Free Web NovelChapter 970: Chapter 970: Lord of the Ice Realm
Lord of the Ice Realm?
This form of address stunned not just Yun Suo, Feng Lin, Ji Linghan and the others— even Brother Cheng himself was confused.
He did used to have the title "Lord of the Demon Realm."
But compared to the Ice Realm, the Demon Realm’s rank was lower by who knows how many levels.
The strongest in the Demon Realm were just beings like Cyan Dragon and Ice Phoenix at Emperor Realm Second Layer.
While in the Ice Realm, Emperor Realm Second Layer was nothing but cannon fodder.
At present, there were still four Emperor Realm Ninth Layers remaining.
And more than a hundred Emperor Realm Eighth Layers.
Without cheating, Brother Cheng couldn’t beat a single one of these people.
He did enjoy the prestige, but where did this "Lord of the Ice Realm" even come from?
"Celestial Venerable, what are you...?"
Feng Lin, Zuo Mo and the others completely couldn’t understand.
"How could you go this far!"
In their hearts, Ice Extreme Saint Venerable was an existence supreme and untouchable.
Not to mention, isn’t your old self a carefree wanderer, joining no force and submitting to no one?
Someone like that actually took the initiative to bow to another?
This was a bit too much for them to accept; they even felt a kind of collapse inside.
Facing everyone’s shock-filled and confused gazes, Ice Extreme Saint Venerable smiled calmly.
"Jiang Cheng has gained the recognition of the Ice Origin."
"He is the future Ice God."
"In the future, all beings who cultivate the Ice Rule will fall under his command; you and I are no exception."
"I’m just paying my respects to the Ice God ahead of time!"
In fact, he even felt quite honored in his heart.
If this were the Ancient Era, how would he ever be qualified to come into contact with a Great Power who had been recognized by an Origin?
Those kinds of figures absolutely stood at the very peak even in the Primordial Immortal Realm!
He was several levels beneath them and fundamentally unworthy to even speak to one.
Jiang Cheng just hadn’t grown up yet at the moment, but he already possessed the qualifications to reach that level, and that qualification was the hardest thing to obtain.
Getting on his good side early was the best deal possible.
Besides, if he truly became the Ice God in the future and mastered the Ice Origin, then he, Ice Extreme, would be able to receive benefits by following him.
For example... more Power of Origin.
That kind of benefit, he absolutely couldn’t turn down.
As for being a carefree wanderer, he’d already tossed that to the back of his mind at this moment; what really mattered was what would help him later.
With that explanation, everyone finally understood.
Though they still felt it was too unbelievable.
Especially Venerable Yun Suo and the others, who were secretly grumbling in their hearts.
Ice God?
This lazy, show-off brat—does he look like he has even a bit of "future God" vibes?
But since Ice Extreme Saint Venerable himself had certified it, what else was there to say?
Thus, the remaining four Ninth-grade Venerables of Ice Origin Valley and the 157 Emperor Realm Eighth Layers all bent at the waist and bowed their heads.
"We pay our respects to the Lord of the Ice Realm!"
"Greetings, Lord of the Ice Realm!" freewёbnoνel.com
As they bowed, Jiang Cheng’s system panel saw his Reputation Value soar rapidly.
This time, it wasn’t some momentary recognition or admiration, nor a brief shock.
It was heartfelt submission!
In the Reputation Value function, submission was the most valuable state.
And right now, those submitting to him were a group of Emperor Realm Eighth and Ninth Layers, whose Realms were very high to begin with.
The Reputation Value they brought was naturally immense.
With just this single bow, he directly raked in 150 million Immortal Yuan Points, more than he’d gotten from all his previous busywork combined.
Ji Linghan, Zhongli Que and the others, however, were quite calm about this scene.
In their eyes, nothing Brother Cheng did was worth being surprised over anymore anyway.
But in Gong Qing’s eyes, it was another story entirely.
The always-chaotic Jiang Cheng... had actually become Lord of the Ice Realm?
The legendary Ice Extreme Saint Venerable had voluntarily submitted to him?
This was way too bizarre, wasn’t it?
When she first chose to follow Brother Cheng, she truly never imagined even in her dreams that this man would climb to the summit of the Ice Realm.
Originally, Brother Cheng hadn’t had any particular plans for the Ice Realm.
He didn’t want to manage that many people either.
But watching his Reputation Value shoot up like crazy, he really couldn’t resist!
So, he quickly adapted to his new identity.
"Ahem, don’t worry! Follow your brother, and you’ll never be shortchanged!"
These words didn’t sound classy at all, far less grand than all those magnificent prospects he’d promised when recruiting for the Ice Immortal Sect back then.
But the point was, these words were spoken by the future Ice God.
The experts in front of him might be unwilling to join any Sect, but could they just give up cultivating the Ice Rule?
So everyone responded with cheers.
They were downright fanatical.
Only after a long while did everyone finally calm down.
"I wonder what kind of Sect or organization you plan to establish?" Ice Extreme Saint Venerable asked probingly.
"Sect?"
"Organization?"
Brother Cheng thought to himself: I already tossed Feixian Sect to Ji Linghan to run; do I look like someone interested in managing an even bigger force?
He’d always refused to take back the Sect Leader position of Feixian Sect.
So much so that they were still maintaining the bizarre situation of having two Sect Leaders in one Sect.
If he formed another Sect here in the Ice Realm, wouldn’t he be pestered to death every day?
"No need for that. As long as you maintain respect in your hearts and know that I’m the Lord of the Ice Realm, that’s enough."
"Everyone will stay the same as they were before."
"I don’t want to bind anyone with Sect rules or Heavenly laws either. Isn’t that boring?"
Everyone looked at one another; this wasn’t quite what they had expected.
They had thought Jiang Cheng would be like Celestial Venerable Ming Jue, intending to unify all the forces of the Ice Realm and ambitiously go do some huge undertaking.
You had to know, his conditions were countless times better than Ming Jue’s.
Even Ice Extreme Saint Venerable was stepping out in support; with one call, he’d be answered by all, right?
Yet he didn’t want to do anything?
However, after a brief moment of astonishment, everyone actually became delighted.
All of them had the mentality of Loose Cultivators and were fundamentally resistant to joining any Sect.
"Hahaha, the Lord of the Ice Realm’s breadth of mind truly surpasses that of ordinary people!"
"Not forcing with Sect rules, but attracting with personal charm—worthy of being the future Ice God!"
"Compared to you, Ming Jue immediately falls into the lower tier!"
"What a difference in vision!"
"Admire, admire!"
Their admiration this time was sincere.
And it added another bit of Reputation Value for Brother Cheng.
Getting flattered out of nowhere, Brother Cheng was also somewhat caught off guard; he was just too lazy to bother, he hadn’t thought that far.
"Hahaha, you flatter me, you flatter me."
Ice Extreme Saint Venerable was also quite gratified.
"Actually, once the Three Thousand Realms merge in the future and the Primordial Immortal Realm fully takes shape, there will no longer be any distinction of True Realms."
"At that time, everywhere will be within the scope of the Three Thousand Origins and the Heavenly Dao’s control. It’ll be the same no matter where we are, and we won’t be confined to any single Realm."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, people finally began to slowly feel their way over from outside.
Ice Extreme and Yun Suo’s brows twitched, then relaxed again.
"I thought those three Realms of Yin, Yang, and Fire had arrived so quickly; turns out it’s people from the Ice Palace."
"Such a big event does indeed need to be explained to them."
"Mm, at the very least we need to let all living beings in the Ice Realm understand what happened."
Ice Extreme Saint Venerable was just about to personally head out when Brother Cheng grinned.
He still remembered that bet the Ice Palace had made with him last time.
After losing, they were supposed to call him ’senior’ upon seeing him.
"Let me handle this!"
With that, he took Gong Qing and flew out.
