    Murong Xingqiao looked at Li Yu and felt proud of him.


    Li Yu was worthy of everyone’s bow and worship.


    Hence, she bowed and cupped her hands to Li Yu as well.


    At the sight of this, the surrounding guards knelt on one knee and kowtowed to Li Yu in unison.


    “Elder Nie, do I still have a chance to defeat Li Yu?”


    In the square, Ji Qinn listened to the voice that reverberated through the area. Looking at the scene of ten thousand people kowtowing, he was rather shocked.


    He was born into a family of emperors, and it wasmon for him to be kowtowed by tens of thousands of people. However, those people only bowed due to their status, like greetings out of normalcy.


    Meanwhile, these people were like devout believers kowtowing to the god in their hearts.


    Those sincere words and sincere voices seemed to be able to stir up the power of heaven and earth topact a sense of reverence.


    When he thought of Ye Qiu’s conversation with everyone not long ago, it struck him more.


    He assumed that Li Yu was merely strong, but he did not expect Li Yu’s involvement in that many earth-shattering events.


    Compared to Li Yu, he was simply not worthy of being the first on the Xi Liang Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings.


    “Well, there’s still a chance. Your talent isn’t inferior to his, but you have to work harder in your cultivation!” Old Nie said earnestly.


    Despite saying that, Elder Nie thought otherwise.


    Not only Ji Qinn, but even his old self also could notpare to Li Yu.


    He had heard of the demon child in the past.


    He guessed that the demon child’s strength had been greatly reduced after being sealed for countless years.


    However, this seventeen-year-old kid, Li Yu, could kill the demon child and destroy a sect.


    Such strength was definitely a freak amongst monsters.


    He had never seen anything like this in his thousands of years of life.


    It could be said that the difference between Ji Qinn and Li Yu was not just a hundred million bits.


    However, in order to not break Ji Qinn’s confidence, he could only lie.


    <i>Hmm, I guess it’s a white lie!</i>


    “Really?” Elder Nie’s words made Ji Qinn feel a little better.


    Hot-blooded feelings slowly surged into his heart, and his fighting spirit was reignited as he looked at Li Yu, who was kowtowed by everyone in the distance.


    <i>I must work hard from now on. Defeating him shall be my only goal in life!</i>?Ji Qinn thought.


    …


    At the same time, the news of fifth ce on the Heavenly Dao Rankings was announced.


    Divine Weapon Ranking # 5: Blood Spirit Sword


    Current Owner: Blood Spirit Monarch


    Origin: Blood Demon Cave


    Reward: Low-grade Immortal Art, Blood Shadow Demon Art. Natural Spirit Herb—Blood Bodhi


    “Blood Spirit Monarch?”


    “Another greater demon is now in fifth!”


    “Heavens, this fifth ce is actually rewarded with an Immortal-tier art!”


    “This greater demon’s name sounds powerful!”


    “But I’ve never heard of the Blood Spirit Monarch before!”


    “Yeah, I’ve never heard of the Blood Demon Cave either!”


    “It might be a once sealed ancient greater demon. It must have juste out!”


    “In an era where demons are rampant, it’s not surprising for a new greater demon to appear!”


    Everyone talked animatedly. Although they were surprised to see the Blood Spirit Monarch, no one really panicked.


    They knew they had someone to rely on.


    And that was Li Yu!


    At that moment, Li Yu’s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the Blood Spirit Monarch’s name.


    <i>Hmm, another EXP ATM!</i>?Li Yu thought.


    …


    In the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Perfected Yu Hua was also puzzled when the Blood Spirit Monarch’s name appeared.


    They knew about the ck Sea Mystic Flood Dragon on the rankings. It should be the strongest demon in the Great Xia Dynasty currently.


    It lived in thergestke in the Yun Prefecture, the ck Sea, and was extremely difficult to deal with.


    Hidden in the ck Sea, it was even stronger than Shi Potian. It was not easy to eliminate it.


    Previously, Perfected Yu Hua traveled there personally but had not been able to get rid of it. He had even provoked it to create a monstrous wave that almost implicated themoners again.


    The Clear Void Holy Land of the Huaxia State had already promised to send experts to subdue that greater demon in the near future.


    Unexpectedly, before the ck Sea Flood Dragon was eliminated, another Blood Spirit Monarch of the Blood Demon Cave had surfaced. Furthermore, no one had heard of it before. They felt that it was another enormous hidden threat.


    “It’s probably a newly emerged greater demon!”mented Elder Taiwu.


    “From the looks of it, the Heavenly Dao reward seems to be flying toward the Qing Prefecture.”


    “Qing Prefecture is quite the producer of monsters!”


    “We’ll pay a visit to Qingyun Sectter and investigate the Blood Spirit Monarch in Qing Prefecture!”


    …


    At the same time, in a hidden underground cave in the area adjoining the Qing Prefecture and the Yun Prefecture.


    The blood in a giant blood pool rolled as ferocious ghostly figures struggled in the blood, letting out ghost-like wails.


    Scarlet bloody glimmer and the smell of blood filled the entire cave, making it seem like purgatory.


    A demonic-looking man floated in the air above the blood pool. His figure was illusory at times and corporeal at other times, a strange sight to behold.


    He was the Blood Spirit Monarch, someone who had been sealed for tens of thousands of years.


    If he hadn’t received the help of that Young Master, he would still be floating in that formless mass until now, and he would be unaware of the passage of time.


    At that moment, two golden lights flew through the stone wall.


    One fused into his be while the othernded in his palm.


    After a moment, his eyes opened abruptly, and a smile surfaced on his face. However, this smile seemed rather sinister on his face.


    “Divine Weapon Rankings? Bwahahaha, not bad. An immortal art, Blood Shadow Demon Art, and a natural spirit herb, Blood Bodhi. Even the heavens are helping me!” The Blood Spirit Monarch was euphoric.


    Although he did not know about the current appearance of the Divine Weapon Rankings, he knew about the Heavenly Dao Rankings from before.


    Furthermore, when he had justprehended the Blood Shadow Demon Art, he had instantly learned that this was the reward from the Heavenly Dao Rankings.


    He had just stepped into the Profound Void Martial Stage, and his cultivation was still unstable. With this Blood Bodhi, he could stabilize his cultivationpletely. He could also establish an excellent foundation that would improve his cultivation in the future.


    Furthermore, his powers could undergo a metamorphosis with this Blood Bodhi, reaching a new level.


    Not only that, but the Blood Shadow Demon Art seemed to be tailor-made for him.


    It simply multiplied his strength like a tiger with wings.


    <i>Now that everything is ready, all that’s left is a powerful furnace!?</i>The Blood Spirit Demon Emperor thought to himself.


    A name surfaced in his mind—Human Body.


    At this moment, a stooped figure walked in and bowed. “Congrattions, Your Majesty, for obtaining the Heavenly Dao’s reward!”


    “Have you found out the Qingyun Sect’s location?” the Blood Spirit Monarch asked inly.


    “I found it! It’s in the Qing Prefecture, on the Nine-tailed Mountain beside Luo Water Town!” The stooped figure replied.


    “Very good!” A sinister smile returned to the Blood Spirit Monarch’s lips.


    His current body was condensed from blood sma and not his actual body.


    Although this state did not affect his power, he knew very well that he could not enter the Tribtion realm in the Blood Spirit state.


    Therefore, he needed to possess a furnace in order to fully resurrect himself.


    Of course, finding a suitable furnace was not easy.


    Those Dao Bodies, Spirit Bodies, Sword Bodies, and other special physiques had suppressive and bacsh effects on his blood spirit. They were not suitable for his possession.


    Instead, the most ordinary human body was the most suitable choice.


    He did not fancy any ordinary human body, however.


    Fortunately, the 3000 Physique Rankings that appeared not long ago allowed him to discover the perfect furnace—Li Yu.


    The body surpassed the Connate Sword Body and the Grand Yan Dao Body to rank at the top.


    The body even helped Li Yu obtain an additional reward from the Heavenly Dao, one evaluated by the Heavenly Dao to beparable to a god.


    To him, it was simply a furnace bestowed by the heavens.


    If his blood spirit fused with Li Yu’s body, he could definitely transform into the most powerful lifeform in the world.


    “To the Qingyun Sect!” The Blood Spirit Monarch stood up as his blood aura surged.
