Chapter 852 - Whos Number One?

Chapter 852 Whos Number One?

The blue-haired young man pressed the palm of his hand against the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

Then, he exerted a sudden force on the stone tablet.

Boom!

A loud rumble sounding like a distant call from ancient times came from inside of the stone tablet. Golden ripples spread out from the location of his palm on the surface of the stone tablet, which was now like the mirror surface of calm water disturbed by a boulder thrown into it.

These ripples were golden divine patterns.

One, two, three...

Twenty golden divine patterns appeared.

The twenty golden divine patterns were bright and clear, giving off dazzling light. They looked like invisible brushes heavily saturated with golden ink drawing numerous words on the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

He is the successor of the Wind Clan called Young Master Wuxing.

The Cloud Light Saintess revealed the blued-haired young mans ident.i.ty.

Its him. Lei Cang clenched his teeth. His voice seemed to have erupted from the depth of his throat.

Ghost sneered without saying anything.

Fairy Shuiyue said, I once heard that the successor of the Wind Clan was a rare genius, and he was born to be an immortal. He is considered the most outstanding one among tens of thousands of rising stars in the major clans of the Celestial Court that has a great chance of competing for the position of the Divine Emperor of the Celestial Court in the future.

The successor of the Wind Clan?

Li Mu was greatly surprised.

He had never heard of this person before.

The six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court were on the same level in terms of background and status. At first, Li Mu thought that the successors of these six clans were on the same level in terms of power, and even if there was any difference between them, the difference would not be a great one. Now, however, it seemed that the successor of the Wind Clan was much more powerful and arrogant than the successors of the other five major Divine Clans.

Li Mu wondered if this successor of the Wind Clan, who had never shown up before, was as powerful as he appeared to be.

The pract.i.tioners of other immortal sects learned the name of the blue-haired young man from the conversations of the successors of several major Divine Clans. They stared fixedly at the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List in shock.

The twenty golden divine patterns swirled and drifted along the surface of the stone tablet as if they were alive. Finally, they converged at the center point and formed three dazzling golden words

Yu Jingfeng!

That was the real name of Young Master Wuxing.

A deadly silence reigned over the inner square.

Even Li Mu felt shocked.

The blue-haired young man, known as the successor of the Wind Clan, was about the same age as Li Mu, but he was extremely arrogant. However, he had managed to leave his name on the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

He made it.

When he took action a few moments ago, almost all the people in the inner square clearly felt the blast waves from his palm pressed against the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List and knew that he was a master in the Upper King Realm instead of one in the mysterious Deity Realm.

In other words, as a master in the Upper King Realm, the successor of the Wind Clan named Yu Jingfeng left his name on the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List and was recognized by the divine stone tablet. It was to be noted that under normal circ.u.mstances, only masters in the Deity Realm could get on the Heaven Rankings List.

That meant Yu Jingfeng could contend with some old monsters in the Deity Realm in a real fight.

He had infinite potential!

He was an extraordinary genius!

All the people in the inner square suddenly felt that Li Mus outstanding performance in taking first place on the Human Rankings List and the Earth Rankings List was nothing compared to what the successor of the Wind Clan had accomplished.

They believed that there was a wide gap between the two of them.

The number one on the Human Rankings List and the Earth Rankings List was not comparable to someone on the Heaven Rankings List.

The logic was very simple.

The Heaven Rankings List was not something with which the other two lists could compare.

Yu Jingfeng turned around and stood on the base of the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List. His long blue hair was s.h.i.+ning with faint, strange light. There was a look of calmness on his breathtakingly beautiful face. He didnt look excited about his success in getting on the Heaven Rankings List.

He glanced at Ghost, Fairy Shuiyue, Lei Cang, and the other pract.i.tioners of immortal sects around him and said, The compet.i.tion on the path of immortals is a journey full of obstacles and difficulties. To achieve immortality, one must have a strong mindset and take solid steps. You turn out to be just ordinary people. Its really disappointing to see you making a fuss about the compet.i.tion for rankings on the three lists.

Especially you. He turned his head and looked at the successors of four major Divine Clans, saying, The Divine Clans of the Celestial Court have been training you with great care and painstaking efforts, and you have been provided with the best resources and Cultivation Methods. Unfortunately, you ended up being overshadowed by a mortal. Thats simply the biggest joke of all. I didnt mean to compete for fame in the first place, but youre just disappointing. You have allowed someone to trample on the dignity of the Celestial Court and brought shame on our ancestors.

Lei Cang had a short temper, but his face was ashen now.

Fairy Shuiyue, who was a calm person, clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

The ghostly mist around Ghost was swirling wildly like boiling water in a pot.

However, none of them dared to refute Yu Jingfeng.

The three big golden words of his name drifting on the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List seemed to be carrying the greatest weight in the world, pressuring these successors of Divine Clans so hard that they couldnt breathe.

Yu Jingfeng stared at the Cloud Light Saintess and said, As the successor of a Divine Clan of the Celestial Court, you have condescended to be a mortals maidservant. He-he, you said you did that because you wanted to temper yourself and develop a Taoist mindset. Thats just a lame excuse youve made up to protect your pathetic self-esteem. How can a real master stoop to compromise like that?

His voice contained some kind of strange power. His words. .h.i.t the heart of the Cloud Light Saintess like hammers.

The face of the Cloud Light Saintess blanched.

Li Mu did not look back, but he could clearly feel that the vibes of the woman behind him suddenly became disordered.

Her Taoist mindset had suffered a blow!

She was fl.u.s.tered.

For all martial arts pract.i.tioners, a damaged mindset was something very terrible.

After being laughed at by Li Mu many times, the Cloud Light Saintess had actually calmed down and found a way to temper herself. She was making rapid progress in cultivating her Taoist mindset, and she was on a good track toward the destination. Therefore, even though she had been overtaken by others on the Earth Rankings List, she remained perfectly calm and didnt grow moody at all.

Li Mu believed that if she could keep going that way, she would soon overtake her peers and become a s.h.i.+ning star.

However, the condescending successor of the Wind Clan named Yu Jingfeng had dealt a devastating blow that damaged her improving Taoist mindset.

Such a combination of progress and setback had caused greater damage to her mindset.

I... I... I...

The Cloud Light Saintess seemed to have sensed the countless scornful gazes on her. She had a feeling of stress that shed never felt before. After she became Li Mus maidservant, she had been trying hard to suppress the feeling of humiliation. Now, that feeling suddenly erupted and engulfed her like a flood.

Ah... She spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered.

The crowd burst into an uproar.

The Cloud Light Saintess almost got on the Heaven Rankings List, but the successor of the Wind Clan broke her confidence by saying just a few words. She spat out blood and staggered because of the blow dealt by him... His means is so shocking.

Yu Jingfeng snorted coldly, glanced at Li Mu and said, Mortals will be mortals. Trampling on G.o.ds is just wishful thinking. I want to take action to erase you directly, but I cant break the rules of the Celestial Court at this Immortal-Devil a.s.sembly today. Youd better pray for yourself in the future.

With that, he walked slowly down the stone steps from the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

All eyes were fixed on him. He walked slowly like a king who was stepping toward his subjects after reaching a summit.

The face of the Cloud Light Saintess grew paler, and she was losing the rhythm of her breathing and trembling.

No one had expected that the compet.i.tion for rankings on the three lists would turn out this way.

The successor of the Wind Clan named Yu Jingfeng had trampled all the glory, pride, and miracles of the previous compet.i.tors for rankings under his feet. All of the pract.i.tioners on the Earth Rankings List had become stepping stones for him.

He didnt go for the Earth Rankings.

However, everyone knew that even the number one on the Earth Rankings List could not withstand a single blow from him.

He walked briskly.

He walked past Li Mu.

He didnt even look at Li Mu as he pa.s.sed by the latter.

He acted like an almighty king who would not look at the small stones by the roadside.

Hey.

Li Mu suddenly started speaking.

Yu Jingfeng stopped.

Li Mus lips curled in a defiant sneer. To be honest, I have never met anyone better than me when it comes to showing off.

Yu Jingfeng said without even turning around, Whats up?

Li Mu sneered and said, You did nothing more than getting on the Heaven Rankings List. What makes you put on airs like that? Do you think that your descending manner has anything to do with the Taoist mindset?

Yu Jingfeng said blandly, You despicable mortal and lowly creature! How dare you talk nonsense about the Taoist mindset?

Li Mu burst into laughter.

The Great Way is affectionless, but heaven and earth are affectionate. The ways to temper oneself should never be labeled as n.o.ble or lowly. A hundred thousand years ago, the so-called Celestial Court was just a small thatched cottage. You are so condescending and arrogant, but youre not aware that you are just standing on the shoulders of the past sages of the Celestial Court. Youre nothing more than a pract.i.tioner in the Upper King Realm who can fight masters in the Deity Realm. So what? You are simply a frog looking up at the sky from the bottom of the well. How can you know about the real Taoist mindset?

With that, Li Mu walked slowly toward the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

The Cloud Light Saintess raised her head and stared at the back of Li Mu.

Her breathing was no longer as unsteady as before.

What is he going to do?

Is he walking up the stone steps leading to the Heaven Rankings List?

What? Hes been enraged. Is that why he is going to prove himself by going for the Heaven Rankings?

The pract.i.tioners of immortal sects in the inner square stared fixedly at Li Mu and watched him walk up the stone steps onto the stone platform and stop in front of the tall stone tablet for Heaven Rankings List.

Yu Jingfeng had turned around to watch.

Ha... Hes a fool who doesnt know what he can do.

He sneered.

Standing in front of the stone tablet, Li Mu took a deep breath, ran the natural Qi of the Xiantian Skill in his body, and tried to control the great physical strength that he had obtained by practicing Zhenwu Boxing. Even his muscles and bones vibrated slightly. In an instant, he completed the fine-tuning of his physical and mental conditions.

At the same time, he slowly opened the Third Eye between his eyebrows.

He was facing the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List, so n.o.body could see him opening his Third Eye.

After about five breaths of time, he cracked a smile.

His right arm began to burn with silver flames through his blood, flesh and skin, and at the same time, his right hand was s.h.i.+ning with bright red light. If people could see through his skin and flesh, they would see countless strange, blood-red divine runes around his finger bones.

He threw a punch without any hesitation.

Boom!

His fist hit the surface of the stone tablet.

A rumbling sound like the ringing of a giant bell suddenly rang out in Jintai Temple.

Numerous dazzling rays of golden light appeared on the surface of the stone tablet. The dazzling golden rays danced wildly like golden ripples spreading on a mirror-like water surface disturbed by a small stone under the setting sun.

Yu Jingfengs eyes widened in surprise.

The old monsters in the high pavilion rose to their feet, shocked.
