Upon hearing this, Qi Yin Master displayed deep envy.
Even before the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road opened, Venerate Xinnie had announced that he would take the best-performing disciple under his wing and bring them back to Young Emperor Mountain.
Young Emperor Mountain is rumored to be a mysterious force backed by a living Great Sage.
Every generation’s Young Emperor is exceedingly powerful.
The current Young Emperor is said to be a Supreme Peak Venerable who has cultivated the Void Flow Thunder Force to Great Success.
He has already touched the Law of Thunderbolt, nearly stepping into the Great Sage Realm.
If anyone could join Young Emperor Mountain, their future achievements would be limitless.
Perhaps they might even reach Divinity Transformation and become a Venerate standing above a state.
Therefore, the leaders of major sects eagerly hoped their disciples would stand out and be noticed by Venerate Xinnie.
This way, if the disciple returns successful in cultivation, the sect would surely rise in status and be among the Divine Sect.
Even if they are unwilling to return, it would at least form good relations with a Divinity Transformation Venerable.
There are only benefits, no downsides.
Qi Yin Master enviously said, “This generation of disciples is truly lucky to encounter such a blessing.”
“I wonder which fortunate one will seize this opportunity.”
As he spoke, he suddenly paused.
Could it be that Jiang Fan would end up reaping the benefits?
At this moment.
The stairs of the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road suddenly trembled.
Streams of divine light shot forth, intertwining at the stairway entrance to form a radiant stele.
It was densely engraved with names.
Whizz, whizz, whizz—
One after another, powerful figures, some reaching the Six Orifice or even Seven Orifice Nascent Soul Realm, arrived swiftly.
Among them were the leaders of the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects, as well as powerful leaders from first-class forces and families.
They all gazed at the stele.
“Is this the ranking of the inner disciples’ achievements?”
“Ranked first is number eighty-eight.”
“Number eighty-eight belongs to my Great Yin Sect’s Feng Yuan Sect!”
“Hahaha, I knew it, such a place is perfect for our Great Yin Sect!”
Leaders of the Divine Sect and major sects displayed a range of complex expressions, some envious, some jealous, and others complaining about unfairness.
The Great Yin Sect has many disciples from different branches, all practicing rather sinister techniques, especially the Yin Corpse faction.
It’s practically cheating; releasing corpses overwhelms everything.
“The second, number three hundred sixty, is from our Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, still not weak, with a thousand more steps to go, victory or defeat is yet undecided.”
“The third, number nine, is from our Sanqing Mountain.”
“The fourth is…”
Many first-class sects looked down with bitter expressions.
The top ten were all from the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects, and even within the top twenty, there were rarely anyone outside of them.
Surely, the Divine Sect and major sect disciples’ performance is a direct reflection of their heritage.
“Eh, there’s a change in the top twenty rankings.”
“An eight hundred and eighty-eight number broke in, which house is this from?”
Everyone’s number on the ray of light on them was randomly assigned.
A higher number doesn’t mean they were the last to enter.
Therefore, even Master Chen Jing, who held the entrance register, couldn’t match the people to their numbers.
He examined number eight hundred and eighty-eight on the stele and speculated:
“It should still belong to someone from the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects.”
“The top twenty rankings are all Left Dao Nascent Souls, and other sects haven’t cultivated the foundation of Left Dao Nascent Soul disciples.”
At this moment.
The ranking changed again.
“It’s now nineteenth! They’ve surpassed another person again in achievements!”
“Wait, still changing! Eighteenth!”
“Seventeenth!”
