Chapter 786: Chapter 343: Pursuing the Identity, Han Yi Eating Melon_2
This series of rankings consists of the top hundred cultivators who advanced to the finals from the five tracks: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Half-immortal.
Dong Chang was just at the Nascent Soul Late Stage and couldn’t compare to the miraculous White Jade Cliff. He happened to be outside when he heard about this news, so he immediately rushed to the market to buy a copy of the Nascent Soul track ranking list.
The number of names on the list was even fewer than the Half-step Divinity ones, but the price was outrageously high, costing a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Dong Chang hesitated for a while before finally purchasing it.
After getting the list, Dong Chang couldn’t wait to open it. Upon scanning it, he immediately noticed a familiar name at the nineteenth position.
His pupils shrank sharply, and his face was greatly shocked.
“Han Yi actually made it to the finals.”
“Moreover, from this ranking, isn’t it saying that his strength is among the top in the masses of Half-step Divinities?”
“How is this possible?”
Dong Chang looked again but found that this was just a list with a name and corresponding ranking. In contrast, the Half-step Divinity elimination ranking list contained simple introductions of the cultivators. Although it might only be a sentence, the revealed information was the most crucial.
He looked up again and still saw the mysterious ‘Jiang Hong’ ranked first. To this day, no one knew who Jiang Hong was. Even the cultivators of Beidou Immortal Palace, which was a subordinate department of Doumu Palace in the Daluo Fairy Court, couldn’t find out.
And the second place remained Ye Wuxian. Below that, although the rankings were different, they were also cultivators from the original Half-step Divinity list.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Dong Chang had no problem with his memory. He just glanced at the list and knew that the only one who had risen exceptionally was Han Yi.
“No.”
“Although this list has come out, and Han Yi and Jiang Hong are both on it, there are only names on the list, without pictures and other information. If nobody comes forward to rectify it, other cultivators will undoubtedly mistake Han Yi for Jiang Hong at first.”
“However, Han Yi is originally from the Beidou Region, so when he returns, he will definitely return to the Beidou Immortal Palace. The palace lord, knowing this, will surely protect him, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Moreover, before this, we Nascent Soul cultivators of Beidou Immortal Palace can correct this misconception through various channels, reducing unnecessary trouble.”
After thinking about it, Dong Chang decided on a strategy and took the list to the temporary residence of Beidou Immortal Palace’s cultivators in Changsheng Heaven.
The day after the list came out.
A piece of news spread in Changsheng Heaven: some cultivators claimed that after verification and investigation, they learned that the previous ‘Jiang Hong’ portrait was actually Han Yi, who had broken into the finals and ranked nineteenth. And Han Yi’s identity was a core Nascent Soul secretly cultivated by Beidou Immortal Palace in the Daluo Immortal Realm, aiming to stun the world at the Immortal Convention.
This explanation was reasonable, and many cultivators who verified it with Beidou Immortal Palace learned the information that also supported this view.
However, what everyone didn’t expect was that, on the third day after the list came out, a new piece of news spread in secret: a Nascent Soul cultivator from Age Candle Immortal Mansion accidentally revealed that Han Yi was a cultivator from their Immortal Mansion.
This Nascent Soul cultivator, named Lu Anping, even claimed to have experienced ascension missions with Han Yi and had a slight friendship.
Immediately afterwards, other Immortal Mansion cultivators confirmed that Han Yi was indeed from the Age Candle Immortal Mansion. Moreover, he was a Fifth-order Alchemist. This cultivator revealed that they had participated in a mission together for Age Candle Immortal Mansion’s Linghua Immortal Monarch and had a conversation during the mission.
As soon as these pieces of news came out, all the cultivators were curious about Han Yi’s real identity.
What kind of person was he?
Daluo Immortal Palace claimed he was theirs, and Age Candle Immortal Mansion also claimed he was theirs.
At this point.
Han Yi’s identity began to become elusive again.
With instigators stirring things up, even more bizarre versions started to spread.
Some people said that Han Yi was the reincarnation of an Immortal Monarch and had awakened part of the Monarch’s memory after the elimination round, which led to his rapidly increased strength and reaching the nineteenth position in the Half-step Divinity.
Some said that he was the descendant of an Ancestor, and he had not only stayed in the Daluo Immortal Mansion and Age Candle Immortal Mansion but even Lingxiao Immortal Court and Donghuang Evil Court.
Others even said that Han Yi was not a cultivator from the Daluo Immortal Realm but a spy sent from the Kunlun Immortal Realm.
Thus various kinds, there were too many rumors, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they became.
As for the cultivator at the top of the list named Jiang Hong, he remained mysterious, and no one had ever seen him.
Han Yi, who was in the Cave Mansion, had no idea about the storm related to him outside.
This time, he chose to stabilize his Yin-Yang Realm cultivation base first.
At this moment.
In his Zhong Fu Shen Qiao, the Fire Element Law that was born after the Immortal Leaves dissolved was still mysterious, and Han Yi had not fully digested it.
So, the first thing he did was to digest and comprehend it.
Three months later.
Han Yi opened his eyes with lingering thoughts, and from the Qiankun Ring, he took out the Fire Element spiritual item he had obtained from the World of Gods and Demons.
Through the transparent jade bottle, one could see a deep red liquid inside. This liquid, called Fire Source Divine Liquid.
As he held the jade bottle, Han Yi didn’t feel any scorching high temperature, but instead, there was a chill that diffused from the bottle.
