Chapter 298: Am I Only Second?

"The Peerless Beauty List, although named for peerless beauty, those who can make it to the list are all outstanding individuals. It shows the thoughtful consideration of the Pavilion Master." someone sighed lightly.

At this moment, radiance showered down. After the jade carriage stopped for a moment and floated away, it left behind a mysterious trail of light, surrounded by petals with an endless fragrance.

Countless eyes followed the movement of the jade carriage. Eventually, under the gaze of everyone, the jade carriage stopped in front of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. In the midst of it all, a woman who made mountains and rivers lose their color and the sun and moon dimly appeared.

This kind of beauty should not exist in the mortal world. It feels extremely unreal, flawless, like the reincarnation of a goddess, with clear and bright eyes, flawless skin like white jade, exquisite and elegant. She has a slender figure, glossy black hair like satin, and a red mark on her forehead, flickering like flames, adding endless aura.

Stepping down from the jade carriage, she did not look sideways, lightly walking into the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"It's a pity." A genius shook his head and said with regret, "Such figures have rejected the proposals of too many Holy Sons. Ordinary people can't even catch their attention."

Saying that, he glanced at a Wonderful Desire Dao disciple nearby, as if he were speaking to him, yet it seemed like he was speaking to everyone present.

…

In the Purple Profound Realm, the ancestral land of the human race, in a grand hall.

Yang Jian, dressed in white, untouched by dust, looked at the vast group of mountains. He opened a folding fan in his hand, gently swaying it, like an Immortal being, drifting out of the dust.

"Holy Son!" A middle-aged Quasi Emperor, taking big strides, entered the hall. He held a jade slip in his hand and came to Yang Jian's side.

"Any news about the spatial channel?" Yang Jian's figure was different, saying indifferently.

"No." The middle-aged Quasi Emperor shook his head.

In the True Immortal Inheritance journey, although they didn't have an Emperor presiding over them, they had quite a few cards. They can barely compete with an Emperor for a short time/ Especially with the guidance of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, they brought out insights left by a True Immortal, and it can be said to have been safe with a bit of surprise.

The insights of a True Immortal are truly invaluable. If news of this were to leak out, any Emperor would be intrigued. Therefore, Yang Jian and his companions in the Purple Profound Realm feel insecure, constantly pondering how to return to the Earth Immortal Realm.

This situation was not anticipated before they descended. After all, as long as the spatial channel remained intact, even if there were no Emperors from the Jade Void Palace, no one would dare to provoke them. Just relaying a message would be enough to bring down the Emperor from the Jade Void Palace.

But without the spatial channel, everything changed. With no Emperor presiding, the Jade Void Palace is in constant jeopardy here. The few individuals present are simply incapable of withstanding an Emperor.

It's precisely because there is no Emperor that their attempt to open a spatial channel on their own is futile. They can only pin their hopes on the Jade Void Palace's ancestors or the Emperors who descended with them.

"So, what brings you here this time?" Yang Jian inquired.

"Holy Son, that mysterious Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has released a new list!" the middle-aged Quasi Emperor handed over the jade slip.

"Oh?" Yang Jian turned around, his eyebrows arched into his temples, exuding a heroic air. Folding his fan, he lifted his palm, and a suction force instantly pulled the jade slip into his hand.

"On the new list, are there beings from the Earth Immortal Realm?" Yang Jian asked. Having visited the Heavenly Secret Pavilion before, he was familiar with the list above the Great Wilderness City. Checking the list allows him to understand the significant figures among the older and younger generations of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"Nothing can escape Holy Son's notice. In the new list, not only is Holy Son ranked second on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, but even the Underworld Emperor has made it onto the Peerless Beauty List," the middle-aged Quasi Emperor said solemnly.

"I'm only second?" Yang Jian was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, although there is no Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he has already become unrivaled among the younger generation, and among his peers, there is no one who can compete with him. Even without being on the list, he is known as the number one among the younger generation. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the Pavilion Master, he is only second.

"As for this first…" Yang Jian's divine sense entered the contents of the jade slip, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes. "Yu Qingxian… have you found any information about this person?"

"Uh," the middle-aged Quasi Emperor's complexion froze. He clasped his fists apologetically, saying, "To be honest to Holy Son, this Yu Qingxian is too mysterious. It seems that from birth until now, she has never set foot outside the Kunlun Void.

"Subordinates have inquired from various sources but have only obtained a small amount of information. All we know is that in the Heavenly Origin Realm, a human genius named Ye Chen, ranked second on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, once fought against Yu Qingxian. In the end, he was defeated by a move and almost lost his life. Besides this, there is no other record."

"Ye Chen?" Yang Jian's expression changed. He glanced at Ye Chen's ranking in the jade slip. Ye Chen is currently ranked 81st on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, which is quite high and outstanding even in the Earth Immortal Realm. But in a battle against Yu Qingxian, he was defeated in one move.

"This person is rumored in the Heavenly Origin Realm to be a reincarnation of a Great Emperor, but has never been recognized by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master," the middle-aged Quasi Emperor said. In the Heavenly Origin Realm, anything is only considered a fact if the Pavilion Master nods. If the Pavilion Master doesn't nod, it's all treated as rumors.

From this, one can see the prestige of the four words "Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master."

"A reincarnation of the Great Emperor?" Yang Jian looked at the records behind Yu Qingxian's name. Apart from defeating Ye Chen with one move, she also used a formation to defeat a Saint.

Obviously, many people overlooked this achievement. It is not her own strength, so it cannot be counted as part of his own achievements. It should be noted that a person who has just cultivated, using an Emperor Grade killing formation can easily kill a Saint. The two are fundamentally incomparable.

"Never having appeared but taking the lead ahead of countless others, perhaps only the explanation of being a reincarnation of a Great Emperor suffices," Yang Jian said in a low voice.

At this point, Yu Qingxian's strength has reached the Middle Stage Heavenly Phenomena Realm, and her cultivation has advanced rapidly, with no bottlenecks. Before becoming an Emperor, everything is a smooth journey. Her goal, in anyone's eyes, is probably not just an Emperor.

After all, she was an Emperor in the previous life, and for some unknown reason, she reincarnated and re-cultivated this life. In this life, her goal is definitely beyond that of an Emperor.

In the past, the Heavenly Origin Realm may not have been able to accommodate beings above the Emperor, but now it's different. After the merging of the two worlds, billions of living beings can all feel the difference in the world. The Emperor is no longer the end.

Becoming a True Immortal has become the ultimate goal for all cultivators.
