HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 334
In the Night God Realm, Tian Shu, who had returned from the Ancient Path to Heaven half a month ago, stood in front of the Night God Palace and looked at the rank with a solemn expression.
However, when he saw that the Pearl of the Gods of the Last Night—First Night had belonged to Li Yu, his expression inevitably sank, and he had mixed feelings.
After he returned, he learned that the Evernight Heavenly Venerable had entered the Ten Realms Rift to find the last Night God Pearl—First Night.
However, he had not expected that three days ago, His Heavenly Imperial Majesty and the others would suddenly return with heavy injuries. Only three of the top ten experts of the Night God Realm had returned, and they were also severely injured.
As for His Heavenly Evernight Majesty, his life was in danger. His soul was severely injured, and he had been in a coma ever since.
According to their entourage, they were attacked by a ghost cultivator named Shen Ji and an ancient ferocious beast that he controlled in the Ten Realms Rift, and they suffered heavy casualties.
The other party wanted their Night God Pearl, but the Evernight Heavenly Venerable was better off dead than submissive. In the end, his soul was severely injured by the divine power. Then, he used a forbidden technique to burn his blood and soul to lead them to fight out.
However, the wound is getting worse. He's almost at the end of the rope.
Tian Shu was well aware that his master's lifelong wish was to collect the Night God Pearl. Now, he finally lacked the last pearl to fulfill his great ambition and complete his lifelong wish.
Therefore, he would rather die than hand over the Night God Pearl.
It was a pity that even though he saved the Night God Pearl, he had almost run out of steam.
"I must bring the First Night back to my master!" Tian Shu said with a stern look.
He knew that this was his master's wish. Although he did not know if his master could still wake up, he had to fulfill this wish of his master.
......
Furthermore, according to his master, the Night God Pearl can release divine power and condense the power of the Night God. It might have a chance to help its master recover.
However, it was impossible to snatch it from Li Yu.
During his return, he had heard everything about Li Yu and knew that he was someone that their Night God Realm could not offend.
Fortunately, Li Yu had to be a righteous person with virtue and talent. Therefore, he believed that he could persuade Li Yu to return the First Night to the Night God Realm.
At most, they would use magic treasures and other treasures in the treasure vault of the Night God Realm to exchange them.
'But how can I meet Li Yu? It might be difficult for me to approach a peerless expert like him!' Tian Shu pondered.
“Before meeting him again, I still need to understand him in detail. I have to make enough preparations first!”
He did not like to fight in unprepared battles. Only by knowing his enemy could he know what conditions he could use to exchange for him.
Or what words and methods could convince him?
…
In the Qingyun Sect, 20,000 young disciples from various immortal realms arrived through a teleportation array, causing the entire Qingyun Sect to instantly come alive.
These were only a small portion of Immortal Realm disciples who had come to answer the call. The majority of the remaining people were still waiting at Emperor Yu Mountain.
After arriving at the Qingyun Sect, these disciples of the Eternal Realm were like a bunch of hicks who had never seen the world.
They all looked astonished as their eyes widened. They looked around and breathed non-stop.
“As expected of Holy Land number one. This place is too awesome!”
"Geez, this immortal energy and Dao runes are too rich!"
“I'm really envious of this mortal disciple. They really have the chance to cultivate in such a precious place!”
“Yes, Emperor Yu really benefits this world!”
“I'm so envious! I wonder if I will have the chance to cultivate here in the future after becoming a disciple of Emperor Yu Academy!”
"Maybe!"
Looking at the expressions of the Eternal Realm disciples, the Qingyun Sect disciples discussed softly, "Why do these people from the Eternal Realm look like they have never seen the world?"
“Yes, from the looks of it, they are not much better than when we first arrived!”
“Huh, it seems like the people in the Eternal Realm are mediocre!”
“Mm, our Qingyun Sect is the best. I won't leave even if the Eternal Realm wants me!”
"All right, everybody listen up!" Ji Qinglan's voice suddenly sounded. “Later, you can enter the Dao Seeking Tower one by one according to the number you received before. A thousand people can enter at once!”
Ji Qinglan began to announce the details of the assessment.
The assessment method this time was not complicated. It allowed these young people to enter the Dao Search Tower to challenge the levels. In the end, the top ten thousand would be selected according to the overall ranking as the first group of disciples.
Now that the Dao Search Tower had been upgraded by the Heavenly Dao, it was easy for the space inside to accommodate over ten thousand people for assessment.
Upon hearing Ji Qinglan's words, the young disciples of the Eternal Realm became nervous.
After all, the subsequent judgment would affect their fate. If they could enter the top ten thousand, they could become disciples of Emperor Yu Academy with a promising future.
Otherwise, they will pass the opportunity.
However, his appraisal method gave a lot of hope, especially those who were not so talented but worked hard.
If this assessment is only judged on talent, their chances are very slim.
Now that the Dao Search Tower was a comprehensive test for someone, it gave them a high chance. At the very least, it could make them cover the difference in their cultivation through other advantages.
With Ji Qinglan's command, the disciples within the top thousand entered the Dao Search Tower one after another with nervous and excited hearts. They begin the most important test of their lives, the test that determines their fate.
…
After Li Yu exited the Black Domain, he immediately led everyone on the way home.
However, as they approached the Peak Spirit Hero again, they suddenly saw a large group of people flying past in the distance.
Those people had empty eyes, expressionless faces, and stiff bodies. Behind them was a ferocious-looking giant beast.
There was a coffin on the back of the giant beast with a flag embedded in it.
It looked like a funeral procession from afar, but Li Yu saw something wrong after taking a closer look.
Some of these people were familiar faces. They were from the Eternal Realm Ancient Family. There is even a familiar face—You Rong.
However, You Rong's face was no longer as lively as before. His eyes were empty as if he had become a puppet.
Li Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this. An unknown flame appeared in his heart. He didn't need to think to know what had happened. These people might be controlled by someone, and they might even have become puppets.
His figure flashed and instantly arrived in front of the crowd, blocking their path.
It was as if they still had consciousness and had yet to fully become puppets.
“Where did this boy come from? How dare you get in my way!” A creepy voice sounded from the coffin.
At the same time, the flag fluttered violently, and a great power stirred up waves of tantrums in the surrounding void.
“So that's Pangu Banner-ku!” Li Yu recognized the flag stuck in the coffin. This was the information in his newly fused memory.
The banner of Pangu and the Xuanyuan Sword were magic treasures refined by him in his previous life. They were purified from the materials and fragments of the Primordial Treasure he had obtained in his previous life.
It seemed that after he died, this magical treasure roamed here and was obtained by this person.
Furthermore, Panji Pangu, who was originally fine, was filled with dense yin energy and terrifying ghost energy. Li Yu did not recognize him at first sight.
Sensing the fluctuation of magic power emitted by Panji Pangu, he made sure that it was Panji Pangu.
Since this was Panji Pangu, the person inside the coffin was most likely a mysterious person named Shen Ji.
"You're Shen Ji?" Li Yu asked coldly.
There was a long silence inside the coffin before the sinister voice sounded again. “You really know me?”
“Stop pretending and get out of here!” Li Yu snorted coldly. His words were law, and the lid of the coffin on the back of the ferocious beast was sent flying with a powerful force.
A figure was pulled out by an invisible force.
This person was shrouded in strange armor and held an ancient sword in his hand. However, there was no physical body inside that armor, just a lump of evil souls.
"Who are you?" Shen Ji's voice became low, and even his aura weakened.
He was clearly shocked by Li Yu's ability to rule the law.
"Let these people go!" Li Yu ordered coldly. His voice was dignified and unquestionable.
He knew that many of these dolls must be dolls. Perhaps only a few newly captured people who had not had time to be purified could be saved.
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the soul body under Shen Ji's armor fluctuated slightly, and the evil aura around him increased again.
He was well aware that he might have a problem. The new outsider he caught this time might have a friend.
Although he was unaware of the other party's background or strength, his instincts told him that this person definitely could not be taken lightly.
“Hehe, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, and I didn't know that you had any friends here! Shen Ji smiled apologetically and immediately formed a hand seal to dispel the spell controlling those newly captured people.
In an instant, You Rong and many people from the Eternal Realm woke up as if they were having a nightmare. They were crying and panting. Grain of sweat instantly broke on their foreheads, and their faces were pale from prolonged fear.
"Emperor Yu, Emperor Yu saved us!" Someone noticed Li Yu and was instantly overjoyed.
The others also looked at Li Yu, feeling extremely grateful and happy that they had escaped death.
They were well aware that without Li Yu, only death awaited them.
The power of that old ghost cultivator was terrifying. Even Heavenly Majesty is no match for him.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Emperor Yu!” Everyone is on their knees.
"Sister Li Yu!" You Rong regained his senses and rushed over with a pleasant surprised expression. He jumped onto Li Yu's body before being pushed aside by Li Yu.
In the end, this girl was like soft silk that directly wrapped around Li Yu's arm, and she couldn't let go.
“This is good, Brother Li Yu. You really came to save me. I knew you'd show up. You always show up when I'm in danger!” You Rong tightly hugged Li Yu's arm with tears in her eyes.
The danger he encountered this time really scared him. He thought he was dead meat.
However, at the most desperate moment, he wondered if Li Yu would magically appear and save him.
It was only the last hope and illusion he gave her when she was desperate.
However, he did not expect Li Yu to actually save him.
"What should I do? You've saved my life again. I really have to use my body..”
"wait. I just don't like this guy. Saving you is just a matter of convenience!” Li Yu shut You Rong's mouth. He naturally knew what this girl wanted to say.
Moreover, he hated the girl who only knew how to speak without any sincerity.
"Hmph, I don't believe you!" You Rong pulled out Li Yu's palm and said with a smile.
Seeing Li Yu distract him from her, Shen Ji was about to escape when he was entangled by a thread.
It was Huang's fur.
"It's not over yet, and you want to go?" Li Yu asked coldly.
“I've let go of your friend, and everyone misunderstood. What else do you want?" Shen Ji said in a low voice. He looked at Tai Ri, Huang, and the others with fear.
The feeling these people gave him was not simple. Clearly, he had actually found the nut hard to crack this time around.
“Emperor Yu, this person has killed many people from various immortal realms. My younger brother's soul was devoured by him. Emperor Yu, please seek justice for us!”
“That's right, please uphold justice for us, Emperor Yu!” Everyone knelt down and begged again.
“Brother Li Yu, the others are right. This guy's bad. He killed a lot of people. If you don't save us this time, we will definitely be killed by him and refined into puppets! You Rong said angrily.
Li Yu did not speak. In fact, he had no intention of detaining this person without their petition.
After all, Xuanyuan Sword and the Pangu Banner were his magic treasures, and he had to take them back. Furthermore, this person was clearly a dissident.
The best way to deal with dissidents is to naturally eliminate them forever to prevent future problems.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Ji immediately controlled Panji Pangu to create a powerful magic power domain. At the same time, he activated the armor outside of his body to fight against Desolate's hair-retaining power before turning into a wisp of ghosts that instantly escaped.
Then, he attached himself to the Xuanyuan Sword and prepared to flee.
The whole process is done in one go. It was so fast that many people were unable to react in time before the Xuanyuan Sword flew without a trace.
Li Yu snorted and formed a hand seal. Xuanyuan Sword instantly flew back. At the same time, the aura of Pangu Panji suddenly changed. Then, it was like a huge hand that instantly enveloped the Xuanyuan Sword.
"How can you control my magic treasure!" The trapped Shen Ji was shocked and exclaimed.
“Your magical treasure? This is a magical treasure that was refined by me in my previous life! Li Yu said coldly.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Shen Ji was startled and immediately understood what kind of existence he had encountered this time. The fear from his soul instantly drowned him, and he panicked.
