The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 192 Lu Ye Makes the List, Shocking Dongcang City

According to Lu Ye's estimation, these seven stone tablets should contain a considerable secret!
If he could gain an insight, it should improve his strength.

However, it is not appropriate to make the list in the public eye.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye decided to try it out late at night when there were fewer people around.

Fang Zhiyu of the Tianxuan Sect successfully ascended to the Dongcang Stone Tablet List, causing a huge sensation and attracting a large number of people to come and see this stone tablet that has existed for tens of thousands of years.

Dongcang Square suddenly became bustling with activity.

Many martial arts practitioners, inspired by Fang Zhiyu's actions, gritted their teeth and vowed that they would strive to reach the Grandmaster realm in their lifetime and leave their names on the Dongcang Stone Tablet.

This lively and noisy atmosphere continued until late at night before finally subsiding considerably.

As large crowds began to leave, Dongcang Square gradually quieted down.

It wasn't until nearly midnight, when there wasn't a single person in sight around the square, that a figure in black finally appeared silently from afar.

This time, Lu Ye didn't even let Chen Lingxiang come along.

"If I can make an attempt once a month... wouldn't that mean I can get more rewards by going from low to high?"

With this thought flashing through his mind, Lu Ye already had an idea.

This time, there's no need to put in much effort; just get on the leaderboard and grab a reward.

In the next instant, Lu Ye arrived in front of the silent and deserted hundred-meter-long stone monument, leaped into the air, and used his finger as a sword to quickly write the three large characters "Chen Beixuan" in mid-air!
Before coming here, Lu Ye specifically asked Chen Lingxiang if he could use a pseudonym.

The affirmative answer was yes, for example, among the top thirty, there are still code names such as "Nameless" and "Shura".

Lu Ye's idea was to first squeeze into the top 30 or so, and then see what the so-called insights were all about.

Controlling the score! That's what Lu Ye needs to do.

He wanted to collect as many rewards as possible from the lowest to the highest on the Dongcang Stone Tablet list.

At this moment, the strength he used was approximately at the second level of the Grandmaster realm.

From twenty-fifth to twenty-eighth, all are at this level of cultivation. Lu Ye estimates that his ranking should be around twenty-fifth.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the Dongcang Stone Tablet changed again, and a new name appeared in the twenty-second position!

[Martial Arts Grandmaster Level 3: Chen Beixuan!]

"This is an attack that the stone tablet judges to be capable of only at the third level of a Grandmaster?"

After seeing the ranking and realm assessment, Lu Ye smiled faintly. Then, the hundred-meter-long stone tablet in front of him emitted a vast and ancient fluctuation that only he, the newest entrant on the list, could perceive.

Lu Ye immediately focused his mind and devoted himself to the insights emanating from the vast stone tablet.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye headed to Dongcang Square to compete for a spot on the leaderboard. In the inn, Chen Lingxiang couldn't sleep either, so he sat by the window, gazing into the direction of the square.

"I wonder what ranking Young Master Lu will achieve?"

Not being on the list was naturally not on Chen Lingxiang's mind. What she was curious about was whether it was in the twenties or... the teens.

After all, given Young Master Lu's strength in killing a Grandmaster at the fifth level with a single sword strike, making it into the top twenty was a foregone conclusion.

Another inn.

Jiang Lingyue did not fall asleep either, but instead meditated and cultivated.

Fang Zhiyu's achievement of making the list earlier today has already spread throughout the disciples of the Wuxiang Sect. Meanwhile, on the plaza, Lu Ye opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

After the enlightenment he just experienced, his Grandmaster Origin Qi has solidified by at least one-third!

Furthermore, it was equivalent to consuming several spiritual fruits, which directly led to a significant improvement in his cultivation level, bringing him just one step away from the late stage of the sixth level of the Grandmaster realm.

Keep in mind, how long has it been since he advanced to the sixth level of Grandmaster?
"This is just the reward for ranking in the twenties or so; the higher you go, the better the reward..."

After fully digesting this insight, Lu Ye retracted his aura, and with a flash, left Dongcang Square.

On the enchanting Dongcang Stone Tablet, the three unfamiliar characters "Chen Beixuan" are surrounded by a faint, radiant light.

In the inn.

Hearing the noise from next door, Chen Lingxiang, who had been waiting, immediately got up and gently knocked on the door.

"Sir, it's me."

"Please come in."

Chen Lingxiang nimbly slipped into Lu Ye's room and, without hiding his curiosity, asked, "Young Master Lu, did you successfully pass the exam?"

Nodding, Lu Ye calmly said, "Successful, number twenty-two."

"what?"

Chen Lingxiang was stunned. Based on her estimation, Lu Ye's strength was definitely not just in the twenties.

In Chen Lingxiang's mind, he was the top genius in the Northern Territory in the last thousand years!

Chen Lingxiang was shocked; no one had ever done anything like controlling the score on the Dongcang Stone Tablet before.

Many people don't even understand this move. To get on the list, even martial arts masters go all out. How could they dare to hold back most of their strength?
Looking at Chen Lingxiang, who was clearly stunned, Lu Ye smiled slightly and did not explain what it meant to control the score or the rankings.

The next day, early in the morning, the entire city of Dongcang was instantly set ablaze.

The Dongcang City Lord's Mansion announced the official opening of the annual Eastern Border Trade Fair, and at the same time, a banquet was held in the City Lord's Mansion to entertain guests from all directions.

Aside from the major forces that possess martial arts grandmasters, any independent cultivator who has reached the Innate Realm is welcome to attend the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion.

Meanwhile, Dongcang Square became lively once again.

Today, many people are still drawn to the news that Fang Zhiyu of Tianxuan Sect has successfully made it onto the list, changing the stone tablet list that has remained unchanged for several years.

Soon, those familiar with the list discovered that the Stone Tablet List seemed to include more than just Fang Zhiyu's name; it was a newly appeared list.

"If I remember correctly, the person who was originally ranked twenty-second on the Dongcang Ranking was Liu Guang, right? How come he's now twenty-third?"

"I also remember him, this Chen Beixuan... he's definitely a newcomer! Martial Arts Grandmaster Level 3... how come I've never heard of him before?"

The Dongcang Stele, which had once again undergone subtle changes, immediately sparked a great deal of discussion among many people.

They arrived at Dongcang Square early in the morning but didn't see anyone trying to climb the rankings. Doesn't that mean that Chen Beixuan, who climbed the rankings later, did so when no one was around last night?
When news of the changes to the Eastern Cang Ranking spread, even the City Lord's Mansion received the news.

In the City Lord's Mansion, in the area where the Tianxuan Sect was located, Fang Zhiyu was receiving congratulations from everyone.

Upon receiving the news, the city lord Zhang Ling was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled.

"Just now, I learned of another piece of news: a prodigy named Chen Beixuan, who is not yet fifty years old, has also successfully reached the top of the Eastern Cang Stone Tablet with the third level of Martial Arts Grandmaster, ranking twenty-two, following in the footsteps of young friend Fang!"
