Total Perception!

Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then temporarily suppressed these chaotic thoughts.

He sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to sense the spiritual energy of the Immortal Ranking within his Qi Sea.

The spiritual energy was extremely abundant and pure, unlike the twelve spiritual energies he had seized using the Life-Devouring Method.

"With such abundant spiritual energy, I only need to refine it completely to equal the two years I would spend alone cultivating in this mountain."

Chen Lingxi's eyes shone brightly. "The opportunities on this Immortal Ranking fortuitous opportunity are indeed extraordinary."

"Just as Daoist Shurong said, if one can reach a higher ranking, one can obtain more secrets of the Mystery Mechanism Immortal Ranking."

For me, this is indeed a shortcut that can quickly improve my strength.

He raised his head and looked up at the Immortal Ranking that stood majestically in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the names on the list.

"Jiang Xiu and Wei Qingran are both at the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation. Surrounded by their Dao Foundation Realm incarnations, they are ranked thirty-first and forty-second respectively."

In my opinion, these two are not particularly strong in combat. Even among the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation, there are certainly many people stronger than them.

It seems that most of these newly arrived cultivators are only at the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation stage, and have not yet entered the Dao Foundation Realm.

He pondered in his heart, but his gaze continued upwards, landing on the top names on the list.

"The one ranked first is from the Quexing Xi Family, but his surname is Zhao, not Xi. He should be from a collateral branch of the Xi Family, or perhaps a guest or retainer?"

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the second-place finisher.

"And Bai Lingze of the Yutai Bai Family." Chen Lingxi murmured the name, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Battle of Seizing the Cauldron, Bai Lingze manifested an avatar using a jade pendant, which then transformed into a tornado and retreated with Xi Yu.

At that time, his cultivation level was clearly only at the Qi Circulation, Eleventh Floor.

But now, he is ranked second on the Immortal Ranking, with many places above him.

"It seems that after the Immortal Husk was exposed in this Cave Heaven, the Yutai Bai Family will definitely make a move, and will use Bai Lingze's avatar as a springboard to compete for the Immortal Husk."

Thinking of this, the wariness in his eyes intensified.

"It seems we still need to be wary of Bai Lingze at all times."

This person is Dao Foundation Realm genius from the Yutai Bai Family. He previously attacked me with that great Divine Ability [Fortune-Burying Mystery]... Now that he has attained Dao Foundation Realm cultivation, if he knows my whereabouts, he will surely attack me as well."

We still need to be careful and meticulous.

Chen Lingxi had a plan in mind. With a wave of his hand, something flew out of the Hongdong Bag and hovered in his palm.

It was a small stone tablet, exuding a strong ancient aura and a chilling murderous intent.

It is the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade.

"Now that the Immortal Ranking is hanging high in the sky, and I possess the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade."

If I use this to kill those people on the list at Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, my ranking will rise, and my cultivation level will likely rise rapidly as well."

Chen Lingxi thought this to herself, but she was not in a hurry.

This is because there seem to be many Dao Foundation Realm cultivators on that Immortal Ranking.

With Chen Lingxi's current cultivation level, even with the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade in hand, facing those Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Chen Lingxi pondered carefully.

"Whether it's the Quexing Xi Family or the Yutai Bai Family, they are both my rivals."

Xi Yu knew that Xi Yuan and Xi Mu both died at my hands.

The Yutai Bai Family is closely related to the Quexing Xi Family... If I want to deprive them of their fortuitous opportunity, I should target the Xi and Bai families."

Chen Lingxi's gaze swept across the Immortal Ranking, and finally selected a few names.

The first person, [Bai Huzhong], ranked thirty-second on the Immortal Ranking.

The second person is [Xi Lingqiao], ranked twenty-sixth on the Immortal Ranking.

The third person is Bai Qingchuan, ranked nineteenth on the Immortal Ranking.

The fourth person... [Xi Yuan].

"Xi Yuan... being a member of the Xi Family and ranked tenth, his cultivation level must be extremely terrifying."

The incarnation of such a person is probably not far from the Dao Foundation Realm, and may even have already stepped into the Dao Foundation Realm.

Chen Lingxi's gaze darkened slightly, her thoughts growing deeper.

"Of these four, we must be more cautious when dealing with Xi Yuan... At the very least, we need to find out whether he is at the Dao Foundation Realm Establishment stage or the Qi Circulation Realm stage."

"As for the other three, I have the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade in hand, so I have nothing to fear."

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, she also thought of the two people ranked first and second.

"There are also two Dao Foundation Realm cultivators, Xi Bai and Xi Bai, who are ranked first and second on the Immortal Ranking. If I act rashly, I will surely die once they track me down. I must not take the risk."

His thoughts were in turmoil. Finally, he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the sea of clouds on Inlaid Gold Mountain, looking towards the direction of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

"Within this Cave Heaven, when it comes to combat strength and foundation... I always feel that Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty may be stronger than many of the so-called Dao Foundation Realm figures on the Immortal Ranking."

He recalled the scenes he had witnessed when Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye.

Emperor Daye, a mere mortal from the local area, cultivated to the Dao Foundation Early Stage in the Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven where spiritual energy was depleted, and fought against Daoist Shurong without being at a disadvantage.

He nourished his physical body day and night with the Immortal-Husk Essence, growing stronger with every breath.

The massive array that spanned the entire territory of Great Li was set up by him, seizing the remaining essence and true energy of countless dead beings.

Even the Daoist Shurong, whose true body Dao Foundation Perfection Stage, had an avatar that was at the Perfected Dao Foundation Early Stage. When he fought against Emperor Daye, he was unable to gain the slightest advantage. In fact, Emperor Daye was even more superior in their battle.

"Such a person is unfathomable," he murmured to himself, his thoughtful gaze growing even deeper.

"If I can use him... I can find a glimmer of hope in this predicament."

Even setting aside the possibility of joining forces, simply having Emperor Daye attract the attention of the Xi and Bai families would be a tremendous benefit to me."

With this thought in mind, he subtly moved his consciousness into the Divine Chamber, and then used his Wandering Sight Divine Ability far and wide to glimpse the scene deep within the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

But in the dimly lit side hall, Emperor Daye Ying Xian Daye was still sitting cross-legged.

The pale golden Immortal-Husk Essence surrounding him lingered like a thin mist.

Many days later, Emperor Daye no longer seemed as old as before, nor was he on the verge of death; instead, he looked like a sprightly old man.

His previously hunched posture has straightened considerably.

"Because of that mysterious array and that Immortal Husk... Emperor Daye's chronic ailments seem to be being cured."

Chen Lingxi looked at it for a moment, then Wandering Sight Divine Ability and slowly opened his eyes.

He sat cross-legged and began to refine the profound spiritual energy brought to him by the forty-ninth place on the Immortal Ranking.

Time passed quietly, and after only twenty-odd days, Chen Lingxi slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea became even more abundant and substantial, and he was not far from accumulating the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation.

"Such a brilliant idea is truly extraordinary."

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, and his consciousness sank into the Divine Chamber to Sight-Roaming and determine the location of Emperor Daye.

Emperor Daye was still in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Chen Lingxi immediately stood up, concealing his presence and aura with the Concealed Edge Method, and quietly moved through the clouds and mist, heading straight for the Great Zhou.

When they reached a point eight hundred li from the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged in a lush bamboo forest.

He took a deep breath, and a wisp of his consciousness returned to the Divine Chamber.

After years of cultivation, Chen Lingxi's progress in Total Perception Essence Replenishment has long been perfected.

As soon as Chen Lingxi had a thought, he felt his consciousness being pulled by a mysterious force and then falling into Chen Lingxi's body in the Divine Chamber!

Total Perception Divine Chamber!

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes and looked into the Void.

A bright mirror, like a blazing sun, hangs high in the sky, while another silvery-white jade disc reflects its image.

With the Twin Luminous Mirrors shining high in the sky, Chen Lingxi relaxed and took to the clouds, heading towards the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
