Following that incredulous voice, the spies from various sects slowly raised their heads with stiff expressions.

As expected, on the ten-foot-high list of geniuses, I saw that name that shone brightly like a star.

[Kong Zhai, late stage of foundation building, ranked second on the Tianjiao list, contribution level 6,100]

On the Tianjiao Ranking, that line of words was so conspicuous, so conspicuous that everyone knew every single word, but when they were put together they felt particularly unfamiliar.

"Kong Zhai, second on the Tianjiao list?"

"What happened? We went to Binggong Hall and saw Kong Zhai's contribution soar by 3,000?!"

"Second on the list of late foundation building geniuses? Cheating, right?"

There are all kinds of reactions.

The biggest suspicion is cheating.

Three thousand contribution points, even if it is to kill an enemy, you have to kill a dragon equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Core! Counting the one thousand contribution points that just increased not long ago, that is to say, Kong Zhai got a full four thousand contribution points in a very short time! Not only did he break the shackles of the foundation-building period that it was difficult to enter the top eighty, he even overwhelmed a group of Golden Cores, second only to Wang Qianjun who went deep into Qingzhou and killed a dragon!

Although Wang Qianjun is a bit arrogant, his combat record is solid and one cannot help but admire him.

But what virtue and ability did Kong Zhai have to allow him to be so high-profile?

"It's the late stage of foundation building, so you just fill it in randomly, right?"

Before questioning the nine major immortal sects' random creation of the Prodigy List, there were still people who had a strong desire to survive and spoke cautiously.

"It should be filled randomly. I think Kong Zhai's real strength must be at least Jindan, not ordinary Jindan. Otherwise, even if he is investigating the power of the Dragon Clan, how far can he investigate with a mere foundation building? If he goes too deep and is scanned by the divine consciousness, he will die!"

The registration this time is not strict. As long as one is a human cultivator, he or she will report his or her own strength. There is no guarantee that some people will not deliberately report a lower strength to attract attention.

After all, being ranked second on the list of geniuses by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and being ranked second on the list of geniuses by a Jindan cultivator are completely different concepts.

Everyone can accept the latter, but it is completely incomprehensible how the former is achieved.

"So, Kong Zhai should be the same kind of person as Wang Qianjun. They are crazy about becoming famous, and they are trying to attract attention in this way. Even if they become famous temporarily, what good will it do? It is not the way of the strong to simply let people despise them."

Some people immediately began to criticize this false reporting.

The discussion among these people also attracted more monks to watch.

After all, it’s hard not to see such a huge list of geniuses.

What's more, being in the top three is already the focus of many people. Ranking in the dozens may be ignored for the time being, but as long as you are in the top three, the attention you get will be on a different level.

Amid the increasingly heated discussion, a cultivator who wanted to join in the fun came over and exclaimed, "A cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage ranked second on the Tianjiao list? Whose once-in-a-lifetime Tianjiao is this?"

"Kong Zhai, why does this name sound familiar?"

As more and more cultivators gathered around the Tianjiao List, Kong Zhai became the center of discussion, and his contribution was worth it.

"I remember now. Kong Zhai, isn't that the person who broke through to the late foundation building stage on the spot after hearing Saint Luo's piano music during the Xia Dynasty's Immortal Cultivation Feast?"

Amid the heated discussion, someone finally found some clues about Kong Zhai. With so many cultivators gathered here, there must be someone who had witnessed the feast of immortal cultivation.

There were some memorable things that Kong Zhai did at the Immortal Cultivation Banquet, so it was not difficult to recall them now.

"In other words, Kong Zhai is really only in the late stage of foundation building?"

Instead of extinguishing the heated atmosphere, these words seemed to add fuel to the fire. For a moment, countless people gasped.

Bro, are you serious?

In the late stage of foundation building, second on the list of geniuses, right?

This can be described as amazing. The Tianjiao Ranking has been around for too short a time, and many powerful people have not had time to show their strength. What else can you ask for when you can suppress so many Jindan in the late stage of foundation building? It's a great profit to suppress them once!

Why don't other foundation-building monks do this? Don't they want to?

You know I don't have that ability! "How could someone in the late stage of foundation building get more than 6,000 contribution points so quickly? Could it be that Kong Zhai has already broken through to the golden elixir stage?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! It has only been a few months since the Xia Dynasty's Immortal Cultivation Feast, and at that time Kong Zhai had just broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

In just a few months, he was promoted from the late foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage again? Kong Zhai can't be the reincarnation of the spirit!"

After a few words, everyone quickly concluded that unless there was something extremely strange, Kong Zhai's strength was definitely not at the Golden Core level, not even if he had a natural spiritual root.

There are rules to follow when cultivating immortals, and those present are not without golden elixirs. They know very well that the process of building a foundation and advancing to golden elixir is not as simple as practicing Qi and advancing to foundation building. They only need to complete the steps of transforming spiritual energy into liquid and return it to the sea of ​​Qi for stable operation.

It can take several years or even decades to break through from the foundation-building stage to the golden elixir stage, and there is no guarantee that one will be able to successfully advance!

From this, it can be inferred that the cultivation level reported by Kong Zhai should be true, and he is really in the late stage of foundation building.

"We just came back from Binggong Hall, and Kong Zhai was not there."

Someone among the group of people who came back suddenly said.

"In other words, his sudden increase in contribution was not due to killing the enemy, but due to the reward for finding out intelligence?"

Someone immediately realized what he meant.

Killing an enemy still needs to be verified by the Justice Hall, but the reward for obtaining intelligence will be paid immediately without delay.

"So, Kong Zhai is still in Qingzhou, or even in the heartland of the dragon clan?"

"The contribution points increased by 4,000 points in one go. What did he find? Even if he encountered the Dragon King, he would not be able to get such a high contribution point, unless he encountered the Dragon King's Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally heated discussion among the crowd froze.

Dragon Emperor.

Equivalent to the human race's Nascent Soul Master.

In the late stage of foundation building, I met a Yuanying Venerable. Well, the contribution was indeed added.

The question is, will Kong Zhai have another chance to use it in this life?

Below the Tianjiao Ranking, everyone fell silent, and their original expressions of disbelief began to change.

Most of them are feelings of regret and lament.

"Alas, Kong Zhai is quite a character to be able to reach the second place on the Tianjiao list in such a short time."

"Yes, in the late stage of foundation building, being able to achieve this level is enough to shine for a while."

"Unfortunately, opportunities always come with risks. Gathering intelligence may seem like it doesn't require combat power, but how can the risks be small? This is not something that can be done with courage alone."

The wind direction changed suddenly.

The atmosphere that originally praised Kong Zhai as a genius suddenly turned into a memorial service.

Four thousand contribution points.

If I hadn't met the Dragon Emperor, I wouldn't have been able to give so much.

If you encounter the Dragon Emperor in the late stage of foundation building, who will die if not you?

You can't expect the Dragon Emperor to take a nap without being noticed, right?

It would be better to expect that he encountered two seriously injured demon kings and killed them easily!

Although both are great luck, the latter one at least makes people feel a little bit real, while the former one is unthinkable.

"I don't know if Kong Zhai left any contacts before he left."

Someone said this.

A human cultivator who is confirmed dead but still has contribution points will eventually transfer these contribution points to his sect, or his relatives and friends based on the information left behind.

In this regard, the Immortal Sect Alliance is still very humane. After all, the battlefield is blind to immortal arts, and who knows who might die there. We can't let future generations feel disappointed, right? Even if the corpse cannot be recovered, the contribution points must be paid in full, and they will not be deducted directly.

More than 6,000 contribution points is not too much, but not too little either. It can be exchanged for a very good golden elixir technique, and there will be some left over.

Perhaps this is why Kong Zhai worked so hard. Opportunities are rare, and if he doesn't fight for them now, it will be too late to regret once he misses them.

It’s a pity that the contribution points were obtained, and it was worthy of the risk of seeking wealth and honor, but I’m afraid there will be no chance to come back.

No one thought that Kong Zhai could discover the Dragon Emperor, but the Dragon Emperor could not discover him.

In an instant, when everyone looked at the shining name ranked second on the Tianjiao List, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Isn't it just a pity?

While many monks here were feeling complicated, Gu Dan's mood was also quite complicated.

Qingzhou.

The heartland of the dragon clan.

Just as those cultivators thought, Gu Dan had indeed entered the heartland of the dragon clan.

The originally lush vegetation and forests are no longer visible.

Because this place has become a vast swamp!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It is truly a swamp in every sense of the word.

Fertile fields, mountains and forests, as well as villages and cities, have all turned into ruins under the water.

For a long time, whenever Gu Dan heard many cultivators talk about the dragon clan, they would mention that the dragon clan was born with the ability to control the clouds and rain.

But only by truly going deep into the heart of the dragon clan can you understand the meaning behind this sentence and what it really means.

The environment that was originally suitable for human beings turned into a vast ocean.

Like a flat land flooding the sea.

There is no trace of mortals here.

Millions and billions of people have already been buried in the endless water, and not even a splash of water can be created.

Compared with the competition between the great powers, the people who died here were as ridiculous as children playing around and not worth mentioning.

The water that overturned the boat is the tears of the common people, nothing more than that.

In comparison, the collapse of the sky and the earth caused by the sudden changes in heaven and earth seemed so merciful - at least there were still many survivors at that time.

Gu Dan was like a quiet rock, sinking silently to the bottom of the water. His slightly cold eyes were watching the various monsters swaying by the water.

Occasionally, a few huge dragons would frolic by, and their thick tails would sweep across, inadvertently pulling down houses at the bottom of the river that had not yet completely collapsed.

Further ahead, a group of bizarre monsters were also busy building a massive Dragon Palace under the water to serve as the residence of the Dragon King.

Gu Dan was currently living under the water, his breath completely blocked, he stood still, watching everything coldly.

In his perception, the surroundings were filled with all kinds of extremely restless atmosphere.

That kind of atmosphere naturally fills people's hearts with annoyance, and even makes them feel violent.

To use a common expression among monks: there is an evil spirit here.

Moreover, the demonic energy is so strong and intense that it is enough to affect the cultivator's own mental state.

Only when you really get to this point can you truly understand what it means that humans and demons cannot coexist.

It's not just the scramble for resources, but the differences in environmental suitability that are the biggest offense.

The atmosphere that makes the demons feel comfortable is intolerable to the human race.

The atmosphere is unbearable even for monks. Ordinary people will go crazy if they stay here within two days.

Oh no, there are no ordinary people here anymore.

As the undercurrent surged, a thin piece of leg bone floated past Gu Dan's eyes, with some fragments left on it after being eaten by fish and shrimp.

There are many such skeletons at the bottom of the water, too many to count.

Throughout the ages, countless wronged souls are sighing and lamenting.

Looking into the empty space, the world is endless and filled with sorrow and resentment.

The weeping blood insects laugh at the sky, the lonely sail’s shadow is locked by the white chain.

The waning moon rose, and suddenly a strong wind blew away everything.

Heavy rain, bottomless ravine.

Gu Dan has always been on guard against immortals, and even felt that those guys were the real masterminds behind the scenes.

But if you go to the demon tribe's land and take a look, it is not difficult to find where the real enemy is.

The fight between people may be extremely cruel, but there is still some hope.

Only here, life and death are so vivid.

We can no longer go forward as we are already in the heartland of the dragon clan. Although the White Lotus Sky-covering Technique is useful, the water is after all the dragon clan's home turf.

When the water ripples, it is inevitable that it will cause some ripples. The faster the speed, the more it will cause ripples, making it even more inconvenient to move.

Being able to discover a Dragon Emperor's palace that was still under construction was already the limit. The number of dragons and monsters swimming around in front of them was increasing.

Once you are exposed here, you will be besieged in an instant, and you might even attract the Dragon King. It will be impossible to escape then.

Exploring to this extent has already made a great contribution to the human race.

It's time to go back.

Without making a sound or taking any action, Gu Dan turned around in the water, like a floating seaweed, and slowly retreated in the direction he came from.

After witnessing everything with his own eyes, he no longer had much mood to continue wandering around.

Go back and rest for a while, use the contribution points to exchange for some suitable things, and then let the dragon clan pay for their blood debt with blood.

The journey was slow and relaxing, but when returning, Gu was filled with worry and a heavy heart.

I even couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that the Dragon Clan chose Qingzhou as the place. If it was the location of the Xia Dynasty, how could they resist it?

The mountain of the times is pressing down on you. Without enough strength, you will be crushed into dust.

Thinking about the Meteoric River a hundred years from now, it will probably be even more cruel than what we see today.

How difficult is it to save the people? While thinking, Gu Dan was gradually approaching Dingwei City.

At the front line some distance away from Dingwei City, Gu Dan heard an elder counseling the younger generation of the sect, saying, "When killing the enemy this time, be careful not to be greedy. Think about Kong Zhai, who ranked second on the Tianjiao list with his foundation-building strength. How glorious it was, but he still ended up dead.

Although Fugui was seeking his fortune in danger, he had to stay alive to get everything, right? You should learn from his lesson and don't be blinded by your contribution."

"Yes, I will keep it in mind. Master, you don't need to worry."

Gu Dan who was passing by: “?!”

Is Kong Zhai dead?

How could I not know? I stopped walking, landed, and asked a few questions out of curiosity.

After learning the whole story from the monk, and knowing the disturbance caused by the name "Kong Zhai" in the Tianjiao List, I felt both amused and sad.

When Gu Dan returned to Dingwei City, which had been almost completed, he went to the Tianjiao List without saying a word.

As expected, I saw a group of people there commenting on the Tianjiao List.

After squeezing in without any courtesy, Gu Dan said with a dark face: "I heard from others that you are shouting everywhere that I am dead?" (End of this chapter)
