Chapter 114 Heavenly List
Chapter 114 Heavenly List
It was already night when we arrived at the Sword Sect. The mountains were lit up with lights for thousands of miles, and the mermaid candles were glowing faintly. There was no extravagant atmosphere, but rather a simple and quiet atmosphere.
Pei Yu and Ying Siqian had been waiting below for a long time. They got off the spirit boat and were led into the hall to take their seats.
The attendants behind the screen struck the chimes, and the pure and pleasant music spread far away from the hall, soft and warm.
Each person had a seat. Chen Zhou keenly discovered that there were a few unfamiliar monks here, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking pleasing to the eye.
Is it true that no one from the Sword Sect has come out?
After everyone was seated, Ye Lanruo waved her hand and said, "Let the banquet begin."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Zhou, who was closest to Ye Lanruo.
Chen Zhou, who had already trained his courage on his students, couldn't help but tighten his back as he silently endured their stares.
Several of Chen Zhou’s disciples were present at such a grand banquet.
The elders glanced over with a hint of pressure, and the atmosphere became a little weird for a moment.
But if Ye Lan hadn't mentioned it, the other elders might not have wanted to be too harsh and would have acquiesced.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank to celebrate.
Ye Lanruo said a few simple words, looking much happier than usual.
The Sword Sect has gained some popularity this time, and when it comes to recruiting students next time, I'm sure many talented people will come to Chen Zhou.
Then it was time for dinner. As soon as Chen Zhou scooped a spoonful of soup, he felt someone was looking at him.
He put down the spoon and stood up.
Ye Lanruo took him to introduce people, and several new monks toasted him.
"Ye Fuyao, I am the younger generation of the Ye family, the daughter of the Zhengjun, and I am also in the Jindan stage." Ye Lanruo looked at him, "I am a little older than you, what do you think?"
The female cultivator bowed to him, her back straight and an air of purity and righteousness all over her.
Chen Zhou: "The younger generation of the industry family is naturally outstanding."
Ye Lanruo went straight to the point: "How about being a partner?"
Chen Zhou paused for a moment before squeezing out a word: "...Ah?"
He followed Ye Lanruo's gaze and saw that the female cultivator was also staring at his face with a burning gaze, without avoiding it.
There is even a hint of warmth.
But that's none of his business.
The celebration banquet unknowingly turned into a blind date. Chen Zhou saw several unfamiliar faces behind Ye Lanruo and suddenly felt a headache.
Ling Yun coughed. She had been feeling weak recently and had been coughing up blood more and more frequently.
Chen Zhou squatted down subconsciously to check on her condition.
The bloodstains on the handkerchief were bright and eye-catching, and there were also bloodstains on Ling Yun's lips. Chen Zhou took out another clean handkerchief from his arms, reached out his hand and slowly wiped off the blood.
He frowned unconsciously, and the emotions in his eyes were noticed.
Ye Lanruo watched calmly as Ling Yun's hand loosely grasped his wrist, and with the other hand he pulled out the blood-soaked handkerchief that Chen Zhou was holding.
"..."
She stood up slowly and performed the disciple salute.
"Master Ye, Master, I am feeling unwell and will take my leave first."
Jiang Yao elbowed Cen Jianshen, who dropped the greasy animal leg in his hand, wiped his hands, stood up, and bowed: "Disciple is also feeling unwell."
The remaining three: "...disciple will go to accompany the eldest and second elder sisters, and will also take their leave."
Ye Lanruo: “…”
Shen Zhou saluted and also took the opportunity to speak.
As expected, they were brought up by the same master and their styles of doing things are exactly the same.
What a system.
"Everyone sit down." Ye Lanruo said lightly.
She waved her hand and asked the monks behind her to go down.
If you don’t like it, forget it.
The vast immortal energy suddenly created a gust of spiritual wind.
Suddenly, there was a bright light in front of Chen Zhou's eyes, followed by a stream of light. Hundreds of posts were suspended in the air at the same time, emitting auras of different colors.
The post from the high-level monk was intimidating, and the one closest to him revealed a slight corner, as if tempting him to open it.
Ye Lanruo introduced him.
"These are wedding invitations from various major sects and families, including some great masters such as the True Lord of Transformation and the Lord of Division."
She pushed one of them in front of Chen Zhou, and the wedding invitation slowly unfolded, revealing a page of thin and powerful words.
Chen Zhou realized it later and looked at her.
Ye Lanruo: "Think carefully about what to do."
These posts promise the position of a side king or a main king, and are willing to support him with the family resources behind him.
Unlike sects that are in the open, the resources controlled by the family are in the dark and cannot be understood by people other than the family members.
In fact, even Shen Zhou cannot afford to offend these people.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more arrogant a person becomes. If he has any evil intentions, his future life will be extremely difficult.
Ye Lanruo introduced the Ye family first to give him shelter, and secondly, to tie his name together with the Ye family and the Sword Sect.
"..."
Chen Zhou handed the post back: "No response."
Pretending not to see it is better than him rejecting it. The True Lord has to save face, so he won't take the initiative to ask him why he didn't respond.
As expected, he still has the same temper.
Ye Lanruo chuckled, collected the invitation for him, and then said, "Forget it, it's a celebration banquet, you can be more relaxed."
*
Yingxue Cave was still the same as before. Lingyun was covered with a quilt. The stove in the room was burning and it was warm. There was a hint of fatigue between her brows and her cheeks were a little pale.
If it were in the past, Ling Yun would be very alert if he made just the slightest noise.
She didn't even notice that he was beside her now, her eyes were tightly closed and not even her eyelashes moved.
Chen Zhou touched the back of her exposed hand, which was cold and lifeless.
When he was feeling preoccupied, Jiang Yao came hurriedly asking for a meeting.
The intelligence hall run by the Jiang family has the widest coverage and is the first group of people to get the news.
what news?
Shocking news!
This year's Heavenly Ranking was held near the Beast Taming Sect!
The Heavenly Ranking is opened due to fate, and the landing location is different each time. The Jiang family was still shocked when they received the news. In recent years, Dongzhou has gradually declined and talented people have withered. Several times, the Heavenly Ranking has been opened in Xizhou and Luzhou.
Has any figure emerged from the Beast Taming Sect?
How come the Jiang family didn’t know about this?
The fighting power of the Beast Taming Sect's disciples is not strong. Before the news spreads to all continents and the four seas and eight wildernesses, the ten major sects in East Continent must quickly unite to occupy the entrance to the Heavenly Ranking in advance.
Judging from the time, all the major sects should have already started preparing by now.
The content of the Heavenly Ranking assessment is strange. Sometimes it focuses on chance and character, sometimes it focuses on talent, spiritual roots, and ability, and sometimes it is a magic array level.
No one knows the content of this Heavenly Ranking assessment.
However, at the end of each Heavenly Ranking, there must be a discussion session. In each session, there will be thunder tribulations to temper the divine body. If there are signs of becoming a god, one can be granted the official position of a god.
As your cultivation improves in the future, you will be able to overcome the tribulation and ascend to heaven in the near future.
Different from the thunder tribulations in the world of cultivation, the divine thunder that descends from the Heavenly Ranking is not intended to destroy the physical body, but to increase the strength of the physical body as the condition increases until the tempering is completed.
Such good things certainly attracted much attention.
It’s a pity that the Heavenly Ranking is sometimes opened once every hundreds of years, and sometimes once every thousands of years. The chance of a cultivator encountering it in his lifetime is very slim.
Finding a cultivator who shows signs of becoming a god is like looking for a needle in a haystack. After all, it is not easy to become an immortal, let alone a god.
After so many years of discussing Taoism, there has been no talk of becoming a god in the world of cultivation. The gods that cultivators know of can probably be traced back to ancient times.
The probability of becoming a god is about 0.00000000000…1%.
Therefore, the probability of being struck by the divine thunder is...very small.
"How long will the Heavenly Ranking be open?"
Jiang Yao was already familiar with this: "Two days."
"Two days?" Chen Zhou was surprised by the number.
The imperial examination in ancient times lasted for three days!
"The Heavenly Ranking is different from the Secret Realm." Ling Yun seemed to be awakened by them.
She sat up from the bed, stretched out her hand to tidy up her messy clothes, and then leaned casually on the bed: "The Heavenly Ranking is not a treasure hunt, so of course it doesn't take that long."
