War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The Supreme Saint Ranking was widely acknowledged in the Dao Martial Saint Land, and its ranking would be updated once a month. A published list would be released once a month to the people on the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was published in the form of a booklet similar to magazines on earth where Duan Ling Tian was from in his past life.

For this reason, Li Feng’s name spread in Sin City, the Central Region, and the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Another sectless cultivator had appeared in the public’s eyes. Moreover, he was immediately ranked 266th on the Supreme Saint Ranking as soon as he debuted.

Everyone who had a copy of this month’s Supreme Saint Ranking list instantly learned about Li Feng. From a nobody, Li Feng became the most talked about person overnight in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Even Duan Ling Tian did not expect this to happen. Ever since he killed Yao Bu Ji, the former Leader of Ground Ax Alliance, and returned to Sin City, he had looked for another inn to stay in so he could cultivate. Now that he possessed an indigo Innate Spiritual Root, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage!

‘I won’t come out from closed-door cultivation as long I don’t break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as soon as he entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Regardless of what was happening outside and how talked about Duan Ling Tian was, it would blow over after a while.

Li Feng’s name was mentioned several times in Sin City before it gradually died down. Naturally, this was because the incident happened in Sin City and the people there were the first to know that Li Feng had killed Yao Bu Ji who was ranked at the 266th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.

However, outside of Sin City, many smaller cities were still talking about Li Feng. It was during this time that Li Feng’s name spread in the Central Region.

…

At the border of the Western Region. Inside Clarity City’s Qiu Clan’s estate.

At dawn, an old voice excitedly broke the silence in Qiu Mu Qing’s residence. “Miss Mu Qing, there’s good news!”

Naturally, the person was only standing outside Qiu Mu Qing’s residence. He did not dare to enter without her permission. The old man stood outside holding a booklet. On the cover of the booklet, the words, ‘Supreme Saint Ranking’, were written beautifully. It was the latest list of the Supreme Saint Ranking.

A few moments later, a maid walked out and said to the old man, “Elder Liang, miss invites you to come in.”

After that, the old man followed the maid into the residence of the Qiu Clan’s Young Miss, Qiu Mu Qing. He was led to the pavilion in the front yard of her residence.

As usual, Qiu Mu Qing looked delicate and ethereal like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

“Elder Liang, what good news did you bring so early in the morning?” Qiu Mu Qing asked with a smile when she saw the old man walking into the pavilion.

The old man was the Second Elder of the Dongfang Clan, Dongfang Liang. He was also one of the few Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses living in Clarity City. If people saw how respectful he was to the Qiu Clan’s Young Miss, they would be shocked.

After all, in Clarity City where Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses were rare, their statuses were extremely high. Moreover, he was not just an ordinary Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, he was the Second Elder of the Dongfang Clan. Even the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan had to be respectful to him. However, he seemed like a servant to the daughter of the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. Indeed that was the truth. Initially, Dongfang Liang had been opposed to it. However, when he realized Qiu Mu Qing did not treat him like a slave and treated him respectfully even though he had sworn on the lightning penalty oath, he gradually began to accept his role.

This was probably what the saying, ‘To win one over with kindness,’ meant.

Dongfang Liang passed the latest list of the Supreme Saint Ranking to Qiu Mu Qing and said, “Take a look, Miss Mu Qing. Look at the second page!”

Qiu Mu Qing took the booklet and flipped it to the page that Dongfang Liang mentioned. Soon after, her eyes brightened. This was because she had seen Li Feng’s name.

“Li Feng, a reclusive sectless powerhouse. Currently staying in the north of the Central Region in Sin City. He killed Yao Bu Ji who was ranked 266th on the Supreme Saint Ranking during a fight, effectively taking over his spot on the Supreme Saint Ranking!” Apart from that sentence, the entire page was filled Yao Bu Ji’s past achievements, it served as a foil to show how amazing Li Feng was. Moreover, the booklet even speculated that Li Feng’s true strength could probably rank in the top 200 of the Supreme Saint Ranking!

Central Region, Sin City! Li Feng! A Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!

Qiu Mu Qing was extremely certain this Li Feng was the man she missed. Naturally, she knew the name Li Feng was just a pseudonym. Li Feng’s real name was Duan Ling Tian. He was one of the Fire Worship Sect’s Eight Great Prodigies. He was already famous prior to this!

‘It has been quite a while since he has left, but I feel like I’ve just met him yesterday,’ Qiu Mu Qing mused inwardly as complex emotions could be seen in her eyes. If it was before, she would never believe that she would like a man whom she had only met for a day. In fact, she thought she would gradually forget about him after everything had died down and time had passed. However, it seemed like she had a hard time forgetting about him. For so many years, she had never been interested in a man, but now there was a man who was entrenched deeply in her heart. She could not let him go at all.

‘Perhaps it’s time for me to leave Clarity City,’ Qiu Mu Qing thought to herself as her eyes gleamed.

“Miss Mu Qing, do you think it’s Lord Li Feng?” Dongfang Liang could not help but ask when he saw Qiu Mu Qing had finally regained her senses. His instincts told him it was the same Li Feng who had behaved so domineeringly in the Qiu Clan back then, but he was not entirely sure.

“It’s him,” Qiu Mu Qing said with a nod, “Before he left, he told me he was going to the Central Region’s Sin City!”

Dongfang Liang could not help but gasp when he heard the confirmation from Qiu Mu Qing.

It was really him!

…

Meanwhile, in the Western Region. The latest list of the Supreme Saint Ranking was also circulating in the Fire Worship Sect, one of the three great sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Everyone in the Fire Worship Sect had heard about Li Feng now. However, none of them would ever imagine even in their wildest dreams that Li Feng was Duan Ling Tian, a true disciple of the Fire Worship Sect!

…

In Fire Worship Sect’s Azure Dragon Sanctum.

Recently, the first direct disciple, Bu Hong, of Lu Tie, the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon, had been staying in Lu Tie’s mansion.

A few days ago, a piece of news from the Central Region’s Sin City further infuriated Bu Hong. In the booklet, it was stated that he had gone to Sin City. When did he go to Sin City in the Central Region? When did he kill the brother of a deputy leader of an alliance called the Black Crow Alliance and made an enemy out of the alliance?

Although Bu Hong was not afraid of the Black Crow Alliance since he had the support of the Fire Worship Sect and the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum, he was still outraged over being wrongly accused.

“Li Feng, a reclusive sectless cultivator, had killed Yao Bu Ji who was ranked 266th on Supreme Saint Ranking and took over his place on the ranking.”

Bu Hong looked dejected as he pored over the booklet. His ranking had dropped from 421st place to the 537th place.

“It would be great if I can be like Li Feng and enter the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking and be known in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Master would’ve been proud of me. With my former Innate Spiritual Root, it would only be a matter of time before I enter the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. In fact, it’s possible that I could even rank in the top 100, top 50 or top 30 on the Supreme Saint Ranking with my indigo Innate Spiritual Root. In the Dao Martial Saint Land, I can be considered as a top prodigy,” Bu Hong muttered to himself. His eyes were bloodshot and his body trembled. He felt as though he had fallen from Heaven to Hell overnight. “It’s all gone now! All gone! It’s Duan Ling Tian’s fault. If it’s not for him, would I be in this position? Would I lose my indigo Innate Spiritual Root?”

After a while, Bu Hong fell strangely silent. He could vividly remember the scene when he fought Duan Ling Tian back then. He was extremely calm at this moment, and he was suddenly struck by an important thought.

‘Back then, when Duan Ling Tian defeated me, even if his strength was enhanced with his assist-type Divine Ability, it’s impossible for him to be stronger than me even if he has mastered all his Divine Abilities to their highest degrees. However, his attack seemed to have divine help. It was so outrageously fast that I didn’t even have time to react! Based on his strength at that time, even if he had used a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, he still wouldn’t be as strong. Now that I think about it, it’s likely that he was using a 10,000 Inscriptions Saint Sword, a Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking.’
