Chapter 203: Chapter 18 Qiankun List Number Five_2
The reason for his rise in the rankings was that three months ago he descended from the Sword Cottage, entered the world, destroyed a Mo River, and with a single sword slashed two Great Demons of the Divine Travel Realm who had crossed their boundaries. His combat achievements were outstanding, so he was placed ahead of her.
Joining the Qian Dragon List at the age of fourteen was nothing short of sensational.
Even with a named mentor, there would still be many forces willing to reach out and win him over; even if it was just for a favor or acquaintance, it would be worthwhile.
The Qiankun List was updated monthly, and Li Wushuang thought about the latest changes, her mood inevitably complex.
When the newest rankings were announced, the young martial artists of the nineteen states were all shaken.
Even though the Divine General Mansion deliberately concealed the grand battle of Qingzhou, there were too many witnesses, and the news could not be hidden. Moreover, Tianji Tower, the establishment responsible for the Qiankun List rankings, claimed to grasp the heavenly secrets and see through all things in the world. They might even know if a certain youngster in the borderlands were to disturb a bird’s nest, let alone such a significant battle.
With the update of the Qiankun List, that name naturally made it onto the roster.
Ranked fifth.
Fourteen years old and fifth on the Qian Dragon List.
Li Hao.
Seeing this message and ranking, all the forces paying attention to the Qiankun List were shocked, especially when they saw the description of that young man’s realm, having reached the Heavenly Human Realm!
A fourteen-year-old in the Heavenly Human Realm shook the world to its core.
No wonder he was ranked fifth on the Qian Dragon List.
It should be known that historically, only those in the Heavenly Human Realm were qualified to contend for the top ten positions on the Qian Dragon List.
For example, the disciples under the True Person of Gan Tao Palace, the cherished successors of that Buddha figure, or the newly taken pupils by a certain wandering beggar, and other young True Dragons from the Divine General Mansion…
Too many exceptional talents, too few spots available.
This was, after all, a selection of just ten from the countless martial artists of the Dayu Divine Dynasty.
As the ranking was released, some in the Rivers and Lakes Misty Rain Tower predicted that within two years, this youth would climb to the top of the Qian Dragon List and remain seated there until the age of 22 when he would leave the rankings.
Suppression of the Qian Dragon List for six years!
This prediction, though audacious, didn’t seem so far-fetched in light of his record-breaking cultivation speed.
Li Wushuang had come to Dayue City primarily to catch up to that silhouette.
…
…
At another gate of Dayue City, a caravan approached.
“Look, we’re almost there!”
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and out from the caravans peeked young faces, full of lively vitality.
“Yue Yao, this Dayue City is quite impressive indeed.”
Inside the carriage, Lin Feifei, dressed in green, had sparkling eyes full of surprise, as this was her first visit to Liangzhou. Due to the geographical environment of Liangzhou, which is not suitable for agricultural farming, the state often imported food from other states. In her mind… this was a poor area.
Indeed, in terms of fiscal revenues amongst the nineteen states, Liangzhou was among those at the bottom.
“Yes.”
Song Yueyao, who was traveling with her, nodded slightly, her eyes gleaming with a trace of longing for the upcoming grand event.
“Yue Yao, did you hear that Heavenly Gate Pass, where Master Li sits, is in Liangzhou?”
Lin Feifei suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, uncertain about her geography.
Song Yueyao’s gaze sharpened, the light in her eyes seemed to retract, and she grew somewhat silent, “That’s right.”
“Then, should we go and see him after this event is over?” Lin Feifei blurted out with her thoughts.
Song Yueyao shook her head, well-aware of her friend’s nature, saying:
“Heavenly Gate Pass is unpredictable and perilous, our presence would only cause him trouble. Grandfather said that Aunt Qiumo has gone to see him, he should be fine.”
“Oh.”
Seeing this, Lin Feifei could only give up with regret, muttering a few words in defense of Li Hao softly, barely above a whisper, and did not dare to continue.
These words were only murmured in secrecy, for slandering the Divine General presiding over a state was no trivial matter, and even if unheard, it made her somewhat uneasy.
“We’re here to cultivate and improve ourselves this time, we need to stay focused. After we reach the Fifteen Li Realm, it won’t be too late to look for him.”
Song Yueyao said.
Without attaining the Fifteen Li Realm, one couldn’t even fly, and if faced with powerful demons, escape wouldn’t be an option.
Lin Feifei nodded slightly, understanding the profound significance of the grand assembly of Grandmasters for them, it could lay a foundation for their eventual stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm.
After all, overcoming the threshold to the Heavenly Human Realm must be achieved on their own; no matter how plentiful the resources, building up to the Fifteen Li Realm is where it ends.
The carriage curtain fell, and the carriage swayed toward the massive bronze city gates.
…
…
Outside Dayue City, high in the sky a hundred li away.
Several figures rushed through the air, landing on the desolate ground, a good distance from the official road, unnoticed by anyone.
Leading them was a young man dressed in a purple-golden robe, with a stalwart build, handsome features, but a long, dense beard on his lower jaw, and eyes flashing a compelling purple-gold light.
“Young master, that’s Dayue City ahead.”
A gray-robed elder respectfully said.
He had dragon horns coiling atop his head and gray scales at his neck, his cheeks were pointed and carried a hint of chilliness.
“It looks to be a fine platter indeed.”
The purple-golden robed youth’s eyes shimmered with a violet hue, and he licked his lips slightly as he focused his gaze, “Once we take down this city, we can join forces with my father inside and outside the northwest, directly tearing through. Together with those people, the garrison troops of Liangzhou won’t have time to react!”
The gray-robed elder smiled, “I heard they are holding a grand event here, with masters from all states rushing here. These will be sumptuous meals for you, young master, to enjoy at your leisure.”
