Chapter 851 Number One on Two Lists

Boom!

A rumble like thunder in the ninth heaven rang out.

Many pract.i.tioners in the King Realm covered their ears. The deafening rumble of the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List made them feel like countless needles were p.r.i.c.king their eardrums. The pain was unbearable.

Countless golden divine patterns flashed wildly around the stone tablet like alarmed golden koi and then suddenly converged, dying the entire surface of the stone tablet golden. The dazzling golden light rendered the nearby pract.i.tioners of immortal sects unable to open their eyes.

Vague Taoist hymns came from the stone tablet.

The entire stone tablet gave off countless rays of golden light like a s.h.i.+ning golden sun, dying the entire inner square golden.

Is the stone tablet making Taoist hymns?

Has he caused the stone tablet to make Taoist hymns?

How could this be possible? That mortal is obviously in the King Realm, and he hasnt reached the peak of the King Realm yet.

The old monsters in the pavilion felt greatly surprised and looked shocked. They hadnt felt this way for a long time.

The successor of the Ghost Clan named Ghost, who had been sitting calmly on the inner square, suddenly rose to his feet and looked through the ghostly mist swirling around him. His rapid mood swings made the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around him become unstable.

The Cloud Light Saintess raised her head in shock.

Many other pract.i.tioners watched in surprise...

None of the previous compet.i.tors for Earth Rankings had caused a commotion like this.

The answer was about to be revealed.

The golden rays around the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings List finally turned into two dazzling words

Li Mu!

The two words rose up like two rising suns, overtook Lin Yuhan, w.a.n.g Yanyi, the Cloud Light Saintess, Lei Cang, Fairy Shuiyue, and Ghost, and came all the way to the top of the stone tablet.

Is he... number one?

How could he rank first on the Earth Rankings List?

Good heavens! That mortal... He... ranks first on two lists. Is that real?

The crowd burst into an uproar.

Now, even the pract.i.tioners of immortal sects who were mentally prepared to see Li Mu get on the Earth Rankings List felt like something in their hearts had been completely destroyed. They just couldnt believe their own eyes.

However, the change on the stone tablet did not stop.

After the name made up of two dazzling golden words surpa.s.sed Ghost and became the first on the Earth Rankings List, it continued to rise up the stone tablet.

To put it more precisely, the name forced the names of those people below it to back down like the lowly courtiers who didnt dare to stand too close to the high-ranking emperor and kept stepping back...

In the blink of an eye, Li Mus name rose to a level one meter above the name of the person ranking second on the Earth Rankings List.

Normally, the names included in the list were equally s.p.a.ced from one another, and the arrangement of names on the stone tablet for the list looked very neat and had good aesthetic effects.

Now, however, there was a black one-meter gap between the two words Li Mu on the top of the stone tablet and the names below. It was like an insurmountable black moat separating Li Mus name from the other names.

All the people in the inner square watched silently, dumbfounded.

Why did something like this happen?

Could it be that as a divine artifact, the stone tablet distinguished Li Mu from the others on the list in this way because it believed that he was much more powerful than the others?

Has anything like this ever happened before?

The pract.i.tioners of immortal sects glanced at each other as if they wanted to get an answer from the eyes of others.

Li Mu was also stunned.

Whats going on?

It seems... ... a little too strange.

He was indeed aiming for the first place on the Earth Rankings List, so he performed the sixth style of Zhenwu Boxing called the Shattering of a Thousand Stars. Among the first seven styles of Zhenwu Boxing, the sixth style had the greatest single-point destructive power. It seemed ordinary, but those who had mastered it had the legendary power that could shatter the stars.

However, it was still beyond Li Mus expectation that he ranked first on the Earth Rankings List with just one punch.

He felt like a student who just wanted to stand first in the cla.s.s, but accidentally ranked first in the whole school. Is this... too high-profile?

He took a look at his fist and chuckled. Then, he turned around and walked down the stone steps.

The Job is done!

He decided not to go for the Heaven Rankings List for the moment.

There was only a one-word difference between the names of the Earth Rankings List and the Heaven Rankings List, but the real difference between the two lists was great.

Li Mu had learned from the old faker that there was a huge gap in power between pract.i.tioners in the Upper King Realm and those in the Deity Realm. He clearly knew that given his cultivation level, he had the power to fight pract.i.tioners in the Upper King Realm. After fighting the battle behind the Gate of the Ancestors, he improved his understanding of martial arts and the ability to control his strength, and he could easily defeat most of the masters in the Upper King Realm relying on his great physical strength. However, if he were to fight a formidable master in the Deity Realm, he would probably be crushed.

He hadnt figured one thing out. The Cloud Light Saintess could produce divine patterns on the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List by striking it, but that didnt mean he would certainly be able to do the same if he tried.

Ranking first on the Human Rankings List and the Earth Rankings List is great enough.

There is no need to try to get on the Heaven Rankings List. I dont feel confident about that.

I have to keep a low profile.

I should keep an even lower profile.

Otherwise, how could I lie low and finish strong?

As Li Mu walked slowly down the stone steps from the stone tablet for the Earth Rankings list, an uncontrollable uproar suddenly broke out in the quiet inner square. The pract.i.tioners of immortal sects who had been in shock finally came to their senses. Some exclaimed in shock, some rubbed their temples, and others asked loudly about the one-meter gap between Li Mus name and the other names on the Earth Rankings List. Some pract.i.tioners even gazed at Li Mu with awe...

At this time, all pract.i.tioners with a sense of superiority began to reevaluate this mortal that they looked down upon.

Why has this mortal been recognized so highly by the stone tablet?

Is he some G.o.ds son living in the mortal world?

Could it be that he is the reincarnation of a G.o.d?

All kinds of noises and discussions became louder and louder like running floods that were difficult to stop.

Lin Guanquans face was ashen.

He ranked last on the Earth Rankings List a few moments ago, but he was eliminated as Li Mu got on the list.

However, there was no way for him to show any complaint or dissatisfaction.

The gap between him and Li Mu in terms of power was too wide.

He ranked last on the list, but Li Mu ranked first. The gap between them was very clear.

He had been eliminated from the Earth Rankings List, which meant that among the representatives of the Rain Clanone of the six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court, Lin Yuhan was the only one that remained on the list.

Lei Cang showed up at some point in time. He stared fixedly at Li Mu with strong hostility in his eyes.

Wisps of ghostly mist swirled around Ghost like surging ocean waves, and he gave off a gloomy aura. His black eyes flamed with undisguised killing intent toward Li Mu.

Fairy Shuiyue walked over to the foot of the stone tablet with a look of shock and a trace of hostility on her pretty face.

All the pract.i.tioners of the six major Divine Clans looked at Li Mu in a somewhat hostile way.

As a mortal, Li Mu outperformed the rare geniuses of the six major Divine Clans and ranked first on the Earth Rankings List. That was something like a slap in the face for the six major Divine Clans and the Celestial Court, and they just couldnt accept it.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Mu glanced around and sneered, Whats the matter? I see some people who cant afford to lose and get mad. Are you going to join hands to attack me again?

In the pavilion in the distance.

Hey, I didnt expect that things would turn out this way. The founder of Chunyang Clan laughed in surprise.

The beautiful fairy woman said, An outsider has taken possession of what belongs to us. He has taken first place on two lists. What about the dignity of the Celestial Court?

Dignity? The successor of the Cloud Clan has become his maidservant. What do you say about dignity now?

You... Youd better mind the Rain Clans business first.

Theres nothing we can do about it. The stone tablets for the three lists are divine artifacts beyond our control, an old monster said.

No wonder he is that old fakers successor.

That is to say, he is just a pract.i.tioner in the King Realm, but he has the power to defeat most of the pract.i.tioners in the Upper King Realm. Well, if he doesnt have any peerless combat skill, he must have some secret treasures on him. Im getting more and more interested in that brat.

Theres no hurry. Just wait and see.

The lord of the Wind Clan, who had been staying silent, finally spoke.

As soon as he began to speak, the others immediately stopped talking.

Number one on two lists? Ha-ha, thats just a childs game.

A casual and cold voice suddenly rang out and drifted through the air above the inner square like a breeze.

All the people in the square were stunned.

A breeze blew.

To their surprise, a young man wearing a long blue robe suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

No one knew where he came from.

No one noticed how he appeared.

It seemed that he was already here before that voice rang out.

As soon as he appeared, he instantly became the focus of attention. Even the attention that people paid to Li Mus miraculous performance in taking first place on two lists was drawn to the young man wearing a long blue robe fluttering in the wind.

He was a 17 or 18-year-old young man. His long blue hair looked as if it was made of fine jade, giving him a kind of evil beauty. His face looked cold, and his facial features were perfectly curved. He had a perky nose and bright eyes. The curves of his lips were beautiful and fascinating, and there seemed to be seas of stars in his eyes. Everyone was amazed to see his face.

Even Li Mu became a little absent-minded.

The blue-haired young man glanced at Li Mu and said blandly, Do you think that ranking first on two lists is something great?

Without waiting for Li Mus reply, he turned his head, looked at the Cloud Light Saintess, and reprimanded her, Youre the successor of a Divine Clan. How could you be a maidservant for others? Hey, you have really brought great disgrace on the Celestial Court.

You...

The Cloud Light Saintess wanted to retort, but for some reason, she couldnt utter a single word when the young man glanced at her.

You have been enjoying the resources of the Divine Clans of the Celestial Court for twenty years, but you have been trampled by a mortal under his feet. Is that the best you can do? The blue-haired young man glared at Ghost, Lei Cang, Fairy Shuiyue, and the others with a look of disappointment and disdain on his face. With a sneer curling his lip, he said, Youre really a bunch of good-for-nothings.

These successors of major clans were all proud. They were seething with anger, but they didnt dare to say anything.

The dignity of Divine Clans is not to be challenged, and the authority of the Celestial Court is not to be undermined.

The blue-haired young man in a long blue robe seemed to be announcing something.

He walked slowly towards the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

He was going for the Heaven Rankings.

Strangely, all the people in the inner square lapsed into silence, looking at the back of the young man wearing a blue robe.

Who is he?

Many people were asking this question.

Li Mu was asking the same question.

The eyes of the Cloud Light Saintess suddenly lit up. I know who he is, she blurted out.
