by fanqienovelChapter 391: Unparalleled Rankings
[To forge the Complete Version of the Pangu universe’s unparalleled rankings, thirty-six hundred billion heavenly secrets points are required.]
[To forge the Simplified Version of the Pangu universe’s unparalleled rankings, one hundred and twenty billion heavenly secrets points are required.]
"Simplified Version, of course!"
The cost of a single Complete Version of the unparalleled rankings alone was enough for his advancement to the Three Yuan Proof. Ye Xu naturally had no desire to play the sucker.
Ding!
[Congratulations, host. Having spent one hundred and twenty billion heavenly secrets points, you have successfully purchased the Simplified Version of the Pangu universe’s unparalleled rankings.]
As the words faded, a golden scroll materialized in the void. It was radiant with immortal light and resonated with a profound sound of the Dao. An ancient and monumental aura emanated from it. Upon it, three characters danced with bold, sweeping strokes—"unparalleled rankings"!
With a single thought from Ye Xu, the golden scroll unfurled slowly. One by one, names came into view.
1. Yi (Human Ancestor): Half-step beyond the transcendent realm. Fused with the Jianmu divine tree and the Xuantian Merit Dao Embryo. Merely one step away from cultivating to the transcendent realm and achieving Ascension to the Hongmeng Dao Realm.
2. Tianzi: Master of the Heavenly Dao, wielding the Chaotic Tree, the Taishi Divine Mountain, and half of an Innate Dao Seed.
3. Heavenly Emperor: Possessing the number one fierce weapon – his own body. Impervious to myriad methods. Wielding half of an Innate Dao Seed.
4. Reincarnation Ancient God: An Innate Divine Being. Master of the Spirit Root of heaven and earth, the Other Shore Flower.
5. Lin Qianmo: Mid Three Yuan Proof.
6. Mad Daoist.
7. Yuanzu: Practicing the Primordial Dao. Master of the innate Tai Chi Divine Mountain.
8. Ancient God of Origin: Master of the Origin Dao Seed.
9. Immortal Emperor Taisu.
10. Divine Ancestor.
11. Demon Ancestor.
12. Si Ming: An Innate Divine Being born from the Life Dao, Perfect Three Yuan Proof.
13. Celestial Demon Ancestor: Ancestor of the demon clan, Mid Three Yuan Proof.
14. Qin Yu.
15. Xuanxin: Proof of the Second Primordial Spirit, Patriarch of the Undying Divine Clans.
16. Xuan Du Ancient Immortal.
…
"Huh? The Human Ancestor’s cultivation has actually reached such a formidable level?" Ye Xu was astonished. The Human Ancestor had saved all living beings through his own efforts, accumulating immense merit. Despite still being in embryonic form, he already ranked first on the unparalleled rankings.
As for the Human Ancestor not yet transcending, Ye Xu was not surprised.
After all, in the first epoch, even Nuwa had to save the world’s mortals and possess the merit of Repairing the Heavens and perfecting the Heavenly Dao before she could transcend.
The Human Ancestor had merely completed the first step; a crucial second step remained.
"Lin Qianmo’s cultivation probably hasn’t yet restored to its peak," Ye Xu murmured. The rankings of Tianzi and the Heavenly Emperor, however, were within expectations.
Tianzi was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and could mobilize its power. He was naturally the peak fighting force within the Pangu universe.
The Human Ancestor could harness the power of all beings and had the upper hand.
The Heavenly Emperor ranked third among the most formidable individual beings throughout all ages, dominating countless generations with unparalleled strength, well-deserving of this position.
In reality, the cultivation levels of these three were likely comparable; a true clash would inevitably lead to mutual destruction.
"Who is Immortal Emperor Taisu?" Ye Xu’s gaze flickered with contemplation. Taisu was one of the Five Innate Elements. Among them now, Taiyi Divine Mountain belonged to Lin Qianmo, the Primordial divine stone had been exchanged by Ye Xu for heavenly secrets points, Taishi Divine Mountain was held by the Son of Heaven, and Tai Chi Divine Mountain was possessed by Yuanzu.
This Immortal Emperor Taisu was undoubtedly closely tied to Taisu Divine Mountain. It was highly probable he was the very essence of Taisu Divine Mountain, having achieved enlightenment and ascended to the pinnacle.
"This time when Pangu’s Daoist Temple opened, Immortal Emperor Taisu didn’t show up. He truly possesses immense restraint," Ye Xu murmured.
His eyes continued down the list.
"Divine Ancestor? Demon Ancestor?"
Ye Xu’s brow furrowed slightly. He had never heard of these two formidable figures. However, to be included on the Pangu universe’s Unparalleled Rankings, they must be denizens of this realm.
Ye Xu already had a suspicion.
"Over hundreds of millions of years since the Pangu universe’s birth, it has nurtured fourteen supreme beings who attained the Three Yuan Proof. Counted among them, including the perished Chaotic Demon Gods, the number would be even larger."
"The potential of this universe is genuinely extraordinary."
In contrast, the Qing Xuan plane, which opened an alien universe passage this time, welcomed twelve Immortal Emperors, though not even that represented the full number.
However, the Qing Xuan plane had nurtured life for tens of trillions of years; the two universes were fundamentally incomparable.
Starting from the fifteenth rank were semi-Immortal Emperors possessing the proof of the Second Primordial Spirit.
Ye Xu skimmed over them swiftly; a total of forty-nine semi-Immortal Emperors occupied these places, mostly Innate Divine Beings and postnatal beings, split roughly half and half.
Beings like the Dark Emperor and White Emperor, merely having achieved the peak level of the First Primordial Spirit proof, found themselves languishing at the very bottom of the rankings.
"The emergence of these unparalleled rankings will surely cause a monumental uproar throughout all realms, hehe…" Ye Xu’s eyes sparkled brightly. "How much should I charge?"
The unparalleled rankings and the Great Emperor Golden List were worlds apart.
"Those interested in the unparalleled rankings will be either exceptionally wealthy or of exalted status," Ye Xu thought inwardly. "Therefore, the starting price cannot be low."
"A small target… one billion."
Ye Xu channeled his cultivation. His Great Dao of Creation transformed into a restrictive seal, imprinting itself upon the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings.
This list could only be viewed by one person.
After viewing it, it would lock onto that individual.
After all, it was far too valuable; every extra profit counted.
"Esteemed senior, is it another golden list?"
Ye Xian’er and Xixi, having completed their cultivation session, came out and saw the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings, marvelling at it.
"Master is short of money again, haha."
Su Mu and Yue Lingxi exchanged a glance and laughed, their eyes filled with affection.
"I’m broadening the horizons of all beings," Ye Xu laughed.
"Master, how much for this list?" Su Mu asked, his gaze shifting.
"One billion."
Hearing these words, the crowd gasped sharply in shock.
But Su Mu appeared calm and composed. The Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings gathered the peerless powerhouses of the world, and those who wished to catch a glimpse of it would not lack the money for it.
Whoosh!
Ye Xu waved his long sleeve, and the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings transformed into a streak of golden light flying out of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.
In an instant, the great Dao boomed throughout heaven and earth, immortal light surged and misted, manifesting astonishing phenomena.
"What is that?"
The phenomena startled the cultivators in Linglong City, and they gazed at the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings with great awe. Only Heaven’s Secret Pavilion could dare make such a brazen commotion so recklessly in Linglong City.
"It looks like the Great Emperor Golden List?"
A cultivator said.
"Today, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion announces the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings. It includes the top experts of all realms, ranging from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and contemporary Son of Heaven, down to the Innate Divine Being, quasi-emperor, and Immortal Venerable—a total of one hundred spots."
Commotion!
That voice spread throughout Yuan Realm, rang out across all realms, and shook the Heavens.
"The senior Master has truly made a grand gesture this time—listing out such a ranking!"
"The Master even knows the strengths of the Heavenly Emperor and the Son of Heaven. Doesn’t that indicate his own power is greater, so he can handle anyone on the list at will?"
"The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is indeed the eternal god!"
The multitude was extremely shocked and terrified.
Under the heavens, only Heaven’s Secret Pavilion likely had enough ability and courage to dare list those peerless powerhouses on the golden list.
"To view the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings costs one hundred million Star Yuan. Moreover, after viewing, the memory is locked and cannot be passed to a second person."
Su Mu’s voice echoed throughout Yuan Realm.
The rules of this list were far stricter compared to the Great Emperor Golden List.
"Those who wish to have a peek can view it through Star Yuan."
The voice came.
The entire Yuan Realm was greatly stunned.
"The Unparalleled Rankings will probably feature only the most powerful beings in the world today."
In Godfall Ridge, one ancient divine clan after another grew restless.
"We absolutely must not miss this list."
"Old devil Ji, let us go together to Linglong City to have a look."
"That is only natural."
The Ancestor of the Ji Clan laughed heartily.
Streaks of immortal light flew out from Godfall Ridge—those were the ancestors of the ancient divine clans.
At the same time.
From all realms, figure after figure hurried to arrive.
The significance of the Golden List of the Unparalleled Rankings spoke for itself.
One hundred million heavenly secrets points were a trifle for the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, and it did not even count as a large sum for true immortal level masters.
No one was willing to miss this grand event.
