Chapter 849: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle
The Divine Fire Hall was incomparably vast, with over nine thousand at Semi Divine Level and more than a hundred each at Flying Heaven Level as reserve members, broadly divided into two camps, yet it did not feel crowded.
The gathering place for Flying Heaven Level members, compared with five years ago, had significantly decreased in number, with only about one hundred and twenty remaining.
“Many people have broken through.”
“Even Qi Xia and Pang Ting, the two Saint Heirs, broke through several years ago.”
“Their breakthrough is normal; they have been cultivating in Jue Xing Ancient City for over twenty years, it’s about time for them to break through.” various Flying Heaven Level members talked among themselves.
This had already become a common practice.
Firstly, the lifespan of those at Semi Divine Flying Heaven is limited, cultivating at Semi Divine Level advances much faster, hence it is not advisable to delay too long at Flying Heaven Level.
Secondly, Jue Xing Ancient City provides many auxiliary cultivation treasures like Chiling Liuhuo Liquid, available for a maximum of 25 years, and the number of trial tasks that Flying Heaven Level can undertake also has a limit.
For many reasons, Flying Heaven Level reserve members usually only cultivate in Jue Xing Ancient City for 20-30 years before successively becoming Semi Divine.
“Two Saint Heir positions are now vacant! This is our chance!”
“Yes, the First Saint Heir definitely has no chance, that’s destined for Xu Yuan, but the second and third Saint Heirs, we’ll have to fight for it.” some of the stronger Flying Heaven Level members all held this desire.
The First Saint Heir? They dared not even think about it.
But if they could successfully challenge for a Saint Heir position, even just for the second or third, they could still obtain a vast amount of cultivation resources.
“Do you think Xu Yuan will break through to Semi-Divine?”
“I saw him half a year ago; he was still at Flying Heaven.”
“He is just over thirty years old, so young, probably needs another twenty years… Xu Yuan is here! Wait, he has become Semi-Divine.”
“Xu Yuan actually became Semi-Divine?”
“Xu Yuan is here.” Not just those hundred plus Flying Heaven realms, but also the nine thousand plus Semi Divines quickly turned their gaze to the black-robed figure flying into the hall.
His aura was robust, clearly having become Semi-Divine.
“Xu Yuan, became Semi-Divine?” The Vice Hall Master ‘Moon Ji True God’ also paused upon seeing Li Yuan for the first time.
Moon Yi True God knew Li Yuan held a special status, not comparable to ordinary Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.
But his reaction was also very quick, transmitting directly: “Xu Yuan, since you have ascended to Semi-Divine, wait by Yue Shan’s side.”
“Yes.” Li Yuan responded and directly flew towards the front of the Semi-Divine group.
“Brother Xu Yuan.” Many Semi-Divines also transmitted to Li Yuan, most of them from Abyss Country… after all, Li Yuan had spent most of the past five years cultivating alone, rarely making connections with Semi-Divines from other countries.
“Brother Bai Li, keep fighting.”
“Brother Beihong.” Li Yuan nodded in response to each greeting.
Even when Wu Beihong greeted him, Li Yuan didn’t show a cold face, since the other party only had issues with Jiang Shan and had not offended Li Yuan directly.
In the end, Li Yuan reached the front of the Semi-Divine group, looking around, most of the gathered here were geniuses ranked high on the Semi-Divine List, including those dozen or so Saint Heirs, all present here.
Strength determined one’s position.
The burly Yue Shan strode over, his face showing disbelief: “How did you manage to break through so quickly? You completely could have waited until after the ranking battle to break through.”
“I felt I could break through, so I did.” Li Yuan smiled: “Didn’t want to delay too long.”
“It’s different! If you had broken through to Semi-Divine after the battle, you would still enjoy the Saint Heir treatment.” Yue Shan couldn’t help but say: “But now that you are Semi-Divine, you must meet the ‘Saint Heir requirements’ in the ranking battle, otherwise you will immediately lose the Saint Heir treatment.”
“I know.” Li Yuan smiled.
This was the rule of the Divine Fire Hall, hence, the vast majority of Flying Heaven Saint Heirs, after becoming Semi-Divine, would lose their Saint Heir status… and even ultimately be unable to regain it.
After all, the competition for Semi-Divine Saint Heirs is much more intense than that for Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.
“You know and still did this?” Yue Shan said helplessly: “If you had cultivated for another five years and then fought, your chances would definitely have been much greater, at least your Origin Power Cultivation could have reached level 47 or higher… The rewards for your first participation in the Semi-Divine ranking battle are the most astonishing.”
Yue Shan felt somewhat regretful.
In Yue Shan’s view, even though Li Yuan had exceptional talent, it was impossible to catch up with the efforts of other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs over hundreds of years so quickly… Not to mention other aspects, just the Origin Power Cultivation alone would be much lower.
After all, even with Eight Star Veins, one typically only reaches level 44 upon initial breakthrough.
What about the Semi-Divine reserve members present? Almost half had already awakened Seven Star Veins.
“Brother Yue Shan, don’t worry, my ranking shouldn’t be too bad.” Li Yuan smiled.
He knew Yue Shan cared about him.
“Not too bad? Even if you manage to break into the top three hundred, the difference from a Semi-Divine Saint Heir’s treatment would still be vast, not to mention you just broke through, how tough it is to break into the top three hundred…”
