Nine Netherworlds, at the edge of the Blood Sea!
The Asura Clan warriors had all gathered together, their expressions extremely grave.
Only the final two places remained on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking. Yet so far, not a single member of the Asura Clan had appeared, leaving them vaguely disappointed.
After all, Blood Ji's previous reward had made many clan members deeply envious.
They had waited for so long because they wanted to shock Hong Huang once more on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking.
But now, it seemed there was no hope.
Demon Clan, Demon God Palace!
Di Jun and Taiyi did not look pleased either.
None of those under their command had appeared on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking either. If this continued, would it not be telling the Myriad Races of Hong Huang that their demon clan was inferior to the Saint's Orthodoxy disciples?
Witch Clan Ancestral Land!
The Eleven Ancestral Witches and the many Witch Kings all wore icy expressions.
They stared fixedly at the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.
On the previous Treasure Ranking, the Witch Race had already lagged behind the demon clan and had even fallen short of the Immortal Court.
Now, there was not a single member of the Witch Race on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking either. This left them extremely unsettled.
Immortal Court!
East Prince and West Queen Mother were also watching the rankings on the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.
This time, no Immortal Court immortal had appeared on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, and East Prince could not sit still.
The Saint's Orthodoxy's prestige had soared, while the authority of East Prince, the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Court's fortune had inexplicably weakened considerably.
If this continued, how could he command Hong Huang?
As the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts watched the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking with grave expressions,
golden words appeared on the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking once more.
[Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, second place: Yunxiao!]
[Sect of Interception disciple!]
[Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!]
[Ranking reward: Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler! Fifty strands of Slaughter Law! One hundred thousand years of cultivation! Three Yellow Middle Plums!]
"Hm?"
"A Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure?"
"The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler was actually awarded?"
"This treasure originated from the same source as the Human Teachings Saint's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Its offensive power is terrifying!"
"I heard this treasure possesses Xuanhuang Merit, so killing with it does not incur karma?"
"Isn't this Yunxiao the one who, like Old Ancestor Minghe, obtained Primordial Violet Qi before?"
"Yes, it's her!"
"It seems that over these thousand years, Yunxiao has already fused with the Primordial Violet Qi!"
"..."
At that moment, all the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts were stunned.
No one had expected a Sect of Interception disciple to obtain the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler. More importantly, this woman had previously obtained Primordial Violet Qi through an exceptionally powerful treasure.
Now that she had obtained another Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, her future cultivation would surely surpass all imagination. The Sect of Interception might well produce another Saint-level combatant.
"Hahahaha!"
"Excellent! Yunxiao has truly brought This Venerable glory!"
"This Innate Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, possesses astonishing might. It can even contend against This Venerable's enhanced Immortal Slaying Sword!"
"Whoever obtains this treasure shall gain boundless fortune. From now on, Yunxiao shall be the foremost female immortal of the Sect of Interception and receive This Venerable's true teachings!"
Above Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian's laughter shook heaven and earth.
He had thought that after Duo Bao's name appeared, the Sect of Interception would no longer be able to ascend the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking. He had not expected Yunxiao to claim second place on the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking afterward.

Yunxiao obtaining Primordial Violet Qi earlier had already delighted him greatly.
Originally, Yunxiao's battle power had been inferior to Duo Bao's. He had never expected that, after comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi over these thousand years, Yunxiao's battle power would surpass Duo Bao's.
As long as she held on until the rewards were distributed, Yunxiao would obtain the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.
In that case, whether before his two brothers, his many Saint fellow Daoists, or the Myriad Races Experts, his standing would greatly rise.
At this moment, inside the Three Pure Ones Hall!
Yuanshi's expression turned extremely cold as he subconsciously looked toward where the Sect of Interception disciples had gathered.
"I never expected Yunxiao to possess such battle power. Could it be because she comprehended that Primordial Violet Qi?"
Yuanshi did not want to admit that Sect of Interception disciples were stronger than Chan Sect disciples.
"Alas!"
"This woman has profound fortune. She may truly have a chance to attain the Dao in the future!"
Laozi's expression did not look good either. He had not expected his only disciple to be inferior even to an Outer Disciple of the Sect of Interception.
How would they have any right to criticize Tongtian for accepting disciples in the future?
Outside the Three Pure Ones Hall, the many Chan Sect disciples all revealed deep dissatisfaction.
"Hmph!"
"How could This Seat's strength actually be inferior to those Sect of Interception fools born with fur and horns, hatched from eggs and born from dampness?"
"Exactly! How could we possibly lose to those worthless fellows?"
"There must be some problem. Today, This Seat will find those Sect of Interception people and have a proper match with them!"
"That's right, let's go test ourselves against the Sect of Interception disciples!"
"..."
As soon as Guang Chengzi spoke, all the Chan Sect disciples angrily shouted in agreement.
They were deeply unconvinced, while also filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
After all, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler possessed power comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure and was enough to intimidate Hong Huang.
For it to fall into the hands of a female Sect of Interception disciple they had always looked down upon—how could they accept that?
Thus, after their words fell, they set off in a grand procession toward the place where the Sect of Interception disciples were gathered.
Yuanshi and Laozi naturally saw this scene.
"Second Brother, will you not stop them?"
"If they anger Third Brother, we will lose face as well!"
Laozi looked at Yuanshi and offered a reminder.
However, Yuanshi had already developed a strong sense of unwillingness. He also wanted to see what abilities the Sect of Interception disciples possessed to actually suppress the Chan Sect disciples.
Therefore, he did not speak and tacitly allowed the matter.
Very soon, the Chan Sect disciples arrived outside the Sect of Interception disciples. Each of them looked toward Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and Duo Bao with unconvinced expressions.
"We pay respects to Martial Uncle Tongtian!"
"We heard that the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking had updated and mentioned the battle power rankings of Junior Sister Yunxiao, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, and Junior Brother Duo Bao. We have come specifically to seek guidance!"
"We hope Martial Uncle will grant permission!"
Guang Chengzi stepped forward first and cupped his hands toward Tongtian.
His words carried a faint trace of provocation.
Tongtian's brows knit slightly. He immediately understood the purpose of these people and could not help revealing a hint of disdain.
"When the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking previously updated the Golden Immortal Battle Power Ranking, countless challengers came forth, and all were defeated!"
"This proves that the rankings on this list contain not the slightest falsehood!"
"Therefore, you are not opponents for This Venerable's disciples. Leave at once, cultivate in peace, and return to spar with This Venerable's disciples once your strength has improved!"
It was not that Tongtian did not want Yunxiao and the others to teach these Chan Sect disciples a lesson. But blades and swords had no eyes. If their anger truly flared and they injured the Chan Sect disciples, his brother would likely be unable to save face.
"Master, in this disciple's view, these fellows are merely cowardly and afraid of losing face!"
"Only the first two places on the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking remain unrevealed. Once they are announced, challengers will surely emerge!"
"If you refuse to accept this, settle it in the arena—decide superiority, and decide life and death. That way, we will not need to spare Yuanshi's face and refrain from killing you!"
At that moment, Duo Bao abruptly stepped forward. He first saluted Tongtian, then began mocking Guang Chengzi and the others.
He was already full of frustration with nowhere to vent it. Since these Chan Sect disciples had come looking for trouble, he naturally had no pleasant words for them.
