Starting With 100 Million Lives

Jiang Cheng had no idea that the top leaders of the Celestial Palace had already devised three strategies to deal with him.

If he knew about the last strategy, he would probably burst out laughing.

Wouldn’t he be eager for it?

At this moment, he was already leading the Three-Eyed Tiger and Yan Yi to find a spot to build a cave mansion.

The three flew for an unknown distance on their journey.

They also passed by many Spirit Mountain Treasure Lands along the way, but Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger didn’t even glance at them and flew right past.

Following these two for half a day, Yan Yi started to feel a bit fed up.

"Where exactly are you two headed?"

"Why don’t you choose one of those many good places?"

"Earlier, there was a place where the origin aura and immortal power concentration were extremely high, something I’ve only seen once in my life, perfect for developing a cave mansion and cultivating long term!"

Brother Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger continued flying, exchanging puzzled glances.

"Cultivation?"

For the two of them, this term felt... so unfamiliar.

"Ah."

Brother Cheng rubbed his nose and vaguely said, "These places are not perfect enough."

The Three-Eyed Tiger nodded wildly in agreement.

"Exactly, those places, although earth spirits are there, the people aren’t outstanding enough..."

Yan Yi really couldn’t grasp what they meant.

Soon, Brother Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger simultaneously descended from the clouds, landing beside a lake hidden among the mountains.

"This place is not bad."

Brother Cheng surveyed the surroundings, with the lake light, mountain views, bird songs, and floral scents.

The Three-Eyed Tiger strongly agreed.

"Indeed, the scenery is superb, making me feel relaxed and delighted."

Yan Yi was a bit puzzled.

She expressed her objection with a blank expression.

"The immortal power and origin aura here are far inferior to those previous places, not suitable for establishing a cave mansion."

She was a very average immortal, always prioritizing cultivation.

Brother Cheng waved his hand with a smile.

"You can’t say it like that."

"We must leave those treasure lands, where immortal power and origin aura are concentrated, to other immortal officials with more urgent needs!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly, we have always been enthusiastic and considerate, leaving the good places to others while choosing the worse ones for ourselves."

Yan Yi wouldn’t believe their nonsense.

Especially Jiang Cheng, who had taken advantage all the way, hardly a selfless person.

She slightly sensed the surroundings.

Then she unabashedly contributed a disdainful gaze.

In the millions of miles surrounding this area, there are hundreds of immortal officials’ cave mansions.

These immortal officials weren’t strong, mostly Celestial Venerable and Venerable, estimating to ninth-grade immortal officials.

Nonetheless, this group of immortal officials shared one delicate characteristic—they were all female.

Along the way, there was really no place like this.

Though Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger hadn’t expressed it explicitly, she clearly understood their intentions.

"Brother, while you’re building the cave mansion, I’ll go nearby and greet the neighbors!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger volunteered to get acquainted with the ladies around.

Brother Cheng glanced at Yan Yi, then transmitted an intriguing thought.

"Aren’t you fond of her?"

"Brother, you’re playing dumb. Giving up a garden for one flower..."

After finishing, the Three-Eyed Tiger vanished from their sight.

Jiang Cheng shrugged.

Then he began constructing the cave mansion.

Starting with a change to the surrounding landscape.

He cleared or repositioned the weeds, bushes, and small unsightly hills by the lake.

Rumble, rumble!

For a while, the lake side was filled with deafening sounds, a magnificent picture of reshaping mountains and rivers.

Yan Yi crossed her arms, coldly watching from the side, showing no intent to intervene.

She was very dissatisfied with this place.

But no choice, Jiang Cheng was the final decision-maker.

She was quite curious to see how this person intended to ’convert’ her?

And how she ought to ’struggle’ with him.

While pondering this quietly, the once calm surface of the lake suddenly shook violently.

Shortly after, the vast lake began to tremble in sync.

Boom!

A gigantic silhouette soared from the lake bottom!

The light of the skies was obscured, with the air turning dark instantly.

Whoa!

Massive water columns shot into the air beautifully, then fell back into the lake and surrounding areas.

The raindrops that landed on the shore were akin to countless fallen stars.

The newly flattened lakeside surfaces quickly showed uncountable deep pits.

Brother Cheng’s eye couldn’t help twitching.

Looking up, he saw a colossal demon beast blocking the sky.

The beast’s enormous wide body was much like a huge bank of clouds.

His sharp golden eyes, gills, flat mouth, and earless feature, despite being a water beast, had four wings on its back.

Being once Master of Grand Demon, Jiang Cheng had some understanding of the Demon Race.

He slightly discerned and recognized it as a Cloud Wave Flowing Rain Beast!

This Cloud Wave Flowing Rain Beast was just Venerable Realm.

However, now grasping and clawing in mid-air, its imposing momentum was startling.

Its deep voice resonated, shaking the distant mountain forests below.

"Where does this ignorant immortal official come from?"

"Daring to disturb my presence, a crime worthy of death!"

Regarding its appearance, Brother Cheng wasn’t quite surprised.

Upon arriving, he, Yan Yi, and the Three-Eyed Tiger already knew about the beast in the lake.

But none of them cared.

Now the demon beast has jumped out actively; he couldn’t ignore it.

He could only shrug, "Building a cave mansion, what’s wrong?"

The Cloud Wave Flowing Rain Beast spread its four wings, the winds howling.

Jiang Cheng was merely mid-stage Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, inferior to it.

Seeing him, yet not immediately realizing his mistake, was utterly unforgivable.

"This Luoxing Lake is my territory..."

"Oh."

Brother Cheng interrupted it decisively.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine."

He waved his hand, "I’m quite accommodating, I don’t mind your ugliness, allowing you to be my neighbor."

Far away, Yan Yi had restrained her aura, quietly watching the scene, almost choked by this remark.

Did this guy truly not comprehend the opponent’s intentions, or was he pretending?

Opposite, the Cloud Wave Flowing Rain Beast was furious!

"Damn thing, all around Luoyan Lake is my territory, I command you to leave, offending me..."

Its words abruptly stopped.

For a sword light descended from above like a streak, cutting down.

Clang!

Jiang Zhang stylishly sheathed the sword.

Whoa!

Large amounts of dark blood splattered down like ink.

Mingled within were the creature’s severed limbs and foul-smelling guts after being cut apart.

Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

Invisible giant hands seemed to emerge in the void, holding those impurities.

Then a spatial transmission sent them into alternate space.

He didn’t want his new home to be dirty and smelly.

Only a single demon pill remained in place.

Jiang Zhang wouldn’t take action and return empty-handed.

Despite the demon pill being only Venerable Level, it might be used as material for Fifth Grade Emperor Pill.

After finishing all this, he dusted off his hands neatly.

Then enthusiastically continued building his cave mansion.
