Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System

  "What is your rank?"

  "Of course, only those who have reached the Yuan Dan realm have a chance to be on the list. The list is divided into four major lists: Tian Di Ren Xian. The human list is the weakest, and its requirement is that the cultivation is in the Human Infant Realm or below. The Earth List is for cultivators with cultivation in the Yuan Shen Realm and Lei Jie Realm who can enter the list. The Heaven List is for strong practitioners with cultivation in the Yin Yang Realm and Life and Death Realm. As for the Xian List, so far, only three people have made it, and they are all powerful practitioners of the Broken Realm." Gu Xin said with a smile, "However, not everyone will be on this Tian Di Ren Xian list. Those who haven't been tested here and haven't passed through the Ling Yun Tower won't be listed. But such cultivators are extremely rare, and the vast majority - or rather, 99% of cultivators - will leave their names on the Ling Yun Tower."

  "Lingyun Tower, what a magnificent Lingyun Tower." Huang Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement. Shouldn't he also leave his name on this tower?

  "This Heaven and Earth, Human and Immortal Four Lists are determined by the cultivator's progress through the Lingyun Tower levels, which is related to their own cultivation. Additionally, if someone falls, they will not be included in the list. Therefore, once they die, they will disappear from the four major lists of the Lingyun Tower. However, the Lingyun Tower has another list." Gu Xin introduced, "That is the Tongtian List."

  "What's so special about this Tian Tian Chart?"

  "The ranking of the Tongtian List is not based on strength or cultivation, but solely on potential."

  "Only potential?"

  "Yes, this Sky List will automatically select opponents for the challenger based on their strength when they are challenging the levels. This will stimulate the challenger's potential and the ranking of the Sky List will be determined accordingly. The stronger one's potential is, the higher their ranking will be." Gu Xiang said with a self-satisfied tone.

  "Looking at your smug expression, I suppose you must be ranked quite high on the Tongtian List?" Huang Yu said.

  "This girl has great potential, in the Seventh City, she ranks ninth on the Earth List and thirty-ninth on the Heavenly List." Gu Xin said.

  "Ninth on the Earth Ranking and 39th on the Tongtian Ranking?" Huang Yu was shocked, "You're so powerful, ranking this high in the True Martial Continent?"

  "No." Huang Yu's words made Gu Xin feel a bit embarrassed. "The Lingyun Tower has different rankings in different regions, and each region's Lingyun Tower only shows the ranking of that region. If you want to see your own ranking on the entire Zhenwu Continent, you need to go to Lingyun City. Lingyun City is located at the top of Lingyun Peak, the highest peak on the Zhenwu Continent, which is a sacred place for cultivation. But it's not easy to get in there."

  "Lingyun Peak?" These things made Huang Yu even more curious, although he had exchanged a book of Ge Wu Zhi, but hadn't looked at it too much. These things should be recorded in the Ge Wu Zhi, "Where is Lingyun Peak?"

  "The central part of the True Martial Continent is surrounded by oceans on all sides, and the entire Lingyun Peak rises into the clouds. It's said to be the closest place to the Immortal Realm." Gu Xin explained patiently, "The three unparalleled strongmen of the Immortal Rankings all live at the top of Lingyun Peak."

  Having heard this, Huang Yu also yearned for it, what was the situation in that Lingyun Peak? How many peerless strong people were there?

  "Lulu, can you introduce me to Lingyun Peak?"

  At this time, Lu Lu heard Huang Yu's words and said: "Master, don't think too much about it. At present, Master's strength is still far from enough. Those who can enter the Lingyun Peak are at least in the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Before reaching the Thunder Tribulation Realm, it's better not to think about these things."

  "The Thunder Tribulation Realm, that day won't be too far away." Huang Yu heard this but didn't feel discouraged. Although the Thunder Tribulation Realm seemed powerful, Huang Yu was confident that he wouldn't need much time to reach that level with his own cultivation, and maybe even surpass it. Since Lu Lu wasn't willing to say more, Huang Yu stopped asking and focused his attention on the Lingyun Tower instead.

  "That's Yoon Bok, Yoon Bok who ranked 15th in the land."

  "My god, that guy is Nian Shou Cheng, isn't he the number one on the Human List? Has he already broken through the Human Infant Boundary and come to challenge the Earth List?"

  "Shen Shi Ge's Gu Xin has also arrived, she is now ranked ninth on the earth list, I wonder if she will be charging forward this time?"

  "Who is the man next to Gu Xin?"

  "They seem very close."

  "Could it be Gu Xin's sweetheart?"

  "This is going to be exciting to watch, that Nian Shang Cheng has always had a crush on Gu Xin, but she's been out of reach all this time. Now seeing the man by Gu Xin's side, isn't he furious?"

  "It was exciting to watch."

  "How was the man's cultivation?"

  "It's estimated that it won't be weak, someone who can be valued by Gu Xiang, how could they be inferior?"

  "Me too."

  "That man looks unfamiliar, doesn't seem like someone from Qishui City."

  "Who knows? Maybe it's a genius from another city."

  "Ah, I remember now. That man was the one who gambled with Long Jiaolong and Liu San for the jade stone back then. It seems like his name is Huang Yu."

  "Right, I remember now."

  "It was him."

  "That's not right, wasn't he originally at the First Heaven Round Completion Realm? How come I can no longer see through him now?"

  "What's your cultivation level? It's just the early stage of Yuan Dan realm, can't others break through? Do you think everyone is like you, stuck in the first layer of Yuan Dan realm for countless years?"

  "Fart, I broke through two days ago, now I'm at the second layer of Yuan Dan boundary."

  "You've actually broken through? This is like an iron tree blooming, a miracle!"

  "You're looking for trouble."

  "Who's afraid of who? Come on."

  These words were heard by Huang Yu without missing a single word, and his heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself that this time, trouble was likely to be real. He looked towards Nian Shang Cheng, who had already walked over in their direction.

  Huang Yu finally understood why Gu Xin was so easy to talk to, it turned out that she had been waiting for him here. She had made herself a shield, and this shield wasn't an easy one to bear either.

  A reconnaissance mission went past.

  His cultivation base is now at the Yuanshen Realm, while I'm only at the Human Infant Realm. The difference between us is a whole major level. Moreover, I've just recently broken through, so if we were to clash, it would indeed be a headache-inducing affair.

  Gu Xiang grasped Huang Yu's arm at this time, with a sweet smile hanging from the corner of her mouth.

  Huang Yu was about to dodge, but heard Gu Xin whispering in his ear: "Don't move rashly, or I won't forgive you. Although you have a favor for my father, ... Hmph, you know the consequences."

  Huang Yu couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, being threatened like this was truly asking for trouble. If he had known it would end up like this, he would have been better off slowly cultivating his powers and not provoking her. But now, everything was too late.

  Looking at Nian Shang Cheng walking over, if that's the case, then not taking advantage of it would be foolish. Moreover, being misunderstood by others for no reason might even lead to a fight, so I'll just take some interest first.

  Thinking of this, Huang Yu's mind moved and he stretched out his hand to wrap around Gu Xiang's slender waist. He even leaned in closer to her, smelling the subtle fragrance on her body, which felt pretty good. The softness of her body made Huang Yu a little dizzy.

  Feeling Huang Yu's movement, Gu Xin was so angry that her silver teeth were clenched, but on the surface she didn't dare to show it. In her heart, she secretly vowed, "This stinky brat, next time I'll make him pay, how dare he take advantage of me? It's too despicable! Taking advantage of someone in a crisis, if I don't teach him a lesson, he'll become even more arrogant."

  One hand twisted at Huang Yu's waist.

  Huang Yu felt a sharp pain and his mouth twitched. This little girl was too ruthless in her revenge, it was actually this severe.

  "Don't go too far, or I won't be polite." Gu Xin whispered in Huang Yu's ear.

  On the other side, Nian Shang Cheng walked over and saw Gu Xin with a strange man, being so intimate, with a "you-are-my-heart-and-I-am-yours" look on their faces, making him furious, his fists clenched, his fingernails digging into his flesh.

  Guxin is the person he loves most, after chasing her for so long. She never gave him a chance, and he thought that once he caught up with her in cultivation, his sincerity would make her look at him differently, understand his true feelings, and accept his pursuit. But unexpectedly, full of confidence and hope, he saw the woman he loved being hugged by someone else.

  "Who are you? Bastard, let Xiang'er go!" Nian Shoucheng shouted angrily.

  "Nianshancheng, what's your name, who are you related to, and what business do you have here? Don't block our way." Gu Xin looked at Nianshancheng with an unyielding tone.

  "Xin'er, you...do you know how I feel about you?" Nian Shang Cheng saw Gu Xin treating himself like this and his heart ached even more, saying "How can you be like this?"

  "Is Xīnér also called by you? Get out quickly, otherwise I won't be polite." Gǔ Xīn shouted.

  "Are you really so heartless?" Nian Shou Cheng said.

  "Let's go," Yu said softly to Huang Yu, ignoring Gu Xin's words.

  In Nian Shang Cheng's eyes, it was even more infuriating.

  "Bastard, who are you? I told you to let Xīn'er go, didn't you hear me?" Seeing Gǔ Xīn being treated this way, Niàn Shāng Chéng was furious to the extreme, looking at Huáng Yǔ with a desire to tear him apart, shouting loudly.

  Huang Yu heard this and also got angry. Although he was just a scapegoat, he couldn't tolerate others yelling at him like this. This guy who claimed to be the master of Nian Shang City, although his cultivation was higher than Huang Yu's and had reached the Yuan Shen realm, but now Huang Yu was also in the Ren Yu realm. If he added the Zi Ji sword and Lei Long Nu, it was uncertain who would win or lose if they fought each other.

  "Get out of the way." Huang Yu looked at him coldly and said.

  "Nian Shang Cheng, get out of here." Gu Xin added fuel to the fire at this moment, provoking Nian Shang Cheng even more.

  "If you're a man, don't hide behind a woman." Nian Shang Cheng naturally wouldn't engage in a physical fight with Gu Xin. He took a step back, looked at Huang Yu, his tone icy cold, and suddenly released a massive battle intent.

  Things have been said to this point, can you still back down? No, of course not. Huang Yu is not the kind of person who fears trouble. Letting go of Gu Xin, he stepped forward.

  "Whether he is a man or not doesn't need your concern, but if you want to fight, then go ahead and fight."
