Chapter 1245 - 1245: Divine Soul Advancement

Seeing that he wasn't falling for it, Qiu Yuxuan had to try another approach.

"Then let's cancel our previous bet!"

Brother Cheng smiled warmly, "You're such an adorable little dreamer."

He really wanted to say, did you forget that we were born to be rivals?

Last time at the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, you forced me to jump into the sea, and I haven't even settled that score with you.

And now you're seriously bringing up conditions?

Do you really think I'd compensate you?

Oh, right, you haven't 'recovered' the memory of being the Immortal Mother, and don't know your destiny.

Qiu Yuxuan didn't seem to expect him to agree to cancel the bet.

She suddenly switched to sound transmission.

"Then tell me, how did you acquire the Thirteen Layer Sword Dao Realm?"

This was what she cared about the most.

Compared to others, Jiang Cheng's Thirteen Layer Sword Dao puzzled her the most.

Because she clearly knew that at King Jia's Dojo, Jiang Cheng didn't understand what the Sword Dao World was at all.

Yet just eighty thousand years later, he mastered the Thirteen Layer Sword Dao Realm.

How incredible is that?

To make Qiu Yuxuan believe it was achieved through normal enlightenment cultivation would be an insult to her intelligence.

She knew Jiang Cheng must have encountered some special opportunity.

Brother Cheng almost blurted out that he painstakingly died tens of thousands of times to grind it out.

But seeing Sister Qiu's eyes filled with curiosity, he felt he wouldn't be doing justice to her enthusiasm if he didn't prank her at least once.

"Actually, it's because of the Celestial Dao Sword Sea."

"Celestial Dao Sword Sea?"

Qiu Yuxuan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

"You mean there's an opportunity beneath the Celestial Dao Sword Sea?"

Brother Cheng nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, beneath the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, it's amazing, it's practically a sea of Sword Dao; just lying in it can give you automatic Sword Dao enlightenment..."

Even if you're the Immortal Mother Reincarnation, you don't have a system hack.

Once you really get close to that place, you'll realize how perilous this world is, hahaha.

This can be considered revenge for how you targeted me back then.

Due to his overly enthusiastic introduction, Qiu Yuxuan couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.

Such a grand opportunity, if it were anyone else, wouldn't one keep it secret to enjoy alone?

Especially since this guy has always been at odds with her.

"Is it that simple?"

"Absolutely!"

"Why are you suddenly so kind?"

"What kind of talk is that?"

Brother Cheng feigned displeasure: "If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't tell them, but between the two of us, who are we?"

"You're my maid, my opportunity is your opportunity, you improve, I also gain face, my old heart is greatly comforted..."

Even though these words made Qiu Yuxuan repeatedly want to stomp him to death, she indeed developed an interest in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea.

This sister has always loved adventures and is very courageous.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have initially ventured into the one-in-a-billion survival rate Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm.

"But I heard it's extremely dangerous down there, even the Celestial Emperor retreated from it."

Brother Cheng smirked: "If everyone could pass through, would the Sword Dao opportunity still fall to me?"

He glanced up and down at Sister Qiu.

Calmly said: "If you're afraid to go, you can stay above and be your Star Lord, it's quite comfortable too."

Qiu Yuxuan knew he was trying to provoke her.

She also sensed that it was really dangerous down there.

However, the pride in her bones made her finally decide.

If you can make it back alive, why can't I?

Could I be inferior to you?

This Emperor Sword Star event eventually reached its end two months later.

Out of more than two hundred Daoist Venerables participating in the selection, Qiu Yuxuan chose two as her right and left hand, promoting them to Second-class Star Monarchs.

This should have been a highly noticeable affair.

However, the significance of this event itself had diminished by now.

The spotlight was all on Jiang Cheng alone, making anything anyone else did seem ordinary.

The entire Celestial Palace was filled with his legends.

Thirteen Layer Sword Dao Realm, Hidden Emperor, Celestial Pill Department Chief, killed the Son of the Celestial Emperor, destroyed the Celestial Emperor's projection...

Every single one was hard to believe.

Especially after the last two deeds, yet he still lived comfortably.

This made it even more incomprehensible.

Back at the Celestial Pill Department, Brother Cheng met Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger again.

"Bro, you're in the spotlight now!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger complained immediately upon seeing him.

"You made such a big splash, and didn't even take me with you!"

"Didn't we agree that we'd flaunt together, and you'd take the heat when things got tough? You're really letting me down..."

Brother Cheng directly filtered out his shameless words, smiling as he looked at Yan Yi.

"So, did your Celestial Heart Tier improve?"

Yan Yi scoffed, "You should worry about yourself, I still think your Celestial Heart didn't reach the top-grade, and we'll definitely win that bet with the Evil Immortal Realm!"

Jiang Cheng even acted against the Celestial Emperor, so how could he possibly be loyal to the Celestial Palace?

She constantly suspected something was off about this.

Brother Cheng thought to himself, Miss, your intuition is quite accurate.

He's also very curious about how the Celestial Palace will handle the aftermath.

After receiving a ceremonial welcome from everyone at the Celestial Pill Department and hosting a grand return ceremony as the Chief, he finally started 'cultivating'.

Well, it really just meant upgrading skills.

Now, with over 96.5 billion Celestial Dao Points, he could finally upgrade some things that needed upgrading.

Jiang Cheng first opened the Divine Soul panel.

Currently, his Divine Soul was at the level of Purple Soul, already on par with a Supreme Daoist Venerable.

But now he felt it wasn't enough.

After all, he would occasionally still interact with a Divine Monarch.

If a Divine Monarch ever decided to hit him with a Divine Soul Shock, that would be very unpleasant.

After the Purple Soul comes the Holy Soul, consuming 30.5 billion Celestial Dao Points.

If he hadn't gained so much Reputation Value during this Emperor Sword Star journey, who knows when he would have been able to upgrade to this level.

Without hesitation, he clicked upgrade, smoothly advancing to the Holy Soul level, leveling up his Divine Soul to be on par with a Divine Monarch and the Celestial Emperor.

Upon his breakthrough, the entire Celestial Palace understandably experienced a Divine Soul Storm.

"Daoist Saint?"

"Someone advanced to Daoist Saint?"

Above Daoist Venerable is Daoist Saint, most Divine Monarchs in the Celestial Palace are of this realm.

Countless immortals expressed shock and reverence.

"Someone actually achieved such a level?"

King Yi of Shi and other Divine Monarchs raised their heads in astonishment.

"Which Daoist friend broke through to Daoist Saint?"

Back when they broke through to Daoist Saint, they actually took shortcuts.

Daoist Saint's characteristic is the ability to wield some Power of the Celestial Dao in battle, a power other immortals simply cannot reach.

And because they were supported by the Ten Celestial Emperors, they received help from the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure at that most difficult step, essentially exploiting a glitch.

But the person who broke through to 'Daoist Saint' this time clearly did it with their own strength.

This commanded their admiration.
