Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: The Origin of the Immortal Mother

Of course, Jiang Cheng knew that everyone here wished they could kill him a hundred times over.

However, he couldn’t be bothered to expose them.

All the way, accompanied by various Celestial Venerables and Venerables, he amicably and kindly reviewed the welcome formations of the disciples from Chi Yin Palace on each peak.

"Hello everyone!"

"I am Jiang Cheng, Jiang Junsuai, whom you’ve all been eagerly waiting for."

"Oh, I forgot, it seems we just met, didn’t we?"

Recalling how they were cursing him just a moment ago, and now had to cheer for him against their will, even the most thick-skinned disciple couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment.

Brother Cheng was very pleased, giving them a high rating.

"Chi Yin Palace, you’re really enthusiastic, worthy of being a dominator in the Realm of Yin!"

Celestial Venerable Mieyang beside him secretly pondered whether this was a compliment or sarcasm.

"Heh, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you’re too kind!"

"Whether it’s kindness or not, just the fact that you could organize such a grand scene on such short notice shows how organized you are."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you really know your stuff..."

The two exchanged a lot of empty nonsense as they slowly entered the main hall, finally bringing the noisy welcoming ceremony outside to an end.

Inside, only Elders above the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer could attend.

And the discussion between the two parties revolved around the most important matters.

"To be honest, the reason we invited you despite past grievances is to contend for the Heavenly Dao."

Brother Cheng actually had no idea how one even contends for the Heavenly Dao.

So he said nonchalantly, "Could you explain further?"

"The puppet of the Heavenly Dao has summoned thirteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures."

With this first sentence, Celestial Venerable Mieyang left Brother Cheng bewildered.

"What puppet? Could the thirteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures be referring to the Divine Weapons transformed from the Three Great Dragon Valleys and Celestial Sword Mountain?"

The people in the hall looked at each other.

He doesn’t even know this?

Wasn’t this common knowledge in the Primordial Immortal Realm back in the day?

Isn’t he supposed to be the Lord of the Ice Realm? How could he be so oblivious?

Then again, this kid only went to the Ice Realm ten million years ago.

Considering they still needed to use him to strategize for the Heavenly Dao later, they couldn’t withhold basic information, so Celestial Venerable Mieyang patiently started explaining to Jiang Cheng.

"The thirteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures do indeed refer to those treasures you mentioned."

"And the puppet is the Immortal Mother you’re aware of."

Brother Cheng was utterly shocked: "That woman is a puppet?"

He had always assumed the Immortal Mother was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm.

Celestial Venerable Mieyang shook his head: "Puppet is just what we call her. Her true form is the fourteenth Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, named the Pusuo Jade Person."

"Huh? She’s actually a weapon?"

A Venerable in the hall nodded, "That’s right, during the struggle for the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial Immortal Realm, the main battle was against her."

"The Heavenly Dao itself wouldn’t proactively attack living beings."

"But to protect itself, the Heavenly Dao birthed a batch of Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures."

"The reason the Heavenly Dao is hard to seize is because of those fourteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures obstructing us, plus interference from the other true realms competing against each other..."

"Among those fourteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, though the other thirteen each have their own Spirit and unparalleled wonders, the most troublesome is still the Pusuo Jade Person."

With great interest, Brother Cheng asked, "Is she that powerful?"

Another Venerable nodded heavily, "If there were only the other thirteen, we would have already succeeded. After all, Supreme Treasures with a Spirit are, in the end, lifeless objects, no match for the scheming of living beings of various races."

"The presence of the Pusuo Jade Person has increased the difficulty a hundredfold or more."

"The Pusuo Jade Person, among the fourteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, is the only one with full intelligence, and her intelligence surpasses that of all other living beings!"

"Intelligence? She’s smart?"

Brother Cheng felt this didn’t quite match the rigid image of the Immortal Mother.

Celestial Venerable Mieyang spoke solemnly, "Indeed, she is a masterpiece of the Heavenly Dao."

"The Pusuo Jade Person is more cunning than any living being, more adept at scheming, more knowledgeable of worldly affairs, back then, at least eight Great Powers were confirmed to have perished under her plots."

The Great Powers he spoke of were beings even stronger than Celestial Venerables.

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

The Immortal Mother?

Cunning?

He sketchily painted a void image of the Immortal Mother, looking utterly incredulous.

"Are you sure you mean the Immortal Mother? This person? And not someone else?"

Everyone looked at the image, then nodded in unison.

"Yes, it’s her."

"One of the most dangerous beings in the Primordial Immortal Realm back then!"

"If she targets you, you’ll die without even knowing how."

Hiss!

Sect Leader Jiang felt like this world had gone mad.

"Why in my impression was the Immortal Mother dumb and silly?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He even once suspected whether the Immortal Mother was a robot without emotions.

"That’s because the Heavenly Dao is currently very weak."

Celestial Venerable Mieyang said blandly, "The strength of the Pusuo Jade Person depends on the strength of the Heavenly Dao itself."

"There are currently 2,996 Origins yet to return, so the Heavenly Dao is much weaker than it used to be."

"Because of this, these Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures are far from their peak powers, which is why we Celestial Venerables have this opportunity to strategize."

In the former Primordial Immortal Realm, this realm known as Celestial Venerable didn’t even have the capability to contend for the Heavenly Dao.

They wouldn’t even have the qualifications to enter the competition.

Back then, it was the even stronger powerhouses who contended for the Heavenly Dao.

"The Immortal Mother you encountered was during a time when not a single Origin had arrived, so she was in her weakest state, with her intelligence being at its lowest as well."

Oh, so that’s how it is!

Jiang Cheng suddenly understood.

No wonder last time, when communicating with the Heavenly Dao in the Ice Realm, he felt inexplicably that the Immortal Mother had become much more humanized.

Whoah, thinking carefully, if all the Origins from the Three Thousand Realms arrived, what would she become?

"The Pusuo Jade Person is a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, she inherently possesses a portion of the Power of the Celestial Dao."

"And because of her existence, the other thirteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures have been coordinated."

"That’s why we’ve been unable to break through recently."

This is the difficulty faced recently by the Three Great Realms of Yin, Yang, and Fire.

Though having the Heavenly Dao seemed to have loosened everyone’s Realm, allowing further breakthroughs.

But the Heavenly Dao had also grown stronger, as had the power of the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures.

If this drags on, with other true Realms continually arriving and Origins gradually increasing in number, strengthening the Heavenly Dao, then the fourteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures will become even stronger.

By then, the hope of seizing the Heavenly Dao becomes all the more remote.

"Are the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures that powerful?"

Brother Cheng, hearing them describe them, thought those Supreme Treasures had never been seized by anyone.

Just their own innate power was earth-shattering.

If these Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures fell into someone’s hands, wouldn’t they become invincible?

"Indeed, the power of the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure doesn’t belong to any particular rules."

"The power they exert is the mysterious and unpredictable Power of the Celestial Dao."

"There’s no way to resist it, no way to break it!"

During the Ancient Era in the Primordial Immortal Realm, those Great Powers actually had ways to confront the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures.

But such confidential information was scarce even among themselves, and they certainly wouldn’t reveal it to an enemy Sect Leader like Jiang Cheng.
