Chapter 380 Historical Ranking
Let’s see how his ranking is. With a thought, a dense list of rankings immediately appeared on the pillar. There were a total of 1,000 names. Humanity’s Demon Slayer? The Guardian swept his gaze and immediately found it. His pupils constricted. Ninth: Humanity’s Demon Slayer.
He reached ninth place as soon as he entered the Heart Sea Palace? The Guardian was somewhat astonished. This ranking of potential depends on one’s age, Essence Soul, and willpower. The willpower test will still take a long time. He’s very young. Only by having a fifth-level of Essence Soul can his initial ranking be this high.
Ancestral Master Eon Sea had made several attempts in history. However, he eventually ranked 17th in the Heart Sea Palace. The moment Meng Chuan entered, his initial ranking reached ninth. He had even pushed back Ancestral Master Eon Sea’s ranking by one place—18th place.
Even Ancestral Master Archean had only been ranked ninth in the Heart Sea Palace. He was now tenth because of Meng Chuan. The moment Meng Chuan entered, his initial ranking had pushed back the two ancestral masters back by one place! This Essence Soul talent was truly terrifying. Furthermore, after the willpower test ended, his ranking would continue increasing.
A fifth-level Essence Soul at the age of 59. This Essence Soul cultivation talent is truly abnormal. Among the historical human geniuses I know, that’s in the top five. However, willpower is especially important in the Essence Soul lineage in the later stages. The Essence Soul Tribulation determines one’s life and death at every Tribulation realm. Without a strong willpower, one won’t be able to pass through it.
Now, it’ll all depend on his willpower. As long as he reaches the average standard of these geniuses, he will enter the top five. The Guardian sighed inwardly. It looks like Eon Sea Sect will finally have a Dao Protector.
The vast sea.
Meng Chuan rode the small boat and took in the sea breeze, enjoying the sunlight. He was rather pleased.
As the waves ebbed back and forth, the boat undulated—Meng Chuan dealt with it very easily.
This is called a test? Meng Chuan smiled. It’s more like a carefree vacation.
The waves gradually grew larger and more violent.
Meng Chuan sat in the boat and held the oar. In this illusory world, my Essence Soul can affect my surroundings. One can take advantage of the waves. I can even draw power from them. This should be the correct way. Trying to brute force my way through the waves will have lacking results.
Meng Chuan was, after all, a Regis Godfiend. He knew how to control his strength. His willpower affected the boat and the surrounding seawater, causing the boat to borrow the waves’ strength. Although it constantly rose and fell, it seemed to become part of the sea. Meng Chuan appeared very relaxed as he perfectly controlled the boat amidst the waves.
Oh? Meng Chuan looked up at the sky.
The sky gradually darkened as dark clouds began to gather.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew violently!
The waves began to churn, causing Meng Chuan to become serious as well. He held the oar in his hand and used his willpower to support the boat as he rowed. He had immense strength. With the oar, he could part the sea, allowing the boat to borrow more strength from the waves.
Rumble!
The dark clouds in the sky rumbled as the winds howled. The waves surged as they constantly attempted to capsize the boat. However, under Meng Chuan’s control, the boat kept appearing on the crest of the waves.
Interesting. Meng Chuan liked this feeling of conquest. He conquered wave after wave.
Whoosh!
In the billowing dark clouds, a rainstorm suddenly poured down; bean-sized water droplets fell.
The rain was so heavy that the sky was like a huge basin of water unleashing its load. The rain naturally landed on the boat, drenching Meng Chuan. The water in the boat pooled.
Strong winds and torrential rain. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The heavy rain hindered Meng Chuan’s vision. Although his consciousness could barely prevent the rain from touching his eyes, he couldn’t use his divine powers here. He couldn’t use any domain or other means either. The rain filled the world, blurring everything. He couldn’t see anything with the naked eye.
He could only rely on his Essence Soul to sense his surroundings. He tried his best to steer the boat and conquer the waves—which were already reaching heights of over 100 feet tall.
The world was dark, but Meng Chuan remained calm.
How minuscule this pressure was! Back when he hadn’t left the mountain, Meng Chuan’s willpower was already very outstanding. After leaving the mountain…
After experiencing all the bloody storms, his faith had been tempered and strengthened through repeated trials.
As the saying went, hardship resulted in hardening!
One’s willpower had to be tempered into steel! During peaceful times, it was very difficult to have an environment that can temper one’s willpower. This was why there was the saying that said, ‘heroes appear in troubled times.’ This was because troubled times were truly terrifying. In troubled times, lives were feeble.
The war between humans and demons was a war that involved the survival of the entire race. It was even more tragic than any other war in human history. The demon monarchs slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people. If Godfiends couldn’t hold the fort, cities would be wiped out. The number of deaths in the world neared 100 million every year.
Such a war made Meng Chuan swear an oath to slay all demons at the age of six. In peaceful times, six-year-old children would be happily playing under their parents’ watch.
This war allowed him and Liu Qiyue to support each other and fight on the battlefield together. They risked their lives, killed the demons, and shared life-and-death experiences together. Such a war resulted in Meng Chuan’s father, mother, wife, son, and daughter taking up the call of duty to head out onto the battlefield.
Only in such a war could one establish a terrifying faith that was as tough as steel. This faith had long surpassed life and death.
The Guardian had been idle for too long-more than 500,000 years. Now that a Godfiend was attempting the Heart Sea Palace, he was overjoyed.
He kept staring at the ranking on the pillar. As the test continued, the initial ranking increased as expected.
Eight.
Seventh.The Guardian watched in surprise and delight.
Who were the people that had cleared the Heart Sea Palace? Back when the Archean Eon Sect reigned supreme, there was only one human sect. Back then, all humans—who had great accomplishments-attempted the Heart Sea Palace. After the fracture, many geniuses from the Eon Sea Sect had attempted it. Although they had declined from their peak, there was plenty of competition between the Eon Sea Sect and Archean Mountain over the years.
According to historical achievements, it could be ranked third.
Fifth? The Guardian looked at the ranking and was alarmed. This Humanity’s Demon Slayer has really entered the top five. At the very least, he’s now a Dao Protector of the Eon Sea Sect. His Essence Soul is very powerful for his young age. He should have relatively strong willpower as well. That’s why he’s ranked in the top five.
He has no shortcomings in this aspect. He can go far with his Essence Soul cultivation. His Essence Soul will definitely reach the seventh level. He might even have a chance of attaining an eighth-level Essence Soul. However, whether he can reach the Tribulation realm depends on his future experiences.
There were only a handful of Tribulation Eminences in human history.
As the Guardian pondered, the ranking on the pillar changed again.
The Guardian swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he looked at Meng Chuan’s brand-new ranking. He reached third on the Heart Sea Palace’s potential ranking? Furthermore, he hasn’t come out yet. The test hasn’t ended. Could it be that he can continue to go higher?
