Jiang Yuchan knew the Jiang Clan would join the auction no matter how much she wanted them to stay away.

 

And not only join, they would pile up their Immortal Stones, top ones as well, all so they would be ready to win big against all the other competing clans.

 

…

 

Wu Ming and Ling Bao’er didn’t tarry long in Huangfu Clan’s territory.

 

In the end, Wu Ming chose to keep the two Buddhist Dao Rhythm items on him, while giving the rest to Huangfu Clan to auction.

 

They were sure to fetch an even higher price on Sumeru Immortal Domain.

 

As for waiting to see how the Huangfu Clan handled the auction, the two had no such intentions.

 

They used the clan’s teleportation array the moment they arrived and left for Sumeru Immortal Domain.

 

Wu Ming was aware of his mission, to have Ling Bao’er get the sword immortal inheritance.

 

The sword immortal even had the same constitution as the girl, the Chaos Sword Body. Her strength would soar beyond the sky with such a powerful legacy.

 

[And Lord is sure to reward me handsomely for my efforts.]

 

This was the real driving force behind Wu Ming’s motivation.

 

“Grandmaster Wu Ming, where is the inheritance?”

 

In the Sumeru Immortal Domain, Ling Bao’er was curious about where he was taking her.

 

Her thirst for power was great, training hard so she could catch up to Chen Changan.

 

“Young Miss, there’s no need for titles. Wu Ming is fine. You give me too much honor.”

 

Wu Ming smiled and held his hands in prayer.

 

Ling Bao’er smiled back. “Then you can drop Young Miss as well. Using my name is fine.”

 

Wu Ming was grave.

 

“No, no, no, you are Lord’s disciple. Calling you Young Miss is a must.”

 

“You really don’t have to.” Ling Bao’er sighed, knowing how pointless it all was.

 

Wu Ming, a Domain Lord, witnessed the glory and ultimate power of Chen Changan, as well as being splattered and pieced back together more times than he could count, and developed an unhealthy obsession with Chen Changan. Or maybe his power?

 

Wu Ming was zealous when it came to Chen Changan, and that respect and reverence transferred to his Lord’s disciples.

 

Now that he was in Sumeru Immortal Domain, he sighed with melancholy at his old status as a Domain Lord of thirty thousand years ago.

 

In this place, Buddhism reigned supreme, with the vast majority cultivating it.

 

Ling Bao’er looked around. “Wu Ming, you’ve been reborn, but are you still its Domain Lord?”

 

Wu Ming chuckled. “A Mi Tuo Fo, out with the old, in with the new. Karma was severed upon my departure. The current me has only just reborn. To become a Domain Lord once more would require cultivating for a long long time.

 

“However, if I were to vie for Sumeru Immortal Domain’s Domain Lord position, there could be no better candidate than me. But I no longer have that aspiration.”

 

Ling Bao’er gave him a curious look. “Why?”

 

“Ha-ha, Lord’s power is boundless. My Lord provides everything that I could possibly want, more than I can say about a Domain Lord.

 

“More to the point, a Domain Lord is tough, in control of a whole Immortal Domain, but what of it? Each step forward at that point will be nigh impossible. And with top Dao Rhythm items few and far in between, the only future is by my Lord’s side.”

 

“Is a Domain Lord the strongest?” Ling Bao’er asked.

 

Wu Ming shook his head. “Across the countless Immortal Domains, they rule over a single Domain as its highest power, but they aren’t the strongest. Above Domain Lord is Dao Saint, Half Sovereign, and Immortal Sovereign!

 

“Sovereigns rule over thousands of Immortal Domains, commanding the worlds around them, with everyone doing their bidding. They are the peak of immortals. Now that is the strongest!”

 

Ling Bao’er was stunned. “Do they exist?”

 

Wu Ming’s gaze was hard, recalling the dark legend a hundred thousand years ago.

 

“The most recent Immortal Sovereign appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago in the distant Immortal Domains, called the Awakened Demon Lord. He ran amok across many Immortal Domains, slaughtering without mercy. Cruel and bloodthirsty, he ushered in the Dark Ages of the Immortal Domains.

 

“It’s been a hundred thousand years since he fell and yet no Immortal Sovereign rose in his place. But in recent years, the Immortal Domains have seen an influx of geniuses, a premonition in my eyes, for the flourishing era of the Immortal Domains that is to come.

 

“Alas, prosperity is chaos, with both fortune and disaster. Which is for certain, no one can say.”

 

Wu Ming shook his head as he led her to the sword immortal inheritance.

The place was something he stumbled upon in his days as a Domain Lord.

He gave his shot at inheriting it as well, but he lacked the talent. Now he brought Ling Bao’er to try.

 

He believed she would succeed where he had failed, for she had the Chaos Sword Body.

 

As Wu Ming was once Sumeru Immortal Domain’s Domain Lord, the whole Domain had a violent reaction. Each temple and shrine was washed in Buddhist phenomenons.

 

It meant a Buddha descended on Sumeru Immortal Domain. Every power and faction on Sumeru Immortal Domain was shaken up and sent their envoys to find him.

 

Wu Ming knew he’d cause quite the sensation upon his return. He used to want it too, waiting for them to come and make him their ruler.

 

But things changed and he wanted to keep it on the down-low while Ling Bao’er got the inheritance and he robbed all the temples and shrines blind of Immortal Stones. All for the Lord!

 

As an ex-Domain Lord, he knew exactly where the immortal mines were as well.

 

Especially those cloisters teeming with worshipers. Those were his main targets.

 

Walking for two days now, Wu Ming finally arrived.

 

It had been thirty thousand years since the last time he’d been here, but nothing changed.

 

A steep peak shot into the blue sky, filled with an ancient aura.

 

“Young Miss, the inheritance lies within.”

 

Wu Ming brought Ling Bao’er to the foot of the mountain.

 

Chanting a few true Buddhist words, an array reacted. The array released a heavy aura.

 

Once he opened the array, the entrance to the inheritance was made clear.

 

It was the entrance to a tomb, pitch-black, eerie, like the maw of beast devouring the world. It waited for Ling Bao’er to enter.

 

“Young Miss, the sword immortal inheritance is in the tomb below the mountain. I’ve discovered it to be incredible, as it contains the auras of many paths. It is also so vast that you might see it as another realm. Like nothing I’ve seen before.”

 

He gave Ling Bao’er a map he had ready, with a bright red line showing the way.

 

With how huge and vast the tomb was, even if he had been a Domain Lord, he didn’t manage to explore it fully, only a fraction of it.

 

“Young Miss, the inheritance is marked on this path. Just follow the red guideline and you’ll reach it.”

 

Ling Bao’er nodded as she carefully took the map.

 

Wu Ming warned her, again and again, to never stray from the path or meet horrible dangers.

 

“All right.” Ling Bao’er entered the tomb by herself.

 

Wu Ming couldn’t join her, for he had things to appropriate.

 

He wasn’t worried for her safety, however, since he set up nine arhat statues.

 

No matter how mysterious the tomb was, the tough arhats would kill anything that entered the tomb.

 

He also instructed Ling Bao’er on how to control them.

 

With their protection, she’d have an escort taking her to the sword immortal inheritance.
