I loaded the innate divine power.

Chapter 89 Let's give him a try at the beginning [Eight Updates]

Demonic Extreme Chaos Technique (Second Level): (3580/20000)

Crimson Flame Palm (Level 8): [13576/56800]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 7): [103/64000]

"Breaking through to the mid-stage of Dan Jin, reaching over seven hundred per day —"

"An increase of over a hundred in cultivation progress, hmm, not bad."

Scanning the panel, Shen Yi slowly closed his eyes.

With just cultivation, a progress of over 700 points a day is not considered slow.

After all, the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique is on a different level; compared to other martial arts, it is worlds apart.

The next day, early in the morning.

After having breakfast, Shen Yi left Sacred Flame Peak.

Today is the last day to register.

Not every inner disciple participates in the Dragon Transformation Ranking competition.

After all, they know their own limitations very well.

The competition for the Dragon Transformation Ranking is no child's play; one wrong move and you could die.

Although the Holy Sect has stipulated that killing is forbidden, no one can guarantee absolute safety.

At best, one will be injured; at worst—death wouldn't be surprising.

Your death only proves that your cultivation was inadequate.

Biyang Sect.

Inner Gate Affairs Hall.

Shen Yi arrived at the entrance of this administrative hall.

Today is the last day for registration, but there are still quite a few people here.

People come and go.

It was a very lively scene.

Shen Yi stepped into the Affairs Hall and arrived at the registration window. There was no queue, and he registered directly.

After registering with their identity token, they will be included in the list of contestants for the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

"Hey, Junior Brother Shen!"

Just as Shen Yi finished registering and was about to leave, a voice called out to him.

Shen Yi turned around and saw two familiar figures.

One man and one woman!

It was none other than Jiang Ling and Chen Xuanfeng, who had entered the Holy Sect together back then.

However, he was placed in a position by Bai Suzhen after entering the Holy Sect, and he has not had any contact with them during this time.

I didn't know much about it either.

"Junior Brother Shen, it really is you!"

The two quickly approached him, and Jiang Ling's face lit up with joy as she looked at Shen Yi.

"Long time no see." Shen Yi smiled and nodded.

Shen Yi didn't know many people in the Holy Sect; they were all from the Fire Worship Cult, so he didn't give them any attitude.

"Junior Brother Shen, you—you've broken through to the mid-stage of Dan Jin?!" Jiang Ling looked at him, her pupils shrinking involuntarily.

Shen Yi nodded: "Yes, I broke through not long ago."

!!!

What kind of monster is this?!

In just over a month, he broke through from the Marrow Cleansing Realm to the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm!

That's an astonishing range.

She wasn't surprised that Shen Yi broke through to the Dan Jin realm, but to reach the mid-stage of Dan Jin in such a short time showed that his talent hadn't slowed down at all.

Having witnessed Shen Yi's breakthrough and growth in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Shen Yi's cultivation has now caught up.

Next time, I'm afraid we'll have to surpass it.

This terrifying improvement is probably something even a top genius would achieve in the Holy Sect.

"Junior Brother Shen, congratulations!" Jiang Ling said with a smile, snapping out of her daze.

"A little progress, nothing to brag about," Shen Yi smiled.

"Junior Brother Shen, are you here also to register for the Dragon Transformation Ranking competition?"

Chen Xuanfeng suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Shen Yi glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Yes, let's give it a try."

"Junior brother, the Dragon Transformation Competition is no child's play. A slight mistake could lead to an accident," Chen Xuanfeng said, looking at him.

"I'm pretty tough, I don't think there will be that many accidents," Shen Yi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanfeng didn't say anything and silently lowered his head.

"Junior brother, where do you live now? I don't think I've ever seen you in the inner sect area before." Jiang Ling looked at him with curiosity on her face.

"I'm at the Sacred Flame Peak Dojo. If you have time, feel free to come over and have a chat," Shen Yi said.

Sacred Flame Peak—A sacred site!?

Jiang Ling's pupils contracted.

Living in a monastery—the difference in treatment is like night and day.

"Junior brother, are you with Bai Zhenchuan?" Jiang Ling asked.

Shen Yi shook his head: "No, Master Bai lives at the Jade Peak Dojo, while I live at the Sacred Fire Peak Dojo by myself."

Jiang Ling opened her mouth wide and stared at him with wide eyes.

To have an entire dojo to myself!

What incredible treatment!

The dojo is a sacred sect-level facility reserved for true disciples.

Inner disciples enjoy the privilege of a dojo, a level of prestige that even the top-ranked disciple on the Dragon Transformation Ranking doesn't receive.

That's a really thick leg to cling to!

"I'll be going now, until we meet again," Shen Yi said, and then walked away.

The two stood motionless, watching Shen Yi's departing figure.

They couldn't even imagine receiving such treatment.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to latch onto that powerful figure.

A golden opportunity has been missed.

"Junior Brother Shen, we meet again. What a coincidence."

Just as he left the Holy Sect Affairs Hall, a voice came from behind him. Shen Yi looked over and saw several figures appear in his field of vision.

The leader was a young man in a black robe, followed by two others.

It was none other than Jin Yuan, who had invited him to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

"Is this guy deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Shen Yi frowned. The Heaven and Earth Alliance had many spies within the Holy Sect, so this was highly likely.

He didn't think it was a coincidence at all.

This bastard is like a dog skin plaster!

We won't rest until we get him into the Heaven and Earth Alliance!

Seeing Jin Yuan and the others approaching, Shen Yi remained calm and cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior Brother Jin."

Jin Yuan stepped forward, smiling as she looked at him, her pupils contracting slightly as she glanced at him.

"Junior Brother Shen, you've broken through?"

"I just broke through not long ago," Shen Yi said calmly.

"He is indeed an outstanding talent!"

Jin Yuan's eyes burned with desire as she looked at him as if he were a precious treasure.

Such outstanding talent should not be missed.

His gaze shifted, and Jin Yuan's smile grew even more amiable. Looking at Shen Yi, he said with a beaming smile, "Junior Brother Shen, it's fate that we've met. There happens to be a nice restaurant nearby; how about you do me the honor of having a meal there?"

again!

Looking at Jin Yuan's friendly smile, Shen Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Jin, but there's no need for a meal. I have to go see my senior sister. Let's talk again next time if there's a chance."

Trying to use Bai Suzhen to intimidate me!?

Jin Yuan's smile froze, and the "friendliness" on his face disappeared. Looking at Shen Yi, he said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then I won't force you. However, tomorrow is the Dragon Transformation Ranking competition. Junior brother, the Dragon Transformation competition is risky, so you must be careful."

"Trying to threaten me?"

Sensing the unspoken meaning in Jin Yuan's words, Shen Yi remained calm and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will pay attention."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Shen Yi didn't even bother with formalities and strode away.

Jin Yuan's face darkened, and he clenched his fists.

Utter disgrace!

What a shame!

This is the first time I've been met with such indifference twice.

"Senior brother, this person is arrogant and unruly; I'm afraid we won't be able to win him over."

Beside him, a disciple in black spoke cautiously.

Jin Yuan watched Shen Yi's departing figure, his eyes turning icy: "No rush. Isn't he going to participate in the Dragon Transformation Ranking competition? This is a suitable opportunity to let him know what it means for a young person not to be too arrogant."

"Senior brother, this person is not simple. He already had extraordinary strength back then, and now that he has broken through to the mid-stage of Dan Jin, I'm afraid that ordinary disciples would not be his match."

Another disciple whispered.

"No rush, let's watch the show slowly. Let him be arrogant for a while, and we'll deal with him later." Jin Yuan said coldly, and then walked away.

The two disciples immediately followed closely behind.

We returned to Sacred Flame Peak.

Although there were some minor hiccups, Shen Yi didn't take them to heart.

The threat posed by the Heaven and Earth Alliance is not enough to be posed by a mere gold coin.

If you participate in the Dragon Transformation Ranking competition, you will inevitably run into each other; it's just a matter of time.

Once he wins the title of Dragon Transformation Leader, his "value" will qualify him to see the Heavenly Platform.

Trouble? Solve it!

Stepping into the cultivation room of the Sacred Flame Palace, Shen Yi sat cross-legged and continued to cultivate the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique.

Strengthen our power!

The struggle to transform into a dragon is his current focus; everything else is secondary.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The following day, a series of powerful bell tolls emanated from the depths of the Biyang Sect.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The bell tolled six times, its sound echoing throughout the land of Biyang.

In the courtyard, Shen Yi wiped the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze to the depths of Biyang.

The six chimes also heralded the official start of the new Dragon Transformation Ranking.

Shen Yi stood up, and Hong Ying quickly stepped forward, presenting the Tiger Soul Blade to him with both hands.

"Young master, your weapon."

"No need, it's just the first time, there's no need." Shen Yi shook his head and then started walking down the mountain.

Watching Shen Yi's departing figure, Hong Ying glanced at the Tiger Soul Blade in her hand, then put Shen Yi's spiritual weapon back in its original place.

Biyang Sect.

Transformation Platform!

Shen Yi arrived at the arena where the Dragon Transformation Ranking was being contested.

A large number of people have gathered in the arena below the Hualongtai.

The Dragon Transformation Platform, which is two zhang high, is several hundred zhang in size.

Shen Yi arrived at the area where disciples were competing for the Dragon Transformation Ranking and waited.

Besides him, there were several hundred other inner disciples.

Of the more than one thousand inner disciples, about two-thirds participated in the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

There are a lot of people.

Shen Yi glanced around and saw that most of them were in the middle to late stages of Dan Jin, and there were quite a few disciples who had reached the perfection of Dan Jin.

The Holy Sect has a vast foundation.

Even the elite inner disciples only have some status.

Only core disciples and true disciples of the Holy Sect can achieve significant improvement.

Especially those who are considered true disciples.

The seventy-two disciples were all martial arts masters.

There are even quite a few martial arts masters who have surpassed the True Qi Realm.

These are the core strengths of the Holy Sect.

Inner disciples are merely outstanding "talents".

Shen Yi glanced at the many disciples around him.

Among these hundreds of people, not one was a member of the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

The first round was an elimination round for the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

Only those who pass the elimination rounds are eligible to compete for a place on the official leaderboard.

He didn't even pass the first round, and couldn't even get close to the disciples on the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

Of the hundreds of disciples who participated, only one hundred were ultimately qualified to compete for a spot on the leaderboard.

The rest will all be eliminated.

The competition for the Dragon Transformation Ranking is a major event for the Holy Sect.

It was very lively, with many outer disciples, stewards, and elders watching.

However, during the initial elimination rounds, it is unlikely that any high-ranking members of the Holy Sect will appear.

They will only appear during the final battle for the rankings.

"Junior Brother Shen."

A figure walked up to him, and Shen Yi looked at Chen Xuanfeng in front of him.

He was also one of the first disciples.

"What's up?"

Shen Yi looked at Chen Xuanfeng without much enthusiasm.

The former first holy son of the Zoroastrian Church, although not as strong as others, was not much among the inner disciples of the Holy Sect.

Geniuses are a dime a dozen in the Holy Sect.

"Senior Brother Jin asked me to pass on a message to you," Chen Xuanfeng said in a low voice, looking at him.

Ok?

Hearing this, Shen Yi looked at Chen Xuanfeng in surprise.

"Senior Brother Jin? Which Senior Brother Jin?"

Chen Xuanfeng looked at him and said, "Junior Brother Shen, stop pretending to be confused. You met Senior Brother Jin yesterday."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes: "Gold coins?"

Chen Xuanfeng nodded.

Shen Yi's gaze swept over him: "You've also joined the Heaven and Earth Alliance?"

"The Heaven and Earth Alliance's influence extends throughout the Holy Sect. Several of the Holy Sect's true disciples and many core disciples have joined it. Junior Brother Shen, you are a talented person and should understand the saying 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'"

Chen Xuanfeng looked at him and said earnestly.

"The Heaven and Earth Alliance is ruthless and heartless. What, you didn't know that?"

Shen Yi glanced at him, his expression indifferent.

Chen Xuanfeng looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Junior brother, who in the Holy Sect eats people without spitting out the bones?"

"Joining the Heaven and Earth Alliance will grant you access to its resources, which is a good thing, Junior Brother. Although you have True Disciple Bai backing you up, there is more than one True Disciple in the Heaven and Earth Alliance."

"Moreover, there are even more powerful elders behind you. Junior brother, if someone as talented as you joins the Heaven and Earth Alliance, you will be able to receive support from the Heaven and Earth Alliance's resources in the future, allowing you to go further."

Shen Yi looked at Chen Xuanfeng.

That's true, and that's also a reality.

Within the Holy Sect, everyone has a powerful backer; the difference lies in whose backer is the strongest.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance is merely one of the forces of the Holy Sect; he is not looking at the Heaven and Earth Alliance, but at the Holy Sect.

There's nothing wrong with Chen Xuanfeng wanting to leverage the resources of the Heaven and Earth Alliance for development and improvement.

Within the Holy Sect, the strong prey on the weak; without a powerful backer, one is destined to be dismembered.

However, he only needs one back-end system.

Too much was a hindrance to him.

The Demonic Sect also values ​​human relationships and social etiquette, but he had no interest in such matters.

"Did Jin Yuan send you to persuade them?" Shen Yi looked at him and said calmly.

"You can understand it that way." Chen Xuanfeng nodded.

"Junior Brother Shen, having the Heaven and Earth Alliance as a backer is never a bad thing," Chen Xuanfeng said, looking at him.

No harm —

Shen Yi looked at him, and almost laughed.

This first holy son seems to be living too comfortably.

Given the nature of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, its so-called members are nothing more than "consumables".

Talented people can also become "talented individuals"!

"Junior brother, the competition for the Dragon Transformation Ranking is imminent. Senior Brother Jin said that as long as you agree to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance, he can guarantee that you will be on the Dragon Transformation Ranking."

Chen Xuanfeng looked at Shen Yi with a serious expression.

Oh?

Shen Yi looked at him and smiled: "Then ask him if he has an absolute guarantee that I will get first place? If he can guarantee it, then I will join."

Chen Xuanfeng: "————"

He looked at Shen Yi and remained silent for a long while: "Junior brother, you are stubbornly clinging to your delusions."

"The consequences will be severe!"

"Yeah?"

"Then let him give it a try." Shen Yi said calmly, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
