Starting With 100 Million Lives

Now, upon hearing about the Emperor Sword Star, he truly became interested.

"So, it’s possible to find shortcuts in the Sword Dao World?"

When Venerable Xi Wu demonstrated the Sword Dao World, Qiu Yuxuan immediately grasped a rudimentary understanding of Sword Dao.

Her swordsmanship talent was unparalleled.

As for Jiang Cheng, he was at the complete opposite end.

He felt nothing at all.

He still hasn’t found even a hint of forming a Sword Dao World through Sword Heart.

Since the system does not have a method to improve the Sword Dao World, he originally thought he would never be able to activate this skill in his lifetime.

"Shortcut?"

Upon giving away the Small Bamboo Sword, King Lv couldn’t help the twitch of veins on his forehead.

How did such a lazy guy cultivate to this stage?

"Hmph!"

He laughed coldly.

"Indeed, this is the shortcut to cultivating the Sword Dao World."

"So, what’s the situation with Emperor Sword Star?"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable asked with a touch of doubt: "All I know is that Emperor Sword Star is one of the Main Stars of Circulation, and an Upper-rank Main Star at that, but it supposedly still doesn’t have a Star Monarch."

"Due to the excessive Power of Killing, no one can approach it."

"Beyond that, I’m not familiar."

King Lv nodded.

"He’s right, Emperor Sword Star has no Star Monarch, despite being an Upper-rank Main Star."

"It’s a mysterious place generated by Heavenly Dao after the reorganization of the Primordial Immortal Realm, where only the Celestial Emperor could formerly explore."

"In that Main Star, strange star power containing the Sword Rule is abundant, which greatly assists in merging Sword Heart, forming a Sword Dao World."

"And the Emperor Sword Order is a special token that allows entry into the Emperor Sword Star, extremely rare!"

Upon hearing this insight, Brother Cheng realized the preciousness of the Emperor Sword Order.

No exaggeration to say, if this were placed in front of a group of Sword Cultivators, it would cause a bloody storm.

And such a precious item, King Lv could surely use it for himself, couldn’t he?

Yet he just gave it to me?

This guy actually sensed something was amiss, but he was too lazy to think much with the system cheat at hand.

He directly accepted the other’s ’gift’ with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, you’re savvy!"

He even patted King Lv on the shoulder, expressing his appreciation.

King Lv’s mouth twitched, desperately wanting to erupt in anger right then.

After handing over the Emperor Sword Order, he promptly left with King Yi of Shi.

As soon as they left the Celestial Pill Department, King Shi and Prince Yi questioned him with utter confusion.

"Why did you give that Emperor Sword Order to that kid?"

"Is he worthy of possessing such a valuable token of the Sword Cultivation Realm?"

"That’s way too extravagant, isn’t it?"

Facing their questions, King Lv glanced back at the direction of the Celestial Pill Department, revealing a deep mockery.

"Have you forgotten that once you go into Emperor Sword Star, coming out takes millions of years at best."

The inside of Emperor Sword Star is extremely complex.

Moreover, the Main Star has very special rules; all the Sword Cultivators who enter become engrossed without exception.

Within that Main Star, no matter which Sword Heart you merge with, the time spent will be no less than a million years.

This is under the most fortunate circumstances.

Some talented Sword Cultivators who enter may even spend billions of years.

King Shi and Prince Yi were slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, brilliant, brilliant!"

"Your move is outstanding, brother!"

"We were worried about what kind of chaos that kid would cause in the next hundred thousand years."

"Just leading him into Emperor Sword Star is effectively imprisoning him, and it’s regarded as his own opportunity seeking so the Evil Immortal Realm can’t complain."

"When he finally comes out, the hundred thousand years will have passed, and we’ll deal with him as we please!"

King Lv added grimly: "He has no chance of coming out."

"Without guidance, new entrants face endless dangers within Emperor Sword Star, with dead ends everywhere."

"He will die inside, and die miserably."

"When the Evil Immortal Realm demands him, we can simply say he’s been practicing inside, let them find him themselves."

"And the wager would eventually become inconsequential."

King Shi and Prince Yi exchanged glances.

Then they bowed slightly to King Lv.

"Impressive!"

"Your foresight is exceptional!"

"Just to solve the matter of that kid, it’s unfortunate you had to lose an Emperor Sword Order."

King Lv stated solemnly: "For the eternal order of the Celestial Palace, what does my loss matter?"

King Shi and Prince Yi immediately stood in awe!

Meanwhile, Brother Cheng had no idea there was a ’conspiracy’ targeting him behind the Emperor Sword Order.

If he knew, he would definitely be eager to activate the token and head to Emperor Sword Star.

After all, opportunities to die successfully are few now, and he must seize each one.

Unfortunately, he’s currently busy showing off at the Celestial Pill Department.

After obtaining the Emperor Sword Order, he temporarily put it in the storage ring, leaving it for later.

"Hahaha, congratulations, Jiang Sect Leader!"

Once others left, the Pill Masters from the Ancient Pill Stream remaining there gathered around him, full of joy.

"What Jiang Sect Leader, now it should be Boss Jiang!"

"That’s right, now Jiang Sect Leader is our direct superior, wonderful!"

"Our Ancient Pill Stream is now the legitimate faction of the Celestial Pill Department."

"At least nominally legitimate."

Brother Cheng was in good spirits and returned their salute repeatedly.

"No worries, I won’t let you down."

These people were from the Ancient Immortal Realm, considered old acquaintances, and were respecting him so he naturally wouldn’t mistreat them.

After a round of celebration, Venerable Qing Ling curiously asked: "By the way, Jiang Sect Leader, did you really cheat during that trial?"

"What cheating?"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable discontentedly glared at him.

"Jiang Cheng tricked the Heavenly Dao, which is also a skill."

"Exactly!"

Venerable Qing Huan shouted: "Even if Jiang Sect Leader isn’t a Pill Master, his certification on the Pill Origin is genuine, who dares dissent?"

"If anyone can cheat in such a setting, it would only be Jiang Sect Leader; no one else could manage it."

"Ahem..."

Brother Cheng couldn’t help but cough twice.

Although knowing you’re flattering me, this constant mention of cheating does sound awkward.

"Do you also think I’m not an Eighth-grade Imperial Alchemist?"

Everyone laughed heartily.

"Well, that doesn’t really matter..."

Brother Cheng gritted his teeth: "I really am an Eighth-grade Imperial Alchemist, absolutely genuine!"

Everyone laughed again.

"Haha, Jiang Sect Leader, you’re really amusing, if you say so, then it is so!"

"Certainly, if you declared yourself a Ninth-grade Emperor Pill Master, we wouldn’t dare dispute it."

Brother Cheng felt both frustrated and amused.

It seems even my own people don’t believe I possess genuine talents.

Though when passing the trial, I leveraged the system’s shortcut, the System Refining Technique is indeed an authentic pill refining method.

Honestly speaking, even if Jiang Cheng didn’t use the system panel to swipe through, but honed the pill refining the old-fashioned way, he would still be the most promising to pass the eighth-grade test in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.

"Seems like I need to thoroughly conquer the Celestial Pill Department first."
