The news of Lu Changsheng’s rise to first place on the Qilin Ranking spread throughout Taihua Divine Mountain, and for a moment, countless Elders and Disciples were astonished; Lu Changsheng’s reputation was without equal.
How long had it been since Taihua Holy Land had seen a genius claim the top of the Qilin Ranking?
The disciples of Mount Taihua all set their sights on Lu Changsheng as their goal to strive for in their cultivation.
As the Qilin Ranking updated and the news of Holy Son Lu Changsheng becoming the top of the list spread, other Holy Lands also learned of Lu Changsheng’s ascendancy to the top of the Qilin Ranking.
Although this came about because the original top-ranked genius, “Ku,” had been cultivating for over five hundred thousand years and hence was removed from the Qilin Ranking by Chongxu Daoist, Lu Changsheng had ultimately become the new number one.
Ku started cultivating only slightly earlier than Lu Changsheng; it was hard to say, if they had the same amount of cultivation time, who would win or lose.
Moreover, Ku and Lu Changsheng had never met face to face, so the victor remained undetermined.
No matter what, Lu Changsheng had now become the foremost among the young cultivators.
The emergence of this era’s foremost in Taihua Holy Land surprised many Holy Lands and Cultivator Clans.
Taihua Holy Land’s strength was not ranked at the forefront among all Holy Lands, unlike the Primordial, Taishi Holy Lands, Kunlun Holy Land, and other powerful Holy Lands.
All this while, the highest a Holy Son of Taihua Holy Land could reach was the top ten in the Qilin Ranking—and that would be cause for great celebration in Taihua Holy Land.
For example, Lin Xuantong was ranked second at his peak.
Lin Xuantong’s chief disciple, Qingyang Immortal Emperor, was ranked at a peak of sixth.
And this time, a peerless genius ranked first on the Qilin Ranking emerged from Taihua Holy Land, making Lin Xuantong wish he could set up a hundred thousand banquet tables at Mount Taihua to invite all major Holy Lands and Cultivator Clans for a good boast.
“Lu is truly formidable,” said the eldest brother, Li Changye, who, while cultivating at Changliu Holy Land, was genuinely happy for Lu Changsheng becoming the top of the Qilin Ranking from the bottom of his heart.
When Lu Changsheng was in the mortal realm’s Mount Shu, his actions were already enough to astonish Mount Shu.
To date, Li Changye actually wasn’t surprised that Lu Changsheng had become the top of the Qilin Ranking.
Because deep down, Li Changye always believed that this junior brother could accomplish anything.
“Li, this mortal realm’s junior brother of yours is really defying heaven,” remarked the White Immortal Emperor, who was cultivating with Li Changye and could not help but feel awestruck upon seeing Lu Changsheng becoming the top of the Qilin Ranking, thinking his junior brother from the mortal realm was just too abnormal.

Previously, Feng Mu, who was ranked second on the Qilin Ranking, had been suppressed by Ku and had been the perennial second-placer for a millennium, never managing to ascend to the top.
Lu Changsheng had just defeated Feng Mu at the Yaochi Assembly, and right after, Ku was removed from the Qilin Ranking for exceeding the cultivation time limit of five hundred thousand years, allowing Lu Changsheng to take over the position.
Feng Mu would probably be infuriated to death if he knew about this.
“What are you discussing?”
The Changliu elder appeared, noticing his two disciples chatting idly.
White Immortal Emperor promptly replied, “Master, your humble disciples were discussing the recent news about Lu Changsheng becoming the top of the Qilin Ranking.”
Unexpectedly, the Changliu elder immediately frowned, “Look at other people’s disciples, they’ve become the top of the Qilin Ranking. What about you? In the future, you must cultivate diligently to surpass the other party.”
“Your disciples understand.”
Li Changye and the White Immortal Emperor looked at each other, smiling wryly and helplessly.
Lu Changsheng’s talent was incredibly heaven-defying, which is why he could become the top of the Qilin Ranking, and his cultivation efforts were undoubtedly diligent.
No matter how much they cultivated, their achievements could not possibly surpass Lu Changsheng’s.
To compare his disciples with those of Lin Xuantong’s—wasn’t the Changliu elder giving them too hard of a time?
However, knowing the stubborn temperament of the Changliu elder, it would not do to talk back, so they had to play along.
After the Changliu elder returned to his cave dwelling, he also felt helpless: “Lin Xuantong, oh Lin Xuantong, you scoundrel, your luck is truly incomparable. In our younger days, you took Yue’er from me, and now even the disciples you accept are stronger than mine. Will I never be able to surpass you in my lifetime?”
The Changliu elder couldn’t help but sigh with resignation.
Qi Destiny was indeed an unpredictable thing.
In the territory of the Ancient Feng Family, upon learning that Lu Changsheng had become the top of the Qilin Ranking, Feng Mu truly felt like he was about to explode with anger.
Originally, he had been suppressed by Ku, forever only able to reach second place on the Qilin Ranking.
Ku had an extremely special status, and Feng Mu had truly been defeated by him, so there was nothing he could do but accept being second.
Now, just as he was finally seeing Ku being removed from the Qilin Ranking due to the cultivation time limit, halfway through up comes a Lu Changsheng who replaces Ku as the top of the Qilin Ranking.
Feng Mu remained the second on the Qilin Ranking.
In another era, with Feng Mu’s talent, he could have actually become the top of the Qilin Ranking.
But Feng Mu really struck bad luck as he never once got to be first, instead, he became the true definition of a perennial second.
“Lu Changsheng, wait for me! As the number one person of the Ancient Feng Family, I will absolutely not lose to you,” Feng Mu clenched his fists, filled with unwillingness.
And in a certain majestic palace, a dignified man was cultivating in the central hall, with profound formations laid out around him, drawing in vast amounts of the Immortal Realm’s nature’s spiritual energy, channeling it into his body.
A servant in the Immortal Emperor Realm came in and reported to the man, “Master, someone named Lu Changsheng has surpassed Feng Mu and become the new top of the Qilin Ranking.”
The man, usually unflappable, showed a slight change of expression, “I had thought that Feng Mu, this defeated subordinate of mine, would become the new top of the Qilin Ranking. I did not expect a newcomer to replace my original position. What is this person’s background?”
