Chapter 1381 - 1381: Dharma Realm Tier

Staring at the 150 billion Immortal Yuan Points, Jiang Cheng once again fell into the headache of choosing.

There were way too many things that needed upgrading.

The first thing to consider was the Divine Soul.

The next Tier after Holy Soul was Emperor Soul, a level above Daoist Saint.

If he could level that up, then he wouldn't have to keep posing as a Daoist Saint in the future.

Because by then, even without the system activating his Resurrection Skill, he'd still be able to suppress Daoist Saints.

But when he saw that Emperor Soul needed more than ten trillion Immortal Yuan Points, he silently clicked "return to previous level."

Better pick something more practical.

After browsing a big circle, he finally decided to raise the Tier of the Law Space itself.

Right now, his Law Space, in terms of foundation, was the unparalleled Three Thousand Rules.

And in terms of core support, the twenty Origin Daos were way above all Daoist Venerables.

But the Tier of the Law Space itself still couldn't compare to other Daoist Saints.

He spent 120 billion Immortal Yuan Points to upgrade the Law Space from True Realm to Celestial Realm.

At this point, his Law Space had already reached the Daoist Saint level in every aspect.

Feeling how terrifyingly strong the Dharma Realm had become after the upgrade, then looking at his Cultivation Realm still stuck at the Ultimate Level, Jiang Cheng's expression turned a bit gloomy.

"When the hell am I gonna reach real Daoist Saint, huh!"

This guy had always been flashy, and never had any fetish for hiding his Realm.

Thinking about how people always looked down on him first, and he had to show off insane combat power every time just to earn respect, he was honestly a hundred kinds of annoyed.

If he could step out and be a bona fide Daoist Saint Realm from the start, wouldn't that be beautiful?

Time passed day by day.

The Ice Palace was steadily growing stronger.

Ye Ling was scattered, Yimeng Daoist Saint was killed, and the Ten Directions Alliance joined the Ice Palace.

These three shocking pieces of news spread across the entire Yunmi Dao in no time.

They even reached the surrounding realms.

Everyone knew Yunmi Dao had changed hands.

Countless people started asking around what kind of background this Ice Palace had.

How did it suddenly rise up so aggressively?

Especially the incident of a Daoist Saint being slain—it was like throwing a boulder into the ocean, waves upon waves, making innumerable Immortals tremble.

Jiang Cheng naturally became famous.

Now everywhere people were talking about this peerless monster who single-handedly overturned Ye Ling and made Yuan Guang Daoist Saint bow his head.

Even in the surrounding realms, legends about him were already spreading.

After all, that battle record was too terrifying; no one dared ignore it.

But unfortunately, the name circulating outside was "Invincible Daoist Saint."

That made Brother Cheng just a little bit dissatisfied.

Looking at his Reputation Value increasing day by day, his mood finally balanced out a bit.

Under the management of Gong Qing, Yuan Guang Daoist Saint, and the other Daoist Venerables, the Ice Palace had long been on the right track, and naturally became the Dominator Sect of Yunmi Dao.

With Invincible Daoist Saint and Yuan Guang Daoist Saint holding down the fort, and over two hundred Daoist Venerables sitting guard, this kind of Sect basically had no natural enemies.

Many Sects and Clans dissolved one after another, choosing to throw themselves under its banner.

The Sects and Noble Families of Yunmi Dao were as numerous as the stars; the Immortals numbered in the billions.

If they really accepted everyone, even Daoist Saints probably wouldn't be able to withstand that ridiculous Shengyuan Red Cloud buff.

At the current scale of two million people, even Venerables were finding it hard to bear.

Gong Qing and Yuan Guang could only raise the Entry Level bit by bit, first up to Celestial Venerable, and then start trimming away Disciples whose Realm wasn't high enough.

Outside, they set up a batch of sub-alliances protected by the Ice Palace and obeying the Ice Palace's orders, but in practice using another Red Cloud system.

This giant Sect just kept expanding its size day after day.

A thousand years later, a group of Emperor Pill Masters from the Celestial Pill Department came to bid farewell.

"Elder Jiang, we've been out here for quite a while this time. It's about time we headed back to the Celestial Pill Department to report."

All these years in the Ice Palace, this bunch of Emperor Pill Masters basically never stopped.

If they weren't doing Alchemy day and night, they were busy preaching the Dao and teaching disciples, helping the Ice Palace cultivate Emperor Pill Masters.

They really had worked their butts off.

But at the end of the day, they were still people of the Celestial Palace.

As for Jiang Cheng, there were still nearly twenty thousand years left before the gambling agreement's deadline, so he wasn't in any rush to go back.

The masters from the Celestial Pill Department set out on their way home, and everyone in the Ice Palace was reluctant to let them go.

Yuan Guang clasped Master Tian Lin's hands tightly, escorting them again and again; that dignified Daoist Saint almost had tears in his eyes.

"Master, I still have a few furnaces of Pill not finished. When would it be convenient for you to come over again, or I can send the materials to you…"

Everyone else acted like it was some tragic parting of life and death.

"Master, please come often!"

"We still have tons of materials that haven't been refined yet!"

"Come home and visit often…"

"Master, why not finish refining mine first before you leave, it's not too late…"

Brother Cheng pursed his lips on the side, quietly.

This wasn't respect for masters at all, this was clearly you being unwilling to let your Alchemy laborers leave.

Even the production team's donkey wasn't worked this hard by you lot.

Even someone as calm and composed as Gong Qing sighed several times.

If only these Emperor Pill Masters could stay in the Ice Palace forever, how great would that be!

The loss to the Ice Palace when they left was simply immeasurable.

Watching the distant backs of the masters, she even couldn't help sending a voice transmission to Lord Jiang.

"How about… you just force them to stay."

"Don't let them go back to the Celestial Palace."

Brother Cheng shrugged. "No need for that, right?"

"It's very necessary!"

Gong Qing said quickly, "Their presence means too much to the Ice Palace. With them here, not only is our Pill problem solved, but our appeal to outsiders jumps at least two tiers!"

"Hasn't the Ice Palace already become the one and only giant? What do we still need outside appeal for?"

"Conquering Yunmi Dao is only the first step. There are lots of places in the entire Land of Dao Extinction…"

"Alright, alright."

Seeing Gong Qing's gaze grow more and more fanatical, Brother Cheng felt he couldn't hold this girl back anymore.

Why was this Ice Maiden's ambition so huge?

It's only 'a pity' she was too loyal to him.

If she were an enemy, she'd probably have tricked him to death several more times.

Feeling regretful on the one hand, he coaxed her to drop the idea on the other, otherwise the Celestial Pill Department would get worked to death.

"The Celestial Palace is their true home, they're only staying here temporarily. You can't keep them, don't think about it."

Gong Qing still refused to give up.

"Given how much they respect you, as long as you say the word, they'll definitely stay."

"A twisted melon isn't sweet; don't force people."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand as he flew back to the Ice Palace.

He'd already decided that once the Ice Palace was completely stabilized, he'd leave, and in the future stay further away from this woman.

Because she kept egging him on to do big things, which was way too noisy.

However, his quiet days didn't last long.

Only a few short years later, Yuan Guang Daoist Saint came knocking.

After a few pleasantries, this Vice Palace Master went straight to the point.

"Jiang Taishang, do you still have contact with the Celestial Pill Department?"

"No contact. Why?"

"Can you get in touch with them, ask when the masters are coming back to the Ice Palace?"

"They only left five years ago and you already want them back?"

"We've got all the materials prepared, but still can't find anyone to help with Alchemy. I'm dying here!"
