Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 370: Yan Mountain Astray

The new expansion order soon arrived: ‘The disciples with immortal beasts can accept this order in teams of five and advance on Desolate Star. No restriction on the expansion! No restriction on rearing immortal beasts! No restriction on occupying territory! No restriction on occupying stars! In this period of subduing the savage beast stars, all rewards raise by half.’

Once the order was out, the qualified disciples were raring to go. They didn’t reject the extra reward of course, since some of the disciples were out there sealing the paths to immortality. They had no way of joining so what else could they possibly gain?

Plus, many other disciples were immortal beast-less. They would give the ones they catch to their juniors.

This was proper. Also, wasn’t it Li Suyi and Ling Xian who took them beast capturing? How else could they get theirs?

This was their turn to give pets to their juniors!

As for Master, he was always a selfless man. Master would even part with the last pill for them. Yan Mountain was now in an excess supply of pills but even so, Master didn’t eat any. Such carrying Master left them with a heavy heart.

They recalled how in times of crisis, Master would leave the worst to himself, returning drenched in blood every time. Their eyes turned glassy with tears.

The immortal beast rearing disciples were getting ready to set off. After Ling Xian settled their backup, they began their assault on the savage beast stars.

Each of them had immortal beasts, while also carrying the Heart Enlightenment Fruit, what every savage beast longed for, to curb their restlessness.

The last beast tide was proof.

Not long after the expansion order was given, Zhang Ming and the other four disciples arrived on a savage beast star. It was filled with pastures for miles on end, an endless green. But also countless savage beasts roamed about.

This was the origin of the beast tide.

Zhang Ming and his team surveyed the star and found ten immortal beasts with even more Beneath Immortal beasts.

Although at immortal stage, the beasts were little more than three-year-old children, brain-wise. With their low intellectual capabilities, they paled when up against Zhang Ming’s team of six immortal beasts.

They divided and conquered, taking the last one a month later.

Brain advantage.

The capturing spread on the rest of the nearby stars while sending back most of them.

As they grew more accustomed, as they pushed further, they found their limit to five-six immortal beasts even with the Heart Enlightenment Fruit. To increase this number they could only temper themselves in battle.

The number of immortal beasts on hand was fixed but this didn’t stop them from getting stronger. They made careful choices when picking immortal beasts so that it was strong and integrated perfectly in their team. Just like Wu Feng, who won against Zhang Ming with his flawless teamwork.

Zhang Ming had to admit it.

So many immortal beasts passed their hands that progress was inevitable. Zhang Ming went and compiled the Immortal Beast Encyclopedia based on this point, explaining each of their behavior, character and martial prowess.

With this book, Yan Mountain’s cultivation path began to drift, leaning ever so slowly towards rearing beasts.

This, in turn, slowed their cultivating speed. The more attention they had on immortal beasts, the less mind on raising cultivation.

Chen Ming noticed it in the merits account. His income would slowly rise each month but it now stopped at 1.5 million a year.

Even so, it didn’t get to Chen Ming. If they want to drift, go ahead and veer. After the war ten years later I’ll think of a way to get them back on track.

Zhang Ming killed his way through the stars and captured savage beasts. Wu Feng’s thinking began to change. Controlling immortal beasts had its limits imposed by one’s consciousness. But wasn’t there the Nine Frozen Springs on the Scarlet Tide Continent?

We’ll just grab as much Soul Returning Water as we can and we’ll control hordes!

Thereupon, Wu Feng in tow with other disciples began to make preparations to scour the forbidden area for Soul Returning Water. It was a known fact by now that Chen Ming refined the Yin Yang Harmony Pill.

The more Soul Returning Water, the more immortal beasts!

As a consequence, Yan Mountain’s cultivation path went sideways!

Zhong Tongzi got the order to welcome Wu Feng. He didn’t mind it since it was just Wu Feng. The last time he saw him was but a mere Dao Comprehending realm cultivator. Was there a need to welcome him?

Reason dictated, I am Fourth Sect Leader’s dog, so how can it match Wu Feng’s status? But Zhong Tongzi found it wasn’t just Wu Feng.

Once the teleportation array activated, Wu Feng astride his fire dragon flashed in Zhong Tongzi’s eyes, pressure bearing down on him!

He went soft in the legs, and kneeled!

Immortal’s Pressure!

Is Wu Feng an immortal?

How? When? He was but a Dao Comprehending realm pup last time!

What monster has Yan Mountain turned into?

But a second later he pinpointed the source, It’s an immortal beast!?

Even if Wu Feng is no immortal, his beast is!

Was there even a difference?

Does this mean Yan Mountain has immortal beasts? You mean to tell me every disciple has an immortal beast, that each can hold a star in check?

Isn’t that equal to controlling thousands of stars, that Yan Mountain was a colossus in the known universe?

The arrogance he gained when he became Beneath Immortal flew out of him like air from a balloon. He bowed, “I am Zhong Tongzi, greetings lord!”

Regarding position, Zhong Tongzi needn’t give a bow, but status said otherwise. Wu Feng was Chen Ming’s disciple, equal to an imperial prince!

Wu Feng nodded, “Where’s fourth senior sister? We want to greet her and request her to get Soul Returning Water from the Nine Frozen Springs!”

Wu Feng knew propriety and he had to first show respect to his fourth senior sister, or he would slight her.

Plus, Wu Feng had great admiration for Chen Lingyu. Without her, they wouldn’t have reached such a cultivation stage.
