Just are there were countless cultivators in the world, there were also countless elites. Truthfully speaking, as long as a clan or sect used all of their resources to nurture soone, that person would have a chance of being considered elite no matter what kind of background they had. It would be rather strange for such people to not be better than ordinary cultivators after having so many resources thrown at them, but there were different levels among these elites as well.
The lowest level of elites were like those youths from the seven small countries surrounding Chufung whod gathered at the Snowy Mountain. Their talent wasnt badthey wouldnt have been specifically chosen by their clan or sect for nurturing otherwiseand the additional resources ant theyd typically have above-average accomplishnts allowing them to stand above their peers within the sa generation.
A step higher were people like Ye Guyin and Hou Guin, the elites of a sect. Not only did they have vast amounts of resources and great talent, but they also had their own specialty and could be considered invincible among their peers within the sa generation.
Even better than these were the elites like Prince Chu Huang and Xiao Xue. Not only did they have their own speciality, theyd already ford a very stubborn idea about cultivation and sought to master one aspect to the extre. Xiao Xue, for example, had a very ordinary background, yet with a single sword she was able to challenge all of the Chufung elitesshe hadnt been considered invincible, shed proven it directly. Others such as the four top elites of the western deserts, the prince of the Ghost Kingdom, and the three fairies of the northern mountains were all at this sa level as well.
The people fighting for a spot on the Monunt Slab were all at least at the third level, as it was unlikely anyone weaker would be able to cross the Gods bridge in the first place. There were perhaps no more than a dozen of these people in all of Jambu, and all of them were extrely talented within the realm of cultivation. The truth was they all wanted to leave such a small place like Jambu and hoped that by placing their nas on the slab, theyd be given a chance to continue their cultivation in one of the large sects on the Videha continent, allowing them to rise up to completely new heights. In the end, though, it was still a very difficult thing, due to one reason in particular: there were simply too many elites.
The word elite had a very strong but subjective connotation. In the eyes of a little beggar on the street, the young masters of wealthy rchant clans who had all the ats and clothes they desired while traveling alongside horse carriages were elites, an existence they could never touch. As for the young masters themselves, the neighbor who lived a poor life but studied very hard could be seen as an elite, because if they passed the exams and beca a governnt official after studying so hard all their life, that person could beco an existence the young masters couldnt touch.
It was the sa in the realm of cultivation. An elite might have power over a small area, but they might suddenly realize theyre completely ordinary once they left. The Spirit Stage disciples of the Snowy Mountain had had this experience; perhaps theyd been invincible, fawned over, and admired in their own small country, but once they entered the Snowy Mountain, they discovered talent like theirs was actually common.
At least thirty percent of the elites in all four continents had gathered to seek out the opportunities and treasure found within the Mysterious Domain. This was an extrely high number, and being noteworthy within their peers was not an easy task at all. It was so difficult that even soone like the Huangfu clans young master wasnt certain hed manage to get his na within the top thirty-six rankings of the Big Dipper, so how could the other young cultivators of Jambu even dare to think about doing similar? Since their opponents included people from Videha, all they could hope for was getting onto the list at all.
Theres news.
A black-clothed cultivator excitedly flew over from far away and loudly reported to his sect, Our Fish Dragon Sects fourth disciple, Mo Yangzi, has already passed Gods Bridge and used his own power to break open a mysterious formation. Words appeared in the sky and announced his na being left on the Monunt Slab; his ranking is one hundred and seven. Mo Yangzi is currently making his way to the nearest teleportation altar in preparation to leave the Mysterious Domain.
The Fish Dragon Sect cheered with joy. They were a large sect of the northern mountains, and the fact their disciple had gained even the second-to-last rank on the slab due to their formation knowledge caused them to beco extrely excited. There was even an elderly cultivator who was so happy he was nearly in tears.
I just heard one of the top four elites of the western desertsthe daughter of the Wang clanhas killed her way into the innermost depths of the Mysterious Domain using her wind-and-fire wheels 1 ! After killing forty-five corpse fiends, her na was left on the slab at rank ninety-nine! Soone else sent over another ssage, causing another uproar of cheers.
Ghost Kingdoms news, Princess Li Hongyi of the Ghost Kingdom has her na on the slab. Rank eight-one, reason unknown!
Fang Xing had arrived at the area surrounding the Mysterious Domain by now and was observing what was going on. The periter was filled with news of the top elites successfully getting their nas on the slab, followed imdiately by an explosion of cheer and joy from the cultivators.
Of course, not all of the news was good news. Happiness was mixed with sorrow, with people shouting each ti a new bit of information arrived.
Misfortune! The northern mountains young master of the ancient Zhong clan wished to challenge Ghost Kingdoms Princess Li Hongyi and was killed!
Such sadness! Fish Dragon Sects Mo Yangzi was robbed and killed on his way to the teleportation altar, and his na was wiped from the Monunt Slab!
How painful! The daughter of the western deserts Wang clan was challenged by others. She failed to defend herself and her blood was scattered all across the Mysterious Domain, causing her na to drop out of the rankings.
In such a chaotic situation, there were also those who were specifically carrying ssages back and forth. A total of three great doors served as an exit for the Mysterious Domain, and all of the news had co from them. So of the more powerful sects had a large number of disciples within the Mysterious Domain not for the sake of opportunities, but so the disciples could collect important news to bring outside. They were sent inside for specifically this purpose and this purpose alone, and it was they whod been bringing out the most recent updates. Simply put, the large-scale conflict between the elites trying to get ranks on the slab had filled the hearts and minds of countless others.
Big news! Huangfus young master has finally made his move, killing ninety-nine corpse fiends. Ranked fifty-four.
How thrilling! Princess Li Hongyi was challenged by two unknown assailants. She lost and fled, but due to the unfairness of the challenge, her na remains.
How shaless! Its rumored the two who challenged the Ghost Kingdoms princess were Ghost Prince Li Ying and the western deserts son of the Han clan. To join forces with an outsider to sche against his own sister, this Ghost Prince is such a disappointnt.
Even discounting everyone elses thoughts, when the southern borders Ghost King heard the news, his face beca as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
Northern mountains successor Ye Xuanang made his move, breaking through three great formations. Ranked seventy-two.
A little dic saved a mysterious spiritual being in the depths of the Mysterious Domain and left her na on the slab due to her dicinal abilities. Ranked ninety-six.
When this news ca around, it left a small clan from the southern borders terrified and shocked. That little dic had been a girl from their clan who was stubborn enough to enter the depths of the Mysterious Domain despite her battle prowess being only ordinary. Everyone had expected her to die, yet shed actually managed to leave her na on the slab by rescuing a mysterious being.
Regardless, this kind of result was not sothing her clan was happy aboutsoone without battle prowess leaving their na on the slab was not necessarily a good thing. If even the Fish Dragon Sects Mo Yangzi had been killed after leaving his na, a small dic like her was doing nothing but bringing misfortune upon herself. However, what was even more surprising was that this little dics luck was so great she actually t a sect from Videha who took a liking to her and instantly accepted her as one of their own.
Huangfu clans young master has done it again! After accepting the challenges of ten powerful masters and winning against all of them, his rank has increased to forty-one!
Although there were occasionally so unknown nas being called out that surprised everyone, most of the announcents involved the large sects disciples whod already been famous before, and this young master of the Huangfu clan was undoubtedly at the forefront of everyones attention. He increased his rank on the slab by a large amount with every action he took, and others had interpreted his actions to an he intended to get within the ranks of the Big Dipper.
The cultivators from Jambu and Videha both fought over the sa rankings, making things incredibly challenging. Most people were concerned with simply getting their na on the slab, and it was only outstanding people like this young master from the Huangfu clan who werent yet satisfied and continued fighting to enter the ranks of the Big Dipper.
Such news continued for around eight days. All of the information was extrely astonishing, even more prominent than the news that Fang Xing had killed his own teacher. In re monts, all anyone talked about was whod successfully left their nas on the slab, or how the Huangfus young master had increased his rank once more. By comparison, no one was talking about that little demon whod caused all kinds of chaos in Jambu a few days prior.
Seven days passed just like this. The news reduced, and it seed as though the rankings had stabilized with very few changes.
Only ten people from Jambu had managed to leave their nas on the slab, with three using dicinal or formation abilities and the remaining seven using battle prowess. The young master of the Huangfu clan was ranked thirty-seven; Ghost Princess Li Hongyi was at ninety-three; western deserts daughter of the Wang clanWang Qiongwas at one hundred and one; Snowy Mountain disciple Xiao Xue at one hundred and four; and Ghost Prince Li Ying had also finally made his na on the slab, although hed only managed to place last at one hundred and eight. There was also news about another Jambu cultivators na being on the list, although the identity was very mysterious and no one knew who it was.
After so much ti had passed, Fang Xing assud Han Ying would no longer have any chance of leaving his na behind, but news ca on a random day announcing that the western deserts son of the han clanHan Yinghad killed off an elite from Videha in a single strike, taking over his ranking at sixty-four. Sothing like this had left everyone shocked. as it was the very first ti soone from Jambu had gained a spot on the list by challenging a Videha cultivator. Everyone thought the son of the Han clan was going to die soon afterwards, yet not only was he not killed, he was actually chosen by a Videha sect and was taken under their wings. With the protection of that large sect, it could be said Han Yings life had been saved.
On the twenty-first day after Fang Xing left the Mysterious Domain, the last news finally arrived: the young master of the Huangfu clan had challenged the Videha cultivator ranked thirty-sixth andafter a great battlehe won a narrow victory with a final strike and obtained the rank of his opponent. He beca the first cultivator from Jambu to enter the rank of the BIg Dipper and decided to leave the Mysterious Domain.
All the cultivators began cheering in joy upon hearing the news. To have a Jambu cultivator step into the ranks of the Big Dipper left them with a sense of honor and pride.
Fang Xing, on the other hand, finally stood up and walked towards the area the Huangfu clan had claid. All manner of thoughts and sches were being spun, like silk being made from cocoons.
