Chapter 523: First on the Heavenly Ranking
The Taotie Beast completely shirked its responsibility: "In the final analysis, it's the survival of the fittest, that's the truth. It's just that we monsters happen to eat humans."
Ye Xiaoman lowered the tip of her sword from the Taotie beast's neck. She stroked her chin, pondered its words, and smiled again, "You have a point."
The Taotie Beast breathed a sigh of relief. "You are indeed not an ordinary person. It's great that you can understand me."
It moved its knees forward and knelt closer to Ye Xiaoman, feeling smug that it had fooled her with its sweet words.
Haha, aren't humans known for being the most compassionate and helpful people? Especially these female cultivators, who have the softest hearts.
It begged with tears in its eyes: "If you only let me go, I will change my ways and never eat humans again."
It shouted to Jiaying behind Ye Xiaoman, "Sir Saint, you are right, right? The Buddha said, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.' From now on, every time I do a good deed, everyone will know that it is the reward for your good fortune."
Zhu Chuideng shook his head when he saw this. Ye Xiaoman was still too inexperienced. He was about to step forward when suddenly a sword flashed by, causing his pupils to shrink.
Ye Xiaoman's voice was clear and distinct, reaching everyone's ears. "Since the law of the jungle doesn't make sense, then since I'm stronger this time, I'll just do whatever I want."
The hope in the glutton's eyes instantly vanished, turning into despair. Because it had once been filled with hope, the despair was even more complete, just like the villagers it had trapped and devoured one by one.
Ye Xiaoman swung her sword, and the Taotie beast's head and body were separated and it fell to the ground.
Two rays of spiritual light shot out from the monster's body, which were half of the cultivation of Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui.
Since the Taotie beast was dead, the transaction for the incense burner could not be completed at all, so the reward was returned to the original place and given back to Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng.
Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui's energy surged, returning to their original cultivation levels.
Zhu Chuideng sighed, "I never thought that I would have to rely on the little girl's help in the end."
Jing Zhui's eyes gradually regained clarity, the Taotie beast's spell disappeared, his mind finally cleared up, and he transformed back to his original appearance using the form of a teenager.
He first looked at Ye Xiaoman, and then there was a long pause, as if he couldn't believe the stupid thing he had done.
Kunlun Holy Land.
The Heavenly List is towering into the clouds.
The Heavenly Ranking is majestic and solemn, its staggered carvings radiant and beautiful, a rare sight in the world. Standing here since the dawn of time, the Heavenly Ranking constantly tallies the honors of every cultivator, inscribing the names of the most exceptional cultivators onto the list, displaying them on the stele for public viewing.
Only the monks with great reputation have the opportunity to have their names listed on the Heavenly Ranking.
Whether it is the ranking of the Dao Ancestors in the six realms, the ranking of the disciples of the major sects, or the potential ranking of the young geniuses, the Heavenly Ranking will be the standard.
Once a cultivator is on the Heavenly Ranking, it means that his strength has been stamped with authority. Whether he wants to defeat his fellow disciples to seize the position of the head of a sect, or wants to become a disciple of the Taoist master of a famous sect, he will be given a green light all the way.
Therefore, all monks strive their entire lives just to get a chance to be on the Heavenly Ranking.
Today, the Heavenly Ranking, which has remained almost unchanged for nearly ten years, suddenly underwent a major update.
Colorful auspicious clouds were flying at the top of the Sky Pillar, and thousands of auspicious clouds were descending.
The immortal official guarding the list quickly raised his head.
The name "Ye Xiaoman" skipped over the people in front of her and soared from millions of places to the top at the speed of light.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, so he's a rising star who got a big opportunity and improved his ranking a lot. What a lucky guy."
"From obscurity all the way to number 1,000 on the Centennial List? Not bad."
"Not only that! Look, the ranking is still soaring."
"The 501st... the 430th... the 100th... it hasn't stopped yet, it hasn't stopped yet!"
More and more immortal officials gathered under the Heavenly Ranking. They all looked up and read out Ye Xiaoman's rising ranking in unison.
"30th, 29th... 18th..."
“First place!”
"Oh my god, what's going on!"
"In the past hundred years, no, in the past thousand years, I've never seen such a rapid rise in rankings!"
"Even the Fairy Nishang, the Immortal Master Yuyi, the Twelve Dao Saints, and the founders of the nine major sects, even though they were exceptionally talented, all of them climbed up the Heavenly Ranking slowly and steadily."
"Look at what earth-shaking achievements this rising star named 'Ye Xiaoman' has accomplished."
The Tianbang has truthfully recorded Ye Xiaoman’s achievements.
[Name: Ye Xiaoman]
[Cultivation: Great Perfection of Qi Refining]
[Affiliation: Inner disciple of the Qing Zhengzong Sect]
[Achievement: Kill a Taotie beast with a lifespan of over 3,000 years in the Yellow Springs Ferry in the Ghost Realm]
"Killing a 3,000-year-old ancient beast at the Qi Refining stage?"
"Oh my God, this is really, this is really..."
"Amazing news for the ages!"
The world of cultivation was in turmoil.
The world is pure and authentic.
The sect leader and the nine elders walked out of the cave amid the cheers of their disciples.
"The Heavenly Ranking has been announced to the world!"
A corner of the majestic Heavenly Monument is revealed among the clouds in the sky.
"Number one on the Centennial Ranking, top 20,000 on the overall ranking."
Elder Tang laughed proudly: "As expected of you, you are the Master of the Nameless Sword."
"The people haven't been rescued from the ghost world yet," Elder Jiang said worriedly, turning back suddenly, "Where's the sect leader?"
In the distance, only the small black dot of the sect leader was left as he flew away on his sword.
"The Sect Master couldn't wait to go out and show off to his old friends from other sects."
Divine realm.
On the busy street, monks stopped and looked up at the sky in surprise.
"Ye Xiaoman again?"
"How many more legends will she create before she stops?"
"Alas, the highest ranking my dynasty ever achieved on the Centennial Heavenly Ranking was only 100th. It caused a sensation throughout the region at the time, and the late emperor even summoned us."
"First place, tsk, this guy's tail is going to be all the way to the sky."
"The top 20,000 on the overall rankings, doesn't that mean all those ahead of her are still alive great cultivators and ancestors from various realms?"
"The scary thing is, she's only just reached adulthood, with a lifespan of only double digits. Those who made it onto the overall rankings all lived for hundreds or even thousands of years."
"Su Lingzhen was promoted to 10,000th place on the Centennial Ranking, and the Prime Minister's Mansion even threw a three-day and three-night banquet to celebrate."
At the door of the restaurant, Su Lingzhen withdrew his gaze from the sky, turned around and left without saying a word.
My companion shouted behind me.
"Hey, Su Lingzhen, where are you going?"
"Stop shouting! She's definitely going back to practice again. The latest record is seven days and seven nights without closing her eyes."
"Oh, it took a lot of effort to get her out to drink."
The devil's world, the devil's cave.
The young demons gathered in the martial arts training ground, staring at the sky with a common hatred.
The great elder supervising the battle was on high alert.
She waved her hand.
"This person must be my number one opponent in the battle of the six realms of the demon clan's genius."
"My Demon Realm has won three consecutive victories, all thanks to its powerful intelligence capabilities."
"Within half an hour, I want all her information."
"Starting today, we will conduct special training for her."
