On the dragon soaring rankings!
The rankings are from top to bottom!
First Place: Jiang Zixuan!
Second Place: Qu Chengzhu.
Third Place: Wu Yuyan!
Fourth Place: Wang Dun.
Fifth Place: ……
Wait a moment…
He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved his gaze upwards again.
Fourth Place: Wang Dun!
This name sounds a bit familiar!
Back when he was in the Tai Xu Sect's Lingyao Valley, there was a Senior Brother named Wang Dun.
Wang Dun had once lent him a few Spirit Stones and used a small Pill Furnace as collateral. Later, before he could return the Spirit Stones to He Pingsheng, that fellow was killed by an Inner Sect Disciple.
Moreover, this Inner Sect Disciple was a Disciple of Xiuzhu Peak.
He Pingsheng didn't investigate whether it was Linglong later, so he didn't know.
“So it’s just a person with the same name…” He Pingsheng shook his head and continued to look down.
This stone tablet recorded a total of three hundred names.
In other words, these people were the top three hundred Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in the entire Dingxiang City.
The difference was that the feng ming list had one thousand names!
“Oh my god, the dragon soaring rankings have changed so much this year!”
“Yes, the competition is very fierce; people are fighting every day now!”
“It’s a pity, this Wang Dun is very powerful. He originally had a chance to compete with Jiang Zixuan, but because he didn’t have time to challenge Jiang Zixuan, he only got fourth place!”
“He’ll be able to reach the top in the second half of the year!”
“Is he that powerful?”
“Yes, he’s very powerful. I’ve seen his matches. When he fought for fourth place, he finished it with one punch!”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
“They are all top-tier Foundation Establishment Stage, yet he can still win in seconds?”
“Terrifying!”
“You’ll see, this year’s competition will be even more intense, and it might even result in deaths!”
Someone asked, “Why?”
That person replied, “Think about it, Divine General Mountain will open in two years. At that time, the selection of Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples will definitely be chosen from this list!”
“Everyone wants to go, and the Prodigies from various major forces around Dingxiang City will also arrive then. How can it not be fierce?”
“Right, right, right, I actually forgot about this!”
“Hiss, hiss… That will be a bloody storm!”
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, He Pingsheng’s brows also furrowed: Divine General Mountain?
What kind of place was that?
Was it similar to the Secret Realm of the Cultivation Alliance?
He Pingsheng was completely ignorant of these things.
The key was that it wasn't appropriate to ask others here.
He Pingsheng shook his head: Never mind, I'll just go ask that Xuan Yuan fellow at his Alchemy shop later.
After looking for a few moments, He Pingsheng left and headed directly to the Coral Merchant Guild.
… …
“No problem!”
Inside the Coral Merchant Guild, the Elder behind the counter on the first floor returned the black token to He Pingsheng and said, “The Xuan Yuan family’s token can naturally grant entry to this auction!”
“However, the next auction will be in ten days!”
“Come back then!”
“Oh, by the way, the items for auction this time are quite abundant!” The shopkeeper looked at He Pingsheng with a smile: “Fellow Daoist can prepare more Spirit Stones or other Heaven And Earth Treasure, otherwise, you might return empty-handed!”
He Pingsheng did not respond, only cupped his hands in salute, then left.
After wandering around the city for a while, He Pingsheng arrived at the Xuan Yuan Alchemy shop.
“Hey… Fellow Daoist He?”
“Why are you here?”
“You didn’t go into seclusion!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng was quite surprised.
He Pingsheng walked into the shop and said, “Just wandering around… I just went to the City Lord’s Mansion and found that the feng ming and dragon soaring rankings have been updated, so I went to check them out!”
He Pingsheng had also looked carefully before.
Neither Bailong, Zi Xian, nor Xuan Yuan were on the list.
“You’re still interested in this thing?” Xuan Yuan finished speaking, then shook his head and said, “It’s useless, useless. You can’t get on that thing. This old man is now a Foundation Establishment stage twelve layer Cultivator, only one step away from forming a Golden Core!”
“Moreover, I dare not say my combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people, but I can easily defeat ordinary Cultivators of the same Realm!”
“Unfortunately, I tried my best to compete for a ranking, and the best I ever got was only four hundred and forty-fourth place!”
“Now I haven’t paid attention, but I estimate I’ve already fallen below a thousand, let alone the top three hundred!”
He Pingsheng said, “I’ve heard about that too. I came here to ask you a question!”
“Oh?” Xuan Yuan said, “I wouldn’t dare accept your deference. Tell me what you don’t understand, and as long as I know, I will certainly tell you everything!”
“Thank you!” The two sat down as they spoke, and He Pingsheng said, “I heard that the rankings on this dragon soaring rankings are related to the selection for something called 【Divine General Mountain】!”
“I want to ask, what kind of place is this Divine General Mountain?”
“Heh!” Xuan Yuan said, “So you were just asking about this? I thought it was something else!”
“Divine General Mountain is a mountain… it’s very large, surrounded by hundreds of smaller mountains, and this place is not in our Dingxiang County!”
Xuan Yuan explained in detail, describing Divine General Mountain to He Pingsheng one by one.
It turned out that Divine General Mountain was a divine mountain located in Shangdang County of the Great Qi Kingdom.
There was a huge Spiritual Vein on the mountain itself, so it produced many Heaven And Earth Treasure, making it a highly coveted treasure-hunting and adventure ground for countless low-level Cultivators.
However, this mountain was controlled by the Great Qi Dynasty, who had drawn a huge Formation around it. The grand Formation had covered the divine mountain for countless years, prohibiting ordinary Cultivators from entering.
But every hundred years, Divine General Mountain would open once, allowing Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples to enter it to search for treasures.
Of course, even if there were some Heaven And Earth Treasure on Divine General Mountain, they were only ordinary items, and there wasn't anything too special about them.
The reason countless people flocked to it was still because there was a Sharp Weapon on this divine mountain.
It was a spear.
To be precise, it was an ancient spear.
This spear was used by the founding Divine General of Great Qi. Although its owner had fallen countless years ago, the Battle Intent and Spear Intent on the spear still remained.
Almost all Cultivators who entered Divine General Mountain went for the Spear Intent.
Being able to comprehend even a tiny bit would be of Wuqiong benefit.
“So that’s how it is?” He Pingsheng nodded and said, “I understand!”
“Senior Brother Xuan Yuan, I heard that Divine General Mountain is about to open. Aren’t you going?” He asked Xuan Yuan.
Xuan Yuan gave a self-deprecating smile and said, “My good brother, you’re thinking too much!”
“With my abilities, I can’t even get on that dragon soaring rankings!”
“Besides, even if I made it onto the dragon soaring rankings, I might not necessarily be able to go!”
He Pingsheng asked, “Why?”
Xuan Yuan said, “First, it is said that to go to Divine General Mountain, each small county only has one hundred spots. Our Dingxiang County is just a small county, so only the top one hundred Cultivators on the dragon soaring rankings can get an entry ticket!”
“Secondly, in addition to getting an entry ticket, one must also undergo a test from the City Lord’s Mansion!”
“Only if you pass this test can you go; if you don’t pass, you still can’t go!”
“I have even less hope!”
