## History

### Book 5

Sect Master Bei Bang was leading the Anointment Ceremony for Dynasts. He was accompanied by three Sect Masters, who were in charge of managing all things for that century in the sect. More than ten milion members of Morning Dao Sect gathered on the first plane between Nine Striking Lands. Dao Hua and other Dynasts were temporarily granted Lotus Constellation Robes. Bei Bang explained its properties. Then challenges started. Seven million cultivators challenged Dao Kong, who was Su Ming. Seven Dynasts were challenged by a million or only tens of thousands of people. No one challenged Dao Lin and Dao Fa. After Su Ming killed effortlessly 400 challengers, a lanky cultivator named De Shun appeared on his platform. He didn't dare to fight Su Ming, he only shouted to everyone about his selling offers to promote his business. That marketing stunt drew everyone attention for a moment. Then he quickly ran away. Sect Master Bei Bang only harrumphed and forced down his anger. After first day of challenges, Su Ming killed over a thousand of people. None of other Dynasts had more than four hundred something deaths. Su Ming noticed some cultivators that appeared on his platform were suprised. When Su ming asked about this, almost everyone laughed. He was answered that his rank in the Striking Lands was lower than other Dynasts.

Su Ming saw scorn from other Dynasts and the disregard from Sect Master Bei Bang and he put that to memory. Then during the break, he rushed to the first Striking Land. There he beat the records for the fastest passing. People, who mocked Su Ming were shocked and had grave expressions. Most Dynasts were sullen. Even Dao Lin and Dao Fa were grave. Then Su Ming went to second Striking Land. He used the Illusion of Stars, Sun, and Moon to break the illusions of the second Striking Land. After he walked out of platform of that land after thirty-five breaths, everyone was flabbergasted. Yu Lin was still waiting for report about Dao Kong's time in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. He wanted cause suspicion in hearts of others. After Su Ming arrived at the third Striking Land, he faced Jin Xiu, who was the garrison there. Everyone watching was suprised, that Su Ming was not defending, but actually attacking. Jin Xiu conceded that Su Ming won. Everyone was in shocked. Those who knew Jin Xiu's power were shocked more than others. Bei Bang admitted he might have underestimated Dao Kong, who was Su Ming. As Su Ming went back to the first Striking Land, the crowd was stupefied. Then he charged towards the second Striking Land. He learned Rockslide Art and Star Illusion Art from these places. When Su Ming rushed to the fourth Striking Lands, the people followed. On a freezing platform, the person with black feathers explained the rules. Su Ming was shocked by the black light and barely passed first stage. The person with black feathers used the Light of Extreme Darkness to defend himself. Almost all cultivators were immobilized. Only Bei Bang could move, he used Morning Dao Seal to save cultivators and they all retreated. When the Light of Extreme Darkness fought against mountains, the bald crane started yelling that black light belonged to it and it absorbed it When everything returned to normal and people noticed the figure from the pillar of light vanished, they were filled with disbelief. The three wills of Sect Masters in Death Realm descended. They questioned Su Ming. After not getting proper answer, they decided to cancel his right to be a Dynast and banish him to Dao Ocean. Then a ray of golden light descended from even higher place than three wills. It brought a piece of paper and a young man, who announced Dao Kong to be the garrison of the fourth Striking Land. He gave a paper to Su Ming as a gift from Dao Chen. As he was leaving, the young man gave a smile to Su Ming. Bei Bang and other Sect Masters were bewildered. The three wills were angered, but couldn't do anything against Dao Chen's orders. Su Ming returned to the spot used for the Anointment Ceremony.

Su Ming wanted Bei Bang to heal him, but he was refused, because, his injuries were not from fighting challengers during ceremony. Su Ming didn't have many challenges this time. Cultivators challenged all other Dynasts. Until Dao Yun appeared. He challenged Su Ming, but he said he only wished to exchange blows with him. He made two attacks, which were stopped by Su Ming with physical strenght alone. Dao Yun thanked Su Ming. After that, Su Ming coughed a blood and looked toward Bei Bang. With dark face, the Sect Master healed Su Ming. Then Chi Ling Wei appeared on Su Ming platform. They only exchanged two blows. Chi Ling Wei seemed to gain some enlightenment and he thanked Su Ming. Next was Han Ta. He also wanted pointers from Su Ming. After the clash with Su Ming he was stunned for a moment. Then Su Ming yelled to more people would challenge him at once. Seven among top ten in Morning Dao Sect have appeared and joined Han Ta. All eight cultivators attacked Su Ming. But he beaten them back. Everyone was injured. Su Ming let them leave.

When he wanted Bei Bang to heal him, other Dynasts challenged him. Bei Bang turned a blind eye to that. Sect Master Yu Lin made Dao Fa also challenge Su Ming. Then Dao Lin joined them too. When they were about to attack Su Ming, a former True Guard sent by Yu Lin came back from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. The Sect Master couldn't wait to hear Dao Kong's secrets. That person told everyone present how Dao Kong bought a Sacred Constellation Robe of killed disciple. Then how he went to Divine Essence Star Ocean and went through dangerous trials while he was there. He also mentioned the fifth kiln and death of Sir Wu, who didn’t belong to any of the True Worlds. Yu Lin accused him of just gossipping, but the old man's source was Long Hai, which many present remembered. He also said that on of Dao Kong's followers was an Almighty in Life Realm. Most cultivators were doubting about that. Then that person mentioned how the camp of forces from True Sacred Yin World was destroyed. Yu Lin, Bei Bang, other Sect Masters and many cultivators were speechless. The Dynasts were moving away from Su Ming. He wanted them to kneel before him. Bei Bang understood the situation and ordered them to do so. Everyone except Dao Fa followed. When he didn't, Su Ming thrown Life Inequity Spear. Bei Bang tried to stop it, but Zhu You Cai's pressure immobilized him. Dao Fa was torn to shreds. Yu Lin was angry and sorrowful, but forced himself down. The eight Dynasts' dignity had been completely trampled.

After that, Bei Bang was healing Su Ming, but he noticed that he couldn't stop healing him. The Sect Master wasn't aware that the bald crane changed the Rune. The bald crane was very smug and told Su Ming to absorb the Life Realm cultivator as much as he wants. After Su Ming finished absorbtion, Bei Bang was little pale. Then the Sect Master announced the end of challenges and moved to trials in Dao Ocean. The trial was divided into two parts. The first part was to kill ten lost souls in Dao Ocean to obtain the qualifications. The second part was to take part into illusory battle against Immortals' Union. After he explained the proceedings, four Dynasts gave up. Dao Lin was the first to go to Dao Ocean, followed by Dao Han, Dao Hua, Dao Kui and Su Ming.

Dao Lin was first to kill ten lost souls and he entered illusory battlefield. Some time later other three Dynasts also started second part of the trial. They were required to use their own power to change the results of the battles. Since Su Ming figured out the illusory battles the Dynasts were sent to were determined by the lost souls they killed, he was chosing targets only with high cultivation levels. Spectating cultivators noticed the difference in Su Ming's actions. Bei Bang and the other Sect Masters knew Su Ming was kiling lost souls in Mastery Realm.  Everyone was watching Su Ming on illusory battlefield. They watch him kill the black-robed man and clash with Ancient God Luo Han. Yu Lin had a grim expression on his face. He knew the giant was an invader from far away. So when Su Ming was fighting Luo Han, he was forced down the hatred towards him in his heart, because they were on the same side. Spectators seen the Predecessor of Dao Ocean rewinding the battle multiple times for Su Ming to practice. And how it demonstrated the power of tremors for Su Ming. Then Su Ming came back to place of the Anointment Ceremony. Dao Han and Dao Kui failed in the trial and their rights to be Dynasts were removed. Even though Dao Lin and Dao Hua passed the trial, they were filled with bitterness and indignation after Su Ming's accomplishments. Then Sang arrived and took three Dynasts to the Progenitor’s isolation grounds to activate the Flourishing Lotus. After they left, four saint beasts appeared and created continents. Then Sect Masters of the Council of Sect Masters apeared. Ri, Yue, Xing and sixty-eight other Almighties.

Su Ming, Dao Hua and Dao Lin were in Progenitor Dao Chen's isloation grounds. Activating the Flourishing Lotus caused Dao Hua's cultivation base rose from great completion of World Plane Realm to Solar Kalpa Realm. The Flourishing Lotus on his body turned into nine large lotuses. He was very thankful and kowtowed zealously. At the altar, the aloof look in Dao Lin's eyes disappeared, replaced by a thick wave of fervent zeal as well as excitement. His cultivation base increased too. After Su Ming stepped on the altar, Sang took Dao Hua and Dao Lin and they left. Red Su Ming came back to altar from meeting Dao Chen. Dao Hua and Dao Lin were frozen in time. Sang noticed how mad was Su Ming and he only sighed. He predicted that would happen, because he knew Su Ming. He took them all back to the place where the Anointment Ceremony was held.

Guests from the other three Great True Worlds arrived. Old You and old Ming from True Sacred Yin World were asking about Dao Kong. The third prince read the situation. As he was a bit jealous of Dao Kong's feat, so he tried to fan the flames. Sect Master Yue calmed the matter and resumed the Anointment Ceremony. Dao Lin, Dao Hua and Dao Kong, who was Su Ming appeared. Everyone noticed Dao Kong with red hair, bloodthirstiness in his crazed gaze and eighteen blood-red lotuses. Cultivators from Morning Dao Sect saw their Dao Kong with red hair for the first time and they trembled. As Su Ming noticed Yu Xuan, he remembered their last moments. The third prince noticed Yu Xuan expression and he grabbed her by the neck. When Su Ming saw that, his madness flashed and a sea of fire erupted from him. The Sect Masters of Morning Dao Sect were prepared for conflict with True Sacred Yin World, but Su Ming charged towards the third prince from the Emperor of Abyss’ True World. He made a breakthrough to Mastery Realm and brutally killed the third prince, but failed to save Yu Xuan, before she was relocated back to the Emperor of Abyss’ True World. Then Su Ming fought old You and Ming. After he summoned the fifth kiln, existences from inside killed everyone from True Sacred Yin World and the Emperor of Abyss’ True World.

Afterwards, Sect Master Xing explained that to become next Kalpa Lord, Dynasts need war achievements. The full-scale war against the Immortals’ Union was about to begin. Dynasts got their orders.
