Chapter 458: All Sects' Heavenly Pride List, the Transmission Array Is About to Open

As for this Heavenly Pride List, it's basically each sect's ranking list; it's just that disciples like to call it that, and calling it that sounds more impressive.

"You guys say, which senior brother can rank first on the Heavenly Pride List this time?"

"No need to say, it's definitely Senior Brother Tang Zhou! His formation attainment in this realm has already reached the pinnacle; when he acts, a formation appears—simply terrifying!"

"What that senior brother said is right, but I won't listen. Senior Brother Tang Zhou is indeed strong, but Senior Brother Meng Fan is not bad either; moreover, Senior Brother Meng Fan is a body cultivator, his qi and blood power fully unleashed—who would dare not avoid his sharpness?"

"Alright, alright, you don't need to argue; the first place on the Heavenly Pride List is definitely our Blasting Heaven Gang's Senior Brother Long Wang, the rest is just nonsense."

"When the Heavenly Pride List was first established, many observing inner-door disciples began to argue fiercely; the atmosphere was extremely 'nuclear-harmonious'."

"Soon after, only three figures remained on the martial arts platform—exactly the three people most disciples were talking about."

"Tang Zhou, Meng Fan, and Long Wang."

"Next, after they three compete, the ranking for first, second, and third on the Heavenly Pride List will be determined."

"Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Meng, long time no see."

"A year ago, when I went out for sect training, I made an appointment with the two of you for an exhilarating battle; today that day has finally arrived."

"Clad in inner-door disciple robes, Long Wang was the first to clasp his hands and smile."

"The two of them are no ordinary individuals—one has a Dao Formation Immortal Body, the other a Combat Immortal Body; four years ago, during the sect's founding nine-cauldron test, they even achieved the astonishing nine resonances."

"But I'm not lacking either; I entered the sect to train when I reached the Double Heaven stage, and a few years ago I accidentally awakened the hidden Dragon King Immortal Body; moreover, during this year of sect training, I've had many extraordinary encounters."

"Senior Brother Long Wang, go for it! Long Wang returns, sweeping away everything!"

"Senior Brother Long Wang laughed! When Long Wang smiles, life and death are unpredictable!"

"Below the platform, the disciples supporting Long Wang all raised their voices in cheers."

"After exchanging greetings, they directly got down to business."

"Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Meng, how should we fight today?"

"Should Senior Brother Tang go first, or Senior Brother Meng go first, or should both Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Meng come together?"

"Long Wang clasped his hands behind his back and spoke."

"Haha, it's been a year, Long Brother, you're becoming more and more arrogant."

"How about this: we three will go up together; whoever falls off the platform first loses, and the last person remaining on the platform will be this time's first place on the Heavenly Pride List."

"Tang Zhou smiled and made the suggestion; Meng Fan and Long Wang both readily agreed."

"Alright, then let's go."

"Come on."

"After the three made up their minds, they simultaneously activated their respective immortal bodies."

"Three massive surges of primordial source power erupted, shooting straight up!"

"Only saw Tang Zhou stepping a formation with one hand, pointing a finger into the void; threads of formation power appeared out of thin air, and a Golden Immortal-tier formation was instantly inscribed!"

"Meng Fan's whole body was enveloped by massive qi and blood power; his already sturdy muscles rapidly swelled, but fortunately the inner-door disciple attire was exceptional and was not torn."

"To outsiders, he now looked like a small hill, his huge muscles containing tremendous energy!"

"Seeing this, Long Wang gave a nonchalant, crooked smile."

"Employing his immortal technique, the Dragon King Annihilation Art was unleashed to its fullest, terrifying primordial source power sweeping across the entire martial arts platform."

"Bang!"

"In an instant, the three violently collided with each other!"

"After a thunderous roar, Long Wang was first blasted away by the terrifying great Golden Immortal formation, crashing heavily onto the ground below."

"Next came Meng Fan; the heavy blow from Long Wang also hurt him, and after exerting his full strength he could no longer withstand the Golden Immortal formation, falling together to the ground below."

"Boom!"

"After Tang Zhou's formation withstood Meng Fan's mountain-like bodily impact, plus the residual might of Long Wang's strike, it finally could not hold, shattering apart; the explosive shockwave also sent him flying off the platform."

"The disciples below who had been loudly cheering all fell silent at the sight, not a sound to be heard."

"They never expected this outcome."

"Finally, the elder in charge of ranking the Heavenly Pride List stepped forward and directly announced the result: 'Since all three disciples fell from the martial arts platform, I, this elder, declare that these three are tied for first place on this Heavenly Pride List.'"

"Tied for first place—this result is actually fair and just."

"Senior Brother Tang's formation attainment has reached the pinnacle; Long Mou admires him."

"Senior Brother Long's Dragon King Annihilation Art is indeed extraordinary; admiration, admiration."

"Senior Brother Meng, your Combat Immortal Body has actually progressed further; that strike made my insides churn—tonight you treat me to a late-night snack."

"Haha, sure thing, sure thing."

"With the announcement of the inner-door Heavenly Pride List, the Heavenly Pride Lists of the other sects were also finalized at the same time and announced."

"Sequence Heavenly Pride List First: Yun Lan."

"Core Heavenly Pride List First: Li Yin."

"Outer Door Heavenly Pride List First: Ji Ni Tai Mei."

"It's actually funny—this Ji Ni Tai Mei was originally an inner-door disciple, but the sect's disciple regulations changed too quickly; he, whose talent was slightly weaker, couldn't keep up, so he returned to the outer door to retrain."

"In his own words: 'It's hard to stand firm in the inner door; returning to the outer door to vie for the dragon's head…'"

"In the following year, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect continued to develop rapidly, and under its leadership the two great Dao realms also changed day by day."

"Emerging powerful forces sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain; the strong among the major powers and loose cultivators also appeared in endless succession, and the two great Dao realms welcomed a true golden age!"

"……"

"At the border between the Heavencloud Dao Realm and the Purplefeather Dao Realm, this place was once the site of the Desolate Immortal Tomb, but the tomb has now become history and a heap of ruins."

"Not far from the tomb, boom boom boom boom!"

"Four immensely powerful figures are locked in battle, terrifying creative power sweeping across heaven and earth."

"Each of their blows can shatter billions of miles of void! One punch explodes stars, one foot stomps out endless darkness!"

Ten thousand li away, a white and a black figure are trembling... watching.

Big Brother, the Stone Bloodline are incredibly strong!

Their cultivation speed is so fast, their strength is unmatched! Simply heaven-defying talent! How long has it been that they've all become Creation Immortal Kings!

Black Emperor opened his mouth, shocked.

You see, Second Brother, who let you do nothing but sleep every day—now the Stone Bloodline have surpassed you all.

Look at me, Big Brother—I'm now at the Immortal King Fourth Layer.

No, Second Brother, you've actually reached Grand Luo Peak—your cultivation speed isn't lacking compared to mine, Big Brother! How can you have such divine speed just from sleeping every day?

Xiao Bai, who had been educating Black Emperor, after sensing its cultivation, was shocked and spoke up.

Black Emperor: "Hehe, just lucky, just lucky."

Who let my cultivation art be the Sleep-Dream Ascension Grand Art? I have to sleep every day.

However, the cultivation speed is still too slow; just as Big Brother said, I myself am being surpassed by Shi Hao and the others who are growing step by step—unacceptable! Now that I've reached the more vast Upper Three Dao Realm, I must start seeking my own opportunity.

Soon, the Sect Master has already said that the grand teleportation formation spanning the Upper Three Dao Realm and the Lower Two Dao Realm will open next year; our Azure Cloud Sect's development is also nearly complete, so by then we should set out for the Upper Three Dao Realm.
