Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 951 - 951: A World Without the Heavenly Dao

So the various rule auras I sensed earlier actually came from here!I didn't expect that the very core area of the Ice Realm would actually have such a special place.

"Oh my god!"

"What kind of magnificent and magical scenery is this?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Gong Qing was almost lost in herself, she walked forward foolishly, reaching out as if wanting to touch something.

The respected elders smiled at her, not stopping her.

When they first came here, their reactions were even more exaggerated than hers.

After all, most people of the Ice Race in their lifetime only come into contact with all things related to the Ice Rule and not anything else.

Many of them only know other rules from text and hearsay.

Venerable Zhong Bei looked at Jiang Cheng and remarked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang seems not to be impressed?"

"It's alright."

Brother Cheng secretly pursed his lips.

Do you think I'm a bumpkin?

This kind of scenery, I can see as soon as I walk out in the Immortal Realm.

The only wonder here is that almost all the scenery in the heavens and earth is stacked together, and it floats and moves around.

Other than that, it's just like that.

He only cared about his few disciples.

This sea isn't that large.

After flying to a higher place, he quickly saw hundreds of figures sitting cross-legged in the floating sea from above.

These people were scattered in an irregular manner.

In the most central area, there were seven people.

These seven seemed to be intentionally arranged in positions according to some mysterious formation.

Here, Brother Cheng not only saw Ji Linghan but also saw Zhongli Que and the other three disciples.

However, at this moment, all seven had their eyes closed, immersed in a deep cultivation state.

On them, there also emanated a familiar rhythm every now and then.

Kind of like the Heavenly Dao from the Immortal Realm.

But compared to the real Heavenly Dao, it's still a million miles apart.

"What are they doing?"

Venerable Zhong Bei, who flew here with him, slowly said, "Enlightening the Dao!"

"Enlightening what Dao?"

"The Heavenly Dao."

Can the Heavenly Dao be enlightened?

Brother Cheng had heard of rule enlightenment, mental realm enlightenment but had never heard of Heavenly Dao enlightenment.

Venerable Yun Suo sighed, "This is the only place left in the entire Ice Realm where the remnants of the Heavenly Dao remain!"

Venerable Feng Lin nodded, "Yes, this Celestial Dao Relic Sea is eroded by Ice Power year by year and is getting smaller, maybe in a few billion years, it will completely vanish."

"By that time, there will be no trace of the Heavenly Dao left in the Ice Realm."

Huh?

What are you guys talking about?

Brother Cheng was bewildered.

"The Ice Realm doesn't even have a Heavenly Dao?"

Isn't the Heavenly Dao ethereal yet omnipresent?

Venerable Zuo Mo chuckled.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang loves to joke."

"It's not just the Ice Realm, none of the Three Thousand Realms have the Heavenly Dao, which is why they're incomplete and can never reach perfection; this is common knowledge."

"Could it be you didn't know?"

Brother Cheng twitched his lips, I really didn't know.

The Immortal Realm and Profound Realm he visited both had the Heavenly Dao maintaining the cycle of all things.

And he's interacted with the Heavenly Dao of both realms too.

He thought this was something universally present.

Now hearing them talk, the Heavenly Dao seems to be quite precious?

Is this the reason why Ice Realm people don't have a Daoist Heart?

The Ice Realm's Emperor Realm beings, compared to the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor over in the Immortal Realm, are many times more powerful.

But when you think about it, they actually lack something.

And that is a Law Space.

They don't have their own rules.

So, even though their power is stronger, they don't seem more like the legendary all-powerful Immortal.

Is the place of birth that important?

Oh well, what does this have to do with me?

I have my Daoist Heart anyway.

"How long will they need to enlighten?"

Venerable Zuo Mo smiled, "We don't know either, as short as a few days, as long as a million years."

Heh, that time span is too vast.

If he wasn't worried about interrupting their cultivation affecting Ji Linghan and others' progress, Brother Cheng would have directly gone down to grab people.

But considering now he didn't have any urgent business, he thought waiting wouldn't hurt.

"By the way, where is the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable?"

"He has been in seclusion for years and rarely appears."

"Alright then, I'll just settle down here for now."

The respected elders were surprised when they saw him fly out of the Celestial Dao Relic Sea and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn't plan to go in and enlighten the Heavenly Dao?"

"No, no."

Mention enlightenment and he has a headache.

Isn't getting some skills more straightforward?

Gong Qing, however, seemed fascinated by this special sea.

Hence Brother Cheng left her here to enlighten at her leisure.

As for himself, he casually found an ice mountain by the 'sea' and turned a palace out on top of the mountain.

And then settled in just like that.

Seeing him act this way, all the respected elders were at a loss.

"This is the first time I've seen someone so indifferent to the Celestial Dao Relic Sea."

"Not only that, he seems uninterested in Ice Origin Valley as well."

Anyone who comes here is usually overjoyed and curious about everything.

The extraordinary Ice Origin aura.

The enlightenment of the Celestial Dao Relic Sea.

The profound classics left behind by the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable.

And the guidance from enthusiastic Emperor Realm Eighth and Ninth Layer elders.

Any one of these outside would be a suffocating temptation.

Yet, Brother Cheng seems completely indifferent to them.

"I feel like he came just to find someone."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang really is an extraordinary person."

Settled in, Brother Cheng began to tally up the rewards of the past few days.

After exchanging everything that could be exchanged, he amassed over thirty million Immortal Yuan Points.

And last time his series of actions from climbing the Ice Ladder to breaking into Ice Origin Valley brought him substantial Reputation Value.

Though there's still no submission, shock and admiration are inevitable.

Ultimately bringing him a whopping forty million-plus Immortal Yuan Points.

"Over seventy million, this time I can finally upgrade to the Eleventh Layer."

Upgrading Ice's Profound Pattern to Eleventh Layer requires ten million Immortal Yuan Points.

"I've got plenty of Immortal Yuan Points, upgrade!"

After one-click upgrade, Ice's Profound Pattern increased to the Eleventh Layer, this is a rule comprehension level only Emperor Realm Ninth Layer possesses.

Then he clicked open his Divine Soul panel.

Upgrading Jade Soul to Crystal Soul requires thirty million Immortal Yuan Points.

"Divine Soul can make battles much simpler, must upgrade!"

After another one-click upgrade, his Divine Soul underwent a mutation again, becoming a Crystal Soul, with power unknown even to him.

Anyway, the moment he upgraded to Crystal Soul, numerous auspicious clouds appeared in the sky over Ice Origin Valley.

"Crystal Soul!"

The respected elders of Emperor Realm Ninth Layer like Feng Lin, Yun Suo, and Zuo Mo all flew out, surprised and delighted as they searched all around.

"Which Daoist friend achieved a breakthrough?"

"This is a joyous event, wonder which fellow Daoist broke through?"

"Haha, our Ice Origin Valley has another Venerable!"

"The fortune of the Ice Realm!"
