Hua Ruoxu! He was a legendary figure from the Seventh Heaven Domain. The clan behind him wielded Heaven Rank Laws and possessed terrifying might. The moment his identity was recognized, shock rippled through the crowd and countless people were visibly shaken. It was clear that Hua Ruoxu had come after hearing the news. “Young Master, it’s said the one who left his name is an unfamiliar face. No one could recognize him. He’s definitely not a known figure from the Eternal True Realm, but more likely an extraordinary talent from the Great Thousand Worlds.” Standing beside Hua Ruoxu was a beautiful and graceful woman in a flowing purple robe. Every movement she made carried the unmistakable presence of a mighty Emperor. “From the Great Thousand Worlds...that’s quite impressive,” Hua Ruoxu mused. “If I can fully integrate my dao law with my cultivation on this trip, then when it reaches true perfection, my ranking will surely rise to an even greater height.” His voice was deep and magnetic, his tone calm and indescribably confident. The beautiful purple-clad woman said with a soft smile, “Young Master, why concern yourself? This ranking is only temporary. He’s from the Great Thousand Worlds, even if he’s a rare genius, he will never compare to you in the long run.” No one found her words arrogant. After all, this was Hua Ruoxu, a legendary figure. Even in the Eternal True Realm, his presence commanded the respect of countless powerhouses. Hua Ruoxu merely smiled in response. The next moment, they vanished on the spot. Although he had appeared for only a brief moment, Hua Ruoxu’s presence carried its own brilliance. As news of his arrival spread, it stirred a great commotion and heated discussions across the city. Without a doubt, his appearance added even more weight and significance to Lin Xun’s feat of leaving his name on the Mythic Ranking. Many peerless cultivators who had previously dismissed the matter due to their pride and status, began to take notice. Everyone had a vague feeling that this mysterious figure from the Great Thousand Worlds was like a rising star, destined to shine with undying brilliance and become a formidable rival. “It’s him! It has to be him!” Meanwhile, in a majestic hall in Taiyi City, Luo Ling, seated at the head, narrowed her eyes as a piercing, icy light flashing within them. She had already heard the news that was shaking the entire city. Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Who?” “Who else but...my younger cousin.” Luo Ling’s voice carried a bone-chilling coldness. In her fair, lustrous hand, she held a piece of black jade. A faint smear of blood stained its surface. Although it had dried long ago, it remained vividly red and emanated a chilling and oppressive aura. At that moment, the black jade began to tremble slightly, releasing faint, almost imperceptible ripples of energy. It buzzed softly as if sensing something. This reaction made Luo Ling certain that the mysterious figure who had left his name on the Mythic Ranking of the Battle Stele of the Domains was Lin Xun! Because the black jade she held was imbued with the bloodline aura of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. It was a rare and mysterious treasure passed down from the Omega Lord of the Luo Clan. This treasure could detect the bloodline talents within members of the Luo Clan members. Upon sensing the aura of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer, it would resonate in a wondrous and mysterious way. Every newborn in the Luo Clan would have their innate talents tested by this stone at the earliest opportunity. Now, Luo Ling was using this very treasure to track and confirm Lin Xun’s whereabouts! “Inform the Heng and Wen Clans that Lin Xun has entered Taiyi City,” Luo Ling said coldly, her eyes flashing with a piercing chill. “And spread the word that the mysterious figure who caused the earthshaking phenomenon at the Battle Stele of the Domains was none other than Lin Xun, who is third on the wanted list!” Inside the main hall, all Luo Clan cultivators wore subtle, intrigued expressions. Luo Ling’s scheme could be summed up in a few words: Kill with a borrowed knife! Understanding her strategy, they couldn’t help but nod their heads in agreement. Days ago, Luo Ling had arrived in Taiyi CIty with a group of Luo Clan cultivators and immediately spread the news that Lin Xun was bound to appear in Taiyi City. At that time, it drew the attention of the entire city. Now, the forces of the Wen and Heng Clans were already lying in wait, ready to act. Moreover, many powerful cultivators were drawn in and openly declared that if the wanted criminal Lin Xun dared set foot in the city, they would show him no mercy. They were all after that sky-high bounty. Now, Lin Xun had not only entered Taiyi City, but had also triggered a spectacular and unprecedented phenomenon at the Battle Stele of the Domains. If his identity were to be exposed now, the flood of greed and killing intent it would unleash could be imagined. Without delay, someone left to carry out Luo Ling’s order. While the outside world roiled with turmoil and heated discussions, Lin Xun had returned to the inn. “Quick, tell me, what’s your rank on the Mythic Ranking?” asked the green sparrow impatiently, burning with curiosity. “Nine hundred and eighteenth,” Lin Xun answered casually. He made no effort to hide it, but a strange glimmer flickered in his eyes. Back at the stele, when he left his name, he sharply sensed a strange power surging from the stele into his body like a tide. It examined his cultivation, state of mind, will, and others. He instinctively resisted at first, but when he realized the force bore no malicious intent, he gradually relaxed. However, when it tried to probe his Origin Aeth Artery, he immediately cut it off! The Origin Aeth Artery was his greatest secret, concealing the second stage talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. It could never be exposed. Not even to the Battle Stele of the Domains. Because of that, his final rank was nine hundred and eighteenth on the Mythic Ranking. Lin Xun reckoned that if he hadn’t blocked the force, his ranking might have continued to climb, and not stopped at nine hundred and eighteenth... After all, among the factors the stele examined, such as foundation, talent, cultivation and will, innate talent carried the most weight. With that factor excluded, his position was naturally pushed lower. Even so, the green sparrow was left speechless when it heard the result After a long pause, it smacked its beak and exclaimed, “Monster, you really are a monster. That was your first time leaving your name and you already broke into the top thousand on the Mythic Ranking. This kind of feat is enough to echo through the ages and shake the entire Seventh Heaven Domain!” The Seventh Heaven Domain was home to the mighty Immortal Imperial Clans who wielded Heaven Rank laws. For such an event to shake the Seventh Heaven Domain was enough to indicate Lin Xun’s achievement was earth shattering! “First time leaving my name? So I can leave my name a second time in the future?” Lin Xun asked. The green sparrow replied, “Not exactly. Once you’ve used your will power to leave your name on the Battle Stele of the Domains, any achievements or improvements in your cultivation as you move through the Great Thousand Battle Domain will be sensed immediately by its power of order. “As you know, the power of the Battle Stele of the Domains can connect with the power of order in the Great Thousand Battle Domain. This means that whenever your strength grows or you achieve something noteworthy, that power will sense it and your ranking on the Mythic Ranking will adjust accordingly.” After a pause, the green sparrow concluded, “In short, from now on, the stronger the foes your defeat and the stronger you become, the more your ranking on the battle stele will rise.” Understanding dawned on Lin Xun. This also meant that his current ranking on the Mythic Ranking was only temporary and subjected to change. “Young man, work hard.” The green sparrow said with encouragement. “I’ve heard that in the past, there was a legendary Emperor who soared to the top one hundred in a single leap before reaching the Eternal True Realm. “That event not only shook the Great Thousand Battle Domain, but also brought tremendous benefits to the cosmic plane that the legendary Emperor came from. Its ranking among the Great Thousand Worlds also shot up into the top fifty. “One person alone changed the fate of their world and created an unprecedented miracle. How incredible is that!” Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the benefits of raising your cosmic plane’s ranking? The green sparrow looked at him with exasperation, as if saying, How do you not know that? Still, it explained patiently. It turned out that the higher a cosmic plane ranked among the Great Thousand Worlds, the closer its position would be to the Great Thousand Battle Domain. This in turn would transform the great dao aura of that plane, allowing it to flourish and grow stronger! Lin Xun drew a sharp breath in surprise. According to the green sparrow, the position of a cosmic plane was not fixed, but shifted and changed like the stars in the sky! For example, in the primeval era, the Ancient Nebula Road was ranked number one among all the Great Thousand Worlds, and its position was closest to the Great Thousand Battle Domain! However, as the Ancient Nebula Road declined over the ages, its rank plummeted and its position was pushed farther and farther away from the Great Thousand Battle Domain... After learning all this, Lin Xun found it increasingly difficult to stay calm. The rankings of the Great Thousand Worlds turned out to be so intricately tied to the rankings on the Battle Stele of the Domains. It even influenced the fate and prosperity of an entire universe! This was almost beyond belief! Lin Xun said thoughtfully, “So if I were to rise to the top of the Mythic Ranking, does that mean the Ancient Nebula Road, where I come from, would also ascend to the upper ranks of the Great Thousand Worlds?” The green sparrow nodded. “That’s more or less how it works.” Upon hearing this, a strange look crossed Lin Xun’s face. He had never set out to seek an opportunity to change the fate of the Ancient Nebula Road. Now, by sheer coincidence, he stumbled into such an opportunity... It left him feeling strangely passive. He quickly pushed the thought aside. He had no interest in playing the role of a savior. The only reason he chose to leave his name on the Battle Stele of the Domain was to prepare for entering the Battlefield of the Gods when he reached the 49th Immortal Heavenly Pass. As for everything else...he couldn’t afford to worry about it. “Green sparrow, I’ll be entering the Dao Ruins in three days. Can you use this time to tell me everything you know about it?” Lin Xun said thoughtfully. The green sparrow readily agreed. As Lin Xun and the green sparrow chatted, meanwhile in Taiyi City— As Luo Ling’s people spread the news, it didn’t take long before the entire city was thrown into an uproar.
