The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 485 Top Ten
"What are you doing here? You're not here for revenge, are you?"

Li Hao frowned, feeling somewhat confused. He asked himself that he should not have been so hostile to the other party as to make the other party risk his life to kill him.

Moreover, this is the human border, how did the other party get in?

"I just happened to be leaving here, and I met you before I left, so I just said hello to you."

Mi Xueyao smiled very casually, gently rolled up the hair on her shoulders with her fingers, swirled it in circles, and said:

"I didn't have the chance to ask you before, but you already knew my identity. Are you planning to bring me in and then expose me?"

Her question seemed casual, but her eyes were slightly narrowed, and Li Hao felt a hint of danger. If he didn't answer well, the other party might attack him in anger.

"I had this plan before. You know, I am a human, and racial hatred is irreconcilable!"

Li Hao said.

A hint of coldness flashed across Mi Xueyao's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold arc, saying: "Then you also revealed your special ability, that you can eat the flesh and blood of ancient demons to enhance your soul. If this power is leaked out, not to mention that the ancient demons will regard you as the number one target for hunting, even among the human race, there will be many people who are jealous and will assassinate you, right?"

"Moreover, if the emperor-level strongman in the human race knew about it, he might also explore your secrets and imprison you!"

"You won't tell on me anyway, so this matter is only known to you and me."

Li Hao said.

Mi Xueyao was slightly startled, her eyes moving as she stared at Li Hao, and asked, "How do you know I won't leak the secret? Do you trust me so much?"

"That's it."

Li Hao said without changing his expression.

Trustworthy...how is that possible?

Just as the other party said, if this matter is exposed, it will make the ancient demon clan fearful and will also bring unnecessary trouble to the human race. All of this stems from human nature. Similarly, the other party will not leak the secret, which also stems from the greed and exclusivity in human nature. If it were him, he would not make such a thing public.

Hearing Li Hao's answer, Mi Xueyao raised her eyebrows slightly, but a hint of tenderness appeared in the depths of her eyes. She chuckled and said:

"You are so brave. You know I am an ancient demon, yet you dare to feed me the ancient demon's flesh and blood, and even expose your own secrets."

"As a chef, I never turn down any customer."

Li Hao said calmly.

"You're not a cook."

"what is that?"

"Anyway, there's no cook with a sword."

Mi Xueyao snorted, and her mood seemed to become somewhat cheerful. She said calmly: "I will remember you. I will find you again if there is a chance to taste your cooking skills. Don't even think about exposing me. Unless the emperor of your human race takes action, no one can track me down."

As she spoke, immortal power emerged from her body and her toes left the ground.

She glanced at Li Hao and said, "I have already found out your identity. I will find you."

As soon as she finished speaking, accompanied by a laugh like a silver bell, her figure flashed and dissipated in front of Li Hao's eyes like mist, disappearing instantly.

Li Hao was stunned. Through his delicate control over the origin of space, he could feel that the other party had torn open a channel in an instant and teleported tens of thousands of miles away. His aura was quickly dissipating.

"I can come and go freely..."

Li Hao's eyes became solemn. This border city was full of secret defense lines. It was terrifying that the other party, as a member of the ancient demon clan, could shuttle back and forth here.

With the other party's cultivation level at the Immortal King level, it is absolutely impossible to do it, even if he is at the King level.

Unless the other party is possessing some incredible treasure.

Li Hao immediately thought of what the other party revealed when he left before, attracting the ancient demon of the Wheel Royal Family.

During the two years he had been eating and drinking here, he had asked Gu Changming about it. The other party had said with a serious face that it was some kind of supreme treasure from the real world, a fragment of reincarnation.

That thing has only been seen in the hands of the Immortal Emperor. The ancient demon clan and the Immortal Emperor are both pursuing and fighting for it. It is said to have incredible abilities that can allow people to truly enter reincarnation, or even reverse reincarnation!

Gu Changming couldn't tell the details of its specific uses. He only knew that this item had a significant impact and once there was a clue, it must be reported to the Immortal Emperor. He had already reported it to the Yanchu royal family, who passed it on to the Supreme Being in the Heavenly Palace.

"Could it be that he was using that thing?"

Li Hao frowned and stared at the place where the other party was going away. He wanted to turn around and tell Gu Changming about the situation.

But thinking about the fact that the other party dared to show up in front of him and was obviously not worried about exposing his identity, there was no point in telling Gu Changming.

"This girl... I hope she won't mess around with the human race. I must improve my strength as soon as possible and try to take her down the next time she appears before me."

Li Hao said in his heart.

After all, it is too terrifying that an ancient demon at the level of Immortal King can freely travel in the human territory but cannot be tracked down.

If the enemy is overeating, they can quickly suck out cities one by one, causing unimaginable casualties.

Although the other party treated him well, Li Hao didn't believe that if he was of no use to him, the other party would still speak to him so politely.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao turned and left the alley, temporarily putting this little episode in his mind, and headed for the border teleportation array.

He showed his identity token, stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared under the shocked gaze of the guards guarding the teleportation array.

……

The imperial city of Yanchu.

Above the vast square, there is a huge collapsed passage in the ancient fairyland.

The ground was desolate and barren, as if it had been burned, and filled with an ancient and barbaric atmosphere.

A towering black monument stood tall, with an imposing manner that seemed to pierce the sky. Countless golden numbers on it were jumping rapidly, like lightning, like golden flying insects, swimming on the monument, up and down, back and forth, competing with each other.

"I'll try again!"

Among the disciples of the Dameng Jiuyuan Sect, Yue Xi looked at her identity number, which was 829th on the immortal monument. But just now, in just two hours, she was surpassed by three golden light numbers, and her ranking dropped by three places!

There are less than five days left until the end. If we continue at this pace, we might all be squeezed out after five days.

"No need. Unless you can break through the Tenth Desolate Domain, you will not be able to surpass your previous results even if you stay in there for the next five days."

Li Tiemu shook his head, stopped her and said, "Calm down!"

Yue Xi's face looked grim, but she knew that what Old Man Li said was right. She had lasted for six days at most before, and was able to thrive in the Tenth Wasteland. However, as her immortal power was depleted, she gradually became unable to hold on.

"That's right, but someone just suddenly came out. Don't worry. With your strength and ranking, if you can't hold on, then this competition is a bit exaggerated."

Murong Qingwu comforted softly.

After three years of hard training, they returned again with a qualitative improvement in strength, from being ranked over 2,000 to being ranked within 1,000. Especially Gu Yan, who had already risen to a position of over 300. This speed of improvement was abnormal!
With this ranking, he will almost certainly be among the top 1,000 in the next five days and will not be eliminated.

And this is only Gu Yan's improvement and change over the past three years. There are still seven years before the real battle in the Southern Region, more than twice the time. Who knows to what level this evil guy can improve in the next seven days?
Yue Xi was silent for a moment. She was now at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, and she was gradually able to control the power of the Disaster Clan. Even if she encountered a clan at the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm, she would be able to completely suppress it.

But she didn't expect that in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, with such an amazing performance, she could only be ranked over 800.

She looked up and her eyes fell on the top thirty.

Three years ago, it was ranked 19th, but now it has been squeezed to 25th. Even so, it is still a very terrible result.

After all, when the young man achieved this result, he was only at the third level of the True Immortal Realm.

They are both true fairylands, so why is there such a big difference?
"There are less than five days left, why hasn't Haotian come yet?"

Murong Qingwu noticed Yuexi's gaze and couldn't help but ask Li Tiemu.

Li Tiemu was a little helpless after hearing this, and spread his hands and said, "You ask me, who should I ask? That kid just got started not long ago, and he is not obedient at all. Think about it, before that brat became my disciple, he even cheated me out of my wine money..."

Thinking of this, he crossed his arms and snorted.

Murong Qingwu was speechless and rolled her eyes slightly, "How can you be a master like this?"

Li Tiemu glared and raised his hand slightly as if to hit him. Murong Qingwu stuck out her tongue, jumped and hid behind Yue Xi beside her, and said:
"He's not really going to wait until the last day to come?"

"That guy is most likely the one who went up Emperor Sword Mountain on the last day. He likes to be the last to appear. Humph!"

Li Tiemu said unhappily.

Gu Yan and Yue Xi were both silent, but there was a hint of loss and regret in their eyes. Time was too tight and they would not have the chance to say anything to that guy.

"I heard that Senior Brother Yechen from Qiangyuan has broken through to the Immortal Lord Realm. Look, he has already reached 17th place!"

At this time, a disciple of Jianyuan nearby exclaimed.

Several people looked up and saw an identity number climbing up, ranking 17th.

Among the royal identity numbers ranging from 0 to 100 all around, the four-digit number is obviously much more conspicuous.

"Fortunately, our sect has found a genius who can barely compete with Xing Lan of the Xingchen Palace and Tian Hongyi of the Wanshan Sword Tower."

When Li Tiemu saw the ranking, his eyes lit up. He was not jealous, but full of joy.

Gu Yan, Yue Xi and the others looked up, they had all heard of Senior Brother Ye Chen, who was already over two thousand years old, much older than them, so they were not surprised that he could perform like this, and they had no intention of competing with him.

Deep down in their hearts, they all subconsciously believe that when they reach the same age, their achievements will never be less than this.

"The top thirty are indeed dominated by Immortal Lords. The most outrageous one is Boya Xuejian from Zhuyu Pavilion, who actually made it to second place!"

"Xing Lan from the Xingchen Palace has also reached ninth place, and Tian Hongyi from the Wanshan Sword Tower has also reached seventh place. Senior Brother Yechen's breakthrough time was too short, and he is only at the first level of the Immortal Lord Realm. He still cannot compare with them."

"I heard that the top ten will receive a mysterious reward, I don't know what it is, but it's a pity that we are not eligible for it."

In front of the immortal monument, there were many whispers and discussions.

Although those popular identity numbers are mysterious, they were still found out and the identities of the people corresponding to them were also exposed.

"There are seven great dynasties, but our Yanchu Dynasty alone has so many geniuses. When the geniuses from the seven great dynasties and the Heavenly Palace gather together, I wonder how exciting it will be!"

“I’m really looking forward to it and hope to see that day soon.”

"I thought I was good enough, but here, I can't even make it into the top 10,000. It's too difficult!"

Amidst the numerous discussions, Gu Yan frowned slightly. He felt contemptuous of those self-praising voices. He turned around and wanted to see the situation of other Tianzong.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him from a distance.

"Ok?"

Gu Yan glanced casually and suddenly looked back.

At this moment, Li Tiemu also sensed something and turned around. When he saw the person coming, a smile of surprise appeared on his face. He walked over and said:
"Good boy, you finally came. I almost thought you would wait until the last day to appear with His Majesty!"

Li Hao's shoulder hurt from being hit by him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then looked around and saw Yue Xi, Gu Yan and others were there, and their aura was obviously much stronger than three years ago.

He swept his gaze towards the Wanshan Sword Tower again, and at the edge of the tower, he suddenly saw a figure in green clothes. A pair of worried and clear eyes were staring at this place, and their eyes met in an instant.

The worry in those clear eyes suddenly dissipated and turned into surprise, like thick clouds dispersing and sunlight shining on the spring snow.

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh, raised his hand and waved, then he and Old Man Li landed to the disciples of Dameng Jiuyuan.

"Haotian!"

"You're back."

Yuexi and Murong Qingwu also saw Li Hao at this time, and their eyes lit up.

Lin Mingrong, who was beside the old woman, also saw Li Hao. She was startled for a moment and stared at the young man.

Three years have passed, and the other party has not practiced in the Langya Painting Realm, but his realm has greatly improved compared to before, and he has reached the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm!

Such a speed of improvement is not inferior to that in Langya Painting Realm. I guess the other party is practicing in another equally top-notch secret holy land.

"It's all there."

Li Hao approached them, smiled and said hello, "How are you? Have you challenged the Desolate Territory? How were your results?"

"Everyone is in."

Li Tiemu smiled from ear to ear, his eyes narrowed into slits, and said, "You four are really impressive."

Li Hao was a little surprised, but then he noticed that their realms were comparable to his, and Murong Qingwu was even at the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm, and he was immediately relieved.

"That's fine."

He raised his head and glanced at the immortal tablet, and saw that his ranking had dropped to 25th.

Although he dropped a few places, Li Hao didn't care. There was no difference between 19th and 25th.

"You've lost your rank."

Gu Yan stared at Li Hao and said, "Three years have passed. Your realm has been raised to the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm. Your immortal power has increased by fifty or sixty times. You should be able to climb to a higher rank."

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded generously.

"Go and give it a try and see if you can make it to the top ten. According to my prediction, if you enter the Wasteland Twelve, you will have a chance to be in the top ten!"

Li Tiemu said with anticipation.

Li Hao was stunned and said speechlessly: "There is no need to waste this energy. This is not the Southern Region Battle. This ranking is just a selection."

"You kid, do you want to be lazy again? Then what are you doing here?" Li Tiemu couldn't help but glare at him.

"Come and watch the fun."

"..."

Li Tiemu, Yue Xi, Gu Yan and others were silent.

After a while, Li Tiemu took a deep breath and said, "There are benefits to being in the top ten."
