Chapter 897: Chapter 5 Latest Rankings [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Golden Monkey Wine": After drinking, it permanently enhances the physical body’s sensitivity, allowing for more flexible and swift short-distance movements. However, due to the excessive speed, extra care must be taken for safety.

After a series of rewards.

Looking at the old wine burst out by the Sharp Clawed Demon Monkey, Chu Liang didn’t say much and directly guzzled it down. Now he had no safety concerns about the items provided by the White Pagoda, only the strength of the effects mattered.

The speed of cultivators generally comes in two types: one is for long distance hustling such as Vertical Golden Light and Shattered Void, designed to enhance this aspect; the other is for flexible short-range maneuvering, which is more practical in combat.

With a slight leap, Chu Liang shimmered in golden light, his body swiftly moving from one corner of the chamber to another, crossing dozens of feet in an instant, nearly comparable to Shrinkage. Its speed exceeded expectations, and he slightly stumbled, almost crashing into the wall.

"Not bad," he smiled in satisfaction.

If there isn’t a matching level of control ability and a tough physical body with the speed, pure swiftness is indeed a risky affair. Not to mention the tearing caused by high-speed movement, mere lack of Divine Sense strength causing control loss could be particularly troublesome.

Fortunately, Chu Liang’s physical body is strong in all aspects.

With a series of enhancements from dragon body and Body Cultivator Divine Skills, his physical strength was initially far superior to his peers. Now, with consecutive rewards enhancing his physical body, his attributes had increased by tons.

Now, even without pursuing those grand paths, purely physical fighting, the Seventh Realm White Dragon from Shu Mountain known for its physical strength might no longer be his match.

Of course, Chu Liang’s strongest point still lies in the various grand paths he masters.

The more grand paths mastered, the more bonds that can be unlocked, merging them results in stronger effects. In Wen Dao, he had embarked on a track no one else had taken before.

However, everything was urgent.

Grand paths required slow contemplation by the Enlightenment Puppet, and the Demon Beast rewards needed to be gradually compiled. If in one night there was another demonic creature jailbreak, the Prison King might have to take drastic measures to increase guard strength, and Chu Liang would suffer the losses.

Now, Sky-north Prison, a gathering place of malicious spirits, felt like a joyful old home to him, and he wanted to stay a bit longer.

He needed to maintain sustainable exploitation.

After drinking the monkey wine and feeling the new body experience, he sat down cross-legged and took out the Seven Star Mansion Report he casually bought in Yu Capital City.

Nowadays, the circle of immortal friends is becoming more popular, and any news spreads immediately. The relevance of Seven Star Mansion Report to cultivators has diminished, but it remains an important source of information among mortals.

Moreover, this edition of Seven Star Mansion Report contained matters of great interest to Chu Liang.

The previously least regarded Human World Treasure List has become the focus of this edition!

The battle between Shu Mountain and Penglai goes without saying, of course, it is the focus of this edition’s Strategy of Nine States, but two Divine Artifacts that appeared in this battle were bound to be ranked at the top of the Treasure List.

Previously, there was hardly any dispute about the top ten of the Treasure List because it was an objective evaluation conducted after years of accumulating battle achievements, and there was a significant gap between those and the artifacts outside the top ten.

But the two newly emerged Divine Artifacts seemed to be on the same level as the top ten of the Treasure List; exactly how to set their rankings had become a hot topic among the masses.

This was a real challenge for the Tianshu Pavilion.

...

Firstly, the Universe Ring, as per the latest ranking given in the Human World Treasure List, was placed at number twelve!

Ranked just below Ksitigarbha’s True Body.

Years ago, when the Universe’s Time Wheel combined, they could yield extraordinarily powerful effects, but separately, each could hardly be regarded as top-tier Divine Artifacts. Later, the Calamity Wheel underwent enhancements and could edge into the fourth spot on its own. But the Universe Ring was only repaired, not strengthened.

After thousands of years without achievements, its impressive debut in the Battle of Shu Mountain in collaboration with the Eastern Sea Time Wheel almost destroyed Shu Mountain. Had they won that battle, the ranking of the Universe Ring would definitely have been adjusted upwards.

Alas, Penglai lost the battle.

The performance of the Universe Ring was quite striking; for a time, it divided heaven and earth, leaving several Eighth Realm strongmen helpless, and it caused the disappearance of Shu Mountain Peaks. Had not Master Wen Yuan conjured a Universe Ring to counter it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But then, after the Shu Mountain Divine Ship appeared, a single strike sent the Universe Ring crashing down to the Southern Region, almost losing control. Despite Daoist Cang Sheng urgently sending it back to Mirage Mountain, the ultimate result was still the loss of the Divine Artifact.

"Easily lost" is undoubtedly a fatal flaw for a Divine Artifact.

If it was just suppressing an artifactless Shu Mountain, then it could only represent that the Universe Ring belonged to the class of Divine Artifacts. In terms of the most critical artifact battles, it was decisively defeated by the Shu Mountain Divine Ship.

Thus, Tianshu Pavilion assigned it the twelfth rank.

Below this were the Yu Dynasty’s Pan Yang Ancient Jade, the Moonlight Immortal Zither, and the Golden Crow God Soul, these three magical treasures. Among them, the Pan Yang Ancient Jade was slightly mysterious due to its scarce battle achievements, and these three treasures were always deemed insufficient to be classified among divine artifacts, being top-tier among ordinary treasures.

Thus, there has always been a vast divide between the top ten divine artifacts and those ranked outside the top ten in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record.

This time, with the addition of the Shu Mountain Divine Boat and the Universe Ring, the scope of the top ten expanded to the top twelve, and the current divine artifacts suddenly increased by two.

Next was the highly anticipated Shu Mountain Divine Boat.

The ranking given by the Human World Treasure List was eighth!

It was ranked below the Mysterious Yellow Battle Armor and above the Law Lotus Platform.

As a divine artifact with both flying and combat capabilities, the starting point of the Shu Mountain Divine Boat was somewhat higher because it had the battle achievement of striking down the Universe Ring in one blow, and later collided with the Eastern Sea Time Wheel without a clear winner.

The reason it was ranked eighth was that, as a combat divine artifact, its battle achievements were still insufficient to judge its strength and weakness. The existing battle record could only prove that it was stronger than the Universe Ring, but as for other combat divine artifacts, it could not securely suppress them.

Although the Eastern Sea Time Wheel did not gain the upper hand in the collision, it possesses the mystical ability to control time and is not merely a combat divine artifact; for instance, repairing the Universe Ring is one of its abilities. Therefore, being undecided, it was also not possible to rank the Shu Mountain Divine Boat alongside the Eastern Sea Time Wheel.

Below the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, the Chunyang Ancient Sword, the Wang Jiang Astrolabe, and the Mysterious Yellow Battle Armor, three divine artifacts, have not collided with the Shu Mountain Divine Boat, so their rankings remain unchanged for now. In such cases where there are no battle achievements, Tianshu Pavilion will prioritize maintaining the existing rankings and will not blindly place a higher ranking. Otherwise, after one ranking change, if the Shu Mountain Divine Boat loses subsequently, the ranking would have to be adjusted back.

So the eighth position does not mean the Shu Mountain Divine Boat is stable there; if there is a chance to challenge the higher-ranked divine artifacts later, the ranking could change at any time.

The several divine artifacts that followed were ranked below the Divine Boat due to significant flaws.

The one currently ranked ninth, the Law Lotus Platform, is mysterious yet lacks lethality for a divine artifact, being somewhat overly merciful. Hence, its ranking among the divine artifacts has always been relatively low.

The one currently ranked tenth, the Nine Yin Heaven Gate, is a divine artifact of the Lunar Sect. Once activated, it can unleash the demonic power of the Nine Yin Realm from behind the gate, turning the Four Seas and Nine Continents into an endless Ice Domain, and over time it could even destroy the world.

This powerful artifact is ranked lower because it is immobile. Therefore, no one dares to provoke the Lunar Sect in the North Region, and the Lunar Sect cannot take the artifact out to wage war on others.

Their reclusive and isolated style is not unrelated to this.

The one currently ranked eleventh, Ksitigarbha’s True Body, is also considered a purely combat divine artifact. The reason it was potentially at the bottom of the divine artifacts is partly due to its poor battle record, having been unsuccessful in several campaigns, and partly because it definitely belongs to the Demon Sect’s antagonists, so its ranking is kept as low as possible.

It is hard to imagine that the Ten Thousand Treasures Record, unchanged for many years, suddenly gained two seats after one battle.

First place, Demon Suppression Tower.

Second place, Seven Star Treasure Sword.

Third place, Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams.

Fourth place, Eastern Sea Time Wheel.

Fifth place, Chunyang Ancient Sword.

Sixth place, Wang Jiang Astrolabe.

Seventh place, Mysterious Yellow Battle Armor.

Eighth place, Shu Mountain Divine Boat.

Ninth place, Law Lotus Platform.

Tenth place, Nine Yin Heaven Gate.

Eleventh place, Ksitigarbha’s True Body.

Twelfth place, Universe Ring.

...

"Family members, who understands this?" Chu Liang, looking at the newly adjusted Ten Thousand Treasures Record, stroked the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, "Guys, I didn’t do anything, and I suddenly dropped two ranks."
