No Rankings in the Three Realms

They entered the Immortal Court through the Western Heavenly Gate and then exited through the Southern Heavenly Gate.

In just one hour, they traveled from Xiniu Hezhou to the Great Han Dynasty in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent.

As Zhang Xuezhou emerged from the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai, he glanced at the familiar landscape and couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.

The two leaders traveled smoothly without any obstacles, while the Immortal Court was currently in a state of neglect, with the Jade Emperor shirking his responsibilities and the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables each minding their own business, so very few eyes were on the two leaders.

Upon entering Mount Tai, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Yin-Yang Secret Land.

Is Feng Xize in that direction?

Following Zhang Xuezhou's gaze, the leader of the Zhunti was clearly somewhat impatient.

"Let me identify the orientation!"

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and looked around, then after more than ten seconds he pointed in a direction.

"If we travel about 500 li along this route, we should reach Fengxize," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"So close?" the Sect Master Jieyin exclaimed in surprise.

"Near as it may be, without directions, who would know the location?" Master Zhunti said solemnly, "There is a secret place in Mount Tai that is connected by the South Heavenly Gate, thus forming a thoroughfare, but in all these years, no one has been seen to find and develop this secret place!"

"That's true!"

Feng Xize's location was much closer than the Sect Master Jieyin had imagined.

He could travel that distance in the morning and return to Lingshan in the afternoon, let alone spend two days there.

But no matter how close the distance, without Zhang Xuezhou's guidance, even if he flew around ten times, he would hardly discover the wonder of it.

"Great Ming King, use your strength to fly! Fly these five hundred li quickly!"

Zhunti the command of the Master Zhunti, the Peacock Great Wisdom King spread his wings, creating a streak of seven-colored light, and his speed was several times faster than when he flew in the Immortal Court.

"The Great Ming King is truly skilled at flying!"

Zhang Xuezhou sat on the peacock's back, feeling no wind or waves whatsoever.

If you don't look down at the rapidly receding mountains below, you'd hardly feel the speed at which you're traveling.

This feeling of soaring is somewhat similar to riding an Airbus.

Zhang Xuezhou was also extremely skilled at flying, but he couldn't carry three people on his back and fly that fast, even when he was piloting the Sky Shuttle.

The Peacock Great Wisdom King's flying skills were clearly extremely high, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but inquire about his flying skills from the two leaders.

He showered the Peacock Great Wisdom King with praise, and even the Zhunti Master, who was refining his staff, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"The Peacock Great Wisdom King's strength is inferior to ours, but his flying ability is top-notch, ranking among the top ten in the Three Realms," said the Master Zhunti. "If we rely solely on physical flight, he is second only to the Golden-Winged Roc."

"He's still inferior to Leizhenzi," the Sect Master Jieyin reminded him.

"Why count the dead?" Master Zhunti chuckled after casting a spell with his fingers. "The dead don't count. Otherwise, if we include the ancient phoenix, Yinglong, and others, the Peacock Great Wisdom King wouldn't even be in the top ten in terms of physical strength. And if we factor in his Law Treasure, his overall ranking in the Three Realms would drop to the third tier, around 30th or 40th!"

"The top ten in the Three Realms are amazing!" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed. "Is the Golden-Winged Roc the number one in flying in the Three Realms?"

"First place?"

The Sect Master Jieyin stroked his beard, smiled, and then shook his head.

The ranking of the Three Realms is not simply a matter of first or second place.

When discussing their own strength, figures like the Sect Master Jieyin would only humbly say that they were among the top ten in the Three Realms, rather than actually giving an accurate ranking.

This is partly due to the conflicting and restrictive nature of cultivation practices, but more importantly, it's because people don't want to fight to the death over a ranking.

The Sect Master Jieyin is among the top ten in the Three Realms, as is the Lord of Zhunti, and the same is true for Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and the Emperor.

If we absolutely have to find a number one, then only Daoist Hongjun, who taught the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables, can truly convince people. All other Mingdu irrelevant.

The ranking of strength is like this, and the ranking of speed is the same.

If one reaches the level of the Peacock Great Wisdom King, it means being at the top level in the Three Realms.

For example, the Golden-Winged Roc excels at high and long-distance flight, while the Peacock Great Wisdom King is better at short-distance shuttle flight. Each has its advantages. The Peacock Great Wisdom King is better at sprinting over short distances, while the Golden-Winged Roc is better at long-distance flight.

Currently, these two are the leaders of the flying demons, and when comparing them, the Zhunti, humbly remarked.

"Awesome!"

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Xuezhou immediately learned about the situation of the skilled flyers in the Three Realms.

The rankings are approximate and not specific.

For example, if Zhang Xuezhou possessed the flying ability of the Peacock Great Wisdom King, he could be placed in the first tier of flying cultivators. As for who is stronger and who is weaker, it is difficult to determine, as many cultivators have their own flying advantages!

"Come and give it a try!"

While Zhang Xuezhou and the Sect Master Jieyin were chatting animatedly, the Zhunti Leader was continuously cultivating the spiritual wood on Fangzhang Island.

Once the lotus leaves were wrapped around it layer by layer, the previously green staff had changed its appearance.

The golden lotus leaves are like gold foil inlaid, and the veins on the lotus leaves are like veins and blood vessels, giving this spirit wood staff a touch of extravagant refinement, and making it seem as if it has come to life.

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and grabbed the long staff handed to him by the leader of the Zhunti. He then swung the staff back and forth a few times, feeling a connection between his palm and the staff.

The staff no longer rejected him, nor was it as indifferent and difficult to command as before.

"The more you refine it, the more it will become as easy to control as your own arm," said the Master of the Zhunti.

"How do you refine this thing?" Zhang Xuezhou asked. "Do you keep attacking it with my Law Power?"

"The refining process is divided into three, six, and nine grades, with these nine grades being the lowest..."

"Use this staff to kill more enemies. The more you kill, and the stronger the opponents you defeat, the more obedient it will become!"

Zhunti the Zhunti Sect Leader was about to express himself tactfully, the somewhat anxious Sect Master Jieyin directly explained the most effective method of purification.

"Too!"

The Master of the Cundi Sect Zhunti, indicating that the Sect Master Jieyin was right.

Only by constantly defeating powerful enemies can the treasure for proving the Dao grow stronger with each battle, eventually becoming one with the cultivator.

In the Three Realms, when people mention the Seven Treasures Tree, they think of Master Zhunti, and not anyone else. Even if he were to die one day and someone else were to inherit the Seven Treasures Tree, this treasure would only remain a legend of Master Zhunti, and no one would be able to unleash its power stronger than his.

"What Zhunti said is the best method of refining. As for the impact of Law Power, it is Lower Vehicle method. Refining for a lifetime will only yield the same result," Zhunti concluded.

"If the Emperor can lead us to find that thieving cultivator from the Outer Heavens, you will be responsible for killing him with a staff. One killing will allow you to refine this staff to near perfection," said the Sect Master Jieyin.

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

The Master Zhunti nodded repeatedly and then stopped the Peacock Great Wisdom King from slowing down his flight.

Both of them simultaneously scanned the area below, searching continuously.

If Zhang Xuezhou's estimate of 500 li was correct, they should have reached Fengxize.
