Chapter 476: Cicada Race’s Sprouts


    Nu Xiao was in glee, “Of course, please prepare, Khan. If you help me be the king of the lion race, I will bestow Khan with the right to stand next to me, to rule the lion race together!”


    Chen Ming said, “Rest, I need to make ns. And I also need details regarding the other khans.”


    Nu Xiao pped his chest, “Worry not, I will write it down immediately.”


    After he left, Chen Ming was pondering the best way to carry out this war. Now was out of the question, not when Nr. 6 was ring at him like a tiger. Their power was around the same, but the fact Duan Shou had failed in killing him spoke of his skill.


    He couldn’t use des in this, only Yan Mountain.


    It was time to let his disciples train in cicada’s cultivation method while also advancing their hardship cultivation.


    His strength needed improving too, since ording to barbarians’ conduct, extermination could happen at the drop of a hat!


    If my powercks, I might even die in one.


    If the opponent is a khan, then I’ll have to ept it. If I don’t, I’ll lose my Khan title and can’t support Nu Xiao.


    Fleeing from the war would be even worse, with all the barbarians right on my tail.


    Death weed all who dared go against the barbarians’ most sacred duel.


    First things first. He would get his disciples to change with cicada’s cultivation and also hardship cultivate since this was the most important. His power could arise anytime, as long as he had plenty stock of merits and spiritual knowledge, while his disciples needed time, a lot of it.


    While letting the disciples work towards being immortals, he’d teach Luo Muye cultivation, then decide on the Fate’s Ten Chains!


    Who knows, maybe the chance for aeback lies in them.


    With a n in mind, he told Ling Xian to gather the disciples.


    It had been a long time since Chen Ming’sst lecture, and the disciples rushed with glee to attend.


    Even Duan Shou mingled inconspicuously among them. Since Chen Ming came back with cicada’s stele, his lecture had to be about its cultivation method.


    As a hardship cultivator, Duan Shou’s understanding wasn’t as sharp, even with the added help from the Heart Enlightenment Fruit.


    It was morning, and not even the sun appeared. The graduates from the Ascending ss watched as throngs of Lords rode their immortal beasts across the sky. Their hearts beat with admiration, “What brought this deployment on?”


    “They say Mountain Lord is giving a lecture and all the great Lords are attending, afraid to miss it!”


    “It was just a few days ago that these great Lords returned, but waited for the rest to be here!”


    “No wonder there’s such amotion. Mountain Lord is giving a lecture.”


    The great bell at the foot of Yan Mountain branch tolled. The Lords saddled up and flew for the lecture.


    They all sat in silence on their mat, waiting for Chen Ming.


    More than 3,000 disciples sat there, while Chen Ming went pensively down the mountain, “Oh, almost forgot it’s today...”


    Chen Ming climbed on stage and Li Suyi stood up, “Greetings Master!”


    The others followed, “Greetings Master!”


    Chen Ming nodded, “En, sit.”


    “Before we begin, I want to tell you a story. It is how the four Domains were born. A long, long time ago, the Gxy had a glorious cultivation civilization, called the cicada race. This race held all the power, ruled the Gxy with unquestionable might. Even today’s four Great Immortal Domains were nothing but Commanders under them at the time.


    “But the Gxy was fraught with disasters. In the face of an apocalypse, the cicada chose to save the world by risking growing their Tree of Martyrs to the 5th stage. With this tree, they seeded in averting the cmity. But they couldn’t control the new Tree of Martyrs, leading to their rapid decline. It was then that the four Great Immortal Domains turned traitors and wiped the cicada from the world down to their records in history.


    “Master is a cicada. I came out of the endless time flow only to see me and Luo Muye as the only survivors.”


    The disciples burned with resentment, “Damn those four Domains!”


    “The cicada sacrificed themselves for their sake yet only to receive betrayal!”


    “Restore the Cicada Empire and destroy the four Domains!”


    “Master is the true Lord of the Gxy!”


    “Wait, if Master is a cicada, so are we! Restore the Empire! We must revive it!”


    In Chen Ming’s heart, Quite the nationalist bunch. Ah, such honest children. “Our strength is far from enough. This is why Master had brought to you the cicada’s cultivation method and their legacy from behind the four Domains’ blockade.”


    Chen Ming drew Nine Year Cicada, “This is our cicada’s symbol, a de that can surpass time! This de in your Master’s hands is a true soul weapon, Nine Year Cicada!”


    He said all that to make it more convincing he was cicada’s sole ruler. After all, he controlled cicada’s treasure, Nine Year Cicada.


    All disciples watched him with fervent looks, “Our history was actually soplicated. We were once the dominant force in the Gxy!”


    “The Gxy is ours yet the four Domains betrayed us. They must die!”


    “Revive the Empire! Master is the one true Emperor!”


    “We have to restore our nation!”


    “We, cicada, will unite the world once again, will make the four Domains pay the price for betrayal!”


    “Master, tell us what to do!”


    Duan Shou watched him in a daze, Sire Faceless has such an identity! If the cicada rose, he would be an Immortal Emperor, exacting power over thend in Sire Faceless’ stead!
