Chapter 2214 - Protective Mechanism
âIf my memory doesnât fail me, we havenât had anybody who became a grade-six disciple before the age of thirty in millions of years, right?â
âRight, Even for those with six-six talent, they only became grade-six disciples when they were in their fifties at least.â
âHowever, they really do have the ability!â
âI even feel they could be grade-seven disciples, but theyâd have to be in the Order stage for that.â
âItâs fine. As the main wife and concubines of the scion, they all have a grade or two extra in privileges, so Lin Feng and his wives can all enter the seventh level of the Caeli Vault.â
"Three lasses that aren't even thirty yet. Their potential is infinite and they may even have the potential to be a rex mundiâŠ."
Tianming could clearly feel that the gazes on him now had a tinge of admiration and envy. While his performance today hadnât been bad, by the metric of age, his wives were the amazing ones. It was much more shocking than the daisy rankings. And the more shocking they were, the more Tianming and Lin Xiaoâs statuses would rise with them. Furthermore, there had been zero objection to the council raising them to grade-six disciples! That meant that even if Tianming didnât have the ability to win everyone over, the three ladies did.
âGreat!â
âLet the three of them develop their potential in the Lin Clan!â
âLin Feng wouldâve made immense contributions if he can rope in these three infinitum-class geniuses and make them experts of our Lin Clan in the future.â
âYes!â
Tianming was flabbergasted. Usually, mothers were brought glory by their sons and wives were brought glory by their husbands. So why was it the other way around for him?
âHaha, great, excellent!â Dongshen Yue was among the happiest. For this large leap from the daisy rankings to the succession override battle, she had spent an incredible amount of effort on nurturing the three girls. She had been watching and protecting them every moment. She was naturally proud to see them win over the members of the clan.
âCongratulation, Brother Hu and sister-in-law. These three young ladies really are peerless. Just having one would be enough to give you happy dreams, but youâve got three! How envious. Your kid Lin Feng is great, too. In comparison, my Huanâer is like a pig,â Lin Xiong said. He seemed annoyed and pulled Lin Huan over to give him a smack.
âGrandpa Xiong, apart from being handsome, Iâm also pretty strong,â Tianming said in a soft voice.
âRight, youâre pretty strong indeed. You look very ordinary, but your skill in pretending to be weak is top-notch,â Lin Xiong was amused.
Tianming was speechless.
âOh yes.â Lin Xiong looked at Lin Xiao. âLin Xiuzhu was supposedly preparing for the minor reges mundi ranking right? Itâll be held in half a year. Since Fengâer can beat him, you can send him there to train as well. Although heâs a little weak, his mind is quick and he has many techniques. He may undergo a transformation if you send him there.â
Lin Xiongâs words aroused Tianmingâs attention.
Dongshen Yue thought about it before rejecting the idea. âThe minor reges mundi ranking? Fengâerâs strength is indeed at that standard. But itâs better for him not to go. Firstly, heâs still weaker than the peak contestants, so he wonât rank high even if he goes. Secondly, it does have quite a bit of dangerâŠ.â
âTrue! Thatâs the battlefield of infinitum-class geniuses who reached the Order stage before a hundred years of age. If you arenât strong enough, the risk is high and thereâs no payoff. Although the minor reges mundi ranking can help earn glory for the clan, itâd be a little too hard for Fengâer,'' Lin Xiong said.
âWhatâs the minor reges mundi ranking?â Tianming asked. The reges mundi ranking was the list of the Infinitum Bodhimandaâs experts, from first place all the way to the billionth! And there was a minor ranking, too?
âYou still donât know about it?â Lin Xiong asked.
Tianming shook his head.
Dongshen Yue took over. âThe ranking is just for the sake of providing a stage for the geniuses under a hundred years of age to compete on. The method is generally just to put all the qualified people in one place to battle and decide whoâs stronger, thus forming the minor reges mundi ranking. However, the minor reges mundi ranking is still a part of the reges mundi ranking as well. You can gain a position on the main ranking based on your placement in the minor ranking,â
Lin Xiong nodded. âThe reges mundi ranking is the soul of the Infinitum Bodhimanda. Itâll get fresh blood from the young cultivators under a hundred years of age. But itâs obviously not very fair to have children face off against adults, so the Infinitum Bodhimanda created a minor ranking for the young cultivators to fight it out among themselves. When they pass a hundred years of age, the protective mechanism will disappear and theyâll start receiving challenges from their elders. They may even be thousands of years older, as the main ranking doesnât factor in age.â
Tianming understood. It was too difficult for young cultivators to join the ranking otherwise, hence the creation of the minor reges mundi ranking. The positions on the minor reges mundi ranking would have a corresponding position on the main ranking. That allowed the kids to have a chance to join it and have a stable position. Once they crossed a hundred years of age, they would start having to accept all comers!
âThe Infinitum Bodhimanda uses the reges mundi ranking to decide everything from status to resources. Yi Daiyan became number one on the reges mundi ranking and immediately became the rex mundi of the Infinitum Mundus. The rank people earn can allow them to gain reputation, resources, and status outside of their clan. Itâs the dream of everyone in the mundus!â
Li Muyang had mentioned it to Tianming before. The first place on the reges mundi ranking could even control Eboniaâs fusion formation! The ranking list decided everything. And the minor reges mundi ranking was a shortcut to moving up the main ranks. It let the younger cultivators have a chance to quickly enter the ranks, build their self-confidence, and accumulate battle experience.
Tianming remembered that Gong Shuding had a position on the list as well. His grandfather and grandmother did, too. However, they hadnât fought for so long that their ranks kept dropping. But after the strength they had showed today, their ranking should go back up again!
Just how important was the ranking list? Even authority within the council factored it in alongside qualifications and contributions.
Ebonia was a fair world that used âmight is rightâ as its foundation.
Lin Xiong had only casually mentioned the minor reges mundi ranking before Dongshen Yue had rejected it, so they didnât go into too much detail. However, Tianming promised himself to look into the finer details himself.
âDad said the Infinitum Bodhimanda has something very important that can only be obtained if you become first place on the reges mundi ranking. Thus, I need to enter the ranks. The protective mechanism for those under a hundred is the bridge to my goal. Furthermore, earning glory for the Lin Clan will probably also count as helping him with his regrets, right? After all, the title of Lin Muâs son is still a joke outside. I can also increase my battle experience.â So far, he had only met the geniuses of the Lin Clan. Then he suddenly recalled someone: Lin Jianxing! He was also someone under a hundred years old and an orderan.
âGrandma said that itâs the orderans that shine in the minor reges mundi ranking. So heâll definitely join as well.â Although Tianming was only thirty, he was already preparing to compete with the hundred-year-old geniuses of Ebonia. His fellow peers in their thirties? There was no challenge to be found there! Feiling and the rest could easily wipe out those of that age group. To astral gods, those at that age had more or less just been born. They were babies!
âŠâŠ
The succession override was over.
âAmazing. Our plan not only raised the reputation of Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue, but it also helped their grandson clear his name and show his talent. It also made the sixth branch publicly associate with them.â Lin Xiaoyunâs face was greener than a leaf.
By his side, Lin Wuyiâs face was even more purple than an eggplant. She bit her lips so hard that she almost drew blood. âWeâre like clowns right now,â she coldly said.
âI really didnât expect that we planned so much, only for Lin Feng to mess it all up. If he hadnât won, Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue wouldnât have been able to do anything! Heâs just a kid!â Lin Xiaoyun looked at the youth in question. He could still clearly remember how his dear daughter had lost to him, and how wretched it had been.
âIâll leave first.â Lin Wuyi could no longer take it and turned to leave. She probably had to apologize to Lin Jie as well.
âWuyi, you canât be blamed for thisââ Lin Wuyi was gone before Lin Xiaoyun could finish his sentence.
âDad,â a gloomy voice suddenly said from next to him. He looked at Lin Jianjia, who had an overcast expression with a hint of viciousness within.
âLin Xiaogui left alone. Sheâs going to the Caeli Vault right now. Lin Wuxing from the Flower of Ebony is waiting along her path in ambush! He is an orderan, and Lin Xiaogui doesnât have a mini ship so sheâll die without a trace the moment he makes his move!â
