Chapter 1363 - 1363: Crowds Flocking to the Door

Despite Jiang Cheng currently revealing his Realm as Supreme, the fact that those four Supremes were instantly defeated is undeniable.

There's no suspense.

And no doubt.

Everyone immediately confirmed his identity—the Invincible Daoist Saint!

"Daoist Saint!"

The crowd finally boiled over.

"It's truly a Daoist Saint!"

"My God, in my lifetime, I actually get to see a Daoist Saint with my own eyes!"

"So he is that Daoist Saint!"

"I even spoke to the Daoist Saint just now…"

For the vast majority of Immortals, a Daoist Saint is too advanced, a dragon revealing only its head and not its tail.

Forget the Emperor Realm Sixth and Seventh Layers, even Venerables and Celestial Venerables are not qualified to meet one.

The disparity is so great, it's almost as if they're not the same species from the same Plane.

Some Immortals who previously followed and questioned or even mocked Jiang Cheng pissed themselves in fear.

Many people rolled and crawled to kneel down, knocking their heads fervently.

"Daoist Saint, spare us!"

"Daoist Saint Grandfather, spare us!"

"Earlier, we were blind and offended you…"

"We're guilty and deserve to die ten thousand times; we hope Daoist Saint Grandfather can forgive…"

Brother Cheng couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be many living people here.

"Alright, alright, the ignorant are blameless."

The crowd felt as if they had received a grand pardon, followed closely by a tide of flattery.

"The Invincible Daoist Saint truly has a broad mind!"

"A model for our generation!"

"The first Daoist Saint I've seen in this lifetime is so approachable…"

"The Invincible Daoist Saint really is a humble and indifferent person!"

After revealing his power, Brother Cheng was revered in whatever he said.

While everyone showered flattery, they secretly found it too unbelievable.

They previously heard that the Ice Palace had a Daoist Saint, but never thought they'd be fortunate enough to meet one.

In their eyes, a person of that level surely wouldn't breathe the same Immortal Qi as ordinary Immortals.

And now, what have they witnessed?

A Daoist Saint personally appearing to recruit newcomers?

This was too down-to-earth, wasn't it?

Unexpectedly, all newcomers present felt a bit unworthy.

Overwhelmed and flattered!

Their rapid reaction as if cleansed by a storm made Jiang Cheng very pleased.

"I am titled the Invincible Daoist Saint, currently the sole Supreme Palace Master of the Ice Palace."

"Now you should know, the Ice Palace truly possesses a Daoist Saint, right?"

He didn't exaggerate, and was even modest.

Given the system's support, he actually is truly invincible.

While Daoist Saints don't count as invincible.

The surrounding Immortals offered another flurry of compliments.

Afterward, some began itching to join.

"Um, Invincible Daoist Saint, is it still possible to join the Ice Palace now?"

"Yeah, are you still accepting people?"

With such a superb Strong Person present, the Ice Palace is bound to become one of the top forces in Yunmi Dao.

Simply put, it's better to rely on a big tree for shelter.

Wars between Sect sects in Yunmi Dao are very frequent.

Although these newcomers are highly sought after now, once they leave the Market, they might become prey for some sects.

And by joining a sect with inadequate Power, one risks the possibility of the entire sect being annihilated.

If captured at that time, they'll be enslaved.

Not only will they be controlled, but normal disciples won't even get any stipends or such.

Joining a Sect with a Daoist Saint means no worries about these issues.

Moreover, the Ice Palace only uses Yi Lian, not Soul Link.

Few people enjoy being shackled.

This is an advantage other top-tier sects don't have.

The Three-Eyed Tiger, Taiheng, Tian Lin, and others were overjoyed. Although they didn't have much sentiment for the Ice Palace, they still hoped recruiting would go smoothly and perfectly.

They wished they could nod immediately, yes, yes, we're still recruiting, open to all.

However, Jiang Cheng waved them off.

"Our Ice Palace, as a sect with ambition, does have standards for recruitment."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, with tens of thousands of newcomers almost looking eager to sign up, he himself found it somewhat unimaginable.

Does a Daoist Saint have such a strong appeal?

If that's the case, then…

"Earlier, the first batch, we didn't limit Cultivation."

"Now for the second batch, one must be at least a Venerable."

Otherwise, accepting tens of thousands of people, many in the Emperor Realm First and Second Layers couldn't bear the immense augmentative power in the future.

This criterion is exceedingly high.

But everyone present felt it was reasonable.

A sect led by a Daoist Saint surely can't be as casual as ordinary sects.

Many Immortals below Venerable realm immediately regretted and lamented.

If only they had signed up during the first batch, now they couldn't catch up.

However, while they regretted, those 'newcomers' above Venerable level enthusiastically swarmed as if in a rush to buy.

They crowded over, almost instantly encircling the Ice Palace's stall imperviously.

"I want to sign up!"

"I'm a Celestial Venerable, can I have priority?"

"What's a Celestial Venerable? I'm actually a Supreme!"

"Daoist Saint Senior, look at me…"

Jiang Cheng's prediction of the scene actually came true.

The crowd did face congestion and trampling incidents, and Taiheng, Tian Lin, Yan Yi, and others couldn't handle it.

Helplessly, they had to immediately enlist the assistance of the first batch of dozens of Immortals to help maintain order.

Nearby, experts from several top-tier sects watched this scene, still feeling envious.

Yet they dared not say anything.

They didn't even dare show disgruntled expressions.

They could only hope that once this Invincible Daoist Saint finished recruiting, there might still be leftovers.

Meanwhile, they were also considering forging ties with the Ice Palace.

The Ice Palace isn't far from here.

With a Daoist Saint in command, surrounding sects are trembling.

If the Ice Palace starts a war of expansion, what then?

Several Daoist Venerables pondered this and either took out their Communication Immortal Artifact to contact their sect headquarters or flew back to their clan to discuss strategies.

Far away at the Ice Palace, the women were still discussing Jiang Cheng.

"How many people do you think he can recruit?"

"Three would be good."

"I think so too, at most three."

"Three?"

Venerable Linjing chuckled lightly.

"I bet not even one."

"That can't be?"

Lan Miao and Wuyuan, and other Ultimate Elders, were somewhat puzzled.

"With our Ice Palace having a Daoist Venerable stationed, we should be able to lower the standard to the Emperor Realm First Layer and still receive one or two 'fish that escaped the net'."

Linjing calmly replied, "Someone else might manage it, but he definitely won't."

"Why?"

"Because he doesn't seem like someone who would put effort into persuading others; he doesn't have the patience."

"And in the Supreme Hall, without effort, there's absolutely no interest."

If Brother Cheng hears this, he might be quite surprised and think, "Miss, you sure know me well."

While they were discussing, suddenly several disciples flew back with great panic.

Upon closer inspection, they realized these were the disciples stationed in the perimeter for alerts.

"Bad news!"

"Strong enemies are attacking!"
