Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 317: Jin Wu Emperor


For Chu Mo, if he could really make it onto the list, all he needed to know was his own position!

From childhood to adulthood, the education Chu Mo received had never encouraged him to show off, especially in the past year, he had had enough of high-profile fame.

Being watched by almost everyone in the world, that kind of feeling, it wasn't good at all.

Especially when you lack the power to protect yourself, that feeling is even more unpleasant.

Hu Lie patted Chu Mo's shoulder with some sympathy, "Younger brother, don't be disappointed by what I'm about to say, but apart from a slim chance on the Bloodline Power Ranking, you should not think about the Power Ranking and Cultivation Level Ranking for now."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes: "I didn't even say I could make it onto those two lists…"

Then Chu Mo remembered something, "Right, I can understand the Cultivation Level Ranking, it can be measured... But how can one get onto the Power Ranking? Do two people need to fight inside the Hall of Illusions?"

Hu Lie twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at Chu Mo, and said, "If I weren't certain of your background, I would seriously doubt whether you have been to the Illusionary God Realm before."

"How so?" Chu Mo was somewhat surprised.

"You guessed it…" Hu Lie said, "Although you're a bit off, you've basically got it right."

"Really?" Chu Mo's handsome face was filled with peculiar expressions.

"That's how it works. Everyone who enters the Hall of Illusions can fight with a mysterious person inside the Hall. This mysterious person... almost everyone presumes it to be the Realm Spirit of the Illusionary God Realm. Because apart from that, there's no other explanation for its identity." Hu Lie habitually went off-topic: "After fighting with the mysterious person, your battle skills and information will be grasped by the mysterious person, who will then leave your battle projection in the Hall."

Chu Mo listened, his eyes bulging, stunned, "Is that possible? Then doesn't that mean all of your information is known by the mysterious person?"

"Shh…" Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo and whispered, "Don't disrespect the Realm Spirit."

Chu Mo snorted indifferently.

Hu Lie solemnly said, "The Illusionary God Realm in itself is a mystical place, even the rulers of the Heavenly Realm, within it, would not dare to act rashly."

Chu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression becoming serious.

Hu Lie continued, "But the Realm Spirit Lord would not easily stoop to the level of mortals. However, it is not a good habit to casually disrespect the Realm Spirit Lord."

Chu Mo nodded to indicate that he understood.

Hu Lie continued, "I'm not exactly sure when the Power Ranking began or what it was like at first, but now, anyone can issue a challenge, with no qualifications or thresholds. For example, you don't even need to fight the mysterious person, you can directly choose to challenge someone on the Power Ranking. If you are stronger than them, your name will replace theirs, appearing on the list, and naturally, your battle projection will remain in the Hall."

"Can you choose not to disclose your information?" Chu Mo asked.

Hu Lie nodded, "Of course, the same three choices apply! However, if you win, no matter what your choice, the person you've challenged will know they've been challenged... and that they've been defeated. But if you choose not to disclose, they won't know your name."

"That's perfect!" Chu Mo was growing to love the various rules of the Illusionary God Realm.

"Let me remind you…" Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo without expression: "Although you can ignore the mysterious person and directly choose to challenge the people on the ranking, I don't think that is the best choice."

"Why?" Chu Mo asked, "Challenging here shouldn't cause any damage to oneself, right?"

"There is indeed no physical damage, but with your current cultivation level, you would undoubtedly be killed in a second... If you're not afraid of being devastated, feel free to give it a try." Hu Lie said.

"Ahem... I'm not that masochistic." Chu Mo rolled his eyes indifferently. Then he asked, "What about fighting the mysterious person?"

"He will automatically adjust to your level, but all his techniques, moves, including experience... would certainly be the most powerful at your level." Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo, "So, don't fantasize about defeating the mysterious person."

Chu Mo mumbled, "So the mysterious person is a great training partner?"

Hu Lie said, "Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people here?"

Chu Mo glanced at the first place on the Power Ranking, where the name was anonymous, and laughed, "Brother, do you know who that person is?"

Hu Lie gave a bitter smile and nodded. "If you were to ask who other anonymous players were, I honestly wouldn't know. But this one... I do know, simply because he's too famous!"

"An anonymous player... too famous?"

"That's right, he has now... already ascended to the Heavenly Layer. He is one of the most famous young emperors in the Heavenly Realm!" As Hu Lie spoke, a look of longing appeared on his face: "He is a genius from the Jin Wu Clan, known as the Jin Wu Emperor!"

"There's someone with such a name," Chu Mo scratched his head, thinking this guy was so narcissistic. But then he remembered that names were usually given by parents or elders, so he asked, "Did he name himself?"

Hu Lie shook his head, "No, it was given by an elder of the Jin Wu Clan. It's said that when Emperor Jin Wu was born, the entire Jin Wu Clan felt an inexplicable throb, as if their emperor had appeared! Finally, a sage from the Jin Wu Clan identified who that person was and directly named him Emperor Jin Wu. And facts have proved that sage of the Jin Wu Clan hadn't erred in his judgment, Emperor Jin Wu is indeed formidable!"

"The minute he entered the Human Layer, he didn't choose to fight the mysterious person but immediately challenged the 100th ranked on the Power Ranking." Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo, "Each layer of the Illusionary God Realm houses millions of beings, and those who make the list are really strong. But before Emperor Jin Wu, they simply had no chance."

"Since then, Emperor Jin Wu challenged one person each day, and after a hundred days, he became the strongest in the Human Layer. Not long after, he entered the Earth Layer. There, he also did not take many years to sweep the Power Ranking, and then... entered the Heavenly Layer. Because he always dominated the ranking anonymously, this matter was only known many years after he had entered the Heavenly Layer, as it was revealed through someone close to him." Hu Lie said with some emotion, "Now, more than a hundred years have passed since the Emperor Jin Wu left his battle projection in the Human Layer. In the past hundred-odd years, some exceptionally talented Heavenly Geniuses had appeared, but not a single one of them could defeat the battle projection left by Emperor Jin Wu."

"From what you've said, whether it's really him... is still somewhat uncertain, right?" Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie and said.

Hu Lie smiled, "There's no mystery, because someone close to him made a statement saying that Emperor Jin Wu is unsatisfied that no one could defeat the battle projection left when he had only Mahayana realm cultivation level after such a long time. He publicly admitted this and, in order to encourage the younger generation, he even put up a tempting reward…"

I got home yesterday and slept for an afternoon and night. When I woke up today, I felt as if my entire person wasn't okay. I was on the brink of collapse from pure exhaustion and couldn't bring myself to write. I owe everyone an update from last time, which I will make up for you tomorrow.

After I have rested, I will explode with writing! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.
