After Mo Chen went to repair the Immortal Soul, Jiang Cheng called out Ah Huang.
Once she emerged, his daughter chattered like a curious child.
"Huh, where is this place?"
"Mom, where is this?"
"It feels so comfortable, but why can't I find a Spirit Vein..."
"Is this our new home?"
Calling me mom?
Brother Cheng tilted his chin, looking at her like a clueless country bumpkin.
"This is the Immortal Realm, of course, there are no Spirit Veins!"
"So we're in the Immortal Realm, huh, mom you're really something, always moving house."
The little girl could come out anytime in the Xuanji Map, but she preferred staying in the Spirit Vein.
In the Xuanji Map, everyone else felt time dragging on, but only she slept through it all.
"I got you a little brother, today you two should meet."
"A little brother?"
Ah Huang fluttered her long eyelashes, surprised, "Did mom have a baby with someone?"
"Was it Ji Linghan or Lan Ti?"
Damn, you know quite a lot, huh?
I'm amazed I thought you were so pure and innocent all this time...
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and summoned Xiaobai.
"This is Ah Huang, your big sister."
"This is Xiaobai."
"You two should get to know each other well."
Both were not normal beings, he didn't know what would happen.
The two just stared at each other steadily after meeting.
They didn't react for a long while.
The scene was quiet to the point of awkwardness.
As the father, Brother Cheng was a bit anxious, hoping they'd joyfully get along like family.
"What's the matter with you two?"
"Why are you acting like enemies the first time you meet?"
"No, Dad you misunderstood!"
Xiaobai's cute little face broke into a sweet smile, then she went over boldly and hugged Ah Huang.
"I was just too excited to see Sister."
"Sister, give me a hug!"
"Good little brother!"
Ah Huang's slightly chubby face was also full of smiles as she patted Xiaobai on his small back.
"Knowing I have a little brother makes me so happy!"
"Is that so, then that's good."
Brother Cheng nodded, relieved.
But watching Ah Huang pat Xiaobai's back, he was a bit skeptical whether the strength was too much.
"Dad, can I take sister out to bond a bit?"
"Mom, I want to play well with my brother."
"Go on, go on!"
Seeing the two kids 'hitting it off,' Brother Cheng dispelled the bit of doubt in his heart.
He even waved at their departing backs.
Later, he began his 'ascetic cultivation.'
During this time, with the lotteries and spoils of war, he gained a lot of Immortal Pills and Immortal Crystals.
He pulled a handful from his ring and stuffed it into his mouth, starting his usual leveling routine.
Outside, thunder roared, and people occasionally emerged from the Ascension Platform to Cross the Tribulation.
Under the Ascension Platform, everyone's power was advancing by leaps and bounds.
In the rear hall, Mo Chen was quickly repairing the Immortal Soul.
Below the Ascension Platform, a yellow and white light group collided fiercely...
Everything seemed so thriving.
After consuming all the Pills, Brother Cheng directly leaped from a First Grade True Immortal to a Ninth Grade True Immortal.
Although he faced no bottleneck due to his Profound Immortal Level Martial Dao Realm.
And the absorption and conversion speed of the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body was extremely fast, increasing upon taking Pills.
But the main reason for his rapid advancement was the sheer quantity of Pills.
It's known his Martial Dao foundation was too deep, requiring many times the Pills of other Cultivators.
Regarding the Immortal Soul, it was also difficult for him to improve it.
Fortunately, having destroyed two Profound Immortals, their collections were enough to stack up several Celestial Immortals.
Plus, he had slain around two hundred Celestial Immortals.
Only then did he finally raise his Realm.
Reaching the True Immortal Ninth Layer in Cultivation, Brother Cheng was full of spirit and decided to get some Points.
He pulled out the Jade Ruler from the previous City Lord.
This item was actually a Magical Treasure controlling the Ascension Platform and summoning the Essence Core.
Upon refining the Jade Ruler, numerous inscriptions appeared on it, incredibly mystical.
Additionally, a huge golden list appeared atop the Ascension Platform, attracting many spectators from the city.
"The Ascension Chart!"
"As expected, Five Seas City is still in first place with 158 victories now!"
"The top three haven't changed!"
"Yin Yue City, previously fourth, is now sixth, the competition is fierce."
"Shuangdeng City broke into the top ten with exactly 100 victories, impressive!"
"I knew they'd make it, after all, they have six Golden Immortals."
"Do you think our City Lord is a Golden Immortal?"
"I don't know, but if he can take down the former City Lord, maybe he is…"
The residents of the Immortal City felt no sadness over the former City Lord's death.
There was no room for hatred or anger either.
Since they weren't the City Lord's descendants, it didn't matter who was City Lord as long as Brother Cheng wasn't slaughtering them.
They even hoped for a stronger City Lord.
That way, Dingtian City's performance would improve, and the Power of Rules from the Ascension Platform would be stronger, benefiting them too.
As for entering the top ten, they had never considered it.
It was simply unrealistic!
Then they saw a name on the densely packed list suddenly light up intensely at the bottom.
"Damn, did the City Lord issue a challenge?"
"Let me see, which city did he challenge?"
"Zhanxiao City!"
As Brother Cheng initiated the challenge, the entire Ascension Platform seemed to warp into another space.
Without experiencing any tremors or movement, they found themselves in another scene, incredibly mysterious.
In the distant front, another Ascension Platform rose slowly in the mist.
Shadowy figures appeared on the opposite high platform.
Various Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures gleamed with dazzling light.
Everyone from Dingtian City looked at the now-empty spot on the Ascension Platform, their faces full of disbelief.
"My God, Zhanxiao City is a four-victory city, with four Profound Immortals, far stronger than us!"
"This is trouble, we're sure to lose!"
"If we lose, our Power of Rules will decrease by a level."
"Ugh, why provoke a four-victory city..."
The victories in the Immortal City Ascension Battle perfectly reflect the power of a city.
The difference between four and two victories is significant.
Though there are only two victory gaps, due to numerous cities with the same victories, their rankings differ by 4 million.
Why challenge such a strong city?
If he had challenged a city with zero or one victory, there'd be some hope, right?
"Not necessarily, what if the City Lord truly is a Golden Immortal?"
"Well, let's hope so..."
Meanwhile, Brother Cheng finally faced his opponents for this challenge.
On the opposite Ascension Platform, four Profound Immortals simultaneously brandished Immortal Swords.
Over five hundred Celestial Immortals lined up, with more than twenty thousand True Immortals behind.
This was due to the Ascension Battle's rule limit of only thirty thousand participants.
"A mere two-victory city dares to challenge us?"
"Truly courting death!"
As the opposing City Lord finished speaking, Celestial and True Immortals behind him laughed uproariously.
