At the same time.
Central Continent.
Jialuo Holy Land.
Several figures stood before the majestic palace gate.
"Your Majesty, have you truly made up your mind?"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, this is irresponsible towards the entire Holy Land!"
Despite the earnest pleas of three middle-aged and elderly men, Jiang Fei remained unmoved.
" State Preceptor Lu, Grand Chancellor Fei, and King Xiao, this is the result of my careful consideration, and this decision will not be changed."
Jiang Fei looked at them with resolute eyes.
The three of them looked like the sky had fallen.
Who would believe that the Empress of the Jialuo Holy Land would actually abdicate!
Since the Empress ascended the throne, the strength of the Jialuo Holy Land has grown even stronger, and her two Heavenly Ranking are a source of great honor for the entire Holy Land.
Moreover, it's the Immortal Ascension Realm, at the tenth level!
Despite the three men's earnest attempts to persuade her, Jiang Fei insisted on abdicating, without even giving a reason; she simply wanted to leave the imperial city.
"Choose a wise and capable successor."
Dressed in red, Jiang Fei abandoned her homeland thousands of miles away and walked into the vast, misty Yanyu.
She walked a long way.
One person silently followed.
She walked forward, and the person walked forward too; she stopped, and the person stopped too.
There is only one person as persistent as him.
Finally, Jiang Fei smile, " Ruoshuang, do you know where I'm going?"
A moment of silence followed behind me.
"My cultivation has reached the Immortal Ascension Realm Tenth Stage. Even if I am not invincible, I can be called Supreme, but I find it very boring."
"This power, this dynasty, my heart has always been adrift, as if I were a machine managing a dynasty, without thought, without belonging."
"From today onward, I want to live for myself. If I hate, I will hate wholeheartedly; if I love, I will love passionately. I want to Immortal Ascension, to ascend to heaven, and to find that man in blue!"
"Two hundred years ago, he was already so powerful; Xu Fei now? I don't care what the final outcome will be; I just want to live as I please!"
Another silence fell.
After a long while.
Leng Ruoshuang gripped the gleaming Frost and Frost and Snow Sword and said firmly:
"Without you, I would have frozen to death in the snow long ago. Wherever you go, I will go. Although my strength at the Immortal Ascension Realm Fifth Stage is not as great as yours, it is not bad either."
Jiang Fei lowered her head and remained silent, the wind blowing her long hair.
She suddenly started walking forward.
Leng Ruoshuang stubbornly followed, and suddenly the wind and snow began to fall, revealing two shallow footprints in the vast snow.
At this moment!
The sky was ablaze with light, painting a golden rainbow, while a vast sea of clouds surged above the ridgeline.
The Factions Ranking are now open!
"There are fifteen spots available, determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as cultivation level, influence, resources, and luck."
The heavenly sound resounded, echoing throughout the world.
As soon as the words fell, lines of text appeared one after another on the enormous Heavenly Ranking, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy filled the world once again.
The seventh round of the Heavenly Ranking and Factions Ranking has been officially released!
[15th Place]
Name: Jialuo Holy Land
Owner: Bai Yue
Rating: 20
The crowd was somewhat surprised by the rankings.
"I don't understand, the ranking of the Jialuo Holy Land is too low!"
"If it's last, and there are fourteen sects ahead of it, where are we going to find fourteen top-tier sects?"
"I'm afraid only the Azure Cloud Holy Land, the Guixu, or the Azure Luan Clan can surpass it."
The Jialuo Holy Land was once the second largest power in the Central Continent after the Azure Dragon Clan. After the Azure Dragon Clan was destroyed by Xie Feng, it further solidified its unshakeable hegemonic position.
In this era of Spiritual Qi revival, the Jialuo Holy Land has at least ten Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators, especially the Empress, who has reached the terrifying Immortal Ascension Realm Tenth Stage!
This name has always been mentioned alongside the Azure Cloud Holy Land and the Azure Luan Clan!
With its strength, it's more than capable of being in the top ten! Or even the top five!
This is really only the last one?
Terrifying!
and!
Wasn't Jiang Fei the master of the Jialuo Holy Land? Why has it been changed to Bai Yue?
Who Bai Yue?
People were completely bewildered, but they had no choice but to accept it.
" The Heavenly Ranking can't be wrong, let's keep watching!" someone said.
Jiang Fei, walking amidst the mortal world, looked up at the list and smiled slightly.
At this moment.
Golden light surges, the next ranking is announced!
[14th Place]
Name: Azure Luan Clan
Owner: Gu Chen
Rating: 30
The Azure Luan Clan, as an absolute Supreme clan, is undoubtedly superior to the Gara Jialuo Holy Land.
but!
The Azure Luan Clan —they're among the top three in everyone's eyes!
Only second to last?
People were confused.
"Could it be that some deeply hidden sects have been unearthed?"
"Otherwise, the Azure Luan Clan could never possibly be second to last. If they're second to last, what will happen to the other sects?"
"The will of the Great Dao is beyond our comprehension; let's continue to observe!"
[Thirteenth place]
Name: Azure Cloud Holy Land
Master: Ye Yuan
Rating: 40
[12th Place]
Name: Heavenly Dog Clan
Owner: Zhou Jin
Rating: 55
One by one, names shone brightly...
Frame by frame appeared...
One by one, the rewards fell...
The sight of the Heavenly Dog Clan caused a sensation throughout the world.
This race usually keeps a low profile, yet it is so powerful that it overwhelms the Jialuo Holy Land, the Azure Luan Clan, and the Azure Cloud Holy Land, becoming the fourth from the bottom!
Considering the dramatic changes in the world over the past two years, the fall of the Heavenly Dog Clan's Emperor Zhou Ran, the ascension of King Kan Zhou Jin, the resurrection of a powerful figure at the Earth Immortal Grade, and the terrifying existence of Xu Chengming, Immortal Ascension Realm Ninth Stage, the Heavenly Dog Clan's inclusion on the list is well-deserved.
But...
Holy crap, such a terrifyingly powerful clan can't even make it into the top ten?!
Everyone was puzzled. What other forces might be at that level? There couldn't possibly be that many hidden sects in the world!
Heavenly Continent.
In the depths of the vast blue sea, within the Guixu of Return, the Master of Guixu sat in the Hidden Pavilion, his brow furrowed with worry.
On the table in front of him were two jugs of wine, one Immortal Brew" and the other a "Rosy Cloud Brew." He drank slowly, sighing deeply.
One day in the Guixu is equivalent to three months in the outside world.
Now that twelve days have passed Guixu, and considering the outside world, three years should have passed.
It's been three years!
His beloved apprentice doesn't even come back to see this lonely old man?!
Disciple, you have no heart!
Sigh, it's all because I drank that fake alcohol back then. In my drunken stupor, I let my apprentice go with Xie Feng...
Guixu was already deserted, and now it's even more deserted.
He eats alone, sits alone, drinks alone. Without his apprentice, nothing tastes good; he's so damn lonely.
In the Guixu, even the insects are like mutes, completely silent!
What kind of person does this?
Xie Feng, give me back my precious apprentice!
The Master of Guixu sighed to the heavens. Just then, ten thousand golden lights flashed, and the Heavenly Ranking was updated once again in the sky.
[Eleventh Place]
Name: Guixu
Owner: Xuanyuan Zhige
Rating: 70
As the writing emerged, a beam of white light descended.
A wisp of the power of the Great Dao of Time!
The Master of Guixu cultivates the Dao of Heartlessness and the Dao of Time. He separated Guixu from the outside world, creating an excellent sacred place for cultivation.
The wisp of Great Dao power rewarded by the Heavenly Ranking will allow him to advance to a higher level in the Great Dao of Time.
The Master of Guixu felt somewhat better after receiving the reward.
Within the Three Thousand Worlds, it exploded!
Guixu!
Such a powerful force!
Only eleventh place!
People were utterly shocked; it had to be at least in the top two!
However, on this list, almost all the recognized top-tier forces are ranked terribly low.
People are talking about it, and the huge controversy continues.
