The trial list immediately attracted the attention of everyone outside the tower.
The imperial sons and daughters of the major holy land-level forces unsurprisingly dominated the top ten, with varying levels of performance.
However, due to the difference in cultivation levels, no one can consistently outperform the imperial sons and daughters of other holy lands in terms of aptitude; they are all roughly equal.
The Yingyue Sect also had quite a few sect-level elders on the list, including Rong Qingyan and Rong Qingxian. Their performance was average, but still slightly inferior to the imperial princes and princesses of the major holy lands.
However, they are already the two highest-ranked elders among the sect-level elders. Although they have not broken the ranking monopoly of the Holy Land's geniuses, they have barely managed to stay at the tail end of the top ten.
Seeing their own trial rankings dominated by outsiders, it would be a lie for the higher-ups of the Moon Reflection Sect not to feel aggrieved.
But they had no choice but to accept it. After all, these people were all geniuses from the Holy Land, and among the very best. It was only natural that they could crush the geniuses of the Moon Reflection Sect. The gap was there, and what could they say if they couldn't compete?
"I'm afraid only Fu Feng can break through the encirclement."
The Venerables of the Reflecting Moon Sect thought to themselves, Ye Chen is not a member of the Reflecting Moon Sect. Chi Yuan can be said to be the last face of the Reflecting Moon Sect. If there is anyone else who can break the monopoly of the Holy Land's geniuses, it can only be Chi Yuan.
Just when all the Venerables of the Moon Reflection Sect were pinning their hopes on Chi Yuan, suddenly, the appearance of a name stunned all the high-level experts, including the great Saint Lords.
Willow smoke!
With the cultivation level of a first-stage Spirit Emperor, he mastered a low-level Heaven-rank spiritual technique in just one hundred days while cultivating spiritual skills in the tower!
Not only did they forcefully break into the top ten, but they also seized the number one spot on the trial leaderboard with an overwhelming advantage!
The entire audience was in an uproar.
It should be noted that a first-level Spirit Emperor's cultivation is barely enough to reach the threshold for cultivating a low-level Heaven-rank spiritual skill. Being able to enter the basics within a hundred days is already considered exceptional talent. In contrast, You Rong Qingxian, a seventh-level Spirit Sect cultivator, has only just achieved minor success in her cultivation.
However, Liu Ruyan directly cultivated to the Great Perfection!
What does this mean?
It's no exaggeration to say that they could crush the imperial princes and princesses of the major holy lands on the list into dust; they're not even in the same league.
Their physique or bloodline is probably at least at the top level of the Emperor rank!
"Liu Yan? Who is this?"
"This woman is not from a sacred land, could she be a disciple of the Reflecting Moon Sect?"
"The Moon Reflection Sect actually has such a top genius?"
...
The great holy lords all began to breathe rapidly. Although the top talents of the Emperor rank could not compare to the Quasi-God Body, they were still rare talents that appeared only once every few thousand years, and were the ceiling-level talents below the God rank.
Those with such talent, as long as they don't die prematurely, can almost all become emperors, and their potential far surpasses that of a third-class emperor of the same rank.
The Holy Lords never expected that a sect that wasn't even a Holy Land would have such a top-tier genius; it was truly a pleasant surprise.
Now we have to take the Moon Reflection Sect seriously.
Thankfully, we didn't forcefully demand trial slots from the Moon Reflection Sect yesterday. Otherwise, not only would we not have been able to recruit Ye Chen, but Liu Yan would definitely have been out of a job.
"Liu Yan is actually a disciple of our sect? Why have I never heard of such a genius before?"
"I have never heard of such a person. Logically speaking, someone with such exceptional talent who has cultivated to the Spirit Emperor level should have been famous throughout the sect by now. Why is he so unknown?"
The Venerables of the Reflecting Moon Sect were completely bewildered. After inquiring among themselves, none of them knew Liu Yan's identity. When they asked Sikong Yan or Yu Ling Shuang, they only received a reply that puzzled them even more: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Who exactly is this Liu Yan?
The Venerables of Yingyue Sect were increasingly eager to try their luck, but before they could recover from the shock brought by Liu Yan, another name that left everyone dumbfounded appeared on the list.
Ning Wan'er!
With a cultivation level of only the seventh level of the Spirit King realm, he actually managed to cultivate a low-level Heaven-rank spiritual technique to the intermediate stage?!
All the saints were dumbfounded. Although Ning Wan'er was ranked second, after Liu Yan who was first, they all knew that even if Ning Wan'er's talent was lower than Liu Yan's, it was definitely not much lower. Conservatively speaking, it was a first-class emperor-level talent!
What exactly is going on with the Moon Reflection Sect?
It would be considered good if even one person with a first-class Emperor-level talent appeared in any era, and that's on a continent-wide scale. However, not only have two appeared now, but they also appeared in the same sect!
This is absolutely outrageous!
The Venerables of the Moon Reflection Sect were also dumbfounded. What the hell was this? How come it was yet another genius they had never heard of?
Although Ning Wan'er entered the sect with Chi Yuan, apart from a few people around her, as well as Ye Chen, her master, and her senior sister, not many people in the Yingyue Sect knew her name.
In addition, she only activated her bloodline through the diamond-shaped mark after Liu Yan appeared. Her cultivation level also jumped to the seventh level of the Spirit King after cultivating the Great Love Immortal Art and relying on her feelings for Chi Yuan. Therefore, she had no chance to show her face and become famous before, and was naturally unknown in the sect.
At this moment.
The top ten of the Trial Ranking have changed again.
The third name on the list became Yunmeng.
Fourth-level Spirit King cultivation, minor mastery of a low-level Heavenly Rank spiritual technique!
The Holy Lords are exhausted, and now another First-Rank Emperor has appeared?
Not a buddy.
They're all from the "Emperor" generation, so why is the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's imperial daughter considered to have first-class imperial talent?
Seeing Liu Yan's talent, they were not jealous.
Seeing Ning Wan'er's talent, they weren't jealous.
Seeing Yunmeng's talent, they were truly jealous. Why could the Tianfeng Clan produce such an outstanding talent, while their own clan couldn't?
"Haha, with this imperial princess, how could my Yunlan Holy Land not prosper?"
Amidst a chorus of resentful gazes, Yunlan Mountain, the Holy Lord of Yunlan Holy Land, laughed triumphantly, his back straighter than ever before.
He originally thought Yunmeng was only a third-class Emperor-level bloodline, but he didn't expect her to be a first-class one. Why should Yunmeng marry? Wouldn't it be better to raise her together with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?
She's definitely a future empress!
Giving Ye Chen a free ride is a complete waste of a goddess!
Bang!
At this moment, however, the rankings on the trial list underwent another major change.
Liu Yan's first place was surprisingly taken by Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen's cultivation level was much higher than Liu Yan's, and his spiritual skill had only reached the intermediate level, he was slightly better than Liu Yan because he was cultivating a mid-level Heaven-rank spiritual skill, which was a level more difficult to cultivate than a low-level Heaven-rank skill.
In fact, this ranking was deliberately controlled by Liu Yan. She never intended to surpass Ye Chen, otherwise it would be meaningless to steal Ye Chen's thunder.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, that's how people who enjoy themselves are. Those involved only need to create the fun, while those who watch the fun have to consider many things, such as how to participate to maximize their immersion and to what extent they can participate to have the most fun.
No one was surprised that Ye Chen won first place.
Just kidding, if even a quasi-god-like body can't get first place, then Ye Chen might as well just abandon his cultivation and go home to farm.
Just as everyone was thinking this, Ye Chen's newly acquired first place was directly and arrogantly replaced by Fu Feng.
(I've been busy moving these past few days, so updates have been a bit inconsistent. Sorry, everyone (; ̄ェ ̄) )
