Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 952 - 952: You Want to Be My Master Too

The Crystal Soul is elusive, unless one's Divine Soul Realm is higher than this.Alternatively, Brother Cheng could voluntarily reveal himself.

Thus, the divine thoughts of the Venerables scanned around.

They earnestly wanted to find that new Venerable.

In the midst, they saw Brother Cheng sitting cross-legged cultivating, but they didn't guess it was him at all.

After all, Brother Cheng's cultivation was only at the Emperor Realm Fifth Layer...

And the Crystal Soul can only be obtained at the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

They thought there was a new Emperor Realm Ninth Layer in the Ice Origin Valley.

All their attention was focused on those at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng himself seemed to have experienced a sublimation of his life level!

In this Ice Origin Valley, previously, because the origin was below, divine souls couldn't probe far.

But having just transformed to the Crystal Soul, his divine thought extended and broke through the entire Ice Origin Valley, penetrating directly to the outside world.

The entire Ice Realm, at this moment, lay open to his eyes!

All the people in the Ice Realm, including Ji Cang at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, were all under Jiang Cheng's watch.

However, the only ones who could sense anything were those few at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.

They looked up in amazement, wanting to find the source of the gaze.

But they couldn't find any trace.

If it really came to a fight, due to the huge gap in Immortal Power Realm, breaking their defense wouldn't be possible; Jiang Cheng actually still couldn't beat those few Emperor Realm Eighth Layers in the Ice Palace.

But the advantage in the divine soul aspect at least ensured he wouldn't be instantly defeated.

And this illusion of having everything under control was truly marvelous.

He contentedly withdrew his Crystal Soul, returning through the origin blockade, intending to go back into the valley.

And this time, as his Crystal Soul traversed the origin, a voice full of amazement suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Your divine soul can actually pass unhindered through the origin?"

Brother Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw, deep in the origin, an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged.

This person drifted with the waves in the ocean of the origin, cautiously.

A faint blue light rippled around him, making his stooped figure appear as glorious as a Divine Mansion.

Almost every moment, the origin corroded that light.

However, due to the old man's constant urging, the corroded light was quickly replenished, always keeping the power of origin devouring at bay.

Although it looked laborious, this miraculous balance allowed the old man in the rough cotton garment not to be devoured by the origin.

Miraculously living in the depths of the origin.

And from that circle of light, Brother Cheng smelled a familiar aura — Law Space!

This person surprisingly also possessed a Law Space?

Which means he also has a Daoist Heart!

Could it be that he also came from the Immortal Realm?

"Strange indeed, your cultivation doesn't seem high, yet you possess a Crystal Soul?"

He didn't know how he saw through Brother Cheng's outer cultivation from the Divine Soul Realm.

"And your Crystal Soul can actually survive in the dangerous origin?"

The old man looked puzzled.

One should know, in the Ice Origin Valley, Venerables like Yun Suo, Zuo Mo, although they were Emperor Realm Ninth Layers possessing Crystal Souls, if their Crystal Souls ventured deep into the origin, they would face annihilation.

The power of origin devouring would devour everything, including divine souls.

Not to mention at the Crystal Soul Level, even at higher Divine Soul Levels, they couldn't accomplish what Brother Cheng did now.

"With such aura, having some unique qualities is perfectly normal, steady as she goes."

This guy was as flamboyant as ever.

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly as he clearly hadn't met anyone of this style before.

Then he chuckled wryly.

"Never mind, never mind!"

"Do you know who I am?"

Brother Cheng had a vague suspicion.

Could this person be the legendary Ice Extreme Saint Venerable?

This kind of strength deep in the origin, probably only he in the Ice Origin Valley could achieve.

To avoid embarrassment from a wrong guess, he deliberately shook his head, "Truly, I don't know."

The old man laughed heartily.

"I am the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable!"

Brother Cheng gave him some face, cooperatively exclaiming, "Wow, it's really you, nice to meet you!"

Three black lines appeared on Ice Extreme Saint Venerable's forehead.

He wasn't a fool; it was obvious this reaction was too exaggerated.

"You don't seem surprised?"

"No, no, very surprised indeed!"

Sure you are surprised.

Ice Extreme Saint Venerable was quite taken aback.

He could be considered an ancestor-level figure in the Ice Realm, single-handedly changing it.

By rights, no one seeing him shouldn't be as calm as Jiang Cheng.

It piqued his interest in Brother Cheng even more.

"Are you an otherworldly person?"

"Indeed."

"Recently entered the Ice Origin Valley?"

"Yes, absolutely."

"Good, good, your coming here counts as your fortune; it seems your destiny is tied to this old man's!"

He pondered for a moment before speaking some baffling words to Brother Cheng.

"In ancient times, there was a floating spring in the clouds, appearing once every nine years, appearing for three days, then hiding again."

What does that mean?

Brother Cheng listened with a confused look.

A spring in the clouds, is that not just rain?

Rains once every nine years, lasting three days?

"Go now, go now..."

Ice Extreme Saint Venerable waved his hand and then vanished before him.

Brother Cheng felt a bit vexed.

"Old man, speak clearly, I don't like guessing riddles!"

Unfortunately, the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable had long disappeared.

Only after returning to the palace and carefully pondering did Brother Cheng suddenly realize.

Was he planning to secretly mentor him?

To find him every nine years?

Would he teach him for three days each time?

Turns out you're playing the game of the Patriarch teaching the monkey, tapping thrice for midnight teachings?

Understanding this, Brother Cheng was amused and exasperated.

"You want to be my master too?"

No wonder he said it was his fortune.

Indeed, meeting a hidden senior expert and receiving his teachings would be a great opportunity for anyone else.

"Old man, you've got the wrong person."

He shook his head and continued to play with his one-click enhancement.

Afterward, he spent another 15 million, raising the "Immortal Thousand Splendor Sword Scripture" to the Fourteenth Layer.

This too was a swordsmanship realm that could only be achieved at the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

If he encountered an Emperor Realm Seventh Layer like Rui Wu now, even not in a void area, he would still easily win.

On the surface, this leap in challenge level crossed countless great realms.

But in reality, the rules, swordsmanship, and divine souls Jiang Cheng mastered weren't typical of this realm.

Essentially, he was more akin to the state the Ice Palace misunderstood, like a top expert without the Immortal Power Cultivation he should have.

As long as his cultivation was enhanced, he could become a real Emperor Realm Eighth, or even Ninth Layer.

Though there were still 20 million Immortal Yuan Points left, Brother Cheng decided to spend them sparingly.

There were only a few people in the Ice Origin Valley, and since they were all fairly friendly, he didn't want to treat them as a new source of spoils.

Realizing that his current biggest shortcoming was Immortal Power Cultivation, really lacking face, this guy decided to level up properly again.

The last time he got the Silver Moon Ice Essence from Rui Wu and others, there were still over 20 million left.

"Ah, time to begin another long period of ascetic cultivation."
