Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: The Ten Celestial Emperors

Sect Leader Jiang certainly doesn’t hope for this to be the End of the Dharma Era.

After all, within his perception range, he hasn’t seen any familiar faces from the past.

He doesn’t want his old acquaintances to be in trouble.

Moreover, the realm here is as low as a newbie village, showing off here isn’t satisfying.

His divine thought eventually locked onto a place with the most people.

There, it seemed a grand ceremony was taking place.

He flashed to the scene and found everyone gathered around a huge white floating platform.

The platform hung suspended in midair, like an airborne Immortal City.

Above the platform, there were shadowy silhouettes.

Everyone was craning their necks, looking upwards uniformly as if awaiting some result.

Brother Cheng couldn’t help but look curiously.

He saw a young man inside a special Immortal Array, undergoing some unknown assessment.

Moments later, three layers of misty blue-green halos lit up on the platform.

The crowd below, who had been holding their breath, began to chat away.

"Zuo Ming turns out to be only Tier Three Lower Celestial Heart?"

"He’s a renowned genius, breaking into the Emperor Realm in just twenty million years!"

"Isn’t this too absurd?"

"There’s nothing that can be done; it only shows his Heart of Seeking the Dao isn’t strong, unrelated to his talent."

"What a pity, he probably doesn’t have much hope for the rest of his life."

Their discussion left Brother Cheng bewildered.

What Celestial Heart?

He’d only heard of the Daoist Heart; never heard of any Celestial Heart before.

Moreover, there was no tier test for a Daoist Heart before.

Their tone seems to imply it’s of great importance.

Could this be a new project of the ’End of Dharma Era’?

He’s never heard of it, could he have fallen behind?

He casually patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, "Brother, what is this test about? What’s Tier Three Lower Celestial Heart mean?"

This thing reminded him of the scene when he obtained the Profound Essence years ago.

Back then, the Profound Essence too was graded as A-class, B-class, representing quality levels.

The person questioned was taken aback, "No way, you don’t even know this?"

But immediately after, he found he couldn’t see through Jiang Cheng’s realm, and jumped in fright.

"Ah, turns out to be a senior Upper Immortal, senior is really joking."

Brother Cheng chuckled with a humble gesture, "No need for formality, so what exactly is this Celestial Heart test?"

Seeing that he seemed genuinely uninformed, the person was extremely puzzled, perhaps this senior has been in seclusion for countless years?

But doesn’t look like an old fossil.

"The so-called Celestial Heart is the Heart of the Heavenly Dao, representing the degree of recognition by the Heavenly Dao for a person."

"The higher the degree of recognition, the higher the quality and tier of the Celestial Heart."

Brother Cheng listened in astonishment; doesn’t this mean whoever is more devoted to the Heavenly Dao?

This thing can actually be tested?

"Then how does one enhance the Celestial Heart Tier?"

The person answered, "Primarily depends on how firm the Heart of Seeking the Dao is, and the level of the Daoist Heart itself."

"Zuo Ming’s Tier Three Lower, indicates he has a Tier Three quality Daoist Heart, which is considered exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, his Heart of Seeking the Dao is only lower blue."

"Lower tier is practically deemed as one abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, no hope for this life."

While they talked, several more results came out from above.

Most others had Tier Two Daoist Heart, not as good as Zuo Ming before.

However, their Celestial Heart quality surpassed the lower tier; one even reached upper blue, stirring the crowd. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Jiang Cheng scrutinized carefully.

That person’s cultivation talent back then would be considered ordinary and average.

Instead, the previous Zuo Ming was even considered a top genius in the True Ice Realm.

The world has indeed changed, he can’t make sense of it.

He asked, "Does having a high tier Celestial Heart serve any purpose?"

The person quickly replied, "Of course, reaching Tier Three Upper provides a chance to be taken outside."

"There’s still an outside?"

"Yes, outside is the real Primordial Immortal Realm, we are the abandoned ones."

"What..."

Brother Cheng was completely stunned.

Under this person’s science lesson, he gradually understood the current situation.

Back then, three thousand origins gathered, the Primordial Immortal Realm fully formed, followed by a long period of chaos.

Until the emergence of ten Children of the Celestial Dao.

They held Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, quelling countless conflicts and wars.

Many Great Powers either surrendered or were killed, sealed, or expelled...

Upon hearing about these ten, Jiang Cheng immediately understood.

Aren’t they the ten lucky ones the Immortal Mother mentioned, who were bestowed Supreme Treasures?

Those ten have developed to this extent?

The person continued, "Eventually, the Primordial Immortal Realm gradually settled, welcoming a new situation."

"The ten Children of the Celestial Dao established the Celestial Palace, ruling the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, claiming themselves as the Ten Celestial Emperors!"

Upon hearing the term Celestial Palace, Brother Cheng’s face twisted incredulously, almost doubting if he transmigrated to another world.

He curiously asked, "Then what? Did they divide into Thirty-Three Heavens?"

"What Thirty-Three Heavens?"

"Nothing, so what’s the situation now of being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao?"

The person answered, "For each Celestial Domain, the Celestial Palace carved out an Abandonment Zone."

"All those whose Heart of Seeking the Dao isn’t firm, regardless of innate talent and cultivation level, are all placed in this Abandonment Zone."

"To leave, one must enhance their Celestial Heart Tier."

This...

Isn’t this forcing everyone to maintain loyalty to the Heavenly Dao?

Immortal Mother, your move back then indeed seems quite effective!

The effect is simply extraordinary.

"Then you must resent the Ten Celestial Emperors, right? If not for them, you could normally live outside; you wouldn’t be abandoned here."

Upon his words, several nearby faces changed dramatically.

An immediate vacancy formed nearby.

The person previously talking to him, was also frightened, continuously shaking his head and retreating.

"You, stop talking nonsense!"

"The Ten Celestial Emperors brought overdue peace to the Primordial Immortal Realm."

"Now the Primordial Immortal Realm is orderly, harmonious, we can’t adore them enough, how could we resent them?"

Then, he stumbled into the crowd, refusing to talk to Jiang Cheng further.

Meanwhile, from afar, many now frowned and scrutinized Sect Leader Jiang, whispering and gesturing about him.

Seemingly his words were too rebellious, making him an outlier in the crowd.

Fortunately, soon after, the focus shifted back to the platform above.

"Qiu Yuxuan!"

"She’s taking the test too!"

"Finally waiting for this moment!"

"An unparalleled genius in a million years!"

"Rumored to originate from a long-time tribe known as the White Profound Race, the 124th generation Saintess."

"Though a first for hearing this tribe, Saintess title sounds formidable!"

"Indeed..."

Upon hearing the three words ’White Profound Race’, Brother Cheng finally perked up.
