Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 609: The Divine Hall Like Facing a Great Enemy

After successfully attaching the spirit this time, Jiang Cheng felt completely assured.

His previous decision was correct. As long as he had enough time and patience in the future, he could eventually upgrade all 1,000 profound patterns to Purple Gold quality.

The only problem he had now was that he didn't have enough Merit Points.

Just exchanging all 1,000 profound patterns would cost nearly 100 billion Merit Points.

Moreover, the Secret Void Holy Sand required for each discipline was no small number.

He was now incredibly grateful that before falling into the Ruins Realm, he had cleared out the Celestial Sword Palace and also harvested a significant amount from the sealing Great Array outside the Ruins Cave between the Immortal and Demon Realms.

After converting this immense amount of treasures into Merit, it could support him in exchanging all the profound patterns, while also upgrading some of them to the Sixth Layer.

As soon as he emerged from the Descent Spirit Platform, the Great Hall Master personally approached to greet him warmly.

This kind attitude moved everyone present deeply.

"It seems like your Power of Death hasn't improved much."

Since Brother Cheng's Death's Profound Pattern had returned to its original state at the Sixth Layer, the Great Hall Master could not sense the aura of the Power of Death at all.

"Why do I feel that you seem to have some mixed powers?"

This made her inexplicably worried.

"Won't you encounter any issues attaching the spirit this way? If you can't, you shouldn't come anymore."

Brother Cheng quickly explained, "This is a normal phenomenon; with the Purple Gold's Profound Pattern, the spirit attachment will gradually hide, but the power becomes stronger."

After speaking, he released a slight hint of the aura belonging to the Second Layer of the Power of Death.

Upon seeing this, the Palace Masters were instantly astonished.

"My heavens, this has already surpassed the limits of the Extreme Profound Realm!"

"Is this the result of multiple spirit attachments? The enhancement is too great!"

"The Purple Gold's Profound Pattern is indeed miraculous!"

Brother Cheng graciously accepted this wave of Shock Value, urgently needing Merit Points even if they were small. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The Great Hall Master was relieved and advised with a smile, "If you encounter problems in cultivation, be sure to consult with me. Don't rush ahead on your own!"

Brother Cheng had no choice but to nod, "Yes!"

"Is the Guardian Steward arranged by the Wise Palace obedient?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Are you used to life in the Divine Hall? If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me..."

"Uh-huh..."

Brother Cheng felt as if he suddenly had a mother, and while being cared for felt good, his head was starting to get tired from all the nodding.

When he returned to the Wise Palace, someone else also returned to the Divine Hall.

The team of guards who had previously encountered him twice and had their Profound Armor stripped and resources stolen returned to the "frontline" Fallen Immortal Mountain.

As the leader, the female steward Lu Yunlin hurried back to the Divine Hall to report the situation.

The Divine Hall took this matter very seriously.

"Is there really only one Otherworldly Evil Demon?"

"Has he also comprehended the Profound Essence?"

The Otherworldly Evil Demons who could cultivate the Profound Essence in the past had all moved to the upper layers, and now another appeared, which was considered a resurgence in their eyes.

Facing the inquiries from the Palace Masters, Lu Yunlin was a bit nervous.

As a steward, it was her first time speaking directly with the Great Hall Master.

"Yes, this person's power is extremely strong, even several Sub-Pavilion Masters are not his match in a single move!"

"Are you certain?"

The Palace Masters and Protectors all displayed expressions of shock.

In fact, several days earlier they had received news from the White Wall Division of an attack, but at the time they assumed it was an ordinary "Otherworldly Evil Demon."

Immortal Kings and Demon Kings from the Immortal Realm, due to being unable to use the Profound Power and the rules in this place, actually had their combat power reduced significantly.

They were only comparable to the Earth Profound Realm here.

And a single person was not a threat.

However, from Lu Yunlin's firsthand description, it seemed to be more severe than initially assumed.

"The Sub-Pavilion Masters are already at the Ninth Layer of the Earth Profound Realm, just a step away from the Celestial Profound Realm!"

The Water Spirit Hall Master calmly analyzed, "Three Sub-Pavilion Masters, fifteen stewards, and forty Guardians above the Fifth Layer of the Mingxuan Realm, were all defeated in the blink of an eye."

"This prowess must have reached the Early-stage Quasi-Emperor of the Otherworld over there, right?"

The War Spirit Hall Master shook his head, "No, he should be much stronger than an Early-stage Quasi-Emperor."

"The Early-stage Quasi-Emperors from over there are heavily suppressed in our Profound Realm. They can defeat three Sub-Pavilion Masters but cannot achieve such an effortless crush."

"This person must at least be at the Late-stage Quasi-Emperor from that side."

Everyone frowned in unison, even the Wood Spirit Hall Master, who had a grudge against Brother Cheng, wore a serious expression.

Late-stage Quasi-Emperors from the Immortal Realm weren't easily dealt with even by those in the Celestial Profound Realm meeting them head-on.

Especially since the opponent had successfully obtained the Profound Essence.

Once cultivation began, the first layer could very well see bloodshed and chaos again.

"It seems we cannot take this matter lightly."

"Indeed, if this person roams within our White Profound Race's territory and manages to cultivate the Profound Power, he will become a major threat!"

"We must eliminate him, no trace can be left behind!"

They did not connect Sage Jiang and the "Otherworldly Evil Demon" as one.

On one hand, Lu Yunlin didn't have images from the time and could only provide a vague description of appearance.

Besides being handsome, there were no standout features.

Moreover, that person only comprehended the Profound Essence a few days ago, whereas Sage Jiang had already broken through from the Mortal Profound Ninth Layer to the Extreme Profound Realm.

Obviously not the same person.

As the Palace Masters discussed animatedly, the Great Hall Master suddenly thought of something.

She asked Lu Yunlin in surprise, "In your two encounters with him, besides having some portable items stolen, none of you were killed?"

"No... indeed not."

Historically, when Otherworldly Evil Demons encountered people from the Xuan Race, it generally resulted in bloody battles deciding life and death.

Lu Yunlin, stripped of her Profound Armor and hung upside down for a day, naturally harbored great resentment towards Brother Cheng.

But she also had to admit, this person was comparatively more "merciful" than other Otherworldly Evil Demons.

If it had been another Otherworldly Evil Demon, she wouldn't have survived to report back.

"Not only were none killed, there were no serious injuries either," she added.

This...

The Palace Masters were taken aback.

"This Otherworldly Evil Demon's style is somewhat different."

"Could it be that he holds no hostility towards our White Profound Race?"

"Upon reflection, it seems both times we attacked him first, so it's reasonable for him to retaliate."

"Shall we just ignore his existence?"

The Great Hall Master shook her head, "No!"

"Although this person hasn't shown overt hostility, he is not of our race after all."

"Moreover, his act of stealing Profound Armor and mingling in the Soul Gathering Pool isn't particularly friendly."

"In any case, he must be found first!"

She glanced around at everyone present, giving the order, "Wood Spirit Hall Master, Thunder Spirit Hall Master, War Spirit Hall Master, this time it will be up to you three to make a trip."

Among the Palace Masters, they were among the strongest, all in the Celestial Profound Realm.

Dispatching three at once showed the seriousness of the Divine Hall in this matter.

"Try to avoid a battle with him. If you can persuade him to leave our White Profound Race's territory, that would be ideal."

"Yes!"

The three stood up to receive their orders, then departed with their respective Guardian Stewards.

After the meeting, the Great Hall Master couldn't help but rub her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

There were few Late-stage Quasi-Emperors among the Otherworldly Evil Demons in the past, but each had caused great disasters, leaving a deep impression on her.

"Ah, another eventful time is upon us!"

"Fortunately, our race has gained a peerless genius capable of changing the fate."

Thinking of Sage Jiang, she couldn't help but show a gratified smile.
