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 would not 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 should not be underestimated, and it may not be weaker than the twelfth elder Lu Haikong. If there is any trouble, Lu Qi will also 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 between the human race and the demon race."

Zhao Mu had no way to refute these words.

Mu Jiuling's previous words still make sense.

People who practice should forge ahead bravely and dare to fight.

Lu Qi must have the same idea.

Having said that, Zhao Mu couldn't refuse and said, "Then I'll go too. I'm also an outer disciple now, and I'm qualified to challenge the Heavenly Road."

"Okay!"

There will be dangers on this trip, but Zhao Mu was fearless, which made Lu Qi look up to him.

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 filled with names.

It is the Outer Disciple Tianjiao List.

The first person is named Nalan Chuang.

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

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 is rejected by the demon clan and is considered an ominous person, so he was expelled from his home.

After many 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 disdained 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 a unique way. He does not obey anyone, 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 Ascension 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 are all well-known genius cultivators in the outer sect, and their strength has reached the Jindan realm.

Chu Jiaoran ranked ninth.

Being able to stand out among so many outer sect geniuses, Chu Jiaoran's strength is definitely very strong.

Lu Qi's ranking is 93rd.

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

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

"Nonsense, otherwise they can be called geniuses?"

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

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

It was Niu Tie, who was standing right, and several of his followers.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Niu. This time, the ranking of Senior Brother Niu has risen by seven places in the challenge of the Heavenly Road. Now Senior Brother Niu is already ranked 79th on the Outer Sect Prodigy List. With time, Brother Niu will definitely have a place in the top ten of the Outer Sect Prodigy List!"

Niu Tie looked at the changing ranking on the stone tablet with a proud expression, and couldn't help laughing.

"Not bad, not bad. You guys have been good at training with me on weekdays. I'll take you to the Flower 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. Among 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 here to challenge the Heavenly Road, too. I just came out of the Heavenly Road. Do you need me to share some information about the third floor with you?" Niu Tie said with a smile.

Lu Qi replied indifferently: "No."

It can be said that she was very cold, which was quite different from her free and unrestrained image at night.

Niu Tie was rejected and looked a little embarrassed, but he did not leave wisely, but continued: "Junior Sister Lu, as a senior brother, I have to remind you that Zhao Mu, this pretty boy, is not a good thing. You must beware of him, so as not to lose both people and money."

Lu Qi frowned slightly, stared at Niu Tie coldly and said: "If you dislike this life of Niu, I can send you to reincarnate in advance."

Lu Qi is now a master of the Jindan realm, and his momentum is so strong that Niu Tie was frightened with a look, and his face turned pale. He 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 newly promoted 79th on the Outer Sect Prodigy List? How come you almost peed your pants when Senior Sister Lu, who is ranked 93rd, glared at you? It seems that your ranking is very exaggerated."

Niu Tie was furious: "Little white face, you are only worthy of hiding behind a woman and pretending to be pretentious. If you have the courage, challenge me. Master Niu will let you know what a real man is!"

After that, Niu Tie sacrificed the Outer Sect Disciple's nameplate and injected spiritual power to stimulate a magic circle.

The circle spread out in all directions, forming a ring with a diameter of ten meters, covering Zhao Mu.

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

"Outer Sect Disciple Niu Tie challenges you to a sparring match. Please choose to agree or refuse."

"Don't agree. He is provoking you." Lu Qi said hurriedly.

"Senior Sister, don't worry. I know my limits."

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

Niu Tie was slightly stunned, and then laughed, and he said in his heart that there was such a good thing.

This pretty boy has just broken through the foundation building stage. Even if he has a pure yang body, he will definitely lose given the huge gap in strength.

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

"Deal, write it down as a proof, so that you won't deny it if you lose later."
