Chapter 1488: First place?

The Wànjiè Tiānbēi, spanning across the sky above, bears countless names densely packed upon it.

These names are not personal names, but the names of myriad worlds within the Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Ye Zhangqing sensed the strong Tiāndào qìxī upon the ancient Wànjiè Tiānbēi, and curiously asked the Chen family's old ancestor.

Upon hearing this, the Chen family's old ancestor did not conceal anything, and replied truthfully.

"The origin of this Wànjiè Tiānbēi, I myself am not clear about; many versions circulate within the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, but no one can tell what is true or false."

"However, each time the Wànjiè Tiānbēi opens, it can be said to be a great reshuffling of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie."

"Victors gain, losers lose; some worlds profit from this, while others vanish outright."

According to the Chen family's old ancestor, this Wànjiè Tiānbēi is actually a battle for plundering world qi fortune.

Whenever the Wànjiè Tiānbēi appears, the heavenly dao power of each world seems to be forcibly sucked into it.

The entire world's heavenly dao qi fortune is stored within the Wànjiè Tiānbēi.

In this process, myriad worlds can freely act to plunder other worlds' heavenly dao qi fortune.

As for the method of plundering, it is simple: directly destroy the opponent.

As long as one defeats the opponent, that opponent's heavenly dao qi fortune will directly condense into the victor's world.

During the period when the Wànjiè Tiānbēi appears, such heavenly dao qi fortune plundering cannot be stopped; even the heavenly dao of the major worlds can only comply.

As for heavenly dao qi fortune, Ye Zhangqing knows it even without the Chen family's old ancestor explaining.

Whether a world's heavenly dao qi fortune is rich or thin can be said to be of utmost importance.

The most basic factor is this world's cultivation environment and the density of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi.

The more heavenly dao qi fortune there is, the denser the heavenly and earthly spiritual qi becomes, the better the cultivation environment, and the more suitable it is for cultivators to cultivate.

Conversely, if the heavenly dao qi fortune is too sparse, the entire world may eventually become a barren wasteland.

All kinds of natural disasters continue unabated; not to mention cultivation, even living there will become extremely difficult.

Simply put, the appearance of the Wànjiè Tiānbēi lets the myriad worlds of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie plunder each other, resulting in survival of the fittest.

Strong worlds can obtain more heavenly dao qi fortune, while weak worlds are likely to be outright destroyed in such a reshuffling.

After hearing the Chen family's old ancestor's explanation, Ye Zhangqing nodded.

Gazing at the Wànjiè Tiānbēi in the sky above, among the countless names Ye Zhangqing had not yet found the name of Haotu Shijie.

Moreover, with so many world names, there has been no change so far.

Seeming to guess Ye Zhangqing's thoughts, the Chen family's old ancestor continued speaking from beside him.

"The Wànjiè Tiānbēi has only just opened; the major worlds have not yet had time to act, so the names should not change for now."

"If a world plunders heavenly dao qi fortune, the Wànjiè Tiānbēi will rank the worlds according to the amount they have obtained, and then it will be clear at a glance; as for now…… uh……?"

Before the Chen family's old ancestor's words had finished falling, the Wànjiè Tiānbēi suddenly changed.

Seeing this, the Chen family's old ancestor stared, bewildered: "This isn't right; the Wànjiè Tiānbēi just appeared, didn't it?"

How long has it been? Not even half a Shíchén has passed, and already a world has successfully plundered heavenly dao qi fortune? Is this even possible?

Fixing his gaze tightly on the Wànjiè Tiānbēi, he soon saw the name of one world emitting waves of golden light.

Bathed in the golden light, it was impossible to tell which world's name it was.

But soon, the golden light moved to the first line of the Wànjiè Tiānbēi, indicating that this world currently possesses the most plundered heavenly dao qi fortune.

As time passed, the golden light gradually weakened, and the Chen family's old ancestor also stared intently at the Wànjiè Tiānbēi with a torch-like gaze.

Finally, after the golden light receded, the name of that world was finally revealed before everyone.

Upon seeing those four large characters at the top, the Chen family's old ancestor was dumbfounded.

"Haotu Shijie???"

He saw that the world ranked first was indeed Haotu Shijie; what the heck, the Chen family's old ancestor immediately felt that the Wànjiè Tiānbēi might have gone wrong.

This Haotu Shijie doesn't even know what the Wànjiè Tiānbēi is, does it?

Just now Ye Zhangqing had been asking him; if he hadn't explained it to Ye Zhangqing earlier, the other party would probably still be guessing in the dark.

How could a world that doesn't even know what the Wànjiè Tiānbēi is suddenly end up in first place for no reason?

Perhaps the other worlds haven't even had time to act, yet Haotu Shijie has already taken the lead?

The Chen family's old ancestor stood there dazed, hardly believing his own eyes.

Not only him, Ye Zhangqing and Shi Song beside him were also somewhat dazed at this moment.

The two of them carefully checked repeatedly before daring to confirm that the world now ranked first was indeed their Haotu Shijie.

Turning his head to look at the Chen family's old ancestor, Ye Zhangqing asked suspiciously.

"Senior Chen, the ranking of this Wànjiè Tiānbēi………………"

Ye Zhangqing found it hard to believe; how could it be said 'first' and just be first?

In response, the Chen family's old ancestor said somewhat resentfully.

"How would I know? You should ask yourselves what actions you've taken; have you recently undertaken any campaigns against other worlds?"

"If the Wànjiè Tiānbēi placed you in first, it must be because your Haotu Shijie did something; why are you asking me?"

But the Chen family's old ancestor kept feeling that Haotu Shijie's luck might be too good—just as the Wànjiè Tiānbēi opened, it went straight for first place?

Upon hearing his words, Ye Zhangqing and Shi Song exchanged a glance, and Ye Zhangqing said softly.

"Could it be the old ancestors?"

The 'old ancestor' Ye Zhangqing referred to are those from Yun Xiantai.

At present, the only people who have left Haotu Shijie seem to be them; as for others, given their strength, even if they wanted to plunder heavenly dao qi fortune, it would likely be impossible.

With that bit of strength, trying to annihilate an entire world is unrealistic, even if this world is very weak.

"Shīzūn? It's possible."

In response, Shi Song also nodded in agreement; besides those from Yun Xiantai, Shi Song could think of no one else.

The Chen Clan Ancestor standing to the side listened to their conversation, his face already turning extremely remarkable.

They secretly thought in their heart.

"Could it be the Azure Moon Sect?"

He knew about the matter of Haotu Shijie going to destroy the Azure Moon Sect.

Moreover, the Sect Master of the Azure Moon Sect had already been beheaded on the spot outside Haotu Shijie.

Logically, it shouldn't be difficult for Yun Xiantai and the others to destroy the Azure Moon Sect; it is completely doable.

But isn't this luck a bit too good?

The Wànjiè Tiānbēi didn't come early or late, but showed up just now; judging by the time, it's likely that Yun Xiantai and his group had already taken action before the Wànjiè Tiānbēi appeared.

And just when the Azure Moon Sect was finally destroyed, the Wànjiè Tiānbēi happened to appear, so it's as if Haotu Shijie was a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse?

For a moment, the Chen Clan Ancestor only felt his heart blocked, as if he had so easily obtained the first portion of Tiāndào Qìyùn?
