Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 607: Enhancing the Profound Pattern

After the Palace Masters left, the Wise Palace was assigned four Protectors and dozens of Stewards, along with the necessary guards.

This counted as Brother Cheng's direct forces at the moment.

"Greetings, Great Sage!"

Everyone saluted in unison.

A middle-aged man led the way, stepping forward: "I am Ren Hong, appointed as the chief Great Guardian of the Wise Palace by the Great Hall Master!"

"Please give orders, Great Sage!"

Give orders?

Give what orders?

Brother Cheng had no intention of directing these people, considering he had had dozens of Quasi-Emperor subordinates under his command in the past.

Now with these subordinates, he had little interest in leading them to accomplish big things.

So he waved his hand: "However you handled daily affairs before, just continue as usual now."

Everyone was taken aback; they had thought the Great Sage, as a new official, would establish his authority first.

Unexpectedly, he was so casual and relaxed about it.

Ren Hong, however, felt slightly relieved.

He was aware that this Sage Jiang had previously only reached the Ninth Layer of the Mortal Profound Realm.

If it hadn't been for his superb talent and the Great Hall Master's direct orders, he wouldn't have submitted to such a young figure.

In his view, such an inexperienced and powerless young person couldn't possibly lead as a Palace Master.

If he were to give orders arbitrarily, it could likely result in a series of troubles.

Now that Brother Cheng wasn't managing anything, this suited him perfectly.

After they left, Cang Ling couldn't help but mock him.

"You're really cunning, not only infiltrating the headquarters of the Xuan Race but also gaining such a high position."

"I wonder what they'll think when they find out the truth in the future."

Brother Cheng smiled slightly: "They invited me so ardently; I couldn't just ignore them."

"If one day your identity is truly exposed, how will you deal with them?"

"I'm not planning to deal with them."

Brother Cheng spread his hands helplessly: "We know the good and the bad. This counts as owing them a favor."

He opened the System Mall, initially intending to exchange some higher-tier Profound Origin Fruit to enhance his Realm.

But after thinking about it, if he advanced to the Profound Grotto Realm or beyond, whether or not he could still use the Mall's Profound Patterns would be unknown.

Just like the Main Rule, it could only be comprehended upon ascending to the Saint Tier.

And the Rule Brand could only be obtained when ascending to Quasi-Emperor.

I'd hate it if the Mall's Profound Patterns all turned gray and unusable afterward.

The Descent Spirit Platform there still needed several days to restore the Profound Spirit, so he couldn't go there for the time being.

So he opened the Secret Void Holy Sand, deciding to improve his Profound Pattern.

The Profound Essence is equivalent to one's own miniature Heart of Rule, while the Profound Pattern determines the attribute of this Heart of Rule.

In the Immortal Realm, the enhancement of Power of Rules primarily relies on elusive enlightenment.

In the Profound Realm here, enhancing the tier of Profound Pattern essentially equates to enhancing the Power of Rules.

And Profound Patterns can be improved not only through enlightenment and cultivation but also directly by refining Secret Void Holy Sand. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

According to the Mall's description, each grain of Secret Void Holy Sand possesses incredible power.

Brother Cheng certainly wouldn't slowly contemplate.

After checking out the treasure's price, the highest Ninth-grade Secret Void Holy Sand was similar to the Ninth-grade Immortal Pill in the Immortal Realm.

With the best principle in mind, he first exchanged for 10 pieces of Secret Void Holy Sand.

Soon, 10 grains emitting a faint purple glow and containing extremely terrifying power appeared in the palm of his hand.

This left Sage Jiang a bit stunned.

"Darn it, just one grain per piece?"

"The price for one grain is equivalent to one Ninth-grade Immortal Pill?"

He had thought one piece of Secret Void Holy Sand would contain at least a small pile.

"Isn't this a rip-off?"

If others heard these words, they'd probably be angered to death.

On the first layer of the Ruins Realm, finding even Sixth-grade Holy Sand is considered quite fortunate.

Similar to Immortal Pills, treasures that are one grade higher are vastly superior in both value and effect.

Ninth-grade Secret Void Holy Sand, the Great Hall Masters have never seen one in their lifetime.

According to the Supreme Profound Divine Refining Scripture's guidance, Brother Cheng began refining the sand in his palm.

Originally thinking the process would be rapid, like gulping down 10 Immortal Pills, right?

However, this time it was a hundred times slower than he anticipated.

The first grain of Holy Sand took a full quarter hour...

Well, actually, it was quite short, but for Brother Cheng, it was exceptionally lengthy.

The effect was still very pronounced.

The Profound Pattern Realm has a total of seven layers.

Just one grain of sand elevated his Death's Profound Pattern from the First Layer to the Second Layer.

This means that at the Extreme Profound Realm, it reached the Profound Power enlightenment level of the Profound Grotto Realm.

This speed was once again at an astonishing level.

For other cultivators, even with Ninth-grade Holy Sand, it would be impossible to be this fast.

The reason is simple: their Profound Pattern quality isn't good, and the absorption effect and refining speed of the Holy Sand would be several times inferior.

Nonetheless, Sect Leader Jiang didn't think much of it.

This guy cultivated always having exceptional luck, he'd long been accustomed to it.

Afterward, as he pressed on and absorbed 5 more grains, the Death's Profound Pattern reached the Third Layer.

By this time, a layer of gray mist already rippled across the Death's Profound Pattern, becoming faintly discernible.

The surging Death Qi almost spilled out.

After 27 grains, the death power reached the Fourth Layer, and the gray mist on the Profound Pattern formed a thin layer of virtual mist on the surface of his body.

After 123 grains, the death power reached the Fifth Layer, this Profound Pattern Realm was already comparable to the Great Hall Master level.

Though currently, his Profound Pill remained in the Extreme Profound Realm, it couldn't exert that Celestial Profound Realm's might.

At this moment, his Death's Profound Pattern broke through the mist, shining brightly as if nothing could conceal its brilliance.

Even though he cultivated in a secluded Quiet Chamber, those guards and stewards outside showed expressions of fear or confusion.

The death power was so overwhelming, even though they were separated by the Quiet Chamber, they still felt it.

However, after Brother Cheng spent several days refining a total of 626 grains of Holy Sand, advancing death power to the Sixth Layer, their discomfort finally dissipated.

At this time, the Death's Profound Pattern reached a state of returning to simplicity.

Clearly, the death power became stronger, but all the gray mist had retracted, the Profound Pattern had concealed all its aura, appearing dull and unimpressive.

Now even if the Great Hall Master came, they couldn't perceive the strength of his Profound Pattern power.

Brother Cheng paused here.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue to the Seventh Layer, but as calculated, the Seventh Layer would require at least over 3000 grains of Holy Sand.

Not only would it require too much merit, but the time would be too long.

After checking the time, the Descent Spirit Platform had also replenished, he decided to go and obtain the next type of Profound Pattern power first.

Meanwhile, Lei Gao was in his own hall furiously smashing things.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it, why, why?"

Though last time Brother Cheng only threw him out without beating him, his injuries had only barely healed today.

This despite the good treatment conditions from the Wood Spirit Divine Hall.

"Not only did he survive, but he even became some Great Sage?"

"Are the Palace Masters all insane?"

"Unforgivable, I want to kill him!"

"Shut up!"

The Wood Spirit Hall Master walked in with a gloomy face.
