These words made Xiao Fangu’s whole body tremble.


    He lifted his head, staring in the direction of the Misty Sect, recalling the twice he’d been publicly defeated by Huo Yunjie, and hate gleamed in his eyes.


    "Yes, I want to be above others, all the forces in this world will eventually submit at our feet!"


    Xiao Fangu said with a dark expression.


    He didn’t want to continue as he had before.


    He wanted to rise!


    He wanted to be a Great Power!


    He wanted revenge!


    He wanted to trample all those who had humiliated him underfoot and abuse them at his leisure.


    Zhu Yongfu watched Xiao Fangu darken, his lips curling up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

    ...


    Misty Sect.


    Ye Feng was looking at a document.


    These were materialspiled by Gong Qingqiu, detailing the ten-year development n for Whitefloat City.


    "Hmm, very good, well written."


    Ye Feng reviewed the rmendations, noting that Gong Qingqiu had detailed ns for the city’s development.


    For example, emphasizing the growth of various industries, the bnce of male-to-female ratios, ensuring there wouldn’t be too many bachelors.


    Of course, there were also many new positions created to ensure no one was idle, everyone had something to do, money to earn, ensuring the stable development of Whitefloat City.


    Besides, there were many more suggestions.


    Ye Feng nced over them and felt Gong Qingqiu’s ideas were good. He casually made a few requests before allowing her to continue implementing them.


    "Ah, the disciples have all gone to the Spirit Gathering Tower for cultivation, and the number who challenge the Cultivation Tower has decreased a lot. As a result, their progress toward bing True Disciples has slowed."


    Ye Feng was somewhat helpless.


    At this stage, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Liang Wanfen, Liang Wanrou, and Liang Wanyu had already passed the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower.


    The first two had already be True Disciples, and next, as long as the three Liang sistersplete ten tasks, they would be eligible for promotion to True Disciples.


    Thinking of this, Ye Feng quickly found Liang Wanfen, who was learning how to nt flowers with Jia Yn and Yan Ruyu.


    "I have a mission for you three sisters."


    Ye Feng went straight to the point after seeing Liang Wanfen, "You three should head to the Elders’ Hall as soon as possible to take on ten tasks andplete them sessfully to meet the criteria for bing True Disciples."


    "Why is that?" Liang Wanfen asked, puzzled.


    "You’ve already be a Spirit Sea Realm Demon King while still being an Outer Sect Disciple, is that good? And your two sisters, both at the Peak of Demon General, should be True Disciples sooner."


    Ye Feng casually gave a reason.


    Liang Wanfen took it to heart, immediately found Liang Wanrou and Liang Wanyu, and together they went to the Elders’ Hall to receive tasks.


    Watching their retreating figures, Ye Feng felt gratified.


    "Very well, with this the task of having five True Disciples is done, and as for the Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples, the tasks are basically a breeze."


    Ye Feng smiled.


    In less than half a month, the "Subsidiary Task: Disciple Assessment" would bepleted.


    The thought of the subsequent rewards filled Ye Feng with anticipation.


    ...


    The news of Xiao Fangu challenging Dong Qiang spread quickly.


    Because it concerned the Skypride List, not only did cultivators throughout the Southern River Basin learn of this news, but even those in the Royal Capital, Northern Border, Eastern Mountain, and West in had heard whispers of it.


    "Xiao Fangu really overestimates himself!"


    "I’m dying ofughter. He actually dared to challenge the ny-first ranked Dong Qiang in the Skypride List with just the peak of Element Gathering Realm second tier cultivation level. Even though he unleashed his Sword Drawing Technique, he was still toyed with."


    "Dong Qiang is just ranked ny-first, and yet his strength is so terrifying, don’t you think those ranked above him will be even more frightening?"


    ```


    "That’s natural."


    "It seems that the authority of the Tianjiao Rankings is very high. It’s truly worthy of being a list discussed and agreed upon by the ten Divine Origin Realm experts and the Third Prince."


    People from various forces discussed this matter.


    Xiao Fangu’s challenge to Dong Qiang was the first challenge on the Tianjiao Rankings and had a high profile.


    After that battle, many young elites emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, starting to challenge the cultivators listed on the Tianjiao Rankings.


    More and more battles began to unfold.


    Royal Capital.


    Ancestor Lingmiao sat cross-legged in mid-air, listening to the reports from his subordinates, and he couldn’t help but smile.


    "Tian’er did well. Since he went to learn in the dynasty for a while and came back, his concepts have been very advanced, especially the establishment of the Tianjiao Rankings, which has mobilized the enthusiasm of the younger generation. The younger generation is the future of a kingdom, which proves that Tian’er has the makings of an emperor," Ancestor Lingmiao praised.


    Beside him, the Lingmiao Emperor, dressed in imperial robes, asked with a flicker in his eyes, "Ancestor, have you decided on the choice for the next Emperor?"


    "Other than Tian’er, who else is qualified?" Ancestor Lingmiao countered, silencing the Emperor.


    "Tian’er is talented, young, and has great potential. He also knows how to build connections. After his experience in other dynasties broadened his horizon, he is the indisputable choice for the Emperor. Once he advances to the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he will immediately be appointed as the crown prince," Ancestor Lingmiao made his arrangement.


    "Yes," the Emperor nodded in agreement, daring not to object.


    In the Lingmiao Kingdom, nominally the Emperor ruled the country with supreme authority, but in reality, the Emperor was but one step below the highest, towering above tens of thousands.


    Any major decision had to be endorsed by Ancestor Lingmiao.


    Ancestor Lingmiao withdrew his thoughts and looked at the Teleportation Array to see dozens of Array Masters busy installing thest crystal into the formation’s center.


    As a hundred Supreme Grade Spirit Stones were embedded into the grooves of the Teleportation Array, dim array patterns began to rise, turning into a special mist that engulfed the tform.


    "Reporting to the ancestor, therge Teleportation Array has been constructed!" an Array Master reported, presenting the Space Transmission Order that controlled the Teleportation Array to Ancestor Lingmiao with both hands.


    "Good."


    Ancestor Lingmiao smiled.


    Thepletion of therge Teleportation Array meant that they could travel to Jiaoyang Holy City under the jurisdiction of Jiaoyang Holy Land at any time.


    Inside Jiaoyang Holy City, there were alsorge Teleportation Arrays leading to various ces on the Shenzhou Continent.


    This meant that they could travel to any ce on the Shenzhou Continent in the future.


    Ancient Mystery Land.


    All the Holy Lands.


    All the super cities.


    ces like these, as long as they had enough Spirit Stones, were within reach.


    "Quick, test the Teleportation Array." Ancestor Lingmiao used the Space Transmission Order to activate the formation, and a few Array Masters, amidst a hazy white light, turned into smoke andpletely vanished.


    After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.


    Those Array Masters reappeared on the Teleportation Array, and behind them stood a stern old man in a golden robe, with his hands behind his back.


    "Ancestor Jinling, what brings you here?"


    Ancestor Lingmiao looked at the man, his gaze sharpened, and then he cracked a smile.


    "How so, can’t I, the old man,e for a visit to your Lingmiao Kingdom?" Ancestor Jinling looked around, took a deep breath, and said, "It’s truly a ce blessed by the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint, the nature’s spiritual energy is much richer."


    "It’s all thanks to Lord Ancient Saint!" Ancestor Lingmiao smiled.


    "I see therge Teleportation Array in your Lingmiao Kingdom is also alreadypleted and grounded. The days when you be a Four Star-Level Force should also be near," Ancestor Jinling congratted with a bow.


    "With the Teleportation Array taking shape and my own advancement to the Void Break Realm, plus our Lingmiao Kingdom meets the criteria, tomorrow, I will personally go to Jiaoyang Holy City to apply for the Four Star-Level Force certification," Ancestor Lingmiao said with augh.


    "Then I wish you every sess. By the way, since I’ve rarelye over, I’d like to take a stroll in your Lingmiao Kingdom."


    With that, Ancestor Jinling instantly disappeared.


    "This old guy... I hope he doesn’t take away our Lingmiao Kingdom’s talents," Ancestor Lingmiao frowned slightly.
