Starting With 100 Million Lives

Brother Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

He then asked, "Which do you think is stronger, the Land of Dao Extinction or the Celestial Palace?"

This question took everyone by surprise.

Why ask this all of a sudden?

Except for the Evil Immortal Realm, all the immortals who didn’t want to submit to the Celestial Palace have basically come to the Land of Dao Extinction.

The Duan Yang Dao and Blood Demon Dao are only the tip of the iceberg in the Land of Dao Extinction.

And in just these two places, there have already appeared two Daoist Saints.

Some Great Powers, in terms of realm and power, are even comparable to the Celestial Emperor.

It’s just that they lack the blessing of the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure.

As people of the Land of Dao Extinction, they have little regard for the Celestial Palace.

So many Daoist Venerables immediately replied, "Naturally, the Land of Dao Extinction is stronger!"

"It has to be the Land of Dao Extinction!"

"How can the foundation of the Celestial Palace compare to our Land of Dao Extinction?"

"Back in the day, seven or eight out of ten geniuses and powerhouses of the Three Thousand Realms ended up in the Land of Dao Extinction."

"If it weren’t for the protection of the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure and those Main Stars guarding it, the Primordial Immortal Realm wouldn’t even fall under the control of the Celestial Palace."

However, there were also many among them who voiced their objections.

"I think the Celestial Palace is stronger!"

"That’s right, the Celestial Palace is definitely stronger."

These people were speaking against their true intentions.

They had heard, after all, that Jiang Cheng came from the Celestial Palace.

To win his favor, these people cleverly praised the opposite side, completely unaware that Brother Cheng didn’t have any sense of belonging to the Celestial Palace at all.

"The Celestial Palace is much stronger than our Land of Dao Extinction."

"Honestly, we were just driven in here. How can we have the face to say others are inferior to us?"

"Puh, what is the Celestial Palace, do they dare to attack our Land of Dao Extinction and see?"

"We don’t dare to attack them either..."

For a moment, the two sides began to argue.

And just at this time, someone in the crowd suddenly expressed a different opinion.

"I think whichever side Sect Leader Jiang is on is the stronger one."

"If he’s in the Celestial Palace, then the Celestial Palace is stronger."

"If he’s in the Land of Dao Extinction, then the Land of Dao Extinction is stronger."

Upon hearing this, everyone cast disdainful glances.

Although everyone was trying to cling to Sect Leader Jiang, the flattery was too obvious.

It was like he wasn’t even using his brain.

Anyone unaware would think you were being sarcastic!

Brother Cheng smirked with an amused expression.

"Who are you?"

This Daoist Venerable, thinking he had misstepped, hurriedly apologized.

"Sect Leader Jiang, it’s my fault, I spoke without thinking..."

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing was still trying to smooth things over.

"Sect Leader Jiang, this is Bai Xing Daoist Venerable from the Bai Xing Hall, he was just trying to flatter you, ignorance is no offense!"

Brother Cheng waved his hand with an expression of disbelief.

"When did I say he offended me?"

He smiled broadly and gave Bai Xing Daoist Venerable a thumbs-up.

"You have great insight; you immediately pointed out the key to the strengths and weaknesses of the Celestial Palace and the Land of Dao Extinction."

Oh wow!

Everyone on the scene was stunned.

Did he actually accept such mindless flattery with a smile?

And was he even happy about it?

Can you believe this? This is absurd!

After a brief moment of shock, Bai Xing Daoist Venerable also smiled and bowed.

"From the moment I first saw Sect Leader Jiang, I knew you were incomparable to others. Even the Celestial Emperor of Daoist Saint has to yield in your presence..."

Brother Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Only after he finished his praise did Brother Cheng pat his shoulder.

"You’re indeed a professional; every word is insightful."

"Sect Leader Jiang, you’re too kind. I’m just speaking from the heart..."

Bai Xing Daoist Venerable felt that as long as he maintained a good relationship with Jiang Cheng, he could become a deputy when he unifies the Duan Yang Dao in the future.

A few flattering words were completely worth it.

Seeing that he was about to continue displaying his divine techniques, Brother Cheng had to interrupt him.

"Alright, alright, your words resonate with me, I’ve decided to reward you with a little trinket."

There’s a reward just like that?

Everyone felt a bit out of step with the pace.

Bai Xing Daoist Venerable was even more overjoyed.

As a Daoist Venerable, he didn’t actually have high expectations for a reward; there were very few things that could impress someone of his level.

But at least it showed Sect Leader Jiang’s friendly and warm attitude.

Seeing the envious and jealous looks from the surrounding crowd only added to his excitement.

Then, he saw Jiang Cheng take out a bright red Hundred Battle Order.

Before he could react, the token that could dominate the landscape of Duan Yang Dao was placed into his hand.

Bai Xing Daoist Venerable was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Sect Leader Jiang in front of him, not quite sure if he was dreaming.

"This little trinket is a gift for you."

After giving away the Hundred Battle Order, Brother Cheng smiled again and patted his shoulder.

And in the next moment, the whole place erupted.

"The Hundred Battle Order!"

"This is the Hundred Battle Order!"

Several Daoist Venerables screamed without regard for their dignity.

There were also those who held their faces in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.

"My God!"

"Oh my God..."

"He actually gave the Hundred Battle Order to him directly?"

"Is this crazy?"

"How can you give away the Hundred Battle Order?"

"Such a precious, important Supreme Treasure, oh my God..."

Bai Xing Daoist Venerable himself was holding the Hundred Battle Order, in a state of dazed bewilderment.

He hadn’t yet processed this huge gain.

Meanwhile, Daoist Venerable Lin Jing and Daoist Venerable Ming Jia both looked at Brother Cheng with a face full of grievances.

"Sect Leader Jiang, shouldn’t you reconsider?"

"Indeed, even if he pleased you, you don’t have to reward him with this!"

If you really want to give the Hundred Battle Order away, you could have given it to us!

We’re so close to you, so loyal...

Just giving it to someone for a few flattering words, this is too hasty and too heartbreaking.

"Once something is given away, there’s no reason to take it back."

Brother Cheng stood hands behind his back at a 45° angle, gazing at the sky, once again entering a mode of pretentiousness.

He actually knew full well what this token meant to others.

"No matter how precious the Hundred Battle Order is, I can afford to give it."

"Just keep it with peace of mind."

He deliberately gave Bai Xing Daoist Venerable a look of encouragement to reassure him.

The latter finally transitioned from a blank mind to overwhelming joy.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Jiang!"

He carefully placed the Hundred Battle Order into his storage space, babbling his thanks.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Jiang, for the treasure, I will not disappoint your expectations!"

I don’t have any expectations for you.

You’re just being a tool to take the token and leave Mowu Sect.

"Alright, now that the Hundred Battle Order is no longer with me, don’t look to me for any deployments."

"The next stage is left to you to perform."

With that, he briskly waved his sleeve and gracefully returned to the palace, under the gaze of everyone looking at him like a god... or maybe something else.

It was only until he completely disappeared from sight that the crowd finally came back to their senses.

Afterwards, a large group of people gathered around Bai Xing Daoist Venerable.
