It appeared in the ancient city.
Ye Heng stopped a pedestrian and asked.
"Excuse me, sir, where is this place? Can you tell me?"
Just tell me which state this place is in.
Ye Heng was very polite.
The Central Heaven Continent is also known as the Nine Provinces Continent.
Because the Central Heaven Continent is divided into nine major states.
The old man heard Ye Heng's words.
Not too shocked, he glanced at Ye Heng and quickly bowed.
Ye Heng was clearly a cultivator. Cultivators don't care about time and can travel freely. It's normal that he didn't know where he was. Moreover, this place was close to the Endless Sea Endless Sea, where some people often got lost.
Naturally, they didn't know where they were.
"This old man greets you, young master."
"This is Vast Dark Province, and this border town is called Dark Wood City."
The old man was very polite.
Thank you, sir.
Upon hearing Ye Heng bowed.
His gaze then fell on Su Xiuyi.
"In reply to your question, young master, this is Vast Dark Province. The Central Heaven Continent is divided into nine prefectures. Vast Dark Province is located in the southwest and is not close to the Central Saint Province."
"If you wish to travel to Central Saint Province and the Su Clan as quickly as possible, we will need some more time."
"However, I'm also somewhat unfamiliar with Vast Dark Province. We should find a map first."
As Ye Heng finished speaking, Su Xiuyi waved her hand.
"This matter is not urgent. Let's go into the city first and see what's going on. It seems something has happened there."
Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on Ye Heng, and then she walked towards the center of the city.
Ye Heng was taken aback upon hearing this.
The next moment, his divine sense spread out and he discovered that there were many geniuses and powerful individuals gathered in Dark Wood City, and their strength was not weak.
"Hmm, what exactly happened in this small Dark Wood Ancient City? Why have so many powerful figures gathered here?"
Ye Heng also looked puzzled, but he didn't think much of it and followed Su Xiuyi to the center of Dark Wood Ancient City. Cangmu Ancient City was huge, but for Su Xiuyi, this distance was nothing. Su Xiuyi quickly brought Ye Heng and Ao Jue to the center of Dark Wood Ancient City by activating the power of space.
At this moment, on Dark Wood Square in Dark Wood Ancient City.
It has gathered countless powerful individuals.
In the center of Dark Wood Square, a huge stone tablet has appeared, surrounded by an incomparably mysterious spiritual light.
Ye Heng, who had just appeared, recognized the enormous stone tablet instantly.
"I never expected that a Heavenly Dao Stele would appear in this Dark Wood Ancient City."
Hearing Ye Heng's words, Su Xiuyi, who was full of curiosity, smiled and asked.
" Ye Heng, it seems you know the origin of this stone tablet. Why don't you explain it to us? What is the origin of this stone tablet, what is its purpose, and why are so many powerful figures gathered here?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Ye Heng quickly offered an explanation.
"Young master, this stone tablet is called the Heavenly Dao Stele."
"Many ancient cities contain Heavenly Dao Stele; once touched, the soul will appear in a mysterious spatial battlefield."
"This spatial battlefield can provide an arena for all talented disciples to hone their skills."
"This Heavenly Dao Stele, to be precise, has a direct relationship with the Prodigy Ranking."
"The geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking will leave marks in that spatial battlefield. As long as you defeat the mark they left behind, you can take their place."
"Of course, the cultivation level of each prodigy changes every moment. Defeating them will put you on the Prodigy Ranking, but it may not be long before they challenge the mark you left behind again and take your place."
Ye Heng explained it in detail.
"Space battlefield?"
" Ye Heng, if I remember correctly, you're also a prodigy on the Prodigy Ranking. What do you think of the strength of those people on the Prodigy Ranking?"
Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on Ye Heng, and she said with a smile.
"Young master, the geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking are indeed formidable; each of them has an unlimited future."
"Of course, the most terrifying one is Su Ming from the Su Clan; his talent is simply too terrifying."
"Even the second-ranked Prodigy Ranking is worlds apart from Su Ming."
"As for me, I'm just lucky; I've only just made it onto the Prodigy Ranking."
Ye Heng was very modest.
"Now, what level do you think you can reach on the Prodigy Ranking? I've seen you improve quite a bit these past few days."
Su Xiuyi's eyes showed curiosity. These days, Ye Heng had been constantly comprehending those Great Dao Star, and his Great Dao had undergone a qualitative transformation. Su Xiuyi wanted to know what level Ye Heng could reach on the Prodigy Ranking with his current strength.
At that moment, Su Xiuyi also saw a name on that enormous stone tablet.
At the very top of the list, two characters, like two great suns, appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes.
It was Su Ming.
Top of the Prodigy Ranking.
"Young master, my strength has indeed undergone a tremendous change. I also want to see where I can rank on the Prodigy Ranking now."
" The Ye Clan is willing to abandon me for Ye Tian's sake. I want to see just how powerful Ye Tian really is."
"Today, I will challenge Ye Tian is ranked on the Prodigy Ranking."
Ye Heng took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening.
Ye Heng was a prodigy on the Prodigy Ranking, but he had simply concealed his brilliance by following Su Xiuyi. In this instant Ye Heng became different.
At this moment, a large crowd was gathered around the Heavenly Dao Stele, as Dark Wood City originally did not have Heavenly Dao Stele.
However, recently, people from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion appeared in Dark Wood City and left behind a Heavenly Dao Stele. Dark Wood City is celebrating this day.
In the eyes of the people of Dark Wood City, this is the supreme glory of Dark Wood City; the Heavenly Dao Stele is not something that every ancient city can possess.
On the plaza, the city lord of Dark Wood Ancient City was delivering a passionate speech.
Suddenly, a figure walked straight to the Heavenly Dao Stele, waved his hand, and an incomparably terrifying aura erupted instantly, turning the red silk on the Heavenly Dao Stele into ashes.
"Who dares to be so insolent here!"
The city lord of Dark Wood Ancient City's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. He never expected that someone would dare to cause trouble here.
Making trouble here is not only disrespectful to Dark Wood Ancient City, but also to the Heavenly Dao Gate Sect.
However, just as the city lord of Dark Wood Ancient City finished speaking, Ye Heng's icy voice rang out.
"Shut up."
"This is no place for you to speak. Today I'm going into the spatial battlefield to improve my position on the Prodigy Ranking."
"I am Ye Heng, Prodigy Ranking."
Ye Heng's voice was loud and domineering, and at the same time, an extremely powerful aura erupted instantly. All the powerful figures present, including the city lord of Dark Wood Ancient City, collapsed to the ground under that aura.
The aura of the Dao Origin level is something they cannot contend with.
In that instant, the anger on the face of the Dark Wood Ancient City Lord vanished, replaced by fear.
The terrifying beings on the Prodigy Ranking are not to be trifled with, not even Ye Heng, who is ranked last.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye. I was blind to your greatness and beg you to spare my life. I will never dare to disrespect you again."
"Please spare my life, young master."
The other powerful figures from Dark Wood Ancient City all showed fear on their faces and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Those powerful figures who had come from various cities also showed fear in their eyes at this moment, but at the same time, anticipation shone deep in their pupils.
Within the ancient city, countless figures rushed here, their eyes filled with anticipation. They never expected that Ye Heng, who was listed on the Heavenly Dao Stele Heavenly Dao Stele appeared in Dark Wood Ancient City.
If they could witness Ye Heng rewriting the rankings on the Prodigy Ranking today, in their eyes, witnessing such a moment would be a life well-lived.
"Step back."
Ye Heng had no interest in these people; his sharp gaze was fixed on the Heavenly Dao Stele.
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they hurriedly bowed and stepped back, completely relinquishing the Heavenly Dao Stele.
" The Heavenly Dao Stele?"
The next moment, Su Xiuyi's eyes became incredibly strange, as if she had seen through the Su Xiuyi Heavenly Dao Stele in front of her.
In that instant, the stone tablet transformed into countless Daoist spiritual patterns in Su Xiuyi's eyes.
This Heavenly Dao Stele is not a simple stone tablet, nor is it used to inscribe a few words. In this instant, with the help of the Pupil of Void Breaking, Su Xiuyi completely saw through the Heavenly Dao Stele Heavenly Dao Stele, which contained an incomparably powerful array force.
This Heavenly Dao Stele contains a spatial teleportation array.
However, this spatial teleportation array is slightly different from ordinary spatial teleportation arrays.
I don't know where the connecting land is.
Su Xiuyi recalled Ye Heng's words and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.
"A spatial battlefield? It seems this spatial battlefield is truly special."
"It's probably not that simple."
"To allow a person's soul to enter, this is no ordinary place. Without extraordinary means, it would be impossible to create such a powerful place."
Once Su Xiuyi's thoughts settled, she stopped paying attention and slowly retracted her Pupil of Void Breaking.
The next moment, Ye Heng walked to the Heavenly Dao Stele Heavenly Dao Stele and sat down cross-legged in front of it.
Soon, Ye Heng's soul power completely entered the Heavenly Dao Stele and entered the spatial battlefield.
Of course, none of the people present could witness where Ye Heng's soul, which had been teleported away by the Heavenly Dao Stele, appeared. At this moment, they could only wait quietly for the outcome.
"Young Master, do you think Young Master Ye Heng can improve his reputation? I think it's unlikely."
"Rumor has it that none of the people on the Prodigy Ranking are ordinary."
"I just heard someone say that Ye Heng hasn't been on the Prodigy Ranking for very long. In such a short time, it probably won't be easy for Ye Heng to improve his ranking."
" Ye Heng's older brother, Ye Tian, is ranked 81st on the Prodigy Ranking."
Ao Jue's face turned serious at this moment.
I think he can do it.
There's a saying, "If you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at them with new eyes."
" Ye Heng has experienced a lot these days and gained many opportunities, undergoing a qualitative transformation. Now he has even stepped into the Dao Origin level, and he is no longer the Ye Heng he used to be."
"Moreover, Ye Heng has gained a lot of insights into my Great Dao these days, so he should be no worse than Ye Tian, and might even be able to completely defeat Ye Tian and take his place."
"If he can't even do this, then he doesn't deserve to be my follower, nor does he deserve my high regard."
Su Xiuyi was very confident in Ye Heng.
Seeing Su Xiuyi's high praise for Ye Heng, Ao Jue immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
She secretly resolved that she must flatter Ye Heng more often in the future.
After a few breaths.
On the otherwise perfectly calm Heavenly Dao Stele, streaks of spiritual light began to flash wildly.
"It's a success."
"Young Master Ye Heng has successfully improved his ranking."
Cheers erupted, and the next moment Ye Heng's name appeared in the second-to-last line, ranking 99th on the Prodigy Ranking.
Seeing this, Su Xiuyi was not surprised at all. Ye Heng had improved a lot these days, and his cultivation speed in his own world was a thousand times faster than in the outside world.
In that short period of time, Ye Heng had actually lived through several years.
If this is not possible, then it is not worth Su Xiuyi mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth to accelerate the flow of time for Ye Heng alone.
As everyone cheered, feeling they were witnessing a historical miracle, the spiritual light on the Heavenly Dao Stele flickered once more.
Ye Heng's name appeared at number 98.
Seeing this scene, everyone present stared wide-eyed, no one had expected that Ye Heng would improve his ranking by two places this time.
However, this was only the beginning. A dozen minutes later, everyone's faces showed disbelief.
As everyone witnessed, Ye Tian's name was moved down one place.
Ye Tian's original position was replaced by Ye Heng's name.
Ye Heng, who was sitting cross-legged beneath the Heavenly Dao Stele, slowly opened his eyes at that moment.
"Why don't you continue? I think with your ability, you can still improve your ranking."
Seeing Ye Heng open his eyes, Su Xiuyi said with a smile.
"Young master, with my current strength, I could indeed improve my ranking, but it's meaningless. I just want everyone to know my talent, that my strength is no less than Ye Tian's."
"This is what I want to prove; the ranking isn't that important anymore."
"I used to think that improving one's ranking on the Prodigy Ranking was an honor, a symbol of strength, but now I don't think so anymore. There are countless people on this Prodigy Ranking, who are called prodigies, but in front of you, they are nothing but chickens and dogs."
"I think improving your skills is enough; rankings aren't that important. They're all superficial. Skill is what truly matters."
In this world, whoever has the biggest fist holds the truth.
Ye Heng offered an explanation.
"You're right, these rankings are indeed meaningless; true strength is what matters."
"However, I am very curious about this Heavenly Dao Stele."
"I also want to see just how strong Su Ming really is, and how much power he has left behind in the Heavenly Dao Stele spatial battlefield."
"This time we're heading to Central Saint Province, to face them head-on. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
A smile appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips.
"Does the young master wish to make a move?"
"That's fine too. Perhaps only someone like you, young master, would know the extent of Su Ming's abilities. However, young master, the mark Su Ming left in the spatial battlefield is from several years ago. Who knows how much his strength has improved over the years?"
Upon hearing that Su Xiuyi wanted to challenge Su Ming, Ye Heng didn't find it exaggerated, but instead offered an explanation.
