of place was a first for him.

Once in the Alldragon Mountains, the fiends’ most mysterious area, Dao Empyrean Bamboo throbbed.

Allheaven had seen all kinds of dragons throughout time, En, this looks like the place where dragons were being quite liberal with their feelings. That has to be if, if not, there wouldn’t be so many kinds of dragons here.

Our Immortal Master Chen was unlikely to go robbing, though.

Chen Ming followed the trail deeper into the hills of bones and felt an increase in power from them.

Birthed with vigorous stamina, and buried in the dragon range.

This was the dragon graveyard. Fiend dragons were lesser, unlike their counterpart, the innate dragons. Nature gave birth to them, also known as sacred beasts.

Fiend dragons were born in places filled with dragon bones like mountains, or dragon blood rivers.

Star Dragon was the only exception and the most precious, born amidst the stars.

As such, in places with bones such as this, there was also a mountain river. This was the fiend’s graveyard.

Just as how the dragons gathered here, so did the fiends.

What Chen Ming felt from Dao Empyrean Bamboo was hunger, just like a starved child.

He walked into the depths of Alldragon Mountains and saw the Alldragon Stele towering above the other twenty-three steles at the sides.

Chen Ming spoke in his heart, “Comprehend all of them!”

Scriptures entered his mind and Chen Ming chose to learn them to the Transcending realm.

As for their entirety, he made sure to remember them.

Such pity I can’t take them with.

Dao Palaces formed within him, 23 in number, as well as their respective Dao Seeds. Among them was even the Eight Heavenly Dragons.(1) These eight Dao Seeds were in sync with each other.

He felt his power growing, though not by a large margin.

However, this was a joyous occasion as he formed 23 Dao Seeds

It was worth coming here.

Time to grow Dao Empyrean Bamboo. He took it out and scanned the area. He found a place where power converged and stood before it, feeling all manifestations of nature.

Chen Ming planted Dao Empyrean Bamboo right in the middle. It began growing again, climbing ever higher.

It grew and grew, focusing on absorbing the dragon power in the area with all it had.

He could see the dragon power with the naked eye as it rose from the earth and was sucked inside it. It won’t be conspicuous, no?

I am pretty much digging the fiends’ graveyard.

Dao Empyrean Bamboo devoured dragon power with its insatiable appet.i.te, and with it, its power grew.

I wonder how far will it grow when it absorbed everything.

After all, this was true dragon power, with each strand of it akin to a dragon vein!

A tribulation cloud overshadowed a hundred li, Dao Empyrean Bamboo’s tribulation!

It was still gathering power and the lack of thunderclaps proved it so.

The good news was this place had dragon power all around for concealing effect. Dao Empyrean Bamboo sucked as much dragon power it could but it didn’t exhaust it.

Constant absorption translated into constant growth.

The first lightning streaked from the clouds three months later, right on top of Dao Empyrean Bamboo.

Chen Ming gripped Dao Empyrean Bamboo and felt a new power coursing through it. He flicked it and thousands of dragons roamed the sky.

The tribulation cloud was ripped apart, torn to pieces, shredded to nothing.

Hot d.a.m.n, it’s strong!

It wiped the sky with the Heavenly Tribulation!

Worthy of being a weapon that restrained the Heavenly Dao.

Chen Ming sensed Dao Empyrean Bamboo’s new effect – a power akin to a dragon’s divine might.

It absorbed alldragon power and had the strength of ten thousand Dragon Veins.

Dao Empyrean Bamboo was a treasure, not just a mere weapon, but a magical item.

Chen Ming found it best since he himself walked the path of spiritual power.

What melee magic art user, that’s travesty!

He’d try out its power in battle as now it was time to hightail it out of there.

He read the Alldragon Stele long ago and knew by now the main points of the Star Dragon cultivation method. His Star Dragon would only grow stronger from now on.

Chen Ming couldn’t guarantee the same for his Limitless Dao Body, he just had no grounds to base it on.

If the fiend Immortal Kings found themselves duped, he reckoned they would publish a brand-new book ent.i.tled 18 Ways to Cook Chen Ming.

The more I think the worse I feel.

Time to bolt.

He took to his crow form and flapped his little wings towards the entrance, where Qing Long was still committed to his guarding duty. Sigh, leaving like this, Qing Long will get the full brunt of it.

However, I am anything but a Star Dragon.

He fled on his way. The talk in the Galaxy about this century war was that Headless a.s.sembly held complete dominance. The stronger it became the more set were its members in enacting their plans. It meant the Headless a.s.sembly held far too little territory.

A Headless a.s.sembly’s priest declared that he wanted to scry into the outcome between the Headless a.s.sembly and the four Great Immortal Domains’ war. If they won, it proved Heavenly Will was no longer on their side and they had to willingly cede a part of their territory over to Headless a.s.sembly.

It was an excuse, obviously. To be honest, the Headless a.s.sembly just wanted to stretch its borders. With the victory over this century war, it wanted a larger piece of the pie.

The Great Immortal Domains responded by sending their High Priests, who only came back in defeat.

(1) It is a reference to the Eight Legions, a group of Buddhist deities whose function is to protect the Dharma. The Eight Legions have their origins in ancient India as G.o.ds who belong to several domains. Many of these G.o.ds are among those spirits who are found in the lower heavens and the Asura realm. They are: Deva, Naga, Yaksa, Gandharva, Asura, Garuda, Kimnara and Mahoraga.

P.S.: this is also the name of Jin Yong’s wuxia novel, Demi-G.o.ds and Semi-Devils.
