"Congratulations."

The visitor was indeed Mo Qianyi. When she saw Lin Jing, she offered her congratulations immediately, but without a smile.

"I still have to thank you for not continuing the challenge, otherwise I might not have been able to stand at the end." Lin Jing invited her inside.

"There's no need to say that. Even if six others successively challenged you after, and one of them exhausted you, it wouldn't change the fact that your comprehensive combat strength was the best among the contestants."

"Moreover, from what you showed, I don't believe you hadn't anticipated such a situation. Would you really have been exhausted and fallen?"

Lin Jing smiled without speaking; who knows, though he did have a trump card. But Lin Jing felt it wasn't necessary to use it, even if he were exhausted and fell.

After all, what he wanted was the first place on the Tianjiao list, not the ultimate victory in the Tianjiao battle.

"Judging by your expression, did I hit the nail on the head?" Mo Qianyi curled her lips. She wouldn't be surprised if someone skilled in Mechanical Technique and adept at both Buddhist and demonic cultivation had more trump cards.

"Hehe, let's complete the transaction." Lin Jing changed the topic, "The mecha design diagram and its core materials, I've already prepared them."

"Have you prepared the things I want?"

Mo Qianyi took out a contract and said, "The contract from Lotus Pavilion, let's first sign the contract as a guarantee for this transaction."

.......

Soon after, Celestial Secret Tower released a new issue of the Tianjiao list, which received much attention due to the Tianjiao battle.

Not all cultivators could come to Celestial City to watch the Tianjiao battle in person. Most cultivators from various regions waited in their hometowns for the list to be published.

Wild Domain, Hundred Flowers Sect, Beast Taming Peak.

"Speaking of which, your Saint Heir is probably participating in the Tianjiao battle promoted by Celestial Secret Tower, right? I wonder if Lin Saint Heir can break into the top twenty this time." A short and cute female disciple from Hundred Flower Valley was walking with a Beast Taming Sect disciple, chattering incessantly with questions.

Since Lin Jing demonstrated formidable strength at the enfeoffment ceremony, the relationship between the two sects' disciples had been warming up. The Hundred Flower Valley disciples no longer saw the Beast Taming Sect as beggars, even showing great friendliness.

This made the Beast Taming Sect disciples loudly proclaim long live the Saint Heir.

"It should be no problem, right? Junior Brother Lin is exceptionally talented. I think even breaking into the top ten isn't impossible." Senior Brother Ziran from Beast Taming Sect laughed heartily and scratched his head.

"Really? Senior Brother Ziran, I heard you once entered the Grotto Heaven with Lin Saint Heir, is that true?" The cute female disciple leaned closer to Senior Brother Ziran, looking at him with curious eyes.

As Senior Brother Ziran looked into the big eyes of the Hundred Flower Valley female disciple, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just then, suddenly a rainbow streaked across the sky above Beast Taming Peak. Seeing this rainbow, the petite Hundred Flower Valley female disciple suddenly shouted, "Huh, Senior Sister Teng???"

In the rainbow, there was a Hundred Flower Valley disciple with yellow butterfly patterns embroidered on her clothing. Upon being called by her fellow sister, she paused slightly.

"Senior Sister, shouldn't you be guarding the mountain gate? Why are you at Beast Taming Peak?" the petite female disciple asked.

The yellow butterfly disciple took a deep breath, holding a stack of newspapers, "The new issue of the World Gazette is out. I'm here to deliver a copy to the elders of Beast Taming Sect."

"Has the Tianjiao battle ended? Senior Sister, what rank is Lin Saint Heir of Beast Taming Sect!" The female disciple asked, and the neighboring Senior Brother Ziran also looked at her, full of anticipation.

"Lin Saint Heir he..." The yellow butterfly female disciple still had an expression of disbelief even now. She could hardly describe it with words and simply dropped a newspaper, "See for yourself... I'm leaving."

"Hope you can maintain your composure after reading it..."

When Senior Brother Ziran and the Hundred Flower Valley female disciple took the newspaper, their pupils shrank simultaneously.

"The... first place???"

Soon after.

The entire Hundred Flower Valley was in uproar. Everyone, no matter what they were doing within the sect, was disturbed by the immense commotion. From Beast Taming Peak, came continuous cries like the wailing of wolves and the howls of beasts, making some slower followers think that the Pet Beasts of Beast Taming Sect were collectively in heat.

"Owooooo!!!!!" The Demon King Ancestors of Beast Taming Sect also revealed their true forms one by one, letting out great beastly roars.

"I told you he could do it!"

"This Saint Heir was well chosen!"

"First place on the Tianjiao list. Although it's just the human list, anyone who has been first on the Tianjiao human list, unless they fell or exhausted their life span, hasn't reached Divinity Transformation? They've all achieved it, right? At least they're Divinity Transformation!"

"The fortune he alone brings should be enough to raise Beast Taming Sect, right? With the Tianjiao first luck potential, can it not surpass us old guys?"

Tianjiao list first, Lin Jing.

Cultivation Level, Qi Cultivation tier twelve.

Age, 29.

Associated Sect: Beast Taming Sect.

Introduction: First in the Tianjiao battle, contracted with two beasts, one being a Squirrel Spirit mastering the true form of Demon King with powerful Buddhist techniques, the other being the Ice Soul Gu, one of the top ten strange Gu of Gu God Sect. Defeated the former first place Chen Chong of the Tianjiao list, who possessed the Innate Dao Body, demonstrating invincible strength below the Golden Core!

"Unfortunately, it's just potential fortune. It's hard for the Longevity Body to transform potential into real strength." The Demon King Ancestor lamented, other first places on the Tianjiao list with different physiques are indeed basically guaranteed to reach Divinity Transformation, but the Longevity Body is too unstable, especially with the added negative ability of one of the top ten strange Gu now.

"Send him a letter, tell him to stay in the academy and not wander around, it's fine if our sect doesn't have him as the Saint Heir." Turtle Ancestor Wang Batian had the same thought as Lin Jing, wanting Lin Jing to stay in the academy for a hundred years before doing anything.

Meanwhile,

Deep within Hundred Flower Valley, under the watchful eye of Elder Fang, the Valley Master of Hundred Flower Valley also picked up the newspaper. Beside him, Elder Fang listened to the beast sounds from Beast Taming Peak and regrettably said, "I told you, Valley Master, you missed a huge opportunity."

"But fortunately, we formed a good relationship, and at least gave them a bottle of flower nectar and some Secret Techniques."

"Number one on the Tianjiao rankings..." The Valley Master's eyes flickered. Having been friends with Beast Taming Sect for so many years, when had they ever seen such a heaven-defying disciple from Beast Taming Sect? However, this...

"Ice Soul Gu, is Beast Taming Sect serious?" She became worried, knowing much about the Gu God Sect because Hundred Flower Valley also cultivates insects, so she understood the magnitude of trouble surrounding the Saint Heir of Beast Taming Sect.

Sword Realm. Celestial Sword Sect.

Ling Yue Sword Immortal Feng Ning, who was ranked first on the Earth List with cultivation ready to transform into a Nascent Soul, saw the latest Tianjiao rankings and smiled slightly.

"It seems he used the Ice Soul Gu quite well, though I doubt I'll get the chance to compete with him on the Earth List."

She looked at the Celestial Sword in the center of Celestial Sword Sect, having already decided to enter closed-door cultivation soon to form a Nascent Soul.

"I hope when I break through, you'll still be alive."

Cloud Sea Mountain Range.

On the outskirts, in a border town of an Ancient Country.

An old and young pair were waiting for information at a tavern. After a while, a woman hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Vice Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader!" Her frantic appearance attracted everyone's attention, the Vice Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect frowned and asked her, "What's with the panic, is there news of the Ten Ferocious Beasts?"

"No, it's not that; the new Tianjiao rankings of the Ancient Country have been released," the female disciple of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect replied with a dry voice.

"So what?" The Vice Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect didn't understand; the Tianjiao rankings... as Qingzhou Cultivators, they rarely pay attention to it.

After all, exchanges between Qingzhou sects and Ancient Country sects were limited.

Ancient Country Tianjiao naturally doesn't affect Qingzhou Tianjiao.

Though the relations aren't significant, people from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect understood the worth of ranking first on the Tianjiao rankings...

"The new Tianjiao rankings have the Saint Heir of Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing, at the top!" The female disciple from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect recalled unsettling memories.

"What?" The Vice Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, along with another disciple, expressed shock. They had only recently come to Cloud Sea Mountain Range from the Wilderness Realm. How did the Saint Heir of Beast Taming Sect suddenly become the number one Tianjiao in the Ancient Country?!

What a joke.

"Ice Soul Gu? This kid actually contracted one of the top ten Gu from the Gu God Sect?" The Vice Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect grabbed the rankings list in disbelief.

The next moment, the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Beast Taming Sect suddenly felt an oppressive pressure. In the tavern, an old man in black robes stood up, looked at him, and said, "Did you just mention... the top ten Gu?"

"Divinity Transformation Old Monster!" The Vice Sect Leader from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect turned pale, not expecting to encounter a Divinity Transformation Old Monster in a small tavern!

Moreover, seeing how the other was so concerned about the top ten Gu, the Vice Sect Leader felt a bad premonition.

"Senior..." He lowered his head quickly.

...

Celestial Secret Tower City.

The new Tianjiao rankings were out, Lin Jing ranked first, and he received an invitation from Celestial Secret Tower.

"Follow me, Master asked me to take you to receive the blessings from Star Universe Turtle, finally your wish is fulfilled, right? Earlier I thought you were still at eleventh level Qi Cultivation, aiming to challenge the extreme limit of level twelve, but now you've reached level twelve, and the challenge is for level thirteen!"

Bai Yuran pouted, "It must be the power of that Ice Soul Gu helping you reach level twelve Qi Cultivation. After this, you should have a third contract position ready, have you prepared the Pet Beast to aid your breakthrough of extreme limit again?"

"If the Pet Beast's potential isn't enough, it could lead to failure in breaking through."

Lin Jing looked at Bai Yuran and smiled, "Of course I'm prepared; you could say that coming to participate in the Tianjiao competition was for its evolution. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly."

On this day, Lin Jing had been waiting for a long time, the day of the Carp Leaping the Dragon Gate for Dragon Carp.

Moreover, once it evolves, using the power of the Ice Soul Gu won't make him so cautious anymore.

Having eaten the Longevity Blood Mosquito for years, it's unknown what form the creature would take once transformed...

A dragon or a qilin? Let's just hope that from eating too many mosquitoes, it doesn't evolve into a mosquito.
