Chapter 1312: Chapter 295: Ascension Platform
Whoosh!
In the Desolate Domain, a silhouette shot out.
It was close to the end now, and on the open ground in front of the Desolate Domain, disciples from various sects gathered.
High in the sky, Chu Xiangtian rode the Ancestor Dragon, standing proudly in the air. Behind him, hidden in the clouds, the figures of other princes and princesses were faintly visible, like illusions. These figures, though only hazy outlines akin to silhouettes, exuded an aura of unparalleled elegance and nobility that could only be admired from afar.
Everyone was waiting for time to run out, with only one hour left.
Zhang Xuanyu emerged from the Desolate Domain, his robe covered in cracks, with torn cuffs and blood stains on his back and other places, looking rather battered.
After enduring two days in the Twelfth Desolate Domain, he was close to his limit.
However, this challenge was not without benefits. There, he engaged in exchanges and clashes with the Original Immortal Technique and other Immortal Path Laws, gaining considerable rewards. Afterward, when he went into seclusion again, his strength would experience slight progress.
“It’s about to end…”
The Artifact Soul within the Jade Pendant in Zhang Xuanyu’s arms helped him keep track of time, and there was less than one hour left until the end.
He looked at the teeming crowd outside, hearing the familiar yet noisy voices, suddenly returning from the edge of life and death to this place, feeling an indescribable relief.
He exhaled lightly and looked up towards the Immortal Monument.
His gaze locked directly on the tenth place.
Nine Nine… Six?
Zhang Xuanyu was dumbfounded, the slight relief on his face instantly froze, his eyes widened slightly, incredulous.
He had used a secret technique to sever an Immortal Bone buried within him, buying one more day, and, added to the Immortal Path Laws he had cultivated through the sect and his opportunities and inheritances, burned through everything, yet he still hadn’t clawed his way back to tenth?
Could it be that the top ten were already in the territory of the Thirteenth Desolate Domain?!
He stared blankly at the ranking, somewhat lost, feeling a sense of decadent frustration, mixed with a bit of confusion.
He asked himself, in the Twelfth Desolate Domain, reaching this level was already close to his limit.
Unless the opponent was at the Third Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm!
Excluding Tian Hongyi, Xing Lan, Boya Xuejian… Zhang Xuanyu’s gaze slowly swept towards other Heavenly Sects; ascension to the Immortal Monarch Realm within three thousand years of soul life was a rare and peerless genius, let alone reaching the Third Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, which was almost scarce. Yet in Yan and Chu, there were ten?
In Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, one out of a thousand cities could give birth to one…
The light in Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes dimmed, turning into bitterness, and he bowed his head.
At this time, several figures arrived swiftly.
“Senior Brother!”
“Xuanyu!”
“Junior Brother!”
Fellow sect members rushed over. Ever since Zhang Xuanyu ventured into the Desolate Domain again, news had spread within the sect, with others also paying attention, as this concerned the entire sect’s honor or disgrace.
At this moment, several Elders among them raised their heads to look at the Immortal Monument, only to see Zhang Xuanyu’s rank unmoved.
Two days passed, yet he hadn’t reclaimed his position. It was evident that the one ranked tenth was somewhat beyond imagination!
“Xuanyu, don’t think too much about it; you’ve already tried your best!”
Beside him, Xinyu, a stunning beauty with a gentle temperament and surrounded by a vague immortal power, softly said, her eyes showing a trace of reluctance and regret.
At this point, being annoyed and resentful was useless; there was nothing to do but accept it.
“I’m curious to see who exactly is in tenth place. I know the prodigies from other Heavenly Second Sects, but their ranks don’t seem to be among them.”
“Unless they have hidden figures, intending to challenge the position of the Tianyi Sect? Hmph!”
“Only one hour remains before His Majesty arrives, and it will all be revealed, so let’s see who it is!”
The other Elders had eyes filled with coldness; even a single rank difference resulted in two different outcomes.
If Zhang Xuanyu could enter the top ten, having two prodigies in the top ten from one sect would make them renowned across the Yan Chu Nine Thousand Immortal Cities!
Even the lofty Imperial Family would have to take a glance.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk once we return.”
Cui Yuesheng said, turning to lead the disciples back.
On the giant sword, Lin Qingyue, dressed in green, stood at the edge. Seeing the disciples gathering, she knew that Senior Brother Zhang was an extremely formidable person, but now he had emerged, and the ranking on the Immortal Monument hadn’t changed. A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips, and her tension slowly eased.
Subsequently, her gaze turned towards the Great Dream Nine Abysses, where a crowd was gathered, with a slight ruckus of cheers. A smile appeared in her clear eyes.
That young man always managed to bring her surprises, like a bright pearl, dazzling and radiant.
“It’s a pity for Xuanyu; if his Water Dao Origin were half as strong as Boya Xuejian’s, he could easily reach tenth place.”
At this moment, a steady voice descended, and Tian Hongyi, clad in snow-white robes, had somehow arrived behind Lin Qingyue, speaking calmly.
Lin Qingyue retracted her gaze, her eyes involuntarily looking towards another direction of the Bamboo Rain Pavilion.
Lately, the name most frequently mentioned by her master and other senior and junior brothers was that of a Chaos Creature, born with unparalleled talent, which even suppressed the Imperial Family.
She shook her head slightly, not responding or inquiring further.
Tian Hongyi saw that the woman seemed uninterested in the topic he introduced, and couldn’t help frowning slightly, saying:
“In seven years, with your progress speed, you’ll have the chance to make a name for yourself at the Southern Domain’s Battle. Sooner or later, you will encounter Boya Xuejian and enter our circles. Aren’t you even a bit curious?”
Lin Qingyue’s eyes looked into the distance, calmly saying:
