Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 483: Top of the Earth Ranking
Afterwards, the war between the Jiang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world and the two small-scale exploratory forces of the Demonic Path became normalized, and the two sides fought for years around the area of Julu City.

The demonic sect did not send any more reinforcements, so the Jiang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world could only withstand the enemy's attack alone.

Fortunately, although the other six countries in Yunhuang did not directly send monks to support, huge amounts of supplies continued to come.

Various recovery pills, first and second level talismans, numerous magical instruments, even spiritual instruments, as well as various consumable spiritual materials and equipment.

With no logistical worries, the Jiang Kingdom's cultivation world gradually withstood the opponent's pressure, and no longer relied solely on the sturdy Julu City for defense.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in an area more than a thousand miles south of Julu City.

Large-scale battles between groups of monks are rare, and more common are small-scale groups of monks hunting each other.

Moreover, both sides are now well aware that the Demonic Sect wants to test the strength of the Jiang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, so they tacitly agree that the Jindan cultivators will not attack cultivators of lower realms at will, and it all depends on the outcome of the fight between the cultivators of the same level on both sides.

In just a few years, countless monks' remains were buried in the land of more than a thousand miles.

In order to encourage the morale of their disciples, the five major sects of Jiang Kingdom jointly established a War Merit Hall and provided many precious resources as rewards for military merits.

Among these rewards, the Foundation Establishment Pill is just a common one, for example, there are second-level or even third-level breakthrough pills, upper-middle-grade spiritual tools, even ancient tools, high-level skills, various rare and precious spiritual materials, the cultivation insights of Jindan cultivators and personal answers to their questions, and even the most important pill of the Linking Pill, the Crystal Condensing Pill.

There were even special Heavenly Rankings and Earthly Rankings set up, with rankings based on military merit. The Heavenly Ranking was for Jindan cultivators, while the Earthly Ranking corresponded to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The list will be refreshed every month, and those who rank higher will receive precious rewards. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward.

Since the establishment of this list, Ningfa's name has never fallen out of the first place.

It’s the end of the month again, and it’s time for the list to be finalized.

The War Merit Hall in the center of Julu City was crowded with people. Many monks from various sects came to redeem their war merits, hoping to improve their ranking slightly on this last day to get better rewards.

In this extremely spacious hall, there is a huge white light curtain about tens of feet high on each side. On it are written the names of each cultivator and their current battle achievements from high to low.

On the light screen on the right representing the Earth Ranking, the name of the first place is particularly eye-catching - Huayu Zong Ningfa, with 156,000 military merits.

The many foundation-building monks in the hall looked at this name and the number of military merits behind it with awe, and even felt numb in their hearts, without any thought of catching up, because this high number of military merits was really despairing.

For most foundation-building cultivators, it is already very good to have about three thousand battle merits.

You should know that killing an early foundation-building cultivator is worth one thousand military merits, killing a middle foundation-building cultivator is worth three thousand military merits, and killing a late foundation-building cultivator is worth ten thousand military merits.

So how many high-level monks on the opposite side did Ning Fa have to kill to achieve such an amazing military feat?
At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter rang out from the hall: "This month's number one on the Earth Ranking is mine!"

I saw a graceful and ethereal figure flying into the hall like a cloud.

Everyone's eyes flashed, and a beautiful woman in colorful clothes with a golden ring on her hands, feet and neck appeared, and then flew into the battle merit exchange hall in front.

Soon after, the Earth Ranking list began to flash slowly.

The second place, the name of Yun Miaomiao from Xuanyue Sect, has surpassed Ning Fa and ranked first.

The military achievements displayed on her right were refreshed from the original 115,000 to 171,000.

Such a change immediately caused many monks in the hall to be surprised.

One reason is that Yun Miaomiao’s military achievements have improved so significantly, and the other is that Ning Fa’s ranking has finally dropped.

After all, Ningfa's name has been firmly in the first place since the list was established a year ago. This is the first time it has been ranked second.

But everyone was too surprised. After all, the name of Yun Miaomiao of Xuanyue Sect had long been famous among the five major sects of Jiang Kingdom.

On the contrary, Ning Fa's name was not well known at first. Only later, as Ning Fa's amazing battle records continued to spread, he became known to many foundation-building cultivators from the five major sects.

"Senior Sister Yun has really shown her strength. I've predicted before that she would surpass Ning Fa sooner or later. After all, Senior Sister Yun's potential is obvious, and her strength has been rapidly improving."

A male disciple of Xuanyue Sect wearing a white robe said with a proud look on his face.

"Indeed, the power of your sect's Senior Sister Yun's [Secret Book of the Crescent Moon] is truly immense. I was fortunate enough to witness it once, and was truly astonished. She killed two cultivators of the same level in one fell swoop."

Another disciple from the Golden Scale Valley, who was wearing a yellow robe, also said with approval.

However, many disciples of Huayu Sect had expressions of regret and anxiety on their faces. After all, Ning Fa's name had always been at the top of the list, and they were proud of it.

Now that he has been surpassed by Yun Miaomiao, they are also worried about Ning Fa.

But there are exceptions.

Xia Mingyang and He Shaoan were seen gathered together. They had originally looked at Ning Fa, who was at the top of the list, with a slightly gloomy expression. But when they saw Ning Fa being overtaken, they immediately showed surprise on their faces, and then smiled at each other.

He Shaoan fanned the folding fan in his hand and said to Xia Mingyang with a smile: "Brother Xia, I will host a banquet tonight. Please do me the honor."

After that, he leaned close to Xia Mingyang's ear and whispered, "This time we have a top-quality furnace and cauldron." Xia Mingyang's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed, "How can I miss it?"

With Ning Fa's strong rise and his prosperous status, the two disciples of Huayu Sect, who had a lot of grudges with Ning Fa, felt uneasy and under great pressure.

It is rare to see Ning Fa suffer a setback nowadays, which naturally makes them feel happy.

Not far away, a handsome young man in a green shirt curled his lips and said to a young man next to him in black with a cold and resolute look:

"This woman is too unethical. In order to compete for the first place on the Earth Ranking, her elders actually lent her an ancient treasure. That's how she was able to kill the two fake Dan cultivators on the opposite side in such a short time and surpass Ning kid in the final moment."

The young man in black said coldly without changing his expression: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, they are both in the top two and it won't affect our ranking."

The man in green shirt stopped talking with a look of displeasure, but he sighed deeply: "These two were at the same level of strength as us in the Yuanling Secret Realm, but now they are far superior to us. Brother Xie, don't you feel unhappy?"

It turned out that these two people were Feng Chi from Golden Scale Valley and Xie Heng from Giant Sword Sect.

In the past, the two of them, Ning Fa, and Yun Miaomiao had fought a fierce battle in the hidden spiritual land of the Yuanling Secret Realm over the Yuanqi Colorful Lotus.

"Brother Feng, Brother Xie, long time no see." At this time, a hearty laughter was heard, and a silver figure appeared in front of them with a flash of light.

The man was wearing silver armor and a black robe, looking handsome and elegant, with a smile on his face. It was Ning Fa.

Ning Fa had developed a certain friendship with these two people, and they met frequently during the year.

Feng Chi first looked at him with a constipated look, then said with a grin, "Brother Ning, take a look at the list above. Your first place is no longer secure."

At this time, a fragrance came, and a cloud dressed in colorful clothes floated over.

She glanced at the few people with a charming smile, then fixed her eyes on Ning Fa's face. A hint of pride flashed in her beautiful eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I'm sorry, but this time, the number one girl on the Earth List will not be polite."

Ning Fa looked at her with a smile on his face, and said with a chuckle: "Fairy Yun, don't be so happy too early."

After saying that, he walked straight to the exchange hall in front, and the many monks around him saw Ning Fa coming and made way for him.

Many Huayu Sect disciples showed anticipation and excitement on their faces.

The smiles on Xia Mingyang and He Shaoan's faces froze, and worry appeared in their eyes.

Not long after, the Earth Ranking list changed again. Ning Fa's military merits slowly increased to 176,000, and he returned to the first place.

Suddenly, cheers from many Huayu Sect disciples were heard in the hall.

Xia Mingyang clenched his hands violently, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and then he flicked his sleeves and left.

He Shaoan looked at Ning Fa with fear, and left without saying a word.

Yun Miaomiao, who had been smiling sweetly just now, suddenly looked very ugly.

Feng Chi chuckled and Yun Miaomiao glared at him fiercely.

She looked at Ning Fa who had walked back to them, and asked in confusion and reluctance, "I remember you clearly didn't go out on any missions these past two days. Where did you get your military achievements?"

Ning Fa spread his hands and said innocently, "I killed two late-stage foundation-building cultivators from the Moko Sect before, but I forgot to exchange them. I suddenly remembered it today."

"You!..." Yun Miaomiao was so angry that her chest heaved, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

She glared at Ning Fa fiercely, then left the hall angrily.

Ningfa chuckled.

Although he did not give his all to carry out the mission this year, he would not give up the first place on the list.

There are two main reasons. The first is to improve his status and influence within the sect and build momentum for his competition for the position of one of the sect's seven heroes.

The effect was also very fruitful. Several months ago, Ning Fa had received accurate news from his master Cheng Ziyi that he would be the next one of the Seven Heroes. Soon the sect would hold a celebration to enthrone him.

Secondly, even he was very envious of the rewards that the top spot on the Earth Ranking could get.

The top three people on the list will each receive a drop of Millennium Spirit Milk, and the top person will receive an extra drop.

This is a spiritual object that even Jindan cultivators covet.

In addition, you can choose a third-level spiritual object, such as a third-level pill formula, talisman, spiritual herb, spiritual material, etc.

Ning Fa was mainly interested in the third-level spiritual ore. The list of third-level spiritual ores listed by the War Merit Hall jointly established by the five major sects was very rich.

Among them are some essence of the five elements spiritual objects, which can help to improve Ning Fa's original power of the five elements divine thunder.
