Though the crowd on the turtle shell was drenched in blood, their faces were alight with joy.
Even though they had not obtained any treasures in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, and the Fairy Ascension Platform had only opened for a single year,
the gains they secured were anything but small!
“Three!” A cultivator held up three fingers, face brimming with delight.
Having slain three enemies of the same boundary status, they will be blessed by Heaven and Earth once the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky closes, ensuring smooth sailing in all endeavors until it opens again next time.
Just the rewards from Heaven and Earth might suffice to propel him even further.
More importantly, the rewards from Heaven and Earth come with merit, something that cannot be taken by others, as forceful seizing would surely damage one’s luck!
A cultivator next to him shook his head, somewhat regretfully, “I only killed two!
But one was at Stepping Sky Five-fold!”
Who could have imagined that right after bursting out of the Fairy Ascension Platform, he’d encounter a Sealed Emperor Cultivator thrown right next to him by the platform, a fellow who had just lost his own authority and whose combat power was less than an ordinary Stepping Sky Three-fold.
He had opportunely picked up the spoils.
To the right, a woman adjusted her hair, “I didn’t do too well, only teaming up with a fellow Daoist to strike down one person…
Stepping Sky Six-fold!”
The others immediately looked at the woman with admiration on their faces.
Even a gravely injured Stepping Sky Six-fold was still a Stepping Sky Six-fold!
Aren’t they afraid of self-destructing?
This Daoist companion is not to be trifled with!
Already with the wind in her favor, she still fights so desperately.
It’s best to keep one’s distance from such a person, not to make an enemy nor a friend.
The woman smiled faintly and hugged the Immortal Sword in her arms, allowing the others to distance themselves slightly.
However, she didn’t mind the estrangement of the others, but rather enjoyed this sensation even more.
A four-armed cultivator beside her changed the subject, pulling out a Bai Ze token from his embrace with a gleam of amusement in his eyes, “After this battle in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, having slain so many cultivators and showcased one’s strength, one should be able to enter the Bai Ze List, right?”
His words immediately drew sidelong glances from the crowd, “Four-armed Daoist companion actually has a spot on the Bai Ze List?
Would you share it with everyone?”
The four-armed cultivator began to laugh, “Certainly.”
He tapped on the Bai Ze token, and an image was projected above the Turtle Shell Boat, thoughtfully translated into a script commonly used across All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The Bai Ze List is divided into the Hatchling Dragon List and the regular Combat List.
The Hatchling Dragon List includes all underaged Divine God Beasts and cultivators of Stepping Sky Three-fold and below—essentially, this list is meant for Divine God Beasts.
To the eyes of Divine God Beasts, Stepping Sky Three-fold and below are virtually indistinguishable.
This serves as a form of protection for cultivators.
Those below Stepping Sky Three-fold revealing their talents can be listed, known throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, attracting Greater Powers to find suitable disciples.
After surpassing Three-fold, one withdraws from the Bai Ze List, and for quite some time they cannot be listed again, allowing geniuses to develop peacefully, unnoticed.
Of course, if one’s combat power suffices, theoretically, even at Stepping Sky First-fold, ascending the Combat List is entirely possible—the Combat List doesn’t discriminate by boundary status, it only measures combat power!
The Bai Ze List is not just for ranking; truth be told, ranking is just an afterthought.
Its real purpose, perhaps, is known only to Old Bai Ze himself—even Little Bai Ze lacks such memories!
The people on the Turtle Shell were all Existences of Stepping Sky Four-fold, long past the Hatchling Dragon List—actually, with a bunch of Divine God Beasts suppressing it, the Hatchling Dragon List had little to do with cultivators.
What cultivators truly care about is the Combat List after attaining profound Tao cultivation!
When the crowd turned their attention to the Combat List, they were flabbergasted.
Two names appeared on the list, joyously leaping:
Dragon Turtle: Su He
Human Race: Su Huanian
The names flickered and hopped as though they’d taken a stimulant but they weren’t climbing up the ranks.
The capabilities of the Dragon Turtle were well-known to all, and Su Huanian’s talent was also evident.
If the two truly made it to ranking two or three thousand, or even closer to the front, that would be acceptable.
But at this moment, both names seemed to frolic energetically, now up, now down, intermittently leaping from the Combat List to the Hatchling Dragon List, chasing each other as if…
playing joyously and chasing each other on the Bai Ze List!
Completely disregarding the Bai Ze List’s ranking rules.
Utterly lawless!
Had this couple finally broken the Bai Ze List?
The crowd exchanged looks of bewilderment.
At the same time, amidst an inexplicable chaos, inside Bai Ze Building.
Little Bai Ze watched the main Bai Ze List with sweat dripping down its forehead, as the names of Su Huanian and Su He swam like unruly fish, going wherever they wished, and could even inadvertently leap into the top thirty spots on the list.
Were these places for a Little Turtle and a cultivator less than three hundred years old to go?
Even White Spirit, unprecedented in the past, had never played this way!
What had these two done?
Bai Ze held a pen in its paw, wiping toward the two names, and with a stroke, tapped on Su He’s name.
The name disappeared as if it never existed.
Not merely vanished, but…
truly as though it had never appeared!
“Time…” Little Bai Ze murmured in shock, eyes sparkling.
The Dragon Turtle had touched the forbidden, tampered with the taboo of time!
Time, such a force that defies logic; who is mighty and who is weak in the face of time?
Even the Bai Ze List couldn’t make a judgment.
It took a few deep breaths, swallowed hard, then pointed once again at Su Huanian’s name.
When it did, a great mountain materialized, and sword light shone through paper, “clang”ing against the pen in its claw.
The dark pen thrummed, trembling.
Bai Ze grew ever more astonished, “Sword Mountain!
Tao Master!”
It was confounded for a long moment.
Had a Tao Master returned from Samsara?
The Tao domain and one’s Life Bound Magic Treasure are almost indistinguishable, stating that one’s Life Bound Magic Treasure is their very self isn’t wrong.
With Sword Mountain present, it would be natural for Su Huanian to be counted among the strongest in the present age.
But…
this woman surely couldn’t control Sword Mountain perfectly, or else her combat power wouldn’t fluctuate so wildly, causing even the Bai Ze List to fail in its judgment.
