2549 Grade 8 Heaven Immortal



In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed and it was getting closer to the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.

Over the years, as paragons of the major sects and factions appeared one after another, the cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Prediction changed continuously as well.

Even in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction, a few people were replaced.

As the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet approached, the competition for the Heaven Ranking Prediction became even more intense.

However, the top five of the Heaven Ranking Prediction did not change at all ever since the battle in the Asura Battlefield!

Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Yun Ting of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom.

Rank 2, Qin Gu of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect.

Rank 3, Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy.

Rank 4, Zong Feiyu of Flying Immortal Sect.

Rank 5, Lie Xuan of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

The five of them firmly occupied the top five of the Heaven Ranking Prediction. No matter how intense the battles later on were, nothing could change their rankings!

Furthermore, after the battle on the Asura battlefield, the five of them chose to cultivate in seclusion and did not appear.

"Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy is indeed powerful. The battle a thousand years ago brought immense pressure to Yun Ting and the others. All these years, they have been in seclusion and strived to advance."

"Seems like Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking this time round should be between Yun Ting, Qin Gu and Su Zimo."

"Zong Feiyu isn't weak either. After all, his strength was reduced after he was sealed by the malevolent blood in the Asura battlefield."

As the date of the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet approached, many cultivators came out of seclusion one after another and gathered in groups of two or three to discuss the Heaven Ranking.

Overall, the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain had seven heaven-grade factions, three Immortal Kingdoms and four immortal sects that ruled over their own territories.

Although Divine Firmament Palace was not among the seven major factions, its status was extraordinary and it was also the true core of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!

After all, there were no Emperor-level experts backing the seven heaven-grade factions.

However, Divine Firmament Palace had an Immortal Emperor holding down the fort!

Typically, apart from some special circumstances, Divine Firmament Palace would not interfere directly in the affairs of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Instead, they would leave it to the seven heaven-grade factions to manage and weigh the pros and cons.

Even if one of the seven heaven-grade factions was destroyed, Immortal Emperor Divine Firmament might not appear.

The rise and fall of an Immortal Kingdom and sect was a normal occurrence for peak experts like Immortal Emperors who had long lifespans.

As long as it did not threaten Divine Firmament Palace or affect his status, there was naturally no need for him to step in.

The Divine Firmament Immortal Meet that was held once every 100,000 years was considered the greatest event in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.

This grand event was hosted by Divine Firmament Palace. At the same time, it was to express to all the cultivators, sects and factions of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain that Divine Firmament Palace had an unshakable status!

…

It was now one day away from the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.

Logically speaking, all the major sects and factions should have arrived at Divine Firmament Palace a day earlier.

Many disciples of the cultivators of Heaven and Earth Academy were already gathered outside the teleportation hall of the academy.

Under normal circumstances, not everyone would have a chance to take part in the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.

Typically, for other sects and factions, only Perfected Immortal and Heaven Immortal experts were qualified to enter the territory of Divine Firmament Palace.

However, the seven heaven-grade factions received special treatment.

Divine Firmament Palace allowed the seven heaven-grade factions to lead some Earth Immortals to take part and expand their knowledge.

This time round, Heaven and Earth Academy had two leaders in charge of the group. They were the disciples of the Sect Master of the Academy, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Painting Immortal Mo Qing.

Initially, given Painting Immortal Mo Qing's personality, she would not be willing to partake in such events.

However, this time round, Painting Immortal Mo Qing took the initiative to request permission.

A thousand years ago, Fairy Mo Qing helped Su Zimo save someone in Cangyun Mountain and even killed a Perfected Immortal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Therefore, over the years, the rumors about Fairy Mo Qing and Su Zimo had spread widely in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.

The fact that Fairy Mo Qing took the initiative to partake in the event this time round made everyone's imagination run even wilder.

Hundreds of thousands of disciples of the academy were gathered in front of the teleportation hall. Most of them were Heaven Immortals, but there were also many outer sect disciples with outstanding endowments.

Unless there were special circumstances forbidding them, no one wanted to miss this grand event that happened once every 100,000 years.

Furthermore, if it was any other time, none of them would have had the chance to enter Divine Firmament Palace.

This was a rare opportunity that could not be missed!

At that moment, almost all the disciples of the academy who were heading to the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet were gathered. However, no one moved.

That was because there was someone else who had yet to arrive.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators were waiting for a single person. However, most of the disciples of the academy had calm expressions and did not complain.

That was because this person had brought too much glory to the academy!

Rank 1 of the Earth Ranking, Rank 3 of the Heaven Ranking Prediction and an earthshaking battle in the Asura Battlefield!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were closed and he was expressionless.

In order to please Sword Immortal Yue Hua, a Perfected Immortal suddenly muttered, "What arrogance. To think that he would make so many of us wait for him."

"Su Zimo isn't even rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking yet nor is he an actual legacy disciple of the academy!"

Yang Ruoxu said deeply, "He must have been held back by something important. His Dao children are guarding the entrance and not letting outsiders in. There's a high chance that he's at a critical juncture of his cultivation and must not be disturbed."

Suddenly, Mo Qing spoke, "It's fine as long as we make it to Divine Firmament Palace a day earlier. There's still a few hours and we can make it."

"But…"

The Perfected Immortal wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, Sword Immortal Yue Hua opened his eyes and interrupted, "It's fine to wait a little more. Junior Brother Su's fight for the Heaven Ranking this time round is also a meritorious deed for the academy. We have to be patient."

Chen Xuan was stunned.

Wasn't Sword Immortal Yue Hua at odds with Su Zimo?

Why was he suddenly speaking up for Su Zimo today?

"Y-Y-Yes!"

Although he had many questions, Chen Xuan nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly and looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua deeply. However, the latter had a calm expression and revealed nothing.

Before long, a green-robed cultivator sped over from the direction of the inner sect and arrived before them in the blink of an eye—it was Su Zimo.

"Grade 8 Heaven Immortal! Senior Brother Su broke through again!"

Out of curiosity, an inner sect disciple scanned Su Zimo with his spirit consciousness and exclaimed in shock.

Instantly, countless spirit consciousnesses swept past Su Zimo.

Everyone was shocked!

Su Zimo had just broken through to become a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal in the Asura battlefield.

In less than a thousand years, he advanced another level and entered the level of a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal!

The hundreds of thousands of Heaven Immortals present knew in their hearts that it was increasingly difficult to break through towards the end of the Heaven Immortal realm.

Among them, many people who were stuck as Grade 7 Heaven Immortals for tens of thousands of years might not even be able to touch the threshold of a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal, let alone break through.

Su Zimo had entered the inner sect of the academy for less than 5,000 years and had already cultivated to the level of a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal!

"Senior Brother Su's cultivation realm has broken through once more. His ranking on the Heaven Ranking Prediction should surpass Qin Gu. He should now be Rank 2."

"That phase is over. The rankings on the Heaven Ranking Prediction will no longer be updated."

"Now that Senior Brother Su is a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal, the chances of him obtaining Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking are even higher!"

Many disciples of the academy discussed excitedly.

Yang Ruoxu sent a voice transmission to Su Zimo's spirit consciousness and reminded secretly, "Brother Su, watch out for Yue Hua. I feel that something is amiss with him."

Su Zimo nodded silently.

"Let's go."

Sword Immortal Yue Hua glanced at Su Zimo before turning around and walking towards the teleportation hall first.
