“Indeed!”

Hearing Jin Yuxi’s words, Luo Cheng confirmed his initial suspicions.

He then thought of the earlier changes in the Xuanlong Technique.

“Heavenly Dao Qi, Earth Dragon Vein, Human Destiny…”

“Earth Dragon Vein! Earth Dragon Vein! All Heavens Dragon Control Technique, Xuanlong Technique… It seems this elusive destiny is deeply connected to my Xuanlong Technique…”

Luo Cheng mused to himself.

Although he still didn’t understand the essence of this connection.

But one thing was certain—

This elusive destiny could aid the transformation of the Essence Energy Mansion, allowing the Xuanlong Technique to break through quickly!

At this moment, Jin Yuxi continued, “Luo Cheng, you were able to slay Li Shaofeng with just two or three moves; your real strength is surely superior to ranking forty-one on the Domain List! There’s more room for advancement. You should go to the Imperial City Haotian Building and gain the qualification to compete for higher rankings!”

Pausing for a moment, Jin Yuxi said solemnly, “My brother competed for the Domain List before, although he wasn’t successful. However, he said that the Awakening Vein Domain List is extremely important; it can gather destiny, enhance one’s potential, and influence everything around you. It will significantly increase the chances of breaking through to the True Man Path in the future!”

“Throughout history, numerous examples have proven that those who rank high on the Awakening Vein Domain List often achieve great success later on!”

“Haotian Building, is it? I will go.”

Luo Cheng nodded.

He had promised Luo Yao that he would compete for the Domain List!

He always aimed for the top; since he was competing, he must strive for first place!

Moreover, now there’s one more reason to compete for the first place on the Domain List.

According to Yin Li and Jin Yuxi, the higher the ranking on the Domain List, the more destiny one can obtain, allowing his Xuanlong Technique to break through to higher levels faster!

“If I reach the top of the Domain List, to what level can the Xuanlong Technique break through? Fourth Layer or Fifth Layer?”

Thinking about this, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

The fourth layer of the Xuanlong Technique would increase his combat power fourfold in a short time!

The fifth layer would increase it fivefold!

With just double the combat power, he could easily defeat Li Shaofeng instantly!

How powerful would five times the combat power be!

At that point, among those of the same level, it would be hard to find an equal, truly achieving invincibility at the same level!

Feeling Luo Cheng’s confidence, Jin Yuxi couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Cheng, how confident are you in ranking on the Domain List?”

Luo Cheng touched his nose and said, “Breaking into the top ten shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

Previously, Luo Cheng was already confident about breaking into the top three on the Domain List.

After the battle at Yunquan City, his overall strength improved, and now that the Xuanlong Technique has broken through to the Third Layer, his strength is already on a different level.

In fact, Luo Cheng is more than confident he can seize the first place on the Awakening Vein Domain List!

It’s just that he felt it might seem too shocking, so he casually mentioned the top ten.

“The top ten!”

Jin Yuxi’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Though somewhat mentally prepared, she was still utterly astonished.

As far as she knew, while there had been people from the Great Yue Dynasty who made it onto the Awakening Vein Domain List before, their rankings were not high—only around the top hundred.

As for the top ten on the Domain List, if one dared not claim it had never happened, it hadn’t occurred in the past thousand years for sure!

Those reaching such a high rank often received a grand destiny, allowing them to advance ruthlessly along their cultivation path, becoming a Great Power Level strong person, and achieving the True Man Path wouldn’t be far off!

Luo Cheng awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, naturally disadvantaged, and logically, achieving the True Man Path would be near impossible in his lifetime.

But breaking into the top ten on the Domain List would change everything, undoubtedly granting Luo Cheng the potential to rise to a True Master!

True Master!

True Master!

As the Ninth Princess of the Great Yue Dynasty, Jin Yuxi understood the extraordinary significance of those words. Even possessing the potential to become a True Master was remarkable.

At that moment, Jin Yuxi felt incredibly excited for Luo Cheng, with a mixture of other emotions surfacing. She stared at Luo Cheng, eyes shimmering, her mind a whirl of thoughts.

Luo Cheng, unaware of anything amiss, said, “Let’s go, I’ll first take you to Black Neighbor City!”

Jin Yuxi snapped back to reality and asked, “You’re not going?”

Luo Cheng shook his head, “I have some matters to attend to.”

After the battle with Li Shaofeng, the massive Blood Essence Qi within Luo Cheng had been completely refined!

This allowed his cultivation to reach a new height; not only did the Blood Spirit Soul Capturing Technique break through, but it also had some other effects!

The most notable change was a significant increase in physique and Qi strength.

This showed signs of a breakthrough in the long-dormant Body Refining Technique—Thunder Concealment Three Heavens!

Such an opportunity was not to be missed by Luo Cheng, who planned to find a place to cultivate Thunder Concealment Three Heavens and further consolidate his cultivation.

After all, his breakthroughs had been too rapid recently, advancing from the Early Stage of Awakening Vein Ninth Layer to the Limit of the Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein in just half a month, an astonishing rate that indeed needed time for stabilization and consolidation.

Otherwise, if his mindset and body couldn’t keep up with the changes in his cultivation, it could lead to an unstable foundation.

But before that, he needed to ensure Jin Yuxi was settled safely.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two figures soared into the sky.

Black Neighbor City was not far from Yunquan City, less than a thousand miles away.

Luo Cheng, carrying Jin Yuxi, hurriedly traveled at full speed and soon spotted a medium-sized city on the horizon.

Due to the massive upheaval in Yunquan City, many people fled to Black Neighbor City, filling the city to capacity, with crowds of people everywhere talking about the events in Yunquan City, filled with sighs and disbelief, while feelings of dejection and fear were evident on many faces.

Though the crisis had been quelled, the price was steep, with millions dead or injured, and the entire Yunquan City lay in ruins.

The horror of the Blood Demon left a profound mark on everyone’s hearts.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Luo Cheng was somewhat filled with sorrow, but more than that was the urgency to increase his strength.

Just a single injured, untransformed Blood Demon caused such calamity, and the Blood Nether Sect is a thousand times more terrifying than this—a future resurgence could be catastrophic…

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng’s gaze swept over the crowd, spotting several Inner Sect Disciples of the Luoxia Sect and flying over with Jin Yuxi.

“Junior Sister Jin Yuxi!”

“Oh, Luo Cheng… greetings to Senior Brother Luo Cheng.”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Luo Cheng!”

Seeing Jin Yuxi approach, they started to come over, but upon spotting Luo Cheng, they immediately greeted him respectfully, their eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.

The story of Luo Cheng assisting Yu Lanxin and others in slaying the Upper Blood Demon Prototype and saving Yunquan City had reached them, leaving them shocked and impressed, their gazes especially warm.

Luo Cheng nodded, then turned to Jin Yuxi, “I’ll take my leave now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng turned and was about to depart.

“Luo Cheng!” Jin Yuxi blurted out.

Luo Cheng turned around, “What’s wrong?”

Jin Yuxi lightly bit her lip and said, “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

Luo Cheng smiled, turned, and quickly vanished without a trace after a few flashes.

Seeing Jin Yuxi looking lost, a female disciple couldn’t help teasing, “Junior Sister Jin, he’s already gone, can’t bear to part?”

“Hehe, Luo Cheng truly is outstanding. Aside from the lower Martial Soul Grade, he’s got both looks and strength. Even I’m a bit smitten…”

“Senior Sister!”

Jin Yuxi, blushing, stomped her foot, then lifted her head to gaze at the clouds rolling in the sky, letting out a long breath, “He is a latent True Dragon, destined to rise above with the first thunder of spring…”

“Yes, I still find it unbelievable that even Yun Tianyan was no match for him, defeated so decisively and thoroughly!”

“Indeed! When he came to our Luoxia Sect, he was only at the Sixth Realm of Awakening Vein; who could’ve imagined this day would come?”

“Achieving the rank of Three Sects Inner Sect King with a Wasted Martial Soul is astonishing; it’s bound to become a long-remembered legendary story. Isn’t that what’s meant by ‘one resounding success’?”

Several female disciples marveled, their words expressing the utmost respect for Luo Cheng.

A slight smile appeared on Jin Yuxi’s lips; only she knew that defeating Yun Tianyan was nothing to Luo Cheng, and the forty-first-ranked Li Shaofeng couldn’t withstand even a couple of moves against him.

She even found herself eagerly anticipating the day when Luo Cheng’s true strength would be fully revealed to everyone, imagining what their expressions would be.

It would surely be quite fascinating!
