Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 570 Late-stage Quasi-Emperor

The materials obtained from Biluo Heart Palace ultimately refined over ten thousand bottles of ninth-grade Immortal Pills.

While those between the sixth and eighth grades amounted to over five hundred thousand bottles!

The ninth-grade Immortal Pills were naturally kept by Brother Cheng for his own use.

The remainder were intended to boost the disciples of the Feixian Sect upon returning.

After all, many of them had perished previously, delaying their progress for millions of years, unable to keep up in cultivation.

Three days later, all the ninth-grade Immortal Pills were ’consumed,’ and his cultivation realm finally reached the late-stage Quasi-Emperor.

Even Cang Ling couldn’t help but express amazement.

"The accumulated resources of both Biluo Heart Palace and Celestial Pavilion for so many years could only elevate you a single small realm, truly a monster!"

"So many ninth-grade Immortal Pills could have been enough to raise dozens of Quasi-Emperors."

Perhaps only someone like Jiang Cheng, adept at ’conning and deceiving,’ could acquire so many resources in such a short time.

For others, it might take hundreds of billions of years without advancement.

His Immortal Power and Soul Power cultivation reached the late-stage Quasi-Emperor, and during the fortuitous encounter at the last Rule Gate, the Speed Rule also reached this level of fusion.

Thus, he could now be considered a true late-stage Quasi-Emperor.

He wouldn’t lose face in front of either Ji Linghan or Cang Ji.

However, it was just this one Speed Rule.

The remaining 48 Rule Brands were still at the early-stage Quasi-Emperor level.

"If you could elevate all Rule Brands to the late-stage Quasi-Emperor, you could suppress an Immortal Emperor directly through rules."

As a former top-tier strong person, Cang Ling’s judgment was quite accurate.

"At that time, even the Rule Incarnation of an Immortal Emperor couldn’t withstand the impact of your 49 Rule Brands."

Brother Cheng helplessly spread his hands.

"Just one Speed Rule is so difficult, when will the remaining 48 be done?"

"Unless I encounter 48 more Rule Gates!"

He touched his chin and pondered, "How many Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors would I have to kill for that?"

New Immortal Emperors ascending might not guarantee a Rule Gate encounter.

More likely, it would just lead to some useless fanfare for him.

Thinking this through, he might have to slay hundreds of Emperor Realm beings, which might still not be enough.

Seeing him seriously considering the practicality of this crazy act, Cang Ling, hiding in the shadows, felt her heart could barely take it.

"Can you be a bit normal?"

"Using the Rule Gate to increase rule fusion isn’t normal practice."

"No one would rely on such an illusory opportunity, okay?"

"But I can’t count on cultivation insights, right?" Brother Cheng argued confidently, as if in his understanding, immortals didn’t need to cultivate.

To cultivate even a moment longer seemed a crime to him.

Cang Ling nearly choked on his words.

"Increasing rule fusion, there are other methods."

Brother Cheng slapped his forehead, complaining, "Ah, my dear sister, why didn’t you mention shortcuts sooner?"

"You never asked!"

Cang Ling replied irritably, "Besides, it’s not much of a shortcut."

"Immortal sects like the Everlasting Hall or Celestial Sword Palace of course have places for assisting in rule cultivation."

"However, those are their domains and can’t possibly be open to outsiders..."

She stopped abruptly.

After some thought, could this really restrict Sect Leader Jiang?

Biluo Heart Palace didn’t welcome outsiders either, yet wasn’t it breached by this guy?

A few days later, Brother Cheng arrived at the outskirts of the Celestial Sword Palace.

Like other top-tier celestial gates, the Celestial Sword Palace had closed its gates to avoid disaster.

However, outside Earth Sword Mountain was bustling with people.

Sword cultivators from various parts of the Immortal Realm, even the Demon Realm and Spirit Realm, gathered here, many with expressions akin to a pilgrimage.

"Celestial Sword Mountain and Earth Sword Mountain are sword cultivator secret realms formed naturally by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

"There are five types of Sword Hearts, totaling fifteen, each cultivated to the extreme can allow one to connect the Sword to God, straight to the core of the Sword Rule!"

"Among them, Celestial Sword Mountain contains the mysteries of the high-tier Sword Hearts: Everlasting, Eternal Night, Great Sun, Sacrificial Moon, and Ling Xing."

"Earth Sword Mountain possesses the mysteries of nine low-tier Sword Hearts: Wild Fury, Sorrow, Silent Extinction, Paradise, and Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth."

Though Brother Cheng had never studied Sword Hearts, he wasn’t entirely a novice in this area.

After all, he had Rule Brands in the Sword Rule.

However, because he had always relied on cheats for elevation, he hadn’t comprehended any Sword Heart.

Sword Hearts are considered an advanced version of Sword Intent, a sort of mental realm buff that greatly amplifies the power of swordsmanship.

These Sword Hearts naturally aren’t obtainable only on the two Sword Mountains, or else sword cultivators below the Upper Immortal Realm wouldn’t need to cultivate.

In fact, exceptionally talented sword cultivators often have the chance to comprehend Sword Hearts.

Just like the batch of sword cultivators from the Lower Realm’s Sword Domain back then, Ling Xing Sword Saint gained his title by comprehending the Ling Xing Sword Heart.

Similarly, the Sorrow Sword Saint obtained the Sorrow Sword Heart.

However, the realm and power of Sword Hearts are also graded.

At that time, most of their Sword Hearts were at the entry-level Tier One Sword Heart.

In the Upper Immortal Realm, numerous Sword Immortals had Sword Hearts reaching Tier Four and Tier Five.

"Together these two mountains only have fourteen types, what about the legendary strongest Life and Death Sword Heart?" Brother Cheng’s math was pretty good.

Cang Ling responded succinctly, "It’s not there; the Life and Death Sword Heart isn’t so easy to acquire."

Brother Cheng could only look at the sword cultivators who were relentlessly entering Earth Sword Mountain.

"Why hasn’t the Celestial Sword Palace occupied Earth Sword Mountain but instead opened it to sword cultivators from everywhere?"

"Because they cannot occupy it."

Cang Ling said dispassionately, "Occupying Celestial Sword Mountain already defies the public opinion of the world."

"If they were to claim Earth Sword Mountain as well, they would become the public enemy of all sword cultivators!"

"After all, these two mountains are regarded as sacred mountains in the hearts of many sword cultivators."

So that was it, Brother Cheng realized.

Comprehending Sword Hearts greatly aids in rule cultivation.

Thus, he decided to try his luck at Earth Sword Mountain first.

After testing here, he planned to try Celestial Sword Mountain in the Celestial Sword Palace.

At this moment, an Immortal King emerged from Earth Sword Mountain.

Soon, a buzz of discussion erupted among the crowd.

"Bai Luo Immortal King’s Wood Sword Heart reached Tier Five!"

Though the inner trials and insights of the mountain could not be seen from outside, Earth Sword Mountain would produce certain phenomena due to breakthroughs in Sword Heart tiers.

Thus, as soon as he emerged, everyone knew what had occurred.

"Truly a renowned Sword Immortal of the Eastern Celestial Realm!"

"Indeed, impressive!"

His happiness was palpable, a pride he couldn’t conceal.

However, just as he delighted, the crowd exploded with even more fervent exclamations.

"Wow, Fang Yu Sword Immortal’s Golden Sword Heart actually broke through to Tier Six!"

"Whoa, Tier Six!"

"Truly a famous Sword Immortal of the Eastern Celestial Realm!"

At this moment, almost every sword cultivator outside turned their fiery gaze towards Fang Yu Sword Immortal, with many rushing over to flock around him.

Just now, Bai Luo Immortal King was strutting with pride, unable to hide his satisfaction.

However, he had barely been happy for ten seconds before the crowd erupted in even louder excitement.
