The victor is Xiang Ying!

The various Clan Heads shook their heads and turned to leave. This was indeed far beyond their expectations and not the result they wanted.

Rather than watch the Xiang Clan be smug, it was better to leave, out of sight, out of mind.

In the center of the Spirit Law Stage, Yun Ye naturally didn't bother with the Noble families' AQ Spirit.

He was enveloped in a radiant glow, and as the embroidered ball descended, his Fate immediately changed.

"Gained ritual fortune." "Fate has been upgraded: Rank CRank B."

Fate is determined by Heaven, but destiny is shaped by life.

With the blessing of fortune, everything goes smoothly. Even if one's origins are humble, they may still be able to acquire crimson gold and achieve the Supreme position.

Yun Ye's Rank B Fate was already excellent. In the mortal world, he would be the favored child of Heaven. Anyone who opposed him would either be struck by a meteor or choke while drinking water.

But unfortunately, this was a world of cultivation. Even with a large amount of fortune, it was still impossible to have divine assistance and sweep through everything to achieve the Supreme position.

According to Yun Ye's current Fate description, he only had the position of "approaching a genius."

To be honest, limited by information and intelligence, Yun Ye couldn't understand why he had already swept through many geniuses, yet his position was still only approaching a genius.

Could it be that he was missing some element?

After thinking about it, Yun Ye gave up directly because he couldn't find an answer. It wasn't important at all.

He could kill a Law Realm with an Rank E Fate, which was enough to show that Fate was not the decisive factor. The truly meaningful "position" still had to be obtained through one's own ability.

It was just that everything went smoothly when Fate was strong, and Calamity arose when Fate was weak, but it wasn't unsolvable.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang Ying, congratulations in advance on making it onto the Qilin Ranking!"

Nangong Xungu was a very proud person, but facing Yun Ye, he was still extremely apprehensive and dared not offend him.

He had a premonition that this child would definitely rise against the heavens and become an unparalleled genius of his generation.

"Congratulations in advance? Do you mean I will immediately be on the Qilin Ranking, or do I need to challenge in order?"

Yun Ye didn't care about Nangong Xungu's surrender. What he wanted was fortune. Being able to fight one less match also meant exposing less power, which was a good thing.

"Basically, you will directly be on the Qilin Ranking. The one at the bottom of the Qilin Ranking is only slightly stronger than me, and your weight has already reached it. A genius from a weak clan would not be able to enter the Qilin Ranking, but with Qu Shuang backing you, Calamity will naturally dissipate, so there is no need to worry."

Nangong Xungu spoke meaningfully, and he cupped his fist. "The victory has been decided, and I have no reason to stay any longer. Farewell."

Wen Yun Town entered ten days of celebration.

And the story of Yun Ye defeating many geniuses spread throughout the Great Wilderness.

Every generation, the Great Wilderness had freaks of nature.

But it was really rare for someone to become famous at the age of five. They were all born with a Spirit Body, Innate Divine Law, and were determined to have unparalleled talent from birth, which was completely different from Yun Ye's situation.

Someone like Yun Ye, who mastered third-order Spirituality at the age of only five and swept through all enemies with his own Law, was rare in thousands of years!

Most of the powerful Noble families who heard about this matter regarded it with indifference and were not particularly moved.

This went against common sense.

Even the Noble families with the deepest foundations accumulated power gradually and would not allow geniuses to overdraw their potential by making great strides at the age of five. Doing so might indeed make them very strong in the early stages, achieving many incredible feats.

But what about later?

A cultivator without a foundation could never walk the path of Mystic Law Embodiment and enter the Law Realm.

Let's see what happens next. If Xiang Ying can still be invincible after entering the Law Realm, then he can be considered a true super genius.

Among the many Noble families in the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, only the family of Nangong Xungu held a different view.

Their Heir Apparent personally faced Xiang Ying and used his Innate Divine Law to investigate, and he did not see any signs of seeking quick success.

Xiang Ying was simply a pure monster, using various Laws with natural perfection, completely beyond common sense.

The Xiang Clan was also celebrating wildly. This was the first Heaven's Mandate of the family in history, with historical significance!

The grandness of the occasion was enough to make most people lose themselves. Leaving aside Yun Ye himself for the moment, the other Xiang Clan members were already so proud that they were about to shout out invincible slogans, believing that Yun Ye truly had heaven-defying talent.

This is hard to say...

Even if he really does, such a small clan being so high-profile might not be a good thing.

It was just that the Xiang Clan was very lucky to be favored by a great power like Qu Shuang, otherwise Yun Ye would probably have been assassinated before even entering the Qilin Ranking.

Indeed, the Qilin Ranking is a manifestation of rules, a kind of heaven and earth ranking that cannot be faked at all.

But if the person on the list is killed, the list will naturally be empty. The Heaven's Mandates of large clans often Fall because of this, let alone those of small clans? Or even... pigs and sheep?

Whether pigs and sheep have ever been on the Qilin Ranking is a question. At least Yun Ye had not seen it in his previous life or the life before that.

After the celebration of the Wen Yun Grand Ceremony ended, the entire Xiang Clan began to mobilize resources to prepare for Yun Ye to enter the Cloud Heaven Spirit Sect.

Here lies a problem.

Where did the Xiang Clan's resources come from?

In White Stone Town, Noble families had almost no Spirituality resources other than the Secret Realm, so even things like food were valued and collected.

But in Wen Yun Town, the Spirit Qi concentration was more than a hundred times that of White Stone Town, and it was feasible to plant most Spirit Plants. The power of various Spirit Laws was also very great. For example, the scale of the Rainfall Art could reach ten or twenty times that of White Stone Town.

In this case, planting various Spirit Medicine was very simple, so the Xiang Clan would cultivate a large number of Spirit Root Revivalists of the wood, water, and earth elements, and then have them engage in this work for life.

This was the Xiang Clan's largest source of income and the most stable source of income. As long as the environment of heaven and earth did not change and no foreign race seized the land, the output could be predicted.

The second was the income from Spirit Pills. The Xiang Clan cultivated Pill Refining masters internally, and the Spirit Medicine would be refined into pills before being sold to exchange for higher profits.

The third was the Spirit Stone income from the North Marsh Xiang Clan's Spirit Vein. The Spirit Stones of this world needed to be refined artificially, and there were few natural mines. The Xiang Clan often raised a large number of mortals to work hard to mine, and then handed them over to Spirit Root Revivalists to refine them into Spirit Stones.

Finally, there was the Demonic Monster material transaction.

There were many Spirit Law Practitioner in Wen Yun Town, with different needs, so the materials for refining Spirit Tools and Magic Tools had great trading value.

The Xiang Clan's Spirit Vein in North Marsh, in addition to producing Spirit Stones, would also kill many Demonic Monsters, and the useless materials would be sold.

This portion of income is very unstable, and the proportion it occupies isn't large.

Generally speaking, only Spirit Law Practitioners from small families would deliberately risk their lives to kill Demonic Monsters in order to obtain resources. True Spirit Law Noble families don't need to do this, because they simply can't earn much money from it.

This is the entirety of the Xiang Clan's resource composition. It can be said that their wealth is quite abundant, making it easy to accumulate resources.

Having existed for several hundred years, the resources accumulated by the entire Xiang Clan are obviously beyond what an individual can imagine.

Even if only a small portion is distributed, it's a huge sum of money. This is the Xiang Clan's confidence in allowing Yun Ye to join the Cloud Heaven Spirit Sect and achieve something.
