“What a joke…”

“Is the Heavenly Pride Ranking broken?”

“How could it be? Since Tianji Island established the Boundary Stele, its information has only been wrong four or five times. How many seemingly absurd situations haven't been proven in the end?”

Some people's first reaction was that there was something wrong with the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

After all, how could a cultivator in the Dharma Idol Realm, who is still in the mortal realm, defeat a Saint Realm existence?

The Saint Realm is the existence that has reached the pinnacle of the Second Step.

With Venerables absent, Saints are kings.

Although the Chaos Sea is vast and boundless, with countless living beings, there are only a few Venerable Realm existences.

Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators in the Second Step may not be able to see a Venerable Realm existence in their lifetime.

In this situation, the Saint Realm is almost the most top-notch combat power in the Chaos Sea.

The Dharma Idol Realm, on the other hand, can be said to have just stepped into the realm of cultivation, vaguely sensing the mysteries of the Dao Principles.

A Dharma Idol Realm cultivator defeating a Saint Realm existence is like a newborn baby, who hasn't even learned to drink milk yet, crushing a ten-foot-tall strongman in full armor to death.

How is this possible?

It's just that, looking back at the countless years since the establishment of this Boundary Stele, its information has only been wrong a few times.

Moreover, the errors occurred on the Heavenly Venerable Stele.

The powerful individuals in the Venerable Realm are in harmony with the Dao, so even though Tianji Island claims to calculate everything, it is reasonable for some problems to occur in the divination of these Venerable Realm existences.

As for the Heavenly Pride Ranking, which records the rankings of Saint Realm geniuses.

It has never been wrong even once!

However, if the Heavenly Pride Ranking is not wrong…

“Then are you saying that this guy named Shen Lin, with the strength of the Dharma Idol Realm, killed the Saint Realm genius of the Netherworld Soul Clan?”

“Uh… it's not impossible…”

“It is indeed possible. Didn't you notice that when this guy's name first appeared on the list, his cultivation realm was still Saint Realm? It only changed to Dharma Idol Realm after a while.”

“Are you saying that this Dharma Idol Realm cultivator named Shen Lin has a method to display the strength of the Saint Realm?”

“The possibility is very small. I'm more inclined to believe that after the battle between these two, although Ming Yueyue died, Shen Lin was also badly injured. Under severe injuries, his cultivation fell to the Dharma Idol Realm.”

Everyone spoke their guesses, one after another.

Just then, another change occurred on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

The series of names below Shen Lin, who had just replaced Ming Yueyue's position, all dropped by one rank.

Immediately afterward, a new record appeared.

【Ming Yueyue, Netherworld Soul Clan, mid-stage Saint Realm…】

“This…”

For a time, the cultivators of all races in front of the Heavenly Pride Ranking widened their eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief.

Ming Yueyue's name had just been removed from the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

How could it appear again now?

Could it be that there really is something wrong with the Heavenly Pride Ranking?

Just as everyone was silent, a voice came from the side.

“Hmph, what's so strange about it? Don't you know about the Netherworld Soul Clan's soul replacement and rebirth methods?”

Hearing this sentence, some cultivators were still confused.

Those who were well-informed, however, revealed a hint of understanding.

Rumor has it that those geniuses of the Netherworld Soul Clan have two lives.

Every genius of the Netherworld Soul Clan, as long as they are valued, will have their soul memory copied by the great powers of the Netherworld Soul Clan and stored within the clan.

If they die outside, they can be reborn in the Netherworld Soul Clan.

This method is mysterious and unpredictable, and few people know about it.

The person who revealed the secret in one sentence was dressed in tattered clothes and had a sloppy appearance.

Leaning against a stone tablet, he was gulping down wine in the corner.

He looked at Ming Yueyue's name on the Heavenly Pride Ranking with blurred eyes, sneering disdainfully.

He murmured: “The same memory, is that resurrection… how ridiculous!”

......

Netherworld Soul Clan.

Venerable Netherworld Soul, who was originally cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in the most heavily guarded Soul Cleansing Pool within the clan.

This was a place that the Netherworld Soul Clan had discovered together with the Dark Domain.

Inside the dark and shiny pool, there was a cool and clear liquid that had not dissipated for millions of years.

As long as the Netherworld Soul Clan members soaked in it for three days and three nights, they could shed a layer of soul clothing, making their soul power more solid, and at the same time, leave a copy of themselves here.

If they died in the outside world, the layer of soul clothing shed here would help them to be reborn.

At this moment, as Venerable Netherworld Soul appeared here, the liquid in the Soul Cleansing Pool stirred, and Ming Yueyue, unclothed, had just floated out of it.

“Who killed you?”

Venerable Netherworld Soul frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Ming Yueyue's cultivation could only be ranked in the middle and lower positions among the Saint Realm cultivators of their Netherworld Soul Clan.

But after all, she was a Saint Realm cultivator, and had already been identified by the Netherworld Soul Clan as the next generation of talent who was expected to become a Venerable Realm.

With her combat power and methods, even if she encountered the true geniuses of the Immortal Clan, Golden Body Clan, and other great clans, she would not have died.

There was always hope of escaping.

Therefore, it was possible that she had fallen due to being besieged by many people.

Venerable Netherworld Soul was very vigilant about this matter.

He was afraid that those great clans had torn up the agreement and attacked the younger generation of their Netherworld Soul Clan.

Ming Yueyue knelt on the ground, her whole body trembling, her eyes filled with fear.

“Reporting… reporting to the Clan Leader!”

“It was a human, a human with the Saint Feather Clan's inheritance.”

A hint of doubt appeared in Venerable Netherworld Soul's eyes.

“Human?”

His lifespan was long, so he was not unfamiliar with the human race.

Back then, the human race, with the Human Emperor sitting in charge, was glorious for a time.

They could barely sit at the same table with their Netherworld Soul Clan, Immortal Clan, and other great clans.

But since that Human Emperor disappeared, the human race has been unable to give birth to new Venerable Realms due to the imprisonment of the Human Emperor's Great Dao. Over the years, they have long since declined and have been driven out of the Nine Heavens.

When did a Saint Realm powerhouse who could kill Ming Yueyue appear in this clan?

Just as he was thinking, Venerable Netherworld Soul suddenly seemed to sense something, and the look in his eyes towards Ming Yueyue gradually became cold.

“Are you hiding something from me?”

Ming Yueyue trembled immediately, remained silent for a moment, and knew that she could no longer hide it, so she could only tell everything she knew.

After a while, after listening to her description, Venerable Netherworld Soul stroked his chin and murmured: “Burning Sea Flame…”

The Heavenly Dao Profound Flame also had great attraction for him, the ruler of such a great clan.

“Hmph, idiot!!!”

He snorted coldly, pointing at Ming Yueyue, angrily blaming her for not being competitive: “Burning Sea Flame, the inheritance of Venerable Burning Heaven, is not something that a junior like you can covet.”

“These things are of great benefit to our Netherworld Soul Clan. You actually concealed it from the clan for your own future, how foolish.”

If Ming Yueyue had told the clan about this matter earlier, although the greatest benefits would have been out of her reach.

But for the Netherworld Soul Clan, having such a top-notch inheritance out of thin air would be enough to increase their strength a lot.

But now…

Venerable Netherworld Soul thought for a while and couldn't help but shake his head.

Not long had passed since the incident. If he rushed over now according to the distance provided by Ming Yueyue, he should still be in time.

But in that case, it would consume a lot of his original Dao power.

It's not worth the loss.

Anyway, now that he knows the specific location of the Burning Sea Flame, he can send someone over later…

Wait!

Just as Venerable Netherworld Soul was about to give up, he suddenly seemed to think of something after glancing at Ming Yueyue.

His face suddenly became extremely ugly.

“This time you went out… you didn't bring the inheritance I gave you before, did you?”

Not long ago, Ming Yueyue had exchanged for the most core inheritance of the Netherworld Soul Clan from him.

Even the Saint Realm powerhouses of the Netherworld Soul Clan could only borrow this thing, and could not take it out of the clan at will.

But this time, Ming Yueyue's outing was completely unreported.

Venerable Netherworld Soul suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

And seeing Ming Yueyue's flustered expression after hearing his question, Venerable Netherworld Soul immediately understood.

He guessed right.

“Clan… Clan Leader… Grandpa, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect this time to…”

Looking at Ming Yueyue, who was incoherent and extremely flustered, Venerable Netherworld Soul could only sigh deeply.

Without saying a word, he left here directly.

The value of the Burning Sea Flame and Venerable Burning Heaven was not so urgent, not enough to make him spend his original Dao power to rush over now.

However, the core inheritance of the Netherworld Soul Clan was different.

For great clans like them, the most core inheritances, martial arts, and techniques were extremely confidential.

Even within the clan, not many people could get the chance to practice them.

Because if this core inheritance were to fall into the outside world, other powerhouses could completely reverse-engineer it and study the mysteries of their techniques and martial arts.

They could even deduce the weaknesses in them.

Therefore, Venerable Netherworld Soul immediately spent his original Dao power, and in an instant, he crossed an unknown distance and appeared near Shen Lin.

Having just arrived, his first reaction was naturally to look at the human, Shen Lin.

But immediately afterward, when he saw the situation in the field clearly, he was stunned.

“The old lizard of the Demon Clan?”

“And… Sell Everything?”

The presence of two existences of the same realm made Venerable Netherworld Soul feel a sense of urgency in his heart, and his face was full of vigilance.

He almost thought that this was an ambush against him.

After all, powerhouses in the Venerable Realm basically had no worldly desires and would not go out easily.

But now, there were actually two powerhouses in the Venerable Realm here.

Fortunately, after observing for a while, he discovered that the Sky Lizard Demon Lord also showed considerable surprise at his appearance.

Seeing the three Venerable Realm experts maintaining a certain distance from each other, looking silent, Shen Lin's expression shifted slightly, and his about-to-be-joined hands paused imperceptibly.

Seems like... there's a turning point?

After a moment of silence, Venerable Nether Soul spoke first.

He knew the 'Sell Everything' guy's style.

If someone offered a high enough price, he'd dare to do anything.

But if that weren't the case, he wouldn't easily take action.

He shouldn't pose any threat to him.

Therefore, he ignored 'Sell Everything' and directly said to the Sky Lizard Demon Lord: "I want this human. For that, I can..."

He, Venerable Nether Soul, wasn't too afraid of this veteran Demon Race Venerable Realm expert.

But if this matter could be resolved peacefully, that would naturally be the best.

To that end, he was mentally prepared to pay some price.

In his opinion, the Demon Race's appearance here could only mean one thing.

That was that they had taken a fancy to Shen Lin's talent and wanted to transform him into a Demon Race member.

If he gave them a few more young geniuses, he should be able to capture Shen Lin without bloodshed.

"Impossible!"

To his surprise, before he could even state his conditions, the Sky Lizard Demon Lord directly rejected him, saying, "This guy is someone the Heavenly Demon Lord specifically asked for by name. No matter the cost, I must take him back."

Hearing these words, Venerable Nether Soul fell silent.

The Demon Race had very few bottom lines; everything could be negotiated with benefits.

But the Heavenly Demon's orders were inviolable instructions for these guys.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

On the cloak behind Venerable Nether Soul, the forms of the souls became even more hideous.

The muscles on the Sky Lizard Demon Lord's body swelled little by little, and his veins throbbed.

The pressure of the Venerable Realm experts collided with each other, and the space frozen by 'Sell Everything' seemed like it would be torn apart at any moment.

Shen Lin looked at this scene with a nervous expression.

If these two fought, perhaps he would have a chance to escape.

But 'Sell Everything,' who was on the sidelines, smiled meaningfully at this moment. Even though there was no business to be done, he didn't leave.

Instead, he folded his arms and watched the show.

Seeing Shen Lin's nervous look, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This little guy was thinking too simply.

The existences of the Venerable Realm were all old foxes.

How could they do something that would benefit the fisherman while the snipe and clam fought?

Besides, these two weren't small fish or shrimp.

If they really fought, even the aftermath of the battle could kill Shen Lin, who was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, seventeen or eighteen times over.

However, this little guy knew the Dao Rule Secret Technique, Intercepting Heaven.

'Sell Everything' was very curious.

Faced with the current situation, what method would this kid use through the Dao Rule Secret Technique to escape?

Just as 'Sell Everything' was thinking, the two Venerable Realm experts who were confronting each other suddenly dissipated their auras.

The intense collision of auras just now vanished without a trace.

"I want to retrieve my race's inheritance from this kid, and also search his memories to confirm that he didn't peek. If he did, I'll erase his memories."

Venerable Nether Soul directly stated his needs.

If possible, he certainly wanted to take away the Burning Sea Flame and the Burning Heaven Venerable's inheritance.

After all, he had spent a lot of Source Dao Power to get here this time, so he had to recover some benefits.

After hearing this, the Sky Lizard Demon Lord slowly shook his head and said, "Anything on him can be given to you, but only his memories cannot be touched!"

Based on his previous brief observation of Shen Lin, the Sky Lizard Demon Lord already understood why the Heavenly Demon Lord wanted him to bring Shen Lin back.

This kid was able to completely get rid of the influence of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Art; this secret must not be spread.

Therefore, letting Venerable Nether Soul probe his memories was definitely not allowed.

Hearing his words, Venerable Nether Soul frowned.

He originally thought that the other party valued this kid's talent and the Burning Heaven Venerable's inheritance.

But judging from the Sky Lizard Demon Lord's performance, the focus seemed to be on Shen Lin himself.

Venerable Nether Soul couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Lin.

What exactly was the secret that would make the Demon Race so persistent?

While thinking, his eyes suddenly moved, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Since the Demon Race valued Shen Lin himself, and seemed to want to get something from his memories while not wanting him to know...

Then things didn't seem too difficult.

Venerable Nether Soul looked at the Sky Lizard Demon Lord and suddenly pointed to 'Sell Everything' on the side.

"Then I'll entrust him to help me check this kid's memories. If there's anything related to my race's inheritance, erase that part of the memory."

"At the same time, after he's checked all of this kid's memories, I can offer a price to buy him deleting his own memory of that part. How about it?"

Hearing this suggestion, the Sky Lizard Demon Lord's expression shifted slightly.

Their Demon Race's secrets could not be known by any of the great races of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Demon Lord's countless years of planning would be disrupted.

Those nails that had been painstakingly driven into the core of each race might be pulled out one by one.

But if 'Sell Everything' knew, and then they offered a price to have him delete his own memory of that segment, then the problem wouldn't be so big.

The Sky Lizard Demon Lord tentatively looked at 'Sell Everything.'

He saw the other party smile and reply, "I can accept this deal. Hmm... ten million Spirit Accumulation Pearls!"

"Deal!"

Venerable Nether Soul agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Then he looked at the Sky Lizard Demon Lord and said, "I've made an offer, so the things on him..."

The Sky Lizard Demon Lord smiled and said, "We'll each make a copy of the Burning Heaven Venerable's inheritance. As for the Burning Sea Flame... it's yours!"

"Good!"

Shen Lin was dumbfounded by this scene.

Damn it, you dogs, why don't you go into sales if you're so good at negotiating?
