BXBX NOVEL Chapter 743: 744
The old beggar suddenly asked.
“In the three realms of Immortals, there is one list for each: the Human Immortal Ranking List, the Earth Immortal List, and the Immortal Ranking. These three lists are for disciple-level rankings. Once you attain sainthood, you cannot be measured by these lists. They are also directly issued by the Heavenly Dao. As long as you defeat the cultivators on the list, you can immediately take their place,”
“Each time the ranking list is updated, the true words materialize in the firmament for all to see.”
Prince Yan said.
“Has your Great Flame Dynasty’s King Weiwu ever been on the list?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“Not yet. King Weiwu has only recently entered the Earth Immortal Realm and has not yet been able to challenge those on the list.”
Prince Yan was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected that the other party had already encountered King Weiwu.
“Very well, you may go,”
Li Xiaobai took out the Purple Gold Gourd and, without another word, sucked Prince Yan back into it.
“Woof, kid, Lord Ergouzi needs to accumulate merit. Hurry up and find me a scripture to comprehend!” Ergouzi barked.
“Giggle, I want to kill. I want to become a unique hero with a million Sin Value. Kid, hurry up and release everyone from the gourd for me to clean up!” Ji Wuqing jumped up and said as well.
“Surely not. Your weak self can’t even make them lose blood when you hit them,”
Li Xiaobai scorned and then led the team off to the south.
…
The Demonic Beast mountain range was very quiet, and they walked for a long time without seeing any trace of demonic beasts. This was normal, as the deeper they went, the stronger the cultivation level of the demonic beasts, and naturally, their numbers were fewer.
Most of the demonic beasts were gathered on the periphery, where one could easily encounter them if they just walked around. That would indicate that they had really left the core area.
The group moved silently with high alertness, scrutinizing their surroundings and vigilant against any slight movement in the wind or grass.
As they walked, they faintly heard the sound of combat.
Li Xiaobai gestured for silence, and the group slowly approached, crouching in the bushes to peer out.
In a small clearing within the jungle, a small team was entangled in a battle with a tiger-striped demonic beast. The Tiger Demon had a dagger stuck in one of its legs, cutting deep into the bone; blood spurted ceaselessly.
The leader among the cultivators was of Human Immortal Realm cultivation level. The rest were at the Half-step Human Immortal Realm. They were not relentlessly pursuing the fierce tiger but using a strategy to gradually deepen the Tiger Demon’s injuries, demonstrating great coordination.
“Quick, it’s weakening, block this beast’s retreat!”
The leader shouted, and the offensive of his longsword suddenly intensified, driving the fierce tiger to retreat in defeat.
“Good heavens, they fight with such flair and color,”
The old beggar rubbed his teeth, clicking his tongue in admiration.
“Hehe, just a few weak chickens. Kid, you take the little leader; leave the rest to us. Let’s take them down!”
Kraken’s eyes gleamed, as it was most adept at killing and robbing. They had just arrived and were in need of Immortal Stones; it was the perfect opportunity to make a small fortune by robbing them.
“Woof, time to collect pets!”
“Giggle, time to collect pets!”
Both Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Wait, look over there!”
Liuren hushed everyone, pointing gently at the opposite bushes. Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the pointing finger, only to see the bushes on the other side twitching unnaturally.
Clearly, there were also people hiding on the other side, and there were quite a few of them.
“Well, well, everyone is squatting in a hiding spot!”
“Thinking of playing the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole lies in wait?”
The Old Beggar exclaimed in surprise, indeed encountering nothing but crafty and scheming people within the laws.
“They probably don’t just want to pick up what’s left. If we rush out now, it will inevitably lead to a fight to the death. Killing these cultivators wouldn’t benefit them; it would only increase their Sin Value. They likely want to wait for the tiger demon to kill a few more cultivators before they reap the benefits of the fisherman,” the Old Beggar analyzed.
“Let’s stay calm and use stillness to control motion!”
Li Xiaobai said lightly.
“Heh heh, now we’ve become the orioles. I like this feeling. We’ll give them a nasty surprise soon!”
Kraken let out a sinister laugh, his eyes filled with malice. Those squatting in the bushes couldn’t be masters; at best, they would be cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm. He was not worried in the slightest.
In a moment, he planned to teach them the first lesson in socialism, educating them on how to behave properly!
In the arena,
the tiger demon was on its last legs, trying to burst forth one last time. However, the cultivators instantly scattered and created distance. Attempts to flee were futile as the enemy clung to them like a parasitic worm.
This kite-flying tactic swiftly turned the tiger demon into an exhausted force, devoid of any power to resist, a lamb to the slaughter.
“It’s done, kill it!”
The leading cultivator, seeing the loss of the tiger demon’s will to fight, suddenly shouted loudly.
The rest intensified their offensive, and in a moment, the head of the tiger demon was chopped off.
“Hahaha, success!”
“We’ve killed the tiger demon and completed the trial of our clan!”
“Yeah, this is a mid-stage Human Immortal Realm tiger demon. If we bring its carcass and inner core back, we’ll become Outer Sect Disciples of the Great Flame Dynasty!”
The faces of several young men and women were overflowing with joy as they began to collect the demonic beast’s materials without hesitation.
But at that moment, a sudden blaze of fiery flame erupted from the surrounding grass, catching everyone but the leading Earth Immortal cultivator off guard and causing them heavy injuries.
“Thank you all for slaying this demonic beast for me. You may die now!”
Several figures walked out from the grass, all dressed in uniform attire with white clothes and red edges, and a fiery red auspicious cloud was particularly conspicuous on their sleeves.
The leader was a young man with an arrogant demeanor, speaking authoritatively, “Kill them!”
“The Great Flame Dynasty!”
“You are a disciple of the Great Flame Dynasty!”
“You can’t kill us, we have completed the assessment of the Great Flame Dynasty and are about to become Outer Sect Disciples!”
The young men and women were filled with shock and anger, wondering why, after expending so much effort to kill that tiger demon, they were suddenly bereft of the strength to deal with these new adversaries.
“Heh, you aren’t Great Flame Dynasty Disciples yet, are you?”
“The world of cultivation is survival of the fittest; only the strong survive. This truth is the same everywhere. Today, I shall teach you this lesson, to reveal the cruelty of this world to you. If you are reincarnated in the next life, you’d better be wiser!”
The sneering young leader mocked.
“Our young lord is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Great Flame Dynasty and is on good terms with the seventh Princely Heir. Killing you all would be as easy as squashing an ant!”
“Hurry up and take your own lives, so you won’t dirty our young lord’s hands!”
The disciples of the Great Flame Dynasty stated indifferently, utterly dismissive of the group.
