Cloud Continent.
Azure Cloud Holy Land.
As dusk falls and the road ends, a red maple tree stands tall between heaven and earth, a few maple leaves fluttering and exuding a vibrant Spiritual Qi.
Beneath the Scarlet Maple, a figure sat upright, his yellow robes billowing like clouds, covering the ground. Ye Yuan held a black piece, placing it on the Soundless Disc, his eyes lazily narrowed.
You lost again.
"I can finally find a little bit of confidence in you."
Ye Yuan said.
He thought of the chess game where Xie Feng had utterly humiliated him; the psychological trauma was something he would never forget.
Meng Wuqu glanced at her narrow eyes, his expression completely calm. His demeanor was cold and aloof, like a deep pool of water, burying all his emotions.
"Again."
The Heavenly Ranking have opened again.
The golden light was dazzling, Ye Yuan turned his head to look at the sky.
Meng Wuqu did not look to the side, but lowered his head to tidy up the mess, and said, "Since the Heavenly Ranking descended, powerful figures in the world have shown themselves one after another."
"This world is but a small realm; beyond our sight lie countless worlds and countless civilizations... Will the Heavenly Ranking descend upon another world?"
Ye Yuan glanced at him, keenly sensing his emotions. "Why are you saying all this out of the blue? Are you homesick?"
Meng Wuqu said, "I was born between heaven and earth, so what home do I have? Or rather, everywhere is home."
"There's a question I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, especially after seeing the number one spot on the Physical Body Ranking."
"?"
"Is my elder brother Human Immortal?"
Who are you calling "big brother"?
" Xie Feng."
"Does he agree to you calling him 'Big Brother'?"
"I don't care about that."
"Hmph." Meng Wuqu snorted lightly, "Single-handedly annihilating an ancient transcendent clan, Human Immortal? Far more than that."
"So incredibly powerful, you're probably not even from this world, just like me?" Ye Yuan exclaimed sincerely, though it was unclear whether he was praising or insulting the two of them.
Meng Wuqu shook his head.
"He's not like me."
Ye Yuan suddenly realized and joked, "Oh, I misspoke. You're like an old horse still eager to gallop, while he's like a spirited young horse. You're indeed different."
"Hey, you made the list."
"Hey, don't change the subject so abruptly!"
Ye Yuan was speechless. He followed Meng Wuqu's calm gaze and his expression immediately changed.
The new rankings are being released on the Heavenly Ranking!
[Sixth Place]
Name: Ye Yuan
Weapon: Scarlet Maple (Sword)
Level: Immortal Grade
Reward: Top-tier Immortal Method, " The Longevity Sword Art "
A video appeared on the sky.
In the video, a fierce autumn wind whips up thousands of maple leaves, like a raging fire that burns the entire world.
Amidst the raging flames, a crimson-blue longsword pierced the sky, with red maple leaves billowing and the heavens shining brightly, its Sword Intent surpassing heaven and earth.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Scarlet Maple!
Oh no!
Ye Yuan clutched his head in anguish; he desperately wanted to curse...
" Old Meng, I have some swear words I'm not sure if I should say them?"
"Shut up if you shouldn't say it."
"..."
Ye Yuan frowned even more in pain.
Unexpectedly...
I never expected the Heavenly Ranking would expose him!
The Scarlet Maple Sword was transformed from the ancient maple tree behind him!
That's his trump card!
As the supreme ruler of a sacred land, the only weapon he revealed to the world was the Soundless Disc; the Scarlet Maple Sword was his trump card in life-or-death situations.
However...
There are no secrets under the Great Way!
Ye Yuan lamented, but when the white light fell, he still gladly accepted the Heavenly Ranking reward.
Pain is pain, and reward is reward; only a fool wouldn't want them.
After adjusting his mindset, Ye Yuan asked, "Will you make the list?"
"Won't."
"Survived for 990,000 years..."
"If you want to see me on the list, go and reach a level where you can get close to me."
"Never mind then, I'm too lazy."
Ye Yuan waved his hand gently and continued playing chess with Meng Wuqu.
The rankings on the Heavenly Ranking have been released one after another.
[Fifth Place]
Name: Anping
Weapon: Qilin Earth (sword)
Level: Immortal Grade
Reward: Top-tier Immortal Method, " Stars Sword Sequence "
[Fourth Place]
Name: Chu Shanjun
Weapon: Dusk (Sword)
Level: Immortal Grade
Reward: Top-tier Immortal Method, " The Carefree Martial Canon "
On the earth, people look up at the sky.
One after another, immortal weapons are born...
A series of legendary scenes unfold...
They were deeply moved by what they saw!
In this world, under the flawless strategies of the Heavenly Ranking, many powerful figures have emerged!
Previously, there were no immortals in the world; now, there is the greatest immortal of all time!
Previously, there were no immortal artifacts in the world, but now immortal artifacts Heavenly Ranking!
In the Three Thousand Worlds, with the rise of numerous powerful figures, a glorious and turbulent era seems to be on the horizon!
For those who make the list, weapons awarded as rewards from the Heavenly Ranking in previous rounds are not eligible to be included; items that are included must be originally from the Three Thousand Worlds.
Therefore, Sushang's Radiant Sun Sword, Lu Xiuluo's Eternal Devil Dragon Staff, and others could not make the list.
Qi Wuyan followed Xie Feng and Anping back to the Xuanji Sect.
When entering the angle between the two continents...
When passing through the Nameless Domain...
Even when she stepped onto the majestic Xuanji Mountain, Qi Wuyan always had a sense of familiarity, as if she had been here before.
She recalled her prediction for Xie Feng when the Aptitude Ranking were released, "The number one person in all ages," " The Supreme of this era." And now, even she, the Numinous Heavenly Calculation Qi Wuyan, had joined the Xuanji Sect, which showed that her prediction was quite accurate.
As for the sense of familiarity, it was probably because when I was calculating Xie Feng's location, I used my mental power to scan this place, but it was very blurry, so I only had a general feeling.
Stepping onto Xuanji Mountain, a surge of Spiritual Qi washes over you.
"Such abundant luck!"
Qi Wuyan thought to herself that the luck surrounding her body actually made her weak body a little stronger!
Slender fingers extend, and fortune floats and accumulates around you like thick clouds; with each breath, you are enveloped in boundless energy.
The spirit is quietly being lifted...
My strength is slowly increasing...
Such a place, brimming with spiritual energy, surpasses even the sacred sites!
The Xuanji Mountain Range in the Nameless Domain...
A peerless paradise!
Although this fortune cannot fully restore her health, Qi Wuyan guessed that if she stayed here for several hundred years, even without cultivating, she would surely reach the peak of Martial Dao!
The fortune is truly immense!
As she was reeling from State of Mind shock, the three of them arrived at the Xuanji Sect. Zhou Jin was walking towards them, holding a scroll of Cultivation Method. Since coming up the mountain, he had always been studying Cultivation Method.
"Sect Master, you're back!" Upon seeing Xie Feng, Zhou Jin put down the scroll, cupped his hands, and bowed. He noticed Qi Wuyan.
Who is this?
Xie Feng said, "Your colleague, Numinous Heavenly Calculation Qi Wuyan. Wuyan, this is Zhou Jin."
Zhou Jin nodded politely, secretly thinking that he knew Qi Wuyan was a powerful figure who had been ranked on the Aptitude Ranking, Dharma Artifact Ranking, and Grace Ranking.
How could someone so powerful be his colleague?
The sect leader's methods are simply extraordinary...
He admired Xie Feng more and more, but when he looked down, he saw a pair of delicate, fair hands reaching out, the fingertips as smooth and warm as jade in the sunlight.
Qi Wuyan smiled and said, "It is Wuyan great honor to work with the renowned King Kan."
She didn't want to be so superficial in considering the other party's ranking on the Heavenly Ranking, but Xie Feng, Anping, and Zhou Jin were all on the Heavenly Ranking, making it difficult for them to go unnoticed.
Zhou Jin, sixth on the Physical Body Ranking!
Anping, ranked second on the Physical Body Ranking and fifth on the Weapons Ranking!
Sect Master...
Number one on four lists: Aptitude Ranking, Dharma Artifact Ranking, Grace Ranking, and Physical Body Ranking!
Qi Wuyan even suspected that the sect leader would retain the top spot on the Weapons Ranking!
"Nice to meet you."
Zhou Jin shook hands naturally and politely.
"Wow, it's so lively! The Sect Master is back? What are you all talking about, it's so exciting!"
At this time...
A clear, melodious voice rang out.
