Starting With 100 Million Lives

As Yu Liu Daoist Venerable rose from the sea of clouds below, Brother Cheng glanced over.

After that, he paid no more attention.

A Seventh Layer Sword Dao Realm test took a whole three months to pass.

And it wasn't even a girl...

He really couldn't find a reason to take it seriously.

His dismissive attitude made Yu Liu Daoist Venerable even more displeased.

What do you mean by this?

This seat appears, and you deliberately ignore it?

And you're sitting so close to Qiu Yuxuan?

Don't you know she's my target, and no one is allowed to lay a hand on her?

His anger surged up!

The ten Daoist Venerables around were all smiling and standing up to greet him, such a stark contrast compared to when Brother Cheng was disregarded.

However, Yu Liu Daoist Venerable directly pushed aside King Jing in the front and then shoved aside King Shi.

Before the Divine Monarchs could speak, he pointed directly at Sect Leader Jiang.

"What is this thing?"

"Dare to sit here?"

The Divine Monarchs exchanged glances, immediately understanding what he was thinking.

After all, they were well aware of Yu Liu Daoist Venerable's style.

King Jing squeezed out a smile and pointed out Brother Cheng introducing, "He is Jiang Cheng..."

Yu Liu Daoist Venerable interrupted him coldly.

"I asked what thing he is!"

His cold gaze wasn't on King Jing but locked firmly on Jiang Cheng's eyes.

As if intending to use this gaze to make Sect Leader Jiang yield.

But clearly, it was futile.

Brother Cheng even had the leisure to banter with Qiu Yuxuan beside him.

"You aren't planning to pick a guy like this as a Second-class Star Monarch, right? Seems like he's a bit not right in the head."

Qiu Yuxuan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"Then why not choose you?"

She teased deliberately, "Even though you didn't sign up, you're the first one out. As a familiar, I could promote you as an exception."

After all, being the head of the Emperor Sword Star, it's up to her word to appoint someone as a Second-class Star Monarch.

The Seventh Layer selection is just a reference for her.

"Mind your status!"

Brother Cheng glared at her, "Always dreaming of good things!"

Qiu Yuxuan, accustomed to his retorts, didn't get angry; instead, she kept persuading.

"Think about it. I value you a lot and would definitely share more star power with you, how about it?"

If Jiang Cheng agreed to be a Second-class Star Monarch, it would be of extraordinary significance to her.

"No, thanks anyway!"

Brother Cheng shook hands repeatedly, refusing.

Joking, there's no way he'd be a Second-class Star Monarch here.

This position is equivalent to a Second-Grade Immortal Official, and it's greatly beneficial for cultivating the Sword Dao—real coveted by many eyes.

But he's already the chief of the Celestial Pill Department, becoming a Second-class Star Monarch here would be a downgrade, wouldn't it?

Moreover, a Second-class Star Monarch is considered a vassal to the Star Lord, and how much star power one receives depends entirely on the Star Lord.

Normally, they still need to obey the Star Lord's orders.

If you make her unhappy, she could strip away your star power anytime.

There's no way Brother Cheng would become Qiu Yuxuan's vassal, living under her nose!

"Hmph, don't know what's good for you!"

Seeing he wasn't taking the bait, Qiu Yuxuan, though a bit disappointed, let it go.

Though they spoke in low voices, with all the High-tier Immortal Officials around, who couldn't hear them?

No one knew what to say anymore.

Aren't you two a bit too bold?

Standing right in front of you is the son of the Celestial Emperor; can't you show some respect?

At least acknowledge him!

Yu Liu Daoist Venerable didn't immediately explode, but his fury had already broken boundaries.

He silently vowed to make Sect Leader Jiang die a painful death and to ensure Qiu Yuxuan regretted it for life.

"I'm asking you, what is this thing!"

He asked this question for the third time.

King Shi and King Jing frowned deeply.

Has this Yu Liu Daoist Venerable gone too far, what is this attitude?

We are at least Divine Monarchs, far superior to you in both strength and rank.

If not for the Celestial Emperor's child's identity, do you think we would acknowledge you?

However, they didn't have to reply anymore, as Taiheng Daoist Venerable stepped right out.

"He is the chief of our Celestial Pill Department, you have no right to despise him!" He retorted unceremoniously.

The three words "no right" struck deeply at Yu Liu Daoist Venerable's reverse scale.

If Taiheng Daoist Venerable weren't an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist, he probably couldn't hold back from making a move on the spot.

"Chief of the Celestial Pill Department?"

He turned his face slowly, casting a cold glance at Taiheng.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Kidding you?"

Taiheng also gave a cold smile.

"What advantage is there in kidding you? Who do you think you are?"

"To tell you the truth, Elder Jiang also has a Hidden Emperor's status, on par with the Celestial Emperor!"

"You, the son of the Celestial Emperor, are nothing in front of him!"

To defend Sect Leader Jiang, he was going all out.

After all, with the status of an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist, even Yu Liu Daoist Venerable's father, Emperor Xiu, would treat him with courtesy.

"What did you say?"

"On par with the Celestial Emperor?"

Yu Liu Daoist Venerable, previously furious, burst into laughter.

Because he found it extremely funny.

"What nonsense Hidden Emperor, utterly absurd!"

Has Taiheng lost his mind to say such foolish things?

How could anyone in the world be on par with the Celestial Emperor?

Besides, that kid is just a Celestial Venerable!

Yet, no one else joined him in laughter.

Upon turning around, he noticed the ten Divine Monarchs had not the slightest intention to agree with him.

Especially King Jing at the forefront, who nodded toward him.

The indication was clear: Taiheng Daoist Venerable spoke the truth; Jiang Cheng truly was a Hidden Emperor on par with the Celestial Emperor.

Yu Liu Daoist Venerable's expression was gradually turning grim and ferocious.

"Are you all playing me?"

Seeing signs of him going berserk, King Shi quickly opted to explain through telepathy.

"There are some hidden truths you don't know, Jiang Cheng's Hidden Emperor status is only for two more thousand years, it's temporary..."

"Temporary or not, it's unacceptable!"

Yu Liu Daoist Venerable cut him off angrily, showing no interest in using telepathy.

He directly roared at Jiang Cheng on the spot.

"By what right does he stand equal with the Celestial Emperor?"

"Mere Celestial Venerable, just an ant!"

"What the hell is he? How dares he sit above me? Did he ask my opinion?"

Hearing this, Brother Cheng burst into laughter.

"So, your rank is so low after all."

He tut-tutted, shaking his head.

"Seeing your grand entrance, I thought you were someone important."

"Turns out you're not even qualified to partake in key affairs; you didn't even know such a significant matter as me being a Hidden Emperor..."

King Yi and King Lv had heard enough.

"Jiang Cheng, shut up!"

You damn instigator, are you trying to sow discord between Yu Liu Daoist Venerable and us?

This guy is truly a black sheep, his intentions are beyond malicious!

Brother Cheng actually had no intention of sowing discord, he didn't need such complicated maneuvers.

He was simply mocking Yu Liu Daoist Venerable, just treating him like a walk-the-dog activity.

Nonetheless, Yu Liu Daoist Venerable was genuinely provoked.
