You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 292 - 57, Divine List
"Increased so much?"
Lin Yue was taken aback.
The enhancement in brute strength alone was far superior to before, and his improvement was nearly as effective as eighty to ninety percent of Xiahou Shou's cultivation results!
In theory, the Earth Element physique could reach up to fifty percent of the Barbarian God Body. He originally thought achieving the theoretical maximum would be commendable.
It should be noted that this body refining technique was originally created for the Barbarian God Body. Other Earth Element physiques were not as compatible, so achieving fifty percent effectiveness was already the limit.
"How can it be so high?"
Lin Yue found it hard to believe, "Even if my pain tolerance is higher, it should only mean faster completion of cultivation, but the effect is almost comparable to the Barbarian God Body?"
After pondering for a while, he had a faint guess in his mind.
"The Ancient God's Way, the path of cultivation towards the transformation into an Ancient God Spirit, and I possess the Earth Phase physical body..."
"Earth Emperor Essence, said to be a minuscule essence of the Earth Emperor of Ancient God Spirits, created the Barbarian God Body..."
Lin Yue came to some understanding, "This Ancient God's Way is indeed a transformation towards Ancient God Spirit, though only a lower version, but the Barbarian God Body forged by Earth Emperor Essence is just a low version too..."
When Xiahou Shou created this technique, he also experimented with other cultivators, which is why he speculated that the highest theoretical attainment was fifty percent.
If it weren't for the Ancient God's Way, it would indeed be so.
After all, sixteen hundred years ago, there was no Ancient God's Way, and even the Divine Emperor was nowhere to be found.
"Well."
Lin Yue smiled slightly, "This way, even if I can't find the Earth Emperor Essence, it won't matter."
The gap between ten percent and fifty percent is vast, even potentially leading to being overwhelmed in close combat.
But the gap between ten percent and eighty to ninety percent is negligible, possibly nullified by some weapon advantage.
"In these two months, after two rounds of Martial Art Shell, I created two Ultimate True Skills, and Fire Spreading has also grown stronger..."
Lin Yue smiled slightly, "However, I need to first confirm my current strength."
He flipped his hand, and a stone token appeared in it.
It was a World Token.
However, this was another World Token.
"I'll create a smurf account and give it a try."
Lin Yue immediately infused Primordial Power into the World Token, and then his Divine Soul actively merged a strand of consciousness into it.
With his Divine Soul evolved to this level, even if his consciousness entered the Illusion World of Tianxia Building, his body in reality wouldn't fall into a coma. Handling both simultaneously was not difficult; it simply required his Heart Power to focus on one side, leaving his physical actions in reality basic.
...
This time entering Tianxia Building, he was far stronger than when he came a few months ago.
His cultivation alone had progressed from the second layer of Four Symbols Heaven Barrier to the Four Symbols Peak, elevating his strength to potentially break through to Tianxia Building's Third Layer.
Moreover, he had also developed the Ultimate Martial Arts True Skill, and his physical foundation had greatly improved!
After all, this was the physical foundation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the Perfect level.
Even without using any Killing Skill, he could defeat his former self from a few months ago with brute strength alone.
And he was stronger than Baili Fengzhi during the Inner Hall assessment.
"Too easy."
Lin Yue casually passed the basic test, as the ethereal overlapping voice once again droned on about Tianxia Building's rules.
He didn't change his clothes, continuing to wear the simple white robe provided by Tianxia Building, only donning a white mask, slightly altering his physique to be leaner, increasing his height by half an inch, changing his hair to a grayish-white, deepening his voice, and concealing his aura before finishing.
The ethereal overlapping voice spoke once more:
"The title prepared for you by Tianxia Building is set, you may choose one from 'Dragon Slayer,' 'Undying King,' 'Maimon of the Broken Mountains'."
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh? Maimon of the Broken Mountains?"
Tianxia Building indeed knew a lot, and had a knack for naming.
The title Maimon of the Broken Mountains was likely because he cultivated the Three Thousand Hell Body and practiced the Earth Phase Skill, making the name appropriate.
"Just right, I need to conceal my true strength for a long time besides the Prince Trial; the Prince Trial isn't public, only the Crown Prince knows. I'll use this title in the future."
Lin Yue didn't hesitate and chose the title Maimon of the Broken Mountains immediately.
In the competition between princes, if one's trump card was completely revealed, the enemies could exploit that knowledge against him.
Keeping trump cards hidden was a necessity.
As for the Crown Prince?
According to the Second Prince, the Crown Prince seemed indifferent even about the Divine Emperor's death, so why would he care about his mere strength?
"Enter Tianxia Building."
...
The reach of Tianxia Building spanned the land, and Di Hong City housed its main tower.
Forces from all sides had gathered, waiting for any strong practitioner to appear in Tianxia Building, promptly reporting such occurrences.
Especially the three major rankings set by Tianxia Building, which countless eyes watched closely.
The Divine List, the Sky-reaching List.
The Sky-reaching List recorded the strongest individuals in Tianxia Building, remaining quite secretive, only accessible at a hefty price.
In contrast, the Divine List was public, documenting those below Great Cultivator level.
Each time the Divine List changed, Tianxia Building would publish a volume for sale, announcing it to the world.
Most practitioners longed to be renowned, dreaming of entering the Divine List. Yet, just qualifying for the Divine List was incredibly stringent.
There was only one requirement—
That was an invincible strength below the Great Cultivator level.
Though multiple invincible existences seemed paradoxical, they were exceedingly rare to encounter, with fewer practitioners on the Divine List than the entire Great Cultivator populace.
Ordinarily, entering Tianxia Building's Third Layer indeed deserved the title of invincible below the Great Cultivator.
It should be known that even Dawn Platform boasted thousands of Four Symbols Peak cultivators, with numbers in the tens of thousands throughout Jingzhou, let alone the world!
Among so many Four Symbols Peak cultivators, the most outstanding few were naturally invincible.
On April twelfth.
In front of Tianxia Building in Di Hong City, the colossal stele displayed title rankings of the Divine List, with the first rank in pure gold, and the following names gradually shifting red.
"Hmm? The Divine List changed! Now it's twenty-eight people, one more added!"
"Maimon of the Broken Mountains? Never heard of this title, where did they emerge from?"
"Probably just appeared today, report it at once."
"Just verified, this person's Heavenly Ascension Test was double difficulty, likely their second time in Tianxia Building."
"No matter the scenario, this person must have entered Tianxia Building's Third Layer for the first time; Tianxia Building wouldn't let the same individual occupy two spots."
"Investigate immediately, figures like this certainly aren't ordinary Loose Cultivators."
Suddenly, news of changes in the Divine List swiftly reached all forces in Di Hong City.
Great Cultivators couldn't wield Heaven and Earth Law; some special places in Great Yong even repelled them, thus making strong individuals below them very valuable.
The instructions from all sides were simple: investigate and continue monitoring shifts in the Divine List.
"The ranking starts climbing!"
"Twenty-three now, meaning Maimon of the Broken Mountains started winning."

"Changed again, now in the top twenty!"
"At least three or four consecutive victories achieved."
"Changed so soon again? Thirteenth spot? No doubt, it's the five consecutive victories in Tianxia Building's Third Layer."
"Hmm? Stopped?"
"Indeed, given the doubled difficulty of the Heavenly Ascension Test, hesitating is natural."
"Regardless, ranking thirteenth on the Divine List is already terrifying."
That day, messages rapidly reached the highest echelons of various powers in Di Hong City, causing a tremendous uproar.
The title Maimon of the Broken Mountains circulated throughout the land in just a single day.
By evening, Tianxia Building even distributed the new issue of "The Divine List Detailed Explanation."
...
"The Divine List changed?"
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at the copy of the Divine List Detailed Explanation that Baili Fengzhi had just handed him, and asked with curiosity, "Did someone new enter the Third Layer of Tianxia Building?"
