Chapter 677 The Divine Palace! The Blood Shadow Beneath Cloud Spring City!
"Luck? What is that?"

Luo Cheng was very curious.

Previously, he was too far removed from the Domain Rankings and didn't know much about them; this was the first time he had heard this news.

Yin Li said, "There are many interpretations of the concept of fortune. Some say it's the energy of heaven, others say it's the dragon veins of the earth, or a person's destiny, and so on. There are various explanations, but what is certain is that fortune can influence all aspects of a person's life. For example, on the same cliff, a person with weak fortune will only be smashed to pieces if they fall, while a person with strong fortune will not only survive but will also have a miraculous encounter..."

"The flow of fortune is ethereal and mysterious; it is difficult to comprehend its essence without reaching a certain level of understanding. My knowledge and experience are also quite limited..."

Yin Li gently shook his head and said to Luo Cheng, "Since you are qualified to be on the Domain Ranking, you must strive for it. The claim that the Domain Ranking increases one's fortune, although there is no real evidence, is not entirely unfounded."

"Throughout history, those who have reached the Domain Ranking before the age of eighteen have all achieved great things. The higher the ranking, the greater the achievement. Back then, the Empress of Great Chu dominated the Domain Ranking of Awakening Pulse Realm at the age of fourteen, and then topped the Domain Ranking of Absolute Continent. At the age of twenty-two, she ascended to the top of the Domain Ranking of True Persons in Eastern Continent, becoming the number one True Person in Eastern Continent. Later, she gradually rose to the rank of Emperor, becoming the youngest Emperor in Eastern Continent in a thousand years!"

"The Empress of Great Chu! Dominating the Awakening Pulse Realm Ranking at the age of fourteen!"

Luo Cheng heard the name of the Empress of Great Chu once again!

It seems that whenever there are records of strong individuals, she is number one. Even though the other party has now disappeared without a trace, the legend she left behind still overshadows the geniuses of the past and present. Her talent and brilliance are unmatched.

This made Luo Cheng feel the pressure.

He was already fifteen years old, which was considered quite an achievement in the Great Yue Dynasty, but compared to the Empress of Great Chu, he was insignificant.

Yin Li understood Luo Cheng's feelings very well and sighed:
"The Empress of Great Chu is a genius emperor who appears only once every thousand years, a prodigy among prodigies. The records she set are so high that even in a thousand years, let alone in our Yunlan Domain, it will be difficult for anyone in the entire Eastern Continent to break them. We shouldn't compare ourselves to her, or we'll only be asking for trouble."

Luo Cheng nodded and asked, "Sister Yin Li, what is the approximate strength of the top ten in the Yunlan Domain's Qunjue Meridian Realm Ranking?"

"Oh? You want to compete for a top ten spot on the domain rankings?"

Yin Li raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "This is not an easy task."

"The top ten on the Domain Ranking are all the most outstanding geniuses from their respective countries, including some monstrous geniuses who have awakened Earth-level Martial Souls and Heaven-level Martial Souls."

"Not only have their cultivation reached the limit of the Awakening Meridian Realm, but their cultivation techniques and martial arts are also top-notch with no obvious weaknesses. They have even awakened powerful martial soul abilities. Each of them has the strength to directly confront a powerful Earth-level expert. The top three can even defeat a powerful Earth-level expert. Their combat power is terrifying."

"If you want to compete with these people, your strength needs to be at least one level higher."

Can you defeat a powerful Earth-level expert...?

Shocked, Luo Cheng began to analyze his own strength.

His current peak combat strength is enough to directly confront an ordinary Earth-level expert.

However, he wasn't very confident in defeating a powerful Earth-level expert.

However, Luo Cheng did not lose confidence because of this.

His cultivation is about to break through to the peak of the Awakening Meridian Realm, at which time his strength will reach a new level.

In addition, his sword intent is just one step away from being completely perfected, making him a sword intent-level swordsman!

Most importantly, he also comprehended the incredibly powerful killing sword intent!
Once he becomes a swordsman of the Sword Intent level, his strength will undoubtedly increase more than other swordsmen of the Sword Intent level, and by a much greater margin!
As for exactly how much stronger, Luo Cheng had no idea.

However, defeating an ordinary Earth-level expert should not be difficult.

Seeing that Luo Cheng remained silent for a long time, Yin Li assumed he was discouraged and comforted him, "You don't need to be discouraged. Your killing intent is very strong, you could say it's extremely powerful. As long as you can become a swordsman of the sword intent level, you should have no problem entering the top ten, or even the top five, of the domain ranking. The prerequisite is that you need to reach the Awakening Meridian Realm and comprehend true sword intent!"

"Top five?"

Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Since we're going to compete, why not compete for first place?" Luo Cheng's goal has never changed: to be number one on the Domain Ranking and become the strongest and most invincible expert among those at the Awakening Meridian Realm. If the Empress of Great Chu could do it, so could he.

"First place?"

Yin Li paused for a moment, then gave Luo Cheng a deep look, unsure whether Luo Cheng was joking.

The other person was clearly not very old, but she always felt that he was hard to figure out.

Luo Cheng didn't dwell on this point and asked some more questions about the domain rankings.

Yin Li, on the other hand, spoke freely and without reservation.

"Sister Yin Li, you said the Domain Ranking involves an ancient sect. What is the name of this ancient sect?"

Yin Li took a light breath and said, "This ancient sect is called the Imperial God Palace."

"The Divine Palace? Commanding gods! That's an incredibly arrogant name!"

Luo Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "I haven't seen any record of the Imperial Divine Palace in our Xuan Yuan Sect's Xuan Yuan Records. Could it be that I missed something...?"

The Xuan Yuan Record provides a comprehensive overview of the cultivation world, including records of many famous ancient powers. However, Luo Cheng had never seen any record of the Imperial God Palace.

Yin Li shook his head: "It's not that you missed it, but that part of the history of the existence of the Imperial Divine Palace seems to have been deliberately erased. Many people don't know about it. I only found out about it by chance in an ancient book."

"According to ancient records, the Imperial God Palace was one of the most powerful forces in ancient times, with countless strong members. Its sect leader was the leader of that era and was invincible. Unfortunately, at the height of its power, the Imperial God Palace was razed to the ground overnight and disappeared without a trace. Even the traces of its existence were deliberately erased."

"Razed to the ground overnight! That's outrageous. Who did it?"

Luo Cheng was deeply surprised and found it hard to believe.

A top power from ancient times was wiped out overnight, with even traces of its existence completely erased. What kind of methods are these!
It's almost like being a god!
"I don't know. The person who wrote the ancient book seems to have been very secretive about this matter, and the record is not detailed. In addition, the ancient book is incomplete, so we have no way of knowing what happened back then."

Luo Cheng was amazed; the world was so vast, and he had seen and heard so little.

At this moment, the giant ice serpent suddenly slowed down.

"We've arrived at Yunquan City," Yin Li said.

Luo Cheng looked down and saw a city standing at the end of his field of vision.

The sun shone brightly in the sky, but the entire city was shrouded in a thin layer of milky white mist, which shimmered with colorful hues under the sunlight, creating a magnificent and ethereal scene.

Yin Li, who had visited Yunquan City before, explained, "There are underground spiritual springs beneath Yunquan City. These springs can help people enter a cultivation state more quickly and accelerate their cultivation speed to a certain extent, which has attracted many martial artists to come here."

"Let's go! Let's go there!!"

Not wanting to attract too much attention, Yin Li waved his hand, and the giant ice serpent vanished.

brush!brush!
The two flew towards Yunquan City.

Deep beneath Yunquan City, a network of underground passages crisscrosses, with milky-white underground spring water flowing gently.

In an inconspicuous underground passage, the mist that permeates the area is not milky white, but a thick and eerie blood-red color. Even the spring water is blood-red, like a river of blood!
Within the River of Blood, a colossal blood shadow flickered in and out of sight, rising and falling with the current.
