Chapter 437: Cangxing Mountain
One by one, different masters hit the stone monument, and soon, someone familiar went to the front.
"He is Gu Meng, the young master of the Ghost Valley." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but say.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen also remembered the person.
However, they didn’t have any meaningful interactions so he didn’t care too much.
Soon after, Gu Meng hit the stone monument and immediately took first place.
"Three hundred and eighty-nine points." Someone exclaimed in admiration.
"As expected of the young master of the Ghost Valley." Another said.
"Even his title is domineering."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue checked the person’s title and his face creased in a frown.
’Ten thousand ghosts master.’ He read.
After many years in the Cangxing world, he knew titles represented a person’s potential.
Since Gu Meng had such a domineering title, his potential was higher than that of ordinary people.
"What a sin!" Jiang Yue couldn’t help but grumble.
After all, Gu Meng was a disciple of an evil sect.
Among the ghosts in his ghost flag, most did not die of natural or accidental causes.
Instead, they were tortured, killed, and turned into evil ghosts before they were enslaved in the ghost flag.
[The heavens don’t tolerate evil cultivators. Most of the evil cultivators who came to Reincarnation World will likely die under thunder tribulation.] Yu Nianzhen soothed and subconsciously rubbed his husband’s hair.
[I hope so.] Jiang Yue said and sighed helplessly.
"The Thunder God temple is really incompatible with the Ghost Valley." Someone said and everyone turned to see an elder of the Thunder God temple standing in front of the stone monument.
Unfortunately, the elder was weaker than Gu Meng and he failed to surpass the previous score.
"The Thunder God temple is just like that." An elder of the Ghost Valley mocked and the people of the Thunder God temple couldn’t help but become angry.
"Don’t get ahead of yourselves." Abbot Si said and rushed to the stone monument.
A moment later, his body emitted a golden light and the light struck the stone monument.
Soon after, the score appeared and directly surpassed Gu Meng’s ranking.
"Four hundred and thirteen points, as expected of the Golden Vajra." Someone said and others nodded in agreement.
"Is it fun to compete with the younger generation?" A hoarse voice spoke while walking to the stone monument.
"It’s the sect master of the Ghost Valley." Xuan Ke whispered.
"I wonder who will have a higher score." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder.
Soon after, his question was answered.
"It’s a draw," Someone shouted excitedly.
Seeing this, both sides were not happy.
The people of the Thunder God temple glared at those from the Ghost Valley but the other side was not weak.
In this way, a tit-for-tat between the Ghost Valley and Thunder God temple began.
However, neither side had the upper hand and Xuan Ke was soon involved.
"Good luck." Jiang Yue said with a playful look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xuan Ke rolled his eyes and excitedly walked to the front of the stone monument.
"Brother Xuan Ke, we are counting on you." An early-stage nascent soul realm monk shouted.
"Show them what our Thunder God temple is all about." Abbot Si said and Xuan Ke nodded.
As a lightning cultivator and a monk of the Thunder God temple, he also disliked the Ghost Valley.
Since he had an opportunity, he wanted to step on the Ghost Valley and destroy their pride.
’I enlightened for one hundred years and have also worked hard in the training grounds. I wonder what kind of strength I have.’ Xuan Ke wondered and released his purple lightning staff.
"Do you have an estimate?" Jiang Yue bumped his husband and asked.
"I last saw his strength when we were in the Crystal Worms desert. Based on that strength, he should be able to take the first place."
As Yu Nianzhen predicted, Xuan Ke’s score immediately took first place.
However, not many people were happy to see this.
After all, Xuan Ke was a junior in terms of age.
As a junior, he surpassed his elders and most felt they were disrespected.
Most importantly, the gap between Xuan Ke’s score and the second place was large which made the elders feel unbalanced.
"Five hundred and two, not bad." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"Almost ninety points more than the second place." Bing Lan said and sighed.
"The Thunder God temple has produced a talent." The sect master of the Ghost Valley sneered.
Hearing this, Abbot Si frowned but didn’t say anything.
"It’s impossible to please everyone." Bing Lan said and hurried to the stone monument.
A moment later, her score reflected and she ranked second.
"I thought I would do better." She said when she returned to the group.
"Four hundred and thirty-six is not bad." Yang Xu comforted.
In this way, more and more geniuses took the test and their names appeared on the stone monument.

Before long, only four people were left.
"I will go first." Murong Feng said and headed to the stone monument.
"Good." Yang Xu said.
Barely ten moments later, Murong Feng scored six hundred points and replaced Wei Ge in third place.
[Azhen, there is a problem with Gu Meng’s score.] Jiang Yue said.
[I also think so.] Yu Nianzhen agreed.
At first, they didn’t realise there was something wrong with Gu Meng’s score.
However, after most of the geniuses took the test, Gu Meng’s problem became glaring.
[Is he hiding his strength or is there something wrong?] Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder.
Hearing the question, Yu Nianzhen shook his head and then frowned.
[Bing Mei’s score is also a problem.]
[She is probably an ancient soul who seized the body.]
"Master has gone up." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said and the two turned to the monument.
"Can you make a guess?" Jiang Yue questioned.
"More than Bing Mei." Yu Nianzhen said and his guess soon came true.
"You are amazing." Jiang Yue smiled and playfully punched his husband on the shoulder.
"How did you know?"
[Master’s star turned purple and his soul is almost at the seventh level. His strength is not ordinary.]
"Seven hundred and twenty points, you are first place." Bing Lan exclaimed happily.
"Is there any reward?" Yang Xu asked with a smile on his lips.
"What are you talking about?" Bing Lan rolled her eyes but her smile did not diminish.
"As expected of supreme elder Yang." Someone said.
"Can he give us a way to live?" Another grumbled.
"No one can surpass your score." Murong Feng said with a little awe in his voice.
However, Yang Xu didn’t think so.
He looked at the remaining two and sighed.
"I am destined to be third in this ranking." He said.
As Yu Nianzhen’s master, Yang Xu should have felt uncomfortable at the thought of being surpassed by his disciple.
However, he didn’t feel this way.
Instead, he felt reassured.
Before himself, Yang Xu always cared for his disciple’s well-being.
Even though his disciple was about to surpass him, Yang Xu only felt proud.
[Do your best.] He transmitted to the two boys.
Hearing this, the two looked at Yang Xu and gave a deep bow.
After that, Jiang Yue walked to the front of the stone monument and immediately activated his Infinite Moment illusion art.
A moment later, nine figures struck the pipa in their hands and an incredible attack fell on the stone monument.
Soon after, Jiang Yue returned to his place and Yu Nianzhen went forward.
Similar to Jiang Yue, Yu Nianzhen didn’t hold back.
He released Shanjiang and soon after, a cracking sound was heard before a terrifying sword intent struck the stone monument.
When that was done, Yu Nianzhen put away his sword and returned to Jiang Yue’s side.
"This..." Someone started but couldn’t continue.
"This..." Another was also filled with horror and couldn’t get the words out.
"How is that possible?" Someone shouted what was in everyone’s mind.
’I expected them to be strong but why is the gap so big?’ Yang Xu thought and subconsciously clenched his hands.
