Five-colored?

It's actually five-colored!

A surge of wild joy shot straight into Gong Qing's chest at that moment; she felt like she'd never seen anything more wonderful in her life.

In her beautiful eyes, aside from delight, there was also a thick layer of disbelief.

That guy actually pulled off five colors!

This was way stronger than she'd expected.

Could it be that his Rule Understanding is even higher than Lord Jin Chong's?

"Five-colored!"

"It's actually five-colored!"

The first to cry out were actually the two neutral Vice Lords, Geng River and Mo Nian.

Their originally calm, unruffled expressions had long since vanished, replaced by extreme elation.

Their faces looked like they'd just picked up a Supreme Treasure.

"He actually managed to stimulate this Ice Eye to its limit of five colors, my god!"

"This is great, hahaha, this is the heaven-sent Lord for our Celestial Rainbow Territory!"

They didn't even need to discuss it anymore; they directly acknowledged Brother Cheng's position as Lord.

There wasn't the slightest bit of hesitation left.

They couldn't help it; as old established local powers, their roots in the Celestial Rainbow Territory ran incredibly deep.

Generation after generation of descendants—direct lineages, collateral branches plus attached disciples and followers—they probably couldn't even count them all themselves.

All these people lived throughout the Celestial Rainbow Territory.

Sect Leader Jiang upgrading the Ice Eye Origin of the Celestial Rainbow Territory to five-colored meant that everyone behind them in the future would be able to enjoy a richer baptism in Origin Aura.

This meant too much to them.

Not to mention, as holders of the Vice Lord's Mark, they themselves would also gain far greater benefits.

As for everyone else present, they'd already fallen into a frenzy.

"Five-colored, our Celestial Rainbow Territory's Origin is now five-colored!"

"Heavens, this is unbelievable!"

"Hahaha, if the Celestial Rainbow Territory stays five-colored in Origin, then I might actually have a shot at breaking through!"

"Lord Jiang Cheng!"

Very soon, the entire city was echoing with the same voice in perfect unison.

"Lord Jiang Cheng!"

Countless people were shouting themselves hoarse; that level of support was off the charts.

The Vice Lords didn't even need to announce the result anymore.

In that moment, everyone had chosen, from the bottom of their hearts, the most perfect Lord in their eyes.

"With Lord Jiang's appearance, our Celestial Rainbow Territory is truly honored beyond measure…"

"We absolutely can't let this elder suffer even the tiniest bit of harm!"

"A Lord like this, and there are actually people who wanted to drive him away?"

"That's just laughable!"

As they said this, their gazes kept drifting toward Yan Zun.

"Hahaha, what else do you have to say now?"

Lang Zhi laughed nonstop.

He smugly waggled his eyebrows at Yan Zun. "Go on, object again if you dare!"

Yan Zun's face had already gone completely blank.

Object?

If he objected to Jiang Cheng becoming Lord at a time like this, he'd instantly become the enemy of everyone present.

Besides, there was no need for him to object now anyway.

A five-colored Ice Eye would bring him massive benefits too.

He put away his Weapon, clenched his teeth, and suddenly raised his right arm high.

"Long live Lord Jiang!"

"I firmly support Jiang Cheng as Lord!"

"Anyone who dares oppose him is my enemy!"

Eyes reddened, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

The way he was carrying on, he looked like Brother Cheng's number one braindead fanboy.

"Lord Jiang Cheng, ten thousand years and ten thousand more, the eternal Lord of the Celestial Rainbow Territory!"

Everyone almost spat on the spot.

Bro, aren't you being a bit too real here?

This flip in attitude was way too extreme.

Meanwhile, the man at the center of everyone's attention, Sect Leader Jiang, had already begun Cultivation inside that Ice Eye.

A Lord Level Ice Eye was indeed far beyond that previous Realm Master Level one.

Right now, what he was connecting to was no longer just a trace of light at the very end of the Origin, but an actual tendril of the Origin Source.

Compared to before, this time he was basically facing the Origin directly.

Under these conditions, his Speed of comprehending Rules had reached at least five hundred times that of the outside world.

No wonder this True Ice Realm was crawling with Emperor Realm experts.

Think about how, over in the Immortal Realm, people had to huff and puff through Cultivation all the way to Quasi-Emperor just to barely make contact with the Heart of Rule.

And the Rule aura inside the Heart of Rule, compared to the Origin, was like fireflies against the bright moon—utterly dwarfed.

People in the Ice Realm cultivated day in and day out directly under the baptism of the Origin; they'd have to work hard to not get strong.

Unfortunately, this Speed still wasn't enough to satisfy Brother Cheng.

So weak!

How could it possibly compare to using Immortal Yuan Points for upgrades?

And this is all the treatment a dignified Lord gets?

He didn't even stop to think how terrifying a 500-fold comprehension Speed actually was.

At this rate, if he cultivated for a few tens of billions of years, his Realm would be unimaginable.

Brother Cheng was clearly not someone who could patiently cultivate for tens of billions of years.

Forget tens of billions of years, even a closed-door Cultivation of a few hundred years was too much for him.

So a few minutes later, he once again tossed the whole thing aside and flew out of that pit.

This scene made the corner of Gong Qing's mouth twitch.

Big shot, you can't be serious.

You don't want to do it again?

Please don't…

This place is a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land others would kill for, seriously!

The others hadn't even reacted yet.

Seeing him leave the Ice Eye, the Origin Aura that had just been elevated reverted back, and they immediately panicked.

"Lord!"

"Lord Jiang, why did you come out?"

The two Vice Lords, Geng River and Mo Nian, rushed over in a fluster.

Lang Zhi and Yan Zun also hurriedly trotted up to fawn over him.

"Lord Jiang, please stay inside and rest properly."

"Yes, yes, please hurry and keep cultivating!"

They'd already switched how they addressed him; now there was no doubt that Jiang Cheng was the Lord of the Celestial Rainbow Territory.

"Too stuffy, boring."

Stuffy?

There's such a problem too?

This would never do!

The four Vice Lords and the group of Elders all got anxious.

"Lord Jiang, you can't do this!"

"Those who obtain the Lord's Mark have a sacred duty to activate the Ice Eye!"

"Exactly, exactly, please just stay inside at ease, it's such a great Grotto Heaven Blessed Land—others would fight to the death for it, we're all so envious…"

If it were anyone else, they'd already be cursing them out.

We make you Lord, and you're supposed to be grateful and honored.

And you still dare to pick and choose?

But Sect Leader Jiang had just casually pulled out Five-Colored Origin; now the question was whether this Ice Eye was even worthy of him.

They could only use this kind of coaxing, placating tone.

But Brother Cheng wasn't some three-year-old kid; he wasn't that easy to fool.

"Sacred duty?"

"Envious?"

He skillfully forced the Lord's Mark out of his body, then tossed it back into the air above the Ice Eye.

"I didn't come here to be a Lord."

"Since you're so envious, you guys can be Lord yourselves. I don't think much of it anyway."

With that, he patted his butt as if to dust it off and got ready to leave.

This time, everyone really panicked.

He was serious!

"Don't, Lord Jiang!"

"You mustn't leave…" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Being Lord is great, how can you just quit?"

"Your position as Lord has already been recognized by all of us; you've already passed the test!"

"That's right, you being Lord is the will of the people…"

Brother Cheng almost burst out laughing as he listened.

Recognized?

Do I need your recognition?

"The will of the people? Weren't you all just strongly opposed a moment ago?"

"Now that I'm not being Lord, isn't that giving you exactly what you wanted?"

"As for that test of yours, I was just playing around. I've tried it now, I'm out, I'm out…"
