Li Changsheng smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
"In the end, this world is ruled by strength. If you have strength, you can do anything."
Without strength, everything you do will be fraught with difficulties.
At this moment, Li Changsheng slapped his forehead, looking annoyed.
"Oh right, I forgot something really important."
Ji Zining was curious upon seeing this.
"Ancestor, what is it?"
Li Changsheng smiled.
"I forgot to tell you, in each of the grotto-heaven cities, there is a Heavenly Pride Ranking ranking the prodigies."
"This Heavenly Pride Ranking lists the top one thousand prodigies in terms of combat strength in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."
"If your name appears on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, it means your combat strength ranks among the top one thousand in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."
At this point, Li Changsheng glanced at Ji Zining.
"With your strength, you should be able to rank in the top 1,000 of the Heavenly Pride Ranking now."
"However, I'm not sure of the exact number; you'll have to wait until you join."
The Heavenly Pride Ranking!
It includes the top 1,000 strongest warriors in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining couldn't help but show an amused expression.
That's good; having a ranking system will allow the top talents to focus more on the competition.
This kind of competition allows these prodigies to continuously increase their cultivation and combat power.
Of course, Ji Zining also knew that such competition would inevitably result in casualties.
It all depends on whether you're used as a stepping stone or become the successful person standing on that stepping stone!
Li Changsheng looked at the ancient cave and smiled faintly.
"Alright, you now know everything about the Heavenly Pride Battlefield. Now, it's time to truly enter."
"If you're destined for greatness, then compete, fight, and strive to become stronger!"
After speaking, Li Changsheng's power surged, and a bright light flew towards the unmoving ancient cave.
As the light fell upon the ancient cave, the once motionless cave suddenly began to tremble.
The dark cave entrance, trembling, began to emit bursts of mysterious aura and light.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng turned to Ji Zining and nodded slightly.
"Go on, beyond the cave lies the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining took a deep breath, and without hesitation, she moved and flew towards the cave.
Ji Zining could tell that this cave was a very ancient teleportation array.
By using this teleportation array, you can reach the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
Upon entering the cave, Ji Zining went completely black, and she lost all sight.
At the same time, a wave of dizziness washed over me.
This dizziness lasted for a full fifteen minutes before slowly disappearing.
Li Changsheng watched Ji Zining disappear into the cave, then turned around and slowly dissipated.
Next, it's up to Zining herself.
Whether she transforms into a dragon and soars into the sky, or continues to coil up, is up to Ji Zining to choose.
One must walk one's own path; others should not interfere excessively.
Not long after, a message was sent from the Ziwei Holy Land, proclaiming it to the entire True Martial Dao Domain.
Ji Zining, the divine daughter of the Ziwei Holy Land, has entered the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
The news shocked everyone involved.
They hadn't expected that Ji Zining would actually enter the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
Only the forces in the Eastern Domain knew that Ji Zining's entry into the Heavenly Pride Battlefield was not unprepared.
Ji Zining has now broken through to the Saint Manifestation Realm.
Within the True Martial Dao Domain, some forces began to stir, while others remained completely still.
As soon as her vision returned, before Ji Zining could even check her surroundings, she felt a heavy pressure suddenly descend upon her.
However, Ji Zining's physical cultivation and spiritual power far exceeded her own realm, so this pressure was sudden and heavy.
However, Ji Zining was not actually injured; her knee simply bent slightly before returning to normal.
Feeling the pressure on her body, Ji Zining was somewhat surprised.
This pressure, or rather gravity, is almost a thousand times that of the True Martial Dao Domain!
This means that the spatial stability within the Heavenly Pride Battlefield is a thousand times stronger than that of the True Martial Dao Domain!
This made Ji Zining sigh.
As expected of a world created by the combined efforts of numerous Great Emperor and powerful figures, it is truly wondrous.
Breaking through space within this environment is something even ordinary Saint Realm experts simply cannot do.
It is estimated that only those at the Peak Saint Realm or above can easily break through space and travel through the void.
Looking around, Ji Zining found herself teleported to a desolate wasteland, where there was no one else around.
No, there wasn't a single living creature, let alone people.
Unable to resist scratching her head, Ji Zining suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know the way.
"That old ancestor is really something, he told me everything, but he wouldn't even give me a map."
"What do we do now?"
Just then, the Divine Child Token that Ji Zining wore at her waist suddenly emitted bursts of mysterious light.
Out of curiosity, Ji Zining took the token.
As soon as she took it down, the token flew off in one direction, as if guiding Ji Zining forward.
Seeing this, Ji Zining pondered for a moment, then activated her Exquisite Flying Immortal Steps and followed.
In this situation, the only option left is to try and see if the Divine Child Token can take me to the Cave Heaven City.
Ji Zining guessed that this Divine Child Token must have sensed the aura of the identity tokens of other Ziwei Holy Land disciples and was guiding her there.
After all, this Divine Child Token is no ordinary object; it is a valuable treasure in itself, so it's normal for it to possess some spiritual power.
Guided by the Divine Child Token, Ji Zining left the wasteland and arrived at a plain.
Then, they passed through a quiet swamp.
In the swamp, Ji Zining encountered some ferocious beasts that had no independent consciousness and only knew how to attack.
However, these ferocious beasts were not very strong, only possessing the strength of the Saint Realm expert, and were easily dealt with by Ji Zining.
Although the ferocious beast was defeated, it also made Ji Zining understand why only Saint Realm could enter the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
Because you haven't reached the Saint Realm, any ferocious beast in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield can kill you!
Just as she flew out of the swamp, Ji Zining noticed that the Divine Child Token had stopped.
Arriving before the Divine Child Token, Ji Zining looked into the distance.
In the distance, an ancient and majestic city stood silently.
Outside the city, more than a dozen figures were rushing towards them.
With a surge of divine sense, Ji Zining clearly saw that these figures were wearing the robes of disciples from the Ziwei Holy Land.
Their attire is more refined than that of inner disciples, so they must be core disciples.
Seeing this, Ji Zining smiled in relief.
It seems they've found the main force.
However, Ji Zining was somewhat surprised that neither the Innate Dao Sect nor the Wuji Divine Sect sent anyone to ambush her.
It's a pity. If we had come, we could have tested the prodigy components in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield beforehand.
