Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 394 Fish Meat
This great swordsman reacted extremely quickly.

He suddenly leaped up and appeared directly in the area where Ji Fuyou had collected many books.

However, almost at the same time he arrived in this area, Ji Fuyou's divine sense erupted.

The overwhelming divine power, far beyond what he could withstand, instantly plunged the great swordsman into unprecedented exhaustion.

Despite his physical and mental mastery, and despite his best efforts to concentrate his will to fight against this weariness, and even to raise his voice to warn others of the invasion of foreign enemies, he ultimately could not resist this erosion originating from the soul.

Just like how ordinary humans find it difficult to resist anesthetic drugs through willpower.

This is a physiological reaction and has nothing to do with individual will.

After doing all this, he flashed away and headed straight for the royal secret treasure.

However, upon arriving at the royal secret vault, he sensed something.

Not far from the secret treasure, four people were diligently training under the guidance of a sword saint.

The swordsman not only offered guidance but also placed high hopes on them.

"The Empire has suffered a great calamity, with the Holy Sword Legion being completely wiped out, causing turmoil throughout the country. There is an urgent need for enough new Sword Saints to restore the nation's prestige, and this heavy responsibility has fallen entirely on the shoulders of the four of you."

The Sword Saint spoke earnestly: "The four of you are the most outstanding geniuses in the empire's history of a hundred years, and the most promising to become Sword Saints. Only when you become Sword Saints will we have enough manpower to suppress the various continents and bring peace to all parts of the empire..."

Ji Fuyou glanced at it and frowned slightly.

These people have great physical strength...

It's already reached the critical point of 39.

One only needs to comprehend the life force to advance to the fifth rank and become a sword saint.

Moreover, judging from their inability to fully grasp their own physical strength, it can be concluded that the physical strength values ​​of the four of them have been recently improved.

in other words……

At least 20 purple physique source crystals were used up on them.

Although Ji Fuyou's need for purple physique source crystals is not as urgent as that for golden source crystals now, who would complain about having too many of these treasures?

Shaking his head, Ji Fuyou made a slight noise.

The sword saint sensed something, but since this was the deepest part of the palace, he wasn't too worried. He simply told the four to continue their cultivation and then went to investigate the direction from which the commotion came.

This investigation...

He soon met the same fate as the martial saint outside the Mayan temple.

Ji Fuyou obtained a lot more information from this sword saint.

Compared to those on the periphery, these sword saints knew far more, but they clearly couldn't truly grasp the potential impact of a defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War.

Compared to the consequences of the defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War, he seemed more worried about the potential impact of uprisings across the empire on its rule.

"Truly... ignorance is bliss."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

"If Red Star hadn't made contact with Demon Suppression Valley and Rainbow Sun City, it would probably have been the same. The Great Shang Federation, for example, didn't take the so-called Heavenly Ranking War seriously at all. The Heavenly Ranking Committee they established was just a pretext for fighting for power and profit."

He shook his head, rendering the sword saint unconscious, and then, with a flash, he had already slipped past a spiritual master guarding the treasure vault and entered the vault.

"Sure enough, there are only 13 purple physique source crystals left, and not a single gold physique source crystal or purple spirit source crystal is left."

Ji Fuyou circled the treasure vault, collecting all the purple source crystals and the red source crystals that were also eligible for entry into the vault into his spatial belt.

They even collected some of the more valuable materials.

The sword saint he just controlled was known as the Dawn Sword Saint. In the Dawn Empire, his status was even higher than that of the emperor, making him the second most important figure after the Dawn Sword God.

He possessed all the secrets of the Dawn Empire, and it was learned from him that there was no second treasure trove in the Dawn Empire.

Ultimately, it was a civilization with only one sixth-tier Martial Saint.

The requirements cannot be too high.

"Not every civilization is valuable... But that makes sense. If every civilization were exceptional, the expansion rate of the victorious civilizations would increase exponentially."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself, "That's settled then. We need to find that cyborg civilization as soon as possible."

With these thoughts in mind, he quietly left the Dawn Palace and headed towards the Mayan temple.

The Crimson Star Civilization did not possess the technology to cultivate the Ancient Dragon Tree, nor did it need slaves to promote its development. After plundering everything of value from this civilization, he decided to leave immediately.

It wasn't until more than an hour after Ji Fuyou left that the great swordsman guarding the library regained consciousness and immediately reported the news of the enemy invasion.

Upon receiving the news, Emperor Dawn immediately went to find the Dawn Sword Saint, who was in charge of the royal family. He then discovered that even this national sword saint had been silently controlled by someone.

This result terrified the royal family.

Shortly afterward, the swordsman leading the team from the Mayan temple also brought news of the invaders.

Furthermore, considering the "bloated" appearance of the invaders mentioned by the great swordsman of the library, who was slightly inferior to the Dawn Civilization...

An unprecedented sense of fear arose in everyone's mind.

them……

They had unknowingly walked the line between life and death. Had the enemy not shown no intention of killing them, the entire imperial leadership would likely have been wiped out by now…

At this moment, the people of the Dawn Empire truly felt the consequences of their defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War and the leakage of their civilization coordinates.

That would truly be a situation where we are at the mercy of others!
Life and death hang in the balance, determined by the single thought of the victorious civilization!
……

Ji Fuyou, naturally, paid no attention to the shock of the people of the Dawn Empire.

He has now returned to the Mayan temple.

Since the Mayan temple is several hundred kilometers away from the capital of Dawn, the round trip took about ten hours.

However, when he came out of the side hall of the Mayan temple and returned to the corridor, the crowd waiting outside not only did not leave, but actually increased.

Griffin, Black Gold, and the Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom also rushed over.

More than twenty martial saints waited in the corridor, each craning their necks in anticipation.

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou appear, everyone greeted him.

"President Ji."

"He's back! He's back! The Chairman is back!"

"Captain, are you alright? How's the situation over there?"

One by one, everyone asked a question at the same time.

"Words are too slow to describe, so I have already described my time in the Dawn World... The Dawn World is the name I gave to that civilization."

Ji Fuyou said, "I have compiled and integrated my experiences and observations from those ten hours over there, and uploaded them to the Void God Realm. You can download and view them directly after entering the Void God Realm."

Upon hearing Ji Fuyou's words, the Martial Saints eagerly diverted their attention to the Void God Realm, quickly examining every detail about that world.

When they saw that the world was similar to humans, except that the humans were thinner and more slender, many people were filled with curiosity.

Some people breathed a slight sigh of relief after learning about the strength of this civilization.

Following that, the scenery that Ji Fuyou saw along the way, as well as the ecology, vegetation, and species that were completely different from those on Red Star, broadened everyone's horizons.

When they saw Ji Fuyou easily infiltrate the Dawn Empire's palace, take away volumes of ancient texts, control the nation's sword saint, and plunder all the treasures in the palace's treasury, no one felt joy; instead, they felt a chilling dread.

"The strength of the Dawn Empire is slightly weaker than that of our Great Shang Dynasty, but not by much... If it were us who were defeated instead of them, and a mysterious otherworldly expert came and went freely in the heart of our country and civilization as if it were empty... what kind of scene would that be?"

"The Chairman is merciful; he did not ruthlessly kill the people of this civilization! But what if it were an evil civilization?"

"Among the civilizations we clashed with this time, there was one called the Vampire Clan. They could enhance their power by absorbing blood... If some Vampires had entered the Dawn Empire... I'm afraid the entire Dawn Empire would have been turned into a sea of ​​blood by now, and everyone would have become their prey to be hunted and killed at will."

Everyone seemed to see their future reflected in the Dawn Empire.

Thank you!

Fortunately, their Red Star Civilization has Chairman Ji!

There exists a peerless martial saint who is powerful enough to lead them to the top of the Heavenly Ranking!
if not……

For a moment, all the martial saints in the arena looked at Ji Fuyou with awe.

Beyond awe, there was also a touch of worship that I had never had before.

Everything needs to be compared!
The experiences of the Dawn Empire made them realize how fortunate the Great Shang and Crimson Star were to have a peerless expert like Ji Fuyou in charge of their affairs.

“Ninety-four civilizations are too many. Investigating them one by one would be too time-consuming. You will form ten teams of three to investigate the situation of those civilizations.”

Ji Fuyou turned his gaze to Zhao Changkong, Tie Muxuan, Lin Dun and many other martial saints: "We only need to know the basic information. Let's filter through them first and select the valuable civilizations. Then I will go over and confirm them in detail."

"understand!"

Thirty martial saints are not difficult to gather, given the strength of the world's four major powers.

Fang Qiyun, who was standing nearby, asked, "Should we let Xiaoxue and the others go too?"

"Need not."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand: "She, Gu Yinbing, and you all, almost every one of you has reached the Middle Heaven or Great Heaven rank, right? Quickly digest what you have gained and cultivate to become a sixth-order Martial Saint before we talk about anything else."

He glanced at Fang Qiyun and said, "Don't try to do everything yourself, or you'll fall behind in your cultivation."

“I understand. I’ve been digesting your and many other Martial Saints’ experiences and insights on advancing from the fifth to the sixth rank whenever I have a spare moment. I’m starting to have some confidence now. Once I’ve used the Great Heavenly Rank to refine my own power, I should be able to advance to the sixth rank.”

Fang Qiyun said.

Ji Fuyou nodded.

Thanks to the care of Ji Fuyou and Gu Qing, Gu Yinbing and Fang Qiyun's Heavenly Rank both rose to the Great Heavenly Rank.

In addition, Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Liu Yiren and others reached the Zhongtian position.

After removing Fang Qiyun from the group, he turned his attention to Zhao Changkong, Tie Muxuan, and others, urging them, "Hurry up, keep moving forward, find the civilization to which that cyborg from Demon Mountain belongs as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The group agreed in unison and quickly made the arrangements.
