Chapter 414: I Want to Burn Incense for Sage Ran Zui

Moon Palace’s Crown Prince didn’t seem to understand, “The steles can also influence fate?”

Chen Ming smiled, “That is only natural. If only the Tree of Martyrs was left, they are roots without water. Only by adding the stele were you able to stand tall and increase your cultivation.”

“From your expression, Your Highness, I can surmise its location was never considered and must be in a place with poor Fengshui.”

Crown Prince was oblivious to such matters, but thinking about it, High Priest did had the right to ascertain steles’ positions. Sage Ran Zui has no spiritual power either, so even if he comes in contact with them, it will be to no avail.

“Please follow me, Sage.”

In Chen Ming’s heart, Conning complete. The time has come to see the steles I cherish so. Ah, it was worth it coming here.

Walking behind Crown Prince and pa.s.sing through 81 checkpoints, Chen Ming’s eyes were taking a first look at Moon Palace’s steles. Pa.s.sing through this tight net, his first thought, How do Main Characters even get to steal its scriptures? How can one pa.s.s through unharmed 81 times with sheer luck, look, then return the same way?

A Main Character’s aura was gold.

Chen Ming saw 36 steles with one among them holding the Moon’s Sacred Sutra. This was the cultivation method pa.s.sed on to the imperial family.

He roamed around them as his eyes drifted to each one, committing each and every one to memory in these three days. He spoke in the end, “Use the Ninth Palace’s location as the new place for these steles. I will leave a seal into the ground and you shall move them.”

Chen Ming drew at random, but still in role, the 36 new positions and was ready to leave.

Once back in his dwelling, his body sported 36 new Dao Palaces.

Perfect, now I just need to get the other three Great Immortal Domains and the 3,000 Dao Seeds are done!

I gotta admit, Limitless Dao Body isn’t something a human can train in.

If even after I finish this there’ll be no aura, then there would’ve been no point for all this pain!

Chen Ming was dancing on the edge of a knife, one slip, one wrong step, and the cat was out of the bag, his body leaving the stage in pieces with it.

A day pa.s.sed and Moon Palace’s Crown Prince came to ask, “Sage, will changing steles’ location resolve our fate?”

Chen Ming laughed, “What, you don’t believe?”

“Lord… child is uncertain.”

“Then watch how the steles’ s.h.i.+ft and the improvement of Fengshui will affect it. Here is a letter for the fiends. Send it, but do not open it. If the fate therein leaks, it will become pointless.”

Crown Prince was skeptical, however he still followed his suggestion. Chen Ming said, “Prepare the carriage, we’re going to Void!”

Chen Ming wandered around Moon Palace for a month after which he left for Void.

Moon Palace’s men were stumped, What’s with this situation?

Why is Sage s.h.i.+fting around the steles then jumps s.h.i.+p?

Chen Ming graced Void with his presence two months later. Prince Cang Kong came to greet, in the know of his actions in Moon Palace. What is Sage trying to pull?

This doesn’t make any sense at all!

Do steles truly depend on the setting?

Cang Kong was still of a mind to obey Chen Ming’s orders nonetheless. Who’d have thought his next order would be this, “You must know by now what went on in Moon Palace. My sole purpose for this visit is to settle Heaven’s Will. Take me to your steles.”

“Uh, the place is a bit awkward. I will ask the Emperor.”

Chen Ming nodded, “Go, the quicker the better.”

Cang Kong just pa.s.sed a corner and spat, “Who does he think he is? Doesn’t he know his status? He runs amok in Moon Palace so now it was Void’s turn?”

“Just wait ’til Emperor knows and you’ll be Void’s High Priest no more!”

Cang Kong went to his room where a vine grew from the void. A flower, akin to a crystal, s.h.i.+ned on it. It was their mystical Tree of Martyrs, Abyss Flower!

It grew in the void and, in accordance with Emperor’s will and Cang Kong’s status, he had the right to possess an Abyss Flower’ blossom.

Cang Kong spoke, “Emperor, Sage Ran Zui wants to move our steles!”

A calm voice drifted from the petals, “Cang Kong, do steles influence fate?”

Prince replied, “No past High Priest moved them!”

The blossom sank into silence, after which the decree came, Strip Sage Ran Zui of his rank.

He grabbed it and was jumping in joy on his way to prepare to take Chen Ming’s power, but then he started thinking, This won’t bode well for me. With his high status, even without Void’s High Priest position, he’d still be one in the other three. Won’t I offend him? Cang Kong went to some irrelevant Supreme Gold Immortal and made him carry the decree.

He was on his way to drink, in celebration of crus.h.i.+ng Sage Ran Zui, when he heard a ruckus on the street he turned down on. He grabbed a Gold Immortal, “What’s going on? Why the havoc?”

“Don’t pull, I want to burn incense for Sage Ran Zui!”

Prince snapped, “Take a look at who I am!”

Only now he reacted, “Sage Ran Zui’s letter forced the fiends in retreat and Moon Palace wrest control of the entire Lasting Jade Constellation without an effort! It must be from the change in Fengshui, the settling of Heaven’s Will! He might tell me if my ancestor tomb’s location may also be precarious.”

Cang Kong looked to his hand, c.r.a.p, I left the decree to that Supreme Gold Immortal. I’m finished! He lost no time speeding back.

The steles affect Heaven’s Will!
