High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 1222 - 550: Hundred Kun Mountain! The Myriad Gods Ranking

The Marquis of the Blue Sky turned, transforming into a streak of chaotic Flowing Light, and flew toward the direction of the Lanyue Divine Hall.

Once he departed, Bai Qing led Jiang Ye and flew toward the direction of the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

Along the way, Bai Qing introduced to Jiang Ye the many rules of the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

"The Qiuqing Divine Hall is one of the four great Divine Halls of the Caikun Civilization."

"Within the Divine Hall, there are many powerhouses, and the hierarchy is exceedingly strict."

Bai Qing spoke unhurriedly.

"In my Qiuqing Divine Hall, though Gods possess an exalted status, there are likewise many rules specifically aimed at them."

"You must not engage in private duels, must not bully the weak, must not trespass upon another’s territory, must not murder without cause, must not..."

"Those who violate them, in light cases will be punished; in severe cases, expelled from the Civilization, or even put to death." Bai Qing recounted many harsh rules.

Jiang Ye’s expression shifted slightly.

This was somewhat different from the Huanglong Civilization.

One must know that in Huanglong, every God held a lofty position and acted with great freedom.

Yet upon coming to Caikun, even Gods were bound by such constraints.

"This is quite normal."

"In my Caikun Civilization, the number of Gods surpasses tens of thousands." Bai Qing seemed to see his doubt and smiled. "If they are not restrained, it will inevitably give rise to immense turmoil."

"You need not be overly concerned."

"So long as you do not touch the bottom line, the Divine Hall’s constraints upon Gods are not overly severe."

"On the contrary, the Divine Hall will provide vast resources to aid your cultivation." Bai Qing said with a smile.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

"In addition."

"In my Caikun Civilization, there are three great ranking lists that span all tiers of powerhouses." Bai Qing continued, "They are the ultimate pursuit of all powerhouses."

"Three great ranking lists?" Jiang Ye revealed a look of curiosity.

"The first, the [Basic Level Myriad Gods Ranking]!"

"Commonly known as the Earth Ranking." Bai Qing said, "It specializes in recording the rankings of all Divine Body Realm powerhouses of the Caikun Civilization."

"So long as one is a Divine Body Realm powerhouse, one may challenge to enter the list. The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards."

"Those within the top ten thousand of the Earth Ranking may receive a fixed amount of Divine Level resources every month; those within the top one thousand may enter the Divine Hall’s Secret Realm for cultivation."

"As for the top one hundred, they not only can obtain an immense quantity of high-tier Divine Level resources and assume the position of an elder with real authority, more importantly..."

"They gain the opportunity to enter a Chaos-level Star Sky Forbidden Land!" A sharp light flashed in Bai Qing’s eyes.

Jiang Ye’s heart trembled.

A Chaos-level Star Sky Forbidden Land!

The Nine Heavens Cave Abode!

"This top one hundred of the Earth Ranking is precisely my current goal." Jiang Ye said inwardly.

"The second, the [High-level Myriad Gods Ranking]."

"Commonly known as the Heaven Ranking." Bai Qing continued, "It records the rankings of Divine Sea Realm powerhouses."

"Its rules are similar to those of the Earth Ranking."

"Those within the top one hundred of the Heaven Ranking may assume the role of ’Boundary-Suppressing Elder’ of the Divine Hall, guarding a region of the Divine Domain and obtaining the greatest benefits in civilization wars." A trace of yearning appeared in Bai Qing’s eyes.

"The third, the [Venerable Sealing Register]."

"It records the rankings of Late Period Venerables of the Divine Authority Realm."

"This list is not made public; only those of Venerable rank and above may peruse it."

After Bai Qing’s explanation, he looked toward Jiang Ye.

"Your foremost goal now is to assault the Earth Ranking."

"Strive to enter the top one hundred." Bai Qing said, "Only then can you obtain the greatest supply of resources."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, battle intent also igniting within his eyes.

The top one hundred of the Earth Ranking!

He indeed wished to see just how strong the Divine Body Realm prodigies of this Caikun Civilization truly were.

...

The two of them flew for roughly half an hour before finally arriving at the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

The Qiuqing Divine Hall was supported by nine hundred and ninety million heaven-pillar divine columns, like a coiled ancient Qiu dragon that had existed since time immemorial, emanating a vast and ancient pressure.

It was incomparably magnificent.

Yet upon closer inspection, mottled cracks could be faintly seen upon the body of the hall, the luster of its divine patterns dim, exuding a sense of decay wrought by the ravages of ages.

Bai Qing led Jiang Ye, passing through layer upon layer of halls, and arrived at the deepest part of the Divine Hall.

Here stood an ancient, simple great hall.

Within the hall there was nothing, save for a single figure in a green robe quietly seated above.

Around Him there was not the slightest trace of pressure, yet He gave one the feeling of being fused as one with heaven and earth.

Clearly seated right there, yet it was as if He existed in another time and space.

Unfathomable.

Impossible to discern.

The Venerable Qiuqing!

"Junior Ye Jiang pays respects to the Venerable Supreme."

Jiang Ye bowed in salute, his bearing incomparably respectful.

In this moment, he truly felt the terror of a Venerable Supreme.

It was a crushing of the very essence of life, an absolute suppression in terms of dimension... even though he had already attained Godhood, before such a being he remained as insignificant as dust.

The gaze of the Venerable Qiuqing fell upon Jiang Ye and sized him up for a moment.

"Not bad."

"To condense your Divine Body with the Four Great Laws—your foundation is deep." The Venerable Qiuqing nodded and said, "No wonder you could, at the Early Divine Body Realm, slay one at the Peak of the Divine Body Realm."

Jiang Ye’s heart tightened slightly.

The Venerable Supreme had actually seen through his foundation at a single glance?!

One must know that condensing his Divine Body with the Four Great Laws was Jiang Ye’s absolute trump card, never lightly revealed to others.

"Many thanks for the Venerable Supreme’s praise." Jiang Ye said respectfully.

The Venerable Qiuqing nodded slightly.

"Since you have entered my Qiuqing Divine Hall, I naturally will not treat you poorly."

"From this day forth—"

"You are hereby appointed as a Qiuqing Divine Hall—Authority Elder."

"Hu~" The Venerable Qiuqing raised His hand, and a cyan token flew toward Jiang Ye.

The token was entirely a jade-like azure, carved with a coiled Qiu dragon, with the two characters "Authority" engraved at its very center.

"This is the Qiuqing Authority Order."

"With this Order, you are an Authority Elder of the Qiuqing Divine Hall." The Venerable Qiuqing said calmly, "In my Caikun Civilization, the Ranks of elders are divided into Miscellaneous Affairs Elders, Authority Elders, Boundary-Suppressing Elders, Celestial Pivot Elders, and Grand Elders."

"Among them, the Miscellaneous Affairs Elders hold no real power and are mostly assumed by newly advanced Gods."

"Authority Elders, however, may command military power, participate in the internal allocation of major resources of the Civilization, and strive for benefits for themselves, their clansmen, and even their allies." The Venerable Bai Qing’s words carried a deeper implication.

Jiang Ye received the token, his heart shaken.
