On the Dingtian City side, Brother Cheng wasn't idle either.

Thinking that this ascension battle failed, he would surely be challenged again in the future, so he decided to undergo some serious ascetic cultivation again.

Since all the main rules had already reached Entry Level, this time he chose the Level 8 lottery.

100 billion points for a spin, but there is a chance to win a Level 3 Rule Fragment.

A Level 3 Rule Fragment can either elevate ten rules to Mastery Level, or elevate one rule to Great Success Level.

Rules at Mastery Level correspond to the Golden Immortal Realm.

If he doesn't elevate all 992 main rules to this realm, he won't be able to become a Golden Immortal in the future.

Sect Leader Jiang is indeed doing something unprecedented, with so many main rules, yet able to ascend so quickly.

Calculating the recent points gained from disciples leveling up, plus the rewards accumulated from previous battles, he now had 7500 billion points.

He drew seventy times, obtaining nine Rule Fragments.

In addition, he gained two Tier Four Immortal Artifacts, and one book each of Golden Immortal Level martial arts techniques.

Among these seventy draws, the highest value reward was a Taishu Immortal Rhyme.

Corresponding to Immortal Venerable and Immortal King Level Martial Dao Realm, it was utterly priceless.

After Brother Cheng used it, the Five Elements Martial Dao within his Daoist Heart instantly reached the Immortal King Level.

Various insights poured in, even causing flowers to rain down within the Immortal City, with extraordinary visions abound.

Everyone stepped outside, gazing at the spectacular scenery with a mesmerized look, seemingly ready to be utterly captivated.

Until Jiang Cheng's elevation was completed, the visions disappeared.

"Ah, it really becomes harder to progress the further you get."

"Points seem plentiful, but they're still not enough."

Many pills accumulated from battles and lottery draws over 100 times during this period.

If it were other immortals, they'd easily stack a few Golden Immortals.

But for him, it ultimately only resulted in elevating from Seventh-grade Celestial Immortal to First Grade Profound Immortal.

The following year's time was calm in Dingtian City.

Being in a protection period, no one could challenge him.

The two children remained in a state of sleep.

As for the expert cultivators inside the Ascension Platform, they all made significant progress in power.

Key figures such as Gui Cang, Void Abyss, and Golden Dragon King among hundreds of leaders all achieved Celestial Immortal, with Bi Chang being the strongest, reaching Tier Four Celestial Immortal.

And at the Feixian Sect, Lan Ti, Ji Linghan, and Lin Ning reached Tier Three Celestial Immortal.

Throughout the year, Brother Cheng maintained the pace of elevating one person a day.

Second and Third Generation disciples were all elevated to Second-class Talent, currently all reaching Celestial Immortal.

As for the Fourth Generation disciples, they all achieved True Immortal Realm.

Among the others who ascended together, more than half became immortals.

Today's Dingtian City is thousands of times stronger than before.

Even without Jiang Cheng, they could mostly survive in the Immortal Realm.

On this day, the year-long protection period finally ended.

Countless beings from the Lower Immortal Realm turned their gaze to the Ascension Chart at that moment, helping Brother Cheng tally days.

A year of complete stillness was enough to prove Dingtian City was indeed failing.

Their essence core truly could not bear it any longer.

As soon as time arrived, Shuangdeng City, Silver Bell City, and Red Moon City almost simultaneously pressed the challenge button.

Ultimately, the Red Moon City Lord ranked seventh, swiftly seized the lead.

Thus earning the right to challenge Dingtian City.

The other two sides felt exceedingly regretful, disappointment and dejection filled the entire city.

Meanwhile, over at Red Moon City, celebrations erupted.

As if they had already claimed victory.

Challenged once more, Brother Cheng felt immensely embarrassed.

Had he become a mere sitting duck in others' eyes?

Seems like unless he gives these folks a profound lesson, it won't work.

When both parties appeared in the Challenge Space, the Red Moon City crowd felt assured.

True to the rumors, each time Dingtian City only sends Jiang Cheng alone to battle.

Even if he's strong, he can only win once in the first round, their side can win without fighting in the following two rounds.

"Jiang Cheng, do you think we won't challenge you out of fear our City Lord might be killed?"

"To tell you the truth, your power doesn't intimidate anyone!"

Opposite of him, the Red Moon City Lord had a smug expression.

The army ready for the second round also laughed heartily.

They had long devised their strategy.

Sect Leader Jiang felt speechless.

"I hadn't thought that way..."

As someone who relied on cheats all the way, where did he have the free mind to guess his opponents' psychology?

"Hmph, you're just stalling, we're securing this victory!"

"We have nine years ahead, playing several rounds is certain."

The Red Moon City Lord waved his hand grandly, motioning for a Saint Tier Cultivator, trembling, to step forward.

"Get moving!"

The power of the Saint Tier Cultivator was too weak, initially unfit to represent Red Moon City in battle.

He was forcibly recruited temporarily this time.

Indeed, this was the brilliant trick the Red Moon City Lord and his subordinates spent a year conceiving.

Is not Jiang Cheng killing a City Lord each first round?

Then I won't send the City Lord the first round, just send a nobody in, consuming this round for good.

The Immortal City Ascension Battle's first round is a duel.

Best of three, the first round's importance is equal to the other two.

Such a crucial round, certainly send the strongest, it's undeniably imperative.

The reason why every time this round pits City Lord vs. City Lord is merely because each Immortal City invariably has their strongest being the City Lord.

In reality, not sending the City Lord, sending someone else doesn't breach the rules.

Furthermore, even if it's truly restricted to City Lords, they could always change City Lords temporarily.

As for the Saint Tier Cultivator being slain by Jiang Cheng?

What concern is it of theirs, it's not their funeral.

"City Lord, spare me, City Lord, spare me..."

Of course that Saint Tier Cultivator didn't want to die, his legs shook like a sieve, he kneeled on the floor, begging tearfully.

"Think of your family, think of your clan!"

"For all of Red Moon City, your sacrifice is so meaningful!"

"Once you're gone, I'll ensure their welfare. All Red Moon City will remember you."

Between the lines, implying if he didn't go, they would suffer greatly.

The Red Moon City Lord bore an indifferent face, sacrificing one person for grand achievements seemed greatly worthwhile to him.

Provided the sacrifice wasn't himself.

Under his threats and the coercion of other surrounding Profound Immortal Celestial Immortal beings, the Saint Tier Cultivator eventually trembled into the arena.

As he entered, the countdown for the first round officially began.

Everyone rested assured, waiting for Jiang Cheng to eliminate this Saint Tier.

Go ahead, this is offered for your slaughter.

After all, a sacrifice must be made.

Observing their inexplicable antics, Brother Cheng lit a cigarette, conjured up a chair, crossed one leg, sat down, and clapped his hands to express his astonishment.

"Your performance is truly magnificent."

"I nearly cried with emotion."

He always felt he was rather daring in his actions.

Compared to this bunch, he was a paragon of virtuous conduct.

He had zero intention of engaging in combat.
