Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 368: Sealed Paths

Jade Lake felt that another power entered the war for the Devil Gate.

It didn’t know who, but it was enough to keep it vigilant.

The Jade Lake’s higher-ups passed down the order: ‘Seal off all paths to immortality!’

Heavenly Court also sensed things have taken an unexpected turn from Jade Lake’s mess, adding the fact that they weren’t the main cause. Jade Lake was bad enough on its own but now there was a third party joining the fray. They too adopted the same measures, to block the enemy’s incoming reinforcements.

The reason behind shuttling the Galaxy was because of so many stars and constellations standing before one’s target. With the path to immortality shut down, one could only pass through by break it open, and that required a large price.

But the stationed immortals on the stars could borrow the star’s power.

On Scarlet Dragon Star River Office, in a thatched hut on a cliff.

Inside, a strong man with bare upper body was pouring metal into a skull. He opened it soon after and the steam rose up as the metal skull was still red-hot.

The cast skull was linked to a chain at the top. The man used it to hang it at his belt, resting next to other eight.

A mad laughter came from behind, “Duan Shou, again with the skulls?”

The man glared at the newcomer, a snow-white face, eyebrows, and hair, “Bay Jiang, I can handle this myself. I don’t want anyone to burden my work.”

Bay Jiang was irate, “Duan Shou, you are sire Faceless’ Blade, as am I. So why do you dislike me so much?”

Duan Shou sneered, conceit flowing out of him, “Because I am strong enough. Beat it, I alone am enough!”

“It’s not for you to decide. Sire Faceless ordered to collect all Three-headed Dragon Constellation’s souls no matter the cost!”

“Shan Liuyun is Heavenly Court’s general, and a Gold Immortal like you. Do you know how I killed him without alerting anyone?”

“How?”

Duan Shou griped the saber at his waist, and it was out of its sheath in a flash, stopping behind Bay Jiang’s neck. A thin line of blood adorned it and the head rolled on the ground.

Bai Jiang was now aware of the dread of Duan Shou’s saber. It was just too fast!

Bai Jiang didn’t die, being a Gold Immortal. His head saw Duan Shou lifting it up and blood running down his arm.

Bai Jiang said, “Duan Shou, you can’t kill me. I am a Blade. You’ll have to explain it to sire Faceless!”

Duan Shou laughed, “Sire Faceless cares only about souls, not your life. If the souls are in order, in my capable hands, then my crime will be washed away!”

Duan Shou put his head in a mold, “Do you have any preferences as to what metal suits you best?”

Bai Jiang wanted to beseech sire Faceless, but this was an area outside the Faceless’ domain, thus discarded the thought.

The call only worked in the Faceless’ territory.

As to why Chen Ming could issue an assassination invitation on Azure Dragon Star, that was because it belonged to a Faceless.

Duan Shou poured in the molten metal...

Not much later, another skull adorned his belt.

With the paths sealed, the constellation was denied access to the Galaxy. Everyone sensed the war has begun.

Chen Ming also heard about this, Damn, there’s no way to complete the mission now. There’s no way out!

But in truth, over the last period, the whole Galaxy’s paths were sealed off. And it wasn’t because of the Three-headed Dragon Constellation’s war.

Even if the Heavenly Court and Jade Lake didn’t close them, there was no place to go to anyway.

Chen Ming looked up at the bodhi tree to see many spirits frolic about. They did enjoy the Tree of Martyrs.

With the first stage having such a wondrous effect, it makes me eager to find out what the second stage does.

Chen Ming looked over Legless Devil, This minor cultivation method is just like Bones of the Taotie, needing only ten thousand merits. Which he paid to reach completion in it.

He didn’t form any Dao Seed, This cultivation method is more of a complementary one, not waking along any Dao.

Chen Ming put on the mask and returned to his hall and called his Blades, “Thief Bu Liuhen, holder of Heavenly Wolf Bow, Yang Hun, heed my call...”

Bu Liuhen and Yang Hun appeared in an instant as if they didn’t have any urgent matter to attend to.

Chen Ming threw Legless Devil before Yang Hun, “I wrote down a scripture for you. Commit it to mind in six hours.”

Heavenly Wolf Bow’s owner was dead for ages, and the abode was under Chen Ming’s control. He might as well take the credit for it.

Yang Hun’s eyes turned to it, not daring to be careless. This Faceless earned the approval of Heavenly Wolf Bow and, from Bu Liuhen’s words, he knew this man was unfathomable.

Yang Hun reached for Legless Devil and one look was enough to have him hooked.

Chen Ming said, “Bu Liuhen, how is the Galaxy?”

“Heavenly Court and Jade Lake caught wind of our involvement, but are uncertain of who we are. They believe us to be a power from other constellations and cut off all paths to them. Because of the previous massacre of Jade Lake’s troops on Devil Gate Star, the two factions are now in opposition on that star.”

Chen Ming nodded, his mind beginning to cook up plans. With the Legless Devil, Yang Hun should have a Gold Immortal power, but it’s to soon to tell.

On the matter of Celestial Immortals, there weren’t many differences between the factions. Heavenly Court and Jade Lake’s Celestial Immortals were many but they needed to defend their camps, while Chen Ming’s was nice and hidden. He needn’t worry if the two’s attack when they didn’t even know of its location to begin with.

Thinking about it, the number of Celestial Immortals sent by the two on the Devil Gate Star was pretty much equal.
