Chapter 1184: Emperor Sword Order
Moreover, the progress hasn’t stopped yet.
Soon, the Pill’s Profound Pattern has broken through to the Eleventh Layer, the Twelfth Layer!
In the end, it stopped at 7% of the Twelfth Layer, even surpassing his strongest Ice’s Profound Pattern.
This tremendous harvest made Brother Cheng extremely delighted.
"So, there’s actually a way to enhance the Profound Pattern like this?"
In fact, this is only natural.
One must know that the Ten Celestial Emperors are currently the Heavenly Dao’s spokespersons.
And the Jade Cauldron Seal is the highest token of the Celestial Palace’s Pill Department.
The person who holds this seal, his comprehension of the Pill Rule must have reached a sufficient level.
The Profound Pattern of the Twelfth Layer is actually equivalent to a Supreme of main cultivation in the Pill Rule.
Not even comparable to those three Daoist Venerables.
But for Brother Cheng, this was a huge help.
"How many Immortal Yuan Points can this save?"
"Several billion, right?"
With ’I want to exploit the bug’ engraved on his forehead, his mind became active immediately.
If the Great Seal of the Celestial Pill Department can greatly enhance his Pill’s Profound Pattern,
then what about the First Seat Official Seals of other departments in the Celestial Palace?
Can they enhance other Profound Patterns?
If he could refine all the First Seat Official Seals and boost all other Ninth Layer Profound Patterns to the Twelfth Layer, that could save several hundreds of billions of Immortal Yuan Points!
This thought was actually just a thought.
Each department has a Chief Immortal Official; who would voluntarily hand over their Great Seal?
"You, you have already refined the Jade Cauldron Seal?"
King Shi and the other onlookers almost had their eyes pop out.
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
Brother Cheng spun the Great Seal like a top with his finger raised.
"After all, this Great Seal is mine now."
"So fast?"
Taiheng Daoist Venerable and Venerable Qing Ling were also shocked.
"Heavens, this first-class Jade Cauldron Seal isn’t easy to refine!"
"No wonder he’s Sect Leader Jiang."
They had already thoroughly accepted it and quickly adapted.
But others found it not so easy to accept.
Several Divine Monarchs and Emperor Pill Masters from other streams behaved as if they had seen a ghost.
"Isn’t this too bizarre?"
"How did he do it?"
"Kind of godly..."
"Is Jiang Cheng perhaps the legendary Chosen One?"
Upon thinking this, many Pill Masters who originally resisted Brother Cheng becoming the First Seat somewhat started to accept it internally.
Jiang Cheng, as a new official, was planning to give a customary speech.
Then he saw Tian Lin Daoist Venerable and Beihe Daoist Venerable fly off to a distance.
Immediately, the Emperor Pill Masters from the Purification Pill Stream followed.
Meanwhile, the Pill Masters from the Yidan Stream did not continue to linger.
Before long, the Emperor Pill Masters in the venue were only from the Ancient Pill Stream, his old acquaintances.
"Acting so smug in front of me, the Celestial Pill Department’s big boss, are they?"
"Hahaha..."
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable of the Divine Thunder Bureau laughed maliciously.
"A dignified Chief Immortal Official assuming office, and their subordinates being so dismissive, it’s really the first time I’ve seen it."
"Some people being the First Seat is less prestigious than being the Second Seat."
King Shi couldn’t help but curl his lip.
"What face could he have? He became the First Seat through tricks and deceit, naturally, he can’t truly convince everyone."
"Others will outwardly respect you as the First Seat but essentially don’t care about you."
Brother Cheng didn’t mind.
"It doesn’t matter. As long as I can command them, this Celestial Pill Department is still my domain."
Being the First Seat means being in control.
Expecting others to also submit internally is too much.
"Kid, you might be overthinking."
The Chief of the Law Enforcement Department, King Lv, said lightly: "It seems you’ve been deeply influenced by past sect habits, and forgotten where this is."
"No department is anyone’s private domain."
"This is just a department of the Celestial Palace, with strict laws and rules. Everyone here has their own duties, governed by heavenly regulations."
"You can merely constrain them, order them to fulfill their duties."
"Outside of their duties, they are not under your control."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Jiang Cheng directed his questioning gaze at Taiheng Daoist Venerable.
The latter nodded helplessly.
Immortal Officials aren’t sect disciples; you can oversee them while they refine pills during work, but off-duty, they can do as they please.
Unlike previous sect leaders, who had the final say over the entire sect.
In fact, even Divine Monarchs like King Shi of Yi can’t act wilfully within the Celestial Palace.
Some Immortal Officials demand obedience when they issue orders, due to the prestige they have accumulated over tens of billions of years, and their power convincing people.
But Jiang Cheng at the Celestial Pill Department clearly hasn’t convinced anyone.
This slightly disappointed Brother Cheng.
He initially thought that becoming the First Seat would make him the undisputed voice in the Celestial Pill Department, free to take any pill he desires.
"Alright, alright, now that I’m the Chief Immortal Official, shouldn’t you guys show some acknowledgment?"
He rubbed his fingers at a few Divine Monarchs.
King Shi and Prince Yi immediately got angry.
"Why?"
"To congratulate, wasn’t it agreed that you would be congratulated when I assume office?"
The few Divine Monarchs were nearly infuriated to death by him.
"When did we agree to that?"
Our last congratulatory gesture was just a quarter of an hour ago, right?
Now you want to be congratulated again so soon?
Are you trying to milk us dry?
"There won’t be another!"
"The agreement was just that one time!"
Just as King Shi and Prince Yi were about to rebut, King Lv suddenly waved his hand with a smile.
"No, the Celestial Pill Department First Seat is a position of high authority, I think we still should congratulate, shouldn’t we..."
After speaking, King Lv took out a sword-shaped command talisman from his storage ring, only as long as a finger.
The talisman looked unremarkable, like a small bamboo piece.
But King Shi, Prince Yi, and others exclaimed.
"King Lv!"
"You are too generous..."
"To give him this, isn’t it a waste?"
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable at the side was also envious.
"This is too precious!"
"It’s not worth giving it to him!"
Seeing their reactions, Brother Cheng was quite surprised.
His request for a congratulatory gift was really just to annoy King Shi and the others, not expecting them to actually give anything.
Who knew, there really was a reward.
And it seemed quite extraordinary!
"So what is this?"
"This is the Emperor Sword Order, holders of this order can enter the legendary Emperor Sword Star to comprehend the Sword Dao World!"
Sword Dao World?
Upon hearing this, Taiheng Daoist Venerable and Liuyuan lost interest immediately.
This thing is useless without the Sword Heart.
And these Emperor Pill Masters aren’t interested in swordsmanship either.
However, Jiang Cheng was very interested.
He still remembered when Venerable Xi Wu demonstrated the Sword Dao World at King Jia’s Dojo.
It was a new magic technique formed by a few Sword Hearts complementing each other, similar to a special Swordsmanship Realm.
The increase in combat power was quite significant.
Previously, Jiang Cheng could only secretly admire.
After all, in that aspect, he had little comprehension; the 15 Sword Hearts were all obtained through system resurrection, not his personal insight.
