In the past half a year, the Bound of Universe could be said to be turbulent.
The information that He Buyu, Shi Qingshan, and the others had told Yun Yang was insignificant. After all, they were in the battlefield of the Bloody Soul Mountain, so it was inevitable that the news was blocked. Moreover, what they were interested in during this period of time was only related to Yun Yang and the Residence of Nine Supremes. They only knew about the recent situation of the Residence of Nine Supremes and the sudden rise of the Ninth Supremes.
The veteran Celestial Luck Banners were quietly accumulating their strength, while the new sects were forging ahead with indomitable will.
The martial world of the Bound of Universe had suddenly become lively.
Many of the young disciples of high-grade sects went out to train, fight for treasures, enter dense forests, climb snowy mountains, dive into abysses, and explore ruins. The world of martial artists was colorful, and the newcomers who stood out from the crowd were a feast for the eyes.
Therefore, a ranking was born for something that was special but not special, cliché but not cliché! The ranking list!
And it was not just one ranking. There was the "Bound of Universe List", the top ten, the top twenty, the top thirty …
The Bound of Universe Earth List … The Bound of Universe Heaven List … The Bound of Universe Emperor List …
The Bound of Universe Ten Beauties!
The Bound of Universe Ten Rookies!
The Bound of Universe Ten Famed Swords!
The Bound of Universe Ten Sabermen!
The Bound of Universe Ten Assassins!
The Bound of Universe Ten Elites …
Naturally, there was no lack of people behind the scenes adding fuel to the fire. The starting point of the turbulence was probably the Demonic Palace of the Northern Wasteland. Then, it gradually spread to the Western Holy Palace. After that … it was carried forward by the Eastern Celestial Palace. In short, all four realms were involved, and there was nothing they couldn't do!
It was said that an extraordinary person who looked like an immortal had appeared in the Northern Wasteland Demonic Palace. He was the newly famous military counselor of the Ninth Supremes, and this person's name was especially awesome. He was called Heaven's Inquisition!
His name was Heaven's Inquisition, and his nickname was Heaven's Inquisition.
"What doubt is there in Heaven? Come and ask me! "
Was it not domineering?
This Heaven's Inquisition wasn't a person with an undeserved reputation. He was truly omniscient and knowledgeable about the information of all the heroes in the world. With this as the foundation, other than the Jianghu ranking, Heaven's Inquisition also created a "Mysterious Yellow Apex Combat Power Ranking".
Among them, it was a ranking of the pinnacle combat strength of the Bound of Universe. Not only were the Palace Masters of the East Celestial Palace, the Palace Masters of the North Wasteland Devil Palace, and the Palace Masters of the West Heaven Holy Palace all included in the list. Even the reclusive cultivators of the three palaces who had been living in seclusion for a long time were ranked as well!
All in all, there were a hundred people lined up in a row.
It was also said that … after seeing the ranking list, the Palace Master of the Eastern Celestial Palace smiled and didn't say a word. As for the other Saint Sovereigns, they also didn't say a word after seeing it, as if tacitly agreeing.
This kind of attitude … at the very least, he didn't verbally oppose this ranking. In fact, it was a kind of tacit approval!
Except for some experts who were clamoring, "How could that so-and-so compare to that so-and-so … Why is his ranking higher than him?"
Apart from these movements, none of the parties involved made a sound!
This result, of course, shocked the whole world!
And Heaven's Inquisition didn't stop there. What followed was an even more shocking list that could even shock the whole Bound of Universe — the Xuan Demon List!
There were a total of ten names on this list!
However, each of these ten names was enough to shock the world and shake people's hearts!
In the first place: Invincible in the world, Imperial Dragon Emperor; Demons bow to him, number one in the world!
In the second place: Nirvana Flame, Supreme of the Phoenix Clan; Wind and clouds in the palm, Heaven and Earth in the heart!
These were the two strongest experts recognized by the world. They both belonged to the demon race, Demon Emperor Long Yutian and Phoenix Emperor!
No one would have thought that when Heaven's Inquisition ranked the top ten experts in the world, he would directly take the top two spots of the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Emperor!
Wasn't this too daring?
Wasn't this too inflating his demon's morale and destroying his own spirit?!
However, this was the truth. This was something that the experts of the Bound of Universe had already confirmed long ago. Therefore, it wasn't criticized!
And the third place finally belonged to the experts of the human race.
Heaven Sword Alchemy Book, the master of the Eastern Celestial Palace; Cloud Dragon and Wind Tiger while talking and laughing. It was the Palace Master of the Eastern Celestial Palace.
…
This ranking of the Xuan Demon List made all the cultivators of the Bound of Universe feel heavy.
The high and mighty Demon Emperors of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan were like two unshakable mountains. People couldn't help but think: If a war really broke out, who would deal with these two Demon Emperors?
But worry was worry, it was still a distant worry. Moreover, even if that day really came, it wouldn't be the turn of the people below them to interfere. Therefore, what ordinary cultivators discussed the most were the other lists. The top ten swordsmen, top ten sabersmen, and the List of Men! The List of Earth! The List of Heaven! The List of Imperial Emperors! Just the sound of these rankings made people feel that they were high and mighty!
If one wanted to enter the List of Men, it would be an extravagant hope if one didn't have the cultivation base of a Saint. Moreover, the age limit for entering the List could not be more than a hundred years old. If one exceeded this age limit, it was inevitable that he would be labeled as too weak and have no future!
Even if one's combat strength was higher than that of those on the List and won the battle, being unqualified was still unqualified. There was no other way to explain it, and one would still not be able to enter the List of Men.
Of course, the most important thing was that most of the Saint cultivators over a hundred years old had little chance of gaining the upper hand when fighting against a young Saint. If they tried their best, they would only be humiliating themselves and exposing their own inadequacies.
The List of Earth was above Saint King.
The List of Heaven was above Saint Emperor.
The List of Emperor was above Saint Venerable.
Above that was the List of Pinnacle Combat Strength and the Xuan Demon List. These lists could basically reflect the overall strength of the Bound of Universe in the past hundred years, as well as its future development!
Although the List of Combat Strength was highly sought after, it was still the List of Top Ten Beauties that received the most attention and praise!
It was unknown if the Military Advisor of the Ninth Residence of Supremes harbored selfish motives, but for some unknown reason, the list that he came up with not only had the people of the Ninth Residence of Supremes' names on the list, but their positions were also quite high.
First among the Top Ten Beauties: Devastatingly beautiful, peerlessly beautiful; the rotation of heaven and earth, clears one's heart. Leader of the Ninth Residence of Supremes, Ji Lingxi!
Second among the Top Ten Beauties: Sonorous Rose, Female Beauty; Thousands of Enchanting Beauties, I am Shangguan. Leader of the Ninth Residence of Supremes, Shangguan Lingxiu.
Third among the Top Ten Beauties: Beauty in Western Heaven, Saint Palace is the best; Beauty in Heaven, Unparalleled on Earth; Lian Fangfei of Saint Palace of Western Heaven.
Following them were the famous beauties of other sects. The entire Bound of Universe was filled with doubtful voices, but Heaven's Inquisition's attitude was unusually firm, saying that it would rank the list as it was and that it could do whatever it wanted!
By the way, there were also a few young beauties among the Top Ten Beauties. The first one was the second-generation disciple of the Residence of Nine Supremes, Yun Xiuxin, and the little girl's ranking was not low either, at seventh place.
Below Yun Xiuxin were Lin Xiaorou, who ranked eighth, and Cheng Jiajia, who was about to enter the Top Ten!
This ranking had aroused the dissatisfaction of countless people, who were complaining that Heaven's Inquisition was a lolicon. Yun Xiuxin, Lin Xiaorou, and Cheng Jiajia were all little girls who were not even sixteen years old. What right did they have to be ranked in the Top Ten and receive such high praise?
Skin of ice and bones of jade, ethereal among the clouds; beauty of peerless beauty, exquisite heart, Qiongxiu Fairy, Yun Xiuxin.
Deep Orchid Valley, fragrance wafting in the air; chivalrous bones, soft heart, soft and strong at the same time; Orchid Fairy, Lin Xiaorou.
And that Cheng Jiajia, three disciples from one sect were selected. If this was not shady, what was it? Have you seen what the female disciples of other sects look like?
Well, whether or not Heaven's Inquisition's ranking was shady was a matter of opinion. However, the second-generation disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes, including Bai Yexing, Lu Changman, and Hu Xiaofan, had all made it into the Earth Ranking, and many of the other disciples were also in the Human Ranking.
All of this was achieved with real combat strength. Very few people would question this, but this was something that could not be faked!
Apart from the Beauty Ranking and the Combat Ranking, the rest of the Rankings also had their own rankings.
The second Supreme Lord of the Residence of Nine Supremes, the Tri-Autumn Swordsman, Shi Wuchen, ranked third in the Top Ten Swordsmen Ranking. It was said that since this big shot came out of seclusion two months ago, his sword energy had soared to the sky, spanning three thousand miles, and his cultivation base had soared to the level of Supreme Lord. Ten thousand miles with one step was not enough to describe his progress; it was as if he was about to ascend to heaven. Now, he was truly the number one guardian of the Residence of Nine Supremes!
Among the Top Ten Swordsmen, Luo Dajiang was on the list.
And among the Top Ten Rising Stars, the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes occupied seven spots!
This share was a little high, and it was simply shocking to everyone in the world!
What was going on with the Residence of Nine Supremes that had appeared out of nowhere and the Residence of Ninth Supremes that followed?
The martial world of the Bound of Universe, which had been silent for a long time like a pool of stagnant water, was in turmoil for these rankings that had appeared out of nowhere. All kinds of challenges came one after another like mushrooms after the rain.
Letters of challenge flew everywhere!
If one were to describe it in one word, it would be … the entire martial world had suddenly 'come alive'!
Just four months ago, Yu Chenghang, the disciple of the Third Supreme Lord of the Residence of Nine Supremes, Luo Dajiang, had come to the Phoenix Cry Sect alone with a sword and challenged Qi Lie, the chief disciple of the sect. In this challenge that no one was optimistic about, he had killed Qi Lie with only three strikes of his saber. It was clean and simple.
In the entire Phoenix Cry Sect, no one said anything after that. They could only sigh.
Qi Lie's current outcome was originally the result of the evil he had sown. The Phoenix Cry Sect had long come to a consensus on the matter of Luo Dajiang's disciple coming to seek revenge. If it were them, they would also stand up for their master and challenge Qi Lie!
However, no one had expected that the challenge would come so early, end so quickly, and that Qi Lie would be defeated so miserably!
Speaking of which, the two sects had a close friendship and were even related by marriage, but no one would say anything about such an irreconcilable grudge. The higher-ups of the Phoenix Cry Sect had specially informed all the sects about this matter: this was a personal grudge between Qi Lie, Luo Dajiang, and his disciples, and had nothing to do with the Phoenix Cry Sect itself. Of course, if there were people who thought they were on good terms with Qi Lie, or the juniors of the Phoenix Cry Sect who wanted to avenge Qi Lie, they could also go to Yu Chenghang. The Residence of Nine Supremes would not interfere, and it would not damage the friendship between the two sects.
Strictly speaking, this rule was not strictly formulated. If it was used by someone with ulterior motives, it was very likely to become the root of a disaster that would trigger an endless war of revenge. Unfortunately, from the top to the bottom of the Phoenix Cry Sect, no one, whether it was the sect's higher-ups or the juniors, had the intention to stand up for him.
Qi Lie had always been arrogant, and he was used to calling himself the future leader of the Phoenix Cry Sect. This alone was already extremely displeasing. In addition to the fact that he regarded Jiang Luoluo as his exclusive property, he was despised by everyone. Few people in the entire Phoenix Cry Sect liked him. Revenge? What revenge?
How shameful it would be to be killed by the disciple of his rival in love …
The resources in the Residence of Nine Supremes are so good, and I want to find a chance to cultivate there for a few days …
The senior and junior sisters of the Residence of Nine Supremes are all beautiful and charming, and I like them very much. I can't even get close to them, but I want to become enemies with them?
Do you think we're stupid to offend the Residence of Nine Supremes for a bastard like Qi Lie?
Moreover, even if there were one or two who felt that the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes had disrespected the Phoenix Cry Sect by killing Qi Lie with three strikes, they had to first weigh their own abilities and see if they could pick a fight and take revenge!
Before Yun Yang went to the Realm of Demons, the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes had already begun to send their disciples out to gain experience. Today, the number of disciples who could travel the martial world independently to gain experience was about to exceed a thousand!
The cultivation base of the eight peak masters and two chief executives of the Residence of Nine Supremes, the original Demiurge-Flawed Ten, had soared by leaps and bounds. Among the ten, three had broken through to the level of Supreme Saint, and the remaining seven were all at the peak of fourth-grade Saint Emperor!
Such a comprehensive strength had far surpassed that of the Phoenix Cry Sect, the top sect of the middle-class Celestial Luck Banner!
The reality stunned Ping Zhenyue, Gan Tianyan, and the other higher-ups of the Phoenix Cry Sect!
In the previous Celestial Luck Banner battle, they had defeated the Jade Cauldron Sect, which was knocked down to the last place by the General Commerce League. Now, they had established a friendly relationship with the Residence of Nine Supremes and obtained a large number of excellent disciples. They felt that they could definitely go further in the next Celestial Luck Banner battle, and there was no doubt that they would be able to win the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner!
However, the comprehensive strength of the Residence of Nine Supremes had soared to such a level in just a short period of time. It was really unimaginable!
The Residence of Nine Supremes was like a behemoth, growing rapidly like a rolling snowball!
Such a trend was unstoppable and unstoppable!
Moreover, this progress was only on the surface of the current manpower left in the Residence of Nine Supremes. It should not be forgotten that the Residence of Nine Supremes still had the most unpredictable and mysterious Head Supreme of the Residence of Nine Supremes, Yun Yang.
This Head Supreme had not shown up for more than half a year. When the other higher-ups of the Residence of Nine Supremes were making great strides, they believed that he would not slack off either. His cultivation base and strength would only improve to a higher level!
Everyone still remembered that when he had just left the Residence of Nine Supremes, the Celestial Luck Banner had changed dramatically because of him!
It was a phenomenon that could only happen when a Supreme Saint appeared!
In other words, this Sect Leader Yun had already attained the cultivation base of a Supreme Saint half a year ago. Now that he was nowhere to be found, no one would underestimate this Lord Supreme Cloud even if there was no news of him. After all, no one knew what level his cultivation base had reached!
Of course, the outside world was more curious about this leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes, but the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes missed him very much.
He had disappeared so abruptly, and no one knew where he had gone …
Among them, the ones who missed him the most were the junior disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
During one of Bai Yexing's challenges, someone had said, "The Residence of Nine Supremes is quite prosperous, but it's a pity that its leader is missing. Maybe he's dead. The Residence of Nine Supremes will fall into a leaderless state and will not last long …"
Because of this remark, Bai Yexing flew into a rage and went on a killing spree!
The entire mountaintop where the incident took place was almost dyed red.
It was also because of this battle that many people knew that these disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes were still concealing their true strength.
As time went by, there was still no news of Yun Yang. Finally, the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes began to panic.
What had happened? Why had he disappeared for such a long time?
Many female disciples even secretly cried a few times.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the Residence of Nine Supremes grew more and more oppressive. The most obvious manifestation of this was the violence they unleashed when they roamed the martial world. It was much, much more violent than before. Even Lin Xiaorou, who was the most indifferent, had gone on a killing spree with bloodshot eyes just because someone had said that Yun Yang might already be dead.
This kind of oppression had been going on, and it had never been relieved.
It had been going on since the third month after Yun Yang left until now.
On this day, the Bound of Universe suddenly saw heavy snow!
It wasn't all that rare for snow to fall all over the place. However, what was truly rare was the fact that it was snowing heavily on this day. This snowstorm was happening throughout the entire Xuanhuang World. Following that, everyone realized that this snowfall was much heavier and fiercer than any previous snowfall in the past!
It lasted for a whole day and night!
The entire Bound of Universe, thousands of miles of territory, was covered in snow. The mountains danced like silver snakes, and the plains were like wax elephants.
It was also on this day that the entire Bound of Universe, regardless of region or territory, suddenly rang with the sound of a bell!
The bell rang leisurely. It did not sound very loud at first, but it was this sound that everyone in the Bound of Universe, every living being, heard it!
The bell seemed to come from the heart, filled with a sense of tranquility and peace!
"This is … the Divine Heavenly Melody!"
Countless old fellows in the Bound of Universe who were qualified to know this kind of bell were shocked!
The Divine Heavenly Melody had only appeared twice in the history of the Bound of Universe.
Only great people who had contributed greatly to the Bound of Universe could receive the Divine Heavenly Melody, and it would be announced to the world and spread throughout the Bound of Universe!
There was one time when the Bloody Soul Pass suddenly descended from the sky, and the few Bound of Universe experts who were stationed at the pass perished on the spot.
When the pass was opened, countless demons swarmed in through the gap. At that critical juncture, the Bound of Universe pinnacle Saint King who was stationed at the foot of the pass was left alone.
He did not care about his own life, withstanding the might of the heaven and earth thunder, burning his soul and spirit, and fought with all his might for three days and three nights. Countless demons were blocked outside the gap of the Blood Soul Mouth, and they only fell when reinforcements arrived.
As the human reinforcements arrived, the Saint King could not hold on any longer. He perished immediately, without any signs of life remaining.
This Saint King could not hold on any longer, but he held on with his last breath. When the reinforcements arrived, he did not even say a word before he turned into dust and disappeared!
And the so-called "without any signs of life" referred to the fact that there were no signs of life left. It should be known that not only were the physical bodies of Saint Kings almost indestructible, their spirits were so strong that ordinary cultivators could not imagine them. If not for that, how could they possess others so easily? As long as it was a cultivator who had reached the level of Saint King, other than the physical body and spirit, there was still a bit of Primordial Spirit remaining. Even if their physical body and spirit were destroyed by a stronger opponent, as long as a bit of Primordial Spirit remained, there was still a chance for them to start over!
Just like how the Great Elder of the Fox clan had fought against the Phoenix Monarch previously, the Great Elder of the Fox clan had not been a match for the Phoenix Monarch. If it had not been for the Fox Monarch's assistance, he would have definitely perished at the Phoenix Monarch's hands. However, even if his spirit had been destroyed, a bit of his Primordial Spirit might still have remained.
Just like how Tuntun and the other two Elders of the Fox Clan had ambushed the Twelve Dragon Guards previously because they were afraid that they could not kill the Twelve Dragon Guards. However, Tuntun and the two Elders had succeeded in their ambush, destroying the physical bodies of six Dragon Guards in an instant. Then, the Catnip and Catnip sisters had joined hands to annihilate the Dragon Guards' spirits to their limits. Finally, Yun Yang had wrapped things up. This was the extent of killing the Twelve Dragon Guards without any signs of life!
Therefore, if one wanted to force a Saint Monarch expert to the point of no longer having any life force in a normal battle, unless the person involved insisted on not withdrawing, it was almost impossible!
The Saint King of the human race who had fought to the point of death was called Zhou Chenlei.
On that day, the three heavenly palaces played the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path for him. When Yin and Yang separated, the Bound of Universe thundered. His heroic deeds were sung to the entire world!
In another story of the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path, the Bound of Universe was suddenly struck by an apocalyptic plague. Strange black spots appeared on the bodies of countless people. Once these spots appeared, they could not be stopped. Their bodies continued to rot slowly until they died.
This apocalyptic plague spread far and wide. It covered almost half of the Bound of Universe, and it continued to spread until the antidote was discovered.
What's more, this plague was something that even high level cultivators were unable to resist. In that plague, more than a hundred Saint Emperors and above died. From this, it could be seen just how tragic the situation was at that time!
At the right time, an expert of medicine did not hesitate to use himself as a cauldron, tasting all kinds of poisons, and finally found the antidote to the plague. It was also on the day that the antidote was confirmed that the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path was spread throughout the world, telling the people of the world how to cure the plague.
The alchemist named Kong Jishi had an ordinary cultivation base, only at the Honor level, but he was forever worshipped and revered by the people of the world.
Because of that, Kong Jishi became the grandmaster that all alchemists of the Bound of Universe revered.
There were only two incidents that involved the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path. Even when the Great Elder of the Sacred Heart Palace gathered eight experts to annihilate the Demon Soul, he did not receive the praise of the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path. In fact, there was no response at all.
It was far from enough!
Probably, only the merit of saving the world could trigger this sound!
This time, the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path was heard again!
Why was this?
Who was the source of the noise?!
Everyone held their breaths, waiting quietly for the next part of the story.
Since the Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path was heard, it would not stop. It would explain the cause and effect of the sound clearly.
A low but peaceful voice rang slowly in everyone's heart.
"Yun Yang, the leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes, disregarded his own safety and bravely went into danger. He entered the Demon Clan alone and discovered the Demon Clan's conspiracy to attack the Bound of Universe, causing great damage. He even slaughtered millions of the Demon Clan and plotted an internal strife in the Demon Clan … Such a peerless achievement is truly a role model for the human race, and it is specially announced to the world …"
The Heavenly Hymn of the Divine Path.
The Residence of Nine Supremes' Yun Yang!
There was only a brief description of Yun Yang's feats; there was no detailed description, but the phrase 'slaughtering millions of demons with wisdom' was enough to shock everyone to the core!
Slaughtered millions of demons?
The highlight was yet to come.
"… In order to commend Sect Leader Yun's achievement, the three heavenly palaces have jointly mobilized the holy power to pray to the heavens, and the Residence of Nine Supremes will be promoted to a superior-class Celestial Luck Banner sect!"
"… Sect Leader Yun is conferred the title of 'Bound of Universe Supreme Cloud', and the world will respect him."
