As Yu Kai and his companions journeyed to the Southern Wilds, a piece of news erupted like thunder, sending shockwaves throughout the vast land. From the ordinary cultivators seeking the truth through the streets and alleys to the elite disciples of immortal and demonic sects, each possessing unique skills and attracting much attention, everyone was captivated by the news and engaged in heated discussion.
"Brother, there have been major changes in the Tianjiao Ranking. Have you heard about this?" A thin monk, dressed in a simple gray linen robe, hurriedly approached his companion, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously.
His companion, dressed in a black robe, curled his lips nonchalantly upon hearing this, a hint of disdain on his face. "What's the big deal? If there weren't some minor changes in the Tianjiao Ranking, that would be abnormal! After all, this is the Lingxu Secret Realm, cultivated by the joint efforts of the saints. Who wouldn't want to use this ranking to break into the secret realm and grab the opportunity to change their destiny?"
The lean monk hurriedly shook his head, his eyes gleaming with uncontrollable excitement, as if he had discovered a rare treasure. "No, no, no, this time is completely different from usual. There have been changes in the top twenty of the Tianjiao Ranking!"
"What? Are you sure it's in the top 20?" The black-robed companion's eyes widened suddenly, and his originally nonchalant expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a serious face. His eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if he had heard some fairy tale.
"Absolutely true! It's the top 20!" The lean monk nodded heavily, his tone as firm as steel, leaving no room for doubt.
The black-robed companion turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Hey... where are you going? Why are you running so fast?" The thin monk shouted at the top of his lungs from behind, his voice sounding particularly abrupt in the noisy environment.
"I have to go and see who has made it into the top 20! Is it Zhang Qiming, the little Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple who is extremely talented and can summon thunder from the sky with a wave of his hand, and is feared by everyone? Or is it Lin Niuniu, the cold-blooded saint from the Dark Abyss Demon League, who is cold-faced and ruthless, has strange and unpredictable skills, and acts ruthlessly and decisively? Or is it Murong Shuang, the saint from the Yueling Sect, who is as cold as ice, proficient in the laws of the moon, and is like a fairy from the Moon Palace?" The man ran towards the list in a hurry, shouting at the top of his voice. His voice gradually dissipated in the noisy crowd as he hurried away.
"Don't go! It's pointless!" the skinny monk shouted at the top of his lungs. "The place is completely surrounded. You can't even get in. And your guesses are all wrong. They're not them!"
However, his cries were soon drowned out by the overwhelming noise of the crowd, like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing even a ripple.
Not long after, the black-robed companion came running back, breathless. There were too many people to get in. His face was filled with confusion. "This is really strange. For over fifty years, the top twenty of the Tianjiao Ranking have remained as stable as a rock, unchanged. And if we were to say who has risen the fastest in the rankings over the past fifty years, it would be these three. Every time they show up, their names rise skyward. Could there be a more amazing Tianjiao emerging?"
The lean monk deliberately kept the question a secret, pausing for a long moment before speaking mysteriously, "Yu Kai, have you heard of Yu Kai?"
"Yu Kai?" The black-robed companion frowned, racking his brains to recall. "This name sounds familiar. Don't tell me yet, let me think... Where have I heard it before? Why can't I remember it?"
"The son of the Holy Queen who controls demons, the Holy Prince canonized by the Heavenly Court!" The lean monk lowered his voice, looking around vigilantly, as if afraid of being overheard by someone, and spoke mysteriously.
"Oh! I remember now. He is the Holy Prince who defeated the Heavenly Court three times!" The black-robed companion suddenly realized, and an expression of great surprise appeared on his face. His mouth opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it.
"Yes, it's him." The thin monk nodded with a hint of pride on his face, as if Yu Kai's deeds were his own glory.
"Isn't he trapped in the Misty Forest of Uranus? Back then, the Queen Mother of Demon Control had a great battle with Heaven for this. That scene was so scary, I even thought Heaven couldn't hold on any longer!" The black-robed companion said with lingering fear, lowering his voice to a very low level, fearing that it would be heard by someone with ulterior motives and bring him misfortune. The fear of that battle still lingered in his eyes.
"He's out, and do you know who he's replacing?" the thin man began to play it off again. A large crowd gathered around him, their necks craned like a flock of curious geese, curious to see who Yu Kai would replace when he came out.
"Who?" the black-robed companion asked anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Yang Nianzhen!" The thin man lowered his voice and whispered, as if this was a huge secret.
"What?" Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't help but exclaim in unison. Yang Nianzhen was firmly ranked eleventh on the Tianjiao Ranking, and had been cultivating diligently in the Lingxu Secret Realm for years. His strength should not be underestimated, yet he was defeated just like that!
The ranking rules for the Tianjiao List were simple. As long as one landed the strongest attack on a sub-list or the overall Immortal Realm list, the ranking would be determined based on the records. If one defeated their opponent directly, the Tianjiao List would instantly sense the situation and automatically adjust the ranking. Yu Kai's decapitation of Yang Nianzhen's physical form was a significant achievement that naturally resonated with the Tianjiao List, and Yu Kai was subsequently removed from the eleventh position.
The Lingxu Secret Realm, where the laws of chaos churn endlessly, resembles a mysterious and unfathomable ocean. It is undoubtedly a sacred place for cultivation. Here, cultivators can harness the unique power of the realm's laws, achieving greater results with less effort. Prodigies recognized on the Tianjiao Ranking can communicate with the list through telepathy and, through the list monument, enter the Lingxu Secret Realm from any planet. Of course, gaining the insights of the saints and their treasures is no easy task. Within, there are not only powerful and unbridled demonic beasts, but also numerous dangers and tests meticulously laid out by the saints. A single mistake could result in immediate slaying. However, those slain here will resurrect outside the list monument, but will need to undergo a one-month refrigeration period before being allowed to enter again.
