Chapter 259 The Immortal Ranking, Comparing People

Exhalation turns into rosy clouds, enveloping the mountains; sitting and discussing the Dao, the heavens and earth are clear.

In the East Sea there is a country named Zhenbao, and Zhenbao has a cluster of fairy islands.

The islands are shrouded in mist and clouds, isolating them from the outside world and making communication impossible. The only way to connect with the outside world is through three flying boats that take off from the islands each day and ascend into the sky.

There is an island in the Treasure Islands called Zong Island, which is the location of the Five Visceral Daoist Sect of the Treasure Kingdom.

On Zong Island, there is a group of strange peaks, and among the peaks is a summit, where a peerless master lives day and night, constantly breathing out azure clouds and practicing profound and wondrous skills.

Even today, the immortals continue to practice diligently, day and night, honing their profound skills.

Tweet!

Just as the azure clouds gathered again, a three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) wingspan eagle suddenly broke through the sky and flew down.

An eagle cuts through the azure sky and circles atop the summit of Zongshan Mountain.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Five Viscera Dao Sect on the mountainside were about to use their best skills to shoot down the reckless and unruly eagle, but they saw that Cangxia immediately subdued himself, and the Daoist on the summit stopped practicing and slowly got up.

The disciples tensed up immediately, but none of them dared to make a move.

"I am Yu Shuheng, Chief Scholar of the Myriad Laws Immortal Palace, greetings to the Battle Saint Venerable!"

It turned out that there was a person standing on the back of the eagle. This person was all alone, standing between heaven and earth as if he were merging with the sky. He could not be seen with the naked eye or detected by divine sense. He was truly extraordinary and different from the ordinary.

However, upon hearing this name, the disciples of the Five Viscera Dao Sect felt their hearts clench even more.

As the eagles circled, the name of the Myriad Laws Immortal Palace faded into obscurity.

Over the past century, the name of the Myriad Laws Immortal Palace has surpassed that of the Three Continents and Four Seas. Even though the Five Organs Dao Sect has accumulated a reputation for three thousand years, it is now firmly suppressed by this sect, just as the reputation of the current leader of the Five Organs Dao Sect, the Fighting Saint Venerable Seal, has been suppressed by the Myriad Laws Immortal Lord.

"There's still a year left, why are you in such a hurry?" Yin sighed and murmured.

Back then, they ventured into the Martial God Realm together, endured countless hardships, and finally obtained that opportunity, forging a deep friendship. However, they never expected that they would eventually part ways due to worldly matters.

He was deeply saddened and regretful, yet utterly helpless.

When the huge waves crashed in, he couldn't dodge them and could only drift with the current.

"Reporting to the Holy Venerable of Battle, the Immortal Lord sent me here to inquire whether you are ready."

After saying that, he flipped his hand and released a semi-transparent blue talisman.

"Drawing symbols in the air?"

The talisman hangs above the mountains, and when it looks down, it stirs up countless clouds and smoke.

The clouds and smoke were of various colors and shapes, turning into wisps of smoke that fell with a rustling sound, like endless falling leaves.

"He's always so impatient," Yin sighed.

Then a golden glow bloomed from the mountaintop, transforming into a curtain of light that enveloped the vast expanse of land and sky.

This golden light directly shattered the misty, cloud-shrouded realm outside the Treasure Kingdom Islands, and surged towards the distant lands.

The falling smoke threads vanished upon impact with the golden glow, and even the talisman dissipated. The eagle circling overhead cried out helplessly as it plummeted to the ground.

Yu Shuheng, the chief disciple from the Wanfa Immortal Palace, also turned pale. He felt as if a colossal beast was opening its massive jaws to devour him.

Faced with such supernatural power, he was powerless to resist, but he had to fight back with all his might.

"Old man, your era is over!"

But the roar in his heart could not be transformed into real power, and he could not break free from this enormous suction force.

The golden haze is a declaration, or rather, a declaration of war.

The Five Viscera Dao Sect's Battle Saint Venerable is ready to fulfill the century-old agreement.

Yu Shuheng eventually fell into the golden glow. No miracle occurred, and the Wanfa Immortal Palace did not send anyone to help. He turned into a cloud of golden dust and scattered it all over the mountains and fields.

The golden glow faded, the radiance dissipated, and Yin's figure was revealed on the mountaintop.

Then several people flew down from the foot of the mountain and landed beside him.

"Holy Venerable One." All the power that the Five Organs Dao Sect has accumulated over the years is here.

Three top-tier True Immortals, five mid-tier True Immortals, and seventeen ordinary True Immortals.

This division is because True Immortals are the limit of the human realm. Celestial Immortals, who are above them, can only ascend to the Immortal Realm. The True Immortal realm is further divided into nine ranks. Thus, some enthusiasts divided True Immortals of different ranks into nine categories: Ranks seven to nine are top-tier True Immortals, Ranks four to six are mid-tier True Immortals, and Ranks one to three are ordinary True Immortals.

The main reason is that the number of true immortals in the human realm is increasing these days...

Although the path to immortality is difficult to attain, the sheer size of the population—with millions of beings in the world—means that, apart from the present-day Xiniu Hezhou, almost all sentient beings are cultivators. With such a large pool of cultivators, even if only one in a million becomes a true immortal, the number of true immortals will still be considerable. In particular, true immortals are already immortal, living for thousands of years without dying. However, cultivation for true immortals is not easy; it can take thousands of years to advance even one rank. Therefore, few ascend to the immortal realm, while the number of those who become immortals increases daily.

This has resulted in the human world now being "overrun with immortals".

With more true immortals, there will be more battles of magic. Especially now that we are in the midst of a great calamity, true immortals will be blinded by the calamity's energy. Moreover, some true immortals were originally promoted to immortality by the calamity's energy, which further fuels the battles of magic in the human world.

In the midst of battles, there are naturally victories and defeats. Thus, some enthusiasts first divided a group of True Immortals into different levels based on their cultivation realms, and then created a list of Immortals, ranking those True Immortals with high battle records and cultivation levels.

Besides the list of gods, there are also the list of dragons and tigers, and the list of outstanding talents.

In short, there are certainly many people in the human world who enjoy themselves, especially some rogue immortal cultivators who are already long-lived but whose cultivation is difficult to improve, so they try to find ways to entertain themselves.

The Immortal Ranking is a list of immortals bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, which automatically includes the most outstanding figures in the world.

He placed this list of immortals directly on a celestial island in the four seas, setting up numerous powerful formations, making it quite difficult even for true immortals to break through.

Since this list of immortals was placed on the immortal island, anyone passing by in a boat could see it. Therefore, there was no need for this true immortal to announce the list to the public. Many busybodies monitored the changes in the list from time to time and then spread the word.

The person ranked first on the list of immortals is none other than the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws.

As for the second, it is the Battle Saint Venerable; the third is the Heavenly Demon of the Demon Race; the fourth is the Elf Emperor; and the fifth is the Little Barbarian Venerable of the Barbarian Race…

However, no one was convinced that the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws was far ahead and ranked first.

At first, challenges were common, but Immortal Lord Ning Hao was ruthless and cruel. Anyone who came to challenge him was either annihilated by him or had their cultivation directly erased and knocked to the dust. Under such methods, gradually no True Immortals sought to challenge him, and the world also knew that this rising star who had only been a True Immortal for a few hundred years was already a ninth-grade True Immortal.

Looking at the list of immortals, apart from the Elf Emperor, the top five are all rising stars, so they should all be true immortals of the ninth rank.

Those older generation of true immortals, looking at their first and second rank cultivation levels, were filled with regret and frustration.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!
