Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1065 - 1065: Paths to Becoming an Immortal Official

"What task?"Venerable Cang Luo was quite curious about what kind of task he could be given.

Then Jiang Cheng casually said, "I want to become an official Immortal, help me sort it out."

This guy managed to overthrow three untouchables in a short time, and now in this King-level dojo, it's extremely lonely at the top.

Okay, honestly he's just bored.

He didn't come to the dojo to learn, nor did he have an interest in it.

The only reason he joined was to become an Immortal Official. Immortal Officials, to him, were nothing special, but everyone else in the Primordial Immortal Realm revered them.

He felt it necessary to acquire one, just for the prestige—so wherever he goes, he stands out.

"You're a Sixth-grade Immortal Official, this should be easy for you, right?"

"Go on, I'm waiting for your good news."

Venerable Cang Luo almost coughed up blood from being slapped on the shoulder.

Even Qiu Yuxuan, who was burning with rage, was almost amused.

How clueless is this guy?

What does he think an Immortal Official is?

A wild fruit by the roadside, ready to be picked?

Don't be fooled, some Immortal Officials may only be in the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, but becoming an Immortal Official involves enduring countless challenges and tests.

They all have unimaginable hardships behind them.

If not, King Jia's dojo wouldn't have so many Celestial Venerables still doing menial tasks.

"This, I'm afraid I can't do..."

Venerable Cang Luo's lips twitched.

He could tell this guy didn't want to go through the normal process.

"What?"

Brother Cheng was furious: "You can't even handle this little thing; what use are you to me?"

Qiu Yuxuan didn't even know what to say.

She didn't know how to describe this man.

Despite not even being a Ninth-grade Immortal Official, he could reprimand a Sixth-grade Immortal Official as if he were a grandchild—and from the Law Enforcement Department, no less.

What had he done before?

The past deeds mentioned by Granny Qiu seemed to her as nothing more than the feats of a backward bumpkin dominating a low-level plane—long outdated.

Was it worth the fuss?

Venerable Cang Luo felt it was definitely worth the fuss.

He could only patiently explain the difficulty of becoming an Immortal Official.

"The earliest Immortal Officials were the left and right arms and followers of the Ten Celestial Emperors. They are elders of the Celestial Palace, different from later Immortal Officials..."

"Later immortals have three ways to become an Immortal Official."

"First, make significant contributions to the Celestial Palace and gain their recognition."

At this point, Qiu Yuxuan showed interest as well.

Because she also wanted to know the specific steps to become an Immortal Official.

Brother Cheng asked, "What exactly does contribution mean?"

Venerable Cang Luo replied, "Risk your life for the Celestial Palace, eliminate rebellious immortals, and achieve major merits."

"Or do other miscellaneous tasks for the Celestial Palace for a certain number of years."

"How long?"

"As few as several billion years, as many as tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years—it depends on how the higher-ups assess your contributions."

Currently, those Immortal Venerables and Celestial Venerables in King Jia's dojo are accumulating contributions.

"Whoa, this is more like being a long-term laborer than being an Immortal Official. No way, not doing it!"

Brother Cheng's head shook like a rattling drum.

Qiu Yuxuan didn't care for this option either; she wouldn't spend billions of years on such things.

Venerable Cang Luo wasn't surprised by his reaction; if Jiang Cheng chose this path, it would be truly odd.

"Besides that, one could also donate to the Celestial Palace."

"Donate what?"

"Various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Curios or vast cultivation resources."

"As long as it's numerous enough to show sincerity to the Celestial Palace, and after passing their tests to confirm loyalty..."

Venerable Cang Luo was interrupted by Brother Cheng before he could finish.

"Alright, alright, tell me other ways."

What a joke, it's already noble of him not to snatch others' treasures and resources.

Want to take treasures from him?

Currently, only Feixian Sect disciples and Military Advisor Gong Qing have received his bounty.

"Second way, reach the Ultimate Realm."

Venerable Cang Luo patted his chest with a hint of pride, "Achieve this level, and the Celestial Palace has no choice but to pay attention."

"Once reaching the Supreme Realm, after undergoing some simple tests to confirm loyalty, one can basically become an Immortal Official."

Brother Cheng sneered, "What's there to be proud of? Tell me other ways."

Though he possesses great power, his realm is still far from Supreme.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Venerable Cang Luo secretly grumbled, it seems you're not yet in Supreme Realm.

"There's a third way, which is through passing a series of assessments in the dojo."

"The Emperor-level dojo has a total of 99 rounds of assessments, every hundred thousand years. Passing all makes you an Immortal Official. Failing once starts the count over."

He didn't notice Brother Cheng's twitching lips as he continued, "This is already the fastest way, taking only 9.9 million years to become an Immortal Official."

"The King-level dojo has 810 rounds of assessments, also every hundred thousand years, all must be passed."

"As for the General-level dojo..."

Brother Cheng irritably interrupted him: "Alright, alright, are there other ways?"

This guy detests assessments.

Who qualifies to assess him?

He feels it depreciates his status.

810 assessments, really?

Even if Ji Cang, the Great Chief, went easy on him and counted each assessment as a pass directly, it would still be once every hundred thousand years!

This goes on for millions and tens of millions of years, how could he wait that long?

Even a few hundred years would exhaust his patience.

Venerable Cang Luo felt utterly helpless—he's just too demanding.

"Then there's only the final way: enter the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm, clear it, and you can immediately be recruited as an Immortal Official beyond standards."

"Oh wow, why didn't you mention this shortcut earlier?"

Not only did Jiang Cheng perk up, but Qiu Yuxuan next to him was intrigued as well.

She was very interested in this approach too.

"This isn't a shortcut; it's more like a dead-end road!"

Venerable Cang Luo looked solemn: "The Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm was laid down by the Ten Celestial Emperors using the combined power of ten Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures, reportedly testing not power."

"Only those with world-shattering talent, protected by Heavenly Dao, have a slim chance to clear it."

Brother Cheng shrugged off the warning, "Am I not world-shattering?"

"You certainly are, but since the appearance of the Heaven-Ascending Secret Realm, at least a hundred million have entered."

"Among them, some are the world-shattering talents of Emperor-level dojos, already with great hope of becoming Immortal Officials."

"Some are already Supremes, merely challenging their limits."

"Others have even become Immortal Officials, just for the exploration of the Celestial Emperor's Secret Realm..."

Listening up to this point, Qiu Yuxuan couldn't help but ask.

"What became of them?"

Venerable Cang Luo said grimly, "Among those hundred million... only three have survived out."

Gasp!

Even for someone as proud as Qiu Yuxuan, this revelation made her catch her breath.

That vast number, mostly world-shattering talents, dragons and phoenixes among people, only three succeeded.

Is this still considered a test? It's undoubtedly a dead-end!
