The so-called Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings are formed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.
Those who make the list can receive gifts from the Heavenly Dao, which is a huge temptation for cultivators!
The Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings do not open simultaneously.
The first to open is the lowest-level Human Ranking.
Anyone under the age of thirty can participate. It tests cultivation speed, strength, and even one's talent.
In other words, the Human Ranking is a preliminary selection, eliminating most of those who do not meet the qualifications.
Therefore, the Human Ranking is also the most fiercely competitive, with open or covert struggles.
Many even choose to hunt down talented individuals to ensure their own people make the list.
Danger and opportunity coexist!
Mu Yunyao has experienced the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings before, and she was one of the beneficiaries.
However, Mu Yunyao prefers a free and unfettered life, so she did not form or join any factions back then.
Over the years, she has only taken Chen Changan as her disciple.
"Senior, this time the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings seem a bit... different."
Hearing Wang Tianji's words, Mu Yunyao frowned, but quickly understood his meaning.
It was indeed somewhat unusual.
"You mean, the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings haven't opened directly, is that right?"
Last time, when the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings appeared, they opened directly. Manifested by the will of the Heavenly Dao, they announced their opening, and everyone in the world could hear and see it.
However, this time, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has already detected the news, and perhaps the people from those major powers have also received the news.
But the Human Ranking has not opened, which has left many people puzzled.
"Where are the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings now?"
"Is it still Cloud Peak?" Mu Yunyao asked.
The last time the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings appeared, they were on Cloud Peak.
They were three scrolls of different colors. As each ranking opened, the scrolls would disappear from the summit and then appear in the sky.
"That's right, it's still on Cloud Peak."
"However... Cloud Peak is now shrouded in a powerful energy, making it impossible to get close, let alone reach the summit."
"Currently, we can only see from afar the three different colored lights flashing on the summit of Cloud Peak," Wang Tianji said truthfully.
Hearing Wang Tianji's words, Mu Yunyao merely glanced at him, then her figure flashed and she disappeared without a trace.
After Mu Yunyao left, Wang Tianji and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"Too terrifying, who is this person?"
"Pavilion Master, do you recognize this person?"
Wang Tianji gave a helpless wry smile. He really didn't know who Mu Yunyao was, but since she knew his Old Ancestor, she must be no ordinary person.
"Are these the kind of people you can inquire about so casually?"
"Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourselves."
"No matter who that person is, they are not someone we can afford to offend."
"Remember, starting today, whether it's Chen Changan or Chen Yunxuan, they are friends, not enemies, to us at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."
"Keep a close watch on Chen Yunxuan and provide appropriate help when the time is right. Do you understand?" Wang Tianji said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
"Let's go, we should head back too."
"Yes."
On the other side, Chen Changan and the others did not linger for too long. After all, their destination this time was the capital, not for sightseeing.
"Yunxuan, according to our plan, we should reach the capital within a month."
"Within this month, have you set any goals for yourself?"
On the road, Chen Changan's sudden words left Chen Yunxuan a bit confused. What goals?
"Old Ancestor, do you mean... cultivation?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"That's right. Although you have already reached the True Qi Realm First Layer, it's really nothing."
"Among people your age, there are many with higher cultivation and stronger strength than you."
"If you don't work hard, how can you stand out among them?"
"Old Ancestor, your teachings are correct. Yunxuan will keep them firmly in mind."
"Starting now, I'll give you a task: before reaching the capital, your cultivation must not be lower than the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer."
"Can you do it?" Chen Changan asked.
"Not lower than the ninth level of the True Qi Realm? Doesn't that mean at least the peak of the ninth level of the True Qi Realm, or even... the Transcendent Realm?"
"With only a month, can you really do it?"
Chen Yunxuan felt a bit nervous, but more so, he was excited!
"Yunxuan will definitely be able to do it," Chen Yunxuan said with determined eyes.
"Good, then this journey will depend on your performance."
"Yes, Old Ancestor."
Ten days later, Yan Gui City.
Chen Zhengyuan looked at the members of the Chen Family before him, his expression filled with emotion, his voice trembling slightly.
"After today, our Chen Family will no longer be a mere family in Yan Gui City."
"Our journey to the capital this time is to reclaim our position as the foremost family from back then."
"But you must remember, the Great Zhou Kingdom is merely our starting point."
"You absolutely cannot disappoint the Old Ancestor, do you understand?" Chen Zhengyuan said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Family Head!"
"Depart!"
According to Chen Changan's instructions, Chen Zhengyuan was to depart more than ten days after them.
During these ten-plus days, Chen Zhengyuan led the Chen Family members without slacking, continuing to improve their cultivation.
"Hahahaha!"
"Good thing we arrived in time, otherwise, we really would have let these Chen Family members escape!"
As Chen Zhengyuan and the others just stepped out of the main gate, they encountered seven or eight people.
Upon hearing their words, Chen Zhengyuan's expression showed no surprise, as if he had already expected them.
"Just as the Old Ancestor predicted, someone really came!" Chen Zhengyuan sneered inwardly.
"What bad luck, a mere Chen Family actually requires us to make such a long trip."
"Don't fight with me over them later, I can wipe all of them out by myself."
"That won't do, then we came here for nothing. I see there are quite a few Chen Family members, let's split them up."
"Hahaha, don't argue, we'll see who kills more later."
These people were from the Shangqing Sect, sent by the Fifth Prince's maternal uncle to eliminate the Chen Family.
In the eyes of the Fifth Prince's maternal uncle, the Chen Family was beneath his notice. Would he personally take action? Wouldn't that be beneath his dignity?
Did the Chen Family deserve his personal attention?
So, he casually dispatched eight people!
In the eyes of these eight people, the Chen Family's current actions were no different from fleeing.
"With just a few of you, you intend to put my Chen Family to death?"
"You must be dreaming."
"Judging by your attire, you should be from the Shangqing Sect, right?"
"Do you truly believe that within the Great Zhou Kingdom, no one dares to provoke your Shangqing Sect?" Chen Zhengyuan said coldly.
"Hahaha, such arrogance."
"That's right, within the Great Zhou Kingdom, no one dares to provoke our Shangqing Sect."
"What? Does your Chen Family have the courage?" the leader said disdainfully.
"Why wouldn't we!"
Chen Zhengyuan sneered and attacked without further ado.
Chen Zhengyuan swung his long saber, and a massive blade light rushed towards the group.
Sensing the power of Chen Zhengyuan's strike, the group couldn't help but tremble.
Not good!
Who said the Chen Family had no strong cultivators?
Chen Zhengyuan's strength was clearly at the Transcendent Realm!
"No!"
Along with the unwilling roars of those eight, with just one strike, Chen Zhengyuan annihilated them all.
"The Shangqing Sect truly doesn't take us seriously."
"But fortunately, they came late, giving me time to raise my cultivation to the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm."
"I wonder where the Old Ancestor and Yunxuan are now."
