Chapter 396: Done!
Chen Ming’s thoughts, That’s better. As that girly Yan Shengxiao has a pack of question marks-filled bigshots streaming behind her, Star Dragon Crown Prince should be swimming in them, based on my talent that is.
For the future sake of the bloodline, the fiends would resort to anything when it came to protecting the Star Dragon couple, male and female, even fighting against all four Great Immortal Domains.
After Chen Ming played the part as he did on Azure Dragon Start last time and hadn’t fled, the war would be ongoing.
One Star Dragon equaled an Immortal King. A pair of Star Dragons equaled a pack!
With them, the fiends had the power to bridge the loss of Tree of Martyrs.
It was their sole chance at rising and were not about to let it go.
Chen Ming nodded, “Is senior Qing Long present? As you know, I cannot reveal my presence or the fiends will suffer. ”
The Overseer was a mess of emotions, eyes brimming with tears, “Your Highness comes from afar, toiling without end, always in danger of being snuffed in your cradle, yet you ventured through endless threats for the sake of us fiends. I will remember this. Please be at ease, Your Highness, I’ve sent for a hundred thousand soldiers to guard the entire Blue Dragon Temple. Not even a fly will get out. I will go ask Master in secret to come out of seclusion and discuss at lengths with Your Highness.”
“That is proper. As you are asking for a senior, I want to stroll around the temple. It’s been so long since I’ve found a haven to wander without care.”
The Overseer was thinking Star Dragon Crown Prince was ever alone outside, suffering and in danger, never feeling safe. It brought him to tears, “Your Highness was willing to stake your life for us fiends, but now you are in the Blue Dragon Temple, home. Ming Yue, take His Highness on a tour of the temple!”
The boy bowed, “Yes, Overseer!”
He waved at the fakers, “Guards, detain them. Make sure no word gets out!”
Chen Ming turned to them, with Enlighten Aura on, speaking enticing words, “Were you honest before?”
They were caught in the haze, “Yes.”
Chen Ming nodded, “They had no evil intentions. Let them drink and eat. It is fine as long as they do not leave.”
The Overseer spoke, “They took His Highness’ name in vain, yet he gave them pardon. Your Highness has fiends’ wellbeing at heart. Only His Highness as the ruler will safeguard the fiends’ future.”
He continued, “There’s no time to lose. I will ask Master to come out. Please, Your Highness, have some rest.”
“Go ahead.”
The boy led him around the temple while introducing the various areas. They chanced upon the Scriptures Pavilion, a building more than ten stories high.
Chen Ming asked, “What is this place?”
“It is the Blue Dragon Temple’s Scriptures Pavilion. The Dragon Evolution Art rests at the top.”
“The resting place for the famous Dragon Evolution Art. Can we take a look?”
“Your Highness, let me show you the way.”
He had no qualms about it, not with Chen Ming’s identity. Even Daoist Qing Long would have to show respect to him.
Even an Immortal King would change his wording. In times before Chen Ming, Fairy Star Dragon was groomed for Empress.
At the top, Chen Ming saw the Dragon Evolution Art on a pedestal, “Is this the art?”
“Yes, I will now remove the barrier with Overseer’s badge for Your Highness.”
The boy took down the barrier and brought the book to Chen Ming. Its pages began to flip by themselves in his hands, and then returned it to the boy, “Such broad and deep meanings, but I am already a dragon. It is of no use to me. I was only satisfying my curiosity. However, this art is seizing the heavens.”
“That is a matter of fact. Your Highness has the noble bloodline of the strongest dragon!”
“Take care of it, it is the most precious scripture.”
The boy returned it to its rightful place.
Chen Ming laughed inside, A hundred thousand merits and done!
He thought that ten thousand would do, though he was afraid his Draconic Influence lacked and spent a hundred thousand to bring it to the Transcending realm. Inside of his body drop by drop, draconic blood formed.
It began releasing a faint Draconic Influence above him, slowly increasing in power.
It was also to avoid earning any suspicion from the boy.
This should dupe all the fiends. As there was a Scriptures Pavilion, our dear Immortal Master Chen wouldn’t miss this chance and began pushing papers. However, in his three days toil, he only formed a single Dao Seed.
He didn’t come empty-handed though, gaining new-found knowledge.; Star Dragon’s legend for instance. It spoke of a particular trait of this bloodline, having the left eye akin to a moon, while the right eye like the sun.
This was but a gimmick for Chen Ming. What others found impossible to have fire and water, it came like second nature to him; not just those two, but all of them.
He didn’t learn any magical arts though. His body was the Limitless Dao Body and his battle skills revolved around arrays and Sword Soul. Since he had them, others mattered not. If such time came he did need them, he’d just comprehend them on the spot.
Daoist Qing Long came today at the Scriptures Pavilion and saw him flipping random scriptures, “Your Highness mustn’t read such books. The Alldragon Stele is the best choice for His Highness.”
“I awoke from the chaos and was venturing to Southern Gate Monastery when I heard of Yan Shengxiao’s appearance. If I revealed myself, the fiends would’ve been suffering. I have laid in hiding all this time to protect myself and only had these random scriptures to go by.”
“Your Highness, why must you endure so? If we had known of Your Highness’ pain, even if it comes to destroying an Immortal Domain, we would have protected you.”
“I was born a fiend, and my thoughts are always with them. Such hardship I can bear, but now, if I do not gaze upon the Alldragon Stele, my cultivation will never grow. I have risked coming here for this.”
“Your Highness, you are of great importance. If you wish to see the Alldragon Stele, it must go through our fiends’ Immortal King first. Will you allow me to ascertain His Highness’ identity?”
Chen Ming peaked left and right, “This place has no outsiders?”
“Be at ease Your Highness, there are none.”
