System's Super Sect Chapter 1430 - 1208: The Celestial Ranking Becomes Authority! (First Update, Monthly Pass Requested!)

The Celestial Nether King’s relaxed eyebrows and subtle smile instantly froze. Those who enter this Inner Courtyard are typically his trusted aides. They all know that unless it’s a major affair, no one should intrude into the Inner Courtyard.

Now, his trusted aide suddenly rushed into the Inner Courtyard, shouting that something major was amiss, giving him a sense of foreboding.

"What happened?"

The Celestial Nether King took swift steps, throwing open the door and walking into the courtyard.

The visitor held an Immortal Daily in hand, anxiously presenting it to the Celestial Nether King, saying, "Just now, good news from Beize Domain was delivered to the Royal Palace. As soon as we gathered the content of the good news, the Immortal Daily arrived, and as the subordinate glanced at the headlines..."

The Celestial Nether King, not waiting for him to finish, raised his hand to snatch the Immortal Daily with Vein Qi, his gaze falling on the headline. One breath, two breaths, three breaths... As time passed, the Celestial Nether King’s expression became increasingly grim.

The King of Harmony and Sorrow, King of Wujie, Ice King, and others hurriedly followed and gathered around the Celestial Nether King.

Upon seeing the headline of the Immortal Daily, the Ice King’s words faltered, his expression particularly complex, "This..."

"How is this possible? Why would He Youyuan speak for All-Knowing Tower? Sikong Zhuxing is merely a Middle Realm cultivator; how could he possibly kill a Ministry Level expert from Shrouding Sky Tower?" The King of Chaos’s eyes widened, his hair standing on end with fury.

Because of He Youyuan’s words and Sikong Zhuxing’s achievements, whether it’s their pretense or Sima Tianxuan’s assistance, the authenticity of the Celestial Ranking is beyond doubt.

If you still question it, for what reason?

Don’t you trust the He Youyuan who safeguards the sealed kings of the country?

The unprecedented example of a Middle Realm killing Upper Realm is right there, yet you don’t believe?

These two people are enough to uproot the seeds of doubt planted in the hearts of You Country’s people!

As they continued to glance down, their expressions worsened.

Especially upon knowing the Celestial Ranking had long placed Sikong Zhuxing above Ye Wujiao, as if proclaiming the Middle Realm’s Sikong Zhuxing was more powerful than the Upper Realm’s Ye Wujiao, the five of them were left speechless.

Meanwhile, the first thing Prince Longyang did upon returning to the Mansion was to contact Chen Xie.

After connecting through the Sound Transmission Stone, Prince Longyang quickly said, "Master Chen, you must know what happened in the Royal Palace. Honestly, with Sima Tianxuan present, I fear I am powerless."

"Why worry, Your Highness? You have already returned, go check the streets, listen around. See what’s on today’s Immortal Daily, understand what its headline is," Chen Xie said, beaming.

Though he paid no heed to the Celestial Nether King and others, the Immortal Daily continued to spread, and the Celestial Ranking continued to update.

The fact now available to smack them was more gratifying to Chen Xie.

Upon these words, Prince Longyang curiously exited the house, transforming into a fleeting shadow, ascending above, spreading his Perception around.

On the streets at this moment, people clutching Immortal Daily continually expressing astonishment.

"Is this the power of Middle Realm’s foremost Sikong Zhuxing? So strong! Middle Realm killing Upper Realm, a first from antiquity!"

"Even Sima Tianxuan back then didn’t have such impressive achievements, right? No need to say more, Sikong Zhuxing will be my faith in the future. Cultivation should be like him, Middle Realm slaying Upper Realm!"

"Mainly it’s All-Knowing Tower’s Celestial Ranking. Upon its initial release, Sikong Zhuxing’s power was ranked above Ye Wujiao. I speculated then, this Ye Wujiao should be the foremost Middle Realm in Shrouding Sky Tower. If he clashed with our You Country’s Middle Realm’s top Sikong Zhuxing, who would win?"

"Indeed, I thought about it like that too. But hearing Prince Zhenyou claim the Celestial Ranking was All-Knowing Tower’s strategy for fame and profit, I didn’t delve into it more. Unexpectedly, that Ye Wujiao turns out to be Upper Realm!"

"Okay, enough about us. Look at the Immortal Daily’s headline, did Elder He Youyuan not also marvel at the Celestial Ranking’s accuracy? Daring to place Middle Realm above Upper Realm, if simply arbitrarily ranked, that’s laughable."

"Do you suppose there’s a chance? Prince Zhenyou’s dissatisfaction arises because aside from Elder He Youyuan, there are two more people ranked above him on the Celestial Ranking! After all, Prince Zhenyou, in recent years, always considered himself second to Heaven-Gazing Gorge. Upon learning two more were ahead of him, he collapsed!"

"You’re really bold. Step aside, don’t get close to me, I fear when you lose your head and your blood splatters on my wife’s new clothes. But, to tell you the truth, it really seems to go that way!"

...

Voices of debate never cease in streets and alleys, Prince Longyang’s clouded mood suddenly clear and bright.

Upon returning to the mansion, his first words were, "Prepare gifts, stock heavy gifts for me, the heavier the better!"

Haha?

Still want that Golden Scroll?

Tonight, dream well, and in the dream, the Immortal Sect can be wiped out by you.

"Unexpectedly, He Youyuan really vindicated the Celestial Ranking." Prince Longyang couldn’t help but sigh.

Having He Youyuan’s words.

Your Sima Tianxuan’s words still weigh a bit light.

...

Immortal Sect.

After nightfall, Wenping just finished cultivation from the Final Forbidden Area, receiving Chen Xie’s transmission. Upon knowing Sikong Zhuxing defeated Ye Wujiao, Wenping wasn’t overly surprised.

How could the system-ranked Celestial Ranking encounter any mishaps?

However, the next bit of news indeed came as a surprise to Wenping.

Though Sikong Zhuxing hadn’t reached Upper Realm, he was sealed as king by the Sovereign and bestowed the title of Godfire, joining the Royal Family. This bodes that Sikong Zhuxing would ascend the political peak of You Country.

Hearing this news, Wenping realized the Sovereign of You Country intended to heavily rely on Sikong Zhuxing.

After all, the Middle Realm killing Sealed King is undeniably the first occurrence in Heaven-Gazing Gorge since ancient times.

"Seems he’s starting to doubt Prince Zhenyou, even feeling Prince Zhenyou, whom he relied upon, might not be completely loyal to him," Wenping reflected, though he didn’t think much of it.

Whether or not the Sovereign of You Country suspects Sima Tianxuan, Sikong Zhuxing is already on the path to ascending You Country’s political heights.

When the Immortal Sect surpasses You Country and stands atop Heaven-Gazing Gorge, You Country too would present a challenge.

Although he doesn’t aspire to be a Sovereign, You Country being such a vast territory with such a large population, someone has to manage it, and it has to be someone from the Immortal Sect.

That person might be Sikong Zhuxing.

"Transmit to Sikong Zhuxing, let him act boldly. If he encounters Upper Realm experts ranked forty-eighth and above, lure them to isolated places; the Sect will handle it."

Chen Xie replied, "Yes, Sect Leader! By the way, Sect Leader, Sikong Zhuxing just transmitted to me, saying the Sovereign recently summoned him, ordering a thorough investigation of Sima Tianxuan, leaving no clue behind. No third person is allowed to know this, warning Sikong Zhuxing not to use Inspection Hall members!"

"Then you can make a deal with this Sovereign of You Country and sell the intelligence on Sima Tianxuan to him. Remember, don’t sell it too cheaply. The more detailed the better, and don’t worry about how this Sovereign views the All-Knowing Tower."

Wen Ping knows that the appearance of the Celestial Ranking and the expansion of the Immortal Daily have probably made this Sovereign of You Country feel threatened. After all, as a Sovereign, he certainly doesn’t want to see an existence stronger than the Inspection Hall.

If the All-Knowing Tower can offer the intelligence on Sima Tianxuan, this Sovereign of You Country will likely become more fearful of the All-Knowing Tower. He might even consider taking it over or destroying it.

But as always, Wen Ping doesn’t care.

Because this Sovereign of You Country will need the All-Knowing Tower for at least the next five years, unless he’s willing to abdicate.

Wen Ping feels that it’s unlikely for someone accustomed to holding the highest power to easily let go and retreat into Hidden Cultivation.

"Yes, Sect Leader! I will contact Sikong Zhuxing later and swindle a large amount of White Crystal from the Sovereign of You Country."

"Celestial Materials are good too."

Wen Ping added a reminder.

"Got it!"

"By the way, what’s the situation with Weisheng Xingyu over there? Has he contacted you recently?"

"The situation is unclear for now, and he hasn’t contacted me. But don’t worry, he’s well protected by Lao Huang and very safe."

"Lao Huang?"

"That’s the Middle Realm mount you bestowed. As long as the Sealing King doesn’t show up, who can harm Elder Weisheng? On the other hand, Elder Huaikong is not doing well, being constantly chased by the Sky-Split Race, and unfortunately, a newly Breaking Realm Demon Ancestor was killed."

"Hmm?"

Lost an A-level lineage?

Wen Ping hurriedly opened the information on the Demon Race.

But found that the number of Demon Ancestors hasn’t decreased.

It seems they just Breaking Realm recently.

That’s fine, not too much of a loss, within an acceptable range.

After all, growth comes at the cost of blood; without such struggles, it’s impossible to birth so many Demon Ancestors. Without such struggles, cultivating in Demon Emperor Lake would leave them uncertain about when they might reach a satisfactory level.

"Sect Leader, should Elder Wood Dragon go and help?"

"Sending Wood Dragon now would harm them. I don’t want the Lake Demon Race in Demon Emperor Lake to become powerful but retreat or rely on others under pressure."

"I understand." Chen Xie naturally understood this reasoning, so he stopped discussing further.

"Is there anything else? If not, go about your own tasks."

"Yes, there is. Sect Leader, Prince Longyang wants me to ask when it would be convenient for you to visit the Immortal Sect?"

"The day after tomorrow."

I need to cultivate today.

Tomorrow I want to check on my parents’ progress in alchemy at the Pill Tower.

So I can only make a little time the day after tomorrow.

"Sect Leader, then you go ahead, I will relay it to him later. I expect Prince Longyang has prepared very generous gifts!"

"Tell him there’s no need to prepare. He can come himself, but if he brings gifts, then forget it."

Wen Ping doesn’t plan to continue accepting things from Prince Longyang; not only because the Immortal Sect doesn’t lack anything now, but also because he believes Prince Longyang can’t bring as lavish a gift as before.

Since it’s not as lavish, then it’s not attractive to him.

If there is no attraction, then there’s nothing worth receiving. This isn’t a store that takes payments regardless of the amount.

After this, Wen Ping didn’t continue chatting much. After putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, he went upstairs in the All-Knowing Tower to continue absorbing Wood Qi.

He now only wants to reach the Upper Realm.

At the same time, once the dormitory area upgrade is complete, he plans to upgrade the Nirvana House, where Vein Technique and Cultivation Technique can be transformed and upgraded. Until he can enhance Cultivation Technique and Vein Technique to the Primordial Vast Level.

Before that, continue accumulating reputation.

It can be imagined that upgrading the Nirvana House will require a lot of reputation at that time.

After all, based on past experience, the system definitely won’t allow it to be upgraded just with White Crystal or a mere 10,000 reputation.

And so, Wen Ping cultivated through the night.

With the Undying Tree and Jianmu producing plenty of Wood Qi, Wen Ping only felt he was drawing nearer to the Upper Realm.

Early in the morning, when Wen Ping was preparing to eat something in the kitchen before heading to the Pill Tower to check on his parents’ progress in alchemy, he first received a Sound Transmission from Chen Xie.

"Sect Leader, the Sovereign of You Country wishes to see you!"

(Another update is coming later.

Are the friends staying up late ready?

Take a shower and come back to continue writing.

Hehe.

Requesting a monthly pass...

I’m almost eighth on the monthly pass board.

Sweep Across the World is my idol; I grew up reading his books.

So, everyone, could you please not let him surpass me?)
