Chapter 14 Niu Tie's Provocation

Challenge the Heavenly Path?

Zhao Mu immediately understood Lu Qi's thoughts.

She had just broken through the Jindan realm, and her understanding of her own strength was still unclear, so she had to confirm her current strength by challenging the Heavenly Path, and then challenge Chu Jiaoran.

The Heavenly Path is an ancient secret realm formation of the Shengyuan Demon Sect, with a total of twelve levels. The ranking order of the sect's Tianjiao list is based on the ranking of the Heavenly Path.

The Tianjiao list is divided into three sub-lists: outer sect, inner sect, and direct disciples.

For outer sect disciples, those who can generally reach the third level are considered elites and are qualified to rank in the top 100 of the outer sect Tianjiao list.

As one of the most powerful female cultivators among the outer sect disciples, Chu Jiaoran ranks ninth on the outer sect Tianjiao list.

She reached the fourth level on the Heavenly Path and persisted for more than a quarter of an hour.

Lu Qi stopped at the third level before, but now that she has broken through the Jindan realm, it should not be a problem to step into the fourth level.

So she wanted to challenge the Heavenly Path to see if there is a possibility of surpassing Chu Jiaoran.

If she can't make it into the top ten, then even if she challenges Chu Jiaoran, she won't have much chance of winning.

"Senior sister, you don't have to do this for me."

Zhao Mu knew that Lu Qi wanted to help him solve the worry of Chu Jiaoran, so that Chu Jiaoran wouldn't continue to harass Zhao Mu in the future.

But we are just a trading relationship after all, and she really doesn't need to help Zhao Mu to this extent.

After all, the power behind Chu Jiaoran can't be underestimated, and it may not be weaker than the twelfth elder Lu Haikong. If there is any trouble, Lu Qi will be imprisoned.

Lu Qi smiled and said, "This is not only to help you, but also to help myself. People always say that Chu Jiaoran is the most promising female cultivator in the outer sect, but I can't agree with it. I want to experience it myself, where is the difference between me and her, and which side is better, the human race or the demon race."

Zhao Mu couldn't refute these words.

Mu Jiuling's previous words still made sense.

People who practice cultivation must forge ahead bravely and dare to fight.

Lu Qi must have the same idea.

Having said that, Zhao Mu had no choice but to say, "Then I will go with you. I am also an outer disciple now and I am qualified to challenge the Heavenly Road."

"Okay!"

There will be dangers on this journey, but Zhao Mu was fearless, which made Lu Qi look at him with a high opinion.

Not long after, the two arrived at the outer gate.

The Heavenly Road Secret Realm Array is located on the square in the center of the outer gate.

It is an ancient and heavy gate that stands a hundred feet in the air and flows with golden light.

On the other side of the gate is the Heavenly Road.

Under the Heavenly Road, there is a huge black stone tablet.

The stone tablet is densely packed with names.

It is the Outer Disciple Tianjiao List.

The person ranked first is called Nalan Chuang.

This is a famous figure in the outer gate, and Zhao Mu has heard of him.

It is said that this person is half human and half demon, with half of the Qilin bloodline, but because of his half-blood identity, he was rejected by the demon clan and was considered an ominous person, and he was expelled from his family.

Later, after several twists and turns, he finally found the Shengyuan Demon Sect.

Qilin is a beast of good fortune. He comes from a famous family and originally disdains the Demon Sect. However, there are not many forces in the cultivation world that can treat humans and demons equally. Although the Shengyuan Demon Sect is a demon sect, it is precisely because it is a demon sect that it does not value these rules. Only the Shengyuan Demon Sect will accept him.

This person has an extremely arrogant personality and acts in an independent way. No one obeys him, so he offended many outer disciples and became the public enemy of the outer sect for a while.

However, Nalan Chuang's strength is indeed strong. No matter who challenges him, he accepts it all and has never bowed to him.

Later, he persisted on the fourth level of the Heavenly Road for a full hour and won the first place on the Outer Sect Tianjiao List. No one dared to challenge him anymore.

Zhao Mu took another look at the other top-ranked Tianjiaos.

They were all well-known genius cultivators in the outer sect, and their strength had reached the Jindan realm.

Chu Jiaoran ranked ninth.

Chu Jiaoran was definitely very strong to stand out among the many outer sect Tianjiaos.

Lu Qi ranked ninety-third.

It was quite good to achieve this result without breaking through the Jindan realm, but Lu Qi was obviously not satisfied with it.

"Alas, failed again. The monsters on the third floor of the Tianlu are so terrifying. I really don't know how those Tianjiaos got through."

"Nonsense, otherwise they can be called Tianjiaos?"

Coincidentally, several outer sect disciples came out of the Tianlu. Seeing their dejected appearance, they should have just experienced a setback.

At this moment, a familiar face flew out of the Tianlu on a sword.

It was Niu Tie, and his followers.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Niu. You have risen seven places in the ranking after challenging the Heavenly Road. Now Senior Brother Niu is ranked 79th on the Outer Sect Prodigy List. With time, Brother Niu will definitely be among the top ten Outer Sect Prodigy List!"

Niu Tie looked at the changing rankings on the stone tablet with a proud look on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

"Not bad, not bad. You guys have been good at training with me on weekdays. I will take you to Hua Street tonight to drink and reward you."

As he was talking, Niu Tie suddenly saw Zhao Mu and Lu Qi not far away.

Damn, Zhao Mu's popularity with women is really enviable. Why don't women like me, Master Niu?

Senior Sister Lu Qi's background is not simple. In the Outer Sect, there are probably few people with a stronger background than her.

No, I must not let this kid get away with it.

Niu Tie rolled his eyes and flew straight down.

"Junior Sister Lu, you are also here to challenge the Road to Heaven. Senior brother, I just came out of Road to Heaven. Do you need me to share some information about the third level with you?" Niu Tie said with a smile.

Lu Qi replied lightly: "No need."

It can be said that she is full of aloofness, which is quite in contrast to her free and uninhibited image at night.

Niu Tie was rejected and looked a little embarrassed, but did not leave wisely. Instead, he continued: "Junior Sister Lu, as a senior brother, I need to remind you that Zhao Mu is not a good guy, so you have to be careful. He, so as not to lose both people and money."

Lu Qi frowned slightly, looked at Niu Tie with cold eyes and said, "If you dislike the boring life of a cow, I can send you to be reincarnated in advance."

Lu Qi was now a master in the Dan Formation Realm, and his aura was so tyrannical. With just one look, Niu Tie turned pale with fright, and subconsciously shrank his neck and took two steps back.

Zhao Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Niu Tie, aren't you the 79th newly promoted to the outer sect's genius list? Why did you almost wet your pants when Senior Sister Lu, who was ranked 93rd, glanced at you? It seems that your ranking is very high. ”

Niu Tie was furious: "Babyface, you are only worthy of hiding behind a woman and showing off. If you have the guts, challenge me to a duel. Master Niu will let you know what a real man is!"

After saying that, Niu Tie took out the nameplate of the outer disciple and injected spiritual power to inspire a circle of light.

The aperture spread in all directions, forming a ten-meter-diameter arena that enveloped Zhao Mu.

At the same time, a challenge letter appeared in front of Zhao Mu.

"Outer disciple Niu Tie challenges you to a sparring match. Please choose to agree or reject."

"Don't agree, he is irritating you." Lu Qi said hurriedly.

"Sister, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

Zhao Mu looked at Niu Tie and said, "What's the point of just sparring? It's better to add some bonuses."

Niu Tie was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, exclaiming in his heart that there was such a good thing.

This pretty boy has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. So what if he has a body of pure Yang? With such a huge gap in strength and realm, he will definitely lose.

"Okay, if I lose, I will return this second-grade flying sword to you. At the same time, I will give you another one million spirit stones. If you lose, the storage ring on your hand will belong to me!"

"It's a deal, let's put it down as proof, lest you lose and deny it later."
