Chapter 194 – The Approaching Ranking Battle

Xuan Heaven’s most precious treasure, ranked first!

When a mortal holds it, he will slaughter the gods and destroy the heavens!

Every word of description about this Heaven Execution Beginning Sword gave one a deep shock to the soul. It was like a mythical sword from myths and legends, powerful, and so ethereal that it shouldn’t exist at all.

As the same Xuan Heavenly Supreme Treasure, the power of the Heavenly Poison Bead was more than clear to Yun Che. A Heavenly Poison Pearl in his body had allowed him, whose strength could only be considered mid-range at first, to roam across the Cang Yun Continent for seven whole years, exterminating countless strong people who were far superior to him. The core ability of the Heavenly Poison Bead is not in the destruction, it is already so horrible, ranked first in the Heavenly Exorcist Sword, its power is simply unimaginable.

In the hands of mortals can be slaughtered God to destroy the sky obviously some exaggeration, but also enough to highlight its extreme power.

“Why do you want me to search for this sword?” Yun Che asked in shock.

“Because ……” The voice of the Swift Ancient Canglong suddenly became sad: “Because inside the Heaven Execution Beginner Sword, my daughter is sealed! Her body and soul are sealed into that sword!”

Yun Che: “Your …… daughter?”

Jasmine: “……!!!”

“After the destruction of the gods, the Heaven Execution Initiate Sword never appeared again. I longed for it to be found and feared it being found. Because if it is not found, my daughter will be sealed in that sword forever, suffering eternal darkness and loneliness, but if that sword is found …… if the person who gets the Heaven Execution Beginner Sword harbors the slightest hint of greed and wickedness in his heart, and after he unseals it, my daughter will become that person’s cauldron… . after all, my daughter has an intact Dragon God bloodline!!!”

“Then you asked me to find that sword for ……”

The Taikoo Canglong’s voice was heavy as he said, “I believe in your character, you are a person who can be trusted, if that sword falls into your hands, I believe that my daughter can be saved.”

Yun Che smiled to himself and said, “Swire Canglong, I’m not trying to reject this request of yours, it’s just that …… you really think too highly of me. The place you mentioned, I have never even heard of it, much less know where it is. Moreover, according to what you said, that is the place with the highest level of power in the world, and the people there carry all sorts of True God power, and have been passed down through countless generations, I am only a small True Xuan Realm Xuanist, that place, that level that you are talking about, is just too far away for me, it’s unknown whether or not I will be able to get out of the Cangfeng Empire in my lifetime, and it’s simply impossible for me to reach that place that you are talking about. ”

“I understand,” the Swift Ancient Canglong said slowly, “The difficulty of this request I’m making is far greater than climbing to heaven. I am not qualified to ask you to definitely reach it, I am simply hoping that if there is that day when you really set foot in the Realm of the Gods, I hope that you can attempt to look for the Heaven Executing Beginner Sword, and if you never set foot outside of this continent in your entire life, then you can forget what I said forever.”

The most important reason why the Taikoo Canglong had made this astonishing request to Yun Che was because of Jasmine’s existence. Without Jasmine, it was indeed impossible for Yun Che to have the slightest intersection with that world, or even know of that world’s existence for the rest of his life. However, Jasmine’s life was now dependent on him, and all of the divine power in his body also came from Jasmine, so whether or not he would set foot in that world someday was no longer a proposition that could only be answered in the negative.

When Taikoo Canglong said this, Yun Che naturally had nothing else to say, and nodded his head earnestly as he replied, ”Alright, I have memorized all of your words. If there really is a day when I reach that place, I will definitely try to look for that sword you mentioned ……If I really find it, I will more than likely do my best to look for a way to unseal it, so that your daughter can see the light of day again.”

“…… Your voice is sincere and genuine, and your soul doesn’t even have a single tremor, I really didn’t look at you wrong. Thank you for this promise.” The Tai Gu Canglong comfortably said, “My Dragon God clan never owes anyone, I won’t let you make this promise in vain …… This wisp of my residual soul is dependent on the Dragon God’s blood and exists, opening up the secret realm of the trial and sacrificing the Dragon God’s blood has caused me to wear out drastically, and this remnant of my soul, at the most, can still be maintained for three years. And this, too, is the last of my soul, the remnant souls I left elsewhere have all dissipated after completing my inheritance, and I had wanted to leave all of my last things to you, but naturally, your current level of strength is too low, and even with the protection of the Evil God’s and the Desolate God’s divine power, you simply can’t withstand it.”

“I will wait for you for three years, if you reach the Earth Xuan Realm within three years, then come back to this place to look for me, and I will bestow upon you my last ‘Dragon God’s Marrow’ and ‘Dragon God’s Soul’! ”

“But I can only wait for you for three years, and after three years, everything about me, except for my attachments, will go up in smoke.”

Dragon God’s Marrow, Dragon God’s Soul …… No matter what it is, as long as it is tainted with the word “Dragon God”, even if it’s just a single hair that falls off of the Dragon God’s body, it’s bound to be something extremely powerful. With such a temptation, Yun Che of course had no way to resist: ”Good! I will definitely reach the level of …… within three years, no! In two years at most, I will reach the Earth Xuan Realm! At that time, I will definitely be the first to come looking for you.”

“Hehe, good …… good.”

The Taikoo Canglong happily agreed, and with that, its pale blue pupils slowly disappeared in the sky above.

The darkness around Yun Che quickly dissipated, and a dim light appeared. Yun Che glanced around and realized that he had already returned to the center of the Death Wasteland, in that dark cave.

“It’s time for you to be able to leave, remember what I said, when you reach the Earth Xuan Realm, you must come back to me. I’m not doing this for your sake, but for the sake of my daughter to gain one more point of hope.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget such a great favor.” Yun Che replied.

“Then next, are you going to return to that place you mentioned before?”

Yun Che looked towards the exit of the cave, feeling the power surging through his body at that moment, his fists clenched tightly, and he said cautiously, “The immediate thing to do is, of course, to walk out of the center of this Death Wasteland alive!”

The center of the Death Wasteland was the realm of the Heavenly Xuan Beasts, and a little further out, the realm of the Earthly Xuan Beasts. He had Chu Yuechan’s shelter when he arrived, but now he was only alone. To the current Yun Che, these two major areas were undoubtedly terrifying, step-by-step places of death.

Walking out of the Death Wasteland was almost as difficult a test for him as the Dragon God Trial. However, this “test” did not make Yun Che fearful at all. His Xuan Power had crossed six levels in seven consecutive days, and he was in need of a lot of battles to stabilize his surging power.

“I wish you all the best.”

Yun Che smiled and nodded his head as he bid farewell to the Swift Ancient Cang Dragon, then took a deep breath and rushed towards the cave’s exit, stepping into the Deadly Wasteland that was filled with crises…….

Time passed, and without realizing it, the date of the Cang Feng Qualifying Battle was getting closer and closer.

The Cangfeng Qualifying Battle, which used to be held once every ten years, had now been compressed to once every three years, and although it was held slightly more frequently, the importance attached to it by all the major sects had not been reduced in the slightest.

The results of the Cangfeng Qualifying Battle determine the level of a clan. The most authoritative way to prove one’s strength was to obtain a good ranking in the Pale Wind Ranking Battle. If an originally nameless sect rose to prominence in the Ranking Battle and made it into the top 100, then the sect would definitely become famous overnight, and the number of disciples who went to pay homage to the sect would become countless.

For those clans that stood at the peak, the ranking position was even more important to them, as it determined the position and face of the clan in the next three years.

The ranking position was only part of the reason why the great sects valued the Cangfeng Qualifying Battle, the other reasons were: firstly, the disciples who won the top ten places in the Qualifying Battle would be rewarded with abundant and incomparable rewards, especially the rewards for the top three places, which came from the Heavenly Mighty Sword Domain among the four holy lands, a treasure that was hard to buy with 10,000 pieces of gold, and that even the top sects in the Cangfeng Empire couldn’t even come up with! Secondly, the top ten clans in the qualifying battle would be qualified to explore the “Heavenly Pool Secret Realm” that opened once every three years.

This “Heavenly Pond Secret Realm” was also the most important thing for all the sects.

The only reason why the Cangfeng Ranking Battle had been compressed into a three-year cycle was that the opening time of the “Heavenly Pond Secret Realm” had been shortened from once every ten years to five years, and then to three years.

So far, no one knows where the “Heavenly Pond Secret Realm” comes from, only rumors that it is at least Jun Xuan realm of some super strong people in a long time ago to open up an independent space, in some reason led to the Cangfeng empire, but what is its real origin is not important, “Heavenly Pond Secret Realm ” had countless treasures lurking in it, there was no doubt about that. Every time the disciples of the sects that entered it would return home fully loaded. Moreover, although this “Heavenly Pond Secret Realm” had been opened many times, no one had ever reached the edge, and everyone believed that the greatest treasure hidden in this secret realm had yet to be found.

As the date for the start of the Cangfeng Ranking Battle drew nearer and nearer, all of the major sects were preparing for it.

The Cang Feng Xuan Fu was likewise the same, it was only because of certain reasons that the preparations this time seemed extraordinarily rushed, there were still three days before the qualifying battle would begin, and there were already many sects on their way to the Heavenly Sword Villa, whereas the Cang Feng Xuan Fu, was still in the process of making the final selections of the participating disciples.

Under Cang Yue’s will, the inner courtyard selection that should have been held a month ago was delayed for more than half a whole month before starting.

It was only until this evening that the selection of the participating disciples was finally completed. Qin WuXian’s footsteps were hurried and he personally traveled to the Moon Ranging Palace where Cang Yue was located to inform Cang Yue of the results of the selection.

“Your Highness, the results of the Inner House selection have been released, and not surprisingly, it just so happens to be the top three in the Inner House Tianxuan Ranking.”

Cang Yue very calmly received the list handed over by Qin Wushang, but Qin Wushang could feel the sorrow …… and a kind of indifference bordering on heart death underneath her calmness, and let out a long sigh in his heart. He could only sigh, that Yun Che not only had a marvelous Xuan power talent, but even more so, he seemed to have some kind of magical power, actually making even Princess Cang Yue, who Burning Jade City had decidedly rejected, fall for it, and even fall to the point of willingly dying for it.

“Fang Feilong, Spirit Xuan realm second level, Feng Bufan, Spirit Xuan realm third level, Burning Jiecheng, Spirit Xuan realm fifth level ……,” Cang Yue lowly read the names on the list, and somewhat absentmindedly said: ”It turns out that it just so happens to be the top three of the Inner Mansion Heavenly Xuan Ranking! . If I remember correctly, when I returned to the palace eight months ago, Fang Feilong and Feng Bufan would have turned twenty, won’t their ages cross the line?”

“Don’t worry about this Your Highness, both Fang Feilong and Feng Bufan are still about a month short of turning twenty-one, still within the boundaries of the twenty year old age, I have also purposely tested their bone age with Xuan Stone, and they both show twenty years old as well.” Qin Wuhuang respectfully said.
