He didn't care about being ranked sixth.
What mattered to him now was that he'd found a way to fabricate the next diary entry!
[The Small Immortal Platform really did appear!]
[Sixth... Is my ranking still the same as in my previous life?]
[It seems my rebirth escaped the Heavenly Dao's notice, leaving no trace...]
[Everyone probably thinks I'm only sixth in strength. They don't know that the five ranked above me are nothing but undeserved reputations, and none of them can stand against me!]
[In my previous life, I fought all five of them, one after another. But in this life... forget it. After ten thousand years, seeing them again has left me completely uninterested.]
[Actually, the true prodigies weren't included in the rankings. Those people are still asleep or living in seclusion, unknown to the outside world.]
[Wang Ye, the Dao Son of the reclusive Daoist family in the Western Region, has an Innate Dao Body and has been asleep until now!]
[Long San, the Son of the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, has the Pure Ancient Divine Dragon Bloodline. It has never been made public, and he has always kept a low profile!]
[Xia Qingxuan of the Northern Underworld Sacred Land possesses the Nether Clan Destiny, yet little is known about her...]
[All five of them are stronger than the top five on the rankings!]
[And from now on... they'll finally reveal themselves to the world!]
[Besides those five, Dieyi is also quite strong. Even without obtaining the Demon Origin Fruit, she'd be capable of contending for a place on the Heavenly Talent Ranking!]
At the Demonic Sect,
at that moment,
Murong Dieyi had completely refined the Demon Origin Fruit. The purple light in her eyes had grown even more piercing, and the Demonic Qi around her surged skyward!
"Phew..."
She let out a long breath, her heart filled with excitement!
Su Changqing was truly wonderful!
If not for the Demon Origin Fruit, she wouldn't have reached the God King Ninth Heaven so quickly!
And the Ancient Demon Bloodline within her would never have awakened to its current extent!
She grinned.
Before long, the Nine Profound Heavens' once-in-a-century Nine Profound Gathering would begin!
By then,
the famous families, sacred lands, and other great powers from across the Nine Profound Heavens would gather together!
And this year, Dao Yi Sacred Sect was hosting the gathering!
She would naturally attend as well. It would be the perfect chance to see Su Changqing!
That man...
would one day share a romantic relationship with her!
But when she saw that the Heavenly Talent Ranking had truly appeared,
Murong Dieyi studied the entire list, then stopped at sixth place.
"Su Changqing is only sixth???"
She frowned, puzzled.
What was going on?
Her name wasn't on the list at all.
Especially after seeing the prompt that had appeared when the rankings were announced,
a glimmer flashed in Murong Dieyi's eyes, and longing showed on her face. "Heavenly Dao's Favor?"
The fighting spirit in her eyes ignited at once!
But just then,
the Diary Instance appeared.
[The five ranked above me are nothing but undeserved reputations, and none of them can stand against me...]
Murong Dieyi read the entry, narrowing her eyes.
So that was it...
No wonder!
But after reading that Su Changqing considered the top five undeserving of their reputations, and seeing the unfamiliar names he mentioned afterward...
Murong Dieyi blinked and murmured curiously, "Will those five people mentioned in the diary take the top five places on the Heavenly Talent Ranking?"
"No way..."
She couldn't help feeling doubtful, since she'd barely heard of any of them.
She could even say she had no impression of them at all.
Yet Su Changqing had said the five people mentioned in the diary would replace the current top five on the rankings?
And they were about to reveal their strength to the world?
But when she thought about it, that made sense...
Those who made the rankings would receive the Heavenly Dao's Favor, so their cultivation would surely progress more smoothly than those who didn't!
And if prodigies ranked among the top five received that favor...
Wouldn't they make rapid progress?
Finally...
Murong Dieyi saw Su Changqing's praise for her in the diary, and blinked.
"Heh..."
A smile appeared on her cold, beautiful face, and she couldn't help laughing.
Now, she wanted even more to meet the Holy Son of Dao Yi Sacred Sect!
At the same time,
at Saintess Peak,
Ling Qianxue was carefully reading the newly updated diary entry.
"Those people... are the true prodigies?"
She saw the names Su Changqing had mentioned and felt puzzled.
She'd heard of Long San, the Son of the Dragon Emperor.
It was just that he hadn't accomplished anything particularly notable. Could he really have the strength to contend for one of the top five places?
As for Senior Brother...
He had no interest in this life's Heavenly Talent Ranking. Otherwise, he'd surely be number one, wouldn't he?
At that thought,
Ling Qianxue took a deep breath and didn't dwell on it.
"Murong Dieyi..."
But when she reached the end of the entry and saw Su Changqing mention that Demoness from the Demonic Sect, a hint of hostility appeared in her eyes.
According to how things were supposed to unfold, Senior Brother would meet her and fall in love with her!
She'd struggled with that thought before, but now she realized she still couldn't accept sharing Senior Brother with someone else.
Before she knew it, Ling Qianxue had already accepted that she would become Su Changqing's Dao Companion in the future.
"Senior Brother didn't mention me at all..."
"Am I not as good as Murong Dieyi?"
She gritted her teeth and clenched her delicate fists.
No!
She had to cultivate even harder and surpass Murong Dieyi!
Then would she be able to follow Senior Brother?
At that thought...
Ling Qianxue's cool expression grew resolute, and her eyes softened.
"Senior Brother... In this life, I'll face everything alongside you again!"
She took a deep breath, her resolve firm!
