The Great Zenith Domain, the Night God Palace. As the five top demonic sects, the Night God Palace’s capability was in no way inferior to any Holy Land.
At that moment, the Night God Palace’s Master and the Deified Daughter were standing on Star Seizer Tower, watching the names that kept appearing on the human race’s Sons of Heaven Rankings.
“Whisper, you’re probably going to be well-known around the world!” The person who spoke was a refined middle-aged man with a handsome face and starry eyes.
He was the current Master of the Night God Palace—Night Soul Lord.
Beside him was his proudest disciple, the number one prodigy of the Night God Palace, the Deified Daughter—Night Whisper.
Night Whisper was an absolute beauty with icy skin and jade bones, and her disposition was extraordinary. Coupled with the black dress she wore that outlined her elegant figure, she seemed mysterious and sophisticated.
“Master, this isn’t worth rejoicing!” Night Whisper’s tone was indifferent.
“There’s no harm. It’s time for you to be recognized. We could use the rankings to let the various Holy Lands witness the true peerless genius of our Night God Palace and give them an eye-opener.
“In my opinion, no one in the various Holy Lands can compare to you, not even the current Chu Yunhe! You have already surpassed me. The number one prodigy of the human race shall belong to you!” Night Soul Lord declared confidently.
Night Whisper’s eyes brightened up while anticipation began building up.
She did not care if she was made known to the world, It was just that everyone desired to win and vied for that first place.
Night Whisper was no exception.
The Night God Palace had always been known for its secrecy, and most of its disciples were not known to outsiders, especially Night Whisper.
Previously, she had always been in seclusion somewhere beyond the world, so she hadn’t been on any Hidden Dragon Rankings, the 3000 Physique Rankings, or the Divine Weapon Rankings. She was definitely a true hidden genius.
Prodigies from the various top families, sects, and Holy Lands were listed on the rankings one after the other. It interchanged between prodigies of the fiend sects and orthodox sects.
‘The rewards from the Heavenly Dao Rankings became more and more generous. At 30th place, the enlightenment and aptitude rewards had already gone up to a 100% increase.
On top of that, there were additional rewards for improving the soul.
Human Rankings # 20: Duan Tianlong
Cultivation: Soul Formation Peak Stage
Origin: Grand Primordium Holy Land
Reward: Enlightenment and Aptitude increase by 100%, Soul Strength increases by 50%
Human Rankings # 19: Gu Yuqi
Cultivation: Soul Formation Initial Stage
Origin: Qingyun Sect
Reward: Enlightenment and Aptitude increase by 100%, Soul Strength increases by 60%
“Junior Brother Gu is on the rankings!” Tang Chi hugged Gu Yugi in surprise. “Not bad, Junior Brother!”
“Hey, Junior Brother Wan Jie has also reached the Soul Formation Stage. He should have a chance to get on the rankings too!”
Everyone’s eyes suddenly gathered on ‘Ji Wanjie’ the Blood Spirit Monarch, whose only desire was to be invisible.
“L… I definitely have no chance. It’s already in the top 20, and I’m not on the rankings. I’m definitely outside the top 100!” The Blood Spirit Monarch responded with a bitter smile.
He had long begun panicking inside, praying hard that he would not get on the rankings.
Compared to the Heavenly Dao reward, his life was more important.
Li Yu was right beside him. If his true identity was exposed, he would be doomed.
At the moment, those who knew about Gu Yugj’s Ancient God Body were not surprised by the rankings.
However, those who did not know Gu Yuqi were shocked after they saw his cultivation realm.
“Eh? That Gu Yuqi’s cultivation is only at the early stage of Soul Formation. On what basis is he ranked 19th?”
“Yeah, the dozen or so people behind him are already in the late stage of the Soul Formation Realm. Why is this kid ranked 19th in the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm?”
“What the hell is the Heavenly Dao Rankings doing? Can’t you be a little more serious? It’s such an obvious error. Did Gu Yuqi bribe the Heave…?!” someone cursed.
Before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning struck him in the head, causing him to foam at the mouth and urinate.
“Holy shit, this brother has been punished by the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Let’s not talk about it anymore!”
“Hmph, if you ask me, he deserved it. Sprouting nonsense before knowing anything made him suffer the wrath of heaven!”
“Indeed. The Heavenly Dao Rankings clearly state that the rankings are based on power level and potential, not according to the cultivation realm.
“There were many determining factors in strength. Cultivation was only one of them. The cultivation techniques, divine arts, comprehension of the Dao, bloodline, and other factors would have a huge impact.
“and there’s also potential. This is an even more abstract concept. If Gu Yuqi can enter the top 20 at the initial stage of Soul Formation, that must mean that his power level far surpasses those in the same realm or that he possesses extremely incredible potential!”
In the Clear Void Holy Land. Qin Yueheng looked at Gu Yuqi’s name and felt demoralized. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
So the difference between us is that big? Qin Yueheng murmured in his heart.
Previously, when they were ranked on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Gu Yuqi was first while he was second. At that time, he felt that they were only one place apart.
Yet, now that he looked at the Human Sons of Heaven Rankings, he did not even have the qualifications to enter the rankings while Gu Yuqi was in the top 20.
This apparent difference made Qin Yueheng suffer an unprecedented blow.
Moreover, besides Gu Yugi, there was also Li Yu, that fellow who was younger than him but had showcased terrifying capability.
Compared to them, his ego in the past was laughable.
I must work harder this time in the Lingtian Mystic Realm. I must push up to the Sons of Heaven rankings!
Qin Yueheng’s heart was burning with raging flames.

“This generation’s Divine Firmament Holy Son is not good enough. He hasn’t even entered the top ten!”
“This era no longer belongs to Li Qingyun. It’s now Chu Yunhe’s era!”
“It’s not only the Divine Firmament Holy Land. The Holy Sons of the Clear Void, the Violet Palace, the Grand Primordium, and the Million Swords Holy Land are also ranked outside the top ten!”
“How could this be? The Holy Sons of the various Holy Lands can’t even enter the top ten?”
“Look at those geniuses from the five fiend sects. Four of them are already in the top ten! Currently, only the Divine Pool Holy Daughter, Yao Xi, and the Primordial Dao Holy Son, Chu Yunhe, are left among the seven Holy Lands. But there are six more spots left. Oh no… the situation on the rankings isn’t
good!”
“If more than half of the top ten are occupied by the five fiend sects, where would the reputation of the seven Holy Lands go?!”
“This first place should be Chu Yunhe’s for sure. As long as he can keep the first place, the orthodox sects can save some face!”
As the top ten on the rankings were announced, the discussions among countless cultivators intensified.
The situation on the rankings made many orthodox sects nervous. Their grim faces revealed it all.
Although they knew that the fiend sects had become more prosperous and the orthodox path had declined in recent years, they did not expect the situation to be so grim.
The Seven Holy Lands already had five Holy Land’s current generation geniuses outside the top ten.
The remaining six spots were worrying.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
The most worried ones were the Holy Lords, Elders of the Holy Lands, those top experts of the orthodox path.
The struggle between the righteous and demonic path had lasted for countless years. It could not be said that they were like fire and water that could not coexist, but it was more or less the same.
It did not matter if it was in the conflicts in the paths or the struggles for control of resources, status, influence, and prestige. Everyone had to compete for supremacy.
The Sons of Heaven Rankings only represented the power level and potential of the geniuses of the younger generation.
However, it was also an invisible competition between the righteous and demonic paths. Who would be willing to see their descendants inferior to the other party?
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Rankings garnered worldwide attention. Apart from the humans, the various demon races were also watching.
The various Holy Lands did not want to be at a disadvantage. After all, they still cared about their reputation.
However, the situation on the rankings was not optimistic.
“Hehe, looks like the successors of various Holy Lands are getting weaker. The four Holy Sons of the seven Holy Lands are ranked after our Tian Que. They’re too inferior!”
“Haha, of course! This batch of Holy Disciples is too weak!”
“No, they aren’t actually that weak. To be precise, the talent of our Netherworld Cult’s new generation is more outstanding!”
“Mm, indeed, indeed. Their cultivation realms aren’t low either. It’s just that our Netherworld Cult’s young generation is simply superior!”
In the Netherworld Cult, the Scarlet Flame King, the White Feather King, the Golden Lion King, the Black Centipede King, and the Blue Butterfly King looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings with ruminating expressions.
As the archenemies who had fought with the Holy Lands for more than 100,000 years, the members of the Netherworld Cult were pleased to witness this scene.
Before, it had always been the geniuses of the various Holy Lands who reigned supreme and influenced the world, But now, the tides have turned.
In this tumultuous era, the geniuses of their Netherworld Cult finally rose in power and trampled the Holy Sons of the various Holy Lands under their feet.
They were in a good mood.
“Judging from how this goes, our Deified Son, Fang Wu, should enter the top three easily!”
“First place isn’t out of the question either. The Sons of Heaven Rankings isn’t just based on cultivation level. In terms of capability, Fang Wu might not lose to Chu Yunhe!”
“Haha, you’e right about that. If Fang Wu can reach the number one spot, the Heavenly Dao Rankings will be very interesting. In the future, I’ll surely mock Perfected Tian Hui in his face, mwahaha…”
‘The Kings of the Netherworld Cult laughed heartily. They were in an excellent mood, pleased with the feeling of holding their heads high.
At that moment, it was not only the fiend sects who were mocking the Seven Holy Lands. The various demons were also in the mood to enjoy the show.
On the Endless Sea’s Thousand Dragon Island, the elders of the Azure Dragon Clan looked at the human race’s rankings with mocking expressions.
“The younger generation of the seven Holy Lands is just mediocre!”
“Humph, it’s no longer the era where the seven Holy Lands reign supreme. Their glory is long gone!”
“Not mentioning the seven Holy Lands, even the entire human race combined is not as powerful as us demons. In the future, it will surely be the era of our demon race, the era of our Azure Dragon Race!”
“If this ranking didn’t differentiate between humans and demons, it would probably be difficult for those so-called Holy Sons of the seven Holy Lands to enter the top 50.”
“Boring, this is too boring. The young human elites are too weak. They can already be in the top ten at the Profound Void Martial Intermediate Stage. After seeing our Demon Sons of Heaven Rankings later, I’m afraid it’ll scare them!”
“Haha, indeed. If they can enter the top ten at the Profound Void Martial Stage, our juniors alone can monopolize the top ten!”
“Let’s look forward to our rankings. This time, our Azure Dragon Clan’s younger generation will definitely shine!”
On one of the islands in the Thousand Dragon Island, Long Zhi, who had just walked out of his seclusion palace, couldn’t help but sneer as he looked at the human rankings.
“The human prodigies are so weak. It’s finally time for our demon race to dominate the world!” Long Zhi remarked coldly.
He was the fifth son of the Azure Dragon Clan’s Dragon King, with a mid-stage Tribulation cultivation realm.
Still, he could only barely rank third among the dragon clan’s younger generation.
His older brother, Long Ao, and his third sister, Long Yue, were absolutely the top prodigies of this generation.
This was especially true for his older brother, who had already reached the intermediate stage of the Mahayana Realm. He had surpassed the elders in the clan, and his power level was almost on par with his father.
The dragon race’s current generation was definitely filled with geniuses and bloodline.
In addition, 300 years ago, his father was fortunate enough to obtain the Azure Dragon Emperor Scripture in the Virtual Sky Mystic Realm. As well as a fragment of the Azure Dragon’s blood essence, a few pieces of the Azure Dragon Divine Bone, and a dragon pearl.
It made the outstanding elites of this generation of the dragon race even more remarkable with such advantageous opportunities.
Their capabilities were almost on par with the top experts in the world.
Reward: Enlightenment and Aptitude increase by 300%, Soul Strength increases by 200%
“Senior Sister is only ranked sixth. How could this be!”
Seeing that Yao Xi was only ranked sixth, the female disciples of the Divine Pool Holy Land were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
After all, Yao Xi was once a genius on par with Chu Yunhe.
However, she had an unwelcoming nature and did not enjoy being in the limelight.
Consequently, her reputation and prestige were far inferior to Chu Yunhe. Still, in terms of capability, they did not think that Yao Xi would lose to Chu Yunhe in the past.
Of course, the current Chu Yunhe had already stepped into the Tribulation realm and fully deserved the title of number one genius here.
Nevertheless, they did not expect to see Yao Xi could only rank sixth on the rankings.
It was simply unbelievable.
“Even Xi’er can only be placed sixth. The situation on the Heavenly Dao Rankings isn’t looking good!” The Divine Pool Holy Lord, Perfected Biyao, commented with a grave expression.
This outcome was beyond her expectations, but she was more worried about the final five spots.
“Chu Yunhe will definitely get a seat. The rest will probably be… sigh…”
Perfected Biyao sighed secretly.
It was difficult to admit, but she had no choice but to accept the day when the Demonic Sects surpassed the various Holy Lands.
‘The glorious era of the seven Holy Lands was likely coming to an end.
At the moment, Yao Xi was sitting in a lotus posture with her legs crossed on the Dao Comprehension Cliff.
She remained composed as she took a look at her ranking without any changes in her eyes. Afterward, she closed her eyes again and continued her cultivation.
She now sought to improve her cultivation before the Lingtian Mystic Realm opened.
Yao Xi had never cared about ranking. She only pursued her heart and her own Dao.
She had been lost in the past, but now that she had a clear goal, all that was left was to work hard to realize it.
Instead of worrying about such rankings, she would rather comprehend the Great Dao and put all efforts into cultivation.
Right then, she suddenly sensed strange energy fluctuations appearing around her.
Immediately, a warm current flowed into her body, making her instantly feel clear-headed. It was an extremely relaxing feeling.
It must be the reward from the Heavenly Dao.
Human Rankings # 5: Feng Xian
Cultivation: Tribulation Initial Stage
Origin: Xilan City’s Feng Family
“Only fifth? Looks like this body really restricts my performance!”
In the Grand Desolate Forest, a young man with messy hair and an ordinary appearance looked up at his ranking on the Heavenly Dao Rankings and made his complaints with slight disappointment.
He was dragging a six-armed demon ape with a body like a small mountain.
He was Feng Xian, ranked fifth on the Sons of Heaven Rankings.
However, no one knew that he was actually the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor from the Ancient Azure Dragon Kingdom.
2
With the various profound Paragon-level cultivation techniques in his memories and an equally exceptional foundation, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. He had already stepped into the Tribulation realm at the age of 31.
If the Heavenly Dao Rankings had appeared a year earlier, he would have been the first on that Hidden Dragon Rankings.
1
Unfortunately, his current age perfectly missed the age limit of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Furthermore, although his physical body in this life had good potential, it was not a special physique.
If this was the body from my previous life, I would definitely be ranked first. My body is too ordinary in this life! I hope to obtain some dependable bloodline power or opportunities like a saint’s bone or a paragon’s bone after entering the Lingtian Mystic Realm this time!
After thinking about that, he continued to drag the demon ape forward until he arrived at an open space that had clearly been developed by unnatural forces.
He threw the demon ape to a side of the empty ground, where there were four other huge demon beast corpses.
Feng Xian formed hand seals and shot them into the bodies of the demon beasts. Immediately, the blood of the demon beasts was extracted and rapidly condensed into a strange Blood Spirit Array.
Then, it tured into energy that constantly tempered and nourished his body.
In the Divine Firmament Holy Land, Perfected Qing Xiao could not help but look surprised when he saw Feng Xian’s name. “The fifth place is actually a Feng family disciple! But why have I never heard of this child before?”
‘The Feng family was a cultivation family clan in a city under the jurisdiction of their Divine Firmament Holy Land.
Although his family was not a top cultivation family, they were still quite recognized.
The current prodigy of the family clan had also been on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Regardless, he had never heard of this person called Feng Xian before. Furthermore, the most shocking part was that his cultivation had already reached the Tribulation realm.
“Who is Feng Xian? And we’ve never heard of him before?” The elders at the side were also quite surprised.
“Yeah, to actually enter the tribulation realm. This cultivation is shocking! Looks like the rankings this time will expose more hidden geniuses!”
“That’s good news. There still might be unknown geniuses in the top four. It’s fine as long as they’re not from the fiend sects!”

The group of elders was still praying to save the face of the orthodox sects.
Before they could finish their sentence, the new name on the rankings made their faces sink.
