2140 Ninth On The Supreme Saint Ranking

“The second test begins now!”

As soon as Zheng Dong Ji finished his sentence, everything turned pitch-black.

When light returned, Duan Ling Tian discovered he was in a huge cave. At first glance, it seemed like there were no exits in the cave. It was completely sealed. It looked desolate. There were no greeneries, only sand and stones. It was completely barren.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

After Duan Ling Tian appeared in the cave, the sound of wind whistling rang in the air before several people appeared in the cave as well.

Similar to Duan Ling Tian, once these people arrived in the cave, they began to observe their surroundings. The cave was huge and looked desolate. They could see from one end to the other end of the cave. Regardless of how innocuous the cave looked, they felt wary because the cave was emitting a subtle pressure.

It was only natural since this was the second test. The first series of tests were already quite difficult for some of them. The second test would definitely be even harder. Therefore, these people came to the conclusion that there must be hidden dangers in this seemingly harmless cave. The sense of the unknown is the most terrifying! Hence, it would do them good to stay alert.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian regained his senses and thought to himself as he looked at the group of people who had just appeared, ‘I wonder who’s in my group…’

As Duan Ling Tian studied the people around him intently, the others were also doing the same to the people around them.

Their thoughts were fairly similar to Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.

For the second test, their comrades’ strength would affect their chances of pa.s.sing the test. If they failed, they would die. It was only natural that everyone felt pressured.

Suddenly, a thin middle-aged man draped in a green cloak saw a white-robed young man. His eyes widened as he cried out in surprise, “Lord Bai Li!” He did not expect he would be in the same group as this person.

“Lord Bai Li?’

When the skinny middle-aged man draped in a green cloak cried out, many people, including Duan Ling Tian, s.h.i.+fted their attention to the white-robed man.

The young man was dressed in a white robe. He was tall and well built. He stood still. His expression was stern, making him look unapproachable. There was a maroon dot in between the young man’s brows. It was extremely eye-catching. As he stood there, he gave off an ethereal feeling. It was as though he was there but not there at the same time just like a celestial being.

One of the sectless cultivators from Sin City saw the young man and said with a voice that was trembling with excitement, “I-it’s r-really Lord Bai Li!”

This sectless cultivator had been staying in Sin City for hundreds of years. He was fortunate enough to have seen the white-robed young man once. The white-robed young man had left a lasting impression on him. Therefore, he was able to recognize the white-robed young man immediately.

“I didn’t think I would be in the same group as Lord Bai Li… With Lord Bai Li around, it would be easy to pa.s.s the second test!” Another sectless cultivator said excitedly.

To the sectless cultivators, Bai Li was like a G.o.d to them.

“Lord Bai Li? H-he’s really Sin City’s Bai Li?”

Many people’s eyes widened in shock. An expression of awe could be seen on their faces.

“He’s Bai Li? One of the three patrons of Sin City? Someone whose cultivation base is at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? A peerless powerhouse who’s ranked at the ninth place on the Supreme Saint Ranking?”

While everyone was looking at Bai Li, Duan Ling Tian’s attention was also on him. He could not help but feel stunned. If the person standing in front of him was really the Bai Li he had heard about, then this person was the strongest person he had ever met, apart from Elder Huo!

Bai Li, one of the three strongest people in Sin City, was at the top of the food chain in Sin City. He was also one of the strongest sectless cultivators in the Dao Martial Saint Land with his cultivation base at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was even ranked in the top ten of the Supreme Saint Ranking! He was ranked at the ninth place!

How strong was he to be ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking?

“Lord Bai Li!”

“Lord Bai Li!”

After the people present confirmed Bai Li’s ident.i.ty, their faces were filled with excitement. They instantly bowed respectfully at Bai Li. They looked like a group of courtiers paying their respect to a king.

While everyone’s attention was on Bai Li, he merely ignored them. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man draped in a green cloak. “Green Bat King.”

The middle-aged man was the first one to notice and recognize Bai Li. Bai Li looked at him and nodded at him politely.

“Who’s that? How did he catch Lord Bai Li’s attention?”

When the others saw Bai Li’s action, they were surprised and confused.

Most people, including Duan Ling Tian, were stunned when they heard Bai Li addressed the middle-aged man as ‘Green Bat King”.

In just an instant, everyone’s attention s.h.i.+fted toward the middle-aged man who was draped in a green cloak.

The middle-aged man was thin. He was not very tall, and he had a fairly small head. It gave him the appearance of a thief. He had an ethereal and mysterious aura around him.

The first person who regained his senses gulped and said, “I-isn’t h-he Wei Suo, the Green Bat King, one of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas?”

At this time, someone said proudly, “That’s right! He’s the Green Bat King from our Black Kshetra Sect!” This person was an elder from the Black Kshetra Sect.

At this moment, information about Wei Suo, the Green Bat King, one of the Four Great Karmapas from the Black Kshetra Sect appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. ‘Wei Suo, the Green Bat King, is one of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas… He might be the weakest among the four Karmapas, but his cultivation base is at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He’s ranked at the 24th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking!’

Faced with Bai Li, even Wei Suo, one of the Karmapas from Black Kshetra Sect, had to act humbly. He did not dare to offend him. “Lord Bai Li, I didn’t expect to be in the same group as you… This is fate.”

What a joke!

Bai Li was not only a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he was also ranked at the ninth place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. In fact, he was slightly stronger than the Violet Dragon King, the leader of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas.

Among the people in Black Kshetra Sect, only the Sect Leader was stronger than Bai Li! Faced with someone like that, would anyone dare to offend him?

Although both of them had a cultivation base at the Seventh Form Saint Celestial Stage and higher, Wei Suo knew very well he was much weaker compared to Bai Li.

“Hm.” Bai Li nodded coldly. He was indifferent even when faced with Wei Suo who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and a Karmapa of the Black Kshethra Sect.

Wei Suo did not take offense to Bai Li’s behavior at all. After all, most elite powerhouses were prideful.

With how strong Bai Li was, it was good enough that he even acknowledged Wei Suo. Wei Suo knew his place very well.

“I didn’t think I would be so lucky to be in the same group as Lord Bai Li and Lord Wei Suo… With both of them around, it should be easy to pa.s.s the second test, right?” Someone said.

Many people agreed with his words.

Easy?’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head subtly.

According to Zheng Dong Ji, one of the powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation and created this realm, everyone would be divided into three groups. The three groups would be tested separately. The group who failed would die! Only two groups would remain after the second test and proceed to the next test.

“It’s very likely that we’re not randomly a.s.signed to a group. I’m quite certain we’re grouped together so that each group’s combined strength would be equal. Am I right, Elder Huo?” Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo.

Elder Huo quickly responded, “The rules of this pseudo realm are created by the creators… Usually, the group tests would be fair and the combined strength of each group should be about the same.” Elder Huo’s answer confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s speculation.

If they had powerhouses such as Bai Li and Wei Suo in their group, the other two groups must have powerhouses at Bai Li and Wei Suo’s level as well. Therefore, it was too early to tell if their group would be able to easily pa.s.s the test. Since all three groups had about the same combined strength, it was too early to tell who would have the last laugh.
