Lan Hua suddenly felt that the organizations in this Half-Heaven Realm were somewhat chaotic, with the Federation, Sin Island, and now Immortal Island.

Yang Yuwei snorted, "What is that federation anyway? It's just a temporary organization set up to intercept those who try to cross the border illegally."

The Xuan Yu people who arrive via teleportation array are no longer considered illegal immigrants, so the Federation will disband sooner or later!

After saying that, Yang Yuwei picked up a rabbit leg and handed it to Lan Hua.

Lan Hua smiled, took the leg meat, and handed it to Ba Xia.

Seeing this, Yang Yuwei tore off another leg, saying, "This is for you to eat, don't give it to that little turtle!"

Your whole family are turtles!

Baxia gnawed on a piece of leg meat and muttered under his breath.

Yang Yuwei said nonchalantly, "My parents died a long time ago, and I don't have any relatives left!"

Upon hearing this, Baxia paused for a moment, then said nothing more and continued to gnaw on its rabbit leg.

Lan Hua said softly, "I'm sorry, my friend doesn't know about your background!"

"It's alright!" Yang Yuwei smiled calmly.

"I was orphaned at a young age and was found in the mountains by a seven-colored peacock."

She raised me, which is why I practiced the Peacock King Technique!

"The Seven-Colored Peacock, one of the Ten Great Spirit Beasts?" Lan Hua asked.

Yang Yuwei nodded, "Not bad!"

Lan Hua asked curiously, "Then aren't you from the land of the Spirit Clan?"

Having been in the Half-Heaven Realm for so long, Lan Hua already has a general understanding of the Spirit Clan's situation.

The land of the Spirit Clan is a place longed for by the demons and beasts of the Half-Heaven Realm. The ten great spirit beast clans all live there, far away from the four continents.

Xiong Lie, a demon who came to the Half-Heaven Realm with Lan Hua, went to join the Spirit Clan.

Yang Yuwei said, "That's right, the place is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, the environment is excellent."

But I didn't want to stay there anymore, so I came out to make a living on my own!

After saying that, the lovely woman threw away the skeleton, wiped her mouth, and got up to go to Wang Hong's body.

"Brother Lan, thank you for your help. I need to return to Sin Island to turn in my quest. We'll meet again someday!"

Lan Hua nodded with a smile, and the beautiful woman summoned a convenient flying boat, which carried Wang Hong's corpse and flew south.

"Brother Ba, we have to go back!"

"Okay!"

Baxia leaped onto Lanhua's shoulder, and the two flew towards the Duanmu family.

As soon as Lan Hua returned to her room, the sky suddenly changed color, with clouds surging everywhere.

"Brother Hua, look at the sky!" Baxia reminded him.

Lan Hua looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were surging together and turning into countless characters.

The strange phenomenon in the sky immediately caught the attention of the noble families, who all came outside and looked up at the horizon.

Confused, Lan Hua quickly moved to the vicinity of the aristocratic family's council hall.

The family's retainers, elders, and core disciples all gathered outside the hall, looking astonished.

The enormous characters in the sky are still changing, seemingly combining into something.

"Grandpa, what exactly is going on with this strange phenomenon in the sky?" Duanmu Zhi Qiu asked.

Duanmu Wudi narrowed his eyes, his expression shifting several times, and sighed:

"Time flies! I can't believe a hundred years have passed so quickly. The Earth Ranking will be unveiled again!"

"The Earthly Ranking?"

Lan Hua asked curiously, "What is that thing?"

Just as Lan Hua was wondering, the white characters in the sky were arranged one by one, becoming orderly.

At the very top of the pile of text stood two ancient characters, which read "Di Bang" (地榜).

"These appear to be names of people?" Lan Hua asked curiously.

"That's right, they are names. Many names are recorded on the Earthly Ranking."

"Anyone who makes the list is qualified to enter Tianyuan Cave!" Duanmu Wudi sighed softly.

"Tianyuan Cave? What's that?"

Not only was Lan Hua completely bewildered, but Duanmu Zhi Qiu was also astonished.

Duanmu Wudi said, "The Tianyuan Cave is located in the desolate land of the Western Continent and only opens once every hundred years. Anyone who is listed on the Earth Ranking can enter the Tianyuan Cave for trials."

There is a wondrous fruit in Tianyuan Cave called Tianyuan Fruit, which contains primordial energy and is extremely magical.

Consuming it can significantly enhance one's cultivation level; the increase is not just a tiny bit, but rumor has it that consuming the Heavenly Origin Fruit can even lead to a breakthrough in cultivation!

Upon hearing this, Lan Hua and Duanmu Zhi Qiu exclaimed in unison, "Such a miraculous fruit exists!"

Duanmu Wudi nodded, "Not only are there rare fruits, but it is also said that there are lost martial arts techniques inside, which is why many people are eager to enter Tianyuan Cave!"

Suddenly, Duanmu Zhi Qiu said, "Brother Lan, look, isn't that your name?"

Lan Hua looked in the direction Duanmu Zhi Qiu pointed and found that her name was indeed there.

Below Lan Hua's name, the source of the list was also listed: a guest alchemist from the Xuan Yu Alliance and the Duanmu family.

Lan Hua was puzzled, "It really is my own name!"

The characters on the list are still being combined, like a painting slowly unfolding.

"Grandpa, I made the list too!" Duanmu Zhi Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

Duanmu Wudi said, "Not only your name is on the list, but also the names of Rong'er, Qian'er, Ruode, Ouyang Zheng, and Gao Feihu!"

Lan Hua asked curiously, "What are the conditions for those who make the list?"

Duanmu Wudi said, "They are all at least at the fourth level of the Dan Shen realm, but looking at this list, it seems that their cultivation levels do not exceed the third level of the Lian Shen realm, which is about the same as a hundred years ago!"

"Why is that?" Lan Hua asked curiously.

"I don't know!"

Looking up at the sky, Lan Hua noticed that there were quite a few people on the list, more than two hundred, all of whom were young geniuses or the backbone of their respective sects.

"Huh, Gao Feihu, the ninth guest elder of a noble family, is also on the Earth Ranking!"

After speaking, Lan Hua glanced at Gao Feihu.

The latter looked somewhat excited, seemingly never expecting to be on the list.

"Does that mean that being selected for Tianyuan Cave would give one the opportunity to improve one's strength, or even successfully break through to a higher realm?" Lan Hua asked curiously.

Duanmu Wudi shook his head. "I don't think so. Being listed on the Earth Ranking is just equivalent to having the qualification to enter Tianyuan Cave for training."

The Tianyuan Cave was extremely dangerous. Since it was a training ground, there were naturally both opportunities and crises inside.

As far as I know, of all those who enter Tianyuan Cave, at most ten percent come out alive!

"Ten percent?"

Lan Hua was taken aback; the danger of Tianyuan Cave exceeded his expectations, and it truly was a matter of life and death.

Even Gao Feihu, standing to the side, was the same, his eyes shifting several times as he pondered whether entering Tianyuan Cave was a blessing or a curse.

Duanmu Wudi said, "All those who survived have greatly increased their cultivation!"

Lan Hua cursed inwardly, thinking that this Tianyuan Cave training was like an investment, but the risk of this investment was really too great.

"Patriarch, can those listed on the Earth Ranking refuse to enter Tianyuan Cave?" Lan Hua asked.

"Of course!"

Duanmu Wudi nodded. "Tianyuan Cave is indeed dangerous, and many people have indeed retreated and not gone in, but even more people still want to obtain some opportunity!"

Lan Hua then asked, "I wonder if the patriarch entered Tianyuan Cave a hundred years ago, and what dangers lurked within?"

Duanmu Wudi shook his head and said, "A hundred years ago, I happened to be on an important mission assigned by my family, so I was unable to enter."

As for the dangers, I know nothing!

Duanmu Zhi Qiu suddenly exclaimed, "Look, the successors of the three religions are also listed on the Earthly Ranking!"

Lan Hua squinted her eyes. "Will they go?"
