Chapter 592 - 563: Ranked Among the Celestial List, Unmatched Among Peers
As the second powerhouse to achieve Nine Tribulations Perfection, Master Huan Yu was extraordinary in every sense.
After all, although the method of Nine Tribulations Reincarnation has been passed down through countless ages, none have ever achieved what Master Huan Yu did, becoming the second after Daoist Taiyuan.
Nine Tribulations Perfection.
Although it couldn’t allow Master Huan Yu to ascend to immortality, it elevated his accumulation to a terrifying level.
With just one breakthrough,
he could condense a pinnacle-grade Immortal Body.
Moreover—
The accumulation of tens of thousands of years of reincarnation granted him an astounding combat strength. Even though he had only been an Earth Immortal for a few months, Master Huan Yu was able to solidify his foundation with his powerful reserves, overshadowing other tenth-rank low-grade powerhouses.
The previous battle,
gave Master Huan Yu a comprehensive understanding of his current realm.
As the golden light dissipated, he gazed at the cultivator before him, slightly startled, then smiled gently while bowing: "Fellow Daoist Tianji, it has been quite some time since we last met!"
"Master Huan Yu!"
Master Celestial Secret looked at the cultivator before him, his expression also changing slightly.
He hadn’t expected his second opponent to be Master Huan Yu.
As for this figure,
Master Celestial Secret was quite familiar.
As an ancient powerhouse of Taiyuan State, his accumulation was far thicker than Master Celestial Secret’s. Now that he had attained Earth Immortal status, his strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Yet,
Master Celestial Secret was unafraid.
As the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, and among the earliest to attain immortality, Master Celestial Secret considered himself not weaker than anyone.
"I hadn’t expected to see Master Huan Yu face-to-face this time. Now I shall humbly seek your guidance!"
"Please, Daoist!"
Master Huan Yu smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Master Celestial Secret wasted no more words and with a sweep of his sleeve, a compass suddenly appeared. An endless flow of Dao Rhyme circulated on the compass, as if billions of stars were being birthed, and the terrifying celestial might crushed the Azure Sky, evolving all forms of heaven and earth.
The Celestial Secret Disc!
This was the Supreme Treasure in the hands of Master Celestial Secret.
After he attained immortality, the Celestial Secret Disc was refined and successfully ascended to the rank of an Immortal Artifact.
If the ninth-ranked Celestial Secret Disc already possessed immense powers, then after transforming into an Immortal Artifact, it became even more terrifying. Not only could it deduce all celestial secrets, but it also contained the power of the stars, capable of evolving three thousand worlds and suppressing all evil spirits.
"You’re coming at me strong!"
Master Huan Yu’s eyes narrowed, and an Ink Jade Zither already appeared in his hands.
As he plucked the strings, waves of zither music spread like ripples, tearing apart the void wherever it passed, making the world seem as if it had entered a state of desolation.
This is the Sect’s Supreme Treasure of the Wenda Sect, the Inquiry Zither!
Since Master Huan Yu attained his Dao, the Inquiry Zither had been refined with Immortal Qi, ascending to the rank of an Immortal Artifact.
The two Immortal Artifacts collided in the void, unleashing infinite power, causing the void to vanish, and countless stars shattered inch by inch.
Gu Qingyang also observed the battle in the starry sky, the destructive ripples from their clash couldn’t make him flinch.
With his level of strength, a newly entered tenth-rank cultivator was no longer significant to him.
If Gu Qingyang wished, suppressing a tenth-rank cultivator was as easy as pie.
However.
For other cultivators, the strength exhibited by Master Celestial Secret and Master Huan Yu was astonishing.
"Master Celestial Secret wasn’t weak himself; after eight cycles of tribulation, he attained his Dao and immortality, condensing a high-grade Immortal Body. Although just a tenth-rank low-grade, his real strength could give him an edge even against a general tenth-rank mid-grade opponent.
In contrast, while Master Huan Yu’s breakthrough was more recent, his Nine Tribulations Perfection provided him with an unparalleled foundation. Both have top-grade Immortal Bodies, but Master Huan Yu’s is undeniably the peak of the elite.
This battle, Master Celestial Secret is likely to be defeated!"
Gu Qingyang observed the starry sky battle, already aware of the battle’s outcome.
In truth.
Master Huan Yu emerged as a dark horse.
Nobody expected this newly ascended Earth Immortal to position himself within the forefront of the tenth-rank Celestial List.
Indeed.
The forefront it was.
In Gu Qingyang’s view, Master Huan Yu’s ranking certainly wouldn’t be low.
Still, for him to rank first, he needs a little more.
According to the competition rules,
If a cultivator achieves a perfect win in three matches, there would be additional rounds until the final ranking is determined.
Subsequently.
Gu Qingyang shifted his gaze to other starry battlegrounds.
The Cyan Emperor remained as powerful as ever, his top-grade Immortal Body and tenth-rank mid-grade cultivation almost unrivaled in the same tier.
His opponent in this battle was Gu Fang.
Gu Fang’s foundation wasn’t weak either, using the Heaven-Dominating Divine Body as his foundation, and he too condensed a top-grade Immortal Body after attaining immortality.
Unfortunately,
his foundation and strength still fell short compared to the Cyan Emperor.
Therefore,
his defeat was only a matter of time.
...
The Ten Thousand Realms under the starry sky.
Fierce battles never ceased.
The entire competition spanned a whole decade before the rankings were truly determined.
The first stable ranking was the seventh-rank Celestial List.
The power of cultivators at this level was unlike any other, even though there were many, determining their ranks was relatively quick.
Once the seventh-rank Celestial List was revealed, everyone looked up at the golden list above, seeing numerous names already filling the once-blank Celestial List.
Each name,
represented supreme honor.
"The seventh-rank Celestial List likely comprises the strongest in the starry sky of all seventh-rank powerhouses!"
"Indeed, the battles for the seventh-rank Celestial List were even fiercer than many eighth-rank battles!"
"The one ranked first, their strength might rival the peak of the eighth-rank!"
"Zhong Zhuang, this name is quite unfamiliar..."
The seventh-rank Celestial List had ten thousand spots, and anyone ranked on the list was destined to be renowned throughout the starry sky, with the first-ranked powerhouse having the greatest impact.
Zhong Zhuang’s name was unfamiliar to many cultivators, as if he had suddenly come out of nowhere.
But without a doubt,
his strength was truly formidable.
The later battles involving Zhong Zhuang were witnessed by these people, his strength was unbelievably astonishing. Forget about the seventh rank; even in the eighth-rank starry battlegrounds, there were hardly any powerhouses who could match him.
In fact.
Every powerhouse on the seventh-rank Celestial List had the ability to battle beyond their rank. Even the lowest-ranked on the list possessed power not weaker than an eighth-rank mid-grade.
After all, this Celestial List ranking gathered the most talented and extraordinary figures from tens of millions of star systems.
Those who emerged victorious out of hundreds of billions of same-ranked cultivations, ultimately reaching the summit, their strength was undeniably exceptional.
Without the strength to surpass all in the same tier, one couldn’t be listed on the Celestial List.
To put it bluntly,
all powerhouses on the Celestial List are considered seeds who could, if they do not fall, one day ascend to immortality.
