"Eh? This ranking list … can increase one's providence? "
As time passed, the hidden effect of the ranking list was discovered by the elites of the various sects.
This was because the chances of the disciples on the ranking list obtaining fortuitous encounters had greatly increased. All of them became exuberant and their fortunes were flourishing. Their cultivation had also become smoother!
"The Skyreach Stele is a treasure of providence? We have to take this seriously! "
The battle for providence was also a battle for cultivation. If the disciples' providence was flourishing, the Sect's providence would be flourishing as well. Hence, the various Sect members who initially rejected the ranking list became very supportive.
The various sects opened up arenas for the cultivators on the ranking list to challenge. The ranking list challenge became a grand event in the cultivation world.
However …
The Nether Sect could not participate!
"Why can't we participate? We're cultivators too, we … "
"You're gods! Not cultivators! "
The Seal of Samsara's cold reminder rendered the Emperor Yama speechless.
In truth, their power came from the imperial edict. Not only were they not cultivators, but they were not even Divine Path cultivators.
The Nether Sect that was in the fire pit could only work as Yin Deities of the Underworld without complaint.
"Du Bai, this battle concerns the Sect's glory. You must give it your all!"
On this day, the Ying Province Sect welcomed a peak battle!
Du Bai, the first on the Genius Ranking, was going to fight the second on the Genius Ranking, the Luo Fu Sect's Galaxy Sword, Ying Juexiao.
Ying Juexiao was more than ten years older than Du Bai. He had been at the peak of the Qi Channeling stage for many years. His Galaxy Sword Technique was extraordinary.
However, with such strength, he was still ranked second. This made Ying Juexiao very unhappy.
This battle was Ying Juexiao's battle to prove his name.
"Du Bai, let's fight!"
Ying Juexiao stood in the arena. The long sword in his hand that was swirling with starlight vibrated slightly, and a sword energy shot out.
"Boom!"
The sword energy shot into the sky and exploded with a loud boom.
"Sword energy thunder! Sword energy thunder! "
Seeing the sword light that soared into the sky and hearing the thunderous explosion, the countless cultivators watching the battle let out a burst of shocked cries.
Thunderous sword energy. This was a realm of swordsmanship that many Divine Soul experts were unable to reach!
Ying Juexiao had actually mastered the Sword Qi Thunderous Technique? No wonder he dared to challenge Du Bai! It turned out that they had come prepared.
This time … Du Bai's title of "number one on the Genius Ranking" would be lost.
A cultivator who was defeated in a challenge would inevitably suffer a great fall in their reputation and popularity. Naturally … his luck had also plummeted.
"Fame is just an external object. One's own body is the foundation. Du Bai, don't feel burdened. Just fight with all your might. "
As Du Bai's Master, Fairy Mingqin was one of the few Jin Dan Grandmasters who did not care about fame or fortune.
In her opinion, no matter how great one's Karmic Luck was, wouldn't one still have to rely on oneself to cultivate? He couldn't neglect the essentials.
In fact, Fairy Mingqin's view was correct.
Luck was just icing on the cake. One's own cultivation was the foundation.
However, cultivators on the Genius Ranking had a great increase in Karmic Luck and endless fortuitous encounters. This caused many Sect, Family Clans, and cultivators themselves to be very concerned about Karmic Luck.
Wielding a sword under the heavens, one's name was illustrious! Furthermore, one's Karmic Luck would greatly increase. One naturally could not let go of such a good opportunity.
"This disciple understands!"
Du Bai was naturally very grateful for Fairy Mingqin's concern.
"Only the heart and only the self. Whether it is Karmic Luck or Reputation, they are all external objects. I have long since stopped being limited by external objects. How can I be burdened by reputation? "
Du Bai's cold face was expressionless. He did not care about other people's discussions, nor did he care about the encouragement of his fellow sect members. Pressing the "Moonlight Sword", he walked onto the stage unhurriedly.
"Du Bai, it hasn't even been ten years since you reached the Qi Drawing Realm. As for me, I have already been in the Qi Drawing Realm for thirty years. My cultivation is one and I have also mastered Thunderous Sword Qi. What will you use to fight me? "
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Ying Juexiao used a "psychological attack" to attack Du Bai's confidence.
"Cultivation level has nothing to do with cultivation time. You have been in the Qi Drawing Realm for thirty years, yet you have not reached the Godly Soul Stage. You are still ranked below me. This can only mean that you are not good enough! "
How could Du Bai not understand the "psychological attack"? He immediately retorted sarcastically, attacking Ying Juexiao's vital point.
"You're just showing off!"
Ying Juexiao snorted coldly and raised the Xinghe Sword in his hand. "I wonder if your sword is as powerful as your tongue?"
"Won't you know if you try?"
Du Bai expressionlessly raised the "Moonlight Sword". "Senior Apprentice Brother Ying, please!"
"Watch this!"
Ying Juexiao swung his long sword. Hazy starlight swirled around the "Xinghe Sword".
"Ethereal Sword Song!"
The sword light was like a drizzle, endless. Waves of ethereal celestial music rang out from the sword light. The celestial music was graceful and enchanting.
However … this seemingly ethereal and soft sword light was as swift as thunder, as fast as lightning.
The sword rain was hazy and suddenly enveloped the entire stage.
"Good! As expected of the Xinghe Sword! The Ethereal Sword Song is indeed unparalleled. "
Seeing this sword, the spectating practitioners instantly cheered loudly.
Even the Jin Dan experts of the Ying Zhou and Luofu Sects nodded their heads in admiration of Ying Juexiao's sword.
To be able to cultivate sword techniques to such a level in the Qi Gatherer Stage, the Luofu Sword Cultivators were indeed extraordinary.
"Ethereal Sword of Stars? So many tricks. You have to know that it only takes one sword to kill someone! "
A white light flashed across Du Bai's eyes. He swung the "Moonlight Sword" in his hand and slashed down!
A straight slash!
Straight and direct, without any fancy moves!
With just one slash, a ray of moonlight rushed up like a crescent moon. The ethereal starlight and the hazy sword rain were instantly split apart by this ray of moonlight!
"Boom!"
The sword light flashed, and then a roar sounded.
"Sword Aura Thunderous Sound! Du Bai has also mastered the Sword Aura Thunderous Sound! "
Seeing the power of this sword, the crowd cried out in shock.
No wonder Du Bai of the Ying Zhou Prodigy Ranking first! He had reached the Qi Gatherer Stage less than ten years ago, but he had already mastered the "Sword Aura Thunderous Sound" technique?
"Good!"
Ying Juexiao's reputation was not undeserved. When the ethereal sword rain was split apart by the moonlight, rays of starlight burst out from the Xinghe Sword.
Stars appeared in the light of the sword, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into the mortal world and appeared on the platform.
The river of stars flowed and the vast starry sky swept out.
This sword strike no longer had a soft and ethereal feeling. Instead, it had turned into a violent and crushing force!
"Clang! Clang! Clang! "
The moonlight and starlight intertwined. For a moment, the moon and the stars shone together. The entire platform was dazzling.
"A fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger! A fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger! "
"The battle between the first and second on the Prodigy Ranking is indeed extraordinary."
"Such peerless sword techniques, no wonder they are the first and second on the Prodigy Ranking."
The spectators saw the scene of the moon and stars intertwining on the platform and were instantly amazed.
"I didn't expect your sword techniques to be so extraordinary. I still have one more sword technique. Take my sword. 'Falling Stars Like Rain'! "
The sword light trembled, and stars fell from the sky with bright flames behind them, smashing fiercely toward Du Bai.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded, and monstrous flames surged up. A huge fire dragon rushed out, and fiercely collided with Ying Juexiao.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the violent shock wave sent Ying Juexiao flying out of the platform.
"You …"
Ying Juexiao's face was full of shock and anger. How could you use spells in a sword competition?
"Senior Brother Ying, I'm not a sword cultivator."
Du Bai spread his hands.
Yes! Ying Juexiao was a sword cultivator, but Du Bai was not! Spells were Du Bai's forte, right?
He was not a sword cultivator, but he had mastered the Sword Aura Thunderous Sound. No wonder he was the first on the Prodigy Ranking!
He deserved it. His popularity and providence had greatly increased.
