Ambiguity and the Rookie Ranking's Top Spot

The Flame Sea Region.

If we were to name the most prominent sea area in the Chaotic Demon Sea Chaotic Demon Sea right now, it would undoubtedly be the Flame Sea Region. The reason for all of this is the Thunder Hegemony Competition held by the Flame God Palace.

The so-called Thunder Hegemony Competition held by the Flame God Palace this time was extremely grand in the Chaotic Demon Sea, which is enough to demonstrate the powerful appeal of the Flame God Palace.

Of course, the allure of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol was also a major factor. Although many people were quite puzzled that the Flame God Palace would offer such a rare divine object as the Thunder Ancestral Symbol as a prize, it still made countless people's hearts burn with excitement.

For the sake of such a divine object, no matter how deep the waters of this Tournament may be, one must wade through them.

"Third Grandfather, Bro Langtian, and Sister Xinlian's Flame God Palace are really holding Tournament."

On a stretch of sea, a giant whale swiftly glides across the surface. Mu Lingshan sits cross-legged on the whale's back, her large eyes gazing in all directions along this course.

Many enormous ships and various speeding sea creatures could be seen, and they were all heading in the same direction. Clearly, all of these people were heading towards the Flame Sea Region.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled and nodded. The Flame Sea Region had probably become the focal point of the Chaotic Demon Sea. The allure of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol was indeed terrifying.

"But with your current strength, Bro Langtian, you'll definitely win the championship in that Tournament," Mu Lingshan said with a smile, full of confidence.

Lin Langtian stretched and laughed, "We'll see. I'm not that interested in winning the championship."

After all, Lin Langtian knew that the so-called Thunder Ancestral Symbol was just a source of thunder that Mo Luo had taken from the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

The value of a single source of lightning is not worth Lin Langtian fighting over.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinlian frowned slightly. For some reason, she hoped that the Thunder Ancestral Symbol would fall into Lin Langtian's hands, rather than others.

However, considering that Lin Langtian already possessed two great Ancestral Talisman, she felt somewhat relieved. After all, each Ancestral Talisman had the power to seize the heavens and create the world. Her master had already roamed the Chaotic Demon Sea with the Flame Ancestral Symbol, while Lin Langtian possessed the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Talisman, which was unprecedented.

If Lin Langtian were to wield the Thunder Ancestral Symbol and simultaneously control all three Ancestral Talisman, it would be utterly astonishing.

"Hehe, you've got a pretty good attitude about things."

Mu Lan, standing to the side, smiled with some surprise at Lin Langtian's nonchalant demeanor. After all, even he was tempted by the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, let alone the young and impetuous Lin Langtian.

In his mind, Lin Langtian had gained another impression of being as steady and reliable as a mountain.

"Hehe, Bro Langtian, your ranking on the Rookie Ranking in the Chaotic Demon Sea is quite amazing."

With a flick of her wrist, Mu Lingshan produced a golden scroll, its surface shimmering with light and revealing the three characters "Rookie Ranking."

This item was created by a force called Heavenly Machine Tower in the Chaotic Demon Sea, and it does have some authority. Those who can be listed are all outstanding young people in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and then smiled as he took the scroll from Mu Lingshan's hand.

Seeing this, Tang Xinlian, who was standing nearby, also curiously came over. Just as she approached Lin Langtian, a giant reef appeared in front of them. As the Xuan Whale made a sharp turn, the people on its back began to shake instantly.

Tang Xinlian lost her balance and instinctively fell towards Lin Langtian. Upon seeing this, the latter quickly opened his arms to support her.

The soft touch immediately flooded Lin Langtian's mind, and the delicate body in his arms made his breathing become erratic.

At the same time, Mu Lingshan blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Langtian and Tang Xinlian with a leisurely air.

To outsiders, it looked as if Lin Langtian had embraced Tang Xinlian, and the two had engaged in intimate physical contact in front of everyone.

As Mu Lingshan was engrossed in watching, a large hand suddenly covered her eyes, and the owner of the hand was none other than Mu Lan.

Looking at Lin Langtian and Tang Xinlian in their ambiguous pose, Mu Lan seemed afraid that the two would corrupt the child. She shook her head and then coughed lightly.

"Cough cough..."

The soft cough was not loud, but it immediately woke Tang Xinlian and Lin Langtian on the whale's back.

"I'm... I'm sorry."

Tang Xinlian quickly steadied herself, her pearly teeth gently biting her red lips. Her originally clear and crisp voice now carried a slight tremor, and her eyes also revealed a rare blush.

Aside from his deceased father and Mo Luo, Lin Langtian was the first to get so close to a man.

This stirred up waves in Tang Xinlian's originally calm heart once again.

"It's alright, there are many reefs in this area, just be careful." The soft touch left in a flash, and Lin Langtian said calmly.

However, the lingering fragrance of Tang Xinlian made Lin Langtian's mind unusually hazy.

After spending time together on the journey, he and Tang Xinlian became much more familiar with each other, and he naturally discovered that the hidden love that Tang Xinlian originally had for Lin Dong in the original work seemed to have been transferred to him.

Lin Langtian was somewhat surprised by this, but not too surprised.

After all, the reason why Tang Xinlian fell in love with Lin Dong in the original timeline, besides Lin Dong's unique charm, was because Lin Dong helped her at a crucial moment, leaving a deep impression on her.

In this timeline, Lin Langtian and Tang Xinlian became acquainted earlier than Lin Dong. Furthermore, the shock and help Lin Langtian gave Tang Xinlian in the Devouring Realm were no less than those given by Lin Dong in the original story. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Tang Xinlian developed feelings for Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian couldn't help but smile bitterly at this.

A beautiful and graceful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections. Although Lin Langtian did not have Cao Cao's ambitions, as a normal man, he admitted that he also yearned for power and beautiful women.

Tang Xinlian, in terms of both appearance and talent, is in no way inferior to Ying Xiaoxiao or even Ling Qingzhu, making her a top choice in the Heavenly Profound Continent.

Although Ling Qingzhu was already his woman, in the fantasy world where strength reigns supreme, polygamy was commonplace, and Lin Langtian wouldn't feel morally burdened just because he came from that blue planet.

Although he had some thoughts about it, Lin Langtian knew that this was not the place for romance, so he shook his head, composed himself, and looked at the golden scroll in his hand.

Seeing that Lin Langtian wasn't angry, Tang Xinlian breathed a sigh of relief, then bit her red lips and stood beside Lin Langtian again, observing the Rookie Ranking.

On the other side, Mu Lingshan finally managed to pull Mu Lan's large hand away, only to find that Lin Langtian and Tang Xinlian had separated from their embrace, and she couldn't help but pout in complaint.

However, she then glanced at Lin Langtian and the other person, her big eyes darting around as if she had thought of something, and a sly look immediately appeared on her face...

The golden scroll emanated energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that it was also a Spirit Treasure. Lin Langtian's gaze swept over it and he immediately saw a row of tiny, luminous characters at the top of the list.

"Lin Langtian, ranked first on the Rookie Ranking, Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, an early stage Immortal Talisman Master, the Heavenly Mansion Lord Eastern Xuan Region Corrosive Fiend Sea Domain. He single-handedly killed three powerful experts at the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion, demonstrating his formidable combat strength and ranking first on the list."

"Such powerful intelligence capabilities."

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow. The Heavenly Machine Tower was indeed quite capable. They knew everything that had happened just a few days ago, and even his origins in the Eastern Xuan Region and the founding of the Heavenly Mansion were clearly written down. Their intelligence capabilities were truly admirable.

"The top spot, as expected..." Tang Xinlian nodded upon seeing this, then blushed slightly when she saw Lin Langtian's gaze fall upon her, and whispered.

"The Rookie Ranking is a ranking of the younger generation in the Chaotic Demon Sea. You killed three Death Profound Stage Grand Completion in one fell swoop. Such strength is extremely rare even in the Rookie Ranking of the last hundred years. It is not surprising that you are ranked first."

"Hehe, with Bro Langtian's strength, he is undoubtedly number one." Mu Lingshan laughed.

Lin Langtian nodded. He had expected this, after all, if his strength were placed in the Eastern Xuan Region, probably no one could rival him except for the leaders of the Eight Great Super Sects.

"Third on the Rookie Ranking, Tang Xinlian, the Fire Fairy of the Flame God Palace, the Chief Disciple of Mo Luo, the master of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, and the next successor of the Flame God Palace."

At this moment, Lin Langtian found Tang Xinlian's ranking and said softly.

"We were originally in first place, but because of your and that person's sudden emergence, we became third..." Tang Xinlian pursed her red lips slightly and explained softly.

She didn't know why she had to explain to Lin Langtian, but subconsciously she felt that she couldn't let Lin Langtian look down on her. After all, she was the Fire Fairy, and she also had her own pride.

Lin Langtian didn't notice Tang Xinlian's little scheme. After praising Tang Xinlian with a light laugh, he then shifted his gaze slightly upwards to the second-ranked person on the Rookie Ranking, the one below him.

"The second- Rookie Ranking Faceless Man Xu Xiu, who once killed a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion."

"The Faceless Man Xu Xiu..."

Lin Langtian murmured, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This Xu Xiu is very powerful. It is said that he is unaffiliated with any sect or faction, and his whereabouts are mysterious. Even with the intelligence capabilities of the Heavenly Machine Tower, we can only know some superficial information about him," Tang Xinlian said.

"Huh, this person has actually killed Death Profound Stage Grand Completion before. It seems that if Bro Langtian Traversing the Void hadn't suddenly appeared and killed three Death Profound Stage Grand Completion at the same time, the top spot on the Rookie Ranking would have fallen to him." Mu Lingshan said from the side.

Lin Langtian remained silent. He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this person was likely a spy for the Yuan Sect in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that his current strength was greater than that of Lin Dong in the original timeline. He wondered if the Yuan Sect would send out an expert stronger than Xu Xiu to deal with him.

If that's really the case, he's not afraid at all when he's in the Samsara Stage.

"Let's go, let's head to the Flame Sea Region first. Judging by the time, the so-called Tournament should be coming soon..." Lin Langtian tossed the scroll in his hand to Mu Lingshan, smiled, and said.

The Flame Sea Region is a vast area within the Chaotic Demon Sea. No other forces exist in this area except for one behemoth: the Flame God Palace.

It is the undisputed ruler and overlord of this sea area.

In the Chaotic Demon Sea, powerful figures gather, and the major forces there are clearly more complex than those in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Occupying such a vast sea area in such a place is no easy feat, and the reason why the Flame God Palace was able to do so was primarily due to the existence of Mo Luo.

A cultivator at the Samsara Stage Realm, and a master of the Flame Ancestral Symbol.

These two simple titles are enough to make even the most powerful beings who have entered the cycle of reincarnation dare not underestimate them in the slightest.

In this sea area, few dare to challenge the authority of the Flame God Palace. Even those who are also powerful forces are unusually restrained when they come here.

When Lin Langtian group arrived at the Flame Sea Region, it was already five days later.

Standing atop the giant whale, Lin Langtian gazed at the pale reddish sea, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Upon entering this sea area, he could sense that beneath the ocean lay an extremely violent fiery power.

"Beneath this Flame Sea Region lie a series of volcanoes. Don't be fooled by the calm surface; beneath, countless volcanoes erupt. If you wander in recklessly, even Death Profound Stage expert will be in a sorry state." As the heir to the Flame God Palace, Tang Xinlian was clearly very familiar with this place.

Lin Langtian nodded slightly. The Flame Sea Region was indeed as its name suggested.

Mu Lan, who was standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Let's go. Let's head straight to Huoyan City in the center of the sea. I'm sure Hall Master Mo Luo is getting impatient."

"Hehe, you are an honored guest. My master will be delighted by your presence," Tang Xinlian said with a smile.

"Hall Master Mo Luo has found a good disciple. I imagine this Thunder Hegemony Competition will be very exciting..." Mu Lan said, looking at Tang Xinlian and then at Lin Langtian beside her.

The Flame Sea Region is now extremely lively. Countless streaks of light streak across the sky, all heading in the same direction, creating a magnificent spectacle.

The Flame Sea Region is quite vast, dotted with islands. The Huoyan City, which Lin Langtian and his group were heading to, is the headquarters of the Flame God Palace and the place where the Tournament begins.

As Lin Langtian group approached Huoyan City, it was already sunset. Then, they saw a crimson land appear in the distance.

On that land, a colossal city, its borders almost invisible, stands like an ancient fire dragon coiled in the sea.

A massive crimson light shield, shaped like an inverted bowl, descended and enveloped the city. A terrifying energy fluctuation permeated the shield, and even space itself was subtly distorted by that power.

"So this is Huoyan City..." Lin Langtian murmured as he gazed at the massive city.

The Flame God Palace truly lives up to its reputation as a dominant force in the Chaotic Demon Sea; its headquarters is indeed imposing.
