Chapter 243: The Craze for Ranking! Changes in the East Sea!
The Soul Dueling Ranking suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
Since almost all Soul Dueling Machines on the market are mass-produced and can only meet the needs of Nascent Soul stage cultivators at most, they automatically adjust the difficulty level for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
In essence, all cultivators face the same difficulty level.
Therefore, unlike the ranking list of the Phoenix Pavilion, there is no distinction based on different realms.
All cultivators share three ranking lists.
They are divided into the Personal Ranking, the Hunting Ranking, and the Endless Ranking!
Cultivators challenge the levels in the Soul Dueling Machine individually, and the better their performance, the higher their ranking on the Personal Ranking, which reflects their personal strength.
The Hunting Ranking is based on the names of the teams that successfully clear the levels.
It does not reflect individual strength but requires high teamwork. At least... random teams formed by strangers cannot make it onto the ranking list!
The Endless Ranking is specifically designed for the newly introduced Endless Mode - the "Conquest of the Demon Race" version.
In the Endless Mode, cultivators can form their own armies and engage in battles with thousands of Demon Race members, experiencing the atmosphere of a real battlefield.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge sensation.
Countless people were discussing it!
...
At a certain Immortal Gate.
"Senior Zhang, the Soul Dueling Ranking has been released. Aren't you going to compete for a higher ranking?"
"Ranking? What's the point? I've said it so many times, don't pay attention to these empty titles..."
"But that guy who stole your fiancée before is on the ranking list, right above you, acting arrogantly. He even named himself 'Zhang Yang is a dog'!"
"What? That's outrageous! Bring me the Soul Dueling Machine!"
...
In the mountains and rivers, several Astral Projection stage Almighties were enjoying tea together.
"I heard it's been lively outside these days!" a female powerhouse smiled.
"Three Purities Saint Child has come up with something new. He added a ranking system to the original Soul Dueling Machine. Many young people are busy competing for higher rankings!" someone responded nearby.
"It's good to be young. They have enthusiasm. Unlike us, we're all old and unwilling to fight for these empty titles!" The female cultivator shook her head and laughed lightly, with an appearance of seeing through worldly matters. She had a beautiful complexion and an ethereal aura, exuding an otherworldly charm.
As soon as she finished speaking, her communication token trembled violently.
Senior Disciple: "Master, I've surpassed you on the Soul Dueling Ranking!"
Second Disciple: "Master, I've also surpassed you!"
Third Disciple: "Haha, Master, you're falling behind!"
Fourth Disciple: "Wait for me, senior brothers, I'll surpass Master soon too!"
The female cultivator: "!!!"
She had black lines all over her head, clenching her fists tightly.
These unruly disciples!
How dare they disrespect their master and ancestors!
She suddenly stood up and left without looking back.
"Fellow Daoists, why are you suddenly leaving?" several cultivators behind her asked in succession.
"To compete for a higher ranking!"
The female cultivator gritted her teeth. A tiger doesn't show its might, but does she look like a sick cat to them?
How dare these brats step on her and act so recklessly!
Lady Yu Jin, as a prominent figure in the South State cultivation world, how can she continue to thrive if people find out that her disciples are oppressing her like this?
No, it's not possible!
We must let them know why I am their master!
...
Because all cultivators of different realms share the same ranking list.
Moreover, when Wang Xiu designed this list, it was not meant to create an elite ranking list like the one in the Phoenix Pavilion, which has limited spots.
In fact, this is an overall ranking list.
Anyone who has a challenge record in the Soul Dueling Machine will be ranked on it.
Everything is arranged by the runes themselves.
Therefore, it is easy to see multiple generations of master and disciple on the Soul Dueling List.
Inside the Soul Dueling Machine, everyone can only display the strength of the Nascent Soul realm.
As a result, it is inevitable that there will be cases where some junior disciples with astonishing potential have better records than their masters or even ancestors!
In this way, those motivated by this list are not just young people.
A large number of older cultivators also participate, making it lively.
The Soul Dueling Machine is also becoming increasingly scarce. It is said that some people have offered sky-high prices on the black market, but very few transactions have actually been made.
After all, it is extremely difficult to obtain a Soul Dueling Machine!
Only a fool would sell it!
...
Three Purities Immortal Gate, Thunder Sound Peak.
"Daughter, have something to eat and take a break!" Lin Yuyi entered Ji Zidian's room with a tray of delicious fruits.
"Put it there, mother. I'll eat after I finish this level!"
Ji Zidian's attention was completely focused on the Soul Dueling Machine, and his clear eyes were filled with a serious fighting spirit. "Li Xuanqi, in terms of talent and strength at the same realm... I may not be inferior to you! You can't suppress me on the ranking list!"
...
The Soul Dueling Machine is very popular. In various places in the South State, whether they are geniuses from Immortal Gates or disciples of powerful Independent Cultivators, they are all desperately trying to climb the rankings.
Even the powerful Independent Cultivators themselves are included.
In the eyes of countless people, the value of these rankings has surpassed many of the Phoenix Pavilion's rankings.
Because this is a true reflection of combat power.
Those who rank high on this list are not weaklings.
Many previously unknown Independent Cultivators have shone in the challenges of the Soul Dueling Machine, attracting the attention of various powerful forces and being recruited with generous conditions, becoming honored guests.
They have no background, no resources, and rely solely on their own efforts.
They used to have little fame.
Even the rankings published by the Phoenix Pavilion and major Immortal Gates rarely include them.
But the Soul Dueling Machine has made them achieve greatness, allowing them to compete with the geniuses from the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land and shine brightly.
Of course, these are still the minority.
Independent Cultivators are still Independent Cultivators, and often a bit of luck is enough to block their path.
Without resources, even the best talent is useless.
There are very few who can break through from desolate lands, and those who can are all ruthless individuals.
After several months of changes, the spots on the Soul Dueling List gradually stabilized.
Those at the top are still the top geniuses of the major Immortal Gates.
There are former Venerable ranking powerhouses, Gold Core ranking geniuses, and of course, the older generation powerhouses of the Almighty ranking.
This makes countless people sigh, no matter how the list changes, the strongest are still those people.
After some time, the wind slowly changed.
"Recently, it seems that there haven't been any major changes on the individual rankings!"
"Those who could climb up have already done so. Those who can't, no matter how hard they try, it's useless. Their strength has reached its limit, and the rankings won't easily change anymore..."
"Moreover, not many people care about the individual rankings now. They're all going for the Endless Rankings!"
In teahouses and taverns all over, wherever there are crowds and liveliness, people are discussing.
The Endless Mode was created by Three Purities Saint Child.
Many people have entered to experience it.
They were scared out of their wits!
Even though they were prepared, gathering hundreds of people and charging in with great momentum.
But faced with the overwhelming tide of demons.
They were immediately crushed by the loss of their fighting spirit, filled with fear, unable to persist.
It's too terrifying!
It's like being pulled from a peaceful place and thrown into a battlefield of hell.
More horrifying than any life-or-death battle they have experienced before, there is no sign of hope, with an endless stream of demons, making it despairing, without a glimmer of vitality.
Like sifting through sand, this mode eliminated a large number of people as soon as it was introduced.
Many people were directly traumatized and no longer dared to try.
But more people, after enduring the initial blow, gritted their teeth and continued, determined to overcome their inner fears and become familiar with the battlefield.
Because they knew that this day would eventually come, and the timid only have a dead end.
"Don't charge blindly, we need to set up formations!"
"The Demon Race camp may seem chaotic, but there is actually a hidden order. Demons with higher bloodline intensity naturally have a suppression effect on demons with lower bloodline intensity. They can be well commanded. We must also act with moderation!"
"Don't rush, take it slow, we still have time, anyway, we won't really die. If you have any ideas, feel free to try!"
...
Many people gradually realized the true purpose of Three Purities Saint Child creating this mode and felt grateful.
This opportunity to gain valuable battle experience without paying a price is truly precious!
At a certain Immortal Gate.
A vast open space, densely packed with various grand and new buildings.
Capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.
It is the newly built internet cafe.
"Be careful, there are lurking Voldemort over there, First and Second Teams, prepare - use the Mountain Shaking Curse to force them out!"
"The front line, form a formation, activate the defensive Law Weapon!"
"Zhang Junior Brother, those few Flame Crow Demons are left to you. You must suppress them. Their destructive power is too strong, we can't let them unleash it recklessly!"
"The rest of you, charge with me, break their formation!"
"Great! Just like that!"
"Keep charging, we're about to break the record and surpass the South Pole Immortal Gate!"
All the geniuses are full of fighting spirit, extremely excited, their eyes bloodshot, their bodies filled with determination.
They have been immersed in this battlefield for a full seven days and nights, countless failures, countless team wipes, witnessing countless bloodshed, learning countless lessons.
Gradually developing an iron-blooded resolve.
"These kids have caught up with a good era!" From a high place, an Almighty of an Immortal Gate hides in the void, secretly observing this place, sighing with emotion.
"Yes, unlike us back then? We crawled out of piles of dead bodies time and time again, only then did we summarize some life-saving experiences..." Another person spoke, full of nostalgia and envy in their eyes. If they had a Soul Dueling Machine like this back then, perhaps many more of their brothers and friends could have survived!
...
The cultivation world of the South State has entered a rapidly advancing era.
Almost everyone's strength is skyrocketing.
During this period, the cultivation world is unusually peaceful.
In the past, there would occasionally be incidents of Demonic Cultivators causing trouble and the like.
But now, they have all disappeared without a trace.
There is no other reason, because all the disciples of the righteous path have entered a virtuous cycle.
Breakthrough - Increase strength - Get stuck - Obtain resources - Increase strength - Breakthrough again!
When all the disciples of the righteous path have become accustomed to high-intensity and legion-style combat,
They realized that Demonic Cultivators... are really nothing.
What fierce and evil beings?
They have no organization, no discipline, and no firm will.
At most, they are just a little more cunning.
But in front of the true Demon Race, they are nothing.
They can only be used to exchange resources with the sect!
According to statistics, during this period... all kinds of wanted orders issued by the Immortal Alliance have been taken!
Those demonic cultivators who were listed in the wanted orders either died or disappeared for countless years. The remaining ones are hiding and dare not show their faces, no longer as arrogant as before.
Even the [South State Gold Core Demonic Cultivator Group] has fallen silent.
In just one month, there have been thirteen fishing incidents. The disciples of the righteous path somehow infiltrated the chat group and lured people out for offline killings with various excuses.
Just to take their heads and exchange them for resources.
And then continue to climb the rankings!
Those demonic cultivators are now filled with fear!
Even the group owner, [Great Mighty Virtuous Blessed Savior Compassionate Venerable], has gone silent, either because of some news or trouble. There has been no movement from him recently.
Although the disciples of the righteous path are somewhat regretful about this situation, they are also pleased.
After all, taking the heads of demonic cultivators is the fastest way to obtain resources, but it is not the only way.
Next.
Three Purities Immortal Gate has released exciting news again.
On the basis of the original Soul Dueling Machine, Three Purities Saint Child has once again added various machines such as [Dan Xuan Machine], [Yan Zhen Machine], [Shen Xiao Machine], [Body Tempering Machine], etc.
These machines are specifically designed to hone various cultivation paths such as alchemy, formations, thunder, body refining, and puppets.
This has caused an extremely intense reaction.
Some cultivators who specialize in alchemy and formations feel isolated these days because they are not good at combat and cannot communicate with other cultivators.
They are anxious as they watch the people around them rapidly improve.
Now, they can finally see the light after enduring the darkness.
"Three Purities Saint Child is truly a sage in this world!"
"Hahaha, I have been looking forward to this for a long time. I have always fantasized about whether the Soul Dueling Machine could have a version for pill refining. I didn't expect Three Purities Saint Child to actually make it!"
"Three Purities Saint Child is so mysterious. Could he really be capable of anything? His proficiency in formations must be at the Grandmaster level!"
Countless geniuses marvel at Three Purities Saint Child. They had only heard about his vast knowledge and talents before, but now they truly understand. How could he create such a powerful Soul Dueling Machine if he hadn't reached the pinnacle of a certain path?
...
However, tranquility is always short-lived.
Just five months after the release of the new version of Soul Dueling Machine, such as [Dan Xuan Machine], a shocking piece of news reached the cultivation world of South State.
"Junior Brother!" Xiao Qingyu appeared outside Wang Xiu's courtyard, voluptuous and alluring, her curves more mature and enticing. But her face was filled with anxiety.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
Wang Xiu walked out slowly, his figure becoming more upright and tall, losing some of his youthful charm and becoming more mature.
His aura became even more settled and solid, completely integrated.
By developing various Soul Dueling Machines, he constantly reflected on and tempered the various Divine Ability Dao methods he had mastered. His foundation became more profound, and there seemed to be a faint glow enveloping him at all times, mysterious and extraordinary.
"Master wants you to go to Dragon Head Peak. Something big has happened! There are anomalies on Sea Demon Island..." Xiao Qingyu said urgently, her expression serious.
Wang Xiu was momentarily stunned, then immediately set off without hesitation, heading to Dragon Head Peak with Xiao Qingyu.
