Chapter 225: Movement From all Sides
The news of Chen Ming passing his tribulation a second time spread like lightning across the continent. Others could be faked, but not Heavenly Tribulationâs signature.
Who could fake a tribulation?
The news sent a shockwave even in the immortal sect and the demonic sect, the strongest powers on this continent. They were now setting their sights on Chen Ming, hoping to find more about him, yet what followed was beyond their predictions.
The ancient immortal sects knew of Chen Mingâs realm, the Dao Comprehending realm. They thought he wanted to break through to the Transcending realm.
Astral Sage said, âChen Ming is passing the tribulation again. What does this mean exactly?â
Snow Mountain Sage said, âItâs quite likely he is getting ready to enter the Transcending realm. His cultivation method has to be a particular one, just as particular as Zhuo Qingyaoâs Nine Nines Mysteries Art. She is in the Dao Sense realm and can defeat all King ranks. Chen Mingâs cultivation method must be equally strange!â
Tie Yi Sage said, âBut why is Chen Ming breaking through to the Transcending realm in such a public place? This doesnât make sense.â
Astral Sage said, âThis must be a part of his plan. Didnât Zi Xia give us a spiritual sword? After a while, we will call him and all will be made clear!â
The Sages nodded, âAlright!â
Astral Sage said, âYan Mountain is sweeping the Chaos Battlefield like a hot knife through butter, which is good. But Ghost Immortalâs Sovereigns have yet to show themselves. Itâs baffling!â
On the demonic sect side, Chen Mingâs tribulation meant something else. First of all, they found that Chen Ming was a Sovereign, one that hid deeply. He was from a never heard of hidden sect, one that had tens of thousands of alchemists.
But the strangest part was that they never saw those alchemists. Thus, in the eyes of the people, the Yan Mountain in Myriad Mountains was a mere outpost. Yan Mountain must be just like Jade Void Temple, possessing a secret domain where the tens of thousands of alchemists resided.
Therefore, the demonic sect was unclear on Yan Mountainâs strength. It even assumed Chen Ming was in charge of the affairs in the outside world, not being the real Lord of Yan Mountain.
There was no doubt about Chen Mingâs power was that of a Sovereign. And when a Sovereign passed his tribulation, he ascended to immortality!
Did that mean this continent shall see another immortal?
Opinions divided. Among cultivators, only the ones closest to immortality knew the path to immortality was sealed. If this got out, who would continue cultivating? What they cultivate was to reach immortality!
Even the bearer of this information, Wu Jiang and the four Sages, kept a tight lid on it.
It pleased Chen Ming that the cultivators in the city reacted. The Heavenly Tribulation sent a ray of starlight on Chen Ming. He stood there comprehending it with all his focus. How could a mere starlight harm Chen Ming?
Itâs good that they didnât come all at once as before. It must be that I âm already in the Dao Comprehending realm.
The cultivators above the city felt they witnessed a miracle, âCould this be the immortal tribulation?â
âDoesnât look the part. This array is too small, not fitting an Immortal Tribulationâs power!â
âYouâre talking as if you saw one!â
âWho on this continent did?â
âOh, right, maybe this is indeed the Immortal Tribulation!â
Chen Ming saw the tribulation cloud was about to vanish, but at least he finished the array inside the starlight. He turned dignified as an immortal and gazed at the cultivators, âCanât pass the tribulation here!â
With those words, Chen Mingâs body flashed and the tribulation cloud above him disappeared along with him.
Arriving at a deserted mountain, Chen Ming spread his awareness to make sure no one was near. He took a spiritual sword with a teleportation array and opened the pathway, âI wonder why are the ancient immortal sects looking for me?â
He stabbed the sword in the ground and Chen Ming was already in front of the Sages. They soon found that Chen Mingâs power was more robust, âFellow Daoist Chen Ming, were you just passing your tribulation?â
Chen Ming shook his head, âNo, Dao Comprehending realm Tribulation. My cultivation method is a bit special and I still have thousands of Dao Comprehending real Tribulations to pass.â
The Sages were mystified. At least he was on their side. Since the war between the immortal sect and demonic sect was ongoing, they didnât have the luxury of minding this matter. They took what Chen Ming said as truth.
Astral Sage said, âFellow Daoist Chen Ming, what are you intending?â
âBased on the list of names Iâve given you, the hinterlands holds many Sovereigns that have yet to surface. My guess is that they will strike against Qingyao. After all, as long Qingyao remains the hinterlands will end in her hands! Sages, I can teleport thanks to the array on the sword. I want Qingyao to attract the hiding Sovereigns, then go kill them!â
âTo the outside, we can make it look like I failed in becoming immortal. I already know the path to immortality is closed and canât ascend. No one knows I left a teleportation array on the sword in Qingyaoâs hands and we can just say itâs a magical art. No Sovereign entered the battlefield so no rule will be broken.â
âThis has two benefits. One, killing all hiding Sovereigns. Two, it will spread fear in the demonic sect in regards to my strength. It will think twice before attacking, thus safeguarding Yan Mountain. After all, itâs position is precarious after all.â
The Sages clapped their hands in praises, âMarvelous! No one imagined you can teleport through swords. We were also worried about Yan Mountainâs safety. This way we wonât need to look after Yan Mountain and move without worry!â
Astral Sage slapped the table, âWith this settled, we will help you deal with the rest.â
Chen Ming got their approval so he teleported back to the deserted mountain.
Snow Mountain Sage said, âChen Mingâs act will help us greatly. At least, the demonic sect will be reluctant to move. We need to think this through and help Chen Ming complete his plan as perfectly as possible!â
Astral Sage chuckled, âHow about we fake preparing to open the path to immortality?â
The Sages exchanged a smile, âPerfect!â
