Chapter 331 - Went Cold Before Entering the Limelight!

Chapter 331: Went Cold Before Entering the Limelight!
The emergence of Fairy Star Dragon gave no reason to panic to the Great Immortal Domains, but when Crown Prince Star Dragon showed up, it threw everything upside down.
They all knew what it meant. If he did not die, the fiends would become their plague!
Star Dragon body signified one would become a future Immortal King!
And passing down its bloodline meant the line of Immortal Kings shall never be broken!
Despite lacking a Tree of Martyrs, the fiends would rely on their Immortal King line to fight the Great Immortal Domains on end. They might even become another monster like the Headless Assembly,
The least they could become was the 5th Great Immortal Domain!


The Galaxy was surging!
Under such pressure, the fiends’ four Immortal Kings awoken to declare, Fiends do not fear war, because they will never lose!
With fiends’ stance for war made clear, the four Great Immortal Domains cooled. But the strangest of all, Headless Assembly showed no sign of movement.
Uhm, it came to the cultivators’ mind that this was just common occurrence for the Headless Assembly, never able to see through their plans.
Days later though, cultivators found the Azure Dragon Star sporting a dozen Blades revealing their identities.
The Headless Assembly has long acted, and to make war to boot. What was the point in looking at the few Blades in the light when they might have god knew how many in the dark?
The most perplexing of all was Crown Prince Star Dragon sudden vanishing act. They thought his identity was special and since he was the most aware of his importance, went into hiding.
The fiends believed Crown Prince Star Dragon did it for their sake. He renounced many cultivating resources from their lands, walking willingly into danger.
In a short while, the fiends elevated Crown Prince Star Dragon’s prestige to new heights, considering him to be their heaven-sent leader!
And so, the weak renown of his now grew larger and larger.


If Crown Prince Star Dragon would summon them, the fiends would answer!
Of course, this had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Ming. As a fake Crown Prince Star Dragon, why would it?
Chen Ming was in Inevitable’s meeting, with Nr. 6 raging on him,
You’re no Shan Liuyun!

In Chen Ming’s mind, Damn! Shan Liuyun can’t be dead, right?
Shan Liuyun was a Gold Immortal, one just killed by Nr. 6!
Is it the same as saying this Shan Liuyun never entered stepped on the stage, but when he did he was already cold?
What a sad sad story…
This Faceless’ actions ended up closing many of his paths in other Immortal Domains!
Nr. 6 continued,
I sent the Blades to kill Shan Liuyun, searched his entire immortal abode, yet no Faceless mask. You used me to kill Shan Liuyun. I will remember this debt. But worry not, I caught your trail. Wait as I will personally come and rip the mask of your face!

Chen Ming laughed,
In fact, I’m an important Jade Lake’s general, Ding Kuang! Much obliged for killing that old fool Shan Liuyun!



Nr. 6 sneered,
Stop spouting lies. My constellation is near yours. All my men are immortals, enough to slowly play with you for hundreds of years!

A sudden boom echoed,
Silence!

The eight Faceless turned to the head of the table. Inevitable said,
Civil war is put on hold for now. We have outside matters we need to handle!

He asked,
From the Blades you all sent at the meeting, you must know by now the real situation regarding the spreading rumors about Crown Prince Star Dragon. Tell me, what is this all about? It even caught the eyes of the higher-ups.

To remove all suspicion, Chen Ming went first,
Crown Prince Star Dragon is most likely real. He has Star Dragon body and can control a dragon made of stars. His power just passed the doorstep to Earth Immortal!

Inevitable nodded for him to continue,
But he is also a Faceless. He issued an invitation to assassination to all Faceless who participated in this meeting. I accepted it, but despite his low strength, all tracks have vanished. I believe it to be the work of the fiends!

Inevitable turned to the rest and saw Nr. 3, Nr. 6 and Nr. 4 nodding.
Inevitable said,
You will deal with the hunt for this Crown Prince Star Dragon. You are free to move as you wish before the higher-ups pass down any order. But keep in mind what he signifies to the fiends. The chance for his Blade to be an Immortal King is high. Be sure to take it into consideration.

Inevitable continued,
Alright, next is trading. You propose a deal and I will be the judge!

Chen Ming looked around,
I want to know to know more about the Tree of Martyrs. For this I shall pay five Earth Immortal fortune immortal fruits!



This was but a small deal in this meeting, trading five fruits for a something like the knowledge of Tree of Martyrs.
Chen Ming found no one accepted it. After a few moments, the ever silent Nr. 1 said,
I will offer you the information.

Inevitable waved and only them three were left. Nr. 1 said,
The Tree of Martyrs is a natural born treasure from the world. Its growth is classified in five stages. With Heavenly Court’s Immortal Fortune Tree as example, the first stage allows its fruits to give birth to Earth Immortal, the second stage for Celestial Immortal, the third to Gold Immortals, and the fourth to Supreme Gold Immortals. As for the fifth stage, no one knows. If it can give birth to Immortal King, it’s most likely only Heavenly Court is aware of this. And only a fourth stage Tree of Martyrs has the power to create soul weapons.


The third stage allows it to make a mold of a Martyr body, the reason why every Great Immortal Domain has a Tree of Martyrs. At this stage, a Martyr cannot die and can only be struck down by soul weapons. And these Martyr stopped their time at their highest peak in strength.


It is assumed that the true geniuses of each Grand Immortal Domain, selected to be future leaders, have a Martyr as a guardian.


These Martyrs are what the four Great Immortal Domains relied since the beginning of their existence.


Growing a Tree of Martyrs relies on souls. With enough souls it will continue to grow, and the more they receive the faster it matures.
