Starting With 100 Million Lives

A few minutes later, the tens of thousands of Pill Masters from Yidan Stream and Purification Pill Stream, who had just rushed over to watch the spectacle, all fell silent.

They devoted themselves wholeheartedly to this grand event of Dao teaching.

The skepticism they had towards Jiang Cheng earlier had long vanished into thin air.

To become an Emperor Pill Master, besides having innate talent in the Alchemy Dao, one must also have a passion and obsession for it.

Even the Yidan Stream Pill Masters, who originally saw Jiang Cheng as an enemy, had long forgotten many things at this moment, becoming completely absorbed.

Time continued to pass.

More and more Emperor Pill Masters arrived here.

Once they came, they never had the thought of leaving again.

The more people gathered, the greater the future change Jiang Cheng would bring to the Primordial Immortal Realm’s Alchemy Dao.

The Daoist Cloud over the entire Celestial Pill Department was becoming increasingly dense.

Ultimately, it even alarmed the two Purifying Pill Stream patriarchs, Tian Lin and Beihe, who were in closed-door cultivation.

"What happened?"

The two of them emerged from seclusion, only to find that the gatekeeper disciples were nowhere to be seen.

Looking around, the surroundings were actually empty.

"Daoist Cloud?"

"What happened?"

Their expressions were full of shock.

This kind of cloud, they had never seen before.

Both of them simultaneously sent out their Divine Thought.

But soon discovered they couldn’t perceive the distance, as it was blocked by the Daoist Cloud.

"What exactly happened to the Celestial Pill Department?"

The two Daoist Venerables hurriedly flew outside to investigate the situation.

As they delved deeper, they found that along the way, there was indeed not a soul in sight, not even an Immortal Official from the Celestial Pill Department.

"Where have they all gone?"

"Could it be an invasion by foreign enemies, capturing them away?"

"Impossible, this cloud is the Pill Origin!"

"How strange and bizarre..."

After flying for a long time, the two finally arrived near the White Tower and saw all the ’missing’ Immortal Officials of the Celestial Pill Department.

Whether it was Yidan Stream, Ancient Pill Stream, or their own Purification Pill Stream.

The Emperor Pill Masters of the three main streams were actually sitting harmoniously in the same venue without quarreling.

Moreover, many of them were intermingled, sitting scatteredly together.

This was truly a rare sight.

The two patriarchs of the Purifying Pill Stream stated that it was their first time seeing such a scene in their lifetime, truly a ’living long enough to see it.’

"He’s actually lecturing on the Dao?"

Looking at Sect Leader Jiang on the high platform, who appeared calm and occasionally spoke beautifully, the two were a bit baffled.

"This young man doesn’t have any real skills, what qualifications does he have to lecture on the Dao?"

"Truly does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, lacking any self-awareness!"

"A farce! An absurd farce!"

The two patriarchs held deep prejudices and, having assumed Jiang Cheng cheated his way through the tests, were in no mood to watch further.

They immediately waved their sleeves, calling back the dozens of Purifying Pill Stream Emperor Pill Masters from their state of listening to the Dao.

"You are actually listening to him lecture on the Dao?"

"He is from the Ancient Pill Stream, a wicked path rather than the Righteous Dao of our Purification Pill Stream. If you are bewitched by him, it will lead you astray!"

The two sternly reprimanded the dozens of Purification Pill Stream Supremes and Celestial Venerables.

Following the study of other streams, in their eyes, was an act of betrayal!

A betrayal of their own Dao!

However, those dozens of Emperor Pill Masters, upon being reproached by the patriarchs, neither rose in fear nor ’awoke’ as if given a harsh rebuke.

Instead, they unanimously frowned.

"We were just getting to the interesting part, why are you interrupting?"

"Listening to the Dao requires quiet!"

"Forget it, forget it, there’s no time now, whatever the matter is, we’ll discuss it later..."

After speaking, they directly turned their backs and once again immersed themselves in Brother Cheng’s lecture on the Dao.

A moment later, they resumed nodding and swaying, completely absorbed.

Tian Lin and Beihe, the two patriarchs, trembled with anger.

One must know, these younger generations from the Purification Pill Stream usually treated them with utmost respect, like honoring their patriarchs.

And what was that just now?

"They actually dare to speak to us like that?"

"Forgetting their roots!"

"This is completely forgetting their roots!"

"Damn it, it’s all because of that young man’s bewitching!"

"He used deceitful words to mislead them, leading them into the wicked path..."

"This cannot continue any longer!"

Beihe Daoist Venerable gritted his teeth, "We must drag him down!"

"No!"

Tian Lin Daoist Venerable stopped him.

"Doing so will only make our younger generations dissatisfied and even resent us."

"Then what should be done?"

Tian Lin glanced at Jiang Cheng above and said solemnly, "Why not listen to what he’s teaching, and find many flaws in it to refute them!"

"Brilliant!"

Beihe Daoist Venerable nodded heavily.

"While he entices the people, we’ll point out all his flaws and errors, and he’ll have nowhere to stand!"

"And our Purification Pill Stream juniors will realize how ridiculous he is and stop listening to his deceitful words."

With this thought, they listened again to Jiang Cheng’s lecture with a dismissive and disdainful mindset.

In their view, Jiang Cheng had no real skills, and they should be able to find a heap of errors just by listening to a few words.

Yet a whole minute passed, and they couldn’t find a single mistake.

How could this be?

The two Daoist Venerables frowned together.

In the past, they had debated countless times with Yi Yuan and Taiheng due to different concepts in alchemy.

Even if Taiheng was lecturing now, they could find a lot to argue against.

Yet now, facing Jiang Cheng, they couldn’t refute a single word.

The two continued to listen with a reluctant mind.

As they listened, the original disdainful look disappeared, replaced by astonishment.

In Jiang Cheng’s lecture on alchemy techniques, they indeed heard some methods from Ancient Pill Stream, but also caught the shadow of Yidan Stream.

And what surprised them the most... they actually heard a lot of things with the Purification Pill Stream style.

"How is this possible?"

"Isn’t he from the Ancient Pill Stream? How could he understand our Purification Pill Stream? Was it secretly learned?"

Listening further, the two gradually became increasingly shocked.

They realized that what Jiang Cheng was talking about included styles from all three streams.

Not only that, there was even knowledge that didn’t belong to any of the three streams.

The content of his Dao lecture encompassed everything—efficiency of Yidan Stream, quality of Purification Pill Stream, and the harmony of Ancient Pill Stream.

And the characteristics of these multiple streams were all integrated by him into a new alchemy Dao.

The two looked at the layered Daoist Cloud above, suddenly understanding why the Pill Origin was ’giving so much face’.

This person created a brand new alchemy school!

And his school was not on par with Yidan Stream, Ancient Pill Stream, and Purification Pill Stream, but above these three!

How could one person know so much about the Dao of alchemy?

Where did he learn it from?

This question bewildered the two Daoist Venerables.

Gradually, they stopped pondering over this question.

Because even they, too, became uncontrollably captivated by that ocean of alchemy Dao, completely unable to extricate themselves.
