Open up and break into another world

Yunhe Prefecture.

Among the ten thousand and eight hundred prefectures of the First Heaven World, it could only be considered a very ordinary prefecture.

At this moment, within the power center of Yunhe Prefecture, "Yunhe City", the Ancient Pavilion gathered countless experts of the All Things Realm.

The Ancient Pavilion was one of the most supreme forces in the entire First Heaven World. The Ancient Pavilion's branch pavilions were spread throughout the ten thousand and eight hundred prefectures, responsible for compiling the All Things Rankings - Earth Ranking and Human Ranking - of each prefecture and county; while the Ancient Pavilion's main pavilion was responsible for compiling the All Things Rankings - Heaven Ranking.

Three days ago, the Yunhe Prefecture branch of the Ancient Pavilion released news that the Earth Ranking would be updated. Therefore, within Yunhe Prefecture, many top All Things Realm experts flocked to witness what changes would occur in the Earth Ranking.

These top All Things Realm experts were mostly leaders of a power, or lords of a county!

After all, there were only ten thousand Earth Ranking experts in the entire Yunhe Prefecture! Averaged across each county, there wasn't even one! If any power, or any county lord, could win over an Earth Ranking expert, it would definitely be a leap in strength!

Therefore, so many leaders and county lord-level experts personally came to the Ancient Pavilion branch to await the Earth Ranking update! If new names appeared on the Earth Ranking, these experts would probably rush to win them over at all costs!

"Since the Ancient Pavilion has announced the Earth Ranking update, it means that there must be changes in the Earth Ranking!"

"It seems like only a few hundred epochs have passed since the last Earth Ranking update, right? It's being updated so quickly again, it seems that the changes to the Earth Ranking won't be significant! Could it just be changes in the order of rankings, without any new experts entering the Earth Ranking?"

"We'll know when we see it!"

Boom—

Within the Ancient Pavilion, a golden and radiant ranking list, towering to the heavens—was precisely the Earth Ranking of Yunhe Prefecture!

On the ranking list, the original ten thousand names and information gradually faded and disappeared; the new Earth Ranking rankings, from high to low, gradually emerged on the ranking list.

The top hundred of the Earth Ranking did not undergo any changes.

After all, the strength of the experts in the top hundred of the Earth Ranking had already reached a terrifying level; even a slight advancement would be very difficult! Therefore, changes in the top hundred of the Earth Ranking were rare even over thousands of epochs; unless an expert didn't want to stay in the First Heaven World anymore and went to the Second Heaven World, only then would a ranking be vacated, resulting in changes.

"Thousand Illusions Demon, three hundred and ninth on the Earth Ranking…"

Upon seeing this name and ranking, many shocked exclamations erupted within the Ancient Pavilion branch.

"The Thousand Illusions Demon was ranked outside of the top one thousand last time, right? He actually jumped to around three hundred all of a sudden? This rate of progress is too terrifying, isn't it?"

"The Thousand Illusions Demon must have been hiding his strength for a long time, and now he's finally unleashed it!"

The further down the list, the more changes in rankings there were. However, most were just changes in the order of rankings, and it was rare to see new names appearing on the Earth Ranking.

"Xu Ming, nine thousand three hundredth on the Earth Ranking! Currently residing in Silverlight City, Youlong County, without a faction, a solitary cultivator! Battle record: With one palm, he suppressed and killed Long Daotian, who was ranked forty-seventh on the Human Ranking, and he did so with ease, clearly not using his full strength! The Ancient Pavilion branch assesses that he is qualified to be ranked nine thousand three hundredth on the Earth Ranking!"

Xu Ming!!

This unfamiliar name appeared in Yunhe Prefecture for the first time.

The major powers within Yunhe Prefecture immediately learned of the name "Xu Ming"! More importantly—Xu Ming was a solitary cultivator who suddenly appeared, without any faction!

Instantly, the leaders of all the powers were in an uproar! —Which power wouldn't want to have another Earth Ranking expert?

How could the combat power and deterrent force of an Earth Ranking expert be underestimated?

"Youlong County, Silverlight City! Let's go!"

"Hurry!"

"If we go late, Xu Ming will be invited away by other powers!"

Especially the Youlong County Lord, who hurriedly left Yunhe City and headed straight for Silverlight City—this was an Earth Ranking expert who emerged within his Youlong County, so of course he had to seize the opportunity and bring him under his command; if he was preempted by other powers, the Youlong County Lord would definitely be crying his eyes out!

…

Just as the experts were rushing to Silverlight City, within the Ancient Pavilion branch, an evil and awe-inspiring All Things Realm expert's eyes were full of killing intent. On his divine body, countless complex secret patterns were entwined with evil energy, and he was clearly very angry.

He was the one who was ranked last on the previous Earth Ranking, the ten thousandth Earth Ranking expert—Huangji Xie!

As the bottom-ranked existence on the Earth Ranking, Huangji Xie couldn't help but appear here when the Earth Ranking was updated. He was afraid that a new expert would ascend to the Earth Ranking and squeeze him out; and now, the thing he was worried about had happened!

"Xu Ming!?" Huangji Xie's eyes were boiling with killing intent, "Where did this unknown person come from, I've never even heard of him! Just based on the battle record of suppressing and killing Long Daotian with one palm, he not only entered the Earth Ranking, but is also ranked nine thousand three hundredth!??"

Huangji Xie was unconvinced!

Extremely unconvinced!

"I can't suppress and kill Long Daotian with one palm? Why can I only be ranked ten thousandth, but Xu Ming can be ranked so high!"

Of course, what made Huangji Xie the most angry was that he was now nameless on the Earth Ranking!

The latest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ book ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

"No! I must kill this Xu Ming and return to the Earth Ranking!!" Huangji Xie's eyes gradually became manic, seemingly because of the cultivation technique he practiced, "As long as I kill Xu Ming, I will not only be able to return to the Earth Ranking, but also be able to seize his current ranking!"

…

Silverlight City.

Within the Wu Family Manor.

Xu Ming naturally had no idea that his name had already shaken the entire Yunhe Prefecture. Not only were there forces rushing to invite him, but also the madman Huangji Xie was rushing to challenge him.

At this moment, Xu Ming was sitting in meditation by the lakeside in the Wu Family Manor.

Yun Tian and Lone Spear Guest stood behind Xu Ming, not daring to disturb him in the slightest—in front of Xu Ming, they maintained an absolute humble posture.

The lake water rippled with green waves.

In Xu Ming's eyes, this lake water did not seem to be lake water, but countless mysteries evolved from the Dao of Chaos flowing in the lake.

However, having reached Xu Ming's current realm, the natural world was already difficult to bring him much touch—what he was cultivating now was not the natural world, but the "True Self".

The power of heaven and earth, the power of the Dao of Chaos, were ultimately only external forces; only the "Realm of True Self" was the power that truly belonged to oneself! Only it was the truly powerful force!

"Realm of True Self…" Xu Ming discovered that he was still far from stepping into the "First Order of True Self"!

It wasn't that Xu Ming's talent was poor, and he couldn't comprehend the "True Self". It was because the difficulty of comprehending the "Dao of Nothingness" that Xu Ming comprehended was too high; secondly, it was because Xu Ming's cultivation years were too short!

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xu Ming's expression sank slightly. He felt that countless experts were heading in his direction, clearly coming for him.

There is only one chapter today, sorry.

There will be three or more chapters tomorrow. Something happened in reality, thank you for understanding.
