After listening to Liao Zhengyi's explanation, Wu Tao roughly understood the Spirit Transformation Prodigy Ranking. Most of the Deity Transformation Sovereigns who made it onto the ranking came from cultivation sects, while fewer than a hundred were Rogue Cultivators. This situation was perfectly normal.
The legacy and foundations Rogue Cultivators could obtain naturally could not compare to those of sixth-grade or higher cultivation powers.
As for Cai Chao, although his status was Deputy City Lord of Tianyang City, in essence he was still a Rogue Cultivator, so naturally it was extremely difficult for him to enter the Spirit Transformation Prodigy Ranking.
However, the Spirit Transformation Prodigy Ranking had actually not been created by the twelve cultivation sects, but came from the eighth-grade cultivation sect, the Heavenly Mystery Sect. Then this eighth-grade cultivation sect, the Heavenly Mystery Sect, had definitely once produced an Immortal who had ascended to immortality.
With this guess, Wu Tao immediately asked, "fellow daoist Liao, has this Heavenly Mystery Sect that draws up the Spirit Transformation Prodigy Ranking ever given birth to an Immortal?"
Hearing this, Liao Zhengyi nodded and said, "That's right. The Heavenly Mystery Sect has given birth to an Immortal before. However, what the cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Sect cultivate are all arts of heavenly mystery deduction, so in terms of combat power, they are inferior to the twelve great ninth-grade cultivation sects."
"But in the end, it is a cultivation sect that has produced an Immortal. No matter how fallen it is, it cannot fall too far. Moreover, relying on that half-Immortal Tool, the Tianji Stone Stele, the Heavenly Mystery Sect's position is very special. The twelve ninth-grade cultivation sects all give the Heavenly Mystery Sect a great deal of face."
"The half-Immortal Tool, the Tianji Stone Stele?" Wu Tao's heart stirred
