Chapter 347: 347

Coughing blood all the way, Chen Ming reached the Scarlet Tide Continent a day later . Chen Lingyu noticed his state the moment he stepped foot on the star .

She rushed down the mountain to help him, “Master, how did you get so injured?”

“Don’t ask or you’ll deviate your cultivation!”

Chen Lingyu knew his wounds were deep and took him beneath the bodhi tree to treat him . Now that she used her spiritual power to help him recover, he could finally let out a long breath . The splitting pain was still there, but not life-threatening .

Chen Ming said, “Inform Ling Xian the Obsidian Star’s disciples are coming and that Master settled the inconveniences . “

Chen Lingyu called for Silver Wing to let him report it .

She said, “Right, Master, I found the wandering Daoist you told me to . “

“Really? Let’s go see him . I want to know what secrets he’s hiding . I’m intrigued by that Imperial Heavenly Dao Cannon . “

Chen Lingyu couldn’t leave him even half a step, keeping his injuries from flaring out as she followed him . Inside the outer hall in the Yellow Sea, Chen Ming met the wandering Daoist . The man was truly baffled . Why did his first fortune-telling go through such a radical change?

Seeing Chen Ming again seemed to tell him . So it’s another diviner’s intervention .

The wandering Daoist knew he was face to face with the savior of the Scarlet Tide Continent, the Lord of Yan Mountain .

Looking at him, he began to recall the fellow having the same trade as him from before . But Chen Ming left him in quite a bind, not able to make heads or tails of him . He divined Chen Ming’s everything except his fate and luck .

Chen Ming didn’t beat around the bush, “Do you have a scripture called Imperial Heavenly Dao Cannon?”

The wandering Daoist looked at him with doubt . He didn’t ask him how he knew . Why ask a dumb question?

“What are you willing to pay?”

“It depends on what you want . “

The Daoist was staring in space for a moment, “I am a man that doesn’t ask for much . Yan Mountain is quite powerful but doesn’t it lack a High Priest?”

This post pointed to an important elder in a sect who prayed for blessing, watched the heaven and stars, and also divined .

My little disciple’s talent is far better, excelling in cloud cultivation . Why would I need another?

But then again, Wan Baqian was in charge of Yan Mountain’s finances and that kid is more interested in business . It’s not impossible to not let this old man have the High Priest position .

Can it be that Old Meishan doesn’t know the meaning of Imperial Heavenly Dao Cannon?

This request is a tad too plain!

Chen Ming could see the talent of his disciples, and he had no doubt Old Meishan could see it too . Yan Mountain was packed with talents that would soon grow into a force to be reckoned with . If not leaning on it now, then when?

Chen Ming faked difficulty, “How about Libationer?”

Old Meishan shook his head . What can a Libationer do? This little brother only wants to be a High Priest .

Chen Ming put on a pained face, “In the next few days you will become Yan Mountain’s High Priest . “

Old Meishan smiled with a bow, “Subordinate greets Mountain Lord!”

Old Meishan moved with haste, afraid Chen Ming would take back his words and took out a black stele .

Chen Ming said in his mind, “Comprehend this stele!”

“Ding! Requires a billion merits . Not enough merits!”

The hell is this?

I won’t get so many even after a lifetime!

But Chen Ming knew it was the real deal . He asked again, “Comprehend the first stage!”

“Ding! Requires 30,000 merits, continue?

“Yes!”

He wanted to get to the bottom of this weird thing, to see what made it worth so much .

“Ding! You comprehended the first stage of Imperial Heavenly Dao Cannon and formed the Emperor Dao Seed . You earned the achievement Peeper of Fate . You earned the Insight Aura . “

He just got the first stage settled and it already came with an achievement and even an aura too?

But he now knew that this was a cloud cultivation method, the most baffling and incomprehensible cultivation method there was .

It was common knowledge that a diviner was the weirdest profession out there . What alchemist? What refiner? They might fight and even win if they pushed their luck, but a diviner never had a combat ability to begin with .

He was no different from a mortal, just that his lifespan increased as he went up in realms .

Chen Ming checked up on his Dao Palaces and found Emperor at the top of the line . Not even Dao Canon and Instant Dao Seeds could compare .

Fate was the most arcane path of all . It held no raw power, yet one could use it to torment others to an inch of their lives .

But to Chen Ming, What damn use does this have?

Whatever, at least I got a very rare Dao Seed . This chance doesn’t come by often .

He reckoned this Dao Seed represented the Fate Dao, harder to form than even those from the Immortal Domains’ cultivation methods .

Chen Ming checked his new aura:

‘Insight Aura

Description: dreaming for three thousand years, I know everything .

Effect: peeping .

. . .

The effect is to peep?

Chen Ming found his eyes land on Chen Lingyu by chance . It held no other meaning then to check the peep effect, En, not the same, that’s for sure .

Chen Ming could only see auras till now, but now he saw the titles . He saw Chen Lingyu sporting a new line on her status .

Pill Immortal, Scarlet Tide Star Lord .

Chen Ming turned to Old Meishan, who had the Wandering Daoist .

Although its use in battle was moot, it had other benefits .

With it, he could see the identities of others . It was the same as saying that no one was safe from his prying eyes . Quite forceful, but all in all, not bad .

There were many cultivators he couldn’t see through but now he had an appraisal art . . .

Chen Ming didn’t linger too long on this . He stayed on Yan Mountain, waiting for Li Suyi and Ling Xian to finish with the beast tide . He would use the gained spiritual knowledge to bump his cultivation . The best would be to complete his fledgling stage of his Limitless Dao Body and strengthen his body so he could walk anywhere he wanted .

He couldn’t got to other places except through the Faceless identity, who was already high enough as it was . Anyway, the Faceless don’t need to act themselves, I just need to send Bu Liuhen and I’ll know everything .
