Starting With 100 Million Lives

The crowd erupted in chaos.

Everyone was shocked, whether they were from Yidan Stream like Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable and Venerable Jinpi, or the Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau and Law Enforcement Department who were following them.

They were all incredibly surprised!

After all, that was Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

Unexpectedly, he was repelled by someone at the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?

No!

This person just wielded the Origin; he's definitely not merely Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

Even Divine Monarchs like King Shi and King Lv couldn't help but narrow their eyes.

Jiang Cheng had previously caught their attention not just because of the wager with the Evil Immortal Realm, but also because he had defeated Venerable Gu Fan and earned first place battle achievements on the front line.

However, in their interactions with Jiang Cheng, they hadn't detected such combat strength.

He looked like a solid Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

Yet now, they finally 'understood' how he'd achieved such feats.

"The intensity of his Ice Origin is no less than a Daoist Venerable!"

King Lv calmly analyzed: "Fan Lei was too arrogant just now and didn't use the Origin, catching him off guard with Ice Origin."

"If they were to truly engage in combat, Jiang Cheng would surely lose, lacking in Immortal Power."

Prince Yi somberly shook his head.

"This is already astonishing enough."

"I now believe Venerable Shang Lian was killed by him; his Immortal Power Cultivation is not as high as a Supreme, but his Origin intensity is far superior."

"For a Supreme, it's all about the Origin."

"This lad's Realm won't exceed Late-stage Celestial Venerable at best, yet he can defeat a Supreme and repel a Daoist Venerable!"

"This monster..."

Recently, King Shi, who viewed Jiang Cheng unfavorably, gradually had a complex expression.

"Perhaps he indeed possesses the qualification to overshadow Qiu Yuxuan."

With these words, the other Divine Monarchs all showed a different expression.

Qiu Yuxuan's talent was universally acknowledged as exceptional throughout the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Especially since she recently joined the Celestial Palace Sword Pavilion, she had further proven to be far more outstanding than outsiders imagined.

She already surpassed the previous three peerless geniuses who also passed through the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm.

She's even secretly groomed as the next Divine Monarch.

And King Shi's words implied that Jiang Cheng's talent might be even more extraordinary than hers.

How could such a person exist?

Prince Yi and King Lv instinctively wanted to refute.

However, the words were stuck in their throats, unable to refute.

When Qiu Yuxuan was at the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, could she unleash such overflowing Immortal Power far beyond her Realm, could she wield Origin comparable to a Daoist Venerable?

Before Jiang Cheng acted just now, they never even imagined someone so inconceivable would exist.

Several Divine Monarchs privately transmitted their thoughts, lamenting.

"What a pity."

"Had we known, we shouldn't have made him part of the wager but should have cultivated him well!"

"He outweighs Qiu Yuxuan in value, especially since he has firsthand battle experience on the front line..."

"He doesn't have Celestial Heart," King Lv suddenly remarked.

At these five words, Prince Yi and King Shi, who were previously lamenting, shut up simultaneously.

Without Celestial Heart, he essentially wasn't one of the Celestial Palace's own.

No matter how outstanding, what use would it be?

In fact, one could say the more outstanding he was, the less favorable it would be for the Celestial Palace.

After Jiang Cheng's strike, the only ones remaining calm were the Pill Masters from the Ancient Pill Stream.

In their eyes, Sect Leader Jiang was omnipotent.

What's so strange about repelling a Daoist Venerable?

This was not unusual at all?

As for Fan Lei Daoist Venerable himself, he was suspicious and uncertain.

However, shortly thereafter, he charged forward again.

This time, he wielded six Origins!

Each one was not inferior to Jiang Cheng's Ice Origin.

And each one's control level was similarly not lesser than Jiang Cheng's!

"Die!"

As the chief officer of the Divine Thunder Bureau, he had to take action for the Immortal Official murder linked to the Divine Thunder Bureau.

Therefore, to him, Jiang Cheng had to die for being the perpetrator!

However, this time Jiang Cheng didn't need to act; King Lv waved a hand, the Dharma Realm flashed, and all six Origins recoiled back.

The attack that was potent enough to destroy the heavens and earth dissipated into nothingness.

"Stop!"

The top-tier stalwart from the Law Enforcement Department, who was also an elite among Divine Monarchs, looked livid.

"Under my nose, you dare to attack another Immortal Official?"

"How dare you treat our Law Enforcement Department like this?"

"And the celestial laws?"

The ten thousand-year cycle was still far off, so Jiang Cheng still couldn't die.

In any case, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable couldn't be allowed to just kill him.

"Humph!"

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable didn't dare act brazenly before Divine Monarchs, only glared darkly at Jiang Cheng as if he were a venomous snake.

Pondering over finding a method to kill this kid next time.

Little did he know, Brother Cheng regretted even more.

"Alas, is it over already?"

The highest merits he'd registered were Supreme; he hadn't reached Daoist Venerable yet.

He had initially thought he could make some record this time.

King Lv grumpily glared at Jiang Cheng.

"You've taken the advantage, yet you're still pretending; being so high-profile will cost you after ten thousand years!"

Without his words, Brother Cheng remembered something.

His mood, which was fairly pleasant, instantly soured.

"What are you guys good for? Why are you so unprofessional?"

He reprimanded them as if dissatisfied with his subordinates, as though it was justified.

King Lv was almost dumbfounded by his scolding.

"What, what are you saying?"

"I'm the Hidden Emperor, am I not?"

Beside him, Prince Yi sneered, "So what if you are?"

Your title of Hidden Emperor was always empty; we never cared.

"So, where's my Official Seal?"

Sect Leader Jiang naturally stretched his hand towards them and even questioned.

"I see everyone else has it; why don't I?"

The Divine Monarchs looked at each other, almost laughing from anger.

Not long ago, you killed an Immortal Official; you should be grateful for not being held accountable, yet now you have the face to ask us for the Official Seal?

Where did you get such boldness and confidence?

"Rank is rank, position is position; without the position, where is your Official Seal?"

"You want an Official Seal? You need a department, an actual official position."

King Shi tauntingly replied, "It was agreed upon earlier; you only have an empty title, no real power, not holding any position within the Celestial Palace departments, naturally having no Official Seal."

"And the Division of Personnel received instructions not to assign you any official position, you should give up on that."

Brother Cheng frowned, "I'm the dignified Hidden Emperor; I deserve an identity token, otherwise it would shame the Celestial Palace!"

"There's a way to get a position; you can approach the chief Immortal Official of any Sector—they have the authority to recruit people directly."

Prince Yi chimed in sarcastically.

"Aren't you impressive? As long as you manage to get into any Sector, you could instantly obtain a real official position; then your title wouldn't be empty anymore."

"Anyway, your rank as Hidden Emperor is high enough to match any official position."

"It's just no one wants to recruit you, hahaha!"

Brother Cheng was stunned, "Is such an operation possible?"

King Shi casually remarked, "Didn't Qiu Yuxuan get recruited similarly before?"
