Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 720 - 440: Prove the Dao Again! Innate Devaluation!_2

But——"Ranked Eleventh!"

"’Innate Master’ Yan Chuan?!"

...

"In Nanxiong City, he instantly killed a Second-Rank God General Innate Sixth Layer, toyed with a Third-Rank God General Innate Twelfth Layer, and even easily escaped from ’Burst Seed’ mode in that Fu Xixiang!"

"No wonder!"

"No wonder he was ranked eleventh!"

Tan Yunqing carefully reviewed the descriptions from the ’Traveler Department’ and ’Mountain and Sea Department’ regarding Yan Chuan’s performance in that battle in Nanxiong City, and found the ranking quite appropriate——

To advance one more rank, "Heavenly List" tenth, belongs to Wei Buqun, the Sect Hierarch of the Black Hawk Sect, Innate Tenth Layer, Third-Rank God General, serving as the gatekeeper to the top ten of the "Heavenly List."

Yan Chuan couldn’t fight off Fu Xixiang, being chased by a Third-Rank God General, clearly indicating his strength was inferior to Wei Buqun.

And the previous "Heavenly List" eleventh, the Divine Monk Mingxin of Moni Temple’s three Divine Monks, who was Innate Ninth Layer, Second Rank Peak, judging by Yan Chuan being able to instantly kill Fu Yuanshan of Second Rank Sixth Layer, it seemed within the Second Rank there were no match for him, logically positioning him above the Divine Monk Mingxin to replace as "Heavenly List" eleventh.

"Yan Chuan!"

"Only twenty-eight this year!"

"Remarkable!"

Tan Yunqing sincerely praised.

Yan Chuan reached the Innate Dao at the end of his twenty-seventh year, placing him as top tier in Great Yan, but not much in the expansive Mountain and Sea Realm.

Yet he was able to instantly kill an Innate Sixth Layer and contend with a Third-Rank God General merely a couple of months after attaining the Innate Dao, his rapid growth speed in the Innate Realm would likely alarm the whole of Great Yan, causing all over forty Grandmasters on the "Heavenly List" to take notice.

Including Emperor Yan.

Tan Yunqing was no exception.

"This boy!"

"Boundless potential!"

After examining the reasons for Yan Chuan’s rise in ranking, Tan Yunqing felt surprised, emotional, but then realized: "The ’Heavenly List’ ranking shifts can be updated in March with the new edition. Even if a Grandmaster perishes during this period, there will not be an immediate publication."

"The ’Heavenly List’ is only adjusted in a special case——

"Newly ascended Innate!"

Tan Yunqing continued reading and soon saw——

"Heavenly List" forty-seventh, ’Enchanting Demon’ Ding Xiang!"

"Heavenly List" forty-eighth, ’One-Armed Vajra’——"

"It’s actually him?!"

...

"Shocking!"

"I never would have thought, after me, that both Ying Jifeng and Ding Xiang would prove the Dao!"

Wang Zhengyi, holding the new "Heavenly List" edition, kept expressing his emotions.

Ding Xiang?

At most, just good at Qinggong movement technique, but regarding the potential of proving the Dao, in Wang Zhengyi’s view, she was far inferior to Ma Hongniang——

"Ma Hongniang has iron bones!"

"She’s so tough!"

"How could Ding Xiang have gotten ahead?"

Wang Zhengyi couldn’t figure it out.

At the very least, Wang Ge should have proven the Dao first, hurt himself before hurting others, "Seven Injuries Fist" supported by Jiang Bianliu’s "Divine Light Scripture," Wang Ge’s cultivation progressed rapidly, he was also one of Wang Zhengyi’s top contenders to prove the Dao.

After that, and after Wang Ge, there was Fu Yunzhan!

Ma Hongniang!

Wang Ge!

Fu Yunzhan!

Then only Ding Xiang.

This was Wang Zhengyi’s envisioned sequence for proving the Dao.

However, Ding Xiang unexpectedly managed to ascend in fourth place.

"Fine, fine!"

"Ding Xiang, it’s just as well!"

"But why Ying Jifeng?"

Wang Zhengyi was thoroughly bewildered.

The loss of an arm is one factor.

Furthermore, Ying Jifeng practiced the "Absorption Star Great Method" taught by Yan Chuan, habitually absorbing others’ Inner Strength. Wang Zhengyi had specifically observed him, Ying Jifeng’s body was filled with countless mixed alien internal powers, like a furnace ready to explode at any moment.

Wang Zhengyi even worried that if he exploded, he would harm the Tan Valley Army, and even Ni Mengtong dared not let him live in the barracks.

With that?

Can he also prove the Dao?

Forget everything else, how did he pass the hurdle of ’God and Qi Harmony’?

Did he bribe Heaven itself?!

"When did Innate become so devalued that it’s called ’God General’ in the Mountain and Sea Realm and ’Grandmaster’ in Great Yan?" Wang Zhengyi looked at the "Heavenly List," then thought about Ding Xiang and Ying Jifeng, finally sharply lifting his head to Yan Chuan: "Innate devaluation! Old Yan! You bear some responsibility!"

...

"Innate Master!"

"Innate Master!"

Wang Zhengyi was just muttering a moment before, and in the next moment, Yan Chuan truly produced two more newly ascended Innate ones.

With this, the title ’Innate Master’ was solidified, leaving no one more rightfully deserving than Yan Chuan.

"Heavenly List" tenth!"

"Elder Jiang! Granny Huang! Brother Chen! Me! Situ Fei! Ding Xiang! Ying Jifeng!"

"How long has it been?"

"Less than a year since the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, and already five new ascend, with you included, six new Innate! Adding Elder Jiang and Granny Huang, a small Tan Valley Royal City has eight Innate Grandmasters!"

"Old Yan!"

"Are you aiming to become a ’Side by Side King’?"

Wang Zhengyi was not joking, his face was stern: "While it’s delightful that Ding Xiang and Ying Jifeng have proven the Dao one after another, it also brings significant impact. I fear Emperor Yan will become suspicious and apprehensive of Tan Valley Royal City!"

Just look at the "Heavenly List" already having forty-eight Innate.

But how many truly follow Emperor Yan’s command?

Are there even eight?

Not necessarily!

But Yan Chuan!

But Tan Valley Royal City!

Now genuinely has eight Innate, this setup, it’s too much!

Even if they’re all newly ascended Innate, even if they’re all still wandering at the First-Rank, the sheer numbers and potential are overwhelming!

Such an emerging group, how could it not cause unease in the emperor’s presence?

"It’s not that serious." Yan Chuan smiled: "Don’t forget, Emperor Yan’s hands hold unknown amounts of Mythical Weapons! Just the ones revealed in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion exceed a hundred ’Three Heads and Six Arms,’ that’s over a hundred forces nearly equal to Second-Rank God Generals. Our mere eight Innate, the emperor may not care at all."

"How can they be the same?" Wang Zhengyi shook his head: "The combat power of Mythical Weapon is fixed, a hundred ’Three Heads and Six Arms’ now nearly Second-Rank, still less than Second-Rank after a hundred years. But how about you? How about us? After a hundred years, I’ll have become a War God!"

Wang Zhengyi paused mid-speech.

Yan Chuan couldn’t help but laugh: "Exactly! When you become a War God, would you still fear Emperor Yan’s suspicion?"

"Exactly!"

"When I become a War God!"

"Why fear Emperor Yan’s suspicion?"

Wang Zhengyi was taken aback, then couldn’t help laughing.

After all, as young people, filled with passion and youthful spirit, though momentarily hesitant, eventually forge ahead.

"Emperor Yan?"

"No need to fear!"

Wang Zhengyi’s eyes were bright: "Old Yan! Didn’t you recently acquire a treasure called ’North Mansion’? There are two stone rooms inside, right? How about this! Give me one, I’ll let the ’Monkey King Avatar’ reside there. In case of danger, if you’re in trouble, let the ’Monkey King Avatar’ cover you, if I’m in danger, I’ll run to your side!"

With the avatar.

With the ’Soul Channel.’

Fear what of Emperor Yan?

...

"Why could the third prince prove the Dao?"

Luo Qi didn’t understand either.

Clearly, he was first!

Before Ding Xiang and Ying Jifeng.

Before Wang Zhengyi.

Even before Yan Chuan and Situ Fei.

Before all these newly ascended Innate, Luo Qi had already first reached Enlightenment, a step away from proving the Dao, but just a step away, disrupted by the Bear King, Enlightenment interrupted, Dao interrupted.

After this.

Months.

Luo Qi not only failed to rediscover the original feeling but also drifted further from the Innate.

Luo Qi was panicked.

Luo Qi was at a loss.

He pressed down the anxiety in his heart, continued to train hard, continued to strive.

But the harder he worked, fortune did not favor.

Innate!

Further and further away!

Luo Qi couldn’t grasp it.

While training hard, watching each of his Cang Mountain Sword Discussion fellows like Yan Chuan, Situ Fei, Wang Zhengyi who were supposed to prove the Dao after him, each proving the Dao before him, Luo Qi felt uneasy.

And this time——

The toady Ding Xiang!

One-armed Ying Jifeng!

With the ascensions of these two, especially Ying Jifeng, Luo Qi was completely shattered.

Thus, he sought out Yan Chuan, hoping to find an answer.
