Despite the fact that most people in the Middle Immortal Realm hoped someone could intercept Sect Leader Jiang before the month was up, things didn't go as they wished.
This 'war' involving over half of the Middle Immortal Realm to hunt down one person ended in their failure.
If they knew the person in question didn't regard it as a war, but merely a showoff, they'd probably be even more frustrated.
On the day the month ended, the golden light on him disappeared.
This was the last decade, anyone else would have breathed a sigh of relief.
But Brother Cheng was different; he rather felt a bit unsatisfied.
"Why isn't this special effect permanent?"
"Alas, just when I was enjoying it a little, now I have to return to mundane life again."
He opened up the system panel and checked, the smile returned to his face.
This tour had indeed reaped a tremendous harvest.
Because everywhere he flew, people were astonished; he collected a lot of shock value along the way.
Now, in conversion, he had a whopping 23.36 million merit points!
This number is nearly ten times more than what he previously accumulated.
Which is only natural, given he had flown over so many places.
The cultivation levels of these people varied, and so did their degree of shock, but the sheer number of them made up for it!
If there were a ranking in the Middle Immortal Realm for 'most seen by people,' he would surely lead by a landslide.
He spent 2.97 million merit points to upgrade all the main rules to the great perfection level.
This is the rule understanding level of an Immortal Emperor.
The remaining over 20 million merit points were all converted into eighth-grade immortal pills to strengthen his cultivation!
Over 20 million merit points could be exchanged for as many as forty to fifty thousand eighth-grade immortal pills!
The medicinal strength of an eighth-grade immortal pill is many times stronger than that of a seventh-grade one.
And the Middle Immortal Realm doesn't even produce eighth-grade immortal pills.
Such treatment is only enjoyed by an Immortal Emperor.
In Brother Cheng's view, with so many immortal pills, ascending to ninth-grade Immortal King would be no problem.
However, when he actually started enhancing himself, he realized he had been too optimistic.
After consuming ten thousand immortal pills, he barely advanced from first-grade Immortal King to second-grade.
Even after using up the remaining thirty thousand-plus immortal pills, he still hadn't reached third-grade...
"How the hell is this possible?"
"Must be a mistake?"
"Is it really this hard to level up as an Immortal King?"
In fact, such a number of eighth-grade immortal pills could easily produce dozens of ninth-grade Immortal Kings.
But he forgot one thing, after having an Immortal Country, the advancement of an Immortal King is tied to the country.
His Immortal Country, with 992 main rules, and using an Enlightenment Immortal Tree as the core...
This foundation was simply too formidable.
So his upgrading was naturally thousands of times more difficult than other Immortal Kings.
If he wasn't good at earning merit, he might still be stuck at first or second-grade Immortal King even after tens of billions of years.
Meanwhile, on the other side, gazing at the dimmed Immortal Fate Chart, countless people wailed.
"Damn, he actually managed to survive this month?"
"So many rounds of Immortal Fate Orders, this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant, it's infuriating!"
The Immortal Fate Order wasn't hidden, it was clearly in front of them, but they couldn't get it, so frustrating!
"Isn't there anyone who can deal with this monster?"
"At this rate, the Middle Immortal Realm will fall into chaos, where is the order?"
Everyone inexplicably felt quite humiliated, besides a deep sense of defeat.
"Now it's useless to say anything, the Immortal Fate Order has completely gone into hiding, it's no longer visible."
"Yes, we couldn't catch him when it was exposed, let alone now..."
"But it was 300,000 pieces, this is killing us!"
At this point, everyone had lost hope.
But soon, someone suddenly shouted, holding a transmission immortal artifact.
"Wait, look!"
"He actually stopped!"
"What?"
The crowd gathered around, forming an impenetrable circle.
Although the Immortal Fate Chart didn't display anything, the group of Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables chasing Brother Cheng had, by habit, kept on chasing.
As the light ahead vanished, they similarly cursed while thinking it was impossible now.
Yet as they flew, they suddenly discovered that familiar figure appeared again in front of them.
Brother Cheng, busy browsing the system mall for Taobao and leveling up with his pills, naturally stopped in place.
Their first reaction wasn't surprise, but disbelief that they had seen it wrong.
But after rubbing their eyes, Jiang Cheng still hadn't left.
Thus, this scene naturally spread quickly along with the transmission immortal artifact projection.
It caused an uproar once more among countless people.
"What's going on now?"
"What is he doing?"
"Looks like he's in a daze?"
"No way?"
"I feel like he stopped on purpose to mock us?"
At this moment, countless people in the Middle Immortal Realm focused their attention on Brother Cheng.
Whether it was ancient immortal sects like Infinite Cave Heaven or some medium and small sects, they were all at a loss, unable to fathom his thoughts.
What exactly does this action signify?
Even the Feixian Sect was equally baffled.
Their founder had miraculously survived the month-long exposure period, and they had just been cheering.
Now this...
"Oh, you're still here?"
Brother Cheng, fresh from leveling up, snapped back to reality, realizing he was surrounded.
Three layers inside and out, nearly seven to eight thousand people.
There were over thirty Immortal Kings leading, with almost the rest being Immortal Venerables.
Actually, several hundred Immortal Kings had been chasing him, but over time, some got left behind, and some gave up midway.
This group in front were the nearest ones.
"Oh, you're still here?"
"Seeing as you've been following me for so long, I'll reluctantly give you an autograph."
Having flaunted for a whole month and earned so much merit, he was in a pretty good mood, feeling he should give back to these 'stalker fans' for supporting him.
The people around exchanged glances, not understanding what he meant, but their actions were swift.
Thirty-five Immortal Kings immediately released their Immortal Countries, while the Immortal Venerables on the periphery quietly set up immortal arrays and restrictions.
In a short while, this place turned into a cage with no escape up or down.
Seeing this scene, the high-ranking members of the various immortal sects watching through the transmission images all got excited at the same time.
"Got him!"
"Now he can't escape even with wings!"
"No matter how fast he is, there's no way out!"
Brother Cheng watched their setup with open eyes but couldn't be bothered to stop them, just feeling a bit puzzled.
These didn't look like the crazy star-chasing 'stalker fans.'
"What are you doing, marking your territory or something..."
"Hmph, you've been running quite fast this month!"
The thirty-five Immortal Kings present saw their setup complete and all felt relieved.
"Let's see how you'll escape now!"
"Hand over all the Immortal Fate Orders, or you'll be dead with no burial site!"
"Just kill him already, with so many people here, why even negotiate..."
"Exactly, after such a long chase, I can't wait to tear him to pieces!"
Brother Cheng finally realized the situation.
These people were chasing him just to steal his Immortal Fate Orders, not out of admiration?
This was awkward.
He had been so pleased with himself for a whole month.
Suddenly, he felt a strong surge of displeasure!
"So it was for the Immortal Fate Orders?"
"A bunch of tasteless idiots, ignoring the charm on me and chasing after those broken tokens instead?"
"Alright then!"
"You can all go to hell."
