The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 136: Fifth on the Qiankun Ranking

The little white fox raised its head and licked the edge of Li Hao's palm, looking at Li Hao aggrievedly.

Li Hao smiled. The little white fox definitely could not go to the Martial Temple, otherwise it would be beheaded as soon as it entered.

The way demons inherit souls is similar to that of humans.

If there is a legacy, the souls of the ancestors will be inherited as demons.

Those who don’t have any inheritance can only seek to become disciples of other great demons and receive the inheritance.

Therefore, demons also have their own forces and circles.

If he still lived in the God General's Mansion, Li Hao would be able to help the little white fox and send it to Qingqiu Mountain, where the fox clan lived.

Qingqiu Mountain is also one of the forces affiliated with the Li family.

The old Taoist from Qingqiu Mountain who measured the bones was actually a giant fox demon.

However, a war broke out in Qingqiu Mountain thousands of years ago, and the fox lord there died in the war. Over the years, no demon king of the Four Realms has been born, so they could only submit and become dependent on the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

"Be patient. Wait for me to come back and find a chance to see if there is any wild grave of the demon king outside this border."

Li Hao stroked the little white fox and said, "If it really doesn't work, give me some time. I'll kill a demon king for you later and let you inherit his soul."

The Soul Successor Realm is still very critical. He has the power to fight across borders, mainly because of the Heaven and Earth Successor Soul, which can condense the soul 360 times, which is four to five times, or even ten times more than those in the same realm.

Combined with the improvements in the subsequent realms, the comprehensive accumulation leads to this power.

When the little white fox heard Li Hao's words, he nodded obediently and smiled like a fox.

Li Hao borrowed a bag of silver from Song Qiumo and set off with Ren Qianqian.

The little white fox was left in the camp and entrusted to Song Qiumo to take care of.

Ren Qianqian helped Li Hao carry the sword, while Li Hao carried Ren Qianqian...

However, this kind of "lifting" is to use the power of controlling objects to lift them. The two of them flew out of the camp one in front and one behind.

Old Feng's figure followed in the distance, stepping silently in the wind and snow.

Li He still chose to follow Li Hao secretly and continue his protection duties.

Although he now knows that the young master's fighting ability is no less than his own, the military order is like this.

……

……

Dayue City is located in the northwest center of Liangzhou.

This place is well connected, there are no mountains or forests outside the city, and it is flat and vast. It is the northwest central axis of Liangzhou.

There are countless escort caravans coming here every month.

The winter snow covered the earth, the sky and the earth were the same color, but the wheels of the cars had left dark tear marks on the ground.

On the avenue outside the city, horse-drawn carriages came from all directions in an endless stream, driving on the wide official road and entering the towering city.

"Miss, Dayue City is just ahead."

In a plain carriage, a maid in plain clothes and soft armor said to the girl beside her.

The girl had a sword on her waist and was dressed in white, just like the snowy scenery outside. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw the hundred-foot-high city wall, like a dark mountain, standing at the end of her vision.

"The momentum of Dayue City is not inferior to that of Qingzhou City."

The girl stared at it and said in a low voice.

She was Li Wushuang who came to Liangzhou with her father.

Not long after arriving at the military camp, she heard about the grand gathering of masters held by the people of Tianji Mountain. She immediately disguised herself and rushed there overnight with two female military servants arranged by her father Li Xuanli.

"This is where one of the seven great families in Liangzhou lives, and it's also where the third richest man in Liangzhou lives, so it's so grand."

The waitress explained for her.

Li Wushuang nodded slightly, but didn't care.

Any noble or wealthy family would pale in comparison to the majestic and honorable God General's Mansion.

She swept her eyes around the official road, looking at the snow-white plains and the distant mountains at the end of her field of vision, and whispered to herself:
"If we were to fight a monster in this place, we could gather quite a few troops. And since it's in the middle of the place, it would be hard to hide the monster's tracks."

The maid smiled slightly when she heard this. She was indeed the general's daughter. Her concerns were different from those of ordinary ladies from noble families.

“Coming here to learn the truth can lay a foundation for me to enter the Heavenly Man Realm in the future. It will also be beneficial for me to break through to the Fifteen Miles Realm, and it is possible for me to go further on the Qianlong Ranking!”

Li Wushuang's eyes flickered.

The Qiankun list is divided into two lists, and those over 18 years old are not allowed to enter the Kunfeng list.

Those over 22 years old are not allowed to enter the Qianlong List.

The Qiankun List is mainly designed for young people.

The main competition among the aristocratic family geniuses was for the Kunfeng Ranking, while those who made it to the Qianlong Ranking were mostly disciples of the Godly Generals' Mansion, or from top forces, such as the disciples of the Qiandao Palace, the disciples of Wuliangshan, and direct disciples of other first-class sects.

To be included in the Qiankun List means that you are the most outstanding young leader in the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

The only condition for being included in the list is to judge the level of cultivation and actual combat performance!

Therefore, many children from aristocratic families enter the martial arts world, doing chivalrous deeds, slaying demons and monsters, and making a name for themselves, all in the hope of being noticed and included in the Qiankun Ranking.

Once you are on the list, you will receive invitations from various forces and get help from many resources. Your path of cultivation will be smooth and you will no longer have to worry about the lack of skills, resources, weapons, etc. Just focus on practicing.

Li Wushuang is now ranked outside the top 30 on the Qianlong list.

Those ahead of her up to the 28th place were all geniuses at the -mile level.

They come from various forces, or are disciples of top masters such as Sword Saints and Knife Saints.

Li Wushuang knew the names of many of the people here, and some of them were even familiar to her, such as one of the two people in the Divine Wandering Realm who were ranked before her, and the one ranked 28th was Li Hao’s fiancée, Bian Ruxue.

They are both in the divine realm, but he is ranked slightly higher than her.

The reason for being on the list is that he came down from the sword hut and entered the world three months ago, destroyed a dead river, and killed two cross-border demons from the Godly Wandering Realm with one sword. His record of battle was outstanding, so he was ranked ahead of her.

Entering the Qianlong List at the age of fourteen is truly amazing.

Even if the other party has a famous teacher, there will still be many forces willing to make friends with him and win him over. Even if it is just in exchange for a favor and a familiar face, it is worth it.

The Qiankun Ranking is updated once a month. Li Wushuang feels complicated when thinking about the recent changes.

When the latest ranking was announced, all the young warriors in the Nineteen States were shocked.

Although the battle in Qingzhou was intentionally covered up by the Divine General's Mansion, there were too many witnesses and the news could not be kept secret. What's more, the Tianji Tower, which was ranked on the Qiankun List, claimed to have mastered the secrets of heaven and had insight into everything in the world. If a young hero robbed a bird's nest on the border, they might know about it, let alone such a big battle.

As the Qiankun Ranking was updated, that name naturally made it onto the list.

Ranked fifth.

Fourteen-year-old ranked fifth on the Qianlong list.

Li Hao.

Seeing this information and ranking, all the forces paying attention to the Qiankun List were shocked, especially when they saw the description of the young man's realm, which was that he had reached the heavenly realm!
The celestial realm at the age of fourteen shocked the world.

No wonder he ranks fifth on the Qianlong List.

You know, the top ten on the Qianlong list have always been seats that only those at the Heavenly Man Realm are qualified to compete for.

For example, the disciples under the command of the Taoist master Qian Dao Palace, the disciples of the Buddha, or the new disciples of a wandering old beggar, or the young dragons of other divine generals' palaces...

There are too many monsters and too few places.

These are the ten places selected from the billions of warriors in the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

When this ranking came out, someone in Jianghu Yanyu Tower predicted that within two years, this boy would climb to the top of the Qianlong list and remain there until he was 22 years old and was no longer on the list.

Suppressed the Qianlong list for six years!
Although this speculation is outrageous, it does not seem so unimaginable considering the record-breaking speed of cultivation.

Li Wushuang came to Dayue City to improve himself, mainly because he wanted to catch up with that figure.

……

……

Outside another gate of Dayue City, a convoy drove in.

"Look, we're almost there!"

The curtains were lifted, and young faces with lively vigor appeared from the carriages in the convoy.

"Yueyao, this Dayue City is quite magnificent."

In the carriage, Lin Feifei, who was dressed in green, had her eyes flickering in surprise. This was her first time in Liangzhou. Due to the geographical environment of Liangzhou, it was not suitable for farming, and food was often transported from other states. In her impression... this was a poor place.

Among the 19 states, Liangzhou is indeed among the lowest in terms of fiscal and tax revenue.

"Ah."

Song Yueyao, who was traveling with her, nodded slightly, with a gleam in her eyes, and looked forward to the upcoming event.

"Yueyao, I heard that the Tianmen Pass where Master Li is stationed is Liangzhou?"

Lin Feifei suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

Her knowledge of geography was not good and somewhat uncertain.

Song Yueyao's eyes narrowed, the light in her eyes seemed to fade a lot, and her expression became somewhat silent: "That's right." "Then when this event is over, should we go look for him?" Lin Feifei said as she thought about it.

Song Yueyao shook her head slightly. She knew her best friend's personality and said:

"Tianmen Pass is dangerous and unpredictable. If we go there, we will only cause trouble for him. I heard from grandpa that he asked Aunt Qiumo to visit him, so he should be fine."

"Oh."

Seeing this, Lin Feifei could only give up with regret. She muttered a few words in a low voice to express her grievances for Li Haoming. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito. After saying a few words, she dared not say any more.

These words were only whispered behind her back, criticizing the divine general who was in charge of the state. Even though no one heard it, she felt a little nervous in her heart.

"We are here to further our studies this time. We need to concentrate. It won't be too late to look for him after we enter the Fifteen Miles Realm."

Song Yueyao said.

If you haven’t reached the fifteen-mile realm, you can’t even fly in the air, and if you encounter a powerful monster, you can’t even escape.

Lin Feifei nodded slightly, knowing that this grand meeting of the Grand Master was of great significance to them and could lay the foundation for them to enter the realm of heaven and man in the future.

After all, they have to rely on themselves to reach the Heavenly Man Realm. No matter how many resources they have, they can only reach the Fifteen Miles Realm.

The curtain dropped, and the carriage lurched toward the huge bronze city gate.

……

……

Outside Dayue City, in the sky a hundred miles away.

Several figures came whizzing and landed in the wilderness here, some distance away from the official road, and no one noticed them.

The leader was a burly young man wearing a purple and gold robe. He had a handsome face, but a long, thick beard on his jaw. His eyes were purple and gold, flashing a captivating light.

"Young Master, Dayue City is just ahead."

An old man in a gray robe said respectfully.

He has coiled dragon horns on his head, grey scales on his neck, and pointed cheeks that look a bit cold.

“It looks like a really nice dinner plate.”

The purple-gold-robed young man's eyes glowed purple as he stared intently and licked his lips slightly:
"Once we take this city, we will work together with father to tear it apart from the northwest. With the help of those guys, the garrison troops in Liangzhou will not be able to react at all!"

The grey-robed old man smiled and said, "I heard that they are holding a grand event here this time, and masters from various states are coming. These are all delicious feasts, and you can enjoy them to your heart's content when the time comes."

"These reptiles can reach the heavenly realm after practicing for decades, and their reproduction ability is very fast. It is really disgusting!"

The young man in the purple-gold robe said coldly, a hint of cruelty flashing across his face.

The people around him all smiled but didn't say anything.

"Let's go play in the city first. Let the army stand by and watch for our signal at any time. Once we break the city formation, we can take it down in one fell swoop and reduce casualties."

The young man in purple and gold robe said as he walked forward.

“Young Master, if you want to enter the city, you need to change your clothes, and your divine eyes…” the gray-robed old man said hurriedly.

The dragon horns on his head also shrank and disappeared into his hair. The gray scales on his neck also disappeared, and he became like a normal old man.

"It's so troublesome."

The young man in purple-gold robe frowned, somewhat displeased.

"The purple-gold robe is specially used by the royal family of the human race. It is too eye-catching." The gray-robed old man said respectfully.

"Humph, damn reptile!"

The young man in the purple-gold robe had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but the color of his clothes still changed slightly, turning into a simple yellow robe, and the purple in his eyes also disappeared and turned black.

"Let's go."

"Young Master, this is an order."

The old man in gray robe handed over a token.

There was some blood on the token.

……

……

Two figures came flying and landed on the official road outside Dayue City, then walked slowly towards the city. They were Li Hao and Ren Qianqian.

Li Hao pulled off some grass from the roadside, shook it in his hand out of boredom, and occasionally skipped a few steps on the bumpy snowy road run over by the wheels of the car, avoiding the crushed melted snow and mud to avoid dirtying his boots.

Ren Qianqian followed closely, holding a sword. The two of them jumped from time to time, avoiding mud pits, and finally arrived at the city gate.

After paying the entrance fee, we entered the bluestone road in the city.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of warriors."

Li Hao looked around and saw the aura of many warriors. Most of them were in the Divine Wandering Realm, and a few were in the Soul Successor Realm. They were probably here to join in the fun.

The shops and restaurants everywhere in the city are crowded with people and are extremely prosperous.

As he passed by, Li Hao listened to various discussions and exchanges coming from his ears. Some were talking about the Grand Master's gathering, some were discussing gossip about a certain Grand Master. In addition, Li Hao actually heard his own name in them.

"Have you heard about the fifth place on the Qianlong Ranking? He is the youngest Grandmaster in history!"

"My father told me that this record was also broken by a genius from the Li family more than a decade ago. I didn't expect that it would be broken again by someone from the Li family now."

"Among the five great divine generals' palaces, the Li family should be number one, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I'm going to tell you a secret. My friend told you that the Wang family, the least famous of the five divine generals' palaces, is the most terrifying..."

……

The topic gradually went off track.

Li Hao was a little surprised. He knew the Qianlong List, which was compiled by Tianji Tower and updated every month.

The man from Tianji Mountain who invited all the masters in the world to ask questions this time was the owner of Tianji Tower.

It is said that Tianji Tower knows everything about the world. Most of the interesting stories in the martial arts world that Li Hao saw in Tingyu Tower were written by Tianji Tower. Even the details of a certain master's revenge and the extermination of an entire family were described as if he was there in person.

There was even a case of a certain master who kept a beautiful young girl, and this was also written into the record of his romantic affairs.

However, Li Hao heard from the Second Master that the reason why Tianji Tower was so knowledgeable about everything was not a fabrication, but that there was actually the shadow of the royal family behind Tianji Tower.

Tianji Tower has a very high prestige in the martial arts world, and this is also one of the means for the court to infiltrate the martial arts world from the temple.

From this we can see how terrifying the power that the Dayu Dynasty actually controlled was.

Is it because of that battle... Li Hao's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that he would be included in the Qianlong List because of this.

He didn't care much about this list.

Most people compete for the top spots for fame and fortune, and fame brings fortune.

There are also a small number of simple people who simply want fame and want to be remembered by the world, to be recognized wherever they go, and to be remembered after their death.

But Li Hao had no interest in either of these two things.

He just wants to live longer, more easily, be an ordinary person, and enjoy the world.

Perhaps the most precious thing in a person's life is to live freely.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Wu Temple first."

Li Hao said to Ren Qianqian.

Ren Qianqian's eyes lit up slightly and she immediately nodded and followed.

Li Hao grabbed someone and asked, and learned that there were three martial arts temples in Dayue City, the largest of which was the one on Chenghuang Street in the center of the city.

Li Hao immediately took Ren Qianqian there.

We met many warriors from various states on the streets along the way. Most of them were in groups of two or three, led by an elder.

Chenghuang Street is extremely lively. There is also a Buddhist temple here, and many people come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.

This Buddhist temple is also a temple under the jurisdiction of Wuliangshan and belongs to the subordinate force of Wuliangshan.

Li Hao took a glance and had no intention of worshipping Buddha, so he led Ren Qianqian straight to the Wu Temple in the middle of the street.

There is also an incense altar outside the Wu Temple, but the number of people coming here to worship and burn incense is slightly less than that in front of the Buddhist temple.

Li Hao frowned slightly as he watched, and went up with Ren Qianqian. He spent a few taels of silver to buy incense sticks, lit them and worshiped the heroic souls in the Martial Temple.

After the worship, Li Hao brought Ren Qianqian to the Wu Temple and found the temple priest.

When the old temple keeper saw the identity presented by Ren Qianqian, he learned the identity of her father, and then verified that she was indeed a beginner in the realm of soul inheritance. He took the silver, recorded it in the book, and allowed Ren Qianqian to enter the Martial Temple.

The heroic souls in the Temple of Martial Arts are all in a semi-sleeping state. Whether you can impress these heroic souls depends on your own ability.

Li Hao had nothing to do, so he wandered around the Martial Temple. He saw two temple priests playing chess in the open space behind the temple, so he squatted beside them and watched.

Two bad chess players.

After taking a look, Li Hao couldn't bear to watch anymore. He shook his head, turned around and left in boredom.

The two young temple priests just smiled at each other in response to Li Hao's behavior, thinking that the other party was just a teenager who didn't understand chess and didn't have the patience to play chess.
