Chapter 850 Li Mus Action

Standing in front of the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List, w.a.n.g Yanyi stretched himself languidly, drew his sword casually, and thrust it. A beam of sword light ripped through the air like a flash of lightning and hit the stone tablet.

Li Mu watched attentively with wide open eyes.

Not only did he want to know w.a.n.g Yanyis true power, cultivation level, and ranking on the Earth Rankings List, but he also wanted to know the latters real name.

w.a.n.g Yanyi was too mysterious.

He was born in the Ziwei Star Zone, but he knew so much about the Celestial Court. Moreover, he came to Earth through other channels rather than the Gate of the Ancestors, and he blended in with the people on Earth so quickly. Li Mu had a feeling that w.a.n.g Yanyi was not his real name.

The stone tablets for the three lists, which had a kind of mysterious power, would show peoples real names.

For example, the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List showed the real name of Cloud Light SaintessLi Rouran.

Boom!

Sword light flashed.

As expected, numerous golden divine patterns s.h.i.+ning with dazzling light appeared on the stone tablet and formed three large words

w.a.n.g Yanyi.

The name rose up continuously and finally stopped moving at the location below Cloud Light Saintesss name, close to the top of the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List.

He ranked fifth!

The crowd broke into exclamations of surprise, and a heated discussion ensued.

A strange mood pervaded through the crowd.

Many people, especially the pract.i.tioners of various immortal sects other than the six major Divine Clans, had high expectations of w.a.n.g Yanyi because he had defeated Lin Yuhan. They hoped that he would take first place on the Earth Rankings List and defeat the geniuses from the Celestial Court, which, in a certain sense, could prove some things.

However, it turned out that w.a.n.g Yanyi was just a little more powerful than Lin Yuhan, and he was still inferior to Cloud Light Saintess and other peerless geniuses from the Divine Clans of the Celestial Court.

Li Mu felt quite disappointed.

w.a.n.g Yanyis ranking was not the reason why he felt that way.

The reason was that this person was really called w.a.n.g Yanyi.

It meant that w.a.n.g Yanyi was not an a.s.sumed name.

Some questions in Li Mus mind disappeared in an instant.

w.a.n.g Yanyi walked down the stone stairway from the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List and yawned under the gazes of many people without regard for his own image. He had no intention of walking to the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List. He just nodded at Li Mu, returned to the shed, and began to drink holding the sword in his arms.

The Earth Rankings List changed again.

Lin Yuhan, the genius from the Rain Clan, dropped from the top five ranking into sixth place.

That was enough to make the faces of the people from the Rain Clan darken.

The reason was that his ranking indicated something else.

It indirectly proved that Young Master Tingyu, the former successor of the Rain Clan who died at w.a.n.g Yanyis hands, was less powerful than Cloud Light Saintess and the successors of the other Divine Clans. In others words, Young Master Tingyu ranked last among the successors of the six major Divine Clans in terms of fighting power.

All kinds of arguments could be settled now.

Undoubtedly, the Rain Clan had suffered the biggest blow in the compet.i.tion for their rankings on the three lists. It was like a sponge saturated with water whose real weight was revealed after it was squeezed. It became so light that it didnt even seem to exist.

Among all the pract.i.tioners of the Rain Clan, Lin Guanquan, the chief of the Seasonal Rain Palace, was perhaps the only one who breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, only one pract.i.tioner was eliminated from the Earth Rankings List, and his ranking fell from second-to-last to the last place.

Anyway, he remained on the list, which meant that he was qualified to enter the immortal palace.

That was a blessing in misfortune.

However, his luck did not last long.

Li Mu had been watching quietly with his arms folded across his chest. However, to his horror, Lin Guanquan saw Li Mu coming over from a distance and making his way toward the three stone tablets. Li Mu had finally decided to compete for the ranking!

This son of a b.i.t.c.h

Despair gripped Lin Guanquans heart.

Being more powerful than Lin Guanquan, Li Mu would surely get on the Earth Rankings List. In this case, Lin Guanquan would be expelled from the list

For a moment, Lin Guanquan had an impulse to rush forward and stop Li Mu, but he knew that doing so would only bring shame upon himself.

His face contorted with jealousy, anger, and horror.

Countless other pract.i.tioners became excited.

Is he going to take action?

As a mortal from the secular world, Li Mu had given many outstanding performances. He was said to be on the same level as the talented successors of the six major Divine Clans. All the pract.i.tioners wondered which position Li Mu would rank on the Earth Rankings List.

Soon, however, their eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly popped out of their eye sockets.

Li Mu didnt go to the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List; instead, he walked toward the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List!

What

Is he going to compete for a place on the Human Rankings List?

The pract.i.tioners in the inner square didnt believe it until Li Mu walked up the stone steps, stepped onto the stone platform, and stopped in front of the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List.

After feeling great despair, Lin Guanquan became so excited that his entire body began to tremble.

Thats great.

Hes not going to the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List.

In this case, my name would not be expelled from the Earth Rankings List.

He roared with laughter when he heard the people around him doubting Li Mus power.

Li Mu, you would rather be someone in a group of n.o.bodies than be a n.o.body in a group of geniuses, right? He laughed wildly. For some reason, he directly mocked Li Mu, saying, You know very well that you cant get a good place on the Earth Rankings List, and you are afraid of revealing your true power. Is that the reason why you have chosen the Human Rankings List? Im afraid you dont know that only pract.i.tioners in the King Realm can compete for places on the Human Rankings List. You once said that you could contend with the successors of the six major Divine Clans, didnt you? Even though you chose the Human Rankings List, the stone tablet for the list will not accept you. It is a divine artifact with a spirit, so it wont accept a coward like you.

The other pract.i.tioners watching the compet.i.tion had the same thought.

In their opinion, choosing to compete for places on the Human Rankings List because of the lack of ability to rank high on the Earth Rankings List was some kind of opportunistic behavior.

They believed that the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List, which was a divine artifact, would surely let Li Mu know what it meant to go for wool and come home shorn.

Li Mu took action under their gazes.

Instead of using his broadsword, he punched the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List with his fist.

Once upon a time, there was a pract.i.tioner in the Upper King Realm who was greedy for fame. He wanted to take first place on the Human Rankings List. The divine artifact for the Human Rankings List was enraged and hurt him badly. The divine artifact has its own spirit, and it is something beyond the reach of ordinary people. The path for pract.i.tioners is a long one, so they must be sincere. Those who want to take advantage of opportunities will surely be hurt by the Great Way.

The speaker was a white-haired pract.i.tioner in the crowd.

Many people agreed with him.

Boom!

Li Mu hit the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List with his fist.

The stone tablet shook violently.

Numerous golden divine patterns s.h.i.+ning brightly with dazzling golden light appeared above the stone tablet. The patterns looked like golden snakes dancing wildly and almost covered the whole stone tablet. The entire surface of the stone tablet turned into a golden mirror.

In the end, the golden divine patterns converged and formed two large words s.h.i.+ning with golden light

Li Mu!

The words rose to the top of the stone tablet and stopped there.

That was the first place on the Human Rankings List.

When the divine patterns and golden light disappeared, the result became clear.

Li Mu ranked first on the Human Rankings List.

All the pract.i.tioners around the stone platforms were dumbfounded.

The pract.i.tioners who thought that Li Mu would surely be punished by the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List because of his so-called opportunistic behavior lowered their heads in shame and wished they could bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.

Lin Guanquans jaw dropped.

The crowd in the inner square remained silent for a while and then burst into an uproar, as if another handful of salt had been flung into a pot full of boiling oil.

There was only one reason why Li Mu was not punished by the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List. It was because he was actually a pract.i.tioner in the King Realm and not someone in the Upper King Realm as everyone had guessed.

However, that made things even more frightening.

Rumor had it that Li Mu was on par with the successors of the six major Divine Clans.

Among the pract.i.tioners of various immortal sects in the inner square, some vaguely knew something about the battle in the six major channels behind the Gate of the Ancestors. The look on their faces changed. If Li Mu was really in the King Realm, things would be way too ridiculous. After all, hes able to contend against high-level pract.i.tioners like Cloud Light Saintess.

From the intensity of the golden divine patterns on the stone tablet for the Human Rankings List, it could be seen that Li Mu was much more powerful than the pract.i.tioner who ranked second, and they were simply not on the same level.

Standing in front of the stone tablet, Li Mu tried to recall the feeling he had when his fist hit the surface of the stone tablet just now. The surface of the stone tablet was as hard as iron, but he felt as if he had punched air. Why did I have such a feeling?

He turned around and walked down the stone steps.

Of course, things were not over yet, according to his plan.

As the crowd watched curiously, he walked up the stone steps, stepped onto the stone platform, and walked slowly to the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List.

This time, n.o.body said anything.

Lin Guanquan gawked at Li Mus back.

He had taunted Li Mu a few moments ago, but he was like a clown now.

It would be a new miracle if Li Mu could get on the Earth Rankings List as a pract.i.tioner in the King Realm.

If a pract.i.tioner could get on any of the three lists that were intended for pract.i.tioners whose cultivation levels were higher than his, he would become famous across the world. Moreover, that meant he had peerless potential and opportunities and would surely become an influential figure in the future.

Now, even the elders of various major Divine Clans and sects staying in the pavilion in the distance began to pay attention to the compet.i.tion.

Will this mortal get on the Earth Rankings List? A graceful middle-aged woman said. She was Cloud Light Saintesss master.

You asked the wrong question, the founder of Chunyang Clan said, his eyes half-closed.

Why?

You should think about Li Mus ranking on the Earth Rankings List.

Chun Yang, why do you think so highly of this mortal? Another elder asked.

The founder of Chunyang Clan said, I dont think highly of him. Im interested in the person behind him.

Humph! Do you mean that old faker? He hasnt fought for a long time. Maybe he is too old to fight. According to the Pavilion of Natures Secret, his foundation was destroyed in the Power-ending Age due to his lingering yearning for the mundane world. Perhaps he is no longer as powerful as before.

Why dont you take action and wash away the shame that you suffered back then?

Humph.

The people in the pavilion were all big shots from the Celestial Court and various famous mountains and great rivers. They were watching the compet.i.tion between the pract.i.tioners of the younger generation in the inner square. Few young pract.i.tioners could really arouse their interest and arguments. However, when Li Mu stopped in front of the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List, they watched him attentively and even had some arguments.

There was only one reason.

The person behind Li Mu was a formidable master whom they couldnt afford to mess with.

Standing in front of the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List, Li Mu took action.

As usual, he used his fist.

He threw a punch at the stone tablet.

The hearts of countless people suddenly began to thump, as if they had been struck by Li Mus fist.
