"The leaderboard will open in an hour. I wonder if my score is good enough to get me first place?" Xiao Yao asked uncertainly.
At this moment, Zhuo Dongxuan, Dai Tianwei, and Lu Hongyu all froze, and their lips twitched.
They were all thinking to themselves, "How could 17,412 points not be enough to be number one on the leaderboard?"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Hongyu realized that the map had not yet been given to Xiao Yao, so she manipulated Fang Yongrui, who had become her puppet, to release the map from his sea of consciousness.
" Your Holy Son, please receive the map."
Xiao Yao nodded slightly and Mana to draw the map from in front of Fang Yongrui.
With a quick glance, it became clear that the map was unclaimed; obviously, the binding had been broken when Yu'er manipulated Fang Yongrui to create the map.
Without the slightest hesitation, he absorbed the map into his mind and simultaneously bound it to his consciousness.
At this point, he had obtained the sixth map.
Based on the positions arranged within his sea of consciousness, he further divided the map, numbering it from top to bottom and from left to right.
He currently possesses maps numbered 3, 4, 8, Number 11, 14, and 15.
They have already harvested all the fixed opportunity points on maps 3, 4, and 14.
The next goal is to collect the fixed opportunity points on maps 8, Number 11, and 15.
However, before that, Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something and looked at Dai Tianwei, who had her hair in pigtails, with gentle eyes.
"By the way! Xiao Wei, now's the time. Is there anything you want to ask? I can answer it for you."
Dai Tianwei was stunned for a moment; she really hadn't expected Xiao Yao to say that.
After all, we should be racing against time to gain points; there's no time for explanations!
But since Xiao Yao had already said that, she naturally couldn't let him down, so she parted her pink lips slightly and said, "I really want to know why you were able to arrive so quickly? Before, I thought I wouldn't survive."
"You just happened to trespass on my map, and in order to obtain more maps, I naturally had to steal them," Xiao Yao explained.
In an instant, Dai Tianwei's beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if she had just realized something.
Then, a new question arose in her mind, and she asked, "Then why was it so timely? Logically speaking, you were most likely not near the location I intruded into!"
"That's because within the map I possess, any point of light can be directly teleported through space," Xiao Yao said with a light smile.
Dai Tianwei was stunned again. Compared to Xiao Yao, she was like a baby who had just learned to walk.
My knowledge of maps is far too limited!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up being hunted down by Wu Wendong to the point where they couldn't survive.
"The only thing I don't know right now is whether I can teleport back to my own map while I'm on someone else's map?" Xiao Yao, a look of doubt on his handsome face.
In response, Lu Hongyu interjected, "That's simple! Just give one of us a map, and then we can go to that map and test it!"
"That's right!" Xiao Yao exclaimed.
Therefore, he unbound the newly acquired Map 8, transferred it to Lu Hongyu, flew out of the boundary of Map 4, and arrived inside Map 8.
He then activated the map teleportation function towards Lu Hongyu in front of him.
Nothing happened; he remained in the same spot, without moving an inch.
Xiao Yao immediately realized that he could only freely teleport within the incomplete map he possessed.
This is actually quite normal. If someone didn't successfully use spatial teleportation within the incomplete map they possessed, how could they possibly collect all the incomplete maps?
After all, teleportation via the map ignores spatial seals!
But just to be on the safe side, it's best to try it a few more times to avoid any mishaps.
So Xiao Yao launched spatial teleportation over a hundred times, even switching to other objects instead of Yu'er, but the result was that they didn't move an inch.
Therefore, the previous conclusion must be correct.
Xiao Yao then flew back to map number 4, his expression serious, and said solemnly, "Teleportation can only be successfully performed within a map that you own."
"That's right, otherwise it would be too cheating!" Lu Hongyu affirmed.
Next, map number 8 was unbound and returned to Xiao Yao.
"Alright! Next, let's collect the fixed opportunity points in the three newly acquired maps."
About an hour later.
Xiao Yao and his group of four, along with two puppets, have already harvested one-tenth of the fixed opportunity points within map number 8.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of loud sounds came from above, causing Xiao Yao and the other three to look up.
A monument made of golden, transparent crystal appeared before their eyes, looking quite mystical.
Soon, the words "Points Leaderboard" appeared on the empty screen, and below the points leaderboard were the rankings from 1st to 100th place.
[Leadership Ranking]
[1st Place, Xiao Yao, 20123 points]
[2nd Place: Lu Hongyu, 19475 points]
[3rd Place, Zhuo Dongxuan, 19061 points]
[4th Place, Dai Tianwei, 10844 points]
[5th Place, Wang Yongfeng, 2459 points]
[100th place, Shi Yulan, 1011 points]
The cultivators participating in this Starry Sky Immortal Path World Selection were incredibly shocked and envious when they saw the 1st place finisher rise to 4th place.
But when they saw the fifth place, they were stunned!
When the gap between 3rd and 4th place was more than 8,000 points, they felt it was still acceptable, since both had more than 10,000 points.
However, the gap between 4th and 5th place is more than 8,000 points, which they cannot accept because the gap is too large!
It was only a difference of two places, but the result was a difference of more than 16,000 points. It's really unacceptable!
Many cultivators from maps 3, 4, and 14, and even from the incomplete map 8 which was being exploited by Xiao Yao and his group, understood that Xiao Yao and his group had snatched all the opportunities from the fixed opportunity points!
But many more cultivators were confused and shouted in bewilderment.
" Xiao Yao, number one on the leaderboard! How did he do it?"
"He is the Demonic Path Saint Son, his Third Master is the Ruler of the Demonic Path Dragon Palace, and his Fourth Master is the Ruler of the Dragon Palace. The cultivators of the Demonic Path and the Dragon Palace joined forces to wipe out the cultivators around him, so he must have taken away the Little Golden Star of many cultivators!"
"I remember that Little Golden Star can add at least 50 points, so 20,000 points means 400 cultivators will suffer?"
"By the way, how many cultivators participated in the Starry Sky Immortal Path World Selection this time?"
"I remember there were always 10,000 cultivators each time. This time, because the Demonic Path and the Dragon Palace joined forces, and the Zhengyuan Alliance and the Heavenly Court were destroyed, they managed to obtain more than 6,000 Little Golden Star."
"Is it possible that the cultivators of the Demonic Path and the Dragon Palace voluntarily gifted Little Golden Star to the Demonic Path Saint Son?"
"If it were just the Demonic Path Saint Son with 20,000 points, then what you said might be possible. The problem is that there are also two with over 19,000 points and one with over 10,000 points. They don't seem as noble Demonic Path Saint Son. How could they possibly make the cultivators of the Demonic Path and the Dragon Palace willingly offer up their Little Golden Star?"
For a moment, many cultivators fell silent.
At the same time, Xiao Yao glanced at Fang Yongrui, who had become a puppet. He really didn't expect that Fang Yongrui's previous score could reach fourth place.
The other cultivators are just too incompetent!
Or was it simply because he had such a strong grasp of the map?
However, it is certain that among these top 100 cultivators, there are definitely some who possess the remaining 10 incomplete maps.
Even most of the incomplete maps are among these top 100 cultivators.
He's currently busy harvesting fixed opportunity points, so he doesn't have the time or energy to cause trouble for these people.
"Keep harvesting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yao and his three companions, along with two puppets, began harvesting the fixed opportunity points on the incomplete map number 8.
Ten hours passed.
There are no more orange dots on the incomplete map #8.
Immediately, Xiao Yao moved his thoughts and headed towards the Number 11 incomplete map.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After a series of soft sounds, the place was left empty, filled with despairing cultivators.
Of course, both the Demonic Path cultivators and the Dragon Palace cultivators admired Xiao Yao.
Because this is something many people want to do, but cannot.
"So Demonic Path cultivators can be this useless!"
"Your body is quite tough! You've been beaten by me for so long and you're still alive. Are you really at the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm?"
Upon hearing these sounds, Xiao Yao extended his Spiritual Sense and discovered a familiar figure— the Ghost Fiend Demon Emperor.
How did this thing get here?
Third Master, you wouldn't have softened your heart again, would you?
At the same time, Bai Yun'er, who was watching, was also full of surprise and asked in confusion, "Why is my junior brother here? How did he obtain the Little Golden Star?"
