Chapter 348 347: Ascending the Liangyi Prodigy Ranking, Shocking the Whole World

Among the many great powers of the Yin Yang Great Realm, the Netherworld Dynasty held a high status, its territory vast and sprawling. Yet at this moment, within the Hundred Ghosts Sect in the remote Sunset City of the Southern Wilderness, the entire sect, from top to bottom, suddenly received an extremely special piece of information.

The Yin Yang Celestial Pride List had been refreshed!

That's right. The Yin Yang Celestial Pride List, which influenced the entire world, had been updated the moment it changed—almost immediately after the Secret Realm was opened in the Capital City.

Now, the name of the Monarch, [Netherworld], who was at the very bottom of the list, was crossed out. The magnificent, grand stroke was projected into the sky, and the enormous list was large enough for everyone in the Hundred Ghosts Sect to see.

A change like this hadn't happened for several thousand years. After all, the experts on the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List only grew stronger and stronger. How could they possibly be surpassed so easily by a newcomer?

They only needed to wait for the day the list was finalized and then head to the Yang Realm. They had no need to worry about any changes to the rankings.

In reality, as long as one wasn't among the top few on the list, they wouldn't worry about their rank changing. Even if it did, the impact wouldn't be significant.

The one who should be most worried, the one under the most pressure, was the person in one-hundredth place. He had to stare at the list at all times, ensuring no heaven-defying prodigy rose through the ranks, or that some old monster didn't achieve a sudden enlightenment.

After all, [Netherworld] was truly a genius who shook the past and present. He had made it onto the list with a mere Early Stage Unity Realm cultivation. To be precise, the moment he achieved Unity, he was on the list—a true prodigy in every sense of the word. Countless people watched him, and far too many factions wanted to befriend him.

Some old monsters even wanted to ask him for guidance on the matter of attaining Enlightenment in the Unity Realm, but the opportunity was truly rare.

However, a prodigy like him was also coveted by many. He was too young, too talented. A single misstep could lead to a backlash from his own fame.

It was highly possible he could be surpassed by some old-timer who suddenly achieved Enlightenment.

And now, with the list's change, just as most people had wished, the genius's name was pushed off, replaced by a completely new one: Half-Step Fusion Realm, [Bai Mo].

"???"

"!!!"

"AH!!!!"

"HUH?!?!?!?!"

The whole world erupted. Every single person connected to the Yin Net erupted. Without exception, they were all dumbfounded. There was even a great power at the Unity Realm, who, while in secluded cultivation, glanced at the Yin Net, coughed up blood, and died from the sheer shock to his heart.

Another pair, a man and a woman, were in the middle of attempting a fusion planting technique transmitted from the Outer Realm when they were forced to receive the news. They were so startled they went limp, completely losing the mood for fusion. They got up and went off to "discuss the Dao" with friends.

The Netherworld Dynasty, in particular, from the court to the common folk, went mad. Countless Ancestors from great families came out of seclusion and began searching for information on [Bai Mo]!

The whole world went crazy!

Ironically, the calmest person was [Bell Fish] in the Hundred Ghosts Sect's Sect Leader Secret Realm. She was frozen in place, staring blankly up at the list unfurled across the sky. The name at the very bottom was forever etched into her eyes, sharp and clear.

"[Bai Mo]? He made it onto the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List with a Half-Step Fusion Realm Cultivation?" After this whispered murmur, her gaze lost focus. Her heart began to pound like a great drum, the deafening roar of rushing blood echoing within her. "Huh?!"

In an instant, her eyes flew wide open. An indescribable shock flooded her heart, like looking up at the moon one day and discovering it was engraved with the words: "Made by the Hundred Ghosts Sect."

It was too ridiculous!

How could a Half-Step Fusion Realm possibly rank on the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List?!

That was a peerless list where even the absolute minimum requirement was the Unity Realm! In fact, ever since the beginning of this epoch, excluding the earliest era, no one below the Middle Tier of the Unity Realm had even been at the bottom of the list.

It was only because the current [Netherworld] was such a genius that he even made the list.

But how could such a world-renowned genius be pushed off the list by a Half-Step Fusion Realm cultivator?!

'Could it be that [Bai Mo] is actually an old monster who's tens of thousands of years old? Is he really a powerhouse with an incomparably profound Realm who tricked Yin Yang, causing the list to make a mistake?'

'Impossible. Any being who has cultivated the magic techniques of the Yin Yang Great Realm and wears the mask, regardless of how high their Cultivation is, cannot deceive Yin Yang. That is the rule.'

'Without a doubt, [Bai Mo] is a Cultivator I personally confirmed. He is bound to [Snow] and has cultivated the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique. He has established a connection with Yin Yang; it's impossible for him to deceive it.'

'But if that's the case... it means [Bai Mo] really did make it onto the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List with a Half-Step Fusion Realm Cultivation?!'

WHIRRR—

Suddenly, wave after wave of fluctuations came from the Secret Realm. One after another, Elders and Saint Heirs from other Sects arrived to pay a visit. Even a Fusion Realm Ancestor from Sunset City, who was rumored to have been dead for years, came knocking personally. To think he was still alive!

In that moment, the Hundred Ghosts Sect became incredibly lively, as if it had returned to its golden age in a single day. No, it had directly surpassed its golden age. Even when the Hundred Ghosts King was alive, there had never been such an astonishing reaction.

"[Bai Mo]'s ascension to the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List... it's real..."

As she murmured, a stinging sensation filled her nose, spreading like ink, and a glimmer of moisture couldn't help but well up in the corners of her eyes.

She casually wiped them away, but her vision was difficult to clear.

A dream she had held for countless cycles was finally realized through her "Direct Disciple." She had witnessed it with her own eyes: a peerless monster with a connection to her, ascending to the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List.

In an instant, the dream coalesced, washing over her heart like a spring tide. A strange, bittersweet emotion mixed within her—part joy, part anticipation, her mind filled with the image of the young man.

Alas, she knew very well in her heart that a small pond cannot raise a True Dragon. The fleeting appearance of a peerless prodigy had brought the Hundred Ghosts Sect an honor it could not have obtained in thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years. Likewise, it also brought her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

'[Bai Mo] will probably leave the Hundred Ghosts Sect. He was only passing through, summoned here by a quirk of the [Yin Yang Summoned Life].'

'Such is the coincidence that fate ordains.'

"DING DING DING—"

At the same time, messages flooded in through the Yin Net. The Supreme Emperor of the Netherworld Dynasty, the National Guardian Families of the Netherworld Dynasty, the Hidden Clans, the major top-tier powers that surpassed even the Netherworld Dynasty...

At this moment, every Cultivator in the entire Yin Yang Great Realm turned their attention to the Hundred Ghosts Sect in Sunset City of the Netherworld Dynasty. They all wanted to find out what kind of sect legacy could produce a peerless monster who could ascend the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List at the Half-Step Fusion Realm.

As for questioning whether the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List had a bug?

You might as well suspect you were born wrong and should have entered the cycle of reincarnation sooner!

The authority of Yin Yang was incomparable. In the Yin Yang Great Realm, no Cultivator should ever question the authority of Yin Yang.

If it said [Bai Mo] could make the list, then he was qualified!

But... how the hell did he do it?
