Chapter 309 - That’s a Long Story

Chapter 309: That’s a Long Story
Zhuo Qingyao probed their reactions by jumping on a lion’s head. Because Chen Ming was there, these beasts were afraid.
The lion looked on with despise at Zhuo Qingyao, but Chen Ming’s deterrence stopped him from lashing out. They still remembered how overbearing he was, like a Demon King.
Just as Zhuo Qingyao landed, the golden lion turned meek, even swishing his tail in joy.
Chen Ming witnessed this unfold in a daze as the other two did the same. These lions had next to no intention to resist, to the point they were getting closer and closer to the three people.
Chen Ming found it odd. Since when were these golden lions so faint of heart?

But soon Chen Ming caught the crux of the matter. When he was in Jade Void Temple, there was a pig there with a Heart Enlightenment Fruit, to which all those pigs bowed in awe.


Seems like the Heart Enlightenment Tree also carries such effect!

It was general knowledge savage beasts had low intelligence, and standing next to a Heart Enlightenment Fruit gave them a comforting feeling, like addicts!
This might just work in forming a savage beast corp. If there are enough savage beasts then they’ll turn into a military asset!

As long as there was no immortal beast, then they’d all yield!
With this advantage, Yan Mountain would go through a power growth!
His interest in Obsidian Temple’s mission grew, This is handing us mounts on a platter! And Spirit Veins! There’s no negative side to any of this!

Chen Ming even hoped for the beast tide to hurry it up!
After just three days of work, these lions were as obedient and meek as kittens. They stuck so near the three, they practicaly hated to be apart.
Chen Ming only laughed at this.
The Tree of Martyrs sure had a lot of secrets.


In Chen Ming’s mind, Taking the bodhi tree fruit with you has a marvelous effect, but I wonder how good it’ll be refined.

Chen Ming returned to Yan Mountain’s headquarters, to a newly built courtyard. He took a bodhi tree fruit and put it in his mouth, turning it into liquid with spiritual power and spreading everywhere in his body. One bodhi tree fruit let his thoughts clear up, and helped understand scriptures at a much faster rate!
It even sported a better effect then wearing them, but Chen Ming wasn’t yet ready to tell others about it.
Holding it has a tenth of its effect.

Eating can’t compare to wearing it.

But the meaning differs so it’s alright.

Who has ever heard of such a heaven-seizing fortune, such a heaven-defying thing?
It seems these Trees of Martyrs aren’t that common. I see now why all those large powers that got other immortals bowing before them got one for themselves.

Thankfully, I set up an array in the disciple’s emblems. They only work in the hands of a recognized Yan Mountain disciple.
 For others to use it they had to exchange owner imprints, and only Chen Ming could do that.
It would only look like an ordinary emblem to others, but Chen Ming still warned his disciples of its importance.


After a month, the disciples explored this island like an unstoppable wildfire. Good news came every day as the three legacy disciples astride their Beneath Immortal savage beasts passed through everything as if invincible. As such, the whole island soon came under Yan Mountain branch’s control.
The process wasn’t quick, but victories were steady.
Chen Ming found the three lions were different, their mane lsporting minute traces of violet.
This was a clear sign of imminent breakthrough, I never expected for the Heart Enlightenment Fruit’s effect to be so obvious!

When a Beneath Immortal savage beast advanced, it became an immortal beast!
A true immortal’s mount!
It could fight off an immortal, It’s like a Ferrari for immortals!

The three legacy disciples’ showing off of their mounts filled the other disciples with admiration and eagerness to work on their cultivation, easing Chen Ming’s worries.
As all Yan Mountain disciples were hardworking on their cultivation, time was forgotten.
All for riding a Wu Jiang!


They were driven by a single thought, bent on cultivating while ignoring every distraction.
Chen Ming slowly amassed merits, while also thinking it was time he compiled a new refining manual. This volume had to do with King ranked pills. But the truth was that there were few such recipes around. Even Chen Ming didn’t find more than several.
This would make the new refining manual’s release date delayed again and again.
The methods he wrote in these manuals were with the help of the recipes. There were many ways to refine pills but now they were far from enough.
Even a genius needed proper tools to work with.
As Chen Ming sank in his worries, a black-robed person landed in his yard. His coming was in silence, surprising Chen Ming.
The person looked like a female. He didn’t know her purpose here, and the stealthy way she entered got Chen Ming on his guard.
She took a mouthful from the teacup on the table, then turned to Chen Ming,
You can’t look, nor defend. You should drop the horsetail whisk, the gap between us is unimaginable.
‘
The woman thought she wasn’t being clear enough,
Don’t think I’m talking about the gap between an immortal and a Dao Comprehending realm cultivator. I am referring to the difference between Earth Immortal and a Supreme Gold Immortal. Your power only takes you close to being the first kind.

Chen Ming was confused,
Earth Immortal, Gold Immortal?




It seems you haven’t entered the Galaxy for long. You have yet to understand the differences in power. Here’s how it is, above Earth Immortals are Celestial Immortals, who have Gold Immortals standing above them. And Supreme Gold Immortals are those who are even higher than Gold Immortals!


Every star in this world can raise an immortal. As there are an untold number of stars, it is only natural for them to raise an even stronger immortal.

Chen Ming was ever cautious as he poured her another cup,
Then why has your lordship saught an insignificant Dao Comprehending realm cultivator?

The woman’s smile could seize souls,
He-he, insignificant? Does an insignificant Dao Comprehending realm cultivator has an Earth Immortal’s power? Who are you kidding?

Chen Ming sat across for her, silently, This woman is too bizarre.
 She just looked at him and already knew his strength, as if she saw right through him.
She continued,
Worry not, I had no ill will towards you. On the contrary, I’m doing everything in your best interest.


What do you mean?


That’s a long story.
