The Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North Appear, and Someone Else Makes the Ranking
"Mm, a sudden increase of 120,000 years of cultivation was indeed a great reward. And it even gave this soul beast a Mystic Ice Cultivation Technique?"
Bibi Dong was deeply tempted when she saw the rewards.
The rewards were getting better and better.
"Right, what is the Mystic Ice Cultivation Technique? Could it be a meditation technique?"
Hu Liena asked curiously, feeling that this cultivation technique was anything but simple. "The Spells, Daoist Arts, and Cultivation Techniques the headmaster mentioned before included this too!"
"It might be an advanced meditation technique!"
After giving it some thought, Bibi Dong said, "That would explain why cultivation speed could increase!"
"Right, Teacher is beautiful, smart, and powerful. You figured it out right away, while I didn't think of it at first!"
Hu Liena buttered Bibi Dong up.
"Then... Qingyun Academy is even more terrifying!"
Bibi Dong considered the possibility that cultivation techniques were more profound meditation techniques capable of increasing students' cultivation speed. The implications were unimaginable.
Her expression became somewhat grave.
Just how powerful had Qingyun Academy become?
Perhaps they would find out when the Martial Soul Ranking appeared.
After all, the Martial Soul Ranking was a ranking that judged the strength of martial souls.
If no one from Qingyun Academy made the ranking, then... it would mean that Qingyun Academy's people were all just pretty faces.
But if someone made the ranking, that would be extraordinary.
It would mean they were both beautiful and monstrous geniuses.
Bibi Dong felt helpless at the thought, since she could not find Qingyun Academy.
She could only learn some information about it from the Heavenly Ranking.
The names revealed by the Heavenly Ranking so far were also extremely bizarre.
Like Bi Ji, who had cultivated for more than 500,000 years in the Star Dou Forest.
Or the Ice Empress from the Extreme North.
They had all exceeded the limits of soul beast cultivation years known to them.
People across Douluo Continent were left numb with shock by this information, finding it utterly unbelievable.
At any rate, Bibi Dong found it extremely unbelievable.
Not only Spirit Hall, but even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and others found it utterly unbelievable.
So many soul beasts with cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years had actually been hidden across the continent.
It was simply eye-opening and unbelievable beyond words.
They all stared blankly at the Heavenly Ranking. There were even soul beasts that would turn into stunning beauties after taking human form in the future.
It was completely beyond their expectations and understanding.
Some people even dispatched teams of Soul Masters to investigate the Extreme North.
Naturally, others sent Title Douluo to the Star Dou Forest to investigate whether the so-called Life Lake contained powerful soul beasts.
Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince Palace.
"Another soul beast with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation has made the ranking. It seems there are quite a few soul beasts that will turn into humans and become exceptionally beautiful in the future!"
Elder Guang Ling said curiously.
"Mm, we've truly broadened our horizons this time!"
Elder Snake Lance agreed with Elder Guang Ling.
"Will the next one be seventh place? Or will there still be ties?" Elder Porcupinefish also looked toward the Heavenly Ranking curiously. He found it more and more interesting; the higher the ranking, the better the rewards.
Cultivation techniques and even 120,000 years of cultivation could be given as rewards.
It was simply insane.
He was deeply tempted as well.
Of course, who would not be tempted by such rewards?
Xue Qinghe was also deeply tempted. "What rank do you think I'll place?"
"With Xue'er's looks, there's no need to think about it. At the very least, she'll be in the top three!"
Elder Guang Ling's guess was quite fair. He had originally wanted to say first place, but this Heavenly Ranking clearly had something special about it. It could even assess a person's future appearance. Xue'er might be the most beautiful now, but that might not be the case in the future.
So, for now, he could only say top three.
"Of course it'll be first place!" Elder Snake Lance had been stunned when he first saw the young master's true appearance. Without a second thought, he said this, completely disregarding Elder Guang Ling's estimate.
In any case, saying first place was enough.
"I think second place!" Elder Porcupinefish said with a smile. It was better for their guesses to differ and not be overly repetitive.
"..."
Xue Qinghe had not expected them to estimate her ranking so highly.
Still, she was naturally delighted.
If she could make the top three...
That would be unimaginable.
Of course, she was merely happily entertaining the thought, since the top three were still far away.
Still, she could accept being in the top five.
As long as she could make the ranking, she would feel that it was quite good.
After all, there were many beings from the future in this world.
She was merely one of them.
"I think top five is enough!"
"Xue'er is really becoming more and more humble!"
Guang Ling was quite dissatisfied with Xue'er's modesty. "You are a daughter favored by heaven. You have every reason to be confident, so you will definitely be in the top three!"
"That's right, be more confident!"
"You have to be confident!"
Elder Snake Lance and Elder Porcupinefish encouraged Xue'er together.
"Alright!" Xue Qinghe nodded.
Extreme North.
Snow drifted through a vast expanse of white plains.
This place was forever draped in thick white snow.
Yet the sky was sometimes clear and sometimes overcast.
At the deepest part of the Extreme North, within a vast core region spanning more than a million square kilometers, the light suddenly dimmed.
It was as if daytime had abruptly turned into night, before the sky shifted to a jade-green color.
Inside a massive iceberg was an enormous cave.
The source of that jade-green energy came from within this cave.
A beautiful scorpion roughly one and a half meters long, with two colors covering her body, emerged outside the cave.
Her body gradually transformed into human form.
She gazed up at the sky, her peerlessly beautiful face filled with surprise.
The Beauty Ranking on the Heavenly Ranking could actually know her cultivation and location.
It truly was a miraculous thing.
Of course, she did not know whether the rewards were real, so she watched the Heavenly Ranking warily.
That thing seemed incredibly far away, yet it also felt as though it were right before her eyes.
Her face was cold as frost. She wore a green dress, and even her hair was green.
She stood out vividly amidst the snowy plain.
"Titan Snow Demon Ape... do you think it's real?"
The Ice Empress's spiritual power crossed an immense distance as she communicated with the distant Titan Snow Demon Ape.
"I don't know either. Perhaps the adorable and charming Snow Empress knows!"
The Titan Snow Demon Ape shook his head as he replied.
"You only have Snow Empress in your heart. Unfortunately, she's asleep!"
The Ice Empress rolled her eyes, then discovered that the Heavenly Ranking suddenly began to hum, radiating golden light in every direction.
A beam of golden light shot down from the Heavenly Ranking.
It enveloped the Ice Empress.
The Ice Empress instantly tried to struggle, and icy power surged from her body in all directions.
However, it had no effect whatsoever on the pillar of golden light.
She sensed that the energy within the golden beam was warm and caused her no harm.
Only then did she stop struggling.
She felt the Soul Power within her body continuously soaring.
Ten thousand years... twenty thousand years, thirty thousand, forty thousand years...
Very quickly, her cultivation increased by 120,000 years.
It reached 510,000 years.
She was stunned.
She had not expected the Heavenly Ranking's rewards to actually be real.
This also eased much of her wariness.
Then, she sensed her temperament and charm increasing as well.
Naturally, golden light suddenly flashed before her, and a book appeared.
It startled her so badly that she retreated several steps, only to collide with the Golden Light Wall and bounce back.
She saw three words written on the book: "Mystic Ice Art."
Was this the cultivation technique?
Even soul beasts could understand those words. It truly was strange.
She immediately picked it up, turned around, and returned to her Ice Palace.
"Buzz..."
The Heavenly Ranking changed once more.
