Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Fame Spreads Across the Four Realms
The flattery from everyone made Brother Cheng beam with joy.
Brother’s prestige was not only preserved but also improved, and his image in everyone’s eyes became even more heroic and wise.
What is skill?
What is operation?
He’s not called King Bi for nothing.
After the long ceremony of praise ended, Ji Linghan and the others collected the spoils and handed them over to Warehouse Manager Sect Leader Jiang again.
And Jiang Cheng was generous.
He directly chose a Tier Five True Artifact Armor from the spoils and rewarded Ji Linghan.
Additionally, he chose three Tier Four artifacts and rewarded them to Zhongli Qian, Qiu Ran, and Jiang Jiayi.
No choice, the weapons from the Realm of Yin are all with Yin Attribute Rule, and they can’t use them.
Having obtained the sword of Venerable Qi Yan, Brother Cheng gave the previous Cold Slayer Ice Sword to Ji Linghan.
Sister Han was overjoyed because this was the sword that Sect Leader Jiang just used in battle!
The significance was completely different now!
Sister held it, almost like holding Jiang Cheng’s incarnation, seemingly treating it as a token of affection.
She didn’t know Brother recently changed weapons as casually as changing clothes.
The others watched this scene with envy, but they couldn’t say anything.
Who could compare to someone from the same sect?
"By the way, Sect Leader Jiang, I just heard Seniors Han Wen and Duan Yue say... Are you the Lord of the Ice Realm?"
"What kind of status does the Lord of the Ice Realm have?"
This question had long been on everyone’s mind.
They had a guess in their hearts but felt that guess was too absurd.
Duan Yue spoke sternly, "Did you all not understand earlier? The Lord of the Ice Realm is the owner of the entire True Ice Realm. All within the Ice Realm, whether Ice Extreme Saint Venerable or under the Ice Palace, must follow his orders."
Wow!
After receiving a clear explanation again, everyone couldn’t help but become excited.
"Oh my, he really is the owner of the Ice Realm?"
"The big boss of the Ice Realm?"
"Sect Leader Jiang actually became the Supreme of the Ice Realm?"
"Controlling a vast true realm, it’s too unbelievable..."
"It’s a glory to be from the Immortal Realm!"
"This is our Demon Realm’s Demon Lord, what does it have to do with your Immortal Realm?"
Everyone looked at Brother Cheng with awe.
Even the Cyan Dragon Emperor, who always liked to dampen Brother Cheng’s spirits, was a bit shaken.
The old dragon’s mouth twitched, inexplicably feeling that young man before him had become tall and majestic.
No choice, one was an Emperor Realm within a weak Immortal Realm, and the other was the owner of a powerful true realm, the status difference was too vast.
The result of this battle quickly spread.
Once the news circulated, the Four Great Realms outside were in uproar.
The name Jiang Cheng was heard for the first time by the cultivators in the Yin, Yang, and Fire Realms.
And hearing it for the first time was already enough to remember.
"A native from the Immortal Realm slew an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?"
"Damn, this is a bit exaggerated, weren’t natives from the Immortal Realm said to be at most Emperor Realm Second Layer, not worth mentioning?"
"In this low-level plane, a being so powerful could appear?"
"Venerable Qi Yan didn’t die in the Heavenly Dao battle but died at the hands of an Immortal Realm native?"
"This is too unbelievable."
"Not just Venerable Qi Yan, but also twelve Emperor Realm Eighth Layer and dozens of Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, this lineup is considered top-tier in any of our true realms."
"It’s said this person is the Lord of the Ice Realm."
"How did someone from the Immortal Realm become the Lord of the Ice Realm?"
"Who knows, but I think their combat power could probably rival a Celestial Venerable..."
"Who exactly is Jiang Cheng?"
"Who is Jiang Cheng?"
In no time, this question was asked countless times in the Yin, Yang, and Fire Realms.
However, most people could not get the answer.
Before this, all true realms considered the Immortal Realm a lower plane.
Indeed, though the Heavenly Dao is here, it is the center of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
But because this world lacks an origin, immortals here are really weak.
And after Brother Cheng’s battle, many had to lower their proud heads and take the Immortal Realm they looked down upon seriously.
It can be said, Sect Leader Jiang single-handedly changed everyone’s perception of the Immortal Realm.
And over in the True Ice Realm, the news was equally sensational.
People of the Ice Realm heard about Jiang Cheng quite early, already well-known before he ascended the Ice Ladder.
However, at that time his identity was the enemy of the Ice Palace, an outsider invader.
And the next time they heard the name Jiang Cheng was when the Ice Palace announced they would henceforth take Jiang Cheng as their master.
That news at the time left countless people in shock.
Why him?
Not to mention his identity as an outsider, even his power wasn’t up to par!
And now Brother Cheng’s battle record comes back, the voices of opposition within the Ice Realm suddenly diminished by half.
One must know, in past true realm battles, the number of times a venerable has been slain is incredibly rare.
The Ice Palace was already blinded by Brother Cheng’s achievements.
"Is this really what he did?"
"He’s actually this strong?"
Yin Cong, Ji Cang, and others nearly dropped their jaws in shock.
They suddenly felt fortunate.
Good thing they didn’t fight Jiang Cheng that day, otherwise as an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, they’d have been pointless, wouldn’t it have been for nothing?
Yun Suo, Feng Lin, and other venerables were all smiles.
"That’s truly someone who has once slain Celestial Venerable Ming Jue!"
"Indeed, it seems that time wasn’t just a fluke."
"With him in our Ice Realm, we have nothing to worry about."
Everyone looked at Gong Qing with sincere admiration, she was fortunate to have suggested delaying and waiting this time.
If they had apologized to Chi Yin Palace earlier, and later Jiang Cheng won, that would truly have been embarrassing.
"Lord Jiang’s battle is of profound significance!"
Advisor Gong wore a look of excitement.
"After this battle, outsiders won’t dare to underestimate our Ice Realm anymore!"
"The Ice Realm can gain precious development opportunities!"
Her prediction was correct.
During this period, the Yin, Yang, and Fire Realms actually sent quite a few spies to the Ice Realm to probe, their attitudes were quite subtle.
And after Jiang Cheng’s battle, all these spies withdrew in fear of inciting hostility from the Ice Realm.
However, over at the Chi Yin Palace of the Realm of Yin, war clouds were dense.
The deaths of Venerable Qi Yan and a group of experts made the entire super sect seethe with anger.
Originally engaged in the struggle for the Heavenly Dao, Celestial Venerable Mieyang and the other six venerables returned hurriedly.
"Qi Yan actually died?"
"Jiang Cheng!"
Celestial Venerable Mieyang was furious, and the other venerables were equally filled with hatred.
"This damn thing must pay with his life!"
"The entire Immortal Realm must be buried with him!"
"And the Ice Realm, the first to be destroyed once we control the Heavenly Dao!"
Chi Yin Palace had never suffered such heavy losses in any past battles.
This grudge, they must avenge.
Otherwise, how could Chi Yin Palace continue amongst the major true realms?
After defeating one batch, another seems to be on the way.
