The area where the Tree of Martyrs grew had always been treasured in the four Domain, and Scarlet Tide Continent was no exception.

For its safety, Zhong Tongzi poured his heart and soul, when in fact he was quite shrewd. He was a native of this star and he’d always be devoted to it. Chen Ming was at ease promoting him.

He had a thousand Gold Immortal fortune immortal fruits he could use. Holding one, he asked, “Do you know what this is?”

Zhong Tongzi’s eyes flashed, “Is this the fortune immortal fruit? But I have never seen one such as this. Please enlighten me, Mountain Lord!”

“This can make you a Gold Immortal. I have three such men under me, so you better work hard on your cultivation.”

Tears welled up in Zhong Tongzi’s eyes. He knew how important Gold Immortals were in the Galaxy thanks to working as a Manager under Chen Lingyu and discovering Yan Mountain controlled the entire Three-headed Dragon Constellation. A Gold Immortal had a thousand stars under control, and also a Fate Star!

Mountain Lord values me so!

Zhong Tongzi answered, “I shall never forget Mountain Lord’s grace. At that time I didn’t see beyond my nose and said Mountain Lord’s grave already had grass growing. I was truly a blind dog.”

Chen Ming: ...

Chen Ming continued, “You are an Earth Immortal. Work hard and you can reach Celestial Immortal, or even Gold Immortal. But once you become Celestial Immortal, your cultivation would be hard to advance. I will give you this fruit, but only then. I still hope to see you go even further!”

Zhong Tongzi spoke, “No, Mountain Lord, I do not want it. I, Zhong Tongzi, won’t fail Mountain Lord’s expectations and will cultivate to unseen realms. The day will come when Mountain Lord will be leveling the four Domains and become the Almighty Crownless!”

Chen Ming: Fu...

No way! Why is me wanting to crush the four Domains public knowledge?

Chen Ming patted his shoulder, “It’s nothing. Go!”

Zhong Tongzi nodded and went to lead the group to Expansion Star.

When they all left, Chen Ming was about to take off when it struck him, Hold on, Scarlet Tide Continent has only Chen Lingyu as immortal. But isn’t Zhong Tongzi one too?

Uh, is this the candle’s shadow?(1)

Does this mean Zhong Tongzi proposed this plan just to ascertain his position as Chen Lingyu’s Manager?

Well never mind, nothing but a trivial matter. At least he did good work, protecting Scarlet Tide Continent’s safety. Plus, consolidating his position speaks of his devotion, no?

Who’d go so to such lengths if not a loyalist?

Chen Ming was going to feed the Heart Enlightenment Tree.

On Zhong Tongzi’s side, he just led the group to a wide plaza. Some of them were still trying to settle the sinking feelings they got from going through the teleportation array when he spoke to them, “Do you see? This is where you will be breaking through. The Fengshui here is perfect and also has a great array, set up personally by the Lords who learned from the Mountain Lord. Once you’re on the verge of advancing, you can apply for the right to control it and protect you in your ordeal.”

They all could see how much Yan Mountain looked after them, “Now that I lived to see Yan Mountain, my life wasn’t in vain!”

“We live as Yan Mountain’s people, and will forever remain so!”

“Mountain Lord and the sect leaders think of everything!”

“I heard that not even the four Domains are like Yan Mountain, who offers us a haven to break through!”

“But of course. They are all degenerates, while Yan Mountain is new and on the rise!”

“We are Scarlet Tide Continent’s people. Yan Mountain is the first to leave their native home. Of course they are different!”

Zhong Tongzi was pleased, Exactly!

Next, he took them to Yan Mountain’s Alchemy House, “This is where immortal pills are refined. When you undertake your trial, you can apply for Tribulation Pills, a pill that took months of research before Fourth Sect Leader refined it. It is the best for tribulation so that even wounded, you will recover swiftly!”

The ‘tourists’ watched the pills in awe, “Yes, this is the true Tribulation Pill. It’s so valuable that even I participated only once in its refining!”

“This pill alone raises chances by a third!”

“Mountain Lord isn’t ignorant to our plight!”

“It goes beyond that. Do any of us even had the chance of become immortals? It’s all thanks to Mountain Lord, changing the Scarlet Tide Continent into a massive array that we can cultivate this far!”

“Yes, Mountain Lord also shows great concern for us passing the tribulation and even formed a training class!”

Zhong Tongzi took them to the next destination, a glittering mountain, “This dazzling sight before you is due to the piles and piles of immortal equipment on the mountain, with each light representing one item. When you’re about to pass your ordeal, you can apply for a set of immortal armor! This is all brought to fruition by Fifth Sect Leader, all to help you pass in safety!”

The shock and awe of Yan Mountain’s wealth came with a vengeance, “Yan Mountain has so many!”

“Yan Mountain is unparalleled!”

“Our chances of success will rise even more!”

Zhong Tongzi went on with the tour, taking them to a courtyard. Its plate wrote: Ascending Class Living Quarters.

“This is where you will be staying. Tomorrow we will finish the tour and begin the lessons. But, let me give you a piece of advice. Can you see that board? They are the most outstanding graduates.”

All turned to the board and saw his name in first place.

No wonder he pointed it out...

(1) It means those living in one’s shadow are the least worthy of trust. They’re so close, the light of the candle cast a shadow of itself on them when looking at the map.
