Fifth on the Universe Rankings

The Little White Fox looked up and licked the edge of Li Hao's palm, looking at Li Hao with a wronged expression.

Li Hao smiled. The Little White Fox definitely couldn't go to the Martial Temple, otherwise it would be killed as soon as it stepped inside.

The path by which Demon Soul Inheritance is similar to that of Human Race.

Those with a lineage Soul Inheritance of their ancestors, Demon.

Those without a lineage can only seek to become disciples of other Great Demon in order to obtain their inheritance.

Therefore, Demon also have their Demon power and circles.

If they were still living in that Divine General Residence, Li Hao could help the Little White Fox by sending it to Green Hill Mountain, where a fox clan resides.

Green Hill Mountain is also one of the forces that are affiliated with the Li Family.

The Green Hill Mountain Daoist who Bone Measurement was actually a large fox demon.

However, a great war broke out in Green Hill Mountain a thousand years ago, and the Fox Master there died in the battle. For many years, no Demon King of the Four Establishments Realm has been born, so it can only submit to and rely on the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Just bear with it a little longer. When I return, I'll find a chance to check if there are any wild graves of Demon King Outside the Pass."

Li Hao stroked the Little White Fox and said, "If it really doesn't work, give me some time, and I'll kill a Demon King for you later so you Soul Inheritance."

The Soul Succession Realm is still very crucial. It enables him to fight beyond his current realm, mainly because of the Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance, which allows him to Soul Condensation 360 times, far exceeding four or five times, or even ten times, those of other realms.

This power comes from the combined improvement of each subsequent stage and the overall accumulation of experience.

The Little White Fox nodded obediently upon hearing Li Hao's words, revealing a foxy smile.

Li Hao borrowed a bag of silver from Song Qiumo and set off with Ren Qianqian.

The Little White Fox was left at the camp and entrusted to Song Qiumo for care.

Ren Qianqian carried Li Hao's sword, while Li Hao carried Ren Qianqian...

However, this "lifting" involved using the power of Object Manipulation to propel the two people, one in front of the other, as they flew out of the camp.

The Old Feng followed in the distance, his footsteps treading silently through the wind and snow.

Li He chose to secretly follow Li Hao and continue to perform his duty of protection.

Although he now knew that this young master's fighting ability was in no way inferior to his own, military orders were still in effect.

Great Yue City is located in the northwestern central area of Liang Prefecture.

This place is well-connected in all directions, with no mountains or forests outside the city, just flat plains, forming the northwestern central axis of Liang Prefecture.

Every month, countless caravans and merchant groups come here.

Winter Snow covered the earth, making the Heaven and Earth one color, but the wheels of vehicles left deep black streaks on the ground.

On the Great Dao outside the city, carriages came from all directions in an endless stream, traveling along the wide Official Road and entering the majestic city.

"Miss, Great Yue City is just ahead."

Inside a simple, unadorned carriage, a maid dressed in plain clothes with soft armor underneath spoke to the girl beside her.

The young girl Side Sword at her waist and was dressed in white, just like the snowy scenery outside. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, and saw the hundred-zhang-high city wall, like a dark mountain, standing at the end of her vision.

"The grandeur of this Great Yue City is no less than that of Qingzhou City."

The girl glanced at it intently and said softly.

She was none other than Li Wushuang, who had come to Liang Prefecture with her father.

Having just arrived at the military camp, she heard about the grand gathering of Grandmaster held by the Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man. She immediately disguised herself and, accompanied by two female attendants arranged for her by her father, Li Xuanli, rushed over overnight.

"This is the residence of one of the Seven Great Aristocratic Clans of Liang Prefecture, and also the third richest family in Liang Prefecture, which is why it has such grandeur."

The waitress explained to her.

Li Wushuang nodded slightly, but didn't seem to care.

Any prestigious Aristocratic Clan or powerful clan pales in comparison to Xuanhe magnificent and dignified Divine General Residence's Mansion.

Her gaze swept across the Official Road, gazing at the snow-white plains and the distant mountains that stretched to the horizon, and she murmured to herself:

"This place could be used to gather a large army if we were to fight against Demon Creature, and being in the heart of the territory, it's difficult to hide the traces of Demon."

The maid smiled slightly upon hearing this. As expected of a general's daughter, her focus was different from that of ordinary young ladies from noble Aristocratic Clan.

"This Dao Hearing will lay the foundation for my future entry into the Heaven and Man Realm, benefit my breakthrough to the Fifteen Li Realm, and give me the possibility of advancing further on the Heaven Dragon Rankings!"

Li Wushuang's eyes flickered.

The Universe Rankings is divided into two rankings. Those over 18 years of age are not eligible to be included in the Earth Phoenix Rankings.

Those over 22 years of age are not eligible for inclusion on the Heaven Dragon Rankings.

The Universe Rankings is primarily designed for young people.

Those Aristocratic Clan Heavenly Prodigy mainly compete for the Earth Phoenix Rankings. Those who make it onto the Heaven Dragon Rankings are mostly disciples of the Divine General Residence or top-tier forces, such as disciples of the Qian Dao Palace, disciples of Boundless Mountain, or Personal Disciple of other first- Sect.

To be listed on the Universe Rankings means to be the most outstanding young talent in the Great Yu Dynasty at present.

The only criteria for inclusion on the list are an assessment of one's cultivation level and actual combat record!

Therefore, many scions of the Aristocratic Clan enter the martial arts world, upholding justice, slaying demons and monsters, and making a name for themselves, hoping to gain attention and be included in the Universe Rankings.

Once you're on the list, you'll receive invitations from various forces and receive a lot of help with resources. Your cultivation path will be smooth sailing, and you'll no longer need to worry about the lack of Cultivation Method, resources, weapons, etc. You can just focus on your cultivation.

Li Wushuang is currently ranked outside the top thirtieth on the Heaven Dragon Rankings.

All the people ranked ahead of her, up to the top 28, were geniuses from the Fifteen Li Realm.

They come from various factions, or Personal Disciple of top experts such as the Sword Saint or the Saber Saint.

Li Wushuang recognized many of these people, and some were even acquaintances. For example, one of the two Spirit Wandering Realm ahead of her, ranked 28th, was Li Hao's fiancée, Bian Ruxue.

Both are at the Spirit Wandering Realm, but she is ranked slightly higher.

The reason she made the list is that Three Months ago, she descended from the Sword Hermitage and entered the mortal world, destroyed a Mo River, and killed two Demons who had crossed the Spirit Wandering Realm with a single sword strike. Her outstanding achievements earned her a place ahead of others.

To enter the Heaven Dragon Rankings at the age of fourteen is truly astonishing.

Even if the other party has Famed Master, many forces will still be willing to befriend and win them over, even if it's just to gain a favor or become acquainted with them, it's still worthwhile.

The Universe Rankings is updated every month, and Li Wushuang's feelings were somewhat complicated as he thought about the recent changes.

When the latest rankings were released, all the young Warrior in the Nineteen Provinces were shocked.

Although the Divine General Residence intentionally covered up the great battle in Qing Prefecture, there were too many witnesses, and the news could not be kept secret. Moreover, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, which ranks the Universe Rankings, claims to have mastered the secrets of heaven and see through All Things in the world. Even if a young hero raids a bird's nest on the Frontier, they might know about it, let alone a battle of such magnitude.

As the Universe Rankings was updated, that name naturally appeared on the list.

It ranks fifth.

He ranked fifth on the Heaven Dragon Rankings at the age of fourteen.

Li Hao.

Upon seeing this message and ranking, all forces that paid attention to the Universe Rankings were shaken, especially upon seeing the description of the young man's realm, which had reached the Heaven and Man Realm!

The fourteen-year-old's Heaven and Man Realm astounded the world.

No wonder he ranked fifth on the Heaven Dragon Rankings.

It should be noted that the Top Ten the Heaven Dragon Rankings have always been positions that only those at the Heaven and Man Realm are qualified to compete for.

For example, the disciples under the Qian Dao Palace True Person, the Buddha Master's personal Personal Disciple, the newly accepted apprentice of a wandering old Beggar, and the young True Dragon of other Divine General Residence...

There are too many Prodigy and too few spots available.

These are ten spots selected from among the millions of Warrior in the Great Yu Dynasty.

When the rankings were released, some people in the Jianghu Misty Rain Pavilion predicted that within two years, this young man would climb to the top of the Heaven Dragon Rankings and remain there until he was 22 years old and was removed from the list.

Suppressing the Heaven Dragon Rankings for six years!

While this speculation is outrageous, it doesn't seem so unimaginable in the face of that record-breaking cultivation speed.

Li Wushuang came to Great Yue City to improve his skills, mainly because he wanted to catch up with that figure.

Outside another gate of Great Yue City, a convoy of vehicles drove in.

"Look, we're almost there!"

The carriage curtain was lifted, and young faces, full of lively energy, peeked out from the carriages in the caravan.

"Yueyao, this Great Yue City is quite impressive."

Inside the carriage, Lin Feifei, dressed in Green-Robed, blinked in surprise. It was her first time in Liang Prefecture. Due to its geographical environment, Liang Prefecture was not suitable for farming and often had to transport grain from other states. In her impression, it was a poor place.

Among the Nineteen Provinces, Liang Prefecture indeed ranked near the bottom in terms of fiscal revenue.

"Um."

Song Yueyao, who was traveling with her, nodded slightly, her eyes shining with anticipation for the upcoming grand event.

"Yueyao, I heard that Heaven's Gate Pass, where Master Li is stationed, is in Liang Prefecture?"

Lin Feifei suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

Her geographical knowledge is not good, and there's some uncertainty about it.

Song Yueyao's eyes narrowed, the light in them seemed to dim, and her expression became somewhat silent. "That's right."

"Should we go and see him after this grand event is over?" Lin Feifei suggested on a whim.

Song Yueyao shook her head slightly, knowing her best friend's personality well, and said:

"Heaven's Gate Pass fraught with danger and unpredictability. If we Past, we'll only cause him trouble. Grandpa said that Aunt Qiumo went to visit him, so he should be alright."

"Oh."

Seeing this, Lin Feifei could only give up regretfully. She muttered a few words in a low voice, feeling indignant for Li Hao, but dared not say anything more after that.

These words were only whispered behind her back, criticizing the Divine General who was in charge of a state. Even though no one heard her, she felt a little nervous inside.

"We're here for further training, so we need to focus. We can look for him after we've entered the Fifteen Li Realm."

Song Yueyao said.

Before reaching the Fifteen Li Realm, one cannot even Sky Traversal, and if encountering Great Demon, one may not even be able to escape.

Lin Feifei nodded slightly, knowing that this Grandmaster Inquiry Gathering was of great significance to them, as it would lay the foundation for them to step into the Heaven and Man Realm in the future.

After all, they have to rely on themselves to reach the Heaven and Man Realm. No matter how many resources they have, they can only accumulate up to the Fifteen Li Realm.

The curtain fell, and the carriage swayed and rattled toward the enormous bronze city gate.

High in the sky, a hundred miles Great Yue City.

Several figures whistled in and landed on the desolate ground, some distance from the Official Road, unnoticed by anyone.

The leader was a robust young man dressed in a purple-gold robe. He had a handsome face, but a long, thick beard on his jawline. His eyes were purple-gold, gleaming with a captivating light.

"Young Master, Great Yue City is just ahead."

A Gray-Robed Elder spoke respectfully.

He had coiled Jiaolong horns on his head, gray scales on his neck, and a long, pointed face with a somewhat sinister air.

"It looks like a really nice plate."

The Purple-Gold-Robed Youth had purple glints in his eyes as he stared intently, then slightly licked his lips.

"Once we take this city, we can coordinate with Father from within and without, tearing the northwest apart. With the help of those guys, the garrison of Liang Prefecture won't be able to react at all!"

The Gray-Robed Elder smiled and said, "I heard they're holding a grand event here, with Grandmaster from all over the country coming to feast. Young master, you can enjoy it to your heart's content."

"These reptiles can reach the Heaven and Man Realm in just a few decades of cultivation, and their reproductive ability is so rapid, they are truly disgusting and nauseating!"

The Purple-Gold-Robed Youth said coldly, a Violence look flashing across his face.

The people around him were all smiling, but no one said anything.

"Let's go explore that city first. Have the main force stand by, ready to receive our signal. Once we break through the City Formation, we'll take it in one fell swoop, minimizing casualties."

"The Purple-Gold-Robed Youth said, and walked forward at the same time."

"Young Master, if you want to enter the city, you'll need to change your clothes, and also your Divine Eye..." the Gray-Robed Elder hurriedly said.

The Jiaolong horns on his head retracted and disappeared into his hair, and the gray scales on his neck also disappeared, making him look like a normal old man.

"That's so troublesome."

The Purple-Gold-Robed Youth frowned, somewhat displeased.

"The purple-gold robe is reserved for the Imperial Clan of the Human Race; it's far too conspicuous," the Gray-Robed Elder said respectfully.

"Hmph, damned reptile!"

The Purple-Gold-Robed Youth was full of dissatisfaction, but the color of his clothes changed slightly, turning into a simple yellow robe, and the purple in his eyes disappeared, turning into black.

Let's go.

"Young Master, this is the Command Token."

The Gray-Robed Elder handed over a token.

The token was stained with a little blood.

Two figures flew over and landed on the Official Road outside Great Yue City. They then walked slowly into the city. It was Li Hao and Ren Qianqian.

Li Hao casually plucked a blade of grass from the roadside, held it in his hand and shook it idly. He would occasionally hop a few steps across the bumpy, snow-covered path left by the tires, avoiding crushing the melting snow and mud to prevent getting his boots dirty.

Ren Qianqian, carrying her sword, followed closely behind. The two of them occasionally leaped and bounded, dodging mud pits, and finally arrived at the city gate.

After paying the entrance fee, we entered the city onto the Blue Stone Road.

"As expected, there are quite a few Warrior."

Li Hao looked around and saw the Aura of many Warriors, most of whom were at the Spirit Wandering Realm, with a few at the Soul Succession Realm. He guessed they were just here to join in the fun.

The shops and Restaurant throughout the city were packed with people, making it extremely bustling.

As he passed by, Li Hao listened to various discussions and exchanges around him. Some were discussing the Grandmaster Gathering, others were gossiping about a certain Grandmaster, and Li Hao even heard his own name among them.

"Have you heard? The one ranked fifth on the Heaven Dragon Rankings is the youngest Grandmaster in history!"

"My dad told me that this record was broken by a prodigy from the Li Family more than ten years ago, but I never expected it to be broken again by someone from the Li Family."

" Of the Five Divine General Residences, the Li Family should be number one, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I'll tell you a secret. My friend said that the Wang Family, the least famous of the Five Divine General Residences, is actually the most terrifying..."

The topic gradually veered off course.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. He knew about the Heaven Dragon Rankings, which was compiled by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and updated monthly.

The Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man who invited Grandmaster from All Under Heaven to ask questions this time is one of the owners of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

It is said that Heavenly Secrets Pavilion knows everything about the All Under Heaven. Most of the strange and interesting stories in the martial arts world that Li Hao saw in the Listening Rain Pavilion were written by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Even the details of a certain Grandmaster taking revenge and wiping out an entire family were described as if he were there in person.

There was even a story about a Grandmaster keeping a young beauty as a mistress, which was also recorded in the Romance Register.

However, Li Hao heard from his Second Master that the reason why Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was so knowledgeable about everything was not because it was made up, but because there was actually Imperial Family behind the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion enjoys extremely high prestige in the martial arts world, which is one of the ways the imperial court infiltrates the martial arts world from the imperial court.

This demonstrates just how terrifying the power that the Great Yu Dynasty could actually wield was.

Was it because of that battle...? Li Hao's lips twitched slightly; he hadn't expected to enter the Heaven Dragon Rankings because of it.

He didn't seem to care much about the list.

Most people compete for rankings for fame and fortune; fame brings profit.

There are also a small number of simple people who simply want fame, to be remembered by the world, to be recognized wherever they go, and to be cherished after their death.

But Li Hao had no interest in either of those things.

He just wanted to live a little longer, to live a little more easily, to be an ordinary person, and to roam the world freely.

Perhaps the most precious thing in life is living Carefree State.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Martial Temple to Soul Inheritance."

Li Hao said to Ren Qianqian.

Ren Qianqian's eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately nodded and followed.

Li Hao grabbed someone at random and asked them, learning that there were three Martial Temple in Great Yue City, the largest of which was the one on City God Street in the center of the city.

Li Hao immediately took Ren Qianqian there.

Along the way, they encountered many Warriors from various states, mostly in groups of two or three, led by an elder.

City God Street is extremely lively, and there is also a Buddhist temple there, where many people come to burn incense and worship Buddha.

This Buddhist temple is also one of the temples under the jurisdiction of Boundless Mountain, belonging to Boundless Mountain's subordinate forces.

Li Hao glanced at it, had no intention of worshipping Buddha, and led Ren Qianqian straight to the Martial Temple in the center of the street.

There is also Ritual Altar Incense Martial Temple, but there are slightly fewer people coming here to worship and burn incense than in front of the Buddhist temple.

Li Hao frowned slightly as he watched. He went up with Ren Qianqian, spent a few taels of silver to buy Incense, lit it, and paid their respects to the Heroic Soul in the Martial Temple.

After the prayers were finished, Li Hao led Ren Qianqian to the Martial Temple and found the temple keeper.

Upon seeing Ren Qianqian's identity and learning about her father's identity, the temple keeper, after verifying that she had indeed just entered the Soul Succession Realm, accepted the silver, made a record of her, and then allowed Ren Qianqian to enter the Martial Temple.

The Heroic Soul of the Martial Temple are all in a semi-dormant state; whether or not one can move these Heroic Soul depends on their own abilities.

With nothing to do, Li Hao wandered around the Martial Temple and saw two temple keepers Chess in the open space behind the Martial Temple, so he squatted down to watch.

Two terrible chess players.

After glancing at it twice, Li Hao couldn't bear to look anymore. He shook his head, bored, and turned to leave.

The two young temple keeper simply exchanged a smile at Li Hao's behavior, assuming that he was just a child who didn't understand chess and didn't have the patience to Chess it.
