Challenging the Strongest in History

"Congratulations to Taishang Elder's disciple Xiao Yun for rising to first place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

A booming voice rang out from within the Phantom Demon Tower, spreading across the entire mountain peak. At once, everyone near the stone stele erupted into an uproar.

Pairs of shocked eyes all turned toward the first rank of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, where the name "Xiao Yun" gleamed with dazzling golden light.

"Xiao Yun actually went straight for the first-place challenge—and he succeeded!"

"This is unbelievable! He actually defeated Xi Chunyu. I heard her strength had already reached 750,000 jin. How could Xiao Yun possibly have won?"

"Even an expert like Xi Chunyu was defeated across realms. Xiao Yun must have entered the Seven Forbidden Domains!"

"The Seven Forbidden Domains! This is far too shocking. Even across the entire cultivation world, such talent is unparalleled beneath heaven, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Sons of the other five great holy lands."

The crowd cried out again and again, thrown into a frenzy.

When those Outer Sect disciples saw Xiao Yun's name on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, they all felt a wave of helplessness.

While still in the Body Refining Realm, this fellow had defeated the hundred strongest Qi Gathering Realm experts among their Outer Sect disciples. The gap between them was simply too vast.

So vast that they could not even summon the slightest jealousy.

After all, people often envied those who were only somewhat stronger than themselves. But toward those who surpassed them by far too much, all they could feel was admiration.

"Master, Senior Brother took first place! He's amazing!" Before the Hidden Dragon Ranking stele, Lin Xiaoya said excitedly to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu had not expected Xiao Yun to defeat Xi Chunyu either. After all, Xi Chunyu possessed slightly greater strength than Xiao Yun, and one was in the Qi Gathering Realm while the other was in the Body Refining Realm. She naturally held the advantage of realm suppression.

This showed that Xiao Yun not only cultivated quickly, but also possessed extremely formidable combat ability. Even with equal strength, he could still seize victory.

As expected of an unparalleled monster who made the Chaos Bell ring nine times. The old master truly chose the right person this time. The young master will definitely forge the Chaos Body! Uncle Fu thought expectantly.

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the crowd not far away.

"Interesting. Senior Brother Xiao actually defeated Senior Sister Xi. Senior Sister Xi, if I remember correctly, you once left behind a message in the Phantom Demon Tower saying that if anyone could defeat you, you would choose to follow him."

Those words instantly set off the entire crowd.

The people around them, who had only just calmed down, boiled over once more.

Xi Chunyu, who already stood out among the crowd, became the focus of even more attention. Everyone's gaze turned toward her.

"Xi Chunyu actually left behind such words in the Phantom Demon Tower!"

"Xiao Yun has already defeated Xi Chunyu. Does that mean Xi Chunyu really has to follow Xiao Yun?"

"I heard one of the Holy Sons of our Chaos Holy Land has taken a liking to Xi Chunyu. Heh, now this is getting interesting."

"The Holy Son possesses unmatched authority and lofty status. Xiao Yun is no longer the Divine Son. Even if he encounters the Holy Son, he will have to lower his head, won't he?"

"Now there's a good show to watch."

The crowd discussed it animatedly.

Among the crowd, Xi Chunyu lightly furrowed her delicate brows. She looked toward the person who had spoken and discovered that he was Zhang Yun, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Her pretty face immediately turned cold, and she snorted.

She knew Zhang Yun well enough. He had always been arrogant and overbearing among the Outer Sect disciples. Once, he had molested a female Outer Sect disciple and been taught a lesson by her, so he had held a grudge ever since.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.

Zhang Yun causing her trouble this time was likely driven in part by a desire for revenge.

However, Xi Chunyu could not be bothered with such a jumping clown. In any case, she had already decided to follow Xiao Yun. People would find out sooner or later, so it was nothing significant.

"This Zhang Yun... he did it on purpose!"

Among the crowd, Lu Haochu, ranked third on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, cast a disgusted glance at Zhang Yun in the distance and snorted coldly.

Beside him, Zhang Jing, ranked second on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, sneered. "He has always been arrogant, overbearing, and narrow-minded. Back then, he molested a female disciple and was taught a lesson by Senior Sister Xi, so he bears a grudge and has been waiting for a chance to retaliate."

Lu Haochu nodded, then looked toward Xi Chunyu in the distance. A trace of admiration flashed through his eyes as he sighed. "I wonder whether Senior Sister Xi will fulfill her promise."

He often went to the Phantom Demon Tower to challenge Xi Chunyu as well, so he naturally knew what words she had left behind within it.

What young man would not admire a peerless beauty like Xi Chunyu?

Because of those words, Lu Haochu had cultivated desperately and improved his strength, yet he still remained no match for Xi Chunyu.

Now that he had seen Xiao Yun defeat Xi Chunyu, it would have been impossible for him not to feel bitter.

Zhang Jing felt the same way. He, too, admired Xi Chunyu. However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and said calmly, "For a heaven-favored daughter like Senior Sister Xi, perhaps only Senior Brother Xiao is worthy of her. We should bless her."

Lu Haochu gave a bitter smile, though he knew Zhang Jing was right.

"However, this matter may not be so simple. That Holy Son has long regarded Senior Sister Xi as his forbidden possession. Given his status, he likely will not fear Senior Brother Xiao," Lu Haochu said worriedly, as though he had suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Jing's expression tightened slightly, and worry appeared in his eyes as well. He had long heard of that Holy Son's domineering nature.

Before the Hidden Dragon Ranking stele.

Listening to the conversations around her, Lin Xiaoya immediately looked displeased. She looked toward Xi Chunyu in the distance, jealousy flashing through her large round eyes as she pouted. "What is this? What kind of girl makes such a vow? She has no shame at all. Just looking at that seductive vixen face of hers, you can tell she isn't a good woman."

For some reason, upon learning that a peerless beauty like Xi Chunyu was going to follow Xiao Yun, Lin Xiaoya felt a faint sourness in her heart.

Uncle Fu glanced at Lin Xiaoya. With his rich experience, he could naturally see that Lin Xiaoya had long harbored affection for Xiao Yun. She was simply still young, and this was the first stirring of love in her heart, so even she herself did not understand it. It was only a hazy feeling.

Uncle Fu did not mind this. When he had taken Lin Xiaoya in, he had originally intended for her to keep Xiao Yun company. Still, he reminded her, "Xiaoya, a peerless genius like the young master is naturally bound to attract people who wish to follow him. Right now, it is only Xi Chunyu. Once the young master grows powerful in the future, his followers may fill the entire Imperial Peak."

Lin Xiaoya immediately looked helpless upon hearing this. She also knew that her Senior Brother was too outstanding. In the future, he would surely attract people who wanted to follow him.

Among the Holy Sons of the Chaos Holy Land, which one did not have dozens of followers? The Holy Sons ranked in the top ten had even more followers.

Lin Xiaoya could not stop them either. After all, such followers would also strengthen Xiao Yun's influence and greatly aid him in taking control of the Chaos Holy Land in the future.

"Congratulations to Taishang Elder's disciple Xiao Yun for ranking one hundredth among the strongest Body Refining Realm cultivators in the history of the Chaos Holy Land!"

Suddenly, a booming voice rang out from within the Phantom Demon Tower, stunning everyone on the mountain peak.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yun's name appeared on a black stone stele beside the Phantom Demon Tower, releasing dazzling golden light.

Everyone who saw this drew in a sharp breath.

Xiao Yun had actually gone to challenge those strongest figures in the history of the Body Refining Realm—and he had succeeded.

Everyone was instantly shaken to the core.

Among the crowd, Xi Chunyu's beautiful hair danced in the wind. Brilliant light burst forth from her lovely eyes as she stared fixedly at the black stele in the distance.

Lu Haochu and Zhang Jing were equally dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.

Lin Xiaoya and Uncle Fu, meanwhile, ran toward the black stele in the distance with delighted expressions.

The names recorded upon those steles were all the strongest figures in the history of the Chaos Holy Land. Every name represented a peerless genius. Whoever could be listed on such a stele would surely leave their name in history. Even after countless ages had passed, they would still be revered by others.
