Chapter 3126 - I, Huang Daosheng, Shall Ascend to the Heavens in a Single Step
"Is this situation common?" Tianming asked.
"It isn’t very common, no, but it occasionally happens. Consider it a way for Antiquitas Mortis and Myriadpath Valley to maintain contact. Most of the time, the imperial clan keeps their order fragments locked up tight," Chen Tianyong said.
"Has it been held?" Tianming asked.
"It just ended two days ago, resulting in several transactions. Among them, a reverend from Myriadpath Valley exchanged several six-hundred-aperture manna for six grade-six order fragments," Chen Tianyong said.
Six hundred apertures? That would produce a lifebound beast with six million stars, which was already quite precious.
"He exchanged for six grade-six order fragments? So does that mean he"s now the person outside the imperial clan with the most order fragments?" Tianming"s eyes lit up.
"Yes! The reverend is currently on his way back to the stareye and I"m waiting for him on the road! Your timing for coming in is perfect. Quickly have Yin Chen lock on to his location. The capital is so big and he"s returning with treasures, so he"ll surely be extra cautious and I might not be able to intercept him!" Chen Tianyong exclaimed.
"What are his characteristics?" Tianming asked.
"I heard he"s a specter and the head of an ancient house, with a head of red hair like a lion...."
Hearing that, Tianming couldn"t help but strangely laugh and ask with a peculiar expression, "His name wouldn"t happen to be Huang Daolie, would it? Also known as Reverend Daolie?"
"How’d you know?" Chen Tianyong widened his eyes.
"He’s my archenemy in Myriadpath Valley," Tianming coldly said.
"Oh, that"s a coincidence! Today, I"m definitely robbing him!" Chen Tianyong said.
With Chen Tianyong as an a.s.sistant, Tianming"s way of seizing order fragments would undoubtedly become much simpler. After all, Chen Tianyong had his own ident.i.ty and could take responsibility for everything without implicating Tianming behind him!
"Yin Chen!" Tianming first sent Yin Chen to do the search, then gave Chen Tianyong instructions on the direction, optimal fighting positions, and overall coordination, ensuring that in the vast capital of Antiquitas Mortis, Chen Tianyong could accurately intercept Reverend Daolie.
"Got it." In less than three breaths, Yin Chen had already given a positive response.
Tianming didn"t need to do anything; Yin Chen would naturally arrange the details of the encounter between Chen Tianyong and Reverend Daolie. Seizing the order fragments would undoubtedly lead to a major battle; to ensure that they wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone, there needed to be few people around and it had to be secluded.
Huang Daolie would surely think he was quite hidden.
"His son... is there!" Yin Chen informed Tianming.
"Huang Daosheng? The Little Lion King?" Tianming asked with a smile.
"That’s him."
"Just the two of them came here to buy order fragments?" Tianming chuckled.
"That’s right. They are... not planning... on returning... to the... stareye immediately," Yin Chen informed.
"They"re looking for a safe place to refine the order fragments! You need to hurry up and let Uncle Yong speed up. Once the order fragments enter Huang Daosheng’s mouth, they’re as good as gone," Tianming said.
"Don"t worry... there"s plenty... of time," Yin Chen said.
Tianming couldn"t help but laugh out loud, his laughter becoming more sinister the longer he laughed. "It seems that Reverend Daolie spent a lot of money to buy order fragments just to allow the Little Lion King to step into the Foundation stage. Doesn"t Myriadpath Valley despise order fragments? Why’re they still trying to take a shortcut with money? What hypocrites!"
"Wow, if you manage to s.n.a.t.c.h away their order fragments right after they got them, won"t Reverend Daolie be furious? Won"t the Little Lion King suffer another setback?" Ying Huo suddenly became excited.
"The key is, they won"t know who really s.n.a.t.c.hed their order fragments, hehe...."
"You s.n.a.t.c.h their order fragments, become stronger, then come back to deal with them? If I were them and knew the truth, I"d probably be enraged to death on the spot," Lan Huang finally said, glaring.
"Let"s not get too excited. Reverend Daolie is also very strong! It might not be successful," Tianming said.
Huang Daolie wanted to find a secluded place, which was perfect.
"But Uncle Yong, he"s openly trading treasures for treasures. If you s.n.a.t.c.h them before he leaves the capital, won"t it be considered untrustworthy?" Tianming asked.
"It"s okay. It was the imperial clan that made the deal with him, not my minotaur race," Chen Tianyong laughed.
"Is that how it works?" Tianming nodded. "Alright then—I"ll wait for your good news."
"It"s been years since I"ve fought. It"s rare to encounter a Myriadpath Valley specter. I have to admit, I"m already fired up," Chen Tianyong softly growled, his fighting spirit already surging.
"It"s up to you, Uncle Yong!"
Chen Tianyong roared and turned off the transmission stone.

In a certain abyss within the capital.
The tall and stalwart Reverend Daolie was like the king of lions as his astrons blazed. His son, Huang Daosheng, although not tall, had a more concentrated bloodline, and its might even surpa.s.sed his father. It was definitely a case of the son surpa.s.sing the father.
Huang Daosheng was the pride of the House Huang.
If, over the years, House Huang produced several generations of brillant goldlions, each of which became an eminent, it would raise the house from an ancient house to a sacred house.
"Father, I think this place is already good enough. Hurry up and give it to me!" Huang Daosheng took two steps and stopped, looking up at his father with eyes burning with desire.
"Son!" Reverend Daolie"s voice was rough and his expression was cold. He said in a deep voice, "You"ve become increasingly restless ever since the incident at the Ascension Colosseum."
"Dad, I...." Huang Daosheng didn"t want to mention that matter. He felt uncomfortable even if Reverend Daolie mentioned it.
"Since you know it didn"t happen, why bother about it? You’re a prospective eminent! You should know what level you are at. Short-term fame and rumors can"t stop the rise of an eminent of the Million Mundi!" Reverend Daolie lectured.
"Yes, I understand." Huang Daosheng gritted his teeth and nodded. In fact, he was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart. If you were to go out, and everyone looked at you with such eyes, would you still not be impatient?
But he understood his father. Reverend Daolie had a famously violent temper in Myriadpath Valley, so he put it nicely. If it were him, he would definitely be blowing his top every day.
After nodding, Reverend Daolie continued in a heavy tone, "As a prospective eminent, your opponents are those monsters on the Fortuna Ranking who’ve already reached the Foundation stage! Don"t look at your current rank. As long as you refine these order fragments, it"s very likely that you’ll step into the Foundation stage. And once you do, you’ll definitely rank in the top twenty of the Fortuna Ranking! Only then, will you truly be one of the top experts in Myriadpath Valley, and one of the greatest geniuses of the Million Mundi! Now, you"re just one step away!"
"Yes, it"s because it"s just one step away that I"m so eager," Huang Daosheng clenched his teeth.
