Chen Lingxi took out the Divine Ability Jade and slowly channeled his Divine Sense into it.

On that sacred jade tablet were engraved the [Heavenly-Law Edict], each word like a pearl, each sentence like gold, possessing a magnificent and solemn aura.

But this great Divine Ability is truly too mysterious.

Heavenly-Law Edict and edicts, words become law; we request a Heavenly Law from the Great Dao.

Once the Heavenly Law are decreed, they can prohibit all things and lock up all laws; their power is unimaginable.

But the more difficult it is, the more challenging it becomes to cultivate oneself.

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged deep within the Water-Curtain Cave, carefully comprehending the methods of the Heavenly-Law Edict.

He considered himself to have exceptional comprehension and talent among the younger generation of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, yet he remained completely lost when faced with this Heavenly-Law Edict.

A month has passed quietly like this.

A month later, Chen Lingxi opened her eyes and shook her head slightly.

"With my current level of understanding... it's far too difficult to comprehend the Heavenly-Law Edict in a short period of time."

He muttered to himself, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

Within the dragon sculpture of the Dragon-Offering Main Sect, there is a Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking!

"Last time I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't get a chance to witness the wonders of the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking." Chen Lingxi murmured to himself, his eyes gradually brightening.

The Immortal Ranking is an extraordinary Cauldron Vessel, seemingly encompassing countless secret Cave Heaven, and the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

When Chen Lingxi was in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, he had used the spiritual power of the Immortal Ranking to save countless years of cultivation.

And now... the Dragon-Offering Sect Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking of the Fenglong Sect is right before our eyes.

"Why don't I seize this fortuitous opportunity and see if it can help me in cultivating the Heavenly-Law Edict?"

Thinking this way, the spark of understanding in his heart ignited like a wildfire.

Chen Lingxi immediately got up and went to find Yuan Lingyu.

Yuan Lingyu is currently in seclusion for cultivation.

Her Divine Sense flowed before the cave abode, and she sensed that someone had come to visit.

If anyone else comes to visit, Yuan Lingyu will definitely ignore them.

But when she realized that the person who came was Chen Lingxi, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

She finished her practice, stood up, dispersed the thick fog that lingered in front of the cave abode, and went out to greet them.

"Senior brother, you've emerged from seclusion?" She greeted him with a smile, her eyes crinkling, her voice filled with joy. "I went to look for you a few days ago, but seeing the Outer Dao energy flowing outside your cave abode, I didn't dare disturb you."

Chen Lingxi nodded and walked into the cave abode with her.

Yuan Lingyu's cave abode was decorated quite elegantly, with several landscape paintings hanging on the four walls and a small bronze stove on the table, from which a faint fragrance of incense burned.

She personally poured Chen Lingxi a cup of tea before sitting down opposite him, looking at him with her eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Chen Lingxi didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Junior Sister, what exactly is the origin of the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking of the Dragon-Offering Sect sect? And how can one obtain the fortuitous opportunity listed on that Immortal Ranking?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lingyu put down his teacup and said solemnly, "Senior brother, you may not know this, but the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking is formed from the wondrous power of the [Immortal Ranking] Cauldron Vessel, and is extremely extraordinary."

It has Four Profound Rankings, each corresponding to the Dao Foundation Early Stage to the Dao Foundation Perfection Stage.

Any cultivator with the Dao Foundation Realm cultivation level who is fortunate enough to be listed on the Immortal Ranking can receive spiritual gifts from it.

That spiritual energy refines the Dao Platform, nourishes the Profound Root, and enhances comprehension and talent—far surpassing the effects of ordinary breathing exercises.

"The Four Profound Rankings..." Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with some doubt, "Aren't those from the Golden Grotto Realm, or even those at the Golden Core Realm, included in the Immortal Ranking?"

Yuan Lingyu shook her head. "It's not that I won't be included in the Immortal Ranking, but rather that I won't be included in the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking."

The Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking is limited to the Dragon-Offering Territory.

It is said that... throughout the entire Nine-Towers Land, and even the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, there is a Immortal Ranking hanging high.

Perhaps even stronger figures reside on that Immortal Ranking.

Upon hearing her say this, Chen Lingxi's heart stirred.

He originally thought that the Immortal Ranking only manifested in a few secret realms or Cave Heaven, or in a limited area, but he never expected that it would cover such a wide area.

If the entire Nine-Towers Land, and even the entire Great Xuanzhuo Realm, had Immortal Ranking hanging high above it...

He was about to ask again when he saw Yuan Lingyu's eyes suddenly flicker at this point.

She looked around, as if afraid someone might overhear some secret.

Immediately, she quietly approached Chen Lingxi, lowered her voice, and sent out her Divine Sense, whispering in his ear:

"Senior brother, I once obtained a Cauldron Artifact Fragment, named [Fate-Knowing Cicada].

The Cauldron Artifact Fragment was quite peculiar; it could reveal secrets at random, and it even showed them to me through the chirping of cicadas!

Before it had even dissipated, it told me...

She paused slightly, her voice growing even softer.

"The Great Luo Heaven is about to unify the Nine Palaces, placing a single Cauldron Vessel of fortuitous opportunity high above Nine Palaces, with a Mysterious Seat Mysterious Lord the Nine Palaces, allowing all fortuitous opportunity within the Nine Palaces to flow freely, and enabling all sects, mystical clans, and immortal races to compete and advance simultaneously..."

As she finished speaking, her gaze suddenly turned towards the direction of the Dragon-Offering Main Sect, and an indescribable light flashed in her clear eyes.

"Perhaps..." she whispered, "Those two Great Luo Heavenly Immortal came here because of this matter!"

The cave abode fell silent for a moment.

Chen Lingxi was greatly surprised. Although he had only been in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm for a short time and had not even left the Dragon-Offering Territory.

However, back in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, he already knew that the Nine-Towers Land was quite vast, and that there were countless Xuanmen Immortal Clan members within it.

There are even quite a few behemoths like the Dragon-Offering Sect.

Thunder Pool, Calamity Sea, Southern Heaven Domain, Dao-Below Academy, Candleflame Star, Que Star, Jade Platform... numerous forces stand on equal footing in this Nine-Towers Land, their territories vast beyond description.

Among them were many powerful cultivators, not to mention those at the Dao Foundation Realm Establishment stage.

There are quite a few people in the Golden Grotto Realm, and even true True Lord.

Such a vast region is to be integrated into one place by the Great Luo Heaven, with the Mysterious Lord in charge. Such a move is far too grand.

In a vast region, numerous forces stand side by side, vying for fortuitous opportunity, competing with each other, and refusing to submit. Yet, the Great Luo Heaven is able to subdue so many Xuanmen Immortal Clan members and so many powerful individuals. This shows just how powerful the Great Luo Heaven is.

"If it is indeed Cauldron Artifact Fragment, it is probably true."

Besides, Lingyu wouldn't lie to me.

Chen Lingxi sighed inwardly, then narrowed her eyes...

If what Yuan Lingyu said is true, the various mystical sects and immortal clans Nine-Towers Land will surely share fortuitous opportunity and transform into a huge whole. Although this means more brutal competition, it also means more extraordinary fortuitous opportunity.

"Since this has happened in the Nine-Towers Land, we should prepare early and raise our strength to the Dao Foundation Middle Stage as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Chen Lingxi asked Yuan Lingyu, "Lingyu, I once defeated Lian Sheng, who was on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking, but the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking never appeared, and my name was never listed on it."

"But I wonder how cultivators like us could possibly be listed on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking?"

Yuan Lingyu patiently explained, "Although my senior brother entered Deer-Sleeping Peak earlier than me, he has always been in seclusion to cultivate... Lingyu is mischievous and has also inquired about many things from several senior brothers, and happened to know about this matter."

For us Dao Foundation Realm cultivators, it's quite simple to get on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking.

All you need to do is go to the dragon sculpture and ask for the Immortal Ranking!

The Immortal Ranking possesses its own spirit and profound mysteries. Cultivators can invoke the Immortal Ranking, and the wondrous artifacts of the Cauldron Vessel can open up the Void, projecting their avatars. They only need to contend with those projections, and the result will reveal whether they have made it onto the list, and whether they will be listed among them!

Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly; this was indeed somewhat different from the Immortal Ranking in the Unlimited Cave Heaven.

The Immortal Ranking of Weiji Grotto-Heaven requires one to compete with and defeat the strongest individuals on the list to gain a place on the Immortal Ranking and seize their spiritual essence. However, the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking seems to be even simpler.

"There's no time to lose."

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Yuan Lingyu.

"Junior sister, I now plan to go to the Dragon-Offering Main Sect to see if I can obtain the spiritual secrets of the Immortal Ranking."

Yuan Lingyu clapped his hands and laughed, "Senior brother once defeated Lian Sheng, who was ranked sixth on the First Profound Ranking. If he wants to obtain the Immortal Ranking's spiritual essence, he will naturally be determined to get it."

Chen Lingxi was about to get up when he saw the expectation in Yuan Lingyu's eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then invited Yuan Lingyu again, saying, "Junior Sister, if you have time, you can come with me. It'll be a fun outing."

Yuan Lingyu was pleasantly surprised and quickly got up.

The two of them then rose into the clouds and headed towards the Dragon-Offering Main Sect.

Yuan Lingyu was quite happy along the way. When they came across a bamboo forest, she suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Senior brother, do you remember when we first met in that Yaoyue Bamboo Forest?"

You were crafting a treasure in that bamboo forest when I happened to fall into it. If you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have died there.

It was because you brought me back to Deer-Sleeping Peak that I was able to become a disciple of my master.

Chen Lingxi slightly, remaining silent.

He sighed inwardly.

"The Cauldron Vessel of True Person Xiang Shu Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, is indeed extraordinary, capable of weaving numerous memories for the disciples of Deer-Sleeping Peak."

It seems that Lingyu never dreamed that the so-called life-saving grace was nothing more than an experience woven from the Cauldron Vessel.

Seeing that Chen Lingxi did not answer, Yuan Lingyu did not care. She just looked at the bamboo forest with her eyes becoming more and more tender.

The two traveled swiftly, flying over mountains, rivers, and a vast ocean, before finally arriving before the Dragon-Offering Main Sect.

The Dragon-Offering Main Sect is vast and boundless, with rising clouds and abundant Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi on Deer-Sleeping Peak was already quite concentrated, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. However, the Spiritual Qi concentration on the Dragon-Offering Main Sect was even higher than that on Deer-Sleeping Peak.

Chen Lingxi had come here several times, and each time she sensed such a rich fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, she was amazed.

"With such abundant Spiritual Qi, even a mortal could probably live for 150 years here."

If Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty were here, and had set up his Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation, a hundred years would likely have been enough for Emperor Daye to cultivate to the Golden Grotto Realm.

Chen Lingxi sighed inwardly, and as his thoughts drifted to this, he couldn't help but think of Emperor Daye.

"Emperor Daye resides in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, while I am in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. Perhaps if I cultivate here for a hundred years, my cultivation level will surpass his."

His eyes flickered as he gazed at the dragon statue in the distance.

The statue was magnificent, with intricately detailed scales and claws, gleaming with a brilliant golden light.

The two dragon horns are like mountain peaks piercing the Void, and several dragon whiskers drift with the clouds. If you don't look closely, you might think it is indeed a real dragon.

Chen Lingxi and Yuan Lingyu arrived together in front of the dragon statue. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the dragon statue's eyes were tightly closed.

Chen Lingxi had come here several times before, and it had been the same.

"Senior brother, the Cauldron Vessel possesses a spirit and requires cultivators to offer sacrifices to it," Yuan Lingyu whispered in Chen Lingxi's ear.

Chen Lingxi slightly, his body suddenly circulating Dao Origin, and slowly bowed towards the true dragon statue.

In an instant, a gentle breeze swept through the heavens and earth, dispersing the clouds and mist in front of the dragon statue, and then an astonishing scene unfolded!

But then they saw that the two dragon eyes of the dragon statue had opened at some point, and the golden light shone like two suns shining in the Void. The flowing light seemed to materialize and traveled through the clouds and mist, hanging high in the sky.

Then a golden light curtain, hundreds of feet long and hundreds of feet wide, was constructed.

On the golden light screen, waves of Dao Origin appeared.

These Dao Origin fluctuations were all extraordinary, one of which had a fiery aura that seemed to scorch the heavens and earth.

A Sword Qi, as sharp as a rainbow, seemed to cleave the Void.

There was another one, as solid and heavy as the earth, seemingly containing astonishing power!

Chen Lingxi looked straight ahead, and among the many fluctuations of Dao Origin, she saw one that was extremely familiar.

Those fluctuations of Dao Origin were like clouds, ethereal and unpredictable, seemingly imbued with wondrous vitality, capable of depicting extraordinary mysteries of the Dao.

"That does resemble Lian Sheng's Dao Origin."

Chen Lingxi immediately understood.

Unlike the Immortal Ranking in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, this Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking does not leave any embellishments or names on it, but instead leaves the cultivator's Dao Origin.

When a cultivator leaves their Dao Origin on the Immortal Ranking, it signifies leaving their name and obtaining the spiritual power of the Immortal Ranking.

"In this way, I won't have to worry about revealing my real name." Chen Lingxi felt relieved.

Yuan Lingyu, who was standing to the side, pointed to the three highest Dao Origin on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking.

"Senior brother, look at that fiery Dao Origin." Yuan Lingyu said respectfully, "This Dao Origin is the Dao Origin of [Zhu Mi] from Southern Luminary Peak."

He possesses the great Divine Ability of the [Merging Luminary Technique], making him the most formidable figure among the Xuan One-Mystery Cultivator of my Dragon-Offering Sect.

He even once held his own against a Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment cultivator for three days without being defeated.

Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

The difference between the Dao Foundation Middle Stage and the Dao Foundation Early Stage may seem to be only one word, but the gap in realm is immeasurable, and the difference in Dao Origin is even more unimaginable.

Even a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Early Stage, with profound foundations and extraordinary fortuitous opportunity, would find it difficult to contend with a cultivator at the mid -Second Profound Dao Foundation Middle Stage.

The Zhu Mi could hold out against Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator for three days demonstrates his strength and the profundity of his Dao Origin.

"No wonder such a person ranks first on this One-Mystic Ranking."

Chen Lingxi thought to herself.

Yuan Lingyu was about to continue her introduction.

But then, several Dao Origin of golden light shone brightly on the Immortal Ranking, and then suddenly materialized, revealing figures.

At this moment, golden light shone brightly on the hundred-foot- Immortal Ranking, and ten figures stood on the Immortal Ranking, looking down at Chen Lingxi!

Chen Lingxi looked up and saw that the sixth Dao Origin had transformed into Lian Sheng's appearance, also staring at him.

He immediately understood.

"Once these Dao Origin are included in the Immortal Ranking, they can manifest in human form and observe those who follow on the Immortal Ranking."
