Chapter 785: Isn't It Because of You?

"What the heck?"

Mu Lingxi was flying along nicely beside Wang Jianqiang when she suddenly saw a streak of rainbow light flying toward them at an astonishing speed.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Subconsciously, she used her full strength and slapped out with her palm.

Bang!

That streak of rainbow light shattered instantly, turning into a mist of blood.

The Nascent Soul didn't even have time to escape before it exploded along with the physical body.

Mu Lingxi was stunned.

The person had been moving so fast that she thought a powerful enemy was attacking; how could they be so weak?

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang silently mourned for that person for a moment.

In truth, he had discovered the other party long ago and had been deliberately moving closer to them while flying.

However, he hadn't warned Mu Lingxi during that time.

Mu Lingxi had been chatting enthusiastically with him along the way and hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings.

Plus, while that person's speed was surprisingly fast, their strength was quite mediocre.

And so, the scene that just happened occurred.

The moment that person died, a golden dragon one zhang and one chi in length flew toward Mu Lingxi and coiled above her head.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi looked at the golden dragon above her head with a strange expression, "Senior Brother, is this the Fortune Golden Dragon?"

After a Cultivator obtains Fortune Power, it transforms into a golden dragon shadow.

As more Fortune Power is collected, the dragon shadow continues to grow.

Clearly, this object was the Fortune Golden Dragon.

"That's right."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"The Spirit Ranking Battle has already been going on for a month, and this guy's Fortune Golden Dragon has only grown to one zhang and one chi; isn't that a bit too pathetic?" Mu Lingxi showed a look of disdain.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "That is the speed of a normal person; you think everyone is Xuan Che?"

"Don't be impatient, these are just side dishes; Xuan Che is the main course."

Mu Lingxi nodded with a grin, "That's true, it's better to rob Xuan Che."

Afterward, the two continued forward.

As the two flew forward, their auras remained in a state of diffusion.

Wang Jianqiang was a true Seventh-Order Will Stage, while Mu Lingxi was disguised as a Seventh-Order Will Stage.

This Spirit Ranking Battle gathered the top batch of geniuses from the entire Youzhou.

Among them, two Seventh-Order Will Stage Cultivators were merely the lowest-level existences.

This caused the surrounding Cultivators, as they passed by, to act like cats that had smelled fish, one after another excitedly taking the initiative to approach the two.

And then they were instantly killed and Suppressed.

In just a few short days, the two hadn't killed a single Fortune Spirit, yet the length of Mu Lingxi's Fortune Golden Dragon had already reached nearly twenty zhang.

As for Wang Jianqiang, he hadn't made a move the entire time and hadn't obtained the slightest bit of Fortune Power.

The two continued to advance, constantly hunting contestants.

The Fortune Golden Dragon above Mu Lingxi's head grew larger and larger.

Outside.

The Earth Vein Stele, standing a hundred zhang tall, towered over the mountain peak.

Numerous figures hovered around the Earth Vein Stele.

Everyone was staring intently at the Earth Vein Stele.

On the Earth Vein Stele, Spirit Light shone, outlining many names from top to bottom.

The number was neither more nor less, exactly one thousand.

These were all Cultivators participating in the Spirit Ranking Battle; of course, the number of Cultivators participating in the Spirit Ranking Battle was far above one thousand.

Those displayed on the Earth Vein Stele were the top one thousand who had obtained the most Fortune Power.

The higher the ranking, the more Fortune Power obtained.

The rankings of these names changed every second.

However, the change cycle for the names in the top one hundred was clearly longer.

Among them, the names in the top three had not changed from beginning to end.

First, Xuan Che.

Second, Luo Ming.

Third, Nine-Nether.

In the crowd.

Wen Ya's gaze paused on the first-place position, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

If she remembered correctly, this Xuan Che should be a genius who had only recently risen to prominence in the Jade Cauldron Sect.

To think he was able to suppress Luo Ming.

Although the Spirit Ranking Battle had only just begun, the current ranking might not necessarily be maintained until the end.

But it was enough to demonstrate this person's strength.

She had never met Xuan Che.

The reason for knowing the other party was having heard Third Uncle mention them before.

Speaking of Xuan Che, one must mention a name.

Wang Daniu.

This name not only stirred up huge waves among the Beast Taming Sect Disciples, but even the upper echelons of the Beast Taming Sect were once shaken because of this name.

Wang Daniu joined forces with a similarly brilliant and talented demoness, stirring up huge waves in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm, nearly terrifying all the heaven-gifted geniuses of the Three Great Factions.

It is rumored that Xuan Che suffered setbacks at the hands of Wang Daniu and the demoness several times; if Xuan Che is already this strong, wouldn't Wang Daniu and the demoness be even more powerful?

Third Uncle had said before that the talent of Wang Daniu and the demoness was enough to rival hers; although she did not say anything out loud, she was actually quite skeptical in her heart.

Now, through this horizontal comparison with Xuan Che.

Perhaps what Third Uncle said back then was not an exaggeration.

Originally, Wang Daniu and the demoness both had hope of becoming Beast Taming Sect Disciples, but unfortunately, heaven envied their talent, and they perished in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"Eh, Sister Wen Ya, look quickly, Lu Xiu's name has appeared on the Earth Vein Stele."

Just at this moment, Long Er suddenly spoke up.

Wen Ya came back to her senses and immediately discovered that at the very bottom of the Earth Vein Stele, the original name had disappeared, and in its place were the two characters "Lu Xiu".

Just as Wen Ya saw Lu Xiu's name, the Spirit Light of Lu Xiu's name flashed, and it jumped up two places.

It rose from one thousandth place to nine hundred and ninety-eighth.

"Lu Xiu's ranking has risen again!"

Long Er said in surprise.

Wen Ya nodded, a smile appearing on her face, "To be able to rank in the top one thousand with a Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivation, it seems Junior Sister Lu has good luck."

Long Er nodded upon hearing this.

Just at this moment.

The two suddenly discovered that Lu Xiu's name had risen a few more places.

It rose again?

"It seems that Junior Sister Lu being able to enter the top one thousand is not entirely relying on luck; we seem to have underestimated Junior Sister Lu's strength," Wen Ya looked at Long Er and smiled.

Long Er nodded, "I wonder how Daoist Friend Wan is doing."

Wen Ya smiled, "Junior Brother Wan and Junior Sister Lu entered the Spirit Vein Stele together; since Junior Sister Lu's ranking is constantly rising, it proves that the two at least have not encountered danger, so I imagine Junior Brother Wan is safe for the time being."

"However, with Junior Brother Wan's strength, it is probably unlikely that he will have any eye-catching performance in this Spirit Vein Battle."

Long Er's expression relaxed, "Gaining some experience is enough; as long as he is safe, that is fine."

Hearing Long Er's words, Wen Ya could not help but look at her with a face full of surprise, "Long Er, how come I've discovered that your attitude toward Junior Brother Wan is a bit different?"
