"Young Master, I am now familiar with it. The ’Wind Control Nine Heavens’ is truly profound, more than ten tis deeper than the ’Wind Radiance Scripture’." Yan Zhenling’s captivating peach blossom eyes sparkled as she spoke with excitent.
Only after practicing ’Wind Control Nine Heavens’ did she truly feel the power of this Cultivation Technique.
Compared to it, ’Wind Radiance Scripture’ is like a junior brother.
"Quite fast, it seems your comprehension is also very high. However, rember, when you encounter direct descendants of the Heavenly Spirit Realm Immortal Hall, do not easily reveal your Cultivation Technique, nor say that it was I who taught it to you," Xu Ping’an said.
"Yes, Young Master. I will never forget Young Master’s profound kindness," Yan Zhenling said earnestly.
Xu Ping’an nodded and didn’t really mind Yan Zhenling’s offer of repaynt.
For him, he simply wanted to help Yan Zhenling and hadn’t considered anything else.
"Let’s go, I know the whereabouts of the other Xuanqing Immortal Vines," Xu Ping’an said and then swept off in one direction.
Yan Zhenling imdiately followed, her full-bodied figure exceptionally graceful and ethereal.
Her beauty was different from Tang Qingyu’s.
Tang Qingyu carried with her a cold and detached aura to so extent.
Yan Zhenling, from head to toe, exuded a radiant and charming allure, seasoned by having experienced all the flavors of the world.
The trio quickly arrived deep in the mountains, this place was the core of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
There were gradually more people.
Many who ca to Heavenly Dao Mountain were seeking opportunities, most of them Eighth Rank Cultivators.
Here, besides the Xuanqing Immortal Vine, there could also be treasures and Immortal Artifacts left by Ancient Cultivators.
With so luck, one might even find fragnts of Dao Laws.
Having experienced the benefits of the Dao Law fragnts, Xu Ping’an clearly understood just how precious these fragnts truly were.
The arrival of Xu Ping’an and his group did not attract too much attention from other Cultivators.
It was the beauty of Tang Qingyu and Yan Zhenling that drew so glances, though no one actually made a move.
Everyone was there to hunt for treasures after all, and not even the allure of won could entice anyone to provoke trouble at such a ti.
...
Just as Xu Ping’an was heading towards the location of the Xuanqing Immortal Vine, outside Heavenly Dao Mountain at this very mont, a sizable number of Eighth Rank Strongn had arrived.
There were more than twenty of them, all dressed in different attires, seemingly from various forces.
These Eighth Rank Strongn had all ascended from the Second Layer.
"Are you sure this guy ca to Heavenly Dao Mountain?" the leading Eighth Rank elder turned to a young man in a yellow robe and asked.
"Positive. I received information that soone saw him enter Heavenly Dao Mountain and he has not left; he’s still inside," Yuan Chengbing said.
Indeed, this person was Yuan Chengbing, whom Xu Ping’an had encountered before in the Soul Fighting Arena.
By his side were Li Mu from Tianlong Hall, Bai Feng from Shangxuantian, and Song Yan from Fire Divine Palace.
"Good, we wasted so much ti looking for him on the Second Layer and even ran into that damned Savage Ape King, nearly got beaten to death by it," an Eighth Rank middle-aged man said sowhat angrily.
The four people with Yuan Chengbing were sowhat embarrassed because they were the ones who had provided the earlier intelligence.
"Savage Ape King? How did this Demon Beast get in here?" Bai Feng asked curiously.
"Who knows? This Demon Beast has advanced to Ninth Rank, not easy to deal with. But it’s not after us; seems like it’s looking for soone. Plus, there were many of us, so we managed to escape. By now, the beast should have already reached the Third Layer. With so many Ninth Rank Experts on the Sixth Layer, it would be invincible in the lower five layers," another Eighth Rank Strongman with a white beard said gravely.
The others nodded in agreent.
The re thought of that beast sent shivers down their spines.
"Let’s not worry about that beast for now. Let’s find Xu Ping’an, kill him, and then quickly move to the Sixth Layer. Once we reach the Sixth Layer with so many Ninth Rank Experts around, the beast won’t be able to stir up any trouble," said the leading elder from the Earth Divine Sect.
"Yes, it’s true, Xu Ping’an needs to be killed. According to the intelligence we received, this fellow at the peak of the Sixth Rank can kill an Eighth Rank. He must be hiding a big secret. If he can’t be used by our Defying Heaven Alliance, naturally he cannot be spared, otherwise he might beco the next Shi Jingtian," said a red-haired middle-aged man from the Fire Divine Palace.
Upon ntioning Shi Jingtian, the others also looked worried.
Shi Jingtian was an astounding prodigy who had caused quite so trouble for their Defying Heaven Alliance.
He later joined the Human Dao Alliance, almost reviving it from a state of utter decline.
Therefore, to prevent such incidents from happening again, the Defying Heaven Alliance had an attitude of annihilating any gathering of peerless geniuses who wished to join their ranks.
"This Xu Ping’an is truly extraordinary. Coming from a small place, he was actually able to ascend the talent list, a ranking acknowledged by all of the Fifth Realms," an Eighth Rank elder wearing a Daoist robe and a wooden hairpin said.
"Xu Ping’an made it onto the talent list?" The others were all taken aback.
"Yes, I have received so of the latest intelligence. Xu Ping’an has ascended the talent list issued by the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, albeit ranking at 98th," the elder explained.
"98th place? Close to the bottom, but being on the list already indicates his imnse potential. This child must be killed," an elder from the Fire Divine Palace said, with a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
The other Eighth Rank Strongn grew solemn, sensing the threat posed by Xu Ping’an.
Yuan Chengbing, Li Mu, and others were astonished beyond asure.
Xu Ping’an had actually made it onto the talent list?
Along with their surprise, a deep jealousy erged.
The talent list was sothing unattainable for them.
It was considered the most credible ranking throughout the Five Realms, and Xu Ping’an had actually managed to ascend it?
The Wind and Cloud Pavilion is an extrely powerful and mysterious neutral force, which issued a total of five lists.
The Talent List, Emperor’s Body List, Immortal List, Immortal Saint List, and the Heavenly Endownt List!
Except for the Heavenly Endownt List, these rankings included the top hundred individuals from all over the world.
The Talent List comprised of the top hundred talents under the age of thirty.
The Emperor’s Body List included the top hundred Ninth Rank Experts in terms of strength.
The Immortal List and Immortal Saint List were for those ranked in the top hundred among the Tenth Rank and Eleventh Rank respectively.
As for the Heavenly Endownt List, as the na implies, it ranked the beauty of won.
The beauty here not only refers to looks but also includes temperant, talent, status, and more.
However, the Heavenly Endownt List only accommodated ten nas; therefore, anyone who could make the list is considered a peerless beauty, the finest in the world.
Ling Qingyao was once ranked third on the Heavenly Endownt List.
…
anwhile, a young man in silver robes was holding a golden scroll inscribed with three large characters: Talent List.
"Congratulations, Young Master, for ascending the talent list," the elder beside him promptly congratulated.
The silver-robed young man looked at the na ranked 99th on the list, Ouyang Yan, a smug smile appearing on his face.
He had ascended the talent list, and although it was only the 99th place, that still made him a genius among geniuses.
"Shangguan Lingyu actually advanced to the 68th place, it seems she has made a breakthrough recently, and a significant one at that," the young man nad Ouyang Yan remarked.
His goal was to catch up with Shangguan Lingyu and win her over.
Unfortunately, the gap between rank 99 and 68 might seem small, but in reality, it was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
The Talent List is difficult to climb even by a single rank, and the most direct thod is to kill those who are ranked above oneself and take their place.
Could any of those listed individuals not be a genius defying the heavens?
"Eh, he’s also on the list and even ranked above ?" The silver-robed young man suddenly focused on the 98th na on the list, his face revealing intense killing intent.
The elder by his side looked and recognized the words ’98th Place: Xu Ping’an’.
"Xu Ping’an? Is it that mortal ant who defeated Shangguan Lingyu?" the elder asked in surprise.
"Yes, it should be him. I didn’t expect this person could actually make it onto the list and even rank ahead of . Has the Wind and Cloud Pavilion beco so careless in their ranking?" The silver-robed young man said, his eyes blazing with rage.
"Young Master need not be furious. I’ve received news that Xu Ping’an has also entered the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace and has been added to the Defying Heaven Alliance’s hit list. He’s currently on Heavenly Dao Mountain. If the Young Master kills him, it will naturally be a slap to the Wind and Cloud Pavilion’s face," the elder said with a smile.
"He’s on Heavenly Dao Mountain? Perfect. Find him, and I will kill him. I want the people of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion to know that Xu Ping’an doesn’t deserve to be on the talent list," the silver-robed young man said with a cold snort, his eyes seething with murderous intent.
