“I won’t go!” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming said firmly.
To them, the temptation of the grotto-heaven was not small, but Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming had always believed that becoming mortal was the only way to achieve the supreme Great Dao.
As for those so-called blessed lands and natural treasures, they were only supplementary items. In the end, they could not pile up a true peerless expert, an expert like Li Yu.
“That’s the second-ranked grotto-heaven, Emperor Yu Mountain. It might be where Cultivator Li became an emperor in his previous life. Why don’t we investigate together? We might be able to obtain some kind of great fortune there!” said Heavenly Venerable Xuan He.
Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming remained silent as he continued to swing his ax at the wood.
“Zhong Yue, are you coming?” Heavenly Venerable Xuan He looked at Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue in the vegetable garden next door and asked.
“I’m not going either. I’ve already begun to understand how to become a mortal. I don’t want to interrupt now. Finding a grotto-heaven might not help my cultivation break through, but I can become a mortal!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue said firmly.
He had gradually experienced the benefits of becoming a mortal recently and believed that this was the next step in their cultivation.
“Alright! Since none of you are going… I won’t go either!” said Heavenly Venerable Xuan He.
“Xuan Hezi, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but it’s impossible for you to successfully turn into a mortal with the mentality of eating from the pot and looking at the pot. Since you’ve decided to turn into a mortal, put away those miscellaneous thoughts and focus on comprehending. Be a good mortal!” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming said in a low voice.
Heavenly Venerable Xuan He did not speak. Instead, he looked at Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming and Heavenly Venerable Emptiness beside him and said, “Let’s go back and properly transform into a mortal!”
Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming and Heavenly Venerable Emptiness nodded.
Now, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming had a lot of say in their hearts. After all, his current strength was far above theirs, and he had a lot of insights into mortalization.
He might need guidance in many areas in the future.
Just as Heavenly Venerable Xuan He and the others were about to turn around and open the door, the power of heaven and earth fluctuated violently again. Immediately, thousands of multicolored lights and auspicious images surfaced in the sky, and dazzling golden light gathered on the rankings.
Upon seeing this, Heavenly Venerable Xuan He, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue, Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming, and the others looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
“The first place is about to be announced!”
“I wonder what kind of treasure land the first place will be!”
“I’m looking forward to it!” The few Heavenly Venerables thought.
Gradually, the dazzling golden light condensed into words on the rankings. A name they were extremely familiar with appeared at the top of the rankings.
# 1: Nine-tailed Mountain
Location: Jingxing Realm
“Nine-tailed Mountain!” Seeing that the first place was actually Nine-tailed Mountain, the eyes of Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, Heavenly Venerable Xuan He, and the others widened.
Although this outcome was reasonable, it was beyond their expectations.
They did not expect that the best grotto-heaven in the universe was right in front of them.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. There was definitely a reason why the Qingyun Sect had so many extraordinary people.
Of course, they were well aware that this blessed land was probably not born naturally but created by Li Yu.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the number one grotto-heaven in the lower realm to be born.
“Cultivator Li is really a god!”
“The second place must be related to Cultivator Li’s previous life. The first and second place are probably built by Cultivator Li!”
“This is unbelievable. I really want to take a look at the Qingyun Sect!”
“Everyone, I knew it. This is our path. Why should we find any grotto-heaven? The best grotto-heaven is right beside us. Let’s turn into mortals here and follow Cultivator Li’s path. One day, we might have the chance to enter the Qingyun Sect to cultivate!” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming said excitedly, his fighting spirit rising.
His intuition was right. Their future cultivation path was here, and Li Yu was definitely their guide.
“That’s right. Be a good mortal. We will definitely have a chance to enter the Qingyun Sect!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue said excitedly.
“I, Lei Mingzi, have decided to enter the mountains every day to chop wood and send them to the Qingyun Sect!”
“I, Zhong Yue, am here to deliver food to the Qingyun Sect!”
“I, Xuan He, will fetch water for the Qingyun Sect every day in the future. Sooner or later, I will let Cultivator Li see our sincerity!”
At the moment, the few Heavenly Venerables were in high spirits and filled with ambition.
At the same time, at the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate. After the first place was announced, the place immediately boiled over.
The young men and women were also pleasantly surprised as if they had seen their families on the rankings.
This was especially true for those girls, who were even more determined to marry Li Yu.
Furthermore, they had already thought it through. Since they could not meet Li Yu, they would return and ask their parents to think of a way to send them into the Qingyun Sect.
It was good enough to be a few disciples.
However, Qin Jingyun, Gongshu Jin, and Ye Tianxing looked at the first place on the rankings, and the corners of their mouths subconsciously twitched.
They had come all the way here and treated the Heavenly Pivot Cave like a treasure. They gave their analysis and even wanted to do Li Yu a favor.
However, this was already the number one grotto-heaven. How could the other grotto-heavens catch his fancy?
