Chapter 81: Golden List Announcement

Chapter 81: Golden List Announcement When the announcement for the 20th rank on the Golden List was made, the name Du Teng from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect shocked the entire world of Tianyuan. A wave of silence swept across the realm as all eyes focused on the name etched across the sky. The already fearsome and immensely powerful Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect now also had a genius of extraordinary strength. This caused many factions to immediately start calculating and discussing strategies, sending secret messages to their allies to assess the situation and plan for the future.

"Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect... This world has gone mad!" a cultivator exclaimed.

"Why is an Immortal Emperor of the lowest level ranked 20th? This is madness!" another voice joined in, filled with disbelief.

"I thought they were strong already, but it seems they are much stronger than we imagined," said yet another voice, laced with anxiety.

As the world grappled with this reality, the announcement for the next rank came swiftly, without a moment of pause.

[Rank 19]

Name: Yao Xian

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Alchemy

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

The prior silence transformed into heightened confusion and fear as Yao Xian's name appeared. With two disciples from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect now on the Golden List, it became clear just how formidable the sect truly was. This solidified the growing realization that this sect could easily become the most powerful force in the world of Tianyuan—or perhaps, it already was.

Factions across the realm, who had been consulting and plotting ways to handle the situation, scrambled to send urgent messages to their allies, seeking to form alliances. They understood that facing the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect alone was no longer an option.

"If the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect has so many geniuses, I fear there will soon be no place left for us in Tianyuan," one voice remarked during a secret council meeting of a faction.

But before they could even fully grasp the situation, the next rank was announced.

[Rank 18]

Name: Xing Chen

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Stars

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

The name Xing Chen, ranked 18th, didn't cause much of a stir among the general cultivators, but within the Sacred Star Immortal Emperor Land, it caused a massive shockwave of disbelief.

"This can't be! How is he still alive?" exclaimed a disciple of the Sacred Star Immortal Emperor Land, their face filled with confusion.

"He was supposed to be dead... I had heard news of his demise," another disciple said, staring up at the Golden List in shock.

A newer disciple, who had recently joined the Sacred Star Immortal Emperor Land, looked at the older disciples with curiosity before asking, "Who is that person, senior?"

The experienced disciple sighed before speaking in a low voice, "He was once the Holy Son of our land. His talents were unmatched. But... due to some incident where he violated the laws of the Sacred Star Immortal Emperor Land, his cultivation was destroyed, and he was exiled. There were rumors that he had died."

Hearing this, the new disciple fell silent, shocked by the revelation. Someone who had once been exiled was not only still alive but had also reappeared on the Golden List as a disciple of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect. Xing Chen's return was far more terrifying than they could have imagined.

A group of people within the Sacred Star Immortal Emperor Land stared blankly at the sky before starting to discuss matters with urgency.

But before they could recover from their shock, the announcement for the 17th rank was made.

[Rank 17]

Name: Feng Zhan

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Flames

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

When Feng Zhan's name appeared, it sent waves of chaos through the ranks of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty. Faces paled, and expressions of sheer disbelief spread among those who heard his name.

"Feng Zhan... Isn't he the exiled prince? Wasn't he executed?" a voice rang out from a high-ranking official of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty.

To the royal family of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, Feng Zhan was a name that should no longer exist in the world. He had once fought against Feng Yi, causing a significant disturbance within the dynasty, and had to be eliminated to maintain peace. Yet now, he had returned, stronger than ever, under the banner of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect.

Whispers of fear and confusion filled the air as Feng Zhan's name continued to glow brightly in the sky. Factions everywhere were gripped by panic. The Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect didn't just have many powerful individuals; they also housed some of the most talented and dangerous geniuses.

[Rank 16]

Name: Qing Yan

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Formations

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

...

[Rank 15]

Name: Jing Ya

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Paintings

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

When the 16th and 15th ranks were announced in succession, the system's voice reverberated through the sky. These two names also belonged to the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect. While these individuals were less known, their inclusion in the Golden List still caused the realm to fall into a profound silence. These names came from a hidden world in Tianyuan where Jiang Yun had once resided.

Then, the announcement of the 14th rank reverberated across the land, causing yet another shockwave. But this time, the Sacred Immortal Demon Emperor Land trembled with a surge of power, and a furious voice echoed from its heart.

[Rank 14]

Name: Gui Mo

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Beasts

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

"Prepare the army! We're going to kill that scum!" roared Mo Ling, his voice booming throughout the land. Disciples and servants trembled in fear at his wrath as the dark power of the Demon Emperor radiated outwards, filled with rage.

But just as Mo Ling was about to take action, a calm, elderly voice interrupted, "Be patient... We must discuss this carefully. Do not let your anger cloud your judgment."

[Rank 13]

Name: Si Hun

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Spirits

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

As tensions ran high, the 13th rank was announced. However, like many of the previous names, Si Hun was not well-known. The eight individuals revealed thus far had never appeared in the Tianyuan combat trials, having honed their skills in the Samsara Battlefield of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect.

[Rank 12]

Name: Chui Meng

Affiliation: Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Disciple of the Peak of Melody

Cultivation Level: Low-tier Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

When the name of the 12th-ranked individual, Chui Meng, was announced, though the stir was smaller, it still caused ripples throughout Tianyuan. However, in a small world elsewhere, the reaction was quite different. An old man exclaimed in surprise, "That... that's the young miss!"

A middle-aged man standing beside him glanced up at the sky in confusion, gazing at the name. He looked toward the black-robed figure standing nearby before calmly issuing an order. "You... bring gifts and resources to her. Tell her she can live as she wishes. And regarding the engagement, if she wishes to cancel it, I'll take care of it myself."

The black-robed man bowed deeply before vanishing into the void.

At the Wen Clan, the atmosphere remained tranquil as Wen Jie, the clan leader, looked up at the Golden List with interest. He muttered quietly, "Her appearance on this list... will it be a blessing or a curse?"

Cultivation: Supreme Immortal Emperor

Reward: (Only visible to the rank holder)

After the announcement of the top 11 to 1 rankings was made swiftly, no one was surprised by who claimed the top spot. Everyone expected Jiang Yun to be the number one. However, what shocked the entire Tianyuan world was that all 20 spots on the Golden List were occupied solely by disciples from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect.

Whispers of disbelief and fear spread throughout the land. "What is happening... am I dreaming?" one voice muttered in denial.

"The entire top 20, all from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect!" another voice said, trembling in shock.

While this revelation continued to shake Tianyuan, the atmosphere in the Lin Immortal Emperor Clan was different. Lin Jia gazed at the sky before letting out a satisfied laugh. "Just as expected. Though it has exceeded my predictions by a bit."

Lin Qingyi turned to her uncle, confused. "Uncle... I..."

Lin Jia placed his hand gently on her head and smiled warmly. "Don't worry. There will always be opportunities in the future."

However, Lin Qingyi remained puzzled. Her mind was filled with questions, but she knew this wasn't the right time to ask.

In the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, Feng Yi stood silently, her eyes cold and filled with disappointment. She couldn't help but mutter, "The difference in power shouldn't be this vast..." Though she acknowledged Jiang Yun's strength, the gap between them seemed far larger than it should have been.

Feng Yang, her father, smiled gently. "Don't worry too much. I encountered Jiang Yun once. From what I could sense, his body possesses the Sacred Time Physique, and now it's evolved into the Immortal Emperor Physique of Time. I suspect he has other physiques as well, like the Immortal Emperor Physique of the Void. There are likely more that I couldn't detect at the time, as I was only interacting with a fragment of my spirit. But I'm certain that he can accelerate time for himself."

He paused for a moment before adding, with a tone of wonder, "The only one who might know more about time has already joined the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect... but if I had to guess, Jiang Yun could probably accelerate time by at least 100,000 times, maybe even up to 10 million times."

Feng Yi remained in a daze at her father's words. Comparing herself to Jiang Yun made her feel a tremendous pressure and disappointment in her own abilities. Yet, in the end, she pushed away those thoughts, determined not to let comparisons weigh her down. She quickly began making plans and issuing commands.

Meanwhile, in the Xue Clan, a determined voice echoed through the hall, "Just give me a little more time..."

On the Immortal Wind Continent, Zi Hao looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with defiance. "I will catch up to you, Jiang Yun!"

As confusion and pressure mounted across the realm, many factions began reaching out to each other, discussing what their next steps should be. No one could deny that this announcement marked the beginning of something monumental—a shift that would change the face of Tianyuan forever.

In the void, a distant laugh could be heard. "Hahaha... Hurry up... I can't wait any longer!"
