Chapter 1286: The Karma of Coveting a Dao
A new era really had begun the moment Immortal Lord Nineshores stepped down.
Immortal Lord Mi Ming’s rise to prominence had already been transmitted back to the Fifth Star Ring by means of destiny aura. He carried on the legacy of his father Aurora, taking command of the Fifth Star Ring and becoming its leader. He now had incredibly high status.
And now... his performance on the battlefield in the Fourth Star Ring was outstanding. He had killed two God Lords and had taken control over the army! It caused a swell in destiny aura, and filled innumerable Fifth Star Ring cultivators with extreme excitement. Cheering could be heard on all of the supply depot planets.
At the same time, Xu Qing’s status also increased. He was the master of the Aurora heaven beyond heaven, and he had a very special relationship with Mi Ming. He had helped Mi Ming to change his dao to that of the gods, then back to that of an immortal. What was more, he had been the subject of Mi Ming’s very first imperial decree as an Immortal Lord, and had been blessed by destiny aura.
As a result, everyone in the Fifth Star Ring had heard the story... of Xu Qing, the person who Immortal Lord Mi Ming viewed as a younger brother.
True Monarch Xu Qing was going to be an extremely important person in the epoch to come in the Fifth Star Ring. The status, position, and destiny aura involved... left people who had gotten into conflicts with Xu Qing, whether directly or indirectly, shaking in fear.
One person who felt especially uneasy was Li Mengtu’s Master, Poison Monarch! He was also in the Fourth Star Ring at the moment. He had just finished a fight to the death with a True God, and he had won. He was currently seated cross-legged on a gray asteroid.[1]
Seated cross-legged around him were his subordinates. If Xu Qing were present, he would recognize those subordinates. They were the very same squadron that he had clashed with early on. There were fewer of them now. All the survivors were injured in some way, and they looked exhausted.
None of them were speaking any more than Poison Monarch was speaking. Occasionally, some of them looked like they wanted to say something to Poison Monarch, but in the end, none did.[2]
Poison Monarch didn’t look back at them. However, given the level of his cultivation base, he knew exactly what was going on. He felt just as bitter as them.
