After the initial shock, the many talented individuals from various races reacted and hurriedly headed towards the ranking stele.
They were so shocked that they hadn't even had a chance to check Ji Zining's cultivation level.
When Ji Zining left the Heavenly Pride Battlefield last time, she was at the Peak Saint Realm.
Now that Ji Zining has returned to the Heavenly Pride Battlefield, given her monstrous rate of improvement, what level of cultivation has she reached now?
As for Mo Shang and Xiao Jing, the powerful figures from various races weren't particularly curious about them.
They were very familiar with these individuals; although they were equally prodigious, they were among the best of all the geniuses on the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
Even the most outstanding individuals are still within a normal and acceptable range, and they can understand some improvement.
This improvement, like their own personalities, falls into the category of being amazing yet understandable.
Ji Zining Ji Zining different; they don't understand her, and are unable to understand her.
Naturally, Ji Zining's cultivation level improved in ways they could never have imagined!
On their way to the ranking stele, the various elites and powerful figures from different races who saw Ji Zining and her group began to exchange messages.
They wanted to let everyone they knew know that Ji Zining and the others had returned to the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
In fact, just as the geniuses of various races had predicted, Ji Zining's improvement was indeed something they couldn't understand.
No!
It's not just incomprehensible, it's almost unbelievable!
The elites and powerful figures from all races gathered around the ranking stele, staring blankly at the name at the top and the description following it.
Their brains completely shut down the moment they saw the description following that name.
All the exceptional talents and powerful individuals were asking this question in their hearts.
Does such an extraordinary, monstrous talent truly exist in this world?!
At the very top of the ranking stele for the Heavenly Pride Ranking, a name was displayed.
This name, unsurprisingly, is Ji Zining's name.
The number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking Ji Zining, a human!
What left the geniuses and powerful figures of all races stunned, shocked, and incredulous was the following introduction about Ji Zining.
The number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking Ji Zining, a human!
He comes from the Ziwei Holy Land, a human power, and is the divine son of the Ziwei Holy Land, receiving the blessing of half of the True Martial Dao Domain's fortune.
The preceding events were perfectly normal; they were things that all the top talents and powerful individuals already knew.
What's abnormal is the later section about combat strength!
Cultivation level: First-Level Quasi-Emperor; Combat strength: Half-Step Great Emperor!
These few words made all the top talents wish they had never known about this matter.
Quasi-Emperor!
It hadn't been long since she left the Heavenly Pride Battlefield, yet Ji Zining had already broken through from the Peak Saint Realm to the First-Level Quasi-Emperor!
It's not just this cultivation level; if it were truly at the First-Level Quasi-Emperor thing.
Many talented and powerful individuals were also shocked, but none of them doubted their existence to the extent that they did now, almost causing their Dao hearts to collapse!
First-Level Quasi-Emperor cultivation, with the combat power of Half-Step Great Emperor —what is this?
Half-Step Great Emperor?
Has Ji Zining already reached the strength of Half-Step Great Emperor?
Doesn't that mean that, going a step further, even if Ji Zining's cultivation doesn't break through to the Great Emperor,
However, her combat power is comparable to that of Great Emperor who has never been born since ancient times!
Your Great Emperor!
These powerful beings, existing only in legends, will they ever have the chance to witness such an extraordinary Great Emperor in their lifetime?
This kind of thing didn't just happen in Qingming City, but throughout the entire Heavenly Pride Battlefield, in all 108 cities.
Some exceptionally talented individuals happened to glance at the ranking stele on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, and just as they saw the name ranked first,
I was slightly shocked at first, then muttered to myself.
Has Ji Zining returned from the True Martial Dao Domain?
As they continued reading, they froze in place, some even fainting on the spot.
Ji Zining First-Level Quasi-Emperor, and the combat strength of Half-Step Great Emperor?
This... this...
After these prodigies who happened to be checking the ranking stele of the Heavenly Pride Ranking realized what was happening, they quickly spread the news.
Soon after, all the city's most talented and powerful individuals knew about it.
Ji Zining has returned to the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
Not only that, but he also possesses the cultivation level of First-Level Quasi-Emperor Half-Step Great Emperor!
The entire Heavenly Pride Battlefield was shaken by this terrifying news.
All the exceptional talents and powerful individuals were plunged into self-doubt.
Do they cultivate the same thing as Ji Zining?
Why did Ji Zining reach the Quasi-Emperor so quickly, and even possess the strength of Half-Step Great Emperor?
But they've remained stagnant, taking pride in even the slightest improvement in strength and cultivation, and wanting everyone to know.
These self-doubting prodigies included those from the Ziwei Holy Land.
Is their Divine Son Hall really this terrifying?
The only difference between them and the other prodigies was that the prodigies of the Ziwei Holy Land were both surprised and delighted.
What was astonishing was Ji Zining's terrifying improvement, and what was also delightful was Ji Zining's terrifying improvement.
In a desolate and uninhabited yardang formation.
Ji Zining emerged from the void, looked around, and frowned slightly.
"The secret realm is in a place like this?"
It's no exaggeration to say that this place was the worst Ji Zining had ever seen in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
The Spiritual Qi was not even as abundant as in the True Martial Dao Domain; there was almost no Spiritual Qi present!
A faint, unsettling atmosphere flickered by.
Ji Zining knew nothing about what had happened on the Heavenly Pride Battlefield, nor did she want to know.
What she wants to know most now is what kind of secrets exist within that secret realm!
Behind them, Mo Shang and the others also emerged from the void.
Mo Shang nodded affirmatively upon hearing Ji Zining's words.
"Indeed, it's here. I only discovered the existence of that secret realm by chance when I passed by here."
"However, that secret realm is extremely dangerous, and I wasn't confident enough to handle it alone, which is why I invited Ao Xue and Huang Xi."
"Unexpectedly, the secret realm didn't do anything to me, but the allies I invited betrayed me."
After speaking, Mo Shang gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining gave Mo Shang a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, what happened last time won't happen again."
"Now that the secret realm is here, please find its entrance."
Xiao Jing and the others also looked at Mo Shang with inquiring eyes.
They were also very curious about that secret realm.
Secret realms capable of containing the Great Emperor Dao Fruit are extremely rare.
You should know that the secret realm they went to back then had so many Great Emperor inheritances but not a single Great Emperor Dao Fruit.
Among them are powerful beings like the Empress Linglong, who conquered all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
There's nothing like it anywhere else, which shows how extraordinary this secret realm is.
The fact that Great Emperor Dao Fruit can exist here suggests that it possesses some unique quality unknown to them.
Upon hearing Mo Shang nodded slightly.
His divine soul power surged forth, and after sensing the surroundings, he led Ji Zining and the others to search within the Yadan landforms.
A moment later.
Mo Shang stopped in his tracks, standing in front of a Yardang rock formation.
"This is it! The entrance to the secret realm is right here!"
Upon hearing this Ji Zining's expression hardened, and she looked at Yadan, but found nothing different.
Probingly probing the power of the soul yielded the same result.
This puzzled Ji Zining.
Is this really the entrance?
Why does it look no different from other mounds of earth?
Xiao Jing and the others also looked puzzled.
Logically, Mo Shang wouldn't play tricks on them, so why couldn't they sense the aura at the entrance?
Noticing the confusion of Ji Zining and the others, Mo Shang smiled lightly and walked straight towards Yadan.
The moment he came into contact with the Yardang landform, Mo Shang vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, everyone instantly understood.
This Yardang landform was actually formed from an illusion array!
But what level of illusion could it possibly have deceived Ji Zining?
Emperor level?
