Nirvana Golden Seal, First on the Heaven Ranking
"After entering the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, keep an eye on the movements of the young Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace Young Palace Mistress Ling Qingzhu, and inform me through the Devouring Seal I left in your body."
Lin Dong lightly tapped Su Rou's forehead with his fingertip and said.
"Young Palace Mistress? I've heard that the position of Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace has always been passed down to women, not men, and that every Palace Master in history has been a woman of unparalleled beauty and extraordinary talent. So, what is the relationship between Brother Lin Dong and this Miss Ling Qingzhu?"
Su Rou bit her delicate red lips, her jade-like face full of curiosity.
"Me and her? That's a long story. Anyway, she insisted on sleeping with me. When she left, she even gave me an Ancient Divine Object and said she would wait for me in the Eastern Xuan Region."
Lin Dong pondered for a moment, then spoke in a serious tone.
"Pfft~"
A soft laugh rang out, and the beautiful woman in green blushed slightly, covering her mouth with her slender hand as she tried to remain calm, saying, "Brother Lin Dong, I'm sorry, but my mother always told me never to laugh at others so easily."
Although her tone was forced to remain calm, her constantly trembling shoulders betrayed her.
"Unless you really can't help it, right?"
Lin Dong added Youyou.
Damn it! Why does nobody believe him when he tells the truth?!
"It's alright, Brother Lin Dong, don't worry. If I'm lucky enough to enter the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, I'll definitely keep an eye on Miss Ling Qingzhu's movements and then secretly tell you."
Su Rou, who had finally managed to compose herself, still had a flushed face.
"Hey, I have a feeling that if I rely on this stupid girl's help to win my wife back, I'm doomed!"
Lin Dong, looking like a salted fish, looked up at the sky, his eyes lifeless, and thought to himself.
Myriad Manifestation City, as the only major city in the Northwest Region guarded by the Super Sect powerhouse, is not only one of the key nodes connecting the core area of Ancient Dimension, but also the place to obtain the Nirvana Seal, the ticket to the Hundred Dynasties War.
In the Ancient Forest thirty miles east of the city, several figures were leaning against towering ancient trees, chatting quietly and contentedly.
"Hmm? It should be Mo Ling and the others who have arrived."
Ghostly glow flashed between the brows of the elegant young man dressed in black. He seemed to sense something, raised his head, and gazed into the distance in one direction.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, and four figures in the distant sky rushed towards the forest. Immediately afterwards, four figures with solid auras stepped out from among them.
"Brother Lin Dong, we're back in the team!"
The four people who landed lined up and bowed respectfully in unison.
"Welcome back."
Looking at the four people whose auras were contained and not yet released, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction.
Qianyun Sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Sixteen Great Protector Sects of the Heavenly Gang Alliance. When Mo Ling and his companions left the group, they were only at the One Yuan Nirvana Stage of Nirvana Realm. Now, they have all reached the Three Yuan Peak Nirvana Stage and are capable of challenging the Four Yuan Stage.
The Four Great Generals of the Great Qian Dynasty were only at this level.
"Let's go into the city and get the Nirvana Seal."
After introducing Little Marten, Su Rou, and the others, the group, which had grown to ten people, left the Ancient Forest and quickly headed towards the giant city lying prostrate on the earth in the distance.
In the center of Myriad Manifestation City, a majestic and solemn golden ancient stele stands like a mountain peak, its vast surface covered with countless names of powerful figures that gleam in the sunlight.
Lin Dong and his group arrived close to dusk, so there weren't many martial artists coming to receive the Nirvana Seal, and it was easy for them to get their turn.
"This is the Nirvana Stele. The Nirvana Seal obtained from it are divided into three categories: Heaven, Earth, and Man (gold seal, gray seal, and three other colors). Each category has its own corresponding three major lists. Those who can be listed are all formidable and troublesome beings."
"The subsequent Hundred Dynasties War was actually a battle to plunder the light from each other's Nirvana Seal, ideally to elevate it to a purple-gold hue in order to participate in the Nirvana Golden Ranking Battle."
Su Kui explained in a low voice from the side.
"Brother Lin Dong, based on your strength, the three of you brothers should all be able to rank high on the Earth Ranking, no, I mean the Heaven Ranking, right?"
Su Rou looked at Lin Dong with anticipation, her eyes sparkling.
At the very least, one can enter the Human Ranking at the Second Rank, the Earth Ranking at the Third Rank, and the Heaven Ranking at the Fourth Rank. To enter the top three of the Heaven Ranking, one would probably need to reach the Fifth Rank.
"If you're not going to do it, then don't do it at all; if you're going to do it, then do"
Lin Dong smiled noncommittally, then extended his fair palm and placed it on the cool surface of the monument. As his powerful Origin Energy surged, a row of characters appeared in the Human Ranking area at the bottom of the monument.
"Boom!!!"
As Lin Dong channeled his inner Origin Energy, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the two ancient characters. Immediately afterward, the two ancient characters soared like rockets, climbing the ranks of the Human Ranking, the Earth Ranking, the Heaven Ranking...
In the blink of an eye, that golden light had swept away one after another of the most decorated warriors, directly propelling them into the ranks of the Heaven Ranking.
Ninth, eighth, seventh,... second, first!
As the next breath fell, the golden light had firmly settled at the top of the Heaven Ranking, with the name "Lin Dong" shining brightly in the first place, as if it was born to belong there.
Lin Dong is number one on the Heaven Ranking!
"Number one on the Heaven Ranking?!"
The powerful figures who hadn't gone far were all dumbfounded and completely stunned. But why did the name Lin Dong sound vaguely familiar?
It's not over yet!
Lin Dong stepped back, and Little Marten and Little Flame exchanged a glance and chuckled before placing their palms on the Nirvana Stele in turn.
Lin Diao is second on the Heaven Ranking!
Lin Yan is ranked third on the Heaven Ranking!
A moment later, two more Lin Clan experts were listed on the Heaven Ranking.
"Lin Dong, Lin Yan, I remember now! Isn't this group the Great Yan Dynasty, known as the strongest Low-Level Dynasty in history in our Northwest Region?!"
"Yes, yes, I remember now. Lin Dong is the leader of the Great Yan Dynasty, the one who killed two generals of the Great Qian Dynasty with a single palm strike not long ago."
"I didn't expect that such a ruthless person would also come to Myriad Manifestation City to participate in the war. It seems that in addition to the Four Great Dynasties that suppress the four directions in the city, there will be another overlord-level existence."
The consecutive appearances of Little Marten and Little Flame on the list made the surrounding powerful figures fully recognize the identities of Lin Dong and the others, and a slight commotion quickly spread among the crowd.
Amidst the discussions among the various Dynasties' officials, Mo Ling and his group of four stepped forward to receive their Nirvana Seal, instantly taking over the second to fifth places on the Earth Ranking.
"That's more like it! That's more like it! If anyone from the Great Yan Dynasty could reach the top of the Heaven Ranking, what would be the point of us playing around?!"
Those who had been secretly observing the situation breathed a sigh of relief.
While this ranking is still respectable, it doesn't reach the level of Lin Dong and his two companions, enough to overturn the entire Myriad Manifestation City.
"Boy, hand over Su Rou right now!!!"
Just as everyone was starting to relax, a thunderous roar, brimming with immense Origin Energy, suddenly resounded across the square.
P. S.: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone!
