Immortal Martial Realm Ranking

Immortal Martial Realm Ranking

The utterance of "Di Shi" seemed to trigger a collective physical reaction among the experts from the supreme Di Clan. Their faces flushed crimson, their emotions running high. Why had they all gathered here in the first place? It was undeniably to witness their clan's Heaven Chosen, Di Shi, achieve a prestigious ranking. However, today had brought a disheartening revelation. Not only had Di Shi failed to secure a favorable ranking, but he had also been expelled from the top ten. The gazes fixed upon them, along with the hushed murmurs of the surrounding crowd, magnified the despair and disappointment gnawing at their hearts.

Unbeknownst to them, within the confines of the Immortal Martial Realm, Di Shi could keenly discern the expressions on their faces and observe their reactions. He, too, was submerged in profound misery, and his animosity toward Qin Wentian deepened.

"Di Shi has been ousted from the top ten and is ranked #11? That means, aside from the other seven era-suppressing geniuses, there must be three more who secured a top-ten position. But who could they be?" Speculations and names raced through the minds of the onlookers. With seven of the eight era-suppressing geniuses accounted for, three mysterious participants remained.

The lips of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness curled into a proud smile as she whispered, "Bingyu, you truly haven't let me down."

It was now abundantly clear that Lou Bingyu had claimed a spot within the top ten rankings.

"Oh, indeed, the disciple of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, Lou Bingyu, must have made it into the top ten." The Sword Sovereigness's words ignited a commotion. Who would have imagined that Lou Bingyu possessed such formidable strength?

"HAHAHA, my disciple Si Ling, you truly are your master's favorite." Not far away, an exuberant member of the Violet Thunder Sect burst into raucous laughter, causing some spectators to shiver. This individual's enthusiasm might have been excessive, employing the term 'favorite disciple' that sent shivers down the spines of onlookers. However, his jubilation was justified; the honor of entering the top ten ranks of the Immortal Martial Realm was indeed a remarkable achievement.

Si Ling's name had appeared on the ranking monument earlier but had yet to be revealed. Clearly, he, too, secured a place within the top ten ranks.

Both Lou Bingyu and Si Ling had surpassed Di Shi in the rankings.

"Si Ling, the chosen one of our Si Clan," declared the Si Clan experts, who had also arrived. They drew deep breaths, their heads held high as they gazed at the heavens. Even Grand Shang's crown prince, Shang Tong, had failed to achieve this feat, while the number one genius of their Si Clan had succeeded.

Mo Qingcheng's face, now displaying traces of excitement alongside her nervousness, drew the attention of the crowd. Most had already forgotten that Qin Wentian's name had yet to appear, but not Mo Qingcheng. The name she anxiously awaited was none other than Qin Wentian's.

The Medicine Sovereign turned his gaze to Mo Qingcheng, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. He whispered, "What's this? Are you happy that your little boyfriend managed to secure a spot in the top ten?"

Mo Qingcheng met her master's gaze, her clenched fists trembling slightly as she nodded earnestly. Her demeanor exuded a sense of wisdom and determination, radiating a profound happiness. She was undeniably thrilled.

The onlookers from the Medicine Sovereign Valley were left stunned. They had momentarily forgotten that Qin Wentian's name had yet to be announced.

"Next, the names of the top ten should be revealed shortly." The crowd's hearts brimmed with anticipation, yet, curiously, the names of the top ten participants had still not been unveiled.

Unbeknownst to them, within the realm of the ranking monument, Realmlord Wu Mu couldn't help but chuckle at the agitated and expectant expressions of the crowd. Were they truly this eager to learn the identities of the top ten rankers?

"To engrave the names of the top ten rankers, return tomorrow at this time," Wu Mu grinned mischievously, relishing in the satisfaction of keeping the outside world waiting. He deliberately heightened their anticipation, wanting them to fully grasp the significance of the Immortal Martial Realm rankings and become even more excited.

The words uttered by Wu Mu left the entire banquet hall in a state of stunned silence. They exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to react to this peculiar turn of events. But since Wu Mu had already made his pronouncement, they could do nothing but muster wry smiles and continue their indulgence in the sumptuous feast. Their bodies, nourished by the exquisite food, were undergoing a constant transformation, and Qin Wentian felt as if he were drifting into a half-dream state. He sensed that his perception and connection with the constellations were growing increasingly robust. The inscriptions on the astral stone walls within the ranking monument's inner space now appeared a tad clearer than before.

"This banquet is indeed a remarkable source of nourishment," Qin Wentian pondered silently. He had a strong sense that even if he were to do nothing but indulge in this lavish feast for seven full days and nights, there was a high likelihood that he would break through to the seventh level of cultivation. Unfortunately, after only half a day, he found himself unable to consume any more. He was completely intoxicated, as were all the other participants. Wu Mu's earlier directive, "Eat and drink to your heart's content," had deepened their understanding. They had to push themselves to consume even more, and so they continued to stuff themselves, eating beyond their limits and drinking until they were filled to the brim.

As the hours passed, the participants became increasingly lethargic, and on the second day, they awoke to find themselves sprawled across the banquet tables and floor, still in the midst of their food-induced slumber.

To Qin Wentian's discomfort, he awoke to find Lin Xian'er's peaceful sleeping face mere inches from his own, her enchanting fragrance filling the air, captivating him completely. She was an irresistible temptation. To compound his awkwardness, Lou Bingyu lay beside him, her arms encircling his neck. Qin Wentian gingerly moved Lou Bingyu's alabaster arms aside and took a deep breath in an effort to regain his composure. After standing up, he noticed Wu Mu staring at him with a smile that seemed to convey an unspoken message.

"Senior, that wine was quite potent," Qin Wentian replied awkwardly.

"Yes, it certainly was. If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen to wake up so early," Wu Mu continued to fix Qin Wentian with that enigmatic smile, making Qin Wentian feel increasingly uncomfortable. The scene was so awkward that it even caused Wu Mu to burst into unrestrained laughter.

Unbeknownst to Qin Wentian, Lou Bingyu's ice-cold face concealed the fluttering of her eyelids. Her body was ablaze with heat, her cheeks burning. She had already awakened when Qin Wentian moved her arms aside, but embarrassment prevented her from revealing her wakefulness. She had no idea what she had done while drunk, and the thought of all the possibilities caused her heart to race. She was determined to avoid consuming any more wine from this place.

Qin Wentian took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward Mo Qingcheng's flawless countenance. She was still gazing anxiously at the ranking monument, her eyes filled with worry and apprehension. Qin Wentian chastised himself; Qingcheng had been waiting for him outside this entire time. Most likely, since his entry into the Immortal Martial Realm, Mo Qingcheng had been consumed by anxiety and concern. This realization filled Qin Wentian's eyes with tenderness, and a radiant smile graced his face.

As Lin Xian'er awoke, the first thing she saw was Qin Wentian's warm smile. She couldn't help but marvel at the gentle side of this once-unrivaled young man in the Immortal Martial Realm. Lin Xian'er sat up and followed Qin Wentian's gaze, her eyes landing on Mo Qingcheng, whose beauty rivaled her own. A woman like Mo Qingcheng would capture attention wherever she went.

One by one, the other participants awoke, now fully aware of the transformative power of the previous night's banquet. They felt that their cultivation had progressed, bringing them closer to the next level. After all, immortals were immortals. Although these participants hailed from major powers, they couldn't afford to host such extravagant feasts daily. If they could indulge in such efficacious delicacies every day, their cultivation speeds would undoubtedly skyrocket.

"Prepare to inscribe the names," Wu Mu casually announced.

Outside the Immortal Martial Realm, the spectators were already in a frenzy, speculating fervently about the identities of the top ten rankers.

By this point, they had deduced the names of the ten participants yet to be revealed. Even Qin Wentian's name had been mentioned, causing many to sigh in disbelief. Who would have thought that Di Shi would be ranked #11, while Qin Wentian managed to secure a place in the top ten? The shock was palpable.

"Qin Wentian should be #10, right?" Speculations abounded.

Then, a brilliant light emanated from the ranking monument, and several characters gleamed with golden radiance as they appeared. This was the special treatment reserved for the top ten rankers.

"It's Si Ling, #10 in the Immortal Martial Realm, Si Ling!" The crowd was taken aback. They had initially assumed that Qin Wentian had a higher chance of securing the tenth spot.

The faces of those from the Violet Thunder Sect contorted with displeasure. Ranked only #10? This meant that the Battle Sword Sect had not one, not two, but three Chosen ranked within the top ten.

"The ninth ranking must be Qin Wentian, right?" someone speculated as another radiant name appeared.

Lou Bingyu.

Lou Bingyu, representing the Battle Sword Sect, secured the ninth spot in the Immortal Martial Realm.

"The Battle Sword Sect has three members in the top ten ranks. How powerful are they? Since Lou Bingyu is #9, Qin Wentian should be #8, right? I wonder what rank Ji Feixue holds, as he is the strongest among them," someone pondered.

The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness's eyes gleamed with a hint of sharpness. Could it be that Lou Bingyu had ultimately failed to surpass Ji Feixue?

Moreover, the young man who had once "threatened" her back in ancient Ye had yet to make an appearance.

"Chi Lian, #8!" The crowd exclaimed in shock as the name of Chi Lian, a disciple of the Blood Devil Palace and a descendant of the Chi Clan, appeared. He was undeniably powerful, but was eighth place all he could achieve?

"Fan Miaoyu, #7," another name emerged. She was the only female among the eight era-suppressing geniuses. Yet, despite her remarkable talents, she was only ranked seventh. This left some experts from the Forgotten Immortal Tower feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Ji Feixue. Ji Feixue of the Battle Sword Sect is #6," the ranking monument revealed.

"How can this be? Both Lou Bingyu and Ji Feixue from the Battle Sword Sect have appeared, but where is Qin Wentian? Could there be a mistake? Has he already been eliminated, and there's an error in the rankings?" Suspicion grew among the spectators. They couldn't fathom how Qin Wentian could make it to the top four.

"Li Tian! #4 is Li Tian!" The crowd exclaimed when they saw the ranking. Now, only the top three would remain a mystery.

"Indeed, Gu Liufeng doesn't disappoint; he's as dazzling as ever. And it's remarkable that the mysterious Hua Taixu has reached the top three alongside Gu Liufeng. But who could the last person be? Were some participants' names accidentally omitted?"

Although Qin Wentian had gained some fame, his status paled in comparison to the eight era-suppressing geniuses. The spectators found it more plausible to believe in an error than to think Qin Wentian was among the top three. It simply seemed inconceivable.

Mo Qingcheng's face flushed, her heart racing as though it might burst from her chest. She had worried about how to face her master, but now, with a high chance that Qin Wentian would be ranked among the top three, she felt relieved. Surely her master wouldn't have any issues with Qin Wentian now, right?

Suddenly, a radiant light burst from the ranking monument. In the second row, two names appeared side by side: Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu.

For the battle to determine the top three, Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu were ranked together?

"Who is the number one ranker?" The spectators' hearts pounded with anticipation. Gu Liufeng was not ranked first.

Even the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness frowned. She didn't think it was likely that Qin Wentian would secure the top spot.

Yet, in that moment, the most brilliant and intense light emanated from the ranking monument. At the topmost row, three gigantic characters shimmering with golden light appeared, creating a thunderous impact that resonated in the hearts of the spectators on an incomprehensible scale.

The number one in the Immortal Martial Realm was none other than Qin Wentian!
