The sky was blue, clear, and untainted by a speck of dust. It was clear as if it had just been washed, and it was dotted with white clouds that were dyed with the glow of the sunset. The world was filled with thick and pure spiritual energy of the world.
The mountains rose and fell, and the trees were lush. The air was filled with an intoxicating freshness. Just a light breath would make one feel relaxed and happy.
"Whew … This world of cultivation is indeed not bad. The spiritual energy of the world is actually so dense and pure. Even without pills, this kid's cultivation speed will increase by more than two times …" the Treasure-hunting Sword's spirit thought in Chen Hao's mind.
Right at this moment, the space 30m in front of Chen Hao suddenly fluctuated strangely. After that, an enormous black pagoda stele appeared out of thin air and stood towering before Chen Hao. From top to bottom, the pagoda stele was densely covered with the names of at least a thousand people. At the top of the pagoda stele were five golden words inscribed in Immortal Script — The Rankings of the Hundred Dynasties!
Chen Hao stared at the names on the pagoda monument and took a deep breath. He slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, he swung his sword and cut off all the emotions that his family, friends, and that beautiful face that was like a cold moon brought to him.
The Way of the Heavens was heartless.
He could not be heartless, but with his perseverance, he would definitely not be indecisive. He had to put down what he needed to put down for the time being. He would not waste time on meaningless worry and longing.
Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Hao's deep, black eyes became extremely clear. His handsome and otherworldly face exuded a cold and resolute aura as he took a step towards the pagoda monument!
He slowly extended his hand, and the aura of the token immediately appeared in Chen Hao's palm. At the same time, Chen Hao fiercely pressed his palm against the notch on the pagoda monument.
This was a test that all disciples of the Hundred Empire Ranking had to undergo after entering the world of cultivation. The Spirit Treasure Pagoda Stele would analyze each disciple's energy, realm, and aura according to their battle prowess, and produce a preliminary ranking of the Hundred Empire Rankings.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The moment Chen Hao pressed his hand into the groove, a bright golden light rose from the pagoda stele. A mysterious and dense aura directly enveloped Chen Hao's body, and Chen Hao slowly closed his eyes.
…
"Chen Hao?"
Just as Chen Hao lasted for about half a minute, Yang Fan's figure appeared in front of the tower monument. Then, a figure appeared every half a minute. Ni Jianping, Li Yifeng, and Tantai Lian also appeared one after another. They all looked at their surroundings with a trace of surprise, then looked at Chen Hao with bright eyes.
The disciples who were qualified for the Hundred Empire Ranking would be teleported to different locations and times. Basically, it was carried out according to the ranking of the empires. Between empires, they would appear in different areas and locations. However, the disciples of the same empire would appear in the same location in a short period of time. This was because the five of them had the same set of tokens.
The bright golden light lasted for a full five minutes before slowly fading away until it disappeared. The moment it disappeared, Chen Hao withdrew his hand and suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, two golden words suddenly flashed from the bottom of the black pagoda stele and slowly rose up. When it reached the middle of the stele, the light disappeared and the words became smaller, appearing among the countless names.
"673!" Chen Hao gazed at his name with a trace of astonishment in his eyes. He took a deep breath and read in his mind.
"Only 673?" Yang Fan's group was also filled with astonishment. Although they had not fought Chen Hao, Chen Hao's battle prowess was undoubtedly the strongest among the five of them. But Chen Hao was actually only ranked at the 673rd place. Furthermore, they knew that at this moment, not all the disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking were present. Although the probability of an expert appearing later was not high, it was not impossible.
The Hundred Empire Ranking was just a name. There were not only a hundred empires, but hundreds of empires. Currently, there were only a little over a thousand names on the pagoda stele.
Chen Hao slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Yang Fan's group. He smiled and cupped his fists in greeting. Without saying anything, he soared into the sky.
"Wait, Chen Hao! Are we not together? "
Among the four, Li Yifeng, who appeared to be the most carefree, immediately called out to Chen Hao.
"Sorry. I like to be alone … "Chen Hao's indifferent voice sounded. His figure instantly became a small dot and disappeared into the horizon.
Yang Fan and Ni Jianping frowned slightly but did not say anything. However, their expressions were clearly dissatisfied and puzzled by Chen Hao's arrogance and unsociability. Did he think that he was in the Xuanwu Empire? The Hundred Empire Ranking was filled with geniuses. Only by gathering together would they be able to survive and become stronger.
Tantai Lian stared at Chen Hao's disappearing figure and frowned slightly. Her eyes were filled with confusion … Wasn't he interested in her? Why did he leave just like that? Shortly after, she shook her head lightly and sighed in her heart. Perhaps I'm overthinking … This is even better. I don't have to waste time rejecting him. I'm determined to stand out in the Hundred Empire Ranking. He's only the number one genius of the Xuanwu Empire and is only ranked 673. Then, how strong are the people in the top ten?
A faint smile appeared on Tantai Lian's seemingly untainted and otherworldly face. She stared at the names at the top of the pagoda stele with a trace of indescribable emotion in her eyes.
…
"Let me do it!"
Ni Jianping took a deep breath and arrived before the pagoda stele in a flash. Then, he pressed his palm down. Although he was as solemn as a mountain, his expression was filled with anticipation and excitement.
However, after five minutes, there was no miracle. Ni Jianping, who had risen to the peak of second stage Martial Ancestor, was only ranked 685. He was 13 places lower than Chen Hao.
After that, Yang Fan was ranked 678, Li Yifeng was ranked 742, and Tantai Lian was ranked 1383. She was the last one.
After the four people finished their tests, the black pagoda stele mysteriously disappeared. The four people's expressions became incomparably solemn.
"Phew …" Yang Fan was the first to regain his composure. He let out a long breath and said, "Our Xuanwu Empire is only ranked in the middle among the hundreds of empires. Our ranking is worthy of our name. You don't have to be discouraged. Empires that are stronger than us have better cultivation conditions than us. It's normal for them to be stronger than us. However, their cultivation talent might not be stronger than us. Otherwise, there wouldn't be five places for each empire. Now, we're already standing on the same starting line. There are still nine months left. How far we can go will depend on how much we can improve … "
Speaking until here, Yang Fan suddenly looked at Li Yifeng and said, "Chen Hao is right. I also want to train by myself! You, take care! "
Whoosh!
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he turned into a gust of wind and instantly disappeared into the horizon.
"F * ck!"
Li Yifeng cursed at Yang Fan's figure. However, his extraordinarily handsome face revealed a trace of determination. Yes, only when a person experienced a true life and death battle could he break through his limits to the greatest extent. Only Li Yifeng understood the seemingly ordinary Yang Fan, who had no ambition to compete. He didn't compete because he had already reached a certain level and received the same treatment. Standing at the top and shining like the sun was not in line with his character. He was a low-key person who wanted to keep a low profile. Only when he didn't reveal himself would his battle strength be the strongest!
"Me too!" Ni Jianping glanced at Li Yifeng and Tantai Lian and recovered his aura that was as heavy as a mountain. His eyes flashed with a trace of determination as he directly soared into the sky.
"Wait … all of you … all of you have left. What … what should I do?"
"This …" Li Yifeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the beautiful Tantai Lian with a graceful figure. His expression was conflicted. His greatest weakness in life was that he was fickle in everything he did. When it came to beauties, especially beauties like Tantai Lian, his resistance was close to zero.
"Senior Brother Li … I-I was able to advance to the Hundred Empire Ranking purely because of luck … You've seen it. I'm ranked last. If … if someone bullies me … let's train together, okay? I'll try my best not to be a burden to you. It's fine as long as we're in the same area. If I encounter a bad person, just help me … I'll … be very grateful to you! "Tantai Lian's beautiful eyes stared at Li Yifeng as she spoke pitifully.
When Tantai Lian's small hand tightly grabbed Li Yifeng's arm, Li Yifeng's head heated up and he said heroically, "Okay! With me, your Senior Brother, here, no one can bully you! Let's go! "
…
"Woosh!"
Chen Hao's majestic yuan qi surged out of his body, raising his speed to the peak. His strong physical body did not activate the protective aura qi, but at such a speed, the airflow that should have been like a knife, strangely turned into wisps of cool breeze the moment it neared him, making way for him.
During the three months, even though Chen Hao had spent the majority of his time helping Helian Wuzi and the others with their cultivation, his cultivation had already reached peak rank eight Martial Emperor. He was only half a step away from reaching a breakthrough. The only thing he lacked was his Origin Energy and spirit power. If Chen Hao wanted to forcefully break through, he would naturally be able to do so. However, he would have to consume a large amount of medicinal pellets. At that moment, Chen Hao could be said to be extremely wealthy. Thus, he did not care too much about medicinal pellets. However, Chen Hao did not do that. The reason for that was because he wanted the conditions to flow naturally, and not something that could be accomplished overnight. This was especially true for him, who had fused two barriers into one. He could not be careless. Otherwise, the further he went, the more difficult it would be for him to increase his cultivation speed.
Chen Hao understood the concept of more haste, less speed. Thus, he had to lay down a firm foundation!
His mind was immersed in the true essence of wind. This caused the air resistance to fly to become smaller and smaller, and his speed to become faster and faster.
Chen Hao continued to change his body shape. He adjusted the state of every single cell in his body so that his speed would become even faster!
… …
After an hour, Chen Hao's mind shook. A dark blue ocean appeared before Chen Hao's eyes.
Magnificent waves, vast and boundless blue waves. One could not see the end of the ocean. The surging waves, the whistling wind, and the intense aura of Monstrous Beasts. Who knew how much danger was contained within!
The Endless Ocean!
This was the dangerous training ground that led to the first layer of the Hundred Empire Ranking. Every disciple that obtained the qualifications to enter the Hundred Empire Ranking could only enter the next layer of the Endless Ocean through the Teleportation Gate in the depths of the ocean. Within the ocean, Monstrous Beasts roamed freely. There were all sorts of spiritual medicines, treasures, remnants, and inheritances. How much fortune one could obtain would depend on oneself!
