Chapter 854: Chapter 849: Double Rankings (4 Updates)

Lei Hou took flight.

The group of five rode on Lei Hou, heading towards the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, which occupied an entire Superior Spiritual Vein, located on Supreme Mountain.

The distance from the Barren Sea to Supreme Mountain was not short; even for Lei Hou, it would take several Shichen to arrive.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and uneventful.

Despite the safety, Su Chen’s mood still fluctuated greatly.

Because along the way, they faintly encountered several groups of people.

The strength of these people was truly not weak!!!

There was almost no one below the Ancestral King Realm.

Even those at the seventh and eighth layers of the Ancestral King Realm were commonly seen.

This inadvertently made Su Chen think of Zhou Zheng. At that time, Zhou Zheng took the lead to enter the Prisoner Qing Relic Site, and Zhou Zheng was merely a strong individual from the Creation Realm.

At the time, Su Chen thought that all the strong individuals in the Buddha Domain were like Zhou Zheng, all at the Creation Realm level. Now thinking about it, it’s laughable, way too laughable.

Zhou Zheng might just be the absolute bottom-rung small fry of the Buddha Domain, cannon fodder, and the Prisoner Qing Relic Site, to the entire Buddha Domain, was also an utterly insignificant place.

"Tell me about the strength of forces ranging from First Rank to Ninth Grade throughout the entire Buddha Domain," said Su Chen as he took a deep breath.

"Below the strength and forces of Fifth-Rank Power, there are hardly any Martial Artists above the fifth level of the Ancestral King Realm. As for Fourth Rank Forces, they have at least ten strong individuals above the fifth level of the Ancestral King Realm. In Third Rank Forces, the number of Martial Cultivators above the fifth level of the Ancestral King Realm is generally not less than fifty. Second-Rank Forces have no less than three hundred Martial Cultivators above the fifth level of the Ancestral King Realm. As for First-Rank Powers like the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, the number of Martial Cultivators above the fifth level of the Ancestral King Realm is no less than one hundred."

Su Chen gasped in shock!!!

The Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect was terrifyingly powerful, excessively strong, and shockingly astonishing!

As Su Chen and Yu Jianlin continued their conversation, time passed.

Several Shichen later.

Lei Hou came to a halt.

Before them lay an enormous, endless expanse of mountain forests.

There was also a gigantically unimaginable mountain that stood a hundred thousand meters tall, piercing the Heavens, incredibly domineering, and astoundingly striking.

Even Su Chen was shaken by the sight.

What was even more terrifying was that a piece of the mountain’s peak had been sheared off!

Just that one piece, when looked at from the base of the mountain, didn’t seem large, because it was too far away; Su Chen estimated that the sheared-off piece was tens of thousands of square meters in area.

"The Sect of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect is situated right there," Yu Jianlin pointed at the sheared portion at the peak of the hundred-thousand-meter tall mountain and said.

Su Chen’s expression changed drastically.

"It is said that countless years ago, the Old Ancestor of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, on the verge of Ascension to the Advanced Martial Plane, split the ground with one sword to create a place for his disciples to pursue martial arts cultivation," Yu Jianlin said in a solemn and respectful tone, his voice filled with reverence and deference.

Su Chen drew in another breath of cold air, his mind utterly blown! One sword strike to wield such power? Isn’t this even more terrifying than moving mountains and seas or plucking stars from the skies? Can human strength truly reach such heights?

"Su... Su Chen, I... I... Can I ask you a question?" Yu Jianlin hesitated before finally asking with a trembling voice while gritting his teeth.

"Speak!" Su Chen looked at Yu Jianlin strangely, somewhat curious why he was so fearful again. He didn’t seem to do anything to him, right?

"You... What is your relationship with Heyue Nishang?" Yu Jianlin took a deep breath and asked. This was something he had been curious to know ever since he lost to Su Chen with One Move.

"Heyue Nishang?" Su Chen frowned, having never heard the name before.

"That’s her—after returning to the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, she told the Sect Master that you’re even more outstanding than Shentu Ni and said you’re a talent of the Epoch Level," Yu Jianlin’s voice lowered considerably, which he heard from his grandfather; as the Great Elder of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, he naturally knew everything.

"Her?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows, "So her name is Heyue Nishang."

Su Chen was no fool and naturally knew that Yu Jianlin’s referred Heyue Nishang was the mysterious female who sat in the palanquin during the selection in the Buddha Domain.

"I don’t have any relationship with her," Su Chen replied indifferently.

"Then... then that’s good," Yu Jianlin sighed in relief. Thinking back, Heyue Nishang had proclaimed Su Chen an Epoch-Level talent. He was foolish enough to doubt Su Chen, wasn’t that questioning Heyue Nishang herself? His brain must have been flooded.

Fortunately, Su Chen and Heyue Nishang had no special relationship; otherwise, with just a word from Heyue Nishang, he would be doomed, even as the sole grandson of the Great Elder.

Thinking of it, he felt a surge of lingering fear. He really didn’t know what he was thinking yesterday to want to test Su Chen’s strength. It seems his luck wasn’t too bad—otherwise...

"Heyue Nishang? What’s her status in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect?" Su Chen asked curiously, harboring much curiosity about that supremely powerful, mysterious woman.

"You see those Sword Scars on the Peak of the mountains?" Yu Jianlin raised his hand, pointing towards the Sword Scars at the location of the Sect on the mountaintop tens of thousands of meters high, and said, "The owner of the Sword Scars is the Old Ancestor of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, also Heyue Nishang’s great-grandfather. Heyue Nishang is of his Direct Lineage Bloodline."

Su Chen’s eyes flashed, "What is Heyue Nishang’s strength?"

"I... I don’t know, all I know is that Heyue Nishang is the only person in the entire Buddha Domain to be on both lists!" Yu Jianlin’s voice was filled with an indescribable reverence.

"What are the two lists?"

"In the Buddha Domain, there are two rankings that encompass everyone within the domain, one is the Divine Heaven Leveling and the other is the Ascension Leveling. To be eligible for the Divine Heaven Leveling, one must be under a thousand years old and at least at the Ancestral King Realm. Anyone meeting these criteria can rank according to their strength. The Ascension Leveling, even more so, has no requirements and ranks purely by strength. For this reason, those on the Divine Heaven Leveling are generally the most monstrous youngsters in the Buddha Domain, likely future competitors for the Ascension Leveling. The Ascension Leveling, on the other hand, is a ranking of the Domain’s strongest, with Sect Masters and Elders from our Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, as well as other First-Rank Powers, all making the list."

As Yu Jianlin continued to slowly disclose, Su Chen felt deeply moved.

Heyue Nishang was a bit too heaven-defying! Making the Divine Heaven Leveling meant she was not yet a thousand years old, and still being able to make it onto the Ascension Leveling alongside the strongest Old Monsters and others in the Buddha Domain also meant that Heyue Nishang’s strength already stood at the very Peak of the entire domain.

The only one who was not yet a thousand years old and stood at the Peak of existence, huh? Su Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly; no wonder Heyue Nishang merely releasing a trace of her Qi almost made him feel like he could die and come back to life three times over.

What follows.

Su Chen didn’t ask further, his anticipation for the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect growing even greater.
