Starting With 100 Million Lives

"I don’t believe it!"

"He’s like this, and still has an Immortal Grade Celestial Heart?"

"There must be a problem with this Immortal Array!"

Yan Yi couldn’t accept this result.

After saying this, she also rushed in to test the Immortal Array.

The Immortal Array only lit up with a faint gray light.

"Lower Grade Celestial Heart."

The five Divine Monarchs laughed.

"As expected, an Evil Immortal, with a Celestial Heart tier shockingly low."

They even cast a sympathetic eye toward Yan Yi.

"It’s truly a pity for those who have strayed from the path..."

Faced with the result from the Immortal Array, Yan Yi had nothing to say.

This Immortal Array had no issues at all.

She now felt that the possibility of the Evil Immortal Realm winning that shocking wager was extremely slim.

"Alright, you should leave first."

Prince Yi waved his hand.

"We have some words to privately discuss with this lad!"

Yan Yi knew that Jiang Cheng’s request for a First Grade Immortal Official would surely be discussed by the higher-ups of the Celestial Palace.

After she left, Brother Cheng inside the isolated space became awestruck.

"Really strange, I actually have an Immortal Grade Celestial Heart?"

He smugly arched his eyebrow.

"Could it be due to extraordinary talent?"

"Hahaha..."

"Extraordinary talent my ass!"

King Shi put away the Immortal Array, and burst out in anger on the spot.

"You damn fraud, you don’t even have a Celestial Heart!"

A dignified Divine Monarch, furious to the point of swearing.

The other Divine Monarchs were also furious beyond control.

"Damn, how did you pass the dojo’s detection?"

"You damned thing, not even having a Celestial Heart, you deceived everyone!"

"Damn it, you’re worse than an Evil Immortal!"

At least Evil Immortals have Celestial Hearts, even if most are Middle or Lower Grade.

They’ve never seen someone like Jiang Cheng who completely lacked a Celestial Heart.

"What on earth are you?"

"Confess honestly now?"

Confronted by this barrage of anger, Brother Cheng finally realized.

"You cheated just now?"

"What else could it be?"

King Shi was so angry that his white beard was trembling uncontrollably.

"Luckily we fooled that Wolf Girl, or else we would have lost just now!"

"At first, we even thought you were from a King-level Dojo, with no problem with your Celestial Heart Tier!"

"Good thing we checked in advance today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable..."

"You deceived the entire Celestial Palace, what punishment do you deserve!"

After all, Yan Yi was only a Supreme.

These five Divine Monarchs were even stronger than a Daoist Venerable.

With such a massive Realm difference, and being on their own turf in the Celestial Palace, it wasn’t hard to trick Yan Yi with a little trickery.

But this is only temporary.

In a hundred thousand years, when the results are revealed, the high-levels of the Evil Immortal Realm will also be present.

There’s no room for cheating by then.

What will be, will be.

"Hey hey, you can’t just say that."

Brother Cheng expressed a different opinion to their accusations.

"What punishment do I deserve? What fraud? When did I deceive you all?"

He innocently spread his hands, "That wager is something you insisted on, not me bringing it up."

"I even advised Yu Jin Daoist Venerable several times not to agree in the middle."

"It wasn’t my fault he didn’t listen to me, and you never sought my opinion in the first place. Who’s to blame for that?"

Seeing that he showed no intention of admitting fault, the Divine Monarchs were even more infuriated.

"Could it possibly be our fault?"

King Shi shouted sternly, "You without a Celestial Heart still infiltrated the dojo. That’s truly sinister intentions..."

Brother Cheng shook his hand.

"Haven’t you heard the saying: judge actions, not thoughts!"

He glanced at the five scornful-faced Divine Monarchs before him.

"I don’t have a Celestial Heart, but I’ve slain more Evil Immortals on the front lines than anyone, and have the highest achievements!"

"I’ve made significant contributions to your Celestial Palace, alright?"

"Countless Immortals in the Primordial Immortal Realm’s rear owe me gratitude for ensuring their stability!"

"What have those with Immortal and Divine Grade Celestial Hearts done for the Celestial Palace and Primordial Immortal Realm?"

"No matter how high their Celestial Heart, can they match my contributions? What’s the point?"

After saying this, the five Divine Monarchs were all silenced.

Thinking carefully, Jiang Cheng’s words seemed difficult to argue against.

Intuition suggested something was amiss, but they couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

After a lengthy silence, they reached one conclusion.

The guy in front of them is just too bizarre!

Each wanted to criticize.

In theory, someone whose Celestial Heart isn’t up to standard would either be an Evil Immortal or in the Land of Dao Extinction, both opposed to the Celestial Palace.

How did they end up with someone like you defying the ordinary path?

Clearly lacking a Celestial Heart, yet willing to help the Celestial Palace fight on the frontlines.

Utterly incomprehensible!

In fact, this was the greatest difference between Jiang Cheng and others.

Divisions in factions meant nothing to him; they couldn’t restrain him. He acted according to his own will.

"But the fact remains that you don’t have a Celestial Heart!"

Prince Yi was immensely irritated.

"At this rate, in a hundred thousand years, our Celestial Palace will surely lose without a doubt!"

"You will be a villain condemned by history!"

"You’ve destroyed us, the Celestial Palace..."

Brother Cheng wasn’t buying it.

"Since you look down on me so much, then I’ll just withdraw."

"After all, I’m not the one who proposed the wager. Do as you wish."

With that, he made to leave.

The five Divine Monarchs couldn’t let him leave just like that.

"No, you cannot go!"

If Jiang Cheng disappeared now, the wager would be lost immediately.

Keeping him around would at least delay the outcome by a hundred thousand years.

But Brother Cheng would not be at their mercy.

They wanted to keep him? Could they?

"It’s not up to you. If I want to leave, you can’t stop me."

"Damn, choosing you as the representative of the Celestial Palace was a blind mistake!"

"It’s all Yu Jin Daoist Venerable’s fault; he failed to see people’s true colors!"

If they chose anyone other than Jiang Cheng for the wager, the Celestial Palace would hardly lose.

"Damn it, what exactly do you intend to do, lad?"

"At this point, you still want to cause trouble for us!"

"Don’t push us..."

"I’m not pushing you."

Brother Cheng smiled and shrugged, completely unhurried.

"Didn’t I say before, give me the highest position."

"I’ll definitely cooperate."

"At least for the next hundred thousand years, there won’t be any problems."

Prince Yi and the others were furious.

"You’re dreaming!"

"The highest position?"

"Have you looked at your own Realm? How could you become a First Grade Immortal Official?"

"Who said I wanted to be a First Grade Immortal Official?"

Brother Cheng wagged his finger.

"A First Grade Immortal Official? Isn’t that a tier lower than your Celestial Emperor? How disgraceful!"

Just like back in the Profound Realm, he started as a Great Sage, never settling below others.

Not even the Celestial Emperor!

"You!"

The Divine Monarchs laughed in exasperation.

"Are you seeking death?"

They thought he wanted to be a First Grade Immortal Official at most.

And that was already wildly ambitious.

Yet this lad’s ambitions were beyond their imagination.

"Even thinking of standing alongside the Celestial Emperor?"

"Are you tired of living?"
