Chapter 571: 571: List of Monsters
He could not find that woman. Even if he asked others, they might not have the answers either.
But during his aimless stroll, he stumbled upon a massive ranking list!
The Wretched Beings of the Three Thousand Worlds!
Jiang Xiaobai had heard about this list before from that woman with pointed ears.
The entire list consists of ten thousand ranks, encapsulating the top ten thousand of all beings capable of entering the Battle God Space from the three thousand worlds!
The significance of this list is self-evident.
He didn’t go through the entire list, only glancing at the first place. The list included their name, gender, power level, and battle record!
The individual in first place was in the Late Stage of Great Achievement, not the peak stage.
But his battle record was something that Jiang Xiaobai found astoundingly impressive.
A hundred thousand battles!
A hundred thousand! Really?!
What kind of concept is that?
How long had this person been training and battling within the Battle God Space?
What’s even more terrifying is that his win rate was around seventy percent!
That means, out of a hundred thousand battles, he won seventy thousand times!
Jiang Xiaobai himself had only fought slightly over seventeen thousand battles, which was already quite taxing for him.
And that was only because he had initially swept through the lower ranks to amass points.
If not for that, with his style of battling, having seven thousand battles would have already been decent.
The person ranked first on the list obviously sought out the strongest opponents, hence his journey was a long and strenuous one.
Hundred thousand battles, who knows how much time it took.
“Indeed, the universe is full of wonders.”
“This Battle God Space is truly astonishing – who could have possibly created such a space?”
Jiang Xiaobai mumbled to himself, before shaking his head in astonishment.
He didn’t have lofty ambitions. Right now, his power was only at the Late Stage of Fusion, not even close to the peak.
The requirement for this list was to only start counting from the Tribulation Period.
For Jiang Xiaobai, that was still a bit far off.
Afterward, Jiang Xiaobai continued his walk and ultimately discovered that there were more than just one list.
There was a corresponding list for every level of power.
For example, since Jiang Xiaobai was currently at the Fusion stage, there was a Wretched Beings list specifically for that realm.
In comparison, the Wretched Beings of the Three Thousand Worlds list was a congregation of the absolute best of the best in the entire space.
A list like the Fusion Integrated Realm List was just for people of that realm to compare with one another.
Curious about this, Jiang Xiaobai searched through the list for a while, finally finding his name in the eight-thousand-nine-hundred-somethingth spot.
“Dammit, I’m only ranked this high in this realm?”
“I’m starting to doubt if my Zixiao primordial spirit is even real!”
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt frustrated.
Could you blame him?
He tried his best, refining his primordial spirit fourteen times!
Moreover, because he condensed the Zixiao primordial spirit, he was duly punished by Heaven, which while didn’t hurt him and granted him benefits, was still a trying and adventurous ordeal!
And this was the result?
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai felt a desire to have a proper talk with Heaven.
“I’ve had enough with this place. I’m not staying here anymore!”
Annoyed, Jiang Xiaobai immediately exited the Battle God Space.
This was simply too irritating.
Walking out of the training room, Jiang Xiaobai sat outside drinking tea, nursing his heartache.
Just then, Ao Yan came out.
“What’s wrong? You look so pitiful all by yourself,” Ao Yan said lightly, gazing at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile.
“Nothing, just feeling a sudden blow to my self-esteem.”
Jiang Xiaobai responded with a nonchalant smile. What else could he say now?
Then Ao Yan walked over and poured herself a cup of tea.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Xiaobai changed the topic.
“Oh, if we were given the chance to leave this world, where would you like to go?”
This question made Ao Yan ponder in seriousness.
But soon, laughing and crying at the same time, she tapped Jiang Xiaobai’s chest.
“What are you even thinking about? Right now, we don’t even know how to leave this world.”
“Even if you could leave, our power is so low, do you think we can survive in the outside world?”
“Moreover, we haven’t even travelled every corner of Tianxuan Continent, and you are already dreaming about other worlds?”
“Let’s focus on cultivating first. Having the chance to travel around this Tianxuan Continent would be nice too.”
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t expect Ao Yan to be so open-minded and considerate of all the possibilities.
He suddenly smiled warmly.
“How about this, I’ll accompany you to travel around this Tianxuan Continent?”
“And if we get a chance, we will travel around the three thousand worlds. Where you are, I will be there too.”
Caught off guard by Jiang Xiaobai’s sudden sentiment, Ao Yan was visibly stunned.
She stared at Jiang Xiaobai, her pretty face gradually blushing.
Looking at her like this, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
Yes, she looked really good.
“Right, there’s one more thing. My master asked me to go on an adventure for a while, so I guess you guys will have to stay here.”
After a long moment, Jiang Xiaobai finally broke the silence.
Ao Yan furrowed her brows slightly but did not say anything.
She was aware of Jiang Xiaobai’s feelings for her. If circumstances had allowed for it, Jiang Xiaobai would surely have taken her along.
“This journey, is it dangerous?”
“Well, there’s danger everywhere, you know. Just wait for me here, and when I return, I’ll take you all around the Tianxuan Continent.”
Ao Yan smiled softly, “You better remember your promise.”
“I promise…” Jiang Xiaobai echoed.
They looked into each other’s eyes, sparks flying between them.
Ao Yan even reached out and held Jiang Xiaobai’s hand. They sat quietly in the courtyard, sipping tea and laughing, for the whole afternoon.
The next day, when Jiang Xiaobai came out of the training room, there was no one in the courtyard.
Obviously, everyone was training.
He didn’t deliberately disturb anyone, nor did he announce his departure.
He just quietly walked out of the courtyard.
After finding Gu Ning and telling her that he was ready, Gu Ning just nodded.
“You go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the Abyss of Nether.”
“Remember, the trial will start three months from now. If you miss this time, you’ll have to wait for another year.”
Gu Ning spoke softly, and just like that, she disappeared from the throne.
At this, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched.
“That’s so cold-hearted. She just upped and left, not even giving me time to react.”
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai took out the jade piece Gu Ning had given him.
He checked the content upon inserting his divine sense into it and learned of the location of the forbidden land in the abyss.
What surprised him was that the Abyss of Nether seemed to be within the Forbidden Land of the Abyss!
“Master said that once I get there, I’ll know everything?”
“What everything?”
“Is there a bigger secret yet to be revealed?”
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was not as simple as it seemed.
The only way to know the reason was to go to the Forbidden Land of the Abyss personally!
“Let’s go, time for another adventure.”
“Damn it, when will I get to rest and stay with my wife?”
Jiang Xiaobai cursed under his breath as he walked out of the main hall.
