Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Is He Cultivating Anew?

Just a few days ago, everyone thought Jiang Cheng was surely going to die under the pursuit of the Ice Palace.

This otherworldly person wouldn’t last long.

Even those who had faith in him only thought he could hide for a little longer.

Or simply flee the Ice Realm and slip away into chaotic turbulence.

The incident of killing Huo Chun was just a minor disturbance for many.

But now, this new battle record made everyone realize his ’weight’ completely.

"How strong is he really?"

"Wasn’t he just a little lord before?"

"How could he kill so many people?"

"According to the Ice Palace, he took advantage of the terrain; the area around Ice Origin Valley lacks the aura of origin."

"This battle, he took the easy way out!"

"How is that taking the easy way out? He can’t communicate with the origin himself either."

This question was also raised among the Ice Palace experts.

"In that blank area, our power is greatly reduced, yet he suffers little loss."

"What does this mean? Can he borrow the power of origin in that area?"

"No, but this person seems to have visited many true realms and comprehended a lot of rules."

"His power is incredibly diverse and complex, simply unbelievable."

"Moreover, his comprehension of other rules seems to be at a high realm!"

The experts of Ice Palace immediately understood.

Such a person who masters many different rules has a great advantage in a place with no origin.

In fact, many experts from Ice Palace frequently visit other true realms to comprehend other rules.

But they only skim the surface, unlike Brother Cheng with consistently tenth-layered profound patterns.

"What should we do? Charge in?"

"No, that would be unwise."

Ice Palace has power at the eighth layer of the Emperor Realm.

A strong assault is actually effective but could lead to unnecessary casualties.

Possible, but not necessary.

"Since the opponent has an advantage in that blank area, we’ll just wait for him to come out."

"Exactly, he won’t stay in there forever."

Thus, just a few days later, many Ice Palace experts appeared around the blank area.

Additionally, there were many ordinary cultivators who came to watch the spectacle.

"What is he doing inside?"

Watching from a distance, Ji Cang, the Third Palace Master of Ice Palace, was a bit puzzled.

The other Ice Palace experts nearby hurriedly replied respectfully to the inquiry from this big shot at the eighth layer of the Emperor Realm, "He’s refining the Silver Moon Ice Essence to break through the realm."

"Breaking through the realm here?"

"Yes, it’s said that this person wants to take the Ice Ladder challenge, but his realm isn’t at the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm, so he can’t go up."

"Things like this exist?" Ji Cang found it immensely absurd.

As an expert at the eighth layer of the Emperor Realm, he had never seen such inexplicable things.

If not for Jiang Cheng’s solid battle record, he would doubt they found the wrong person.

Not only him, but those cultivators who came also found it unbelievable.

"He’s not even at the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm, how did he kill three at the seventh layer?"

"Level challenge, can he surpass so many levels?"

"This is ridiculous!"

"To break through to the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm in just a few days?"

"That’s wishful thinking, even a genius needs millions of years!"

"Indeed, have some common sense, suspect his brain isn’t working..."

"Speak quietly, this person is no pushover!"

"Scared of what, we’re not inside the blank area, plus there are Ice Palace elders here."

Not knowing when Ice Palace would take action, were they really going to wait for him to come out?

While they were discussing, cheers suddenly erupted from the blank area.

"Breakthrough!"

"He really broke through!"

"Fifth layer of the Emperor Realm!"

After getting a new impression of Brother Cheng, the cultivators inside had no more resistance.

Spending a few days together, they found this brother quite unique.

While refining the Silver Moon Ice Essence, he would occasionally chat with them.

These folks expressed they had never seen such down-to-earth experts.

He’s not as terrifying as described outside.

Finally seeing him break through to the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm, everyone instinctively felt a sense of joy at a great accomplishment.

"Haha, fantastic!"

"So impressive!"

"My gosh, breaking through two great realms in just four days!"

"Such things are actually true..."

"Incredible."

If they hadn’t seen it or felt it firsthand, they would think it was fake.

Perhaps he was always at the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm and only lowered his realm before.

But the Ice Ladder blocking people earlier was true, and Jiang Cheng’s cultivation rise happened right before their eyes; there’s no mistaking it.

"What kind of divine being is this?"

"A miracle, truly a miracle!"

Many even clicked their tongues in regret.

"Are otherworldly people really this strong?"

"If only he were from our Ice Realm..."

Those who were belittling and mocking Brother Cheng earlier were swiftly slapped back in the face.

Each one left speechless, finding it hard to comprehend.

Back on the Ice Palace side, Ji Cang and a dozen experts at the seventh layer of the Emperor Realm remained calm.

"This person’s rule level and divine soul level are there."

"Yes, he wasn’t supposed to be at such a low realm."

"I suspect he might have gone through some accident, causing his cultivation to fall, and now he’s rebuilding it."

Rebuilding cultivation after it falls is indeed faster than normal breakthroughs.

After all, it’s a path that’s been taken, now thoroughly familiar.

Ji Cang slowly remarked, "That must be it."

"This person might be a top-tier great power, with a background not inferior to ours; caution is wise!"

Others agreed, nodding solemnly with apprehension.

They actually mistook Cheng for a veteran elder who had had an accident.

Otherwise, his rule realm and divine soul realm would be inexplicable!

Inside, Brother Cheng wasn’t aware of their discussion.

After rising to the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm, he eagerly wanted to ascend the Ice Ladder again to show off.

"Senior, are you going to the Ice Ladder?"

Numerous cultivators gathered to watch the spectacle.

"Boss, how many levels can you reach?"

"I guess at least 40 levels!"

"40 levels, Boss seems like a peerless genius; I bet 60 levels!"

"60 levels is a bit exaggerated, currently, only three people in the whole Ice Realm have surpassed 60 levels, one of whom is the Great Palace Master of Ice Palace."

"Boss is different!"

"Exactly, I guess Boss will break the record this time!"

Brother Cheng thought they should flatter boldly.

levels, 60 levels, that’s too conservative.

Unleashing his divine thought, he found countless people gathered outside the blank area.

This brother didn’t know that part of them were from the Ice Palace, ready to fight him, thinking they were all just spectators.

Thus, pouring his divine soul into his words, he shouted towards them.

"Hey, little bros over there, come on over!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t make a move against you!"
