Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Gathering of the Heavenly Prides

Time flew by, with half a month passing quickly.

With Mu Qianqiu and several Peak Masters from the Formation Sect leading the way, they encountered no trouble along the journey.

On this day, half a month later, the Formation Sect’s Flying Boat finally reached its destination, the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Arriving above the Luoyun Mountain Range, one could immediately see the dense throngs of Martial Artists below and the giant teleportation vortex within the mountain’s gorges.

Obviously, that vortex was the entrance to the Ancient Ruins.

At this moment, over a hundred thousand Martial Artists had gathered here, not to mention the two major forces of the Divine Flame Alliance and Red Soul Hall, as well as a group of the Demon Race, whose power was no less than the other two.

These members of the Demon Race had established their own tribes, learned human civilization, and even dressed and spoke no differently from humans, unlike the Magical Beasts.

After the Formation Sect arrived, Mu Qianqiu ordered the Flying Boat to approach the Divine Flame Alliance’s forces and then led a few elders to fly towards the other Sects of the Divine Flame Alliance.

The Divine Flame Alliance was comprised of six major Sects: the Formation Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Divine Flame Sect, Bodhi Hall, Third Person Pavilion, and Dark Fragrance Hermitage.

These six powers were the strongest of the Divine Flame Alliance, with numerous second and third-tier Sects as vassals beneath them, but the Six Sects were always revered above all.

Though there were differences in strength among the Six Sects, since they had formed the Divine Flame Alliance, they were naturally as close as branches on the same tree, helping each other and working together to resist the Red Soul Hall.

All three major forces were waiting for all of their respective powers to arrive in order to seek fairness by entering the secret realm at the same time.

Therefore, at this moment, countless Martial Artists from the three forces were guarding the teleportation vortex, watching each other closely and with vigilance.

At this time, Lin Chen looked up towards the direction of the teleportation vortex, his heart suddenly throbbing, for he could sense at least dozens of presences among the young Martial Artists before him that were no weaker than him and Chang Bai.

It seemed that this venture was going to be quite challenging.

"Everyone, it seems we’re in for some trouble this time. We’ll be dealing with people from the Red Soul Hall. Once we enter, don’t rush to snatch the treasures inside; prioritizing our lives is most important,"

Lin Chen cautioned Qin Kaifeng, Xia Wanxin, and the others as he observed the distance Martial Artists.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Even without Lin Chen’s reminder, they had no intention of vying with the prodigies before them.

"I didn’t expect Tian Peng to be here for the treasure hunt this time. He’s ranked ninth on the Eastern Domain’s Earth List. His Cultivation reached the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm a decade ago, and although it hasn’t changed since then, his strength has become incredibly powerful,"

Qin Kaifeng remarked with surprise as he looked at a short-haired man in the distance.

Hearing this, Lin Chen followed Qin Kaifeng’s gaze toward the short-haired man, immediately feeling startled by his presence.

If one paid close attention, they could sense an extraordinary aura emanating from the man, which made Lin Chen doubtful of his ability to defeat him.

However, Lin Chen was rather curious about the Earth List that Qin Kaifeng had mentioned.

In the Formation Sect, Lin Chen was already ranked within the top five on the Inner Sect Pride List, but the significance of this ranking was only limited to within the Formation Sect.

"What is the Earth List!?"

From Qin Kaifeng’s implications, Lin Chen knew that the rankings of this Earth List were quite extraordinary.

"In our Eastern Domain, based on the Cultivation of Martial Artists from the three major forces, two rankings have been compiled for the Eastern Domain."

"The so-called Earth List ranks Martial Artists below the Heavenly Human Realm based on their combat strength. Of course, this ranking is subject to delay and isn’t updated in real-time. For instance, if a Martial Artist is in Seclusion, their ranking remains unchanged because others can’t challenge them during that period."

"However, this ranking can remain unchanged for no more than three months at most. If someone remains in Seclusion without challenge for three months, then their ranking will be usurped by those behind them,"

"The Heaven List, like the Earth List, is just that it’s a ranking for those above the Heavenly Human Realm in our Eastern Domain."

Qin Kaifeng explained earnestly to Lin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen became quite curious. He was eager to know where his current Cultivation strength would place him on this list.

"Brother Qin, in your opinion, where could I rank on this Earth List?"

Immediately afterward, Lin Chen voiced his thoughts to Qin Kaifeng.

"With Lin Chen’s strength, you should be able to make it into the top hundred without a problem,"

Qin Kaifeng looked at Lin Chen earnestly and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was slightly surprised, thinking that with his strength, he had not expected to rank only within the top hundred of the Earth List. This showed just how many Heavenly Prides there were in the entire Eastern Domain, and it seemed that the Formation Sect did not hold much of an advantage.

"By the way, do you know what Wu Chao’s ranking is?"

Lin Chen looked at the distant Wu Chao, who was also looking at the short-haired man Tian Peng, and curiously asked.

"What do you think, Brother Lin Chen, where could Brother Wu Chao rank?"

Qin Kaifeng turned to Lin Chen, inviting him to guess.

Lin Chen observed the Eastern Domain’s prodigious Martial Artists off in the distance; he could sense several dozen strong presences.

"He should be able to rank in the top five, right?"

Lin Chen wasn’t sure but voiced his guess tentatively.

Hearing this, Qin Kaifeng shook his head slightly, indicating that Lin Chen’s guess was incorrect.

"Too high or too low? Could it be that he made it into the top three?"

Lin Chen said with a light smile, yet Qin Kaifeng shook his head again.

"Brother Wu Chao is ranked tenth on the Earth List,"
