The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 333 The Prodigy Ranking

The North Sea, with its vast blue waves, has been completely sealed off by the human army, which has moved from the sky to the surface and then to the seabed!
One after another, grand formations, divine restrictions, fleets, and a total of five million elite human cultivators have transformed this place into an impregnable fortress.

The Serpent Emperor and his cronies could no longer move an inch.

Because, in the sky, there were always clusters of pale, dark clouds, locked in, ready at any moment.

The war lasted for sixty years, during which the Immortal Alliance mobilized all its elite forces. The human race paid a heavy price for this. Wu Shui City in the Southern Wilderness and Shan Hai City in the Eastern Wilderness were captured by the demon race, and even Xuanwu City in the Western Wilderness was in danger of being occupied.

For the past sixty years, there have been attacks, accusations, and rebukes. The people in the heartland of humanity have been filled with fear and trembling, and their angry curses could be heard even in the North Sea.

The Lu family was even branded as lackeys of the demon race and traitors to the human race.

But it was all worth it!

In order to annihilate the Serpent Emperor and lure it into the trap, who knows what price the three generations of the Lu family paid for this?
In order to lure it into the game, Lu Wuchen himself stepped into the game. He could be ruthless and use his own bloodline descendants as bait!
"The four hidden dragon formations should be broken now. Hehe, that Snake Emperor probably won't understand where his hidden dragons went even when he's about to die. Senior brother, after this battle, the human race's mission to mend the heavens will surely be accomplished!"

Lu Wuchen, Liu Wujiu, and another vice leader of the Immortal Alliance were chatting and laughing happily atop the clouds, all seemingly in good spirits.

"Yes, over the past few hundred years, Brother Wuchen has borne too much infamy. Sometimes, you and I have to follow the trend and curse him. But fortunately, the truth will soon come out and the trend will be settled."

The vice leader stroked his beard and laughed. In the past hundred years, he had been the most vocal critic, and had even repeatedly proposed motions within the Immortal Alliance to remove Lu Wuchen from his position as vice leader.

They were practically sworn enemies with Lu Wuchen, but who would have thought they were just putting on an act?

"Speaking of which, I'm still curious to this day, Brother Wuchen, how did you manage to deceive the Serpent Emperor? It was so well hidden, and it had Dragon Island in its possession, so it could teleport at any time. As long as it lay dormant, we really had no way to deal with it."

Lu Wuchen remained silent for a long while, a faint sadness flashing across his eyes.

After a long while, he sighed softly.

"Actually, it's nothing much. The Serpent Emperor is just too greedy. Each of its four daughters is comparable to the strongest first-grade demon emperor. If they were like that stone demon and just lay low, who could do anything to them? But it insists on wanting to recreate the glory of the dragon era. It simply doesn't understand, it just doesn't understand..."

Lu Wuchen didn't continue, but his face showed unconcealed sorrow. To win against fate, one must get involved. How could he deceive the Dragon Girl's heart if he didn't give his true love?

Now, he seems to have won everything, but also seems to have lost everything.

His only solace was that he had raised those two children to adulthood.

But this also meant that the Serpent Emperor's two hidden dragons were ruined.

If the Serpent Emperor can sense that they are still alive, he will believe that he still has two trump cards and will be willing to believe that they will suddenly rise up one day in order to complete his great and tragic plan.

Yes, the Serpent Emperor has been hovering over the North Sea. It doesn't want to escape; it just wants to create a big event. It wants to exchange one Serpent Emperor for four true dragons! As long as the four hidden dragons are in place.

This is why Lu Wuchen pretended not to know, even though he knew that Wushui City and Shanhai City would be captured, and that the Five Poisons of Xuantie City would fall and awaken at any time.

In fact, no one in this world can kill the Serpent Emperor, not even Lu Wuchen, nor the jailer—Lu Ji, the ancestor of the Lu family who often made him kill people in his dreams!
The only thing that can kill it is itself.

But it didn't know that in this world, only Shenwu remained as a hidden dragon. He was alone and couldn't support the world. Moreover, because of the great distance, he couldn't inherit much of the Serpent Emperor's legacy.

As for that Xiong Wu, he's nothing but a hidden dragon! That's just a facade. His uncle, Yue Shan, is the real hidden dragon. He possesses almost 90% of the Serpent Emperor's bloodline essence and is Xiong Pi's grandson!

Therefore, even though Yue Shan cultivated human techniques, he was still able to achieve the ninth place on the Prodigy Ranking. Otherwise, if he cultivated both innate and acquired skills, who knows how terrifying he would be!
The dragon race should be exterminated, at least here.

Once he refines a Grade 4 Five Elements Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill, he will be qualified to become a jailer, just like his ancestor Lu Ji.

However, his ambitions were even greater.

He didn't want to be a prison guard; the world was so big, he wanted to see it.

Why should outsiders be allowed to come and go as they please, under the guise of "experience"?

Why should they be trapped here forever, generation after generation?

They also have to follow the so-called will of heaven and create some plots to make things difficult for those who are undergoing trials.
The list of prodigies, haha, prodigies are just people who are trampled on by outsiders, trying to find a sense of existence.

The Serpent Emperor didn't understand, it didn't comprehend, so they weren't on the same path.

Therefore, there needs to be enough prisoners who are strong enough, rebellious enough, and full of a spirit of resistance and questioning towards everything.

At the very least, we cannot be like Pig Intestine and Turtle, meekly and submissive, thinking that if we obediently hide in Shamen Village, we will be let off the hook!

"Yueshan, Wudu, you must not let me down!"

Lu Wuchen gazed southwards, hundreds of thousands of miles away. The Five Poisons must be attacking more and more frequently, and the symptoms must be getting more and more severe.

Did he know that the Five Poisons Spiritual Energy, which he believed to have discovered and promoted, was actually the best antidote to break the seal on the Yue Mountain bloodline?
At the same time, it can make the blood and qi of Yueshan become strong and powerful in the shortest time, as if it has gained a thousand years of cultivation in an instant.

Lu Wuchen was not worried that things would go astray.

Because the bloodline of the Serpent Emperor attracts itself, and this is especially true for the more concentrated and pure the bloodline.

Without crossing the mountain, Wudu would not have taken the final step. Even if he fell ill, he could control it and maintain basic rationality.

Without the Five Poisons, Yue Shan's bloodline seal would never be broken, and he would always remain the rational Yue Shan. Only when the two of them are together, and due to some random changes in the external world, will that balance be broken.

Two traitors, two powerful traitors with their own ideas who would not obey the Serpent Emperor's orders but were able to obtain the Serpent Emperor's legacy!
"If we can escape from this prison, I hope that my son and I can reconcile one day."

In Cloud Peak City, Grandpa Huang ultimately failed to fulfill his promise to give the strange item.

After resting for a day, Wang Wu was taken by Songpizi to a teleportation array.

A total of 327 people have gathered here, and they are all young people who are trying to climb the rankings on the Prodigy List.

They belong to the younger generation of the Cloud Peak Nine Cities Alliance.

At this moment, Grandpa Huang walked over and personally hung a jade plaque engraved with the character "nine" on Wang Wu's waist. Obviously, this meant that he was ninth on the list of geniuses.

This immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the young people nearby, as if they had encountered an idol.

He's still too young and impatient.

Wang Wu noticed that some of them were also wearing similar jade pendants. The highest-ranking one was ranked eighteenth, while the lowest-ranking one was only ranked two hundred and seventy-fourth.

Overall, including Wang Wu, the Yunding Nine Cities Alliance only has fourteen members who can break into the top 300 of the Prodigy Ranking, which is indeed a bit few.

However, there are some who cannot participate, such as the Five Poisons, and some who are over the age limit, such as Zhenhai, who once ranked forty-seventh on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

Take Feng Yang for example. Although he is not yet old enough, he does not want to humiliate himself. His best result last time was 147th place.

In short, unless they are vying for a place in the top ten, the rest are mostly young people under two hundred years old.

In fact, young people who are over 100 or under 200 years old are aiming for a top 50 position. Otherwise, they wouldn't lower themselves to compete for a lower ranking if they weren't confident.

This has become a customary rule.

“Young Master Shan, once you enter the battlefield, you will be subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, this supreme treasure. No one can cheat, and no one can take shortcuts. You have participated once before, so I won’t go into the details. There is only one thing you need to pay attention to: as the ninth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, no matter what you choose, you must fight at least three matches.”

"That means you need to accept challenges from newcomers first to maintain your ninth position, and then you can challenge others. After you successfully challenge someone, you need to hold onto that position before accepting challenges from others again."

"If you're lucky, three games will be enough; if you're unlucky, you might have to play five."

Don't put too much pressure on yourself!

After saying that, Grandpa Huang handed Wang Wu a small golden cauldron filled with pure spiritual liquid, the kind that could be drunk three hundred times in one go. It was truly a good thing.

Soon, those who were not participating in the Heavenly Pride Ranking competition stepped back, and Wang Wu and the other participants stepped into the teleportation array. However, this time the teleportation array was operating differently, because it was obvious that the area being teleported to was in the sky.

"call out"

With a flash of white light, Wang Wu appeared in an unfamiliar airspace, at least a thousand kilometers above the ground, but he could still see the giant cities, mountains, rivers, continents and oceans on the ground.

Wang Wu's bloodline is a fusion of the Snow Wolf General's bloodline. Although it is not as powerful as the Wolf's Gaze Divine Power, his eyesight is still amazing. If combined with his level 15 spiritual essence and danger perception, he can see whether a fly is male or female from a thousand kilometers away.

Of course, it's not needed most of the time, and doing so would consume a lot of resources.

Beneath his feet was a massive, circular array of unknown size.

However, looking at this circular array, Wang Wu thought of the large circular array that appeared when Pig Intestine and Old Turtle were taken away by the Heavenly Tribulation in the Evil Wind Desert.

Are they the same thing?

Upon realizing this, he immediately looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, in the higher, deeper black sky, he could vaguely see statues—statues, I suppose.

can not see clearly.

Wang Wu thought for a moment, then activated his level 15 spiritual essence and slightly enhanced his danger perception. This time, he could finally see a little more clearly, although it was still somewhat blurry...

These statues were enormous; some resembled stone demons, some ancient trees, and some were giant dragons...

But besides that, Wang Wu also saw many human statues.

There are also statues of demons, and one statue in particular looks more and more like pig intestines.

"So it's not just the dragon race, or the monster race, or the spirit race, but even the top-ranking human cultivators are being captured and bled out to become spiritual essence?"

Wang Wu was stunned by the truth.

But he couldn't help but make that connection, because back in Shamen Village, Lu Wuchen's projection was utterly cold-blooded and ruthless, directly capturing Yu Chi Qianshan, one of his most important allies.

Wang Wu suddenly understood something. Would the geniuses on the list of geniuses today also be dragged up and bled dry in the future?
