Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 653: My Master of Speed?

For over a decade, Brother Cheng's realm of profound power hadn't budged, staying at the Extreme Profound Realm First Layer.

The various palace masters didn't know what to make of this.

If you say he's highly talented, this upgrade speed is painfully slow.

If you say he lacks talent, he can still use a whole set of ultimate level profound techniques.

Moreover, during that assessment, he even managed to injure someone in the Earth Profound Realm.

He can only be regarded as a true marvel.

They weren't aware that Sage Jiang not only possessed 1,000 types of profound patterns, but had also cultivated most of them to the sixth layer, comparable to the Emperor Profound Realm.

Currently, he's only got the last dozen or so profound patterns left.

Once he's done, he can directly level up to the upper layer.

At the Descent Spirit Platform, he finally chose the Speed's Profound Pattern.

The reason for choosing this pattern so late was simple; his speed rule brand reached late-stage Quasi-Emperor early on.

The need for understanding the rule wasn't as urgent as the other brands.

After repeating the process more than 900 times, his mind was now as still as water, without any feeling.

After dying once more, he successfully acquired the Speed's Profound Pattern.

Then came the smooth Spirit Attachment process, and the quality of the pattern rose rapidly to Purple Gold Quality.

However, at this moment, a sudden mutation occurred.

On what was once a speed and soon-to-be set speed pattern, a ray of light flashed, followed by an illusory dragon apparition appearing before Brother Cheng.

It was an Azure Dragon, shrunk countless times.

The silver-white and pale blue body gleamed brilliantly, and while it was only an illusion, each scale shimmered with an awe-inspiring aura.

Its eyes were a mix of cunning liveliness and ancient vastness, making it unforgettable.

And on its proud back, there were several prominent purple lines.

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed nine!

"You're alive again?"

Brother Cheng immediately reacted.

Besides himself, the other Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon in the world was the Azure Dragon Empress!

How could she appear in form now?

That's simply unbelievable!

Cang Ling was now left with only a lingering thought; if she wasn't attached to him, she would've dissipated into the world long ago.

Her true body, however, was devoured by the Heart of the Speed Rule over in the Immortal Realm.

There was only one solution: for Brother Cheng to become the Master of Speed in the future, and then rescue her through inside and outside collaboration.

He had originally thought it wouldn't happen until he returned to the Immortal Realm and took down the Void Splitting Demon Emperor.

Could it be happening earlier now?

"I…"

The pleasant female voice of the dragon apparition had just uttered one word before being drawn away by a mysterious force. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

And then it vanished from Brother Cheng's sight.

"No way?"

Now Sect Leader Jiang was truly flustered.

He didn't know what had happened.

"Hey, hey, big sis, you're not in trouble, are you?"

The one who accompanied him most closely these years was Cang Ling. The two were almost inseparable, and he didn't want to see her disappear inexplicably.

"Sis, you can't die!"

"Ah, no, if you really died, that would be good. It would make resurrection easier."

"But at least leave a piece of hair so I can perform a resurrection!"

"Stop howling, I'm fine!"

Cang Ling's amused yet annoyed voice suddenly came from within his profound essence.

Brother Cheng was startled, and upon introspecting his profound essence, he found a tiny Azure Dragon insignia on the Speed's Profound Pattern.

"What's going on?"

"I didn't expect that your Speed's Profound Pattern could attract me."

Cang Ling's voice came from the dragon insignia, and as she spoke, the insignia even moved.

"No way, sis, why did you end up there, what on earth happened?"

Cang Ling was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking in an odd tone: "I have gained the recognition of your Speed's Profound Pattern..."

What?

Brother Cheng, who was just very concerned about this sis, suddenly changed attitude.

"What the hell, that's my profound pattern, not yours!"

"I know it's yours..."

"You know it's mine and you're still taking it?"

"I'm not taking it..."

"Then why is my profound pattern recognizing you?"

Cang Ling intentionally irritated him: "Maybe it's because my demeanor is quite unique."

Having been with Brother Cheng for so long, she had also picked up these catchphrases.

This one sentence nearly made Sect Leader Jiang choke.

But with Cang Ling's further explanation, he realized his initial understanding was biased.

The profound pattern is roughly akin to a mini-bankrupt version of a Heart of Rule.

In the Immortal Realm, obtaining the acknowledgment of the Heart of Rule signifies becoming an Immortal, Demon, or Demon Emperor.

They become the embodiment of that rule, able to harness most of the power of that rule.

And this time Cang Ling received the recognition of Brother Cheng's Speed's Profound Pattern...

Therefore, she could also harness the power of his Speed's Profound Pattern.

Of course, since the profound pattern belonged to Jiang Cheng, the true master of the Power of Speed remained Jiang Cheng.

"Wow, what an extraordinary occurrence!"

"Yeah, I find it quite extraordinary too."

Brother Cheng was quite puzzled: "Isn't it said that the profound pattern belongs completely to oneself? How can this power be borrowed like the Heart of Rule?"

Despite practicing ultimate level techniques and profound techniques, Brother Cheng knew a lot about profound patterns.

Before him, no one else had encountered such a thing.

"Maybe it's because the two of us are bound together."

Cang Ling said uncertainly: "It could also be because I'm associated with the Speed Rule, so even the Power of Speed on the Profound Tier can react uniquely to me."

"Or perhaps it's a special effect of the Purple Gold's Profound Pattern."

Brother Cheng could only accept these speculations; it had to be one of the reasons anyway.

This guy has a broad heart and soon saw the bright side.

It didn't matter, after all, Cang Ling was absolutely trustworthy.

Besides, after establishing a connection with the pattern, her voice seemed livelier.

Her state was clearly better than just a lingering thought, which was a good thing.

He touched his chin and suddenly gave a malicious and sly laugh.

"So what's your current situation? Becoming the speed master of my profound pattern? Then doesn't that make you my subordinate?"

"Subordinate your head!"

Cang Ling retorted back with annoyance.

"Your Speed's Profound Pattern's power is too weak, can you level it up quickly? Otherwise, I really have no face."

Brother Cheng teased purposely: "You're borrowing my power, yet you dare speak to me disrespectfully?"

Cang Ling sneered: "Your profound pattern level is too low. There's no power for me to borrow!"

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Despite the banter with this big sis, Brother Cheng internally resolved to upgrade the Speed's Profound Pattern to the Seventh Layer first.

That could greatly benefit this big sis's future resurrection.

"By the way, when you recover and become the Speed Demon Emperor again, I wonder if my profound pattern can gain some benefits."

"Can't you think of anything other than benefits?"

Big Sis Cang Ling wasn't in a splendid mood.

She, once the Azure Dragon Ancestor, one of the top few demon emperors, had now inconceivably become the 'master' of a tiny profound pattern.

She had no status nor prestige.

It's downright embarrassing to even mention it.

"Hurry back and level up!"
