Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 554 True Spirit
In a dimension higher than the material world, Ji Fuyou observes the entire universe from a "high above" perspective.

"A century has passed in the blink of an eye."

He had interacted with legends.

From the beginning of legends, the lifespan of cultivators has been measured in millennia.

Those legends who comprehended the power of the mind often last for tens of thousands of years.

In addition, there are special cultivators who are demigods, often able to live for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

On this long timescale, a century is less than a year in the average person's perception.

However, this century of peaceful cultivation has allowed Ji Fuyou's cultivation to reach an unprecedented level.

"I have glimpsed the future! In a certain year, a peerless swordsman will cleave the heavens and the abyss with his sword, severing the ages and ushering in an unprecedented golden age of martial arts!"

A century has passed, yet he has not forgotten his original intention of persevering in his spiritual practice.

"In order to follow in his footsteps, to live up to the future, and to make this life worthwhile... I have been cultivating diligently, defeating countless opponents and slaying millions of powerful enemies. Even when faced with the glory of being ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking, I refused to accept it and dared not slacken in the slightest. All for the sake of waiting for his appearance! To challenge him, defeat him, and surpass him!"

He paused slightly at this point.

"Now... I support the Milky Way with my fingertips and ignite the sun with the fire of my heart."

He looked down at the vast, boundless starry sky below.

When exactly will he arrive?

The starry sky is silent.

It simply follows the rules of the universe and operates blindly.

Ji Fuyou observed this starry river for a long time, but still could not get an answer.

A century is a very long time.

It's already equivalent to four or five generations of an ordinary family.

But for the Star God, who is said to be immortal and whose lifespan is often calculated in hundreds of millions of years, it is truly just a fleeting moment.

Moreover, the Eternal Light is considered a top-tier existence even among the Star Gods.

Nearly a thousand years had passed between his fall and his temporary resurrection, but in his words, such a long period of time seemed to pass by much faster than expected.

He seemed to have planned to spend thousands, even tens of thousands of years, to complete his rebirth.

Given this expectation of time, let alone waiting for a hundred years, even waiting for a thousand years would probably not be a big deal for that Eternal Light.

He can afford to wait.

but……

Ji Fuyou, however, had no intention of waiting any longer.

Since there's no answer to the question we just asked...

“If you won’t come… then I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and drag you out.”

The next moment, dazzling starlight cascaded down from Ji Fuyou's body, instantly filling the entire galaxy through this high-dimensional space.

A human hand is only about one foot square, but if you put it on a planetarium, it can cover an entire continent.

If it's a small planetarium, it can even hold the entire planet in your hand.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou is projecting his star power from a higher dimension into the material world, which is equivalent to an ordinary person holding a small globe in their hand.

His palm, formed from endless starlight, easily held the entire galaxy in its grasp.

At first glance, it seems as if the stars are being supported and rotated by fingers.

This magnificent spectacle is awe-inspiring for all living beings on this planet…

It should be said that this scene caused an unprecedented psychological impact on all living beings who could perceive it.

Countless people have even gone mad for this vast and magnificent power.

Let alone the Heavenly Realm, even the Legendary Realm would be at a loss for words to describe the vastness and boundlessness of this power.

Even though they each possessed the power to alter the course of civilization and destroy stars, their understanding of cultivation was still overturned when faced with this radiance that filled the entire galaxy.

After all, there's a huge difference between stars and galaxies.

The number of planets and stars in a single galaxy would easily exceed trillions!

This ratio is even more exaggerated than that of ordinary people and legends.

However, Ji Fuyou did not care about the shock that his actions would cause to the tens of millions of planets and hundreds of millions of living beings in the entire galaxy.

He showered his starlight upon the entire galaxy, and almost all living beings and matter within it were illuminated by his true spirit.

Yes!

It works wonders!

Guided by the power left over from the Eternal Light in the Heavenly Ranking, and aided by the divine ability of the Light of Sincerity to foresee the outcome, Ji Fuyou cultivated diligently for a hundred years, making countless mistakes, and finally entered the Realm of True Spirit.

The power of the mind brings absolute control over one's own power.

The closed loop of the mind leads to a perfect state, making the operation of one's own power flawless and invincible.

An infinite mind allows this perfection to not only manifest in oneself, but also to act like a mirror, reflecting and dismantling the flaws of others.

And the true spirit that arises after transcending the nine levels of the soul...

But it has thoroughly understood the essence of the mind and soul.

In this state, all life forms other than the true spirit will have no secrets regarding their thoughts, ideas, and even the workings of their minds, as the true spirit perceives them.

In other words, he can clearly perceive any thought that arises in the other person's mind.

He can even see clearly the thoughts that arise in the other person's subconscious.

When one person has absolutely nothing to hide from another, the outcome of their confrontation is never in doubt. Therefore, Ji Fuyou's current method for finding the Eternal Light is quite simple.

The eternal light will only be revived in lives whose seeds of the soul have been activated.

This life can be anyone.

However, there is only one Eternal Light in the Nine Heavens.

Because those lives whose seeds of the soul have been activated are often exceptional.

Therefore, he only needs to look at the outstanding cultivators in those civilizations one by one. When he can no longer see through a certain "person", then naturally, that person is the Eternal Light.

This workload is almost impossible for beings below the level of true spirit to complete.

But for Ji Fuyou, who had cultivated a true spirit, it was already an easy task.

As his "gaze" continued to survey and shift from higher dimensions...

Of the tens of millions of inhabited planets, he had only seen a third of them before his gaze settled on one of the most deeply hidden legends.

The master of the Broken Heaven Temple, the legendary fourth-tier demonic dragon who calls himself "Broken Heaven"!

Compared to a hundred years ago, this legend has now comprehended the power of the mind, elevating his own realm to the fifth level of legend.

Moreover, he is not far from completing the mental cycle.

His greatest obsession was to destroy the Divine Dragon Empire.

The emergence of the Star River Alliance has rendered the five top powers virtually defunct, turning them all into members of the alliance, thus indirectly achieving this goal.

Especially recently, he has been pushing to abolish the system of the five top powers and establish nine departments with the Star River Alliance as the core, so that all the people of the five powers can enter the nine departments and replace the original five top powers and forces similar to the Temple of Heaven with the nine departments.

If this proposal succeeds, the Divine Dragon Empire will become a thing of the past, and he will be able to achieve mental closure.

Even if this mental closed loop is extremely forced and will inevitably leave behind various problems, but...

This is the problem of the Heaven-Breaking Demon Dragon.

For that eternal light, these problems were unimportant as long as he could be barely revived.

"Promoting the establishment of nine departments..."

Ji Fuyou glanced at the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon, but was too lazy to continue the stalemate with this Eternal Light.

With a wave of his hand, the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon, enveloped by the power of the void, appeared directly in front of him.

The surroundings spun around him, causing this fifth-tier legendary figure to pause slightly in surprise.

After recognizing Ji Fuyou, he quickly bowed respectfully: "Alliance Leader Ji."

Ji Fuyou remained silent, but under the illumination of his true spirit, he directly saw the seed of the soul that was about to sprout.

For this seed to fully germinate, thereby triggering the power of all the seeds of the soul to flow into its location, thus awakening the eternal light, the soul of the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon must complete the closed loop.

But this was very simple for Ji Fuyou.

With a single tap of his hand, the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon seemed to see, in a daze, the scene from not long ago, where starlight illuminated the Milky Way and wiped out the entire Divine Dragon Empire with overwhelming force.

Azure Dragon, Yinglong, and even all the third-tier legendary figures of the Divine Dragon Empire were annihilated in the face of this devastating catastrophe.

The reason is that Ji Fuyou has not appeared for a hundred years, and they have second thoughts and want to seize control of the Star River Alliance.

Upon closer examination, such a conclusion is clearly untenable.

However, Ji Fuyou directly reflected this result into the depths of the Broken Sky Demon Dragon's mind, and under its influence, his mind, which was already tending towards a closed loop, rapidly moved towards perfection.

As his soul nears fulfillment, the seed of eternal light within him grows rapidly.

It was during this process that Ji Fuyou clearly felt the tremors on the Heavenly Ranking.

The next moment, through the shockwave in the Heavenly Ranking caused by this seed of the soul, he instantly perceived that more than 10799 seeds of the soul were resonating simultaneously.

More than half of these seeds, through the Heavenly Ranking, were delivered to the Heart Seed of the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon via high-dimensional projection, assisting the seed in sprouting and awakening within him at the moment the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon truly completed his mental cycle.

"Got you."

Under the illumination of Ji Fuyou's true spirit, he clearly saw this scene.

"That's a good method. Destroying any one of your spiritual seeds won't harm you. As long as the destroyed seed remains in this galaxy, it will regenerate in someone else in the future. Unless I wipe out all life in this galaxy, you will never truly perish..."

The resurrection methods reserved for this cosmic light are indeed very comprehensive.

pity……

For Ji Fuyou, who had already cultivated a true spirit and was in charge of the Heavenly Ranking, all this concealment was meaningless.

At this moment, the Demon Dragon seemed to have recovered from this emotional shock and began to doubt the reality of the scene.

Once doubt arises, the mind, which is on the verge of perfection, quickly comes to a standstill, stuck at that final step.

It's like hitting a bottleneck.

As his spiritual fulfillment came to a halt, the energy transmitted from the 10799 seeds of the soul also gradually ceased.

but……

"Why did you stop? Did I tell you to stop?"

He gestured with his hand.

The remaining power from the 10799 seeds of the soul was drawn out and poured into the seed of the soul that was about to sprout within the body of the Sky-Breaking Demon Dragon.

Suddenly...

The seed of the heart grows rapidly, completing its final transformation from germination in an instant.

A powerful and mysterious special fluctuation quickly emanated from the body of the Heaven-Breaking Demon Dragon.

Upon seeing this, Ji Fuyou greeted him, "You're awake, Eternal Light."
