Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 910: I’m Not Here to Hibernate
At a distance of a few feet from the ice cave, no one could continue flying forward.
An invisible force seemed to be blocking them.
The only one who could move forward was Brother Cheng, who had the Realm Master's mark.
He entered the Ice Eye Cave smoothly.
And as soon as he stepped inside, the Ice Eye lit up instantly.
Even before he started his cultivation, the originally white ice cave was enveloped by red, orange, and yellow hues.
Waves of Origin Aura rippled out, spreading countless miles away.
Eventually, it covered the entire realm!
The realm seemed to come to life, suddenly filled with vibrant life force.
Everyone present couldn't help but cheer.
The cheers were filled with surprise and shock.
"Wow!"
"It's actually the three-color Origin!"
"I remember Tu Xing could only manage red and orange before!"
"My god, this Realm Master is stronger than Tu Xing..."
"This is fantastic, with him here, we are blessed!"
The strength of the Origin Aura the Ice Eye could activate depended not only on the Ice Eye itself but also on the Realm Master's realm.
The higher the realm, the greater the reaction it could induce in the Ice Eye.
Brother Cheng's realm wasn't high, but his Ice's Profound Pattern reached the Ninth Layer!
To know, even Lord-level Emperors in the Fourth Layer haven't reached this level in comprehension of the Ice Rule.
What's communicated here primarily is the Origin, which depends on the degree of affinity with the Ice Rule.
His presence here is actually more effective than any other Fourth Layer Lord's presence.
Among all present, the most shocked was Gong Qing.
At this moment, her eyes were full of disbelief, looking at Brother Cheng as if he were a monster.
Compared to the others, she, the 'Princess of the previous dynasty,' knew more.
She knew the Ice Eye's limit was red, orange, and yellow.
That is to say, the moment he arrived here, he immediately triggered the limit of this place.
To claim, he hasn't even started his cultivation, just merely stood there!
What kind of incredible event is this?
How can this be?
Could it be he was hiding his power?
No, it's impossible.
His previous battle with Tu Xing spoke volumes; he didn't possess Lord-level power!
For a moment, she found herself contemplating deeply but couldn't figure it out.
Seeing the stunned expressions outside, Brother Cheng, who was oblivious to the situation, dismissed it as basic operation.
Unbelievable that just flying in here could cause such a reaction from you all.
Could it be the flying style was so exquisite? Or had I become more handsome?
Indulging in a moment, he finally remembered it was time to cultivate.
Standing within the ice cave, he indeed felt much closer to the Ice Origin.
Activating his cultivation techniques, closing his eyes to visualize, he could even see the massive projection of the Ice Origin.
It was like an infinitely magnified sun, slowly casting endless radiance.
The Ice Eye where he stood was merely at the end of a single ray of light.
He activated the Ice's Profound Pattern and began to carefully perceive.
But after just five minutes, he gave up.
The effects were lackluster!
Indeed, this Ice Eye was at least a hundred times faster than normal rule comprehension, but not even 0.000000001% of the Ninth Layer Ice's Profound Pattern progressed.
Relying on this method to achieve a First Layer Rule Realm, how many billions of years would it take?
In fact, his speed was already faster than other Realm Masters, considering his Ice's Profound Pattern was at the Ninth Layer.
If replaced by other Realm Masters, who could only achieve red and orange, their improvement would at best be three or forty times faster than outside.
And for those people, this was an indisputably treasured place.
A place that could speed up cultivation dozens of times, who needs anything else?
But for Sect Leader Jiang, it wasn't quite the same.
Why would one prefer sitting here to level up when one could instead roam around collecting spoils to exchange for Immortal Yuan Points to upgrade skills directly?
He immediately lost interest in this place.
"I'm out." he announced.
Seeing him about to leave after so short a time, others were puzzled.
"Realm Master!"
"Realm Master, why are you leaving?"
"Yes, yes, you should continue your cultivation!"
Once the Realm Master left the Ice Eye, the realm's Ice Origin Aura would gradually become inactive and return to dormancy.
That naturally was not what they wished to see.
"What do you take me for? A hibernating bear?"
"Get out of my way!"
Brother Cheng impatiently pushed through the crowd and flew out of the Ice Eye.
Seeing the rapid decline of the Ice Origin Aura, everyone tried to earnestly persuade him.
"Please, Realm Master, you can improve inside too!"
"Yes, yes, the Ice Eye is a treasure others yearn for."
Brother Cheng thought to himself that you must take him for a fool.
"I won a battle, and now you want me to be a prisoner here?"
"Whoever wants this thankless task can take it, but I won't accompany you!"
If it wasn't for waiting for other Lords and Realm Masters to retaliate against him, he would've flown away ages ago.
No matter how much others tried to persuade him, he pretended not to hear.
He merely used sound transmission to ask his exclusive service representative, Gong Qing, "How do I remove this Realm Master mark? I don't want it anymore!"
What?
Don't want it?
Upon hearing this, it was the first time Gong Qing was filled with the urge to hit someone.
How many from the Gong Clan shed blood and tears for this Realm Master position back then?
And now you just experienced it briefly, treating it as discardable?
The True Ice Realm erupts daily with battles and plots over this Realm Master position; how would those people feel?
"There are three ways to remove the Realm Master mark."
"What are the three ways?"
"The first is similar to Tu Xing's case; it transfers to you upon killing him."
"The second is to leave the realm's boundary, and after three thousand years of absence, it will fall back to the Ice Eye."
She continued, "At that time, it will be bloody chaos, with countless people coming to fight for it."
Brother Cheng was startled, leaving the realm boundary for three thousand years would make the mark fall off?
Wouldn't that make it very difficult for one to leave their territory?
"What's the third way?"
"The third way is to voluntarily transfer it to someone else, though very few would do that."
Who would hand over a hard-won Realm Master position?
Hearing her explanation, Brother Cheng felt relieved.
As long as it can be given away.
Otherwise, if he left, the realm wouldn't be able to benefit from the Ice Eye's Origin Aura.
"In that case, I'll transfer this Realm Master position to you," he said with a smile.
Gong Qing almost doubted her ears.
"You, what did you say?"
Not only her, but everyone else was equally astonished.
This is a dignified Realm Master mark, a supreme treasure that can enhance cultivation speed, something countless people yearn for.
And it's just casually being given away like that?
Especially for Gong Qing, who was utterly dumbfounded.
To be honest, her lifelong wish for years was to become strong enough one day to reclaim the Realm Master position for the Gong Clan.
Originally, she thought even after countless eons, this wish would remain a distant dream.
But now, her lifelong desire could suddenly be fulfilled?
