The rules of the Heavenly, Earthly, and Man Rankings are such that one can challenge others, and each person has one opportunity every year. If you do not challenge anyone this year, then that opportunity will disappear. It cannot be accumulated. Anyone on the rankings can be challenged an unlimited number of times.

This is the truly brutal aspect of the Trial Field!

Everyone desires to be on the rankings, but once listed, they will face endless challenges. This is especially true for those on the Man and Earth Rankings, who nearly each have to face a large number of battles every year.

Therefore, the cultivators on these rankings all possess a heavy killing aura.

Apart from this rule, there is another way to get on the rankings—that is, if you inadvertently defeat a ranked cultivator who is ranked higher than you. Your name will then replace theirs!

However, over the years, such incidents occasionally occur on the Man and Earth Rankings, but never on the Heavenly Ranking without a direct challenge!

Of course, these people still do not know that Chu Mo was listed without a challenge. But this doesn't stop them from expressing their astonishment.

"Senior brother, is this really the Quasi-Supreme you told us about?" A beautiful woman with long hair, delicate eyebrows, and cherry lips, her eyes as clear as autumn waters, was full of surprise.

"Yes, senior brother, didn't you say that he was just a particularly formidable Quasi-Supreme, with the strength to be on the Man or even Earth Rankings? But how did he manage to ascend to the Heavenly Ranking?" Another somewhat plump male cultivator also wore a shocked expression: "Even if he has recently achieved the way and stepped into the Supreme Realm, he couldn't possibly defeat Xue Wulei, right?"

The other junior brothers and sisters all looked towards Liu Yunfeng, their eyes filled with shock.

Liu Yunfeng smiled wryly and shook his head: "I, too, don't know if it's someone with the same name. Logically speaking, he's strong but shouldn't have such capability. Hiding strength... can it be hidden to such an extent?"

"Doesn't senior brother have a contact method for Lin Hei? Why not ask and you'll know?" The beautiful woman suggested, "If it really is him, then… we must at all costs pull him to our Tian Gang Domain, to our Haoyue Sect!"

"Indeed, senior brother, if it really is the person you're talking about, we must persuade him to join us." The plump male cultivator said.

Yet, someone else offered their view: "If this person really is the one senior brother mentioned, then… I think, he won't be so easy to persuade. How could such a Heavenly Genius not have a huge force behind him? They are surely incredibly haughty at their core. What can our Haoyue Sect offer to him?"

The beautiful woman retorted, "How would we know if it worked without trying?"

The plump male cultivator added, "Senior brother should still try to find out if it's indeed him."

"Yes, senior brother, please ask."

"Exactly, we need to confirm it first."

Liu Yunfeng nodded, deeply curious about this matter. He took out a voice transmission stone and immediately activated the spiritual force Chu Mo had left behind; a response came quickly from the other side.

"Brother Liu?" Chu Mo's consciousness, despite the vast and endless void, transmitted precisely here.

Liu Yunfeng transmitted his thoughts: "Brother, did you defeat Xue Wulei?"

At his side, Liu Yunfeng's group of junior brothers and sisters all awaited the news with eager faces.

The reply from the other side seemed to hesitate for a moment, then a wave of thought transmitted back: "How did Brother Liu come to know of this? Are you close with Xue Wulei? Don't worry, he's not dead."

"…" Liu Yunfeng was completely stunned, his mouth twitching violently.

The sentence 'he's not dead' nearly scared him half to death! Can you not be so intense? A few months ago you were still a Quasi-Supreme, even if you broke through to the Supreme Realm and achieved enlightenment in these months, how could you become so formidable all of a sudden? Do you have any idea who Xue Wulei is?

The expression on Liu Yunfeng's face, observed by his group of junior brothers and sisters, although they didn't know the exact content shared between them, could almost certainly confirm that. Lin Hei, who defeated Xue Wulei, was indeed the Quasi-Supreme their senior brother venerated!

This was astonishing!

So shocking!

It even evoked a sense of blood boiling!

Liu Yunfeng fell silent for a long while before he finally sighed and transmitted a thought filled with grievances: "Brother, do you know that on the Heavenly, Earthly, and Man Rankings there is another rule..."

It also took a while before the reply came back: "Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have fought him. Now haven't I become a target? Uh… Brother Liu, I'll contact you later, someone has come to challenge me, damn…"

The communication from the voice transmission stone abruptly cut off.

Liu Yunfeng held the voice transmission stone with a wry smile.

This is exactly why upon returning this time, he had not challenged anyone on the Heavenly Ranking—he was a bit tired of being harassed!

Speaking of which, he had already gained enough combat experience in the Trial Field. To seek improvement, his only targets now were the perilous lands and forbidden zones in the Trial Field. He had almost fought with everyone on the Heavenly Ranking, some were no match for him, and he was no match for some. All in all, the combat experience he gained from those people was sufficient.

As for those who challenged him... Though anyone daring to challenge Liu Yunfeng was definitely a powerhouse from the earth ranking, they truly stood no chance before him. He defeated them in just a few moves. To kill would increase his killing intent, which was not a good thing; to spare would make other challengers think him merciful and challenge him more recklessly.

Therefore, he was somewhat annoyed and had not yet challenged those on the Heavenly Ranking. When he wanted to step up another level, he would directly challenge the top three experts of the Heavenly Ranking–Zi Dao, Zhong Sheng, and Wu Fei!

He did not want to make a move until he had that strength.

However, now the person he had high hopes for suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Ranking inexplicably. If he had known this would happen, he should have contacted him immediately after dealing with his sect matters. Perhaps he could have even recruited him.

Now, how to recruit? The person is now a Heavenly Ranking powerhouse too!

Liu Yunfeng's emotions were complex, but at the same time, he felt proud. His judgment had indeed been spot on!

That person was truly outstanding, beyond even his imagination.

"However... My brother, I hope you can persevere through this year. Because you will find, every day, a large number of cultivators will suddenly appear around you..." Liu Yunfeng thought to himself, then looked at his fellow junior brothers and sisters and smiled, "It's him."

Getting the expected answer, these people all fell silent.

The beautiful woman gently asked, "Senior Brother, was he really a Quasi-Supreme few months ago? But he could already defeat an early-stage Supreme?"

Liu Yunfeng nodded, "He is the most formidable Quasi-Supreme I have ever seen, none else comes close. I don't know what Zi Dao, Zhong Sheng, Wu Fei, and Du Chuan are like at the Quasi-Supreme stage, but I'm sure, I was not as good as him when I was at the same stage as Lin Hei."

Hiss!

The group of young Supremes from Haoyue Sect all gasped, their faces showing disbelief. Then, they became even more silent.

At that moment, Liu Yunfeng slowly said, "Do you remember what your respective masters told you before entering the Trial Field?"

The group of young Heavenly Geniuses from Haoyue Sect were slightly startled.

Then, the same beautiful woman gently said, "Master told me, 'In Haoyue Sect, you are not the most outstanding talent, so what makes you think you are the top talent in the entire Luotian Universe? Exceptionally talented individuals are as common as crucians crossing the river. The ones who can stand at the pinnacle in the future may not necessarily be the most talented ones. Thus, no matter when, do not forget the emotion you felt when you learned your first spell, nor forget the dream you had when you first joined the immortal gate. Cultivation is filled with competition, you need an invincible belief, but more importantly, an acute awareness of your own needs. Study diligently and do not dread challenges. Only then will you have a future.'"

Liu Yunfeng, looking at this beautiful junior sister, couldn't help but start clapping.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Following this, everyone else couldn't help but burst into applause.

"This speech was very good, your master, my Junior Master, is indeed a wise person. Yes, our predecessors at Haoyue Sect had such great wisdom!" Liu Yunfeng looked at the group of juniors seriously and said, "The advice from your masters should be quite similar, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Liu Yunfeng continued, "So, when you're free, think about what your master's advice really means, what it truly implies? Think about it deeply, if you understand it well, it will be comparable to a successful enlightenment!"

"Senior Brother, I understand what you mean. We will not be discouraged; we will definitely work harder!" said a slightly plump male cultivator earnestly.

"Yes, Senior Brother, we understand," a group of young Heavenly Geniuses said, looking at Liu Yunfeng with fiery eyes.

Liu Yunfeng nodded heavily and then said with a smile, "We... are the future hope of Haoyue Sect! From now on... it's up to us!"

A group of young Heavenly Geniuses let out a unified cheer.

Meanwhile, Chu Mo, facing his opponent in front of him, was somewhat stunned, "Why is it you?"

"You recognize me?" Zhenzhen looked at Chu Mo with a smiling, mischievous gaze.

Chu Mo said, "I've seen you before."

Zhenzhen smiled charmingly, and cunningly said, "Yes, you've certainly seen me before, you even heartlessly beheaded me once."

Chu Mo was at a loss for words, saying with a blank look, "I'm not quite sure what you're talking about."

Zhenzhen, ignoring Chu Mo, continued on her own, "Honestly, Chu Mo, I really admire you. Coming out from a place like Yanhuang and arriving at a Trial Field populated with numerous Heavenly Geniuses, yet you could rise in such a short amount of time. You are indeed impressive. Moreover, you are now concealing it even better. If I hadn't already confirmed that you are Chu Mo, I couldn't believe now that you are the same person who once beheaded me."
