A Main Character indeed. I pale in comparison!

  But he reckoned it was the work of the Eight Sacred Powers Aura.

  Chen Ming said, “As your cultivation method is taboo, you will cultivate on this mountain.”


  Zhuo Qingyao asked, “Master, when can I go out?”


  Chen Ming mulled it over, “You are the head disciple and the strongest of Yan Mountain’s disciples. On my last trip, I saw many Immortal Domains’ geniuses and even the promising to be an Immortal King, Fairy Star Dragon, can’t match you in the same realm. Your talent is better, thus Master’s request for you won’t be too high. When you become Immortal King, you can descend!”


  Zhuo Qingyao thought about it then bowed. “Only Immortal King. Disciple will follow Master’s order to the letter!”


  This lass’ pride knows no bounds. It’s incurable!

  He said, “Go cultivate and if you find anything you don’t understand come see me.”


  Zhuo Qingyao stood up, leaving with the stele and Ember.

  Chen Ming turned to Li Suyi and Ling Xian, “How many savage beasts did you get?”


  Li Suyi said, “13!”


  Chen Ming took a sip of tea, “Not enough. We need ten thousand at the least! You should have seen by know the Heart Enlightenment Tree and am sure you have some ideas about it.”


  Ling Xian said, “Master, is that a real Tree of Martyrs?”


  Even Ling Xian thought his question was exaggerated.

  They began to goings in the Galaxy and knew of the legends surrounding the Tree of Martyrs. It was the root of all Great Immortal Domains, no real secret.

  Chen Ming nodded, “Yep, but only at the first stage.”


  Ling Xian’s mind drifted to when his ancestor told him of Chen Ming being a reincarnated immortal. He now believed it with even more conviction. He was not just a mere reincarnated immortal but the strongest of them all!

  Li Suyi and Ling Xian weren’t fools, “Master, worry not. Only us know of its existence that are allowed to leave the Scarlet Tide Continent. We will never let anyone else know!”


  Chen Ming nodded, “It’s fine as long as you are aware of the danger.

  As for why the Beneath Immortal savage beasts became immortal beasts, it has to do with the effect of the Heart Enlightenment Fruit. It helps in improving one’s perception, and the greatest difference between a savage beast and an immortal beast is in their intelligence. These beast are affected by the fruits the disciple carries when they ride them. A higher perception allows for complex thinking. The fruit’s effect is far greater on them then on cultivators.”


  This wasn’t hard to figure out. Cultivators were intelligent beings and it helped clear their thinking while savage beasts never had much to begin with; the effect would be much more obvious.

  “The fastest way for Yan Mountain to grow doesn’t lay in disciples’ drive to cultivate, nor in the Regalia Legion – despite being strong on the continent they lack the means in the Galaxy – but through raising enough immortal beasts!”


  “Your Master has many beasts rearing arts thanks to my last trip. I will write the Beast Rearing Cannon for disciples to grasp. Each disciple will make his own animal pen to raise as many immortal beasts as they can!”


  Li Suyi smiled, “Master, I wonder how many savage beasts are on that Desolate Star. Within that vast and wide part of the Galaxy lays the rise of our Yan Mountain!”


  Ling Xian said, “Yan Mountain will have a brand new title in the future, Allbeast Yan Mountain!”


  Chen Ming said, “Perfect, begin the operation. Once the number of immortal beast rearing disciples are enough, I will send down the order for expansion.”


  The entire Yan Mountain felt driven by the expansion order. Since after the order was given, the disciples experienced sudden growth.

  Not to mention how in the past period Yan Mountain controlled the whole Scarlet Tide Continent and his disciples were like chives in the spring rain, growing and growing and growing.

  As for legacy disciple, that was different. Even if Chen Ming bit the dust, Yan Mountain would belong to them.

  Chen Ming might have left the Scarlet Tide Continent but there was no unrest stirring. Everyone knew Chen Ming was an immortal, the youngest immortal at that. For the next thousand of years at least, no one dared to act up.

  With him gone, Chen Lingyu had the highest status. She was in charge of the whole star, someone the small sects had no chance of meeting. Everyone relied on Yan Mountain Lords’ power to further expand Yan Mountain’s Alchemy Houses’ development.

  On the Scarlet Tide Continent, Yan Mountain held supreme power in the military aspect. The other cultivators thus turned to alchemy, spewing out an endless river of pills.

  Zhong Tongzi was in the lead of Yan Mountain’s armies and, under Chen Lingyu’s orders, rooted out all who wished to endanger Yan Mountain or the cultivators’ safety.

  Chen Ming’s thinking labeled the Scarlet Tide Continent into a holy land, a constant support for his disciples.

  Scarlet Tide Continent’s supply of ingredients could hold for a while longer and, when it ran out, he would hand over Yan Mountain Financial Group’s control over to Wan Baqian.

  Month after month of endless immortal tool remodeling, Chen Ming finally saw the end four months later. He was now on the lookout for a mountain to set them on.

  The disciples have been cooped up in their rooms lately, cultivating without care, hoping to touch the ever nearer Sovereign rank.

  Once a Sovereign, one would get an immortal weapon and a Beneath Immortal savage beast!

  “Master increased the reward to reaching Sovereign rank!”


  The one who just left seclusion wasn’t aware, “Raised again? Can such reward be topped?”


  “But of course. Second senior brother said that breaking through to Sovereign rank will earn you a piece of immortal equipment and a Beneath Immortal savage beast. Didn’t you see Zhang Ming? He is the first Sovereign among us and they say his savage beast is close to being an immortal beast! And now he got immortal equipment, one that acknowledged him just yesterday!”


  Zhang Ming rode on a golden-maned lion, with specks of purple here and there. One disciple asked, “Senior brother Zhang, where’s Master and how many immortal tools does he have left?”


  The disciples watched Zhang Ming with expectant eyes, eager to know the answer.

  With how few they were, the faster they broke through the better!

  Though it wouldn’t hurt to gain some assurance first. As Zhang Ming just now picked his immortal equipment, he should know more about it.

  Zhang Ming’s mind wondered to the ten thousand immortal equipment display his Master showed him. Who knows where he got them! But he did warn him of something like supply and demand. The fewer immortal equipment, the higher the pressure on those disciples that had yet to break through, forgoing days and nights for cultivation.

  “Not nearly enough! Few indeed! When I was choosing mine, there were only a dozen. You must give your all and grab this chance. Not only will Master offer you immortal equipment but also help you gain its approval!”


  It would’ve been stranger if it didn’t accept him! With ten thousand laid about, there had to be at least one out there blind enough to look at your ugly mug!
