Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 377: Intersection, Battle for the Heavenly Ranking

"Lin Yuan, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave today!"

After putting away the "Order of Tianji", Yao Ling slowly stood up, bowed to Lin Yuan, and said goodbye.

After a moment of hesitation, she added, "Thank you for inviting me to join the Seven Star Mysterious Lady Society! I will abide by the relevant agreements and never disclose any matters related to the Seven Star Organization to others..."

"It's a small matter, I just accepted someone's request." Lin Yuan waved his hand and chuckled, "Seven Star Lords, the seven most outstanding women of our time, I am looking forward to what kind of sparks will collide between you.

In his words, he did not hide his attitude of just having fun.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling looked at him deeply, then moved and turned into a stream of blue light, instantly disappearing into the night.

Looking at the direction where she disappeared, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of greed emerged in his deep eyes.

"We already have a long-term communication channel. We have the basic conditions for setting up a trap to capture her in advance! Next, we can let Xiao Yixian have a good 'communication' with her, find out her personality and details, and then design the subsequent capture operation."

"What is so special about the soul qualifications of those who have reached the Emperor of Hope Realm compared to ordinary people... It really makes me curious."

He let out a light breath, suppressed the burning light in his eyes, gently shook the teacup in his hand, and then drank the tea in the cup.

Afterwards, he slowly stood up and walked towards Little Medical Fairy's room while sending a message to the 'Yuheng Order'.

"Xun'er, I will arrange a meeting between you and Xiao Yan the day after tomorrow."
-
The next morning, the morning light was just breaking.

In the courtyard where everyone in Danta rests, there is an antique and elegant room. The room is filled with the scent of incense, ink and flowers, interweaving to outline a tranquil and elegant picture.

The soft sunlight shines through the half-closed gauze curtains, dappling into the room, illuminating the young man and woman in front of the dressing table.

"I've finished drawing! Haha, it's really good, worthy of me!"

Looking at the beautiful lady's delicate and charming eyebrows, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up with a smug smile, "Little Medical Fairy, open your eyes and see, my eyebrow-drawing skills... have they improved a lot?"

As he spoke, he confidently put away his eyebrow pencil and gently pinched the slender hand of the woman in the white dress on his leg.

Hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lin Yuan very gently, and then turned her gaze to the smooth mirror in front of her.

What comes into view is her face as gentle as water reflected in the mirror, her eyebrows like distant mountains covered with smoke, her eyes like autumn water, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms, her red lips slightly parted, like a fairy in a painting, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

After last night's nourishment and this morning's description, the little medical fairy at this moment exudes an alluring charm that is a mixture of tenderness and purity.

"Okay, great!"

The little medical fairy looked at herself in the mirror carefully, then smiled sweetly, closed her eyes again, leaned back slightly, and snuggled in Lin Yuan's arms, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that made her intoxicated.

After a long time, she opened her eyes again when she heard the familiar footsteps in the distance, and slowly stood up from Lin Yuan's legs.

"Zi Yan and the others are here, it's time for us to get out!"

Pulling Lin Yuan up from the chair, the Little Medical Fairy took his arm and said with a smile: "At this hour, the Martial Arts Ceremony Heavenly Ranking Competition will begin soon..."

"Well, let's go." Lin Yuan nodded slightly and led the Little Medical Fairy out. "By the way, the matter of the medicine spirit..."

"Don't worry, just leave this to me!" Little Medical Fairy smiled confidently and said calmly, "If it's true as you said last night, then she is indeed a smart person. She is also wary of you and the Seven Stars Organization, but after all, she has little experience in the world and is still immature."

"As a woman, I need to gain her trust and information... that's not too difficult!"
-
Not long after, Lin Yuan and his party arrived at the stands in the square, ready to watch the game.

"I hereby declare that the Heaven Ranking Contest... begins!"

With the sound of a melodious bell, the Martial Arts Ceremony Heavenly Ranking Competition... was announced to begin.

The format and process of this Heavenly Ranking Competition are basically the same as those of the Earthly Ranking Competition the day before. The preliminaries and the first round of competitions must be completed on the first day to select the top eight, and the host is the Ninth Elder Lei Xuan.

Overall, there were not too many surprises in this event, and it was generally quite satisfactory.

However, the strength of the Soul Clan was once again confirmed.

Among the sixteen people who passed the Morel Tower preliminaries, there were six from the Soul Clan, three from the Ancient Clan, two from the Thunder Clan, two from the Flame Clan, one from the Medicine Clan, one from the Stone Clan, and one from the Spirit Clan.

This result made all the tribes feel disappointed.

Judging from the results, the Soul Clan not only has top-level geniuses with divine bloodlines, but also many geniuses who can be called the backbone of the future.

What was even more dejected than the six ancient clans of Gu, Lei, Yan, Yao, Shi and Ling were the major forces in Zhongzhou - none of the major sects representing the top forces in Zhongzhou made it through the preliminaries of the Heavenly Ranking!

Among the contestants from various sects in Zhongzhou, there are only a few who can break through to the Dou Zun level under the age of 40!
Those who have broken through to the Dou Zun level are mostly one or two star Dou Zun. Among them, Yun Yun, who broke through the seal with the help of Lin Yuan and reached the three star Dou Zun level, can be said to be outstanding.

The person with the highest cultivation level is only a four-star Dou Zun. According to Xuan Kongzi, this person comes from a Dou Sheng-level hidden sect - Xuanling Sect, and he is nearly forty years old.

Among the contestants from the ancient clans, there were many who were above the five-star Dou Zun level. At this moment, the gap between the geniuses from the various clans in Zhongzhou and the geniuses from the major ancient clans was exposed to everyone, causing the geniuses from the various clans to lower their heads involuntarily.

At this moment, they realized their own insignificance, and looked at Lin Yuan with a bit more surprise in their eyes - what kind of monstrosity is this person to be able to enter the finals?

Lin Yuan responded indifferently to everyone's gazes and just looked quietly at the battle list on the stone tablet.

"The Ancient Clan contestants' opponents are all from the Soul Clan." Lin Yuan tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, thinking to himself: "Sure enough, this list of opponents is not a coincidence, but the Thunder Clan is intentionally fanning the flames between the Soul and Ancient Clans..."

"They are so careful. It seems that the relationship between the ancient clans is more subtle than I thought."

As his thoughts wandered, the first round of the Heavenly Ranking Competition... began!

After eight consecutive fierce battles, the top eight on the Heavenly Ranking were finally decided.

Among the contestants who made it into the quarterfinals: there were four from the Soul Clan; the others were one from the Ancient Clan, one from the Thunder Clan, one from the Flame Clan, and one from the Stone Clan.

Although these battles were also quite exciting and the intensity of the battles was no less than that of the Earth Ranking Battles, compared with the Earth Ranking Battles, the Heaven Ranking Battles can only be said to be mediocre and lack some unexpected highlights.

However, there is still something worthy of attention, that is, among the six people from the Soul Clan participating in the competition, there are two with ninth-grade bloodlines, which makes other clans jealous.

How could the Soul Clan be so powerful when they have never been involved in human affairs?
In addition, the player from the Medicine Clan who had the advantage in cultivation but was defeated by the counter-attack proved one thing - not all alchemists are good at fighting, and not being able to fight is the norm!
In Lin Yuan's opinion, the winner of this Heavenly Ranking Battle will probably be decided by the Ancient and Soul Clans.

Although the bloodline of the top eight contestant of the Ancient Clan is not as good as the ninth-grade bloodline of the Soul Clan, he is obviously much older than the latter. It is said that he is nearly forty years old, so he has a considerable advantage in cultivation.

But considering the weirdness of the Soul Clan, the outcome is still uncertain.

"Let's go too. There shouldn't be anything interesting to see next!" Lin Yuan stood up from his seat, said goodbye to Xuan Kongzi, glanced at Gu Xun'er and Yao Ling, then turned around and went back the way they came with Xiao Yixian and his group.

He has already made his judgment on the Heavenly Ranking competition, so there is no need to waste time coming here to watch it tomorrow.

In a corner of the square, Hun Yu stared at Lin Yuan's departing back and subconsciously touched the wound on his body. His eyes flashed with a bone-chilling coldness.

"Lin Yuan, ah Lin Yuan, that was really dangerous yesterday! Hehe, don't think that our grudge will end here..."

With a sinister smile, he slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

On the side, Hun Feng glanced at Hun Yu, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he raised his eyes to look in the direction where Lin Yuan left, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Being able to defeat Hun Yu with one move, Medicine Lord Lin Yuan... is a strong opponent, and I need to prepare myself well.
-
As the sun sets, the blood-red sun hangs obliquely in the sky, releasing the last of its heat to the earth.

Lin Yuan and his group returned to the courtyard where they rested. The quiet atmosphere made everyone feel relieved after a noisy day. Then, he greeted Xiao Yixian and the others, and then entered the secret room alone.

Although the heavenly fighting skill gifted by Zi Yan has been successfully practiced, it still requires some deductions on specific combat methods and perfecting its coordination with the power of the ancient dragon.

In the secret room, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, forming mysterious seals with his hands, and the space was twisted into a mysterious arc.

A few hours later, a message came from the Skynet: "Lin Yuan, as you said, I will not go to the venue tomorrow! I hope you can arrange the meeting between me and Brother Xiao Yan, and don't let Gu Yao and the others find out about this meeting."

After receiving the message, Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, I have a plan for this matter. Wait at home tomorrow!"

Afterwards, he ended the communication and continued to study the heavenly level fighting skills.
-
Tianlei Mountains, the resting place for the ancient clan.

In an elegant room, Gu Xun'er flipped her hand and put the "Yuheng Order" in her palm into the storage ring, with a strong look of expectation in her eyes: "Brother Xiao Yan, finally, Xun'er can tell you the good news!"

All in all, she and Xiao Yan had been separated for nearly two years. She was finally able to express her longing for him and tell him some news and difficulties.

"Miss, Miss Yao Ling is here to visit you. Do you want to accept this meeting request?" Just as Gu Xun'er was excited, the maid's respectful voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside the door.

"Yao Ling, are you here?" Hearing the conversation between the maids, her eyes lit up and she said seriously, "She is my honored guest. Please invite her to the stone pavilion in the courtyard for a while."

As she spoke, she took out a red silk ribbon, tied it up, and then walked to the stone pavilion in the yard and sat down.

Led by the maid, the blue-haired girl soon stepped into the courtyard and instantly saw the girl in green skirt in the pavilion.

The two looked at each other, their eyes fell on each other's arms, and after confirming the red ribbon on each other's arms, they smiled knowingly at the same time.

"Hello, Miss Xun'er!" Yao Ling walked over to sit opposite Xun'er and said softly, "It seems that the matter has been confirmed. In this case, I will get straight to the point. When we discuss matters through the Seven Stars Path in the future, perhaps we should agree on a set of codes in advance."

"Secret code?" Xun'er raised her eyebrows, and then there was a hint of praise in her voice: "As expected of the Medicine Clan's proud daughter, you are indeed thorough in your actions..."

"Miss Xun'er, you flatter me!"

Yao Ling smiled and took out a notebook from her ring and handed it over: "Here are some codes I designed yesterday, you may want to take a look! By the way, let's modify and improve them together..."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er took the letter and read it carefully.
