Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1070 - 1070: Must Be the Captain

Entering the registration hall, it was bustling like a marketplace.Immortals could be seen everywhere, either alone, in pairs, or in groups.

Those standing aloof with swords in hand clearly displayed the demeanor of experts.

Such individuals were often surrounded by crowds trying to recruit them into teams.

Shouts could be heard rising and falling inside.

"Come join us; led by Emperor Realm Eighth Layer!"

"The Zhan Zun Team is recruiting powerful experts at Emperor Realm Ninth Layer; our team has slain a Venerable Evil Immortal!"

"Your team is full of Emperor Realm Eighth Layers, yet you shamelessly recruit Emperor Realm Ninth Layer? That time you slew the Venerable Evil Immortal, you were just picking up scraps."

"Bah, and what about you guys?"

"Established strong team Shankong Team; seven team battles against Evil Immortals without a single fallen record; join us now."

"Your Shankong Team always hides at the back and comes back empty-handed, of course without a fallen record..."

Brother Cheng listened with twitching lips, feeling a sense of déjà vu as if dreaming back to his past life.

As he entered, several people quickly came up to him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you Emperor Realm Eighth Layer?"

"Would you like to join our team, Fellow Daoist?"

"Please have a look at us, mighty one..."

Those with not lower cultivation could discern his realm.

An Emperor Realm Eighth Layer counted as a powerful expert here, highly sought after.

Those with lower cultivation couldn't gauge his depth, naturally realizing he was someone to rely on as a pillar.

Among the teams wooing him, there were a few quite strong.

"Our Golden Tiger Team is entirely Emperor Realm Eighth Layer; we need elite experts like you, Fellow Daoist!"

Brother Cheng said eagerly, "Can your Golden Tiger Team make me captain?"

The Golden Tiger Team captain's face froze slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, are you mocking us?"

Though there's no extra reward for being captain, it's still a position where one frequently meets and interacts with the Celestial Palace's Immortal Officials.

Once familiar, the significance is substantial.

Not to mention, he didn't even know Jiang Cheng's name, how could he immediately appoint him captain?

Seeing his disagreement, Brother Cheng could only shrug, "No deal then."

He's impossible to subordinate, he must be captain.

He subsequently rejected several strong same-realm teams with the same reason.

Nearby immortals began to grumble.

"What's this guy's deal?"

"He's Emperor Realm Eighth Layer like us, what's he got to be arrogant about?"

"Does he think we're inferior to him?"

"Wanting to be captain, is he famous?"

"Never seen him around."

"Right off the bat wanting to be captain, who does he think he is?"

To their discussions, Brother Cheng turned a deaf ear, uninterested in responding.

The pressure was high for Lai Ping, following closely behind.

Mighty one, even if rejecting others, use another excuse.

Why use such an arrogant reason like wanting to be captain?

It can invisibly offend many!

The two squeezed through the crowd to the registration queue.

As long as they registered here, the team would be officially formed.

Once there were more than five people, they could head to the front lines to fight Evil Immortals for Celestial Dao Points.

However, Brother Cheng was more interested in the spoils from killing Evil Immortals.

"Hope those Evil Immortals are wealthy."

With this thought, he handed over his Identity Jade Talisman at the registration booth.

The Ninth-grade Immortal Official responsible took it, was surprised, quickly stood up and cupped his hands.

"So it's an Upper Court Immortal from King Jia's Dojo, I'm honored!"

Not just him, but those observing from behind, as well as previous teams who criticized him, were all shocked.

"This person is from King-level Dojo's Upper Court Immortals?"

"Oh my, that's extraordinary!"

"To enter a King-level Dojo, one must be a top genius, and to become an Upper Court Immortal, truly a genius among geniuses!"

Exceptional geniuses often possess special methods, endless trump cards, or unique constitutions and divine souls, making challenges surpassing their level not uncommon.

Their combat power often far exceeds ordinary immortals of the same tier.

"Though this person is Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, he might actually possess Emperor Realm Ninth Layer combat powers!"

"Indeed, no wonder he insisted on being captain."

"Turns out he truly has the qualification."

Lai Ping, following Brother Cheng closely, felt like winning a prize that turned out to be ten times bigger than expected.

So excited his mouth couldn't close.

Accidentally, he'd clung onto a peerless genius's thigh.

Seems like this time, he really might gain hundreds of Celestial Dao Points.

The Golden Tiger Team and other Emperor Realm Eighth Layer teams who previously disagreed to make Jiang Cheng captain quickly gathered around.

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, we're willing to let you be captain."

"Yes, yes, we're eager to follow your command."

"Fellow Daoist, think about us again, captain's no problem..."

It's a joke, even a Lower Court Immortal of King-level Dojo would be much stronger than them.

This time, Brother Cheng was no longer interested.

"Forget about it, I don't want to put you in a tough spot."

All the captains hurriedly waved: "It's no trouble, no trouble..."

"No, no, no, that would be humiliating you, how can I do such a thing?"

"No humiliation, no humiliation, we were just joking."

"Forget it, forget it, the position of captain is too important to be casually offered. Let's not mention it again!"

Brother Cheng adamantly refused, his attitude firm.

At this moment, another group hurried over.

"You Eighth Layer trash, get out of the way!"

"A genius from King-level Upper Court should certainly join our Ba Yun Team!"

Those addressed as trash were angry, but upon hearing Ba Yun Team, none dared to speak.

They all obediently made way.

Soon, a burly, fair-faced middle-aged man strode to the center.

Behind him, more than thirty people followed.

These more than thirty people were all Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, exuding powerful auras that made the surrounding atmosphere feel heavy.

Ba Yun Team was truly a veteran strong team.

They didn't even need to call for recruits; anyone with some insight would actively want to join them.

The man strode to Brother Cheng.

"I am Venerable Jingding, captain of Ba Yun."

"No need to say how strong our team is, you must have heard."

"Though you're only Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, we don't mind your lower cultivation."

"We can make an exception to accept you, you can follow me now!"

Upon hearing this, many showed envy.

Ba Yun Team had battled hundreds of times, slaying over fifty or sixty Venerable Evil Immortals, even having records of killing Celestial Venerables.

This team was well-known at Venerable Level.

Joining them ensured Celestial Dao Points security.

Each mission typically guaranteed several thousand Celestial Dao Points.

A number unattainable by many immortals even after billions of years of fighting.

After Venerable Jingding finished speaking, he immediately turned, waiting for Jiang Cheng to follow.
