Chapter 950: Net Worth Surges Again (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Lin Qi looked at his ranking.

It had risen to 88th, which was already very high.

Consider that Mo Ji, who had already comprehended the fourth true meaning, was only ranked 150th.

Yet he felt Mo Ji couldn’t defeat Wei Gu on the 13th floor, nor even the weaker Ni He.

It was because the opponent’s talent wasn’t high enough, and his awakened abilities weren’t numerous enough.

Although his comprehension had improved, his combat power still wasn’t strong enough.

And he himself had already reached 88th, slightly stronger than Yi Ang.

According to Lei Wen’s description, Yi Ang’s strength ranked at most 99th in the Tai Chu Sacred Land.

In the Space-Time Sacred Land, his ranking would be slightly higher.

Now, across the entire Tai Chu Sacred Land, only the 87 beings ranked above him in the Cosmic Fourth Realm might be stronger.

Among the Nine Supreme Forces, overall, many were still stronger than him.

Among humans, hidden tigers and crouching dragons still existed—there were many powerful Cosmic Fourth Realm beings.

Thinking of this, he spoke:

“I’m leaving!”

“Wei Gu, Ni He, we’ll fight again next time!”

After speaking, he chose to leave the Original Tower under the watchful eyes of the two evaluators.

……

When Lin Qi reached the 14th floor of the Original Tower, his ranking on the external leaderboard also surged dramatically.

The change in ranking was extremely obvious, and soon members began to notice.

“Lin Qi’s ranking has risen again.”

“Indeed, it jumped significantly—he’s a legendary genius who set a historic record in the Abyssal Realm.”

“But his ranking rose too fast, didn’t it?”

“He’s now at 88th.”

“Every Cosmic Fourth Realm being in the top 100 is a monster.”

“Each was once a top-tier genius, with tens of thousands of years of cultivation and profound comprehension of the laws.”

“Lin Qi has only cultivated for a thousand years, yet he’s already caught up—unbelievable.”

“But the stronger Lin Qi is, the better!”

“It reflects the strength of our Tai Chu Sacred Land.”

“But with Lin Qi this powerful, many Cosmic Sixth Realm beings will likely want to take him as a disciple.”

“I think many Cosmic Sixth Realm beings will compete to claim him as their disciple.”

“Even Supreme beings might intervene—it’s not impossible.”

“That’s too difficult; even legendary geniuses don’t always succeed.”

“Too bad—if he were from another Supreme Force, it would be no problem.”

“But we are the Tai Chu Sacred Land—our standards are higher.”

……

In the core region, within a manor.

“Huhuh~”

Mo Ji, a towering figure with a body like carved rock, hovered cross-legged above the training ground.

Countless space runes orbited his body.

Simultaneously, he flipped through the Book of Void.

His fingers traced the symbols of space runes in the air.

“Of the ten true meanings of space law, I’ve now fully mastered three.”

“Now I’m comprehending the fourth true meaning—Creation.”

“The difficulty is immense. I’ve observed the Chaos artifact, the Void Cube, for two full years.”

“Then spent ten years digesting its information, yet only grasped three subtleties.”

“This progress is far too slow.”

“The later subtleties grow increasingly complex and profound—without vast amounts of time, it’s impossible.”

Mo Ji felt frustrated.

“Ding!”

Suddenly, a large screen projected before him.

“Huh?”

“Fei Xi’s message—what does she want?”

On the screen appeared the face of the feathered being Fei Xi, her expression uneasy:

“Mo Ji, I have news: Gun Demon Lin Qi has successfully reached the 14th floor of the Original Tower.”

Mo Ji’s expression turned astonished:

“What?”

“The 14th floor of the Original Tower?!”

“How did Lin Qi, a genius who only comprehends the Concealment true meaning, reach the 14th floor of the Original Tower?”

Mo Ji was deeply puzzled.

Fei Xi speculated:

“Because Lin Qi is a legendary genius—he possesses extraordinary physical attributes and devastating technique potency.”

“It’s said he defeated other top-tier geniuses in the Abyssal Realm the same way.”

Mo Ji shook his head:

“I’m still stuck on the 13th floor of the Original Tower, unable to break through.”

“He’s surpassed me so quickly!”

“I’ve cultivated for twenty thousand years.”

“Lin Qi has cultivated only one-twentieth of my time.”

“I can only say—he’s truly a top-tier genius, beyond my reach.”

Mo Ji felt a sense of helplessness.

Facing such a genius, with his unparalleled speed of progress and combat power,

was a being he could never catch up to in a lifetime.

Immediately, Mo Ji adjusted his mindset: if he couldn’t match him, then he couldn’t.

Everyone had their own path.

He just needed to walk his own well.

Then he smiled: “Gun Demon Lin Qi is so outstanding—there will surely be an exciting show ahead.”

On the screen, the feathered being Fei Xi also smiled:

“Exactly—we’ll get to watch a good show.”

“The Tai Chu Sacred Land hasn’t been this lively in a long time.”

……

At the same time, in another manor in the core region.

In a lush garden, Lei Wen, dressed in a golden robe with handsome features, gazed at the projected information before him.

He couldn’t help but sigh:

“Truly an astonishing result.”

“In just over a decade since his return, he’s made such tremendous progress.”

“It seems Lin Qi acquired something extraordinary in the Abyssal Ruins.”

“I’m currently ranked 299th—far behind Lin Qi.”

“But give me some time, my power will surge dramatically.”

“Especially with space law—I now feel space law has become much clearer.”

He clenched his fist; golden and silver patterns surfaced on his body, and intense space ripples radiated from him.

Over these past dozen years, his strength had improved considerably.

Yet compared to Lin Qi, the improvement was not obvious.

……

Lin Qi, now a legendary genius, drew attention from countless members with every move.

The news of his breakthrough to the 14th floor of the Original Tower spread rapidly across the Sacred Land.

Soon, countless members, core members, and even Cosmic Sixth Realm beings learned of it.

“Lin Qi is truly extraordinary—he reached the 14th floor of the Original Tower after only a thousand years of cultivation.”

“His breakthrough to the Cosmic Sixth Realm is now virtually assured.”

“He ought to become my disciple.”

Cosmic Sixth Realm beings began discussing it.

……

In the core zone, within a purple estate.

“Hummm!!”

A massive violet spacecraft, shaped like a giant blade, slowly descended onto the training ground.

The hatch opened, and a tall, imposing man clad in a purple robe stepped out, his face stern and commanding.

On the training ground, Horton smiled upon seeing the man and said:

“Master, you’re back!”

Lei Zun Xing Yu nodded and looked at the projected screen before him:

“I’ve just returned, and I didn’t expect to receive good news about Lin Qi.”

Horton, as burly as a lion, sighed:

“Yes, our junior brother is growing stronger by the day.”

“He’s given us another surprise.”

“This time, he broke through two layers of the Original Tower in one go, reaching level 14.”

“I’m only at level 13 in the Original Tower—compared to him, I’m truly ashamed.”

Lei Zun patted Horton on the shoulder and said:

“Now that I’m back, and he’s this outstanding, it’s time he learned certain things.”

“Notify Lin Qi. Have him come over for a gathering.”

Horton smiled: “Got it!”

……

In the core zone, at Tianhai Residence.

“Lin Qi, you’re truly awesome—congratulations!”

Lin Qi stared at the projected large screen showing Gu Taao.

Not just him—his other friends were also stunned by his achievement and sent messages to congratulate him.

Only after several hours did the messages finally die down.

His gaze locked onto the large screen.
