Chapter 1366 - 1366: Leave This Battle to Us

What arrangements can Brother Cheng have? He doesn't bother with these sect affairs.

"That's up to Gong Qing."

"She is the Palace Master, and she handles all routine matters."

Towards Jiang Cheng, of course, these Daoist Venerables hold great reverence.

But for Gong Qing, the Palace Master, they seemed a bit indifferent.

After all, they were all Daoist Venerables; perhaps Gong Qing wasn't even as powerful as they were.

Brother Cheng noticed this and proactively prepared them in advance.

"She is with me, and when I'm not here, her decisions represent my will."

With his declaration, the six Daoist Venerables' expressions turned solemn, and they all accepted the command.

After they withdrew, the female immortals of the Ice Palace were stunned.

What did they just hear?

Venerable Xue Yi began to stammer.

"They... called you a Daoist Saint?"

"Uh-huh." Brother Cheng slightly lifted his chin.

Venerable Lin Jing looked at him as if seeing a fantastical creature.

"So you really are a Daoist Saint?"

"Absolutely."

"Oh my gosh..."

The female immortals were instantly amazed.

"You're actually a Daoist Saint?"

They dared not use "you" but instead used the respectful "您."

A Daoist Saint!

To them, it was like meeting a legendary figure.

Vast divine techniques, maintaining an extraordinary existence even in a place like Yunmi Dao.

Initially, they were unconvinced, but now, looking at Jiang Cheng's familiar face, they were a bit at a loss.

"So he really is a Daoist Saint."

"Our Ice Palace has a Daoist Saint now?"

"No wonder the Palace Master esteemed him so highly from the start; it turns out he's a Daoist Saint..."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Have we been interacting with a Daoist Saint these past days?"

"Was it a dignified Daoist Saint who greeted me every morning those days?"

Venerable Wuyuan was still irritated a few days ago when Jiang Cheng interrupted her cultivation.

Now she suddenly felt honored.

After all, it's a Daoist Saint, isn't it?

Being called to rise early by a Daoist Saint—many people dream of this; it's something boast-worthy for a lifetime, you know?

She even wished it would happen a hundred more times.

After the initial shock, the female immortals found it hard to comprehend.

"But, you're clearly in the Ultimate Realm!"

Brother Cheng was indulging in the gratifying feeling and responded without thinking: "So what if I am, they just regard me as a Daoist Saint."

The female immortals exchanged glances.

Does this mean you really are in the Ultimate Realm?

"Then... do you intend to take on disciples?"

With Lan Miao's suggestion, the other female immortals' eyes also brightened.

"Supreme Palace Master, how about me?"

"Can I become your apprentice?"

Why do so many people want a master with higher cultivation and greater power?

Besides giving them a stronger supporter, the greater benefit is having a guide.

The path of cultivation becomes more profound and elusive as one progresses.

Once reaching the Supreme level, one pursues deeper mysteries and meanings.

Whether it's cultivation techniques or martial arts or rules, it all requires a lengthy period for comprehension.

At this point, having a master who can guide you at critical moments becomes very important.

A master at the level of a Daoist Saint is virtually unattainable.

Encountering Jiang Cheng, a Daoist Saint, they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Taishang was surrounded tightly.

The treatment compared to a few days ago was an extreme reversal.

However, he remained unperturbed by this.

Looking at the eager female immortals, he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

"No way."

"I don't have the habit of taking disciples."

This...

The female immortals felt disappointment but found it normal.

A Daoist Saint seldom takes disciples easily.

"Then, can we ask you about cultivation issues in the future?"

"I'm busy."

Brother Cheng thought it was okay to discuss other matters, but as for cultivation issues, forget it.

Mainly because it involves cultivation—it's not only tedious but also time-consuming.

A lecture could last a long time, often starting from the genesis of heaven and earth to the fundamental principles of rules.

He didn't have that kind of patience.

What are you busy with? Aren't you idle every day?

The female immortals almost exposed his excuse on the spot.

But considering he's a Daoist Saint, they had to restrain themselves to silently grumble in their hearts.

Meanwhile, more than fifty thousand newcomers were all completed with Yi Lian, officially becoming disciples of the Ice Palace.

Jiang Cheng didn't need to worry about what positions these new recruits would be assigned.

Such matters were for Gong Qing to handle.

Brother Cheng felt that he just needed to maintain his presence.

Stay around until things stabilize, then he can continue showing off outside.

In the following days, the entire Ice Palace thrived.

The influx of fifty thousand newcomers brought many changes.

Many surrounding sects hurried to send people to make friendly ties and take the initiative to ally with the Ice Palace.

Gong Qing and the newly appointed Daoist Venerable Elders were busy beyond measure.

As for Jiang Cheng, he was enjoying himself immensely.

The female immortals who were previously disrespectful would now actively greet him, full of enthusiasm.

The fifty thousand new disciples treated him with utmost respect, not missing any opportunity to flatter him.

Immersed in titles like "Supreme Palace Master" and "Invincible Daoist Saint," he felt as if he had forgotten his way back home in ecstasy.

Meanwhile, the female immortals of the Ice Palace privately let their imaginations run wild again.

"Do you really think Jiang Taishang is a Daoist Saint?"

"What else could it be?"

"Exactly, so many Daoist Venerables respectfully call him a Daoist Saint; it can't be wrong."

"But... what kind of Daoist Saint spends their days doing nothing?"

"I can't help but think his demeanor isn't like a Daoist Saint."

"Especially last time..."

"What happened last time?"

"He refused our request for guidance on cultivation issues. Do you think... it's because he has no idea so he declined?"

"This..."

"That's actually possible."

"But the fifty thousand newcomers all recognize him as a Daoist Saint; what about that?"

"Perhaps they've been fooled by his bluffing."

"No way, how bold must one be to deceive so many people?"

Such discussions gradually spread among the female immortals of the Ice Palace.

What could they do? They had never seen Jiang Cheng in action.

To make them believe that a Supreme is actually a Daoist Saint, there should at least be a respectable and esteemed image that matches people's fantasies.

But that was an image Brother Cheng probably could never embody in his lifetime.

On this day, the Ice Palace faced a new batch of formidable foes.

When the messenger disciple hurriedly reported the enemy's invasion, there was no panic within the Ice Palace.

Linjing and Lan Miao expressed that they were already used to it.

Besides, the present Ice Palace was not what it used to be.

With nine Daoist Venerables present, external forces like Cyan Bear Valley and Mo Yuan Valley would just be seeking their doom if they dared to come.

And the newly joined Daoist Venerables were overjoyed.

"Haha, perfect timing!"

"We have joined the Ice Palace without any achievements yet; let us handle this battle!"

"Right, we shall go destroy the enemy while the Palace Master provides support from the rear."
