#500 - Chapter 500: Prodigy Ranking
“Oh?” Ye Kong's interest was piqued by Luo Yangtian's words.
The sudden surge in天地 (heaven and earth) spiritual energy was a rare occurrence for the cultivation world, perhaps only seen once in a millennium.
“In the past, if a sect produced a genius who could go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in a year, they would be revered and nurtured with all the sect's resources as the future of the sect.”
Speaking of this, Luo Yangtian remembered that Ye Kong had not yet reached Foundation Establishment and, fearing he might hurt Ye Kong's feelings, quickly reassured him:
“Um, Junior Nephew Ye, don't be too discouraged. Everyone has their strengths.”
“At least, I've never seen anyone as handsome as you.”
Ye Kong shook his head with a wry smile. He really wanted to reach Foundation Establishment, but the system wouldn't allow it.
“I'm fine, Sect Leader, please continue,” Ye Kong said.
Seeing that Ye Kong was not too affected, Luo Yangtian felt relieved, but a thought arose in his mind.
Junior Nephew Ye must be numb.
Yes, anyone who had been stuck in the Qi Refining stage for so long would have become numb.
Moreover, Ye Kong's disciples were geniuses among geniuses, even among those outside.
It was said that when a person experienced a certain level of trauma, ordinary setbacks would no longer cause them any harm.
Junior Nephew Ye, I, Luo, would like to call you the strongest in the Qi Refining stage.
Luo Yangtian made a comment in his heart about Ye Kong, and then continued:
“Now, those geniuses are as common as cattle.”
“The cultivation world can now be described as a place where demons walk everywhere and geniuses are as common as dogs.”
“Moreover, a Heaven's Pride Ranking has appeared, featuring the geniuses who have emerged in recent years.”
“From Golden Core to Venerable Realm, countless Heaven's Pride are competing on the list.”
Luo Yangtian then introduced the most popular Heaven's Pride Ranking.
It turned out that this list had only appeared in the last month or two.
It was divided into the Golden Core Ranking, the Nascent Soul Ranking, the Shackles Ranking, and the Venerable Ranking.
Each list contained the names of some Heaven's Pride.
For example, the first on the Golden Core Ranking was Ouyang Qiubai.
A demon who went from Qi Refining to Golden Core in just half a year.
As for the second, it was similar, but Luo Yangtian had forgotten the second name.
There was also the first on the Nascent Soul Ranking, Dugu Wudi.
Currently invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm, he could even kill cultivators in the first level of the Shackles Realm.
The first on the Shackles Ranking was Ximen Chuifeng.
He cultivated wind-attribute techniques, which were various air currents formed from the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
His move, Black Sun Wind Disaster, could change the color of the sky and the earth.
It was said that he was flamboyant and liked to seduce married women.
This had aroused public anger, and victims had formed a "Wind Blocking Alliance."
Approximately one thousand Shackles Realm Venerables and two hundred Venerable Realm experts.
Using a beautiful young woman, they finally set up an ambush and surrounded Ximen Chuifeng.
As a result, all those who ambushed him fell under the Black Sun Wind Disaster.
Fortunately, Ximen Chuifeng showed mercy and was unwilling to cause more killings.
Therefore, in the context of the soaring spiritual energy in the cultivation world, the spiritual power of cultivators became more and more profound.
And Ren Wofei also soared several times.
He claimed to be the only one supreme in heaven and earth, of course, referring to the Venerable Realm.
The Heaven and Earth Sect had also grown stronger and had now become a transcendent organization spanning several states.
The former Demonic Sect and the Orthodox Sect had to form an alliance to resist.
To avoid being unified by the people of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
After introducing these main rankings, Luo Yangtian was a little tired.
Ye Kong found it very interesting. After the spiritual energy became rich, many monsters really emerged.
“By the way, Junior Nephew Ye, what about your disciples?”
“Have they made any moves?”
Luo Yangtian asked.
Ye Kong's disciples were even more demonic than those like Ouyang Qiubai in the past.
He always remembered Ye Xiaoyao, who entered Foundation Establishment in the morning and Golden Core in the evening.
The remaining others, although they did not improve so quickly, were basically invincible in the same realm.
They were so powerful before, but now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had soared, they should not have disappeared without a trace.
Ye Kong scanned Taoyuan Mountain with his spiritual sense, smiled and said:
“It's a coincidence, they just came out of seclusion and should have broken through.”
“I'll call them over.”
After Ye Kong finished speaking, he transmitted a message to Lin Yaoyao, who had just emerged from seclusion.
Let her call all the disciples over.
Ye Kong planned to arrange for them to experience the world and brush the Heaven's Pride Ranking.
They could not always stay in the greenhouse of Xiaoyao Peak.
On Taoyuan Mountain, Lin Yaoyao had just left seclusion.
Two dragon and phoenix phantoms hovered around her, occasionally letting out a dragon roar and phoenix cry.
The countless plants, trees, birds, and animals around her bowed down upon hearing the sound.
As if paying homage to an emperor.
“I finally cultivated to the Emperor Realm, but it's still too slow.”
Lin Yaoyao was not very satisfied with her progress.
At this time, people also walked out of the rooms next door.
Xiao Bai walked out with a smug look on his face, exuding a sharp and domineering aura.
“Hahahaha, I have broken through to the Venerable Realm.”
“From now on, I am the Senior Brother of Xiaoyao Peak.”
Xiao Bai felt that the breakthrough was very smooth, and as a double core powerhouse.
When he broke through to the Venerable Realm, his strength was equivalent to twice that of an ordinary Venerable Realm.
Moreover, he cultivated both spiritual and demonic energy, and his techniques were endless.
He could far exceed the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.
Therefore, he was at least three or four times stronger than an ordinary Venerable, or even more.
Therefore, Xiao Bai swelled up and decided to challenge the position of Senior Sister Lin Yaoyao.
To avenge the shame of being suppressed that year.
“Oh, really?”
A cold female voice came from beside him.
Xiao Bai turned his head and saw Lin Yaoyao showing a kind smile to him.
Behind her, two dragon and phoenix phantoms were staring at Xiao Bai, revealing a grim look.
Feeling Lin Yaoyao's aura, Xiao Bai inexplicably wanted to bow down.
“Em, Emperor Realm?”
Xiao Bai said with some stammering.
“Come on, Xiao Bai, I'll spar with you to see who can be the first disciple of Xiaoyao Peak.”
Lin Yaoyao beckoned to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai immediately followed his heart.
He immediately bowed down and said flatteringly to Lin Yaoyao:
“The first disciple of Xiaoyao Peak must be Senior Sister, if anyone wants to snatch Senior Sister's position, I, Xiao Bai, will be the first to disagree!”
As Xiao Bai spoke, he also took out his weapon, looking loyal.
“Hmph, you didn't say that just now.”
Lin Yaoyao snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai directly in front of her.
Xiao Bai didn't have time to resist at all, and couldn't even resist.
He could only scream constantly.
Xiao Qing and others also left seclusion one after another, and their cultivation had all risen by one realm.
They watched Xiao Bai being beaten with great interest.
