Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 465 Legend
"Therefore, if I can come into contact with more civilizations in the fifth and sixth rounds of the Heavenly Ranking War, I should be able to obtain a small number of legendary cultivation techniques."

Ji Fuyou seemed to be deep in thought.

As for why there were no legendary techniques in the Mountain and Sea Realm during the fifth round of the Heavenly Ranking War...

Just like in the Heavenly Ranking War, only those ranked at the top of the list are given inheritance crystals.

The same is probably true for legendary techniques.

When the Mountain and Sea Realm went through the fourth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, they might have just coasted through. No one made it into the top ten, or even the top thirty-six, so it's understandable that they didn't obtain the legendary technique.

"If it's not in the Mountain and Sea Realm, then it definitely is in the Demon Dragon Clan."

Having figured this out, Ji Fuyou had no regrets.

Instead of spending a lot of effort and racking one's brains to obtain one or two legendary inheritances from the Demon Dragon Clan, it is more convenient to buy them directly in the Flying Realm.

The abundance of legendary techniques will help him to deduce legendary techniques that suit him more quickly and achieve a breakthrough in the legendary realm.

In a brief exchange, the flying boat arrived at a palace built on a mountain peak.

Although there were many guests in the palace, the number of service staff was no less than that of the guests, truly demonstrating respect for any outsider.

Xueying led Ji Fuyou into the Star God Pavilion, where another person quickly came to greet them.

"Does the Heavenly Lord want to see the complete Legendary Law, or...?"

"Let's take a look at those three complete volumes of legendary magic first."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"plz follow me."

Xueying and the staff of the Star God Pavilion quickly led him upstairs and into a room inscribed with a large number of array patterns.

The room is spacious, covering several hundred square meters, and features three raised platforms.

Each platform has a crystal floating on it, connected to a certain array beneath the platform, emitting a faint light, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary crystal.

"The three complete legendary techniques are the Heavenly Phoenix Nine Revolutions, the Fiery Phoenix Treasure Scripture, and the Heavenly Star Sword Manual."

The staff member smiled and said, "The Heavenly Lord can use his divine sense to investigate and obtain information about these inheritances, including their prices."

Ji Fuyou nodded, and his divine sense quickly sensed the Heavenly Phoenix Nine Revolutions.

As he gradually digested the information about this method, he found himself increasingly rejecting its content.

"To transform oneself... into a phoenix!? The Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Phoenix is ​​the process of completely transforming into this mythical creature..."

Although the boundaries of races were broken from the moment the body became energy, allowing one to be male or female, human or beast, and to freely transform into any form, the essence was that of a human transforming into a phoenix...

He felt a little uncomfortable.

"Let's look at the next book."

He then turned to the Yanhuang Treasure Scripture.

This cultivation method won't transform a person into an ancestral phoenix called Yanhuang, but whether it's breaking through to the legendary level or cultivating at the legendary stage, it almost always requires the assistance of Yanhuang's power.

And Yanhuang...

It is the national guardian beast of the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty.

The origin of everything related to the phoenix and the dragon.

It can be said that without this divine beast, there would be no Yanhuang Holy Dynasty today.

It is said to be formed from the rules of the power of destruction and the power of rebirth.

"It's like drawing a pie in the sky."

Ji Fuyou turned his attention back to the Heavenly Star Sword Manual.

This classic text...

Things are finally back to normal.

After cultivating to the legendary level, you need to use a material called "Celestial Star Stone".

If you don't use "Celestial Star Stones", you can still cultivate by absorbing star power, but the speed will be very slow.

The method of obtaining the Celestial Stone is not described in this book.

"These three books give me the feeling that they were deliberately placed here, and each one corresponds to a kind of temptation."

Ji Fuyou pondered this in his heart.

As a civilization that survived the eighth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty certainly possesses more than three complete legendary techniques. The three techniques it can offer all have some issues.

As for the price...

A new unit of currency was mentioned here.

"Star Crystal."

A golden physique source crystal, once the interference of will is removed, contains energy equivalent to a star crystal.

A complete legendary cultivation method, even the cheapest one, the Yanhuang Treasure Scripture, costs 13000 copies.

"Even if a tenth-level Celestial Realm cultivator who has opened the Star Gate does not cultivate, and uses all the star power they absorb to condense star crystals, they can only condense one star crystal per month. It would take nearly 1100 years to exchange it for a complete legendary technique."

Ji Fuyou quickly obtained this data.

Of course, a civilization belonging to the tenth-tier Celestial Realm can absorb its subordinate civilizations.

After all, the final reward for each round of the Heavenly Ranking War is probably hundreds of golden source crystals.

If this subordinate civilization is powerful enough, even if it cannot take all the benefits like the Illusion Clan, taking half of them would still amount to dozens or hundreds of golden source crystals.

Now he understood why a dignified 12th-rank Inspector of the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty would bestow a portion of Phoenix Blood upon Li Luo, the City Lord of Yaoxing Zhuque City, and why Zhuque City had formed the Heaven and Earth Alliance. As long as Li Luo could use his status as the Alliance Leader to obtain several hundred Golden Source Crystals from those dozens of civilizations, the Inspector's investment in the Phoenix Blood would be recouped.

and so……

can not afford.

"Although I can't afford them, I've managed to figure out the different types of legendary items just by reading these complete introductions to the legendary methods."

Ji Fuyou pondered: "Legendary is also divided into four tiers."

It's normal to divide it into four levels.

But the mental power mentioned here...

Surprisingly, it's not a hard requirement for advancing to Legendary rank, but rather the second rank in the fourth rank of Legendary!
"It seems that all three cultivation techniques relied on external aids to achieve the breakthrough to the Legendary realm. After reaching the Legendary level, one can then comprehend the power of the mind, which is the second stage of the Legendary realm..."

He drew a connection to the concept of a “true” legend derived from the dissipation of many people’s spiritual fluctuations.

and so……

Those legends that rely on external means to break through are not considered true legends. Only after cultivating "spiritual power" can one be called a true legend.
At this moment, a staff member, realizing that Ji Fuyou had almost finished reading the introductions to the three cultivation techniques, reminded him: "Your Majesty, these cultivation techniques are actually divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The upper volume is only 1% of the price of the full volume. If Your Majesty has exceptional talent and can quickly master the upper volume, as long as you are willing to join the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty and marry a princess of the Holy Dynasty, the middle and lower volumes will be given to you for free."

"Join the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty..."

Under the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, there is a concept of cause and effect.

Of course, the cause and effect mainly come from the forces behind the civilization they came into contact with, as well as the alien beasts and monsters they faced.

However, the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty is already at the very top of the Heavenly Ranking War, and alien beasts and demons cannot pose any threat to them.

Among the opposing forces, apart from the other top-tier powers, what other force would dare to target them?

Of course, potential dangers are unavoidable; however, many civilizations are under pressure from the Heavenly Ranking War and the Mist.

If you don't make contact with advanced civilizations, but others do, aren't you just courting death?
When the rewards outweigh the risks, there will naturally be people willing to take risks.

But what if one could directly join the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty and become a member of it...?

It's likely that if one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs will benefit.

"Complete the first volume quickly... the requirements can't be too low, can they?"

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he directly changed the subject: "Let's first take a look at those cultivation techniques that can lead directly to the legendary realm."

"Heavenly Lord, please follow me."

The staff were just giving a reminder, fulfilling their duty.

Seeing that Ji Fuyou had no intention of having a deep conversation, she quickly led him downstairs.

Most of the downstairs space is used to store legendary heirlooms. Although there are arrays, the placement is somewhat haphazard.

Simply arrange them in individual jade boxes, ensuring they don't interfere with other crystals.

"The methods to reach the legendary realm are divided into three minor levels: top-tier, superior, and ordinary, with prices ranging from 200, 100, and 50 star crystals respectively."

The staff member explained with a smile: "Ordinary cultivation methods rely on external objects to achieve legendary status, and once legendary status is achieved, it is difficult to improve one's cultivation level. Superior cultivation methods require cultivating mental power to achieve legendary status, while top-tier cultivation methods allow one to first achieve legendary status by relying on external objects, and then gradually improve one's strength without being limited by mental power."

"Huh? What do you mean by not being limited by mental power?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

"There has only ever been one way to distinguish cultivation levels, and that is strength."

The staff member smiled and said, "100% of 100 and 50% of 200. The legendary one who cultivates the power of the mind is the second level of the legendary. By borrowing external objects to cultivate the legendary, one can continue to improve one's combat power, making one's combat power no less than that of the legendary one who has cultivated the power of the mind. This is also the second level of the legendary. There is actually no difference between the two."

After saying that, he added, "When a cultivator has already reached the combat power of the second, third, or even fourth level of the legendary realm before comprehending the power of the mind, they will leap to the unprecedented fifth level of the legendary realm in one go! Truly reaching the pinnacle of the legendary realm!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou quickly realized something.

The three complete legendary martial arts techniques upstairs all seem to follow this same path.

However, the legendary skills mentioned in those three techniques are only at the fourth level.

"There's a fifth tier in the Legendary realm?"

"Among intelligent beings, no one has yet been able to cultivate to the fifth level of the legendary realm, but..."

The staff member's eyes were filled with awe: "Our Holy Dynasty's founding ancestor, the Phoenix Emperor Yanhuang, was a being that even a fourth-tier legendary figure could not contend with. He was a fifth-tier being!"

"The Primordial Phoenix..."

Ji Fuyou murmured this word.

Legendary Tier 5!

According to the cultivation system on Red Star, he would be a cultivator at the seventeenth level.

The power of the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty is truly unbelievable.

With these feelings in mind, Ji Fuyou began to select these heritage crystals one by one.

In reality, most of these crystals only serve an introductory function, at most providing a fairly detailed description. The true heirloom crystals will only be brought out after Ji Fuyou confirms his purchase.

After looking at it for a moment, he seemed to recognize something: "Ordinary cultivation techniques and top-tier cultivation techniques, were they written by humans?"

He then added, "These techniques didn't originate from the Heavenly Ranking?"

"Yes."

The staff member nodded: "The cultivation method passed down from the Heavenly Ranking is based on the first step of becoming a Legendary cultivator, which is the power of the mind. However, later generations have modified the Legendary realm, making it possible for people to bypass the power of the mind and become Legendary cultivators."

After saying that, as if afraid that Ji Fuyou would misunderstand, he quickly said, "The times are changing, and so should cultivation methods. The cultivation methods bestowed by the rules of the Heavenly Ranking are outdated, so we must naturally innovate."

After hearing this, Ji Fuyou did not say anything, but instead shifted his focus to superior martial arts techniques.
