After the new rankings surfaced, a few rows of clear, gilded words condensed below.

On the Human Sons of Heaven Rankings, human elites below the age of 200 could enter the rankings.

Demons below the age of 500 could enter the Demon Sons of Heaven Rankings.

‘The two rankings were based on the power level and potential of the various geniuses. They were ranked from low to high, and each person could obtain the Heavenly Dao reward by entering the top hundred.

The rankings were refreshed every day, and the rewards were distributed once every year.

“It’s suddenly gone from the country rankings to the global rankings! I suspect that the Heavenly Dao Rankings are stirring up trouble, but I don’t have any evidence!” Li Yu joked with a smile.

Amid the upcoming opening of the Lingtian Mystic Realm, the sudden announcement of the Human Sons of Heaven Rankings was definitely adding fuel to the fire for this trip to the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

Li Yu did not need his brains to know that most human geniuses would surely gather in the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

‘The appearance of such rankings would surely intensify the conflict between the various elites.

After all, everyone had potential. Who would accept losing to anyone?

If there was no ranking to reflect one’s power level and standing among others, everyone would seem to respect each other.

‘There might only be some disputes due to overlapping interests in the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

Now that the rankings were up, there was an additional trigger for conflicts.

Of course, Li Yu did not care about all those matters. After all, there were some paths that he had to take sooner or later.

“The Human Sons of Heaven Rankings? Haha, Senior Brother, you’re getting number one again!” Gu Yuqi remarked with a smile.

“It’s over. I think the elites of the Great Zenith Domain are going to suffer a blow!”

“Haha, that’s right. Not to mention the human elites, Senior Brother is definitely the number one among the elites of all races!” Ye Qiu and Tang Chi cheered excitedly.

“Alright, alright. Keep a low profile!” Li Yu advised in all seriousness.

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s keep a low profile!”

Almost at the same time, inside the different countries of the Huaxia continent’s northem region and the three great eternal empires of the southern region, as well as the various Holy Lands of the Great Zenith Domain, countless humans looked up at the sky in surprise at the two new rankings.

“The Human and Demon Sons of Heaven Rankings. Interesting. I wonder who will be on i

“Theard that the Holy Son of the Primordial Dao Holy Land, Chu Yunhe, is the publicly acknowledged number one prodigy. The number one spot for humans must be his!”

“That’s right. Plus, it’s said that he’s the one who spoke the mantras of the Great Dao. His cultivation seems to have already reached the Mahayana Realm. No one in the current generation can compare to him!”

“Tsk tsk, this ranking is pretty intriguing. The Holy Sons of the various Holy Lands, the prodigies of the various eternal empires and eternal families, which one of them isn’t a dragon or phoenix among men? If it weren’t for the Heavenly Dao Rankings, who would dare rank these geniuses!”

“Yep. The rankings this time will definitely be intense. I’m quite curious about the Demon side. Who will be on it?”

“Yes, the elites of the demon race on the rankings are the focus of the various Holy Lands of the human race!”

“It’s all the same. The demons probably think the same.”

Ina city in the Great Zenith Domain, countless people discussed as they looked at the rankings, their hearts filled with anticipation.

In the Primordial Dao Holy Land, the Holy Lord, Perfected Tian Hui, gave a meaningful look at the Heavenly Dao Rankings and commented, “These two rankings are worth looking forward to!”

As for Chu Yunhe, who was on Divine Son Peak, a look of anticipation flashed through his eyes when he saw the rankings.

However, he was slightly nervous.

Although he did not care much about fame and fortune, he had been addressed as the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect and the number one prodigy for many years.

He would always feel a burden in his heart carrying such a name.

He did not want to disappoint everyone, nor did he want to embarrass the orthodox sects.

After all, the five main fiend sects were becoming prosperous now.

Therefore, his biggest concern was not whether he could become the number one human but whether he could protect the top spot for the orthodox sects.

Fortunately, he had obtained inspiration from the Great Dao’s mantra that day to break through a major cultivation realm, making him feel much more at ease.

“The number one genius of the human race will surely be you, Senior Brother, the Holy Son!” Junior Brother Chen Hao declared with a smile.

“Don’t say that yet. The world is vast with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There is always a higher mountain, and there is always someone better. We still don’t know who’s number one!” Chu Yunhe waved his hand slightly and responded.

“Senior Brother, you’re being too modest. Who would dare claim to be number one if you call yourself number two? You should have confidence. If you’re not number one, I swear I’ll start walking backward!” Chen Hao assured with a firm expression.

“Don’t speak carelessly. How can you make such a vow! The words of us cultivators carry weight. The heavens and the earth can witness it. You might incur the wrath of the heavens for such reckless vows!” Chu Yunhe scolded with a grave expression.

“Hehe, I understand. I just want to say that my Senior Brother is the strongest, in my opinion. Also, you’re publicly acknowledged as the number one, so how could it be untrue?”

“It’s still too early to say. Let’s wait for the rankings to be revealed!” Chu Yunhe looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings again. “It’s about to be announced!”

At that moment, golden light converged below the Human Sons of Heaven Rankings. Under the gazes of everyone, the first name was about to appear in front of everyone.

“It’s almost here! I’m looking forward to it already!” Tang Chi hugged Ye Qiu excitedly. Ye Qiu also looked at the first name condensing on the Heavenly Dao Rankings slowly with an eager look.

“Eh?” Tang Chi and Ye Qiu almost fell and sat on the ground. The entire Qingyun Sect was also in an uproar.

Perfected Yu Hua, Perfected Taiwu, and countless others in the Great Xia Dynasty widened their eyes in shock.

‘They even thought that they had seen it wrongly. Have the Heavenly Dao Rankings announced the first place?

However, it was not after a closer look.

Li Yu was only in the hundredth place.

How was that possible!

Human Rankings # 100: Li Yu

Cultivation: Soul Formation Initial Stage

Origin: Myriad Era Dynasty’s Li Family

1

Reward: Increase enlightenment and aptitude by one level

Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was someone else with the same name, a false alarm.

“Hahaha, I knew it. How could Eldest Senior Brother only be in the 100th place!” Ye Qiu laughed.

“I knew it wasn’t our Eldest Senior Brother with one look!” Tang Chi acted to be wise after the fact.

“Stop right there. You were the loudest just now!” Ye Qiu mercilessly criticized him.

Li Yu smiled. Actually, he was shocked when he saw it earlier, but he immediately believed it was someone with the same name.

After all, the rankings covered a large area. It was normal for different people to have the same name. It was not like his name was patented.

“Increase enlightenment and aptitude by one level? The reward this time is not physical?”

Many people were surprised by the rewards from the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

However, the eyes of some cultivators with higher cultivation levels sparkled.

“The reward this time is appealing!”

“That’s right. This reward is more useful than the previous physical items distributed on the rankings for those elites!”

“Yes, the geniuses who can be on the rankings are predominantly from large family clans and sects. They do not lack cultivation techniques, pills, or magic treasures. Plus, these elites are dragons and phoenixes among men. Their aptitudes are already extraordinary. Ordinary pills and spirit herbs

probably have little effect on their aptitude and enlightenment. Such rewards directly increase that, making it more precious than countless spirit pills and herbs.”

“Indeed, especially in terms of enlightenment level. For cultivators who have reached the Soul Formation Stage, enlightenment is even more important. It can be said that enlightenment is the ceiling of a cultivators cultivation. Increasing one’s enlightenment level is equivalent to increasing the upper

limit of one’s cultivation. Directly improving one’s enlightenment is what countless cultivators can only dream of!”

“If the 100th place already has such a reward, I’m really looking forward to the next person on the list!”
