Zhenling naturally did not have high hopes of entering the late Dharma stage, but Zhenling still had hopes of making it to the early Dharma stage.
If the mid Dharma stage battle list attracted everyone's attention because it was fought over by the elites of the third generation of adepts, then the early Dharma stage battle list was chaotic!
One of the reasons the early Dharma adepts were "messy" on the leaderboard was that there were many more early Dharma adepts than mid Dharma adepts. Another reason was that there was not much of a gap between the early Dharma adepts' abilities. The third reason was that the early Dharma adepts had suffered too many losses in battle. It was possible that the adepts who were on the leaderboard one day would disappear from the leaderboard the next day because they had died or because they were unable to compete for battle credits due to their severe injuries.
Therefore, compared to the intense and orderly competition on the battle merit leaderboard for the mid Dharma stage, the early Dharma stage battle merit leaderboard was much more chaotic. There were even two instances where the cultivator at the top of the early Dharma stage battle merit leaderboard had suddenly disappeared. This meant that these two cultivators had completely fallen.
Even the adept who appeared at the top of the list could easily disappear from the list after dying. This showed how chaotic the early Dharma stage battle list was.
However, if one took a closer look at the early Dharma stage battle credit rankings, they would still be able to detect a few strong and resilient existences. Although their rankings had been fluctuating up and down, they had never once fallen off the list. More importantly, they had survived in one piece, which was why they had finally managed to secure a spot on the battle credit rankings.
Among them were Zhenling's Liu Tianyuan and Tiancheng Laozu!
Liu Tianyuan could be considered an Ascetic Monk, and with the help of Tiankang Laozu's Dharma Soul, he was now at the peak of the early Dharma stage, making him an outstanding adept among the adepts of the same level.
In addition, during the last period of time, he had teamed up with Lu Ping and Yin Tianchu. With their help, he had gained a lot of battle credits. He had even killed the Jade Shura with Lu Ping's help two or three times, causing his battle credits to increase rapidly. Now, he was firmly in the 23rd place on the battle list and had secured the right to enter the Seventh Patriarch's altar.
The other one who had secured the right was Tiancheng Laozu. Tiancheng Laozu's ranking was much higher than Liu Tianyuan's, with 291 points. This was because Tiancheng Laozu had arrived half a month later. Otherwise, it would not have been a problem for him to make it to the top ten.
Although Liu Tianyuan had gained a lot of battle credits with the help of Lu Ping and Yin Tianchu, Lu Ping and Yin Tianchu still had to fight for battle credits, so there was still a limit to how much they could help Liu Tianyuan.
But Tiancheng Laozu was different. Tiancheng Laozu had used the Mother and Child Core Fire to practice the Inferno Sky Burning Inferno, which allowed Tiancheng Laozu to challenge mid Dharma adepts at the early Dharma stage.
In addition, Tiancheng Laozu had two mid Dharma adepts by his side, Tianqin and Tianshan, to help him fight for battle credits. Therefore, although Tiancheng Laozu had arrived half a month later than the others, his battle credits kept rising, and he was finally in the 13th place.
Other than Liu Tianyuan and Tiancheng Laozu, there was actually another early Dharma adept in Zhenling who had made it to the top of the leaderboard, and that was Lei Di!
Strictly speaking, Lei Di was not a Zhenling adept. This time, he had come from the North Sea because he could not forget about Qin Yu and Qin Gang. However, he could not use the name of the Luo Xin Sect to compete for the leaderboard, so he had used his identity as a third generation disciple of Zhenling to receive the Photographic Stone.
Although Lei Di was born in the Luo Xin Sect, he had a fortuitous encounter later on. Now, he only had about ten to twenty percent of his abilities from the Luo Xin Sect. This was also the reason why Lei Di did not have much of a sense of belonging to the Luo Xin Sect.
Lei Di's abilities were already considered outstanding among the adepts of the same level, and he was not inferior to Liu Tianyuan. With the help of the two brothers, Qin Yu and Qin Gang, as well as Lu Ping's secret instructions, and the early Dharma adepts of Zhenling taking good care of him, Lei Di actually managed to make it to the leaderboard. He was now in the 38th place among the early Dharma adepts, which was a very stable position.
Zhenling had two mid Dharma adepts on the leaderboard, and three early Dharma adepts on the leaderboard. This kind of achievement was enough for Zhenling to attract the attention of the entire world of adepts.
However, other than being able to enter the Seventh Patriarch's Platform, there was also the fight to enter the Three Great Secret Realms. Zhenling's performance was still outstanding. Among the late Core Forging adepts and the mid Core Forging adepts, there was only one late Core Forging adept who managed to make it to the top 100, and it was a third generation adept of Zhenling.
However, among the mid Core Forging adepts, there were four who managed to make it to the top 100, and these four were all fourth generation disciples of Zhenling. This was especially so when Lu Ping's disciples, Wang Xuanqi and Du Xuanluo, both managed to make it to the top 100. Even Lu Ping was a little surprised when he heard about this.
To Lu Ping, Wang Xuanqi's inclusion was more or less expected. After all, he was Lu Ping's first disciple, and he was a swordsman who had reached the sixth level of the Core Forging stage and was about to enter the late Core Forging stage. Even though he was only a fourth generation disciple, his abilities were indeed at the peak of the mid Core Forging stage.
Du Xuanluo's inclusion in the Three Great Secret Realms surprised Lu Ping slightly. After all, his cultivation level was slightly lower, and his cultivation was not very good at fighting. In Lu Ping's opinion, Du Xuanluo's advantage came after he entered the Dharma Phase. However, he did not expect that Du Xuanluo's excellence was far beyond Lu Ping's expectations. This was a typical disciple who combined talent with hard work.
With the joint efforts of Zhenling, Zhenling was still ranked first among all the medium-sized sects. Not only were the Core Forging disciples qualified to enter the Secret Realms able to obtain a considerable portion of the cultivation resources, but the sect itself would also receive a portion of the cultivation resources from the disciples who entered the Secret Realms and the Nine Profound Tower's own cultivation resources as compensation.
Only the top five sects of the medium-sized sects were qualified to receive this compensation. Since Zhenling was ranked first, the cultivation resources that they received were naturally the most generous among all the medium-sized sects.
Three days later, ten Pure Yang cultivators jointly sent a message to the various sects that participated in the Battle of Nine Profound Tower, announcing the end of the Battle of Nine Profound Tower. The Battle of Nine Profound Tower was sealed, and the cultivators on the list were required to rush to the Land of Two Rivers within three days. At that time, the Pure Yang cultivators of each sect, Laozu, would join forces to open the Seventh Patriarch's Taoist Altar and the Three Secret Realms.
