Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 722: A Furious Quest for a Beauty

"What do you mean?"

"What does it mean for power level to be higher?"

Brother Cheng didn't quite understand what they meant.

"Aren't they just the Fire Rules? What's so special about that?"

Bai Wuqi couldn't help but sigh.

"At first, we had the same thought as you."

"The Fire's Profound Pattern, in the Profound Realm, is very ordinary and not surprising."

"But once we actually fought, we realized we were completely wrong. It's a whole other level of Fire Power."

Emperor Cangxu continued explaining for him, "Those seven, when it comes to Martial Techniques, whether in terms of intricacy or Mental Realm, are actually inferior to me."

"But their Fire Rules can crush all other Rules."

"If I had to describe it, it feels like their Fire Rules are of a higher tier than even the King of Rules."

"Higher tier than the King of Rules?"

Brother Cheng couldn't help but get interested.

Back during the trial in the Immortal Realm's Rule Gate, he had elevated the Speed Rule to the throne of the King of Rules.

Since then, in the Immortal Realm, the Speed Rule has been king.

All the Immortals who practiced the Speed Rule would gain a certain speed boost.

Additionally, when confronting other Rules, they could exert a certain suppressive effect.

Because of what he orchestrated, the overall strength of Azure Dragon Valley skyrocketed.

On the Demon Realm's side, the Master of Speed, Void Splitting Demon Emperor, also went from being a middle-tier Demon Emperor to becoming a top-10 powerhouse in the Immortal Realm.

This effect will last until the next time the Rule Gate opens.

And Emperor Cangxu just mentioned, it's an effect that surpasses the King of Rules.

Imagine how unimaginable that is.

Shu Baiwei nodded, "That's right, that's how it feels. Against their Fire Power, any of our Rule Powers crumbles instantly."

On the other side, Jin Hao added, "Any attack with our Profound Pattern, they can easily solve with fire."

"And their fire, we simply can't defend against."

"Such a thing actually exists?"

Brother Cheng was truly curious.

This is at least two or three tiers stronger than the effect of the King of Rules.

If the King of Rules were this magical, Void Splitting Demon Emperor would have been invincible across the Immortal Realm by now.

"Why is their fire so strong?"

"It's said that because their world is of a higher tier than our Profound Realm."

Bai Wuqi slowly said, "Once, I overheard them mentioning the True Flame World, and they said it's not far from ascending to a High-level World."

High-level World?

Could it be that worlds like the Immortal Realm and the Profound Realm are not only numerous but also have tier divisions?

He couldn't help but speculate, "In higher-tier worlds, the strength of the Rules themselves is stronger? Thus, they can crush cultivators from other worlds?"

Emperor Cangxu nodded, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed correct, this is also my guess."

"But how are these world tiers determined?"

"That, old man, I am not clear about."

Brother Cheng asked again, "Since their strength is so formidable, why deliberately leave your Split Soul, and not kill you?"

At this mention, those present also felt confused.

Ning Zhilin wondered, "They controlled our Split Souls just to force us, every so often, to infuse Profound Power into that black bead."

"But to what end, we're not sure."

"Just for this?"

Shu Baiwei nodded, "For this, after each Spiritual Infusion, they would drive us back to this blank area."

"They don't care what we do normally."

"Nor do they let us linger within the Four-direction Flame Mountain."

"Without accidents, there should be some unspeakable secret hidden."

"Is that so?"

Brother Cheng rubbed his chin in contemplation, then looked toward the distant Flame Mountain.

"Guessing blindly won't lead to anything. I should just go in first, help you retrieve the Split Soul, and then proceed."

Thinking of 'Lan Ti's' Split Soul being controlled, he wasn't patient enough to wait any longer.

Seeing him about to directly charge into the Flame Mountain Peak, everyone hurriedly stopped him.

"Sage Jiang, please wait!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't act impulsively!"

Even Shu Baiwei exclaimed urgently, "You're still relatively safe now, rushing in like that at once, aren't you asking for trouble?"

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Jiang. In this blank area, though they know you are here, they can't do much to you."

"In this blank area devoid of any Heavenly Dao cycle, they can't exert too much power."

Bai Wuqi frowned, "You keep hiding here without going out, and they can't touch you."

"Once you actively go to the Flame Mountain Peak, that would be walking right into their trap."

"If your Split Soul is controlled by them, by then you'll have no power to resist, your fate will be in their hands, subject only to their commands."

They hoped Brother Cheng could stay hidden here.

This way, maybe they could really accomplish something in the future.

Like designing a way to trick the opponent into the blank area, and then have Jiang Cheng subdue them, forcing them to return the Split Soul or something.

This new Big Killer should be used wisely.

Running foolishly into the opponent's headquarters to drop into the trap would be such a waste, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, this completely doesn't fit Brother Cheng's style.

Are you kidding? Is this brother the type to hibernate and hide?

He permits it; his prestige does not.

He once again looked deeply at Shu Baiwei, affectionately saying, "With your Split Soul in enemy hands, how could I sit still?"

"I can't wait another second."

With that, he directly charged out of the blank area, heading straight into the Flame Mountain Peak.

Leaving behind Shu Baiwei, utterly bewildered.

Another set of touching yet cringey love words; she was all confused again.

By the time she reacted, the figure was already gone.

"Alas! What a pity!"

Emperor Cangxu lamented, "Such a strong person with an un-controlled Split Soul, trapped just like that."

Bai Wuqi and others sighed repeatedly.

"This, this, this, is too impulsive."

"All for a beauty in a moment of rage; why bother?"

"He still hasn't understood the true might of the Flame Race People, too full of himself."

"Not to mention getting your Split Soul back; I'm afraid provoking the Flame Race People, he won't even be able to return alive."

They kept shaking their heads, not optimistic about Brother Cheng at all.

Shu Baiwei equally thought Jiang Cheng was seeking death, but at this moment her mood was far more complex.

Originally, she thought Jiang Cheng was just teasing her.

The words he said were deliberately to amuse.

Showing goodwill was merely playing.

After all, someone who doesn't even know her suddenly keeps talking about Daoist Companions; it seems too fake.

But now she found out this person wasn't just saying it verbally.

He indeed put his words into action.

Charging into the Flame Mountain Peak seemed like moths to a flame, but that intention to help her was genuinely unshakable.

Even truly being Daoist Companions, few could do this for one another.

Clearly not acquainted, why would he treat her so well?

She thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
