Starting With 100 Million Lives

"An Immortal Official requires assessment from above; how can they demand it themselves...?"

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable’s transmission was interrupted by Brother Cheng.

"Old man, don’t play coy with me. With my achievements and that wager, isn’t becoming an Immortal Official a sure thing?"

"You..."

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable had never met someone so direct in his life.

He started doubting Brother Cheng’s loyalty to the Celestial Palace.

Has this guy’s Celestial Heart Level really reached the standards of a King-level Dojo?

Why does it seem like he’s more into bargaining?

"Regardless, it has to be reported and approved from above!"

"Then hurry them up..."

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable directly cut off the transmission.

He was already regretting agreeing to that wager; is this guy reliable?

But now that both high-ranking parties had reached an agreement, the die was cast. Late to say anything now.

Since becoming an Immortal Official is certain, there’s no need to save the Celestial Dao Points.

Brother Cheng arrived at the fortress’s Celestial Dao Points exchange and chose to exchange all 1.79 million Celestial Dao Points for pills.

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable couldn’t stand this choice and couldn’t help but speak up.

"Are you crazy, why exchange for so many pills?"

"I see your Daoist Artifact is still Tier Five, lacking any special Secret Treasure. There’s also key treasures needed to break through bottlenecks, Daoist Secret Records, Swordsmanship Secret Manuals...aren’t all these more important than Emperor Pills?"

Indeed, in others’ eyes, Daoist Treasure and breakthrough items are truly hard to get.

Emperor Pills are important but not as difficult to obtain.

However, Brother Cheng thought differently.

What he lacked now was Immortal Power cultivation. His Divine Soul and Rule Realm were in place, without bottlenecks.

Regarding Daoist Artifacts and Secret Treasures, future trophies would certainly include them.

A hundred Celestial Dao Points can be exchanged for a bottle of Sixth-grade Emperor Pills.

Pills of this level typically only befit Celestial Venerables.

And that was the reason Lai Ping and Bian Xiu were so excited.

They’re only Emperor Realm First and Fourth Layer.

With over thirty thousand Celestial Dao Points, it’s enough to change their life’s trajectory.

Disregarding Yu Jin Daoist Venerable’s advice, Brother Cheng went ahead and exchanged for over seventeen thousand bottles!

Coupled with previous loot and what he scavenged from the two Daoist Venerables, the total reached over thirty-three thousand bottles.

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable could only watch helplessly.

Finally, he gave Brother Cheng a Jade Talisman.

"This is a protective talisman. If you encounter irresistible danger, activate it promptly, and help will come."

As the party involved in the wager, the Celestial Palace doesn’t want him to perish, at least not in these ten thousand years.

Basic protection is necessary.

Brother Cheng accepted the talisman, secretly smirking, "Do I really need this?"

With a system hack, he wouldn’t mind dying.

"It’s best if you don’t need it!"

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

After exchanging pills, Lai Ping and the others bid farewell reluctantly to Jiang Cheng.

Afterward, he met Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger.

These two Demon Race Supremes now seemed entirely free of Evil Immortal and Land of Dao Extinction traits.

Externally, their aura was identical to the Demon Race here in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, she has been coated with a layer of Celestial Heart Aura, top-grade, lasting ten thousand years."

"It allows ease of movement in the Celestial Palace."

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable gave Yan Yi a meaningful look.

"I hope after ten thousand years, when this fake Celestial Heart Aura disappears, you’ll fit in the Celestial Palace just fine."

Yan Yi said expressionlessly, "That’s unlikely, I won’t be converted by you!"

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable smiled calmly, "That might not be certain."

This wager gave the Celestial Palace a huge advantage.

That being the wager’s ’arena’ is within the Celestial Palace.

It’s a home court with Celestial Palace Immortal Officials everywhere, no other Evil Immortals.

He didn’t believe Yan Yi could remain an Evil Immortal surrounded by such an environment daily.

Leaving the Yunzhao War Zone, Jiang Cheng led Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger, forming an odd trio, to return to King Jia’s Dojo.

Throughout the trip, the Three-Eyed Tiger naturally sought opportunities to get close to Yan Yi.

Logically, having saved her once before, Yan Yi should have some trust in him.

Unfortunately, she was solely focused on lowering Jiang Cheng’s ’Celestial Heart,’ aiming for the Evil Immortal Realm to win the grand wager.

She wasn’t at all interested in paying him attention.

This left Brother Hu quite hurt.

Thus he turned his attention back to Sect Leader Jiang.

"Brother, brother, help me out a bit."

Hearing his transmission, Brother Cheng was speechless.

This Tiger Demon was pretending not to know him, standing against him to chase a girl.

Such bizarre action left Brother Cheng unsure of what to say.

"What do you want now?"

"Brother, how about you bully her, scare her so she lacks security, then I step in to protect her..."

Brother Cheng looked at him with disdain, "So she trusts and relies on you even more, until she’s truly devoted?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger beamed, "Yes, yes, Brother you’re smart!"

Sect Leader Jiang felt he had never been so disdainful of someone.

Okay, the Tiger Demon wasn’t human.

He said wistfully, "I’m curious how she’d feel hearing our transmission contents."

The Three-Eyed Tiger shamelessly replied, "Hehe, with my sincerity, she’d be even more moved."

Brother Cheng said flatly, "I’m not interested in helping."

The Three-Eyed Tiger grew anxious.

"Don’t be like that, brother, you don’t lose anything..."

"But I don’t gain anything either."

Brother Cheng impatiently cut him off.

"We’re boasting partners, not partners for chasing women."

"Brother, with your extraordinary talent, your range exceeds boasting!"

"No discussion!"

"Brother, reconsider, I’ll help you in the future..."

"Do I need to chase women?"

Yan Yi, expressionless beside them, could only see them winking occasionally, unaware they were transmitting ’schemes.’

She thought the Three-Eyed Tiger was using expressions to intimidate Jiang Cheng.

Thus, a few days later, they returned to King Jia’s Dojo.

Upon entry, Jiang Cheng sensed something odd with the atmosphere inside.

Usually, the dojo was quite deserted, given its grand size with few people.

Yet now every corner bristled with celebratory vibes.

Distant mountains and buildings were glowing with festive decorations.

Listening carefully, laughter was audible from afar.

"Whoa, could it be they heard about me making a name for myself and arranged a celebration inside the dojo?"

Brother Cheng stroked his chin, speculation written on his face.

"Alas, outside I only did trivial things."

"Going all out like this, how could I not feel embarrassed, haha..."

Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger muttered simultaneously.

You say you’re embarrassed, but not a hint of it shows.

At this moment, two Lower Court Welcoming Disciples spotted him.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang has returned?"

"Haha, what a coincidence!"

"Who are these two..."

They referred to the Three-Eyed Tiger and Yan Yi.

With their Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, they couldn’t fathom the depth of those Supremes.
