Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 83: Your Understanding Is incomplete

"Senior, have you heard?"

In the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Bei Chenheng paced nervously, unable to calm down.

The Heavenly Genius Ranking had caused a huge sensation throughout the cultivation world.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind it sat calmly in a chair, leisurely sipping tea.

"What have I heard?" Li Yun took a sip of tea.

"Jade Virtue Holy Son is challenging Ye Chen!" Bei Chenheng said gravely.

This matter concerned the reputation of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Surprisingly, the senior present showed no concern.

At this critical moment, shouldn't he be deducing the Heavenly Secret to see the outcome of this battle?

"Do you want to go and see?" Li Yun raised an eyebrow, glancing at Bei Chenheng.

"I would like to, but my strength doesn't allow it," Bei Chenheng said with a bitter smile.

The reputations of Ye Chen and Jade Virtue Holy Son were considerable.

The outcome of their battle represented the forces behind them.

Many sect leaders and elders had gone to watch the excitement.

If he went, he would likely step out of the influence of the Great Yin Dynasty, facing unknown consequences.

"Don't worry," Li Yun placed the teacup down, saying calmly, "There is no suspense in this battle."

Unless Ye Chen rigged the match.

But that possibility was slim.

Ye Chen's identity? He was an heir of the Imperial clan.

He could afford to lose, but the Imperial clan behind him couldn't.

So, in this battle, they would go all out, leaving no room for mercy.

"Senior, are you so sure?" Bei Chenheng was somewhat skeptical.

The senior's method of deducing the Heavenly Secret seemed too mysterious.

Just sitting there, drinking water, and casually figuring out the Heavenly Secret?

How was it different from others deducing the Heavenly Secret?

When others did it, they often knew less and were cautious about revealing too much, fearing backlash from the heavenly dao.

"Why not?" Li Yun glanced sideways at Bei Chenheng, and said disdainfully, "My method of deducing the Heavenly Secret is something others cannot learn."

"Erm…" Bei Chenheng's expression froze; it seemed like his thoughts were once again seen through.

Li Yun shook his head, paying him no mind. His gaze returned to the system template in front of him.

The Heavenly Genius Ranking had been released.

What was next?

Should there be a Weapon Ranking?

In the future, when the two emperors fought, one could say, "The sword in my hand is the third ranked Imperial Weapon Xiao Li according to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Weapon Ranking!"

Yeah, that sounded cool.

"But the Beauty Ranking seems good too." Li Yun fell into contemplation.

The appearance of this ranking would likely delight those evil cultivators who sought beautiful woman to turn them into their sex slave.

There's no need for them to wander around searching for pretty fairy; they just follow the ranking list.

"Let's stabilize first, see the reaction of the Heavenly Genius Ranking. If it receives a positive response, then decide which ranking list to release later." After hesitating for a while, Li Yun thought to himself.

In the future, he intended to establish the three words "Heavenly Secret Pavilion" as an authority in this world and even the myriad realms.

When the ranking lists were released, they should be unquestionably credible.

Releasing too many at once might make many people skeptical.

It wasn't good news for the Heavenly Genius Ranking either.

As Li Yun made up his mind, millions of miles away…

Canglan Region.

Before the Imperial Ye Clan, a towering divine peak stood, grand and majestic, reaching several thousand dozen foot in height.

Originally even taller, it had been cut in half at the waist using profound divine techniques, creating a vast white jade platform spanning thousands of dozen foot in circumference.

This platform was specially constructed in preparation for the upcoming battle between Ye Chen and Jade Virtue Holy Son.

At this moment, Ye Chen had arrived.

Seated in the center, his long hair cascaded like a waterfall, emitting a radiant glow, resembling a rising sun, exuding an immensely powerful aura.

The sharpness of this aura alone made it difficult for onlookers to open their eyes.

He appeared like a young Emperor, overlooking heaven and earth.

The golden blood energy naturally emanating from him created this extraordinary spectacle.

Behind him, a blood-red spear stood tall, its tip reaching the sky, radiating a chilling brilliance.

Even without activation, the sharpness it exuded sent shivers down one's spine.

This spear, at its lowest, was of Heavenly Transformation Grade weaponry.

It wasn't that the Imperial Ye Clan couldn't produce better weapons, but rather, they couldn't bring them out.

Providing Ye Chen with a Holy Weapon would render the competition meaningless.

Under Holy Weapons, any talk of geniuses was futile.

Being one level higher was within reason, and nobody could find fault with that.

Not far away, elders from various factions and possibly influential figures stood in the void, observing the figures in the arena.

"The Heavenly Genius Ranking released by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion seems to be true. Based on the aura emitted by Ye Chen alone, he is already at the Peak of Nirvana Realm! If he goes all out in a battle, he might contend with a figure of the Heavenly Transformation Realm!" A senior-level figure sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, your statement is incorrect." Someone shook his head slightly and said, "According to the Heavenly Genius Ranking released by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Ye Chen has already slain a Heavenly Transformation Realm figure. His strength is probably unfathomable!"

"The second on the Heavenly Genius Ranking is already so terrifying. I wonder what kind of brilliance the first-ranked will display?"

"The person ranked first on the Heavenly Genius Ranking hasn't been disclosed by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. The mystery surrounding their origin is unparalleled."

While many were discussing animatedly, someone looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Look! The 73rd ranked on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, a descendant of the War God Palace, has arrived!"
