Ye Qian stopped practicing on the day he received the invitation to the Lihuo Celestial Royal Auction Center's Thousand-Year Auction Event.
With his current spiritual power cultivation at the late ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, there is not much room for improvement in half a month.
"Do you want to remove the disguise from the list of geniuses in the world?" Shenhuang Cauldron Ling asked proactively. He was actually very curious about how far Ye Qian had reached after five years of practice.
"How do you think it will be ranked?" Ye Qian was silent for a while and asked.
"It should be higher than Master Hongtu!" Shenhuang Dingling said. He knew that Ye Qian had always had an inexplicable feeling about Master Hongtu, so he directly compared him with Master Hongtu.
"Why did you say that?" Ye Qian was obviously stunned and asked.
He really felt that he had done well enough and was ranked among the top forty-nine geniuses in the world. He felt that there was no problem at all. However, the Lord of Hongtu Mountain was ranked sixteenth, so Ye Qian was not sure of surpassing him.
But Shenhuang Cauldron Ling said it too lightly, which gave him some inexplicable confidence.
You must know that Shenhuang Cauldron Ling often compared him with Master Hongtu Mountain to attack him.
Seemingly knowing what Ye Qian was thinking, Shenhuang Cauldron Spirit said: "I used to be afraid that you would be scornful, so I picked on others' strengths and pointed out your weaknesses..."
When Ye Qian heard this, he suddenly had something in his heart that he wanted to tell the spirit of Shenhuang Cauldron. He had always used his own shortcomings to attack the strengths of others. As the host of Shenhuang Cauldron, he felt tired.
"The demon clan is good at tempering the body. This is the strongest point of Lord Hongtu. Even you are not as good as you now. But this is a problem of the upper limits of humans and demon clan. There is no way.
The Lord of Hongtu Mountain has inherited the orthodox bloodline of the ancient demon clan. In terms of demon energy, you are relatively weak, but your weakness is limited.
From these two aspects, you two are evenly matched.
However, the demon race is not good at the way of the soul, and its cultivation system does not understand the laws of the great road. It is replaced by the innate magical power of the physical body. Although the effect is the same, there is a very big difference in essence.
If the innate magical power is the use of tools, then the law of the great avenue and the magical power are the secret keys to the direct access to the great avenue. They are not the same. The Lord of Hongtu Mountain did a good job in this aspect and did not fall behind, but he cannot be said to be the top.
However, you have done well enough in this regard. All the three great avenues are the nine original avenues. You have also mastered two supreme avenues and one high-level supernatural power. It is only natural that you should be ranked higher than the Lord of Hongtu Mountain.
"
The lengthy phone call with Shenhuang Cauldron Ling gave Ye Qian a clear idea and a general understanding of his current strength.
"Remove the shielding disguise. Having said so much, let's see what happens in practice!" Ye Qian was no longer stuck on the time when the battle for the treasure would begin. He also wanted to know that after five years of hard training, massive resources were invested to make up for the shortcomings of practice.
, what is his current ranking on the list of geniuses in all heavens and realms?
It's time to test your results!
"Okay!" After saying this, Shenhuang Cauldron Spirit took off Ye Qian's disguise.
Almost at the moment when the disguise was removed, an illusory projection of the list appeared in the depths of Ye Qian's soul sea and above the original soul world.
At the top of the list, there are seven pure purple fonts in ancient seal script on the list of geniuses of all heavens and realms, which are full of mysterious and mysterious meanings of the great laws.
On the list, the name of All Creatures is still at the top.
Ye Qian's eyes moved all the way down without any change, until at the tenth position, Ye Qian saw his name.
The tenth one on the list of geniuses in all heavens and realms, Ye Qian, Xingxiu Heavenly Palace.
If Ye Qian remembered correctly, this position belonged to Crazy Blade Luo Chaoxi, but now it belongs to him.
In five years, Ye Qian's efforts were not in vain. With the guidance of Wuji Dao Weapon Shenhuang Ding, and the massive cultivation resources traded by three overlord-level forces, Ye Qian finally became one of the top ten geniuses.
"Congratulations!" Shenhuang Cauldron Spirit was a little distracted when faced with such a ranking, and it took him a long time to say.
Regardless of the tenth ranking, it seems like the bottom of the top ten geniuses in the world, but in fact, the gap between the top ten geniuses is not as big as imagined. Shenhuang Dingdingling knows better than anyone else that under the realm of Taoism, this group of people has reached
Under the realm of Taoism, the most elite geniuses in the world have actually reached the limit of the realm of Taoism.
When reaching the limit, these geniuses are almost at the same starting line. The reason why there is a gap in rankings may be that some people have a higher upper limit. For example, even though the current leader of Hongtu Mountain is not as good as Ye Qian, his physical cultivation level is still higher than that of Ye Qian.
Being so humble and tall is an innate problem between humans and monsters.
Of course, it is also possible that he has enough top-notch foreign objects, such as the Taoist soldiers on the Taoist Weapon List of All Heavens and Worlds. If the Divine Desolate Cauldron was willing to reveal himself, Ye Qian would have reached the top of the list in who knows how long.
At the level of the top ten geniuses, the competition among the geniuses is all-round, and there will no longer be any fundamental gap. When they really fight, the outcome is still uncertain.
"It's not too late to congratulate me when I reach the top of the world." Ye Qian said with a low smile. In fact, he was satisfied with this ranking to a certain extent.
Compared to the Lord of Hongtu Mountain, Wan Yongye, Wansheng Sheng, etc., who were born to enjoy the top resources in the world, Ye Qian's gaps in all aspects are actually lagging behind others, and the gap is simply immeasurable.
He rose from humble beginnings and has been cultivating all the way to this day. He has never stopped and relaxed for a moment, and he has never expected anyone to be able to help him move forward. Compared with all things that gave birth to them, Ye Qian is poor enough.
There are top-notch cultivation resources and techniques, and there are enough powerful teachers and relatives to protect it. You only need to concentrate on cultivation, and there are a lot of subordinates and vassal forces to do all the chores.
Ye Qian can only rely on himself. All the training resources, from exercises, to weapons, to training resources, etc., no one will take the initiative to give him, and there is no support from his family and teachers. He goes to buy and find the secret ruins.
Go on an adventure, practice alchemy, live on the great road for yourself, and open a road to the sky.
Therefore, when Ye Qian saw his current ranking, surprisingly, his first reaction was not how happy he was, but that after practicing for so many years, he finally had enough capital to stand at the same starting point as the geniuses of the world and compete for the top spot.
Fight for the title of first genius.
All kinds of complicated emotions swirled around in Ye Qian's heart. For a long time, he sighed slightly. Some people are born at the top, while some people have to spend their whole lives and look down on endless life and death to fight for a future. This is the case in the mortal world.
The same is true in the author's world, without exception.
Ye Qian is not complaining about any unfairness. The ancestors braved the thorns and thorns to walk the road to reach the sky and provide shelter for the younger generations. This is a very fair thing. If you can't be the second generation or the third generation, then you can only be the first generation yourself and cut out
The road to heaven allows your descendants to stop complaining about why their ancestors were incompetent and could not let their descendants win.
The names of the top ten geniuses aroused Ye Qian's thoughts. He has been practicing for so long, and he knows that it is better to block it. So he simply did not practice today and completely indulged himself. Which tavern in the imperial city has good wine? In the past five years,
When he came down, Ye Qian had already figured it out clearly.
Wandering in the tavern, not thinking about the past and the future, with the best spiritual wine in his mouth, the most beautiful singer and dancer beside him speaking the most beautiful words of flattery, everyone is serving him and doing their best, Ye Qian
Enjoying it wantonly but still feeling like something is missing.
While the birds were singing and the swallows were dancing, Ye Qian suddenly thought of the night a few years ago when he had a drink with the king, power and wealth he had just met in a strange market and at a strange stall.
That night, the city was quiet, the stalls were dimly lit, and the boss was a nice guy. The wine was sizzling hot after lingering. When I was slightly tipsy, I saw the royal power and rich people killing people with lamps. When the lamp fell, people died. They took advantage of the good night to attack the Quan family and beheaded everyone.
Under the knife.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qian's mouth, and he subconsciously wanted to take out a jar of green blood wine from the storage ring, but found that he had already finished the wine.
After being stunned for a moment, Ye Qian suddenly felt a little sad. He was treated to two glasses of wine amidst the sweet words of the beauties on his left and right.
The wine was wrong. Although it was good, it didn't have the taste of green blood. The people were wrong. Beauty was beautiful, but it also lacked flavor. What came to Ye Qian's mind was Peach Blossom Residence in Demon Fairy City. The man was dressed in linen, looked quite ordinary, and had a fox behind him.
Tail woman.
Ye Qian pushed away the beauties on the left and right sides. While the beauties were astonished, Ye Qian left. With the help of the cross-border teleportation array in the palace, he returned to the Xingxiu Heavenly Palace. With the help of the teleportation array, he finally came to the Southern Wilderness at night.
That little place called Anwenfang City.
Just like when Ye Qian first came here, time seems to have stopped here. The storefronts on both sides of the street are still those inns and hotels, and there are some small stalls on both sides of the road. Just like many years ago, a dim yellow forehead oil lamp flickered in front.
Ye Qian walked slowly and came to this small stall. There were only vendors in the stall, no customers and no signboard.
The hawker was a bit older than when Ye Qian saw him before.
At this moment, Ye Qian felt the passage of time.
"A bowl of noodles and a pound of green blood wine." Ye Qian sat in front of the stall and said skillfully.
"Okay, here's the wine, please wait a moment!" The vendor agreed with a smile, skillfully took out a bottle of home-brewed blue blood wine from under the stall, and placed it in front of Ye Qian. The moment he looked at Ye Qian, a kind of
A familiar feeling lingers in my heart.
The hawker lowered his head to cook the noodles while looking at Ye Qian from the corner of his eye. After a while, he finally had a look of realization on his face.
"Senior, did you come here with the Wang family boy back then?" the vendor asked with some surprise.
Ye Qian was stunned. He really didn't expect that this vendor could remember his appearance after only coming here once or twice. He smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I came here with him. Boss, you have a good memory."
"Don't I still owe him the wedding wine? I agreed back then to give him the wine for his wedding with the young lady of the Quan family, and I will treat it as part of the money." The vendor said cheerfully.
Ye Qian was a little stunned when he heard this. He vaguely remembered that the hawker had indeed promised this in front of him when he came here. Unexpectedly, the hawker still remembered things that he and Wang Quan Fugui had forgotten.
Seeing that Ye Qian didn't answer, the hawker also sighed and said while cooking noodles: "Last time the Wang family boy came over, I asked him when they were going to get married. When you two came here, he had already decided
, my son is not married yet, and now I have three grandsons. They have not set a date yet, even if they are practicing, the marriage cannot be delayed. "
Ye Qian felt inexplicably warm as he listened to the hawker's chatter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If he remembered correctly, in order to fulfill his childhood dream, the hawker's son came back from the mountain to spy on the widow taking a bath, and was discovered.
