A piece of news quickly spread throughout Tianyuan Sect.
In the Tianyuan Sect, every disciple's dream is to leave their name on the Heavenly Rankings.
However, it was too difficult. There were only one hundred spots on the Heavenly Rankings, so three hundred Peak Disciple s were unable to accommodate them all.
If he wanted to enter the Heavenly Rankings, he had to at least become a Peak Disciple. To do so, he had to at least have the cultivation at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, and have the strength to rival it.
A cultivation at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, was something that many would find difficult to attain in their entire lifetime, not to mention the fact that they had to fight someone at a higher realm to fight someone at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage.
Most of the elders of the three Outer Sect s only had the strength of the seventh or eighth stage of the Earth Origin Stage.
It would be easy to be ranked on the Heaven Rankings if you became a part of the Revealing Astral Realm Realm, but the difficulty was even higher. Didn't they see that at least half of the people on the Heavenly Rankings were still struggling at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage?
From the peak of the Earth Origin Stage to the Revealing Astral Realm, it only required a single breakthrough, but that was a chasm.
In the center of Inner Sect, there was a jade tablet that was over a hundred feet tall. On it were carved many names, which were the Heavenly Rankings.
At this time, many disciples of Inner Sect were gathered in front of the jade tablet, and were pointing at the name on it and discussing.
Every change in the rankings of the Heavenly Rankings was an extraordinary event to the entire Inner Sect.
When one reached the Heavenly Rankings, every small step forward was extremely difficult. Sometimes, the Heavenly Rankings could not even change once every 10 or 20 years.
"Su Lie?"
"Is there such a person in the top ten of the inner court disciples?"
Many of the people standing in front of the jade monument had expressions of puzzlement on their faces. Many of them had never heard of this person before.
Although Su Lie was quite famous among the new disciples, within the Inner Sect s, most of them were outer court disciples and inner court disciples.
Those new disciples weren't even considered outer court disciples. Three years later, if they didn't have the strength to squeeze into the three thousand outer court disciples, they would have no choice but to leave the sect.
New disciples, to the older disciples of the Inner Sect s, were something that very few people would pay attention to. Only when they truly become outer sect disciples, or even inner sect disciples, would the older disciples recognize their position in the sect.
"This Su Lie is said to be a new disciple!"
Someone who had heard of the rumors said.
"A new disciple can be ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, and he's even ranked twenty-eighth?"
In front of the Heavenly Rankings, there was an uproar.
"He just broke through to the Revealing Astral Realm not too long ago."
The person in front spoke again.
"He broke through to the Revealing Astral Realm Realm after just entering the sect for a year?"
Some people revealed a trace of blankness on their faces.
"Even if he had broken through to the Revealing Astral Realm Realm, he shouldn't be able to be ranked so high. From what I know, Senior Brother Yu, who is ranked 30th, seems to already have a cultivation at the second level of the True Profound Realm."
"I don't know the details …"
At this time, Su Lie had already returned to the Jiumai Peak and was planning on leaving the sect.
Within three days, he had challenged more than twenty matches, and directly entered the top thirty, then twenty-eight. After losing to the twenty-seventh opponent, who was at the third level of the Revealing Astral Realm, he no longer challenged again.
"The true Peak Disciple s are on two completely different levels when compared to the new disciples who are selecting the top three Peak Disciple s."
Su Lie smiled.
At this moment, within his identity jade token, he had gained another 3000 contribution points.
These three thousand achievement points were the rewards given by the sect after he had killed his way into the official Peak Disciple and entered the top thirty of the Heavenly Rankings.
Although it was given only once every five years, it was still much better than the Peak Disciple selection.
If he was able to keep his position in the Peak Disciple later on, he would only get a hundred achievement points every three months, and four hundred every year. In five years, he would only get two thousand achievement points, and he would only get a hundred achievement points every time, which would not be of much use at all.
The reward of three thousand contribution points for this official Peak Disciple was already quite useful. It was enough to exchange for a fourth or fifth rank Earth Realm martial art.
Of course, there were plenty of medicinal pills and spirit stones as well. There were a total of ten of them, as well as several million of them, that could help him break through to the next stage. Although with his current cultivation, these few hundred spirit stones were like a drop in the bucket, but compared to the new disciples, they were much stronger.
For the time being, Su Lie did not plan to use those three thousand contribution points. In the next few days, he was prepared to leave the sect, and even if he exchanged for some martial arts, he would not have enough time to cultivate.
Compared to martial arts, he wished to exchange for a type of Spiritual Being that could condense the last whirlpool of elemental energy.
Last time, he had spent a total of 2500 contribution points and exchanged for a type of Spiritual Being from the Wuhua Pavilion, condensing the Fire Essence Qi Vortex. Now, he only needed the last type of Lightning Attribute Elemental Energy Vortex.
However, lightning-type Spiritual Beings were really too rare and precious. He had already searched through the entire Wuhua Pavilion, but he couldn't find any.
He wanted to wait a little longer and see if there would be any such spiritual objects appearing in the Wuhua Pavilion when he returned to the sect. If that was not possible, he would have to go out and search for them himself.
The reason why Su Lie did not immediately leave the sect was because he wanted to wait for Luo Xiaoyu and see if he could return to the Tianyuan Region with him. After all, the two of them had left from that place, so they could go back together.
Unfortunately, Luo Xiaoyu's current master seemed to be even stricter than the Dayuan Outer Sect's Elder Yuanfen. Although Su Lie had found a chance to notify Luo Xiaoyu during the ranking challenge, until today, there had been no news of Luo Xiaoyu arriving, let alone seeing her in person.
"Ai, he was probably taken away by her master again for seclusion."
Su Lie could not help but shake his head.
His body had become stronger by several fold after going through the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique's tempering. Now that he was able to cultivate the Body Refining Arts much faster, he had been training in the flying technique for the past few days, and was not too far away from breaking through to the second level.
After Su Lie waited for three days, there was still no news from Luo Xiaoyu. He did not wait any longer and packed up a few things before leaving the Jiumai Peak, preparing to leave the sect.
However, not long after he left the Jiumai Peak, he saw a figure flash out from a mountain peak. The two of them only travelled normally and did not think much of it.
"Senior Sister Yu Ling!"
"Su Lie!"
Both of them spoke up at the same time.
Yu Ling's bright eyes slightly turned and her body moved. She arrived beside Su Lie and started sizing him up.
"Where are you going, you bad guy?"
Yu Ling stared into Su Lie's eyes and snorted angrily.
Su Lie couldn't help but shake his head. His eyes swept the surroundings as he said, "Cultivation is too boring, I just want to go out and stroll around. Senior Sister Yu Ling, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
After suffering several times at Yu Ling's hands, the Inner Sect Elders had always been polite to Yu Ling. Su Lie had also stayed far away from her, holding a mentality that he couldn't afford to offend but could still avoid her. He didn't want to have anything to do with Yu Ling.
"Look at your sneaky look, it doesn't seem like it's that simple to walk around."
Yu Ling narrowed her eyes like a little fox.
"I'm sneaking around?"
Su Lie couldn't help but be stunned. "Senior Sister Yu Ling, is that description of yours inaccurate?"
He had no idea where Yu Ling had seen him from.
"Speak. Where are you going? Don't lie to me, otherwise …"
Yu Ling clenched her small hands with a fiendish look on her face.
"I really …"
"Hmm?"
"Alright, I'll tell you then. I'm going to make a trip out of the sect."
Su Lie told the truth.
In any case, it was not a big deal, and the sect didn't prohibit disciples from entering or exiting, so there was nothing for him to feel guilty about.
"Sect of Li, where are you going?"
Yu Ling asked ferociously.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to report this, do you?"
"Hmm?"
"I took a mission from the sect, the Li sect went to complete it."
Su Lie became listless. Yu Ling's curiosity was too strong.
However, Su Lie did not lie. He had to return to the Tianyuan Region anyway, so he accepted all the missions in the Tianyuan Region's Mission Hall.
There were no restrictions on the Hall of Missions accepting missions. However, failure or failure to complete a mission would result in a deduction of the same amount of achievement points as the mission reward. If one was not confident, no one would dare to accept the task carelessly.
With Su Lie's current cultivation, he could easily complete a few of the Tianyuan Region's missions. It was just that the achievement points rewarded were not many, but it was still better than nothing. In any case, if he were to make a trip, he would be able to earn a little bit.
"Go there. What mission?"
Yu Ling did not hold back in the slightest as she went all out to get to the bottom of things.
"Senior sister, you must also …"
"Hmm?"
"Alright, I will speak, Tianyuan Region!"
Su Lie had no other choice. This little girl could not afford to offend him.
From her unbridled gaze, it could be seen that this little girl was not someone who would abide by the rules. What could she possibly do?
"Tianyuan Region?"
The little girl rolled her eyes and smiled, "I'll go with you. Half the rewards will be given to me."
"Ah …"
Su Lie's entire face collapsed.
"Senior Sister, in total, these three missions only have a few hundred contribution points. Senior Sister, do you have any interest in them?"
Su Lie made his final struggle.
"I know!"
The little girl had already left.
"You still want to go?"
Su Lie could not help but be speechless.
"It's precisely because I know that the Tianyuan Region's missions have very few rewards, so I'm certain that you're planning something bad. I'll have to supervise you and not let you lose face for the sect."
Yu Ling said righteously.
Secretly, she twitched her mouth. Since you've run so far, with your current cultivation, how could you care about something like this? It'd be weird if there weren't any ghosts amongst them.
If there were benefits, he wouldn't bring me along. There was no way!
What was going on?
Su Lie was stunned on the spot.
"Senior sister, your status is very high. If you leave the sect, what harm will happen to you outside? I can't take on this responsibility. Do you want to go back and discuss it with the sect elders?"
Su Lie chased after him and said pitifully.
"No need!"
Yu Ling waved her hand and was extremely generous.
