Chapter 757: Name on the List Again



Chapter 757: Name on the List Again

The Thousand Cities List was about to show up, to great fanfare. The ranking results that made everyone envy and fear would be revealed on the list. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the crucial moment.

Every single one of the castellans in the Black Jade Mountains paid close attention to the sky.

A moment later, under everyone’s anxious gaze, the list finally appeared.

First: Man Tianhao, High-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivation level, 380,000 Demon Crystals in total.

Second: Hai Dalong, High-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivation level, 330,000 Demon Crystals in total.

Third: Ye Mo, Mid-grade Profound World Realm cultivation level, 280,000 Demon Crystals in total.

Fourth: Song Gang, High-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivation level, 270,000 Demon Crystals in total.

People paid far less attention to the last six names on the list. Apparently, the latter six castellans had collected their Demon Crystals individually, because their total number of Demon Crystals were each less than 30,000.

The top four castellans were obviously the representatives of their leagues. Each of them had put their name on the list with around 300,000 Demon Crystals. Such an amount was mind-blowing. Moreover, Ye Mo’s league was the third-place winner, taking the place of the six-star castellan Huang Wuji.

Fortunately, Ye Mo and Yao Yue’s handwork had paid off in the end. And third place was a rather satisfying result.

Even Ye Mo hadn’t expected that the Five Element League could surpass the other leagues. After all, the most powerful member in his league was just a four-star castellan.

Ye Mo also realized that Huang Wuji’s name was no longer on the list, which meant he had joined a league among the top four.

Upon the revealing of the ranking, everyone in the Black Jade Mountains was shocked by the result. From the seven-star castellans to the one-star castellans, or even those top cultivators who didn’t care about the list, they all couldn’t help crying out in surprise.

“Am I... am I seeing this wrong? This lad with a Mid-grade Profound World Realm cultivation level is carrying the Demon Crystals of the whole league?” one of the four-star castellans in the Man Tian League shouted.

Hearing his shout, other members of the Man Tian League began to realize how unbelievable it was.

“Big brother, a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert was chosen as the league leader. And, more importantly, he possesses so many Demon Crystals. There must be some top cultivators hiding beside the curtain,” said Man Tiancheng. He stood in front of a masculine-looking man, his face covered with worry.

“He’s a nobody, don’t make a fuss. Do you really think a top cultivator would help them? Just let them celebrate, for now. In the next half-month, all castellans in the Man Tian League must stop killing demonic beasts and stay in the valley to focus on cultivation. We must be fully prepared for the Gold Palace,” Man Tianhao said coldly. In his eyes, Ye Mo was just a clown. He wouldn’t even waste a second on a person like him.

“It seems Ye Mo is the league leader of the Five Element League. Not long ago, he killed one of our four-star castellans.”

“Hmmm, the entire Five Element League selected this lad to be their league leader. I’d say someone in power must have helped him secretly.”

All kinds of speculation was brought up. Ye Mo was the one and only lad who could make his name on the ranking list with a Mid-grade Profound World Realm cultivation level. And because of the rare situation, everyone was quite curious about him.

But, no matter how he made it, he had 280 thousand Demon Crystals in his possession. Whoever killed him would be the new owner of those Demon Crystals.

Song Gang, the league leader of the Assassins League, stared at the ranking list. He was sullen, with a cold look on his face. He couldn’t believe that a lad with only a Mid-grade Profound World Realm cultivation level ranked higher than him.

Originally, he didn’t care about if Ye Mo made his name on the list. But he hadn’t expected Ye Mo’s ranking to be even higher than his. His reputation and dignity as a five-star castellan were hurt. Not to mention he also held a grudge against Ye Mo because of the history between them.

No resource information on the Gold, Silver and Bronze Palace was announced with the rankings. Instead, a row of characters appeared:

“In the Battle of the Thousand Cites this year, the cultivation level and power of all of the castellans have far exceeded the past years. Therefore, the three palaces will be located in the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land. Let’s see if your destiny will show you the way to find the palaces and earn the opportunity to trade for the invaluable resources.”

“The Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land?” Ye Mo said, narrowing his eyes.

The Primordial Shenrui had been killed in the Black Jade Mountains of the Zone of Chaos. Therefore, the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land must be located in the Black Jade Mountains. But why did the Chaos Palace show the castellans such a nice gesture all out of sudden and allow them to enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land?

“Castellan Ye Mo, the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land was exactly the place where the Primordial Shenrui got slaughtered,” Zhou Jin said seriously. “After more than ten thousand years, it’s become a mysterious land. But all the treasures in the mysterious land are long gone. Many top-ranking cultivators used to go there to seek opportunities. But they all came back empty-handed. As time passed, no one wants to go there anymore.”

Ye Mo raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Jin definitely deserved the title of four-star castellan. It seemed that he knew everything about the Zone of Chaos, from big events to trivial anecdotes, like the back of his hand.

“But I do know about one great thing in the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land, and that is the abundant and condensed Yuan Qi flowing around the mysterious land. If we sit down and cultivate our power there, I bet the outcome could be extremely satisfying,” Hua Feihua added.

“If I got into the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land, I could probably break through the realm and generated another Profound Mark,” another High-grade Profound Heavens Realm castellan said.

“Right now, there should be less than 700 castellans left in the center of the Black Jade Mountains, but only 8 people can enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land,” Leng Wei said. “So, I reckon, to make the most of the opportunity, the winners should at least be five-star castellans.”

In fact, not everyone would like to enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land. For example, to some of the seven-star castellans, absorbing the Primordial Profound Qi in the mysterious land wouldn’t benefit them at all. And the resources in the palaces weren’t attractive enough for them either.

Their ultimate goal was to make their names on the final ranking list so that they would obtain the ultimate reward.

“But what makes them want to select eight castellans?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“Because, to enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land, the cultivators have to activate the ‘Eight Diagram’. The eight of them will need to each take a position on the diagram and generate Profound Qi to complete the activation. Therefore, only eight castellans will be selected to enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land,” Leng Wei answered.

In this case, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to obtain one of the eight positions. All they could depend on was their cultivation.

As for Ye Mo, fighting for a position would be even more challenging. Even though all of the seven-star castellans chose to give up the chance, there were still plenty of six- and five-star castellans around.

After 15 days, when the second stage of the battle ended, the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land would be opened up.

Ye Mo made up his mind to enter the Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land. Among all of the members in the Five Element League, he was no doubt the most powerful. And, if he got the chance to enter the mysterious land, he would be all alone again.

But there were only 15 days left. It would be difficult for him to make even more progress on his cultivation in that time.

His only chance would be to break through the Five Element Indestructible Tribulation and acquire the technique of the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm.

One palm for one pagoda! Once he could master the technique, the trick would be his strongest trump card.

“League Leader Ye Mo. Things are falling apart! The league leader of the Assassins League is leading a large group of his members and is about to attack us in the valley.”

An anxious shout echoed around the valley, attracting the attention of all the members of Ye Mo’s league. They stopped their discussion about the ranking list.

“The Assassins League? Song Gang?”

Upon hearing the warning, Ye Mo began to contemplate his next move and his expression turned solemn. Finally, Song Gang could no longer suppress the urge to get rid of him.
