Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 236 Divine Beast
Thanks to the federal leadership's clear understanding that allowing the fog to grow unchecked would lead to more and more forbidden areas and an irreversible deterioration of the situation, reinforcements from various states and elite military forces arrived quickly.

Ji Fuyou and his group had been assisting in the defense for less than two hours when the military's elite troops marched into the ruins of Yindu.

Xiao Hanxue watched with great curiosity as the fully armed military experts, some even carrying numerous combat weapons, entered the mist.

Fang Qiyun and Yang Kaitai, on the other hand, looked solemn.

"That was... the fourth brigade already, right?"

Yang Kaitai said.

“Yes! Each brigade consists of three squadrons and nine platoons, with six people per platoon, and... each platoon is staffed with one martial arts master, one high-level mental energy user, and four high-level martial artists.”

Fang Qiyun responded.

In other words, just now, they had seen 36 master-level martial artists and 180 high-level spiritual energy users and martial artists.

Moreover, this is only one of their entry points.

Whether the other two entrances are also of this size, no one knows.

"The Federation has countless experts, half of whom are from the military. This statement is not just empty talk."

Ji Fuyou was not surprised by this.

About half a year ago, there were already 140 to 150 master-level martial artists on the surface.

If the military accounts for half, it's not surprising that they would have the same number.

The first half of the year has passed, and a large number of advanced martial artists have completed their promotion to master level.

In Chuzhou alone, five more master-level martial artists have emerged.

No one knows exactly how many master-level martial artists the military currently possesses.

The Yindu Ruins are shrouded in mist in the center of Liusha City, making them as dangerous as the mist from Huanglong Cave that once spread to Lanyue City. In addition, the boar-men are far more powerful than the skeleton monsters, so it is understandable that the military would send out hundreds of master-level martial artists to try to eliminate the monsters in the Yindu Ruins once and for all.

“The ruins of Yindu are different from Huanglong Cave. You should know how many monsters there are once you’ve been deep into the third underground level.”

Ji Fuyou said, "Let alone hundreds of masters and hundreds of advanced professionals, even thousands of master-level martial artists might not be able to completely level the ruins of Yindu."

"Thousands of them!?"

Yang Kaitai was startled: "Humans are far more organized and disciplined than boar people. If we concentrate our forces to defeat them one by one, even if there are tens of thousands of boar people in the ruins of Yindu, it's only a matter of time before they are wiped out, right?"

Ji Fuyou shook his head: "If we can't clear out all the boarmen within 12 hours, the fog, or some special rule of this other world, will determine that this location is weak and can be invaded. At that time, a continuous stream of boarmen will pour in through the fog. Besides..."

He glanced at Yang Kaitai: "Who told you there were only tens of thousands of boar-men in the ruins of Yindu?"

"more than!?"

Yang Kaitai's pupils contracted.

"Below the fourth level of the Yindu Ruins, there is a fifth level. However, that level is like a maze, composed of countless tombs whose area has been greatly expanded. Each tomb contains dozens or even hundreds of boar-men."

Ji Fuyou said, "There are probably no fewer than tens of thousands of boar-men in that maze area alone."

"There's... a maze?!"

Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, and others were all moved.

They did not doubt Ji Fuyou's words.

Because, apart from him, no one has ever entered the fourth underground level.

"Furthermore, I'm not sure if this is the final level of the maze. There might be a sixth or even a seventh level after the fifth level, which can be called a maze..."

Ji Fuyou stopped there and didn't continue.

but……

He planned to use his dream to explore the labyrinthine ruins of Yindu.

after all……

The spoils from the ruins of Yindu were immense.

As long as no one enters the fifth level of the maze in the ruins of Yindu, the sixth and seventh levels will not change much.

He should explore it thoroughly; he might even discover something new.

"Let's go, the military will soon seal off the ruins of Yindu."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Yang Kaitai and the others nodded in agreement.

The military has always acted domineeringly, and they don't really like dealing with people from the military.

The group quickly left the ruins of Yindu.

Thanks to the timely evacuation and the rapid arrival of reinforcements, the fog did not spread widely to Liusha City.

The area currently shrouded in mist is only a few dozen square kilometers of the ruins of Yindu.

Thanks to the fact that part of the area remains closed for archaeological work, while another part has been contracted out to a tourism company and is being operated as a tourist attraction, the number of people who need to be evacuated is not large, only about 300,000.

Despite the widespread panic caused by the fog, Liusha City maintained a certain level of order in this situation.

Ji Fuyou and his group were even able to book a hotel to rest.

"The next few maps are Demon, Living Image, Treant, and Horned Dragon. The interval between each dream will gradually lengthen. By the time the fog where the Treant is located appears, it will probably be three or four months later."

In his hotel room, Ji Fuyou, having just taken a shower, lay on the bed, his thoughts drifting.

"Since the demon and the living image are both within the Mayan temple area, I don't need to spend any more time searching... Therefore, I still have at least three or four months to explore the ruins of Yindu and try to crack the labyrinth formation on the fifth underground level."

While pondering, he took out one inheritance crystal after another.

Blazing Sun Sword Technique.

Awakening Technique for Divine Beast Bloodlines.

Demon-suppressing spell.

Crescent Moon Blade Qi.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Curse and Crescent Moon Blade Aura are relatively ordinary top-tier skills, each with its own function.

But the Blazing Sun Sword Technique and the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique...

It is absolutely the ultimate among top-tier skills. Its effects may even rival those of true purple-level ultimate skills.

"Unfortunately, I can't use it now."

Ji Fuyou held the Blazing Sun Sword Technique Inheritance Crystal: "But that doesn't prevent me from mastering this skill first."

The next moment, all the cultivation methods of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique flowed out from the crystal and poured into Ji Fuyou's mind.

With this information flowing through him, he was like a sword master who had studied this sword technique for decades, fully understanding all the changes and operations of the entire sword technique.

"Visualize the blazing sun, detonate the blazing sun, and then infuse this power into the sword, unleashing it with earth-shattering force."

Ji Fuyou digested this information.

The more he learned, the more he realized the power of this sword technique.

This is absolutely a berserk sword technique that maximizes the power of killing, destruction, and annihilation.

Every step of cultivation is meant to cultivate the final destructive power, delivering a devastating blow to the target.

"I'm getting a little... impatient."

Ji Fuyou sighed sincerely.

pity……

He assessed his own condition...

"I have met the physical requirements, but I am still missing a purple crystal for the mental requirements."

Ji Fuyou pondered.

This was even after he used the purple spiritual crystal he had on him.

"Perhaps I should try to find another twenty or thirty red spirit source crystals to raise my spirit value to 33, and then use this purple spirit source crystal to forcibly raise it to 35..."

This idea flashed through Ji Fuyou's mind.

But then he changed his mind again.

The cost is too high.

What's more...

The entire Association of Mental Abilities only maintains a reserve of one or two red mental source crystals, so where did he get twenty or thirty?

With regret, Ji Fuyou once again took out the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique Inheritance Crystal.

Soon, the information contained in this inheritance also filled his mind.

However, he was somewhat surprised when he fully digested this secret technique.

He initially thought this was a divine beast bloodline awakening technique, and that the final mutated divine beast would depend entirely on luck and bloodline, but he never expected this...

"A divine beast awakened by its bloodline... can actually be trained!?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Even if the beasts whose bloodlines have been awakened are initially weak after mutating into divine beasts due to the thinness of their bloodlines, they can still grow stronger by continuously nurturing and hunting other beasts and absorbing their bloodline power.

Depending on the cultivator's skill in bloodline awakening techniques, as well as the number and level of beasts hunted, the mutated Qilin divine beast can be cultivated to level 7 at most.

After reaching level 7, if one can master a higher-level advanced inheritance, the divine beast can mutate and transform into a true divine beast, the Qilin.

"The mythical beast Qilin... just how powerful must it be?"

Ji Fuyou's pupils contracted slightly.

A true mythical beast!

in case……

If he can truly cultivate the divine beast Qilin, will he be able to fight against that heaven-devouring demon?
"35 quarters of spirit! To cast the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique, you also need 35 quarters of spirit!"

Ji Fuyou took a deep breath.

With two extremely powerful inheritances before him, yet unable to unleash them, Ji Fuyou didn't want to waste a single moment longer.

We must raise our mental level as quickly as possible.

"I want to raise my God Scale to 35. There are only two ways. One is to venture into the Daylight Forest and try to reach the Rainbow Sun Gate to see if there are any unexpected gains. The other is..."

He paused for a moment as he thought of this.

"Like the Misty Forest, explore dangerous places like the Abyss Rift and slay beings of the level of two-headed giants."

However, he was able to kill the two-headed monster entirely thanks to the venom of the mutated giant centipede.

Unless he can find another monster similar to it, even if he discovers a perilous place like an abyss rift, he will be powerless against a monster that has purple source crystals growing inside its body.

"Wait, a mutated giant centipede..."

At this moment, Ji Fuyou seemed to have thought of something.

"I remember discovering a mysterious cave in the Death Rift Valley. However, at the time, I guessed that the cave was the dwelling place of horned dragons, and out of caution, I did not explore it further..."

I didn't dare then, but now, I might not.

The Yindu Ruins dreamscape is now compatible with the Death Rift Valley dreamscape.

He could use his Void Authority to teleport to the Great Rift of Death from the dream of the ruins of Yindu, or even the dream of the Mayan temple, and then try to explore it.

"Let's do it this way! If we can find the sleeping horned dragon and kill it in advance... it might not be hopeless."

Ji Fuyou made a decision.

Just as he was about to refine the Demon-Suppressing Curse and the Crescent Moon Blade Qi and try out the Great Dream Scripture, a message on his phone caught his attention.

"exist?"

Just one simple word.

The kind of message I'd read but wouldn't even bother to reply to.

The key point is, the person who sent the message...

Gu Qing, the foremost spiritual being.
