Rise of the Great Emperor - Chapter 473

“What the f***! Why is my ranking only 11?” A man shouted when he saw the ranking he got.

“What the hell! I nearly reach 10,000 but my ranking is only 39?”

Similar curses were hurled out from time to time. It was clear that these geniuses were all stupefied when they saw their result because they could not comprehend why their ranking was so low.

In the meantime, there were many of them who were also confused but also happy like Lin Xiao.

After all, their steps were only at 8,900 or so and yet they were at the top 10.

How could they not be happy?

Boom!

The men who wanted to complain suddenly realized that they could not speak anything. Some women cultivators were also stunned when they felt the pressure that was pushing their body.

“Silence!”

The moment the word was said, everyone couldn’t speak anymore. They were all looking forward where there were a lot of people stood there. Every single one of them was very powerful. Even looking at them made their heart hurt as their soul couldn’t withstand such pressure coming at them.

“Do you really think that if all of you choose to be heartless that means that you’ll be the best cultivator in the world? Let me tell you that the score and ranking will depend on your martial path!” One of the cultivator sneered. He swept his gaze across them. “Do you think having thick willpower meant cutting down everyone you see even if they’re your friends?

The thoughts that crossed your head is that they’re nothing more than illusions. But if they’re real, will you kill without any contemplation? Are you all walking the path of death? If you do, then it mean your decision is right!”

The cultivators lowered their head as if they wanted to prove that the elder was right. Not all of them was walking in the path of death nor murder.

Thus, if they become cold hearted like that, it would instead become their demon.

They would not be able to advance in the future.

Lin Xiao then looked at his ranking and realized that every cultivator didn’t necessarily have to walk the 10,000 path to be strong. It was just one of the path that was available to them.

“You all will not be allowed to talk about this test. Swore an oath to the Heaven or you’ll not be allowed to leave!”

They all quickly swear. It was not a big problem to not be able to talk about this test as Lin Xiao also didn’t have any intention to make it easy for the next people who come. They had to understand their martial path.

That was the important message.

The elders were watching for them to make sure that they would not do anything untoward. He nodded when he saw that they had all made their oath.

“You can now choose to one, return back to their kingdom and gained resources equivalent to their ranking. Two was for you to be nurtured by the sects and their kingdom would obtain a percentage of resources that represent the sect’s importance to them.

Move to the right if you wish to return and move to the left if you wish to enter a sect.”

Swiftly, the cultivators began to move.

Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua moved to the right and noticed that there were only 8 people in their group. The majority of the geniuses chose to enter the sect because they didn’t want to return back to their previous kingdoms.

After all, staying in the sect meant that they would be nurtured heavily.

Being at Nascent Soul Stage meant that their cultivation resources would focused heavily on their understanding. Staying on their own kingdom would require them to work much harder because they couldn’t gain much inspiration on their own.

Unless they were an absolute genius who could create their own method.

But that kind of person was only a legend.

Not everyone could create their own training method. The sect would provide them teaching from the teachers of various topics that would allow them to gain enlightenment of the law and the world.

That way, they would be able to grow.

Lin Xiao naturally knew this too, but he didn’t mind. His goal to come here had been achieved as he simply wanted to pave way for Xiao Hu Kingdom.

The elders nodded then looked at those who wanted to return back. “Since you chose to return back, we’ll give you resources in accordance to your ranking. You can choose how you want to distribute them yourselves in your kingdom or use them by yourself. Mark your kingdom in the map!”

As the large map unraveled before them, Lin Xiao was stunned. He focused his mind and thought about Xiao Hu Kingdom.

He never learned geography of the entire continent… he wouldn’t mistakenly pick the place, will he?

Soon, his eyes landed to the southeast area.

He found it.

Both he and Princess Lan Yi Hua pointed using their Qi to the location of Xiao Hu Kingdom. The name also appeared on the surface while the other geniuses also pointed their fingers. Upon closer look, it was not hard to see that they came from medium and large kingdoms.

It seemed that they were all had higher starting point than him.

Well, it didn’t matter.

The elder was surprised as he looked at both Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua. He would never think that there would be someone from the same place who could enter the top 100.

Not to mention, this place was a small kingdom.

He nodded in appreciation and waved his hand. “Crush this will transport you directly to your original kingdom. You may stay in Wang Wu Kingdom for the time being and this are the resources for you in accordance to your rank.”

Spatial Rings were thrown to them and seemed to be numbered.

Lin Xiao looked at the ring number 6 and used his consciousness to check it before he nearly tripped on the ground.
