Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 306 The Prodigies of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion

Second on the list is Pei Ziyan, the Holy Maiden of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect, who also possesses the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.

She has cultivated the Nine Nether Demon Art to the sixth level of perfection, and is skilled in using a variety of weapons, among which the long whip and sword are the most commonly used.

Pei Ziyan is exceptionally talented and can be considered a leader among her peers!

Six months ago, she fought against a powerful expert at the mid-stage of the first level of the King Realm and successfully destroyed his soul and spirit!

In no time, rumors spread that she was even more terrifying than Chu Xinghan!

However, since the two have never faced off, the veracity of this rumor remains to be verified.

The third-ranked demon is "Wuzhiqi" from the Heavenly Demon Palace, whose real name is Litianxing.

He was also at the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, possessing immense strength and unparalleled physical defense...

Two years ago, Li Tianxing tore apart a cultivator at the early stage of the first level of the King Realm with his bare hands.

Although he had never fought against a mid-stage King Realm expert, that was his record from two years ago.

No one knows exactly how much his strength has improved.

But without a doubt, he must be extremely powerful, and his strength is by no means inferior to Chu Xinghan and Pei Ziyan.

........

Besides these three top prodigies, from the fourth-ranked Xuandao Sect's new Daoist disciple 'Kan Wushuang' to the tenth-ranked Su family's 'Su Haoran', each of them possesses astonishingly terrifying abilities.

They have consistently occupied the top ten positions on the list for many years with very few changes.

Besides these ten most dazzling prodigies, the rankings of the other members on the list often fluctuate due to changes in their strength.

The strong advance, the weak fall – this is the most basic rule of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's Prodigy Ranking!

According to the booklet, any genius who makes it onto this list of prodigies will not only gain great fame, but will also have the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for cultivation.

It's important to understand that not every prodigy on the list has a thousand-year-old family or a top-tier power as a solid backing.

Especially the cultivators from the four continents who made the list, they all longed to step into the gates of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion...

However, the threshold for entering the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is extremely high. The minimum requirement to enter and cultivate there is to be ranked in the top fifty of the Prodigy Ranking. Otherwise, it's out of the question!

While browsing the list, Li Qingyuan was surprised to find that there were two people from the Canglan Continent on the list as well.

One of them is Yang Zhengyu, the crown prince of the Tianwu Dynasty, whose cultivation level is mid-stage of the seventh level of the Tiangang Realm, ranking eighty-fifth on the list.

The other person was a rogue cultivator named Qi Heng, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and who ranked thirty-third.

Upon seeing Yang Zhengyu's name, a murderous intent flashed through Li Qingyuan's mind, and he immediately added him to his kill list!

........

However, he was more curious about this rogue cultivator named Qi Heng.

How could a rogue cultivator from the Canglan Continent manage to secure a place on the Central Plains Prodigy Ranking, a list teeming with experts? What kind of background does he have?

Li Qingyuan suddenly remembered that Ren Yuxuan had once said that there were three Huangtian Realm experts on the Canglan Continent.

One was the retired emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty, another was Elder Hua, and the third was a rogue cultivator.

Li Qingyuan secretly wondered if Qi Heng was the closed-door disciple of that mysterious rogue cultivator.

This is highly likely. Otherwise, given his status as a rogue cultivator, how could he have reached such a level without guidance from a master?!

The more Li Qingyuan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. As she looked at it, she became so engrossed that she completely forgot about the passage of time.

Seeing Li Qingyuan's enthusiastic expression and burning gaze...

Yue Qinghuan then realized that he longed to compete with other geniuses!

But she couldn't help but whisper a word of advice:

"You must be very careful, every cultivator who makes it onto the list of prodigies is no ordinary person."

"Especially those monsters in the top ten... Be extremely cautious when fighting them!"

"Ok!"

Li Qingyuan nodded emphatically, her eyes revealing determination and expectation.

"If given the chance, I might consider fighting them..."

Seeing his belligerent appearance, Yue Qinghuan's incomparably beautiful face revealed a charming smile, like a blooming flower in spring, which was extremely beautiful.

"However, this list of prodigies only includes cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm..."

"Shouldn't there be a separate list for those experts above the King Realm?"

After Li Qingyuan put the 'Ranking of Prodigies' booklet into his spatial ring, he suddenly thought of this question and asked it.

"That's natural."

Yue Qinghuan nodded slightly, "However, you shouldn't be too ambitious right now. The geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking are enough to give you a hard time..."

Li Qingyuan naturally understood this principle. He was just asking casually, but he was also clear about his current strength and position.

Seeing that Yue Qinghuan had no other important matters to discuss, Li Qingyuan immediately got up, preparing to take his leave.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan was about to leave, Yue Qinghuan became anxious and quickly asked:

Where are you going?

Li Qingyuan paused, turning back to look at her with a puzzled expression.

Where could he go? Home, of course...

Seeing this, Yue Qinghuan spoke very quickly:

"I... I think there are plenty of rooms here, so you might as well stay at the Treasure Pavilion."

"That way, if we get any news about the antidote or the necessary ingredients, we can set off immediately..."

Li Qingyuan was slightly taken aback after hearing this, but felt that what Yue Qinghuan said made sense. Unable to refuse her kind offer, he could only nod and accept.

Upon arriving outside the hall, Li Qingyuan greeted the old ox that was leisurely strolling around.

He then found a quiet, secluded room in the Treasure Pavilion and began his secluded cultivation.

When the old ox heard that Li Qingyuan was going into seclusion, he was overjoyed.

For him, Li Qingyuan's seclusion was a great thing, as it allowed him to roam freely and play around.

Thinking this, the old ox hummed an unknown little tune and trotted happily toward the back garden of the Treasure Pavilion...
