Fame in a Single Battle! Thirty-Ninth on the Qilin Ranking! (4K)

Jiang Yu conceded defeat, and the outcome was no longer in doubt.

As Jiang Yu went down, he glared fiercely at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng stole his Holy Son Position, and he was unwilling to accept it.

But he did lose.

According to the rules of the Taihua Sacred Ground, the one who succeeds in the challenge can become the new Saint, while the one who loses is reduced to Holy Son Candidate.

Holy Son Candidate still have the opportunity to challenge the Saint, but each challenge must be within 10,000 years.

"I didn't expect that the Longevity Daoist would become Saint so soon after joining our Taihua Sacred Ground?"

"Will the Longevity Daoist take charge of the Holy Land in the future?"

"That's hard to say. Longevity Daoist defeated Jiang Yu, who was ranked ninety-seventh on the Qilin Ranking, when he was already at the Golden Immortal Realm. If Longevity Daoist reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm, he might be able to break into the top ten on the Qilin Ranking."

"Wow, the top ten of the Qilin Ranking... I can't even imagine."

"In the final year of the Qilin Ranking, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang entered the top ten and was considered the most likely successor to the Sacred Lord. Could it be that the Sacred Lord is planning to cultivate a new successor?"

The Elders and disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground looked at Lu Changsheng with eyes full of envy and admiration.

Lu Changsheng, an outsider, has become Saint after only a little over ten thousand years in the Taihua Sacred Ground. What kind of wish-fulfillment novel protagonist script is this?

Lu Changsheng put away the Dragon-Tiger Emperor Seal, his mood still somewhat fluctuating.

Once Lu Changsheng becomes Saint and cultivates to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he can go to the higher levels of the Scripture Repository and Treasure Pavilion to exchange for the unique Taihua Sacred Ground's Secret Art. Lin Xuantong can also teach Lu Changsheng some Secret Art that are not to be passed on to outsiders, in accordance with the rules of the Holy Land.

"Well done."

Lin Xuantong nodded in approval.

Lu Changsheng's talent reminded him of his younger self.

Lin Xuantong was once full of vigor and looked down on all Heavenly Prodigy, trampling them underfoot, which is how he achieved his current status.

Congratulations, Longevity Daoist!

Everyone from the Taihua Sacred Ground offered their congratulations to Lu Changsheng.

Once Saint becomes Immortal Emperor, his status is even higher than that of Grand Supreme Elders.

Saint of the Immortal Emperor Realm is being groomed as the next Sacred Lord.

Lu Changsheng bowed in response to each of them, eager to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

"Jiang Yu, you've been demoted to Holy Son Candidate, but it's not entirely hopeless for you to reclaim the Holy Son Position. Even the most talented person can fall before they become invincible. The Immortal Emperor Qingyang was once unparalleled among the younger generation of our Taihua Sacred Ground, but he still disappeared without a trace. Therefore, you must not be complacent."

After taking Jiang Yu away, Jiang Hong gave him a lecture.

Jiang Yu clenched his fist. "Don't worry, Ancestor, I won't let you down."

"From now on, every year you come to the Rear Mountain to find me, and I will guide you in your cultivation for a period of time. Your future achievements will not be too bad."

Jiang Hong has a high opinion of this younger generation in the Lineage.

If Lu Changsheng hadn't suddenly appeared, Jiang Yu would have been the chosen one for the Saint.

Jiang Yu's ability to rank among the top 100 on the Qilin Ranking shows that he has potential worth cultivating.

"Thank you, Ancestor."

In his despair, Jiang Yu was overjoyed to hear that the ancestor would give him guidance every year.

This Jiang Clan Ancestor was of a higher generation than Lin Xuantong.

With his guidance in cultivation, Jiang Yu will not be surpassed by Lu Changsheng by too much.

As long as Jiang Yu cultivates diligently, he will be able to get his revenge sooner or later.

"Xuantong, your disciple is quite good. Nurture him well."

The elders were very satisfied with Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng has shown them many surprises and is expected to become a pillar of the Taihua Sacred Ground in the future.

A Peerless Genius is far too important to the Holy Land.

For a Holy Land that has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, the most dangerous thing would be if there were no successors among the younger generation of geniuses.

Lin Xuantong only had two daughters. His two most talented Disciples, Immortal Emperor Qingyang and Lu Changsheng, both came from outside the Holy Land. Immortal Emperor Qingyang even married into the Lin family.

One of the elders whispered, "However, this boy's ability to so easily obtain Emperor Weapons and a large quantity of rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Body Tempering suggests he's not as simple as he seems. What if he's from the Demon Realm... after all, that incident happened back then."

The other elders' expressions changed upon hearing about the Demon Realm.

Lin Xuantong said, "This person did indeed Ascension from Small World, and there are no signs of possession. He cannot be from the Demon Realm. My judgment is accurate."

The Household Ancestor Lin said, "You don't need to worry too much. That matter back then involved that person from the Demon Realm... Now, given his status, he would never act recklessly."

"The will of Heaven has changed, and our Taihua Sacred Ground is no exception. A few of us old fellows need to return to seclusion to improve our cultivation. Xuantong, I'm entrusting all matters, big and small, of the Holy Land to you."

"Yes."

Lin Xuantong that the elders were still trying to break through to a higher realm.

These patriarchs are the pillars of the Taihua Sacred Ground. It is precisely because of their presence that no one dares to invade the Taihua Sacred Ground Holy Land.

But the patriarchs were still pursuing even higher realms.

If it weren't for watching the battle for the Saint, the elders wouldn't have easily emerged from seclusion.

The news of Lu Changsheng becoming the Taihua Saint spread like wildfire, and the other Holy Lands all knew that a Peerless Genius had appeared in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

This Peerless Genius defeated the former Saint, who was at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, while still at the Golden Immortal Realm.

In the Kunlun Forbidden Ground, at the Purple Void Palace, a Grand Supreme Elders dressed in a gray Daoist Robe was deep in thought, his brow furrowed in worry. Before him lay a scroll with the words "Qilin Ranking" at the beginning.

Another Elder from the Kunlun Holy Land asked curiously, "Chongxu, what's wrong?"

The Daoist known as Chongxu looked troubled. "The Holy Land entrusted me with compiling the Qilin Ranking, but for a moment, I have no idea how to rank the new Saint of the Taihua Sacred Ground."

"Oh? The Taihua Sacred Ground has changed its Saint?"

"The new Saint of Taihua Sacred Ground is Lin Xuantong's newly accepted Personal Disciple. He defeated Jiang Yu was originally ranked ninety-seventh on the Qilin Ranking, at the Nine-Layer Golden Immortal. My concern is that since this young man is so extraordinary at the Golden Immortal Realm, his talent is expected to enter the top ten of the Qilin Ranking in the future. Ranking him too high would not reflect his potential. Moreover, he is estimated to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm soon, and his strength will increase to another level. But he is currently only a Golden Immortal. Ranking him ahead of a group of Quasi-Emperors or even Immortal Emperors will definitely make those ahead of him unhappy, and they will suspect that the Qilin Ranking is inflated."

Daoist Chongxu hesitated.

All the major Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan regard the Kunlun Holy Land's Qilin Ranking as a sacred list for measuring the potential of the younger generation of geniuses in their Holy Lands, and it is highly regarded.

Every time the Qilin Ranking changes, the Kunlun Holy Land must think twice before acting.

"Golden Immortal Realm defeating Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

"Such a genius has actually emerged from the Taihua Sacred Ground!"

"I thought that after Qingyang disappeared, the Taihua Sacred Ground had no one to follow in his footsteps and no particularly outstanding geniuses. I didn't expect Lin Xuantong to be so lucky. He took in a disciple with even higher aptitude and a daughter who is good at crafting Law Treasure."

The Elders of the Kunlun Holy Land discussed the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"My fellow disciples, please give me a solution!"

Daoist Chongxu was still frowning.

"It's just the Qilin Ranking, isn't it? You decide."

The other Kunlun Grand Supreme Elders rolled their eyes at Daoist Chongxu.

Daoist Chongxu had no choice but to rank Lu Changsheng thirty-ninth.

The update to the Qilin Ranking caused an uproar in all the major Holy Lands.

With his Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, Lu Changsheng climbed from 461st on the Qilin Ranking to 39th!

Under normal circumstances, the Qilin Ranking is relatively conservative and won't raise someone's ranking so high just because of a single competition. Lu Changsheng's victory over Jiang Yu, who is ranked ninety-seventh, would likely place him around ninetyth.

However, Daoist Chongxu, the Grand Supreme Elders of Kunlun Holy Land in charge of the Qilin Ranking, claimed that Lu Changsheng's ranking was based on Lu Changsheng potential, and that it was not a result of his laziness or arbitrary arrangement.

In an instant, all the major Holy Land became envious.

The most talented young Immortal Emperor of the Taihua Sacred Ground, Immortal Emperor Qingyang, disappeared without a trace four million years ago. The Taihua Sacred Ground may lack a peerless Immortal Emperor in the future, but Lu Changsheng has emerged out of nowhere and filled this gap.

The status of Taihua Sacred Ground among all the Holy Lands will not decline; on the contrary, it may rise in the future.

Of course, Lu Changsheng cannot perish halfway through.

Upon hearing that the new Saint of Yaochi Holy Land Taihua Sacred Ground was ranked 39th on the Qilin Ranking and was also a Golden Immortal, Liu Mufeng was somewhat surprised.

Lu Changsheng was Dugu Aotian's master, and he knew this.

"This young man is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that he has already seen through Dugu Aotian's background, which is why he took Dugu Aotian as his Disciple? If so, then what is this person's background?"

Liu Mufeng was completely baffled.

Dugu Aotian's background is not simple, but Lu Changsheng, who took Dugu Aotian as his Disciple, is even more extraordinary.

Liu Mufeng attempted to deduce Lu Changsheng's origins.

His understanding of the Time Principle far surpasses that of Lu Changsheng, who is at the Golden Immortal Realm. Lu Changsheng should not be able to conceal his Fortune in the face of his Divine Ability.

Using the Cause and Effect relationship with Dugu Aotian, Liu Mufeng then deduced the fate of Dugu Aotian's master, Lu Changsheng.

After a long while, Liu Mufeng's Daoist Daoist Robe was soaked with sweat. He opened his eyes in horror. "This is truly strange. How can this person's destiny be completely blank? With my understanding of the Time Principle, I cannot even calculate his past and future."

Liu Mufeng felt as if he had seen a ghost.

He could deduce Dugu Aotian's Fortune, but he couldn't deduce Lu Changsheng's Fortune?

It should be noted that Dugu Aotian's father was a peerless Great Demon who made even the Holy Land tremble. He secretly helped Dugu Aotian conceal his Fortune, but Liu Mufeng could still deduce Dugu Aotian's origins based on some Cause and Effect.

"Lin Xuantong couldn't conceal his Fortune, and he was also impossible for me to deduce. Could there be another powerful figure behind him?"

Liu Mufeng broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he didn't know why Lu Changsheng's fate was blank, he believed that Great Expert must have helped Lu Changsheng conceal his Fortune.

Not only Liu Mufeng, but also the peerless experts from other Holy Lands, while shocked by Lu Changsheng's leap to the thirty-ninth place on the Qilin Ranking, all tried to deduce Lu Changsheng's origins.

However, these unparalleled masters gained nothing.

Like Liu Mufeng, they believed that Lu Changsheng had Great Expert behind him helping Lu Changsheng cover up his fate.

"Lin Xuantong is really lucky; I don't know where he found such an extraordinary disciple. However, I recently took in a disciple with good potential as well. If we can develop his potential, he might not be inferior to Lin Xuantong's disciple."

In a certain Holy Land, a Sacred Lord with a cultivation level similar to Lin Xuantong was pondering whether Lin Xuantong or his disciple was more heaven-defying.

He and Lin Xuantong have been rivals since they were young, and they remain rivals now.

He summoned a young disciple. "Disciple, an ancestor is nearing the end of his life. He has decided to seal his life's power within you to unlock your potential."

"Is there still room for improvement in my Special Physique?"

"Indeed, your Myriad Desolations Indestructible Body is extraordinary, it just hasn't been fully developed. As long as you inherit the ancestor's lifelong power, you may surpass your master in the future."

The Sacred Lord looked at his newly accepted disciple with satisfaction.

The Myriad Desolations Indestructible Body Special Physique that is extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm. Once it is truly mastered, it is known as the Undying Body.

"This is the Qilin Ranking of the Kunlun Holy Land, recording all known young geniuses. The higher the ranking, the more monstrous their talent. Your goal is to surpass this guy ranked thirty-ninth. He is Lin Xuantong's disciple. Lin Xuantong had some past grievances with me, and I don't want my Disciple to lose to him. Last time, your Senior Brother lost to Lin Xuantong's Eldest Disciple, Qingyang. I hope you can avenge me."

The disciple accepted the Qilin Ranking, and when he saw Lu Changsheng's name ranked thirty-ninth, he froze on the spot, his eyes widening. "Junior Brother Lu?!"

"Changye, do you know him?"

This Sacred Lord was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, his disciple and Lin Xuantong's disciple were old acquaintances.

In the Guanghan Holy Land, Xia Ningxue obediently squatted under a cassia tree, feeding several spirit rabbits.

A slender figure descended, Immortal Sword, guided by its surroundings, returned to its sheath.

"Third Senior Sister?"

"Your husband is famous now."

The third Senior Sister took out the Qilin Ranking and pointed to Lu Changsheng's name on the list.

"That's only natural."

Xia Ningxue wasn't too surprised.

She knew all too well how terrifying Lu Changsheng's talent was.

To put it simply, all the reason so many people from Mount Shu were able to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm is thanks to Lu Changsheng.

Even Xia Ningxue's current cultivation level is partly due to her cultivation of the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art" with Lu Changsheng.

"It seems that in our junior sister's eyes, her husband is omnipotent."

The third Senior Sister was surprised by Xia Ningxue's calmness, as if Xia Ningxue didn't find it surprising that Lu Changsheng ranked first on the Qilin Ranking.

Third Senior Sister thought of something, "With the Ancestor passing on her skills to you, and her plans to impart all her life's work to you after you reach the Immortal Emperor, Junior Sister, you'll definitely be able to enter the Qilin Ranking. How long are you still away from the Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

"Anytime is fine."

Xia Ningxue's eyes were bright; her aura had already reached the peak of the Nine-Layer Golden Immortal.

After the battle for the Saint ended, Lu Changsheng went into seclusion to digest the insights he gained from his fight with Jiang Yu, preparing to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.

Only by becoming a true Immortal Emperor will Lu Changsheng be qualified to obtain higher-level access to the Treasure Pavilion and the Scripture Repository.

Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
