Chapter 103: I Knew Brother Li Yu was a God
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Li Qingyun walk out of the hall with Li Yu, Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, and the others became even more curious about Li Yu’s additional reward.
The last time was the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree. They wondered what kind of incredible reward it would be this time.
“Don’t ask anymore. You’ll find out soon!” Li Qingyun saw the anticipation and curiosity in everyone’s eyes and gave them an answer with a smile.
After all, the immortal spring water was the same as the ancient tree. It was impossible to keep it hidden completely. Furthermore, these disciples were now the core members of the sect. This spring was for them to enjoy eventually.
They would ultimately become the top experts of the human race in the future and stand at the peak of this world.
As the dust settled on the Human Sons of Heaven Rankings, the Demon Rankings began its announcement of names. Everyone began to feel nervous.
1
In the eyes of the humans, the demons were dissidents, enemies, and threats.
The demon race was even more terrifying than the threat of the Demon Sect. After all, people believed those who were not of the same race could not be trusted.
This was especially true for the commoners. Demons themselves represented fear and slaughter, calamity and destruction.
In the eyes of the orthodox sects, the demon race was an enemy of the Great Dao like the fiend sects, but it was a greater threat to the survival of the human race than the fiend sects.
If the demons flourished while the humans declined, the world would face a great calamity.
Although the demon race’s prosperity was already set in stone, the various Holy Lands and countless human cultivators wished to gain a comprehensive understanding of how powerful this generation of demons was through the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
The Grand Desolate Forest, Nine-Headed Lion Race’s territory, Golden Silk Mountain Range.
Today was the day the Nine-Headed Lion’s young master, Xin Ba, would undergo the baptism of his ancestor’s blood essence to enhance his bloodline power.
2
It was a sacred and solemn ceremony for the Nine-Headed Lion race. It was the appointment ceremony for the Young Master to officially become the future successor of the Chieftain.
Hence, the entire Golden Silk Mountain Range could be considered grand and lively.
However, they just so happened to encounter the descent of the Sons of Heaven Rankings today, which delighted the elders. They predicted it as an auspicious omen, and Xin Ba was the son of destiny.
“My son, Xin Ba, has the potential of an Immortal Emperor. In the future, he will surely become an unprecedented Immortal Emperor who will lead our race back to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm! And today, the Sons of Heaven Rankings will bear witness to the day of the official emergence of my son.
And his name shall spread throughout the world!” The current Chieftain of the Nine-Headed Lion race, the Lion King Xin Teng, was filled with anticipation.
The ancestor of the Nine-Headed Lion race was once an immortal race in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Due to some incidents, their race was almost wiped out, and less than ten percent of their strength remained.
They were forced to leave the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and become a demon faction in the lower realm.
After countless years, they were finally revitalized and were on par with the Azure Dragon Race.
Now they even had a peerless genius like Xin Ba, who had a mutation in his bloodline and possessed a trace of the divine beast, the Suan Ni.
Therefore, Xin Ba was definitely the best prodigy in the history of the Nine-Headed Lion race.
1
No one could likely compete with him, even among the geniuses across the entire demon race.
Furthermore, after Xin Ba had received the baptism of his ancestor’s blood essence today, his bloodline power would advance to another level, and his strength could improve as well.
Thus, Xin Ba could definitely contend for the top spot on the Demon Rankings. It could even be said it was a guaranteed spot.
“Not bad. The first place on the rankings will actually be given such treatment. There will be a natural phenomenon and additional reward!” Xin Ba stroked his long golden hair and commented proudly.
He believed he had reserved the top spot.
He knew that other demon races had produced genius in this generation.
However, he still had absolute confidence in becoming the first on the Demon Rankings.
He desired for everyone to see his name at the top.
He expected to obtain the additional reward from the Heavenly Dao Rankings. He wanted the Heavenly Dao Rankings to bestow upon him a similar auspicious scene.
His Ancestral Worship Ceremony and Bloodline Baptism Ceremony would then be considered perfect.
The Demon Sons of Heaven Rankings had begun its announcement. The majority of the demon geniuses on the rankings were from the Azure Dragon Clan, the Nine-Headed Lion Race, the Phoenix Bird Race, the Golden Feather Clan, the Holy Ape Clan, the Demon Fox Clan, the Hydra Clan, and a few
other demons.
There were also some demons on the rankings who cultivated from ordinary beasts through opportunities and fortuitous encounters.
However, the demon elites on the ranking were clearly one minor realm higher than those in the same ranking as humans.
This weighed on the hearts of the human cultivators. The cruel reality of the human elites being inferior to the demon elites was presented before them through the rankings.
Many people began to panic. Another storm was inevitable between the humans and the demons in the future.
Compared to the terrified hearts of many cultivators, the Qingyun Sect was filled with joy.
Li Qingyun used this Demon Ranking to start a lesson for the disciples.
He explained the knowledge of the various demons in detail, including the current situation in the world.
In fact, without the Demon Rankings, most of these disciples would not have known which demons were powerful enough to match the various Holy Lands of the human race.
The strongest demons they ever knew were probably great demons like Shi Potian and the Black Sea Mystic Flood Dragon.
Therefore, the Demon Rankings were an eye-opener for them. Li Qingyun took this opportunity to give his disciples a lesson on natural biology.
On the other hand, Li Yu pondered where to place the Immortal Spring.
It was not that Li Yu was too impatient. He was simply worried that he had to pee shortly.
The Heavenly Dao Rankings have done it again.
It actually sent the source of the Immortal Spring into his kidney.
He had previously excreted the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree. This time, he had no choice but to urinate out the Immortal Spring.

After wandering around the back mountain for a long time, he did not find a suitable spot. He finally decided to modify the small pond his family used to water their vegetable garden in the past.
After all, this place was close to the spirit herb garden and his residence.
The Immortal Spring could nourish the surrounding landscape, and it could also benefit the spirit herb garden.
It was also convenient for Shan Ruoshui to obtain water and use the spring for cultivation. Otherwise, there was no other suitable spot. He could not just put it in a public location.
Li Yu called the purple lightning flood dragon over so it could drink up the water in the pool before he expanded it by four to five times.
“Little Purple, you may leave.”
The purple lightning flood dragon quickly returned to the foot of the mountain to rest in the forest.
As for Li Yu, he waited beside the empty pond for a long time. When he sensed it, he peed the Source of the Immortal Spring out of his body.
As the Source of the Immortal Spring fell into the pond, a seemingly endless spring water appeared out of thin air as it rapidly filled the expanded pond.
The dry pond moments ago was filled with crystal clear spring water in the blink of an eye. There was also a spring mouth at the bottom that kept spewing out the spring water.
Rich immortal energy instantly pervaded, forming a layer of faint mist that enveloped the pond.
At the same time, all the plants around the pond instantly grew at a visible speed.
The ground around the pond was instantly covered by strange flowers and herbs. The green leaves seemed to have become emeralds that emitted a faint halo.
Some trees bloomed with gorgeous flowers as if they were welcoming a new spring. The trees also kept growing taller into towering trees. Their leaves seemed to be filled with specks of starlight, glistening in an other-worldly fashion.
The orange cat enjoying the cool air on the grass near the spirit herb garden witnessed this scene.
1
It widened its eyes once again and exclaimed secretly.
I knew that Brother Li Yu was a god! A real one! He shat out a divine tree last time. Now, his pee turns into a pool of water!
Meow? This dense spirit energy… No, it doesn’t seem to be spirit energy. It feels more comfortable than spirit energy. Damn, this water is definitely not ordinary. Oh meow! It made the surrounding plants grow so much. It’s unbelievable!
The orange cat took a deep breath of the aura emitted by the spring water and instantly felt its soul sublimate.
After seeing Li Yu leave, the orange cat rushed to the side of the pond and smelled the spring water. It refreshed the cat’s heart, so it immediately gulped down a few mouthfuls.2
After the spring water entered its stomach, the orange cat could sense how special the spring water was. Plop! The cat jumped into the water and took a bath while drinking.
Li Yu went to the spirit herb garden and found Shan Ruoshui. He told her about the spring and handed its management over to her.
Shan Ruoshui was naturally overjoyed upon learning that the reward Li Yu obtained was the Immortal Spring.
With this spring, she could grow more precious spirit plants in the future and even some natural herbs.
Furthermore, she could also use the spring to cultivate, allowing her cultivation and capability to improve rapidly.
At the moment, the Heavenly Dao Rankings had already been announced until tenth place.

“It’s the Azure Dragon Race again. This generation of the Azure Dragon Race is filled with geniuses!”
“After all, the Azure Dragon Race is the strongest race of the demon race with the longest history. Their heritage cannot be matched by other demons!”
“Also, it’s said that the Azure Dragon Clan had obtained the Azure Dragon Emperor’s Scripture in the Virtual Sky Mystic Realm. This might be why they had so many geniuses in this new generation of the Azure Dragon Race!”
“The demon clan’s tenth place is already at the middle stage of the Tribulation Realm, a major realm higher than the human race! Looks like the top ten of the demon rankings will be getting extremely intense!”
“Sigh… this ranking is worrying for us. The demon prodigies of this generation are too powerful!”
“The rankings have completely exposed the decline of the human race. The fact that the demon race is prospering would mean that humanity will suffer in the future!”
The cultivators of the various Holy Lands discussed the Demon Rankings with a miserable feeling.
It was like a mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts.
Every time a new name was announced on the rankings, that mountain felt heavier.

“Congratulations, Third Sister!”
In the Dragon Palace on the Thousand Dragon Island. Long Zhi cupped his hands at Long Yue.
“Congratulations, little sister!”
“Congratulations, third princess!” Long Ao and the dragon elders also cupped their hands to praise her.
“Sigh, I’m only ranked fifth. What’s there to congratulate me about?” Long Yue was a little disappointed. It was clear that the top five were all in the Mahayana Realm.
Meanwhile, he was only at the bottom of the Mahayana Realm, so there was really nothing to be happy about.
“The fifth place on the Demon Rankings is equivalent to the top two on the Human’s Rankings. Wouldn’t that make you feel better?” Long Ao smiled.
“No!” Long Yue folded her arms and replied defiantly, “I’ll see who else is ranked ahead of me besides Big Brother. I’ll overcome all of them.”
As they spoke, the latest name on the rankings got announced.
Demon Rankings # 4: Zha Zha Hui
Cultivation: Mahayana Early Stage
Origin: Golden Feather Race
“It’s that guy from the Golden Feather Race. He’s also in the early stage of the Mahayana Realm. Why is he ahead of me? Humph!” Long Yue was unconvinced.
“T’ve fought Zha Zha Hui before. He’s pretty strong, but don’t worry, little sister. You’ve just entered the Mahayana Realm. With your talent, it won’t be long before you surpass Zhan Hui!” Long Ao assured.
“Eine, Big Brother, you have to be careful too. I might surpass you one day!” Long Yue gave a grin.
“Alright, your Big Brother will await that day!” Long Ao smiled. He naturally wished to see his brothers and sisters rise up.
So that the dragon race could become the overlord of this world and surpass the human race.
In the future, they would bring their entire race back to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and become immortals again.
“Hurry up and announce Big Brother’s first place. I’m still waiting to see what additional rewards the Heavenly Dao Rankings will award you!” Long Zhi laughed.
“Yeah, that’s right. We’re still waiting to see that wonderful scene where auspicious clouds gather again!” His other brothers and sisters echoed.
They were looking forward to seeing Long Ao ascend to the top of the rankings. They wanted to know what the additional reward for the top rank was.

“Second place? How could this be…”
Everyone’s expression switched.
Obviously, this outcome was beyond their expectations, a huge upset.
“My son isn’t first. Xin Ba does seem to live up to his reputation. This boy should have the divine beast bloodline, and the purity is extremely high! Otherwise, my son would never have lost to this fellow after fusing the dragon pearl and the dragon bones!”
The Dragon Lord, Long Tiancang, frowned as a complicated glint flashed through his eyes.
The Nine-Headed Lions were definitely a demon race on par with the Azure Dragons. Moreover, they originated from the Immortal Race of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Their foundation and bloodline were undeniable.
“Father, elders, I’m heading into seclusion. I’ll come out when the Virtual Sky Mystic Realm opens!” Long Ao looked at Long Tiancang and the elders as he cupped his hands.
Although no emotion could be seen on his face, anyone could tell that he was upset.
After all, the best genius wouldn’t accept losing to anyone.
