Immortal Palace! Stone Tablet Ranking

Nei Guang Peak.

This peak is the highest mountain in the entire Giant Spirit Secret Realm, with an incredibly thick layer of colorful auspicious clouds connecting to its summit.

Spiritual Sense reaching this point would be blocked by a mysterious and powerful force, making it completely impossible to probe the scene within or above the auspicious clouds.

However, when the Giant Spirit Secret Realm was about to close last time, the colorful auspicious clouds became much thinner, revealing the massive architectural complex above.

Coupled with a lingering melody echoing throughout the entire secret realm.

"Next time the secret realm opens, whoever reaches Nei Guang Peak can enter the Immortal Palace."

And this was the true origin of the Immortal Palace!

At this moment, Xiao Yao and Dai Tianwei had both flown to the outskirts of Nei Guang Peak.

The two gazed at the surroundings of Nei Guang Peak, their faces filled with the joy of seeing something new.

Compared to Dai Tianwei, Xiao Yao quickly lost his sense of novelty.

Instead, he remembered that he hadn't signed in today.

So, he silently recited in his mind: "Sign in!"

[Beep! Sign-in successful, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward of advancing one minor realm.]

The aura of Xiao Yao's entire body rapidly surged, and in the blink of an eye, his cultivation advanced to the peak of the sixth level of the Sea Opening Realm.

Dai Tianwei, standing beside him, was a little confused but didn't suspect anything out of the ordinary.

In her opinion, Brother Xiao Yao must have had a profound realization after seeing Nei Guang Peak, which directly led to a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Seeing that Dai Tianwei didn't ask, Xiao Yao didn't explain. Instead, he said, "Shall we go to Nei Guang Peak now?"

"Okay!" Dai Tianwei had no objections whatsoever.

Xiao Yao's brow furrowed slightly. He had a feeling that Dai Tianwei was being too compliant!

But he couldn't say anything. After all, this was Dai Tianwei's own business.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two sharp beams of light descended gracefully, and Xiao Yao and Dai Tianwei appeared at the foot of Nei Guang Peak.

At a glance, it was filled with cultivators; it was a sea of people.

At this moment, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, held in Xiao Yao's arms, suddenly opened its eyes, no longer appearing to be in a deep sleep.

"Ying ying ying!" the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox cried incessantly.

Xiao Yao glanced at it, stroked its head with his hand, and asked in confusion, "Why did you wake up so suddenly?"

Seeing that Xiao Yao couldn't understand what it was saying, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox flew up, gestured with its front paws, and finally pointed to its belly.

"Are you hungry?"

As soon as Xiao Yao said this, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox immediately nodded and cried "Ying ying ying" in agreement.

In response, Xiao Yao took out the dry rations he had prepared for himself, but the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox merely sniffed them and shook its head dejectedly.

Doesn't eat human food? This is a bit tricky!

Just then, a low-grade spirit stone happened to fall out of the cloth bag that had been wrapping the dry rations.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's eyes lit up. It darted towards the low-grade spirit stone like a startled rabbit, then stuck out its tongue, rolled it into its mouth, and chewed with a smile all over its face.

"Low-grade spirit stones can be food too?"

Xiao Yao was greatly shocked and could only sigh in his heart that divine beasts were indeed divine beasts; their food was completely different from that of normal spirit beasts.

Afterward, he directly summoned ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's eyes widened when it saw them!

"Eat up!"

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox immediately entered a state of ravenous consumption. With a wide opening of its maw, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones were sucked into its belly.

Just when he thought that would be enough to fill the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox!

However, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox pointed to its fluffy little belly again, whimpering with a wronged expression, "Ying ying ying!"

Clearly, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was not full.

Xiao Yao didn't care about this, who told him he had over ten million low-grade spirit stones!

In a short while, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox had swallowed one million low-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Yao's expression sank. For such a small creature to eat a million low-grade spirit stones was something he would never have believed if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Most importantly, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox still looked like it wasn't full.

At this moment, he felt that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox might have taken a liking to him because it sensed he possessed a large quantity of low-grade spirit stones.

But this was just a guess, with no evidence to support it.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox seemed to sense Xiao Yao's unease. Although it still needed to eat more low-grade spirit stones, it held back, patted its belly with its front paws, and pretended to burp.

Xiao Yao was amused by this little act!

"Little fox, you should be glad you're following me. Anyone else, and you'd be bankrupt by now!"

Then, he took out a million Low-grade spirit stones in one go.

Instantly, Xiao Yao became the most dazzling person in the entire venue.

"Holy crap! He just took out a million Low-grade spirit stones at once!"

"So much! It's an insane amount!"

"He must be quite well-off back home!"

"Rich guy, I don't want to work hard anymore, please take me as your slave!"

Xiao Yao naturally ignored them and stared intently at the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, refusing to believe it could swallow them all in one go.

However, a face-slapping moment arrived. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, like a whale, gulped down the million Low-grade spirit stones in one breath.

At this, many cultivators who had been eyeing the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox were stunned in place.

Given their current financial situation, they couldn't afford to keep such a divine beast!

After absorbing the spirit stones, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox looked at Xiao Yao with a wronged expression.

Xiao Yao didn't soften this time. Instead, he smiled with a dark expression, "Little fox, you're still not full?"

"Ying ying ying!" The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox felt guilty internally, but it genuinely needed to continue absorbing Low-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Yao wasn't reluctant to part with the Low-grade spirit stones; it was just that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox before him was like a bottomless pit.

No matter how many Low-grade spirit stones he took out, it would swallow them all, which made him feel a little creeped out.

At the same time, he realized the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox might not be hungry but needed to replenish its energy.

As for what it would do after replenishing its energy, he didn't know, but he had a vague feeling it was related to Neon Glow Peak.

Just then, Dai Tianwei's clear and sweet voice rang out, "Brother Xiao Yao, Neon Glow Peak, which we need to climb, hasn't opened yet."

"Hasn't opened?"

Xiao Yao was stunned. He remembered the book stating that once the Giant Spirit Secret Realm opened, all opportunities would become available. He had never encountered a situation like this before!

After thinking for a while, he gave up. This was not something a cultivator at the Sea Opening Realm could figure out.

He turned his gaze to the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, which had lowered its head. Xiao Yao gently patted it and said, "I'll see just how many Low-grade spirit stones you'll swallow."

The next moment, he released another million Low-grade spirit stones.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's eyes were filled with joy, and it immediately began to devour them greedily.

This cycle continued. After the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox had consumed ten million Low-grade spirit stones, it let out a satisfied burp.

"You can only swallow ten million Low-grade spirit stones? I can afford that much food for you."

The cultivators around them had their mouths wide open. While astonished, they couldn't help but exclaim, "So rich!"

"If only I were as rich as him!"

"So extravagant! F***ing extravagant!"

Dai Tianwei, however, was not impressed. Ten million Low-grade spirit stones were merely a drop in the bucket for the Shocking Heaven Tower!

Just then, the previously silent Neon Glow Peak suddenly erupted with seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—looking incredibly brilliant.

Immediately after, a pressure far stronger than that within the Giant Spirit Secret Realm swept across the entire Neon Glow Peak.

Except for a very few powerful Transcendent Realm cultivators, everyone else was forced to their knees.

Law Condensation Realm cultivators struggled to stand, veins bulging, finding it difficult even to remain upright.

Most Sea Opening Realm cultivators were unaffected, but they could feel that the pressure had increased immensely!

Rumble!

With a deafening sound, the ground began to shake violently.

Soon, a massive stone tablet appeared in front of the steps leading up Neon Glow Peak.

Upon closer inspection, it was covered with countless names and other information.

"1, Yan Yuanyan [Eastern Victory Domain], 871st step, Star Moon Holy Land!"

"2, Chi Dixiang [Purple Origin Domain], 845th step, Ultimate Mountain Gathering!"

"3, Rong Can Pavilion [Eastern Victory Domain], 812th step, Mysterious Sun Branch!"

4, Miao Huanjun [Northern Strength Domain], 811th step, Heavenly Wolf Inn!

"5, Deng Meinian [North Jiangsu Domain], 799th step, Ascending Dragon Alliance!"

"10000, Liang Tai [Taixing Domain], 314th step, Cheng Xue Dynasty!"

At a glance, the Eastern Victory Domain had the most names listed.

In fact, this was true; in this world, the cultivators of the Eastern Victory Domain were generally the strongest.

Additionally, the entire Eastern Victory Domain has nine Emperor Tier cultivators, the most Emperor Tier cultivators among all domains.

At the same time, Xiao Yao had already learned that the entire stone tablet contained ten thousand names.

Notably, the Southern Wilderness Domain had none.

This was also quite normal, as the stone tablet only appeared during this Giant Spirit Secret Realm, and had not appeared during the previous two times.

Therefore, these were not the main points.

The main point was that no cultivator had reached the summit so far, meaning they had not stepped onto the 1000th step of Neon Light Peak.

This was enough to show that reaching the summit was an extremely, extremely difficult matter.

Whoosh!

A beam of light cut through the sky, and a handsome young man in black and white Taoist robes descended gracefully.

"This divine son has waited for a long time, and it has finally opened. Today, I will show you my power."

Xiao Yao took one look and learned through his Heavenly Spirit Eyes that the other party's specific cultivation was the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm.

"Who is this young man?"

As soon as the voice fell, a knowledgeable cultivator explained, "He is one of the eighteen divine sons of the Tai Chi Pavilion, named Miao Feihong. He is a strong contender to ascend Neon Light Peak this time."

At this moment, Dai Tianwei stood frozen. She had always thought Xiao Yao was the divine son of the Tai Chi Pavilion.

Then, what was Big Brother Xiao Yao's identity?

Why did he possess the Tai Chi Pavilion's Saint tier magic treasure, the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror?
