The Qilin Ranking! The Contest for Holy Son Begins! (4K)

Taking advantage of the man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe on his head being distracted, the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord transformed into a ball of Devil Qi and attempted to escape.

He knew he was no match for this man.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

The man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe took out a Treasure Bottle. The bottle was only black and white, and there was an Eight Trigrams pattern in the middle of the bottle.

The man's lips moved, and he chanted Mnemonic. Black and white energies surged from the bottle, moving with lightning speed, catching up with the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord.

The Ancient Corpse Devil Lord unleashed his Devil Cultivation Method, struggling desperately, but it was as if he were trapped in Marsh, unable to escape.

The black and white energies trapped the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord, forcibly taking him into the Treasure Bottle.

Dugu Aotian and the people from Yaochi Holy Land and Blood Sea Hall were dumbfounded.

The once arrogant Ancient Corpse Devil Lord was actually subdued by this suddenly appearing man in Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe with Law Treasure.

"The quality of this Law Treasure far surpasses that of Sacred Artifact; it should be Emperor Weapon."

Dugu Aotian suspected that the Treasure Bottle in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe was an Emperor Weapon, otherwise it would not have been able to easily trap the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord.

The disciples of the Blood Sea Hall fled in disarray; without the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord, they were all wiped out by the Yaochi Holy Land.

You haven't answered my question yet.

Compared to the captured Ancient Corpse Devil Lord, the man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe was more interested in Dugu Aotian, speaking in a cold tone.

Dugu Aotian knew that if he answered even slightly carelessly, he might be killed by the man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe with a single palm strike.

He sensed the other party's murderous intent.

Liu Yiyi said from the side, "Father, although he cultivates Demon Sects Cultivation Method, it's just that his physique is suitable for cultivating Devil Cultivation Method. He hasn't done anything evil, and his master is also a good person."

The man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe frowned and began to calculate with his fingers.

The further he calculated, the more internal True Qi he expended, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Could it be that you are...?"

The man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe seemed to have figured out Dugu Aotian's origins. He was greatly surprised, his expression shifting between different emotions.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Liu Yiyi had never seen the man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robes show such surprise and confusion.

"Nothing."

The man rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He had several murderous thoughts, but then gave up, seemingly struggling with whether or not to kill Dugu Aotian.

Finally, the man seemed relieved and sighed, "Perhaps it's the Unseen; I cannot kill you."

Dugu Aotian was completely bewildered. Why was this person a riddle teller?

"Left Envoy Liu, it's fortunate you came in person, otherwise I would have been killed by the Ancient Corpse Devil Lord."

The Daoist Tiancheng, severely injured, crawled out from underground and saw the man in the Eight-Trigram Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe, and was filled with fear and trepidation.

The man known as Left Envoy Liu said with his hands behind his back, "The Ancient Corpse Devil Lord once killed Elder of our Yaochi Holy Land and went into hiding. Meeting me today can be considered revenge for the deceased Elder."

"Are you Liu Mufeng from the Yaochi Holy Land?"

Dugu Aotian recognized the other party's identity.

Liu Mufeng is one of the top experts in the Yaochi Holy Land, with unfathomable cultivation.

"Kid, you know me too? Did your dad or your mom tell you?"

"My master is a candidate for the Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son; I learned this from him."

Dugu Aotian knew that the Taihua Sacred Ground and the Yaochi Holy Land had a good relationship. Since Liu Mufeng was the Left Envoy of the Yaochi Holy Land, he should also know about the situation of the Taihua Sacred Ground. Even if he revealed his master's identity, it would not be detrimental to his master.

"Oh?"

Liu Mufeng looked Dugu Aotian up and down, and suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the little guy.

Dugu Aotian did not possess the Evil Qi of the Demon Sects, and by chance, he became the disciple of Taihua Sacred Ground's Sacred Son.

"I heard that Lin Xuantong of the Taihua Sacred Ground recently made an exception and accepted a Personal Disciple. Could that Personal Disciple be your master?"

"He is indeed my teacher."

"Since you've turned to the righteous path, that's fine; otherwise, I would have definitely killed you."

"My mother taught me from a young age to always be kind, and I've never forgotten that. My master also taught me to be chivalrous and righteous."

"Not bad, very good. What kind of person is your mother?"

Liu Mufeng and Dugu Aotian chatted away, completely abandoning their previous intention to kill Dugu Aotian.

Liu Yiyi and Daoist Tiancheng were both dumbfounded.

Liu Mufeng holds an extremely high position in the Yaochi Holy Land, second only to the Yaochi Holy Mother and the Ancestors, yet he was having a pleasant conversation with Dugu Aotian, a junior?

"What's wrong with Dad?"

Liu Yiyi was completely baffled.

Not long ago, Liu Mufeng wanted to kill Dugu Aotian, but after a while, Liu Mufeng seemed to have begun to appreciate this junior.

"So it was your master who arranged for you to go down the mountain for training. Yiyi has been cultivating in the Yaochi Holy Land for many years and lacks experience in the martial world. Here, you can take her with you."

"Father?"

Liu Yiyi protested. Liu Mufeng hadn't even asked for her permission before letting her and Dugu Aotian go out for training. Was this her real father?

"I've calculated your Fortune; this journey shouldn't be dangerous. If you stay in the Yaochi Holy Land, your parents can naturally protect you, but you are the Saintess of our Yaochi Holy Land, and you may one day take charge of Yaochi Holy Land. You should still venture out and explore while you're young."

Liu Mufeng patted his daughter's head, and just like that, he sold her.

Liu Yiyi was helpless.

Unlike the Taihua Sacred Ground, where the vast majority of Sacred Lords have been Saint, the Yaochi Holy Land is predominantly Saintess, with females holding sway over the Holy Land.

If the Saintess lacks experience, she will lack judgment should something happen to the Holy Land.

Liu Yiyi had no choice but to travel around with Dugu Aotian to improve her ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Liu Mufeng and Daoist Tiancheng then led the people of Yaochi Holy Land back to Yaochi Holy Land.

Spring comes and autumn goes, and before we know it, more than two thousand years have passed.

At Yuntai Peak, in Lu Changsheng's cave abode, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged in the Medicinal Pool, the pure medicinal power flowing into his meridians, tempering his internal organs, muscles, bones, and flesh.

The Innate Dao Body absorbed all the medicinal power, leaving not even a drop behind, and the azure light shone brightly.

Influenced by the azure light phenomenon, all things on Yuntai Peak are growing and thriving.

"Having cultivated the Azure Emperor Longevity Art to the Eighth Layer of perfection, my physical strength has surpassed that of Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact, falling somewhere between Emperor Weapon and Sacred Artifact."

Lu Changsheng finished his cultivation.

He used these three thousand years to cultivate the "Azure Emperor Longevity Art" from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer.

The Seventh Layer the Great Perfection, and the physique is comparable to Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact.

The Eighth Layer the Great Perfection, and the physique is between that of Emperor Weapon and Sacred Artifact.

In theory, Lu Changsheng's current physique can withstand any attack from Sacred Artifact without dying.

Of course, it depends on who is using the Sacred Artifact.

If it were someone like Lin Xuantong, he could kill Lu Changsheng with his bare hands, let alone using Sacred Artifact.

However, that should be enough to deal with Jiang Yu.

Lu Changsheng also cultivated the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" to the Seventh Layer, the "Eternal Sacred Canon" to the Eighth Layer, and the "Divine King Sword Scripture" to the Great Perfection.

In his spare time, Lu Changsheng would also guide Tang Ling’er, Shangguan Zhao'er, Zhao Wuyan, and Daoist Tuquan in their cultivation.

Lu Qinglian, Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, Su Xiaoqi, and Chen Yi, among other disciples, returned one after another, but Dugu Aotian was the only one who had not yet returned to the sect on time.

Chen Yi asked worriedly, "Could something have happened to my senior brother?"

"Don't worry, it's probably just that something happened along the way that caused the delay."

Lu Changsheng has Apprentice-Teaching Simulator that can simulate the lives of his disciples, and he knows that Dugu Aotian escaped unscathed.

Several disciples went down the mountain to gain experience, do good deeds and accumulate merit. The Merit returned by the system allowed the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to grow to the Seventeenth Stage.

The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda requires 10 billion Merits to go from its 27th to its 28th floor.

Even though Lu Changsheng has many disciples, he cannot accumulate 10 billion Merits in a short period of time.

The twenty-seven-story Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is of quality equivalent to half Low-Grade Emperor Weapon.

Lu Changsheng made several preparations for the competition for the Saint, determined to win.

Becoming Saint allows one to learn the secret Supreme Lore of the Taihua Sacred Ground. Once one becomes Immortal Emperor, one can also access higher levels of the Scripture Repository and Treasure Pavilion.

"I should head to the Main Peak now."

Lu Changsheng set off with several disciples.

The battle for the Saint takes place on the Main Peak, and is fair and open, with all Elders and disciples allowed to spectate.

The victor is the Saint.

For a time, the battle for the Saint became the focus of everyone in the Taihua Sacred Ground, with Elders and disciples arriving at the Martial Arena ahead of time.

Such a grand event Candidate Saint challenging the Saint is rare.

The Main Peak of Taihua Sacred Ground was packed with people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

"I heard that the Candidate Saint, the Longevity Daoist, is only Nine-Layer Golden Immortal. I didn't expect him to challenge the Saint so soon."

Who do you think will win?

"I still favor Jiang Yu. The difference between Nine-Layer Golden Immortal and Quasi-Emperor Realm is only one realm, but the gap is vast, like heaven and earth."

"If I were the Longevity Daoist, I would at least strive to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm before I would have a chance to challenge the Saint."

"I bet a Fourteenth-Grade Immortal Pill that the Longevity Daoist will win."

"Then this Immortal Pill will be mine. Jiang Yu's strength is evident to all. Twenty thousand years ago, Jiang Yu killed a Demon was also at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and his fame spread far and wide. After that battle, Jiang Yu ranked ninety-seventh on the Qilin Ranking in the Immortal Realm's Holy Land."

"Are you referring to the Qilin Ranking, recorded in the Kunlun Holy Land, which ranks the strength of all the peerless geniuses in the Immortal Realm Peerless Genius who have cultivated for less than 500,000 years?"

"That's right, it's the Qilin Ranking of the Kunlun Holy Land. Anyone who makes it onto the Qilin Ranking has the potential to become Immortal Emperor, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

What is our Holy Maiden's ranking?

"The Holy Maiden is ranked seventy-second on the Qilin Ranking."

"What? The Holy Maiden is already the number one genius of the younger generation in our Taihua Sacred Ground, yet she's only ranked seventy-second?"

"The Immortal Realm has numerous sacred lands, many powerful cultivation families, and countless independent immortal sects. For the Holy Maiden to rank seventy-second after 300,000 years of cultivation is already quite impressive. Keep in mind that those ranked ahead of her are either monstrous geniuses of heaven-defying stature or unparalleled geniuses who have cultivated for over 400,000 years. Jiang Yu, after over 400,000 years of cultivation, is still ranked lower than the Holy Maiden."

"Where does the Longevity Daoist rank on the Qilin Ranking?"

"The Longevity Daoist is ranked 461st."

The people of Taihua Sacred Ground whispered among themselves, and one of the Elders mentioned the Qilin Ranking and spoke eloquently about it.

The Qilin Ranking is a ranking list released by the Kunlun Holy Land every thousand years. It records only the young generation of geniuses who have cultivated for less than 500,000 years and is a list to measure the strength and aptitude of young geniuses.

The top 500 on the Qilin Ranking are mostly from various Holy Lands and Cultivation Aristocratic Clan.

There are also holy Saint and Saintess of Holy Lands who are unable to enter the Qilin Ranking because they have not cultivated for long enough or have not yet appeared, such as Liu Yiyi of Yaochi Holy Land.

However, the Qilin Ranking only records young talents who have cultivated for less than 500,000 years. Without a doubt, those who can enter the top 500 are geniuses among geniuses in the Immortal Realm.

Currently, only two people from the Taihua Sacred Ground have entered the top 100 of the Qilin Ranking: Lin Qinghan, ranked 72nd, Jiang Yu, ranked 97th.

Jiang Yu has been cultivating for longer than Lin Qinghan, but because Lin Qinghan has higher aptitude and strength, she ranks higher than Jiang Yu.

However, being qualified to rank among the top 100 on the Qilin Ranking is enough to demonstrate Jiang Yu's true strength.

The ranking of the Qilin Ranking in the Kunlun Holy Land is relatively objective. Its biggest drawback is that geniuses who have not demonstrated their strength to the world will not be included on the list.

Even geniuses from the Demon Sects won't be included in the Qilin Ranking.

Lu Changsheng killed the World-Overturning King and the Divine Ape King, and then fought against the Great Freedom Buddha. His strength was assessed as the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, but not Quasi-Emperor Realm.

The difference between the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Golden Immortal Realm is like heaven and earth, and the Qilin Ranking is full of Peerless Genius, so it is basically impossible for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to break into the top 500.

The immortal Immortal Realm is never short of Peerless Genius.

Lu Changsheng's ranking of 461st was also due to his acceptance as a disciple by Lin Xuantong. As a result, the Grand Supreme Elders of Kunlun Holy Land, who was in charge of rankings, moved Lu Changsheng's ranking up to the top 500.

When the Taihua Sacred Lord, Lin Xuantong, arrived with a group of Grand Supreme Elders, the many Elders and disciples immediately quieted down.

Lin Xuantong's cultivation was extraordinary, and he was in charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground; no one dared to disobey him.

Arriving at the same time as Lin Xuantong were the Guardian and Grand Supreme Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground. These people were likely former Saint, Saintess, Holy Son Candidate, Saintess Candidate, or even Lin Xuantong's junior brothers, junior sisters, and disciples.

An Immortal Maiden said to Lin Xuantong, "The 97th ranked Qilin Ranking is fighting the 461st ranked Qilin Ranking. It seems the former has a higher probability of winning. Senior brother, what do you think?"

Lin Xuantong replied calmly, "The Qilin Ranking of the Kunlun Holy Land is quite prestigious, but the Qilin Rankings are only updated after a fight takes place. In other words, the Qilin Ranking is outdated. If my Disciple defeats Jiang Yu, he might be able to break into the Top Eight the Qilin Ranking."

"It seems that Senior Brother has great confidence in his Disciple."

"That's for sure. He hasn't been cultivating for very long yet; he might even make it into the top ten of the Qilin Ranking in the future."

"Top ten on the Qilin Ranking..."

The Grand Supreme Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground looked at each other in bewilderment.

With Lin Qinghan's qualifications, she is currently only ranked seventy-second on the Qilin Ranking.

Lin Qinghan still has room for improvement. If she becomes Immortal Emperor, she might be able to rank among the top thirty, or even the Top Two.

As for the top ten on the Qilin Ranking, they are all freaks. They have only been cultivating for a short time, yet they have already become Immortal Emperors, and their cultivation is still advancing by leaps and bounds.

Even if Lin Qinghan reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm, she may not have a chance to enter the top ten.

He was a true Peerless Genius among Peerless Genius, beyond reproach.

Lin Xuantong's junior sister narrowed her eyes, seemingly pondering something from long ago. "Senior brother, what was your highest ranking on the Qilin Ranking back then?"

"Not high, only second."
