Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 358 - 356: Top Two on the East Cang Stele List! A Stone Monument Light Pillar Over 20 Meters! Drawing the Covetous Eyes of Eastern Territory’s Pinnacle Experts
After pondering for a while, Lu Ye felt it was quite possible.
East Cang City was originally established because of the descent of that ancient and mysterious stone tablet, and eventually, it became the most prosperous place in the Eastern Territory.
"Does the meaning of this Seven Stars Map imply that I can light up all seven stone tablets?"
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, but what conditions would be considered successful?
Surely, it wasn’t possible to somehow drag that stone tablet home, as it wouldn’t fit anyway.
"Could it be that one needs to reach the top three, or even first place..."
Pondering for a while, Lu Ye thought it might indeed be possible.
Looking at the small sapling that had regained its yellowish hue, Lu Ye sent it back into the Myriad Dao Pavilion, unraveling the barrier.
After advancing to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer, the Source Qi within Lu Ye’s body was, if not a vast ocean, already a fearsome torrent!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye calculated the time; it’s been over a month since he last visited the East Cang Stone Monument in the Eastern Territory.
Now, he was somewhat eager to verify whether the effect of the East Cang Stone Monument really required reaching the top three or first place to light up the Seven Stars Map within his Dantian.
"Let’s go to East Cang City and take a look."
In the next instant, Lu Ye got up and left the cave.
...
Eastern Territory, East Cang City.
After several days, Lu Ye once again arrived inside East Cang City.
This time, Lu Ye again acted at night, looking at the cultivation ranks displayed on the East Cang Stone Monument List; the third was Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer.
The realm displayed as second was Mortal Realm Grandmaster Third Layer.
"Under fifty years old, Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second and Third Layers... It must be a prodigy from some force, leaving their mark on the monument."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye also suppressed his strength to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer...
Now that he was already at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer, and the stele list’s top three were only at the Second Layer realm, the ranking rewards behind didn’t provide much help to Lu Ye anymore.
Moreover, this time he came to verify how the East Cang Stone Monument could light up the Seven Stars Map within him, so Lu Ye no longer had the patience to slowly climb the ranks.
To be safe, Lu Ye didn’t challenge with the power of the First Layer. If he didn’t make it into the top three, he would have to wait another month.
In an instant, Lu Ye soared into the sky, simply wrote the name "Chen Beixuan" in the void before the stone tablet!
The handwriting carried immense power, instantly merging into the stone tablet...
The previously inactive stone tablet suddenly unleashed a beam of light, twenty to thirty meters high, shooting up into the sky at that moment!
Immediately, a name streaked across the sky like a swiftly moving comet, occupying the original third position of the East Cang Stone Monument in the blink of an eye.
Just a moment later, it surprisingly rose to the second position!
In an instant, a feedback from the stone monument far more powerful than from dozens of ranks flooded into Lu Ye’s body.
At the same time, the dazzling beam shot out from the East Cang Stone Monument instantly attracted the attention of many cultivators who hadn’t yet fallen asleep.
"Is that... the direction of the East Cang Stone Monument?!"
"What’s happening over there?! Such a dazzling pillar of light! Let’s go have a look..."
In an instant, large numbers of cultivators headed towards this place; everyone knew something must have happened here.
At this moment, in front of the East Cang Stone Monument, a huge light sphere enveloped Lu Ye, which was a defense barrier naturally generated by the stone monument’s insights.
Even a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer couldn’t break through it.
Inside the barrier, Lu Ye was also fully refining this feedback.
But after all, the feedback from the second place ranking was far richer than from dozens of placements lower; the Ancient Star Scripture was operating at full force, still not enough to completely digest the feedback in just a few minutes.
So, when the first wave of people arrived at East Cang Plaza, they saw at first glance the dazzling light sphere in front of the stone tablet!
"Someone is indeed climbing the ranks, but why didn’t such a commotion occur before?"
"That’s something you don’t know; such a phenomenon doesn’t occur with every person climbing the ranks. It only happens when one enters the top three, revealing the stone tablet’s light pillar."
Nearby, someone knowledgeable said.
Meanwhile, inside the light sphere, Lu Ye could also feel more and more people gathering outside.
Various gazes were cast upon him within the current light sphere.
Soon, someone noticed that the top three of the East Cang Stone Monument List, unchanged for hundreds of years, had already changed!
The three big characters "Chen Beixuan," at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer, securely occupied the second position.
"Chen Beixuan? Wasn’t this name previously somewhere around the teens? This time, he was able to rise so much and, at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer, actually defeated the previous Third Layer Grandmaster?!"
"This person must hold an earth-shattering secret!"
At the same time, various messages were quickly sent out via the Communication Jade Tokens in the hands of those who rushed to East Cang Plaza.
In a hot place.
"What, someone climbed into the top three of the East Chang Stone Monument List?! A beam of light twenty to thirty meters high was invoked?! Chen Beixuan..."
A look of incomprehension flashed in the eyes of an extremely aged elder.
The world only knows that climbing into the top three of the East Cang Stone Monument causes a light beam.
However, even reaching the third place normally only results in a one to two meter light beam appearing, the second place causing three to five meters, with over ten meters being an honor only reserved for the first place!
Yet this Chen Beixuan, ranked second, could evoke a twenty to thirty meter light beam, indicating he absolutely harbors a massive secret!
Even eight hundred years ago, Xiao Changqing, who was ranked first on the East Cang List during that millennium, fell far short!
"Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer... promising potential. Unfortunately, potential is potential; potential that cannot be realized is nothing to fear."
After pondering for a moment, this elder with a slightly fiery aura immediately left the hot place.
Meanwhile, strong forces and ancient existences in various parts of the Eastern Territory were alarmed by this news.
"What, there’s a change in the top three of the East Cang Stone Monument List?! Where on earth did this prodigy spring from?!"
Under fifty years old, reaching the top three of the East Cang List, irrespective of which prefecture, this is undeniably the mark of an absolute prodigy!
Celestial Profound Sect.
Fang Zhiyu walked out of his cave dwelling, hearing this news, felt as if he was questioning his entire existence.
He certainly was not unfamiliar with the name Chen Beixuan.
When he first tried to climb the ranks, Chen Beixuan also appeared; back then, he was only a few ranks higher than him.
And now, while Fang Zhiyu still struggled around rank twenty-seventh to twenty-eighth, arduously improving his rank, that same Chen Beixuan, who was just a few ranks apart back then, had robustly surged into the top three, and not just as a gatekeeper of the top three!
At this moment, Fang Zhiyu deeply understood what is meant by the difference between individuals indeed.
