Chapter 492: The Rankings

“How can a disciple of the Asura Dao Palace be so shameless?” Nangong Yurou said angrily, face red and flustered. “How can a man and a woman embrace in this manner?”

“Alright, both of you, stop fighting,” Tai Yiqing said. “We’re going to account for all the Desolate Ancient Pearls that the disciples collected now.”

Both of them instantly shut their mouths. Nangong Yurou glared at Miao Miao.

“Brother Ye Mo, how are your results from this trial?” Tai Yiqing asked. “How many Desolate Ancient Pearls did you manage to collect?”

Ye Mo entering the Desolate Ancient World alone with strength only in the Heaven’s Strength Realm and get out of it unscathed was proof that he was a once-in-a-lifetime talent.

With Ye Mo the only representative for the Asura Dao Palace, the disciples of the other five palaces would have schemed against him to catch him off guard. It was hard not to worry about Ye Mo falling for one of their traps.

That would have been a terrible loss for the Asura Dao Palace.

Ye Mo returning safely was already good enough. As for how many Desolate Ancient Pearls he had managed to collect, even Tai Yiqing had no clue.

“I think I did the Asura Dao Palace proud.” Ye Mo smiled. “I managed to collect 305 Desolate Ancient Pears in total.”

Nangong Yurou did not need the pearls and gave all of hers to Ye Mo.

The three members of the Asura Dao Palace gasped in shock. More than 300 Desolate Ancient Pearls – that was more than the Door of Desolation’s historical record.

“Brother Ye Mo, you were able to collect 305 Desolate Ancient Pearls?” Tai Yiqing laughed loudly. “Even our senior only managed to collect 280 of those pearls back when he participated in the Desolate Ancient World trials. You’ve really done us proud.”

“Thank you,” Ye Mo said, nodding his head.

“Were you attacked when you entered the Desolate Ancient World?” Tai Yiqing asked. “Tell me, and I’ll settle the score with all of them.”

“No one dared to attack him.” Nangong Yurou smiled ear to ear. “You’ve no idea how cool he looked inside.”

As she spoke, the Six Light Formation closed completely. The Elder slowly descended and said, “The Desolate Ancient World trial has come to an end. Disciples in possession of more than 100 Desolate Ancient Pearls, please step forward.”

In the Desolate Ancient World, disciples able to collect more than a hundred Desolate Ancient Pearls would be considered fighters of genuine strength and ability.

Mu Lin of the Human Dao Palace, Gu Yuan of the Hell Dao Palace, Tai Yan of the Heaven Dao Palace, Gui Che of the Angry Spirit Dao Palace, Huang Zu of the Beast Dao Palace and Ye Mo of the Asura Dao Palace slowly approached the Elder.

Mu Lin of the Human Dao Palace took out 135 Desolate Ancient Pearls.

Gu Yuan of the Hell Dao Palace took out 130 pearls.

Tai Yan of the Heaven Dao Palace took out 135 pearls.

Gui Che of the Angry Spirit Dao Palace took out 139 pearls.

Huang Zu of Beast Dao Palace took out 135 pearls.

Seeing the results of the respective newcomers of the various Dao Palaces, the disciples of the Human Dao Palace, Heaven Dao Palace and Beast Dao Palace all smiled smugly. Regardless of Ye Mo’s result, they would all be able to rank among the top three.

Most people understood that these three Dao Palaces shared friendly relations in secret. It was obvious why the strongest newcomers from each palace had the exact same number of Desolate Ancient Pearls.

Per the rules of the trials, the top three ranking was to be decided based on the number of Desolate Ancient Pearls before anyone was rewarded with a treasure weapon. And now the three of them all had the same number of pearls. It had to be intentional. Even the Elder couldn’t hide a frown at seeing the results.

But he was ultimately still the Elder of the Inner Peak – he wasn’t going to stoop to their level and argue with these disciples.

“I’ve collected 305 Desolate Ancient Pearls,” Ye Mo said.

The crowds went silent. The disciples of the Six Dao Palaces and the Elders of the Inner Peak, still hidden in the skies, all looked on in shock.

The three newcomers from the Human Dao, Heaven Dao and Beast Dao scoffed collectively. At the same time, they couldn’t help but be impressed by Ye Mo – his show of strength had completely devastated them.

“Did I hear that correctly?” Nangong Qingxue looked at Ye Mo, a ripple sparkling in her beautiful eyes. “He really collected 305 Desolate Ancient Pearls?”

“Sister, you didn’t see how glorious Ye Mo was during the trials,” one of the newcomers said with a sigh. “After defeating Tai Yan, Heaven Dao Palace’s strongest fighter, no one else dared to fight him for the Desolate Ancient Pearls.”

The Elder in charge of hosting the trials also gasped upon seeing how many pearls Ye Mo took out. This was the most pearls that a newcomer had collected since he started hosting these trials.

“Ye Mo of the Asura Dao Palace,” he nodded his head, a smile on his face. “Not bad.”

“Elder, I still have something else to say,” Ye Mo held his hand together as he said.

“What is it?” the Elder asked with a wave of his sleeves.

“While I was inside the Desolate Ancient World, I borrowed 10 Desolate Ancient Pearls from Brother Gu Yuan.” The arena fell to silence at Ye Mo’s words. “Now, I want to return them. So, there may be some adjustments to the results.”

The wind was the only sound in the arena.

Ye Mo returning 10 Desolate Ancient Pearls to Gu Yuan meant that the three strongest newcomers from the Human, Heaven and Beast Dao Palaces were moved down from third place to fourth, missing out on the treasure weapon reward. And Gu Yuan, who was initially fourth-placed, was now ranked second.

Those three from Human, Heaven, and Beast Dao Palaces glared at Ye Mo – he was obviously targeting them.

The treasure weapons could improve their battle prowess by a whole tier. Now, Ye Mo’s single line had caused them to miss out on such an opportunity.

“Ye Mo, you’re spouting nonsense,” Beast Dao Palace’s Tai Yan shouted angrily. “Since when do you owe Gu Yuan any Desolate Ancient Pearls? We may have been your opponents during the Desolate Ancient World trials, but this is clearly unfair.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense,” Ye Mo said smugly. “You can ask Gu Yuan about it. And who are you to talk about what’s fair? You three are obviously working together.”

“Ye Mo, good on you,” Tai Yan sneered. “You’re openly targeting our three palaces. You just wait – sooner or later, you’ll pay the price for this.”

With that, he waved his sleeve and left. Mu Lin and Huang Zu both cast an evil look at Ye Mo before following Tai Yan.

Ye Mo wasn’t about to worry about threats from the likes of Tai Yan – disciples of the Asura Dao League didn’t fear anyone.

In the end, the Desolate Ancient World trials ended with Ye Mo, breaking the performance record in the history of the trials, in first place.

“Junior Ye Mo, you’ve done us proud,” Tai Yiqing said. “I’m guessing that there are already plenty of elders in the Inner Peak interested in you. But those old fools care too much about saving face – I’ll find a time and bring you into the Inner Peak and see if any of them wish to keep you as a disciple.”

Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled at her words. If he were accepted as a disciple by an elder in the Inner Peak, not only would his status rise rapidly, his future training would be much smoother.
