The Immortal Elder said, "Based on Wang Xiaoqiang's performance and achievements in killing demons just now, he can be granted the title of Immortal Hero."

"Congratulations, Daoist Friend Wang!"

"Little Qiang, you are now an Immortal Hero too."

Upon hearing the news, the many Immortals present congratulated Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't expect the Immortal Elder to be so easy-going, and suddenly felt that the weight of the title "Immortal Hero" was lightened... Just like that, they grant the title? This title seems too frivolous, doesn't it?

As the weight of the title "Immortal Hero" lessened in Wang Xiaoqiang's heart, his mood also dimmed a bit.

It wasn't until the Immortal Elder instructed everyone to rest that Zhao Changtian secretly told him, "Little Qiang, did you know, when I was given the title of Immortal Hero, it took half a year of trials before I received the Immortal Elder's approval. Some people took even longer. Even the brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue, who are always by the Immortal Elder's side, took four months of trials. You being granted the title upon meeting him is unprecedented."

Wang Xiaoqiang was startled upon hearing this. The weight of the title "Immortal Hero" in his heart suddenly increased. He looked at the Immortal Elder in surprise and asked, "Brother Zhao, why is this?"

"The Immortal Elder is an Astrologer. His insight is piercing. Granting you the title so easily proves that you are qualified!" Zhao Changtian said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a surge of pride. He thought to himself:

Haha! I am now an Immortal Hero too!

...

In Serpent Platform Town, the Immortal Elder is seen as a savior. The people of Serpent Platform Town revere him greatly, even placing his plaque among those of their ancestors and worshiping it daily.

Recently, the Immortal Elder, leading many Immortals, had once again saved Serpent Platform Town, and the townspeople were naturally grateful to tears.

The mayor of Serpent Platform Town invited the Immortal Elder and the Immortals into a tavern, instructing people to bring out food and drinks to entertain them.

At the table, the mayor spoke about the cruelty of the Demon Race and the suffering of the common people.

The Immortal Elder took the mayor's hand and comforted him, "Our Immortals have come here to enter the North Sea, to launch a large-scale extermination of the Demon Race, to avenge the fallen villagers, and to bring peace to the residents of Serpent Platform."

Upon hearing these words, the mayor was overjoyed and thanked them profusely, then prepared rooms for the Immortals to rest.

The population of Serpent Platform Town had dwindled due to the continued slaughter by the Demon Race, leading to a surplus of housing. Each Immortal received a room to stay in.

Wang Xiaoqiang bid farewell to the others and entered his room to rest.

Before resting, he retrieved two Demon Hearts of Demon Generals from his Sumeru Ring and placed them on the ground.

Then, he released 200,000 Spiritual Springs to absorb the demonic power.

The 200,000 Spiritual Springs covered the two Demon Hearts, frantically absorbing the demonic power.

As the two Demon Hearts were fully drained, the 200,000 Spiritual Springs also gorged on the demonic power, floating in the air, swiftly circulating with five colors, transforming the demonic power into spiritual power. When the demonic power was fully converted to spiritual power...

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...

Soft cracking sounds echoed as the 200,000 Spiritual Springs split into two, becoming 400,000 Spiritual Springs.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang absorbed the 400,000 Spiritual Springs into his body, and the spiritual power within surged mightily.

Now, the total number of Spiritual Springs within Wang Xiaoqiang reached 3,409,600.

The 3,409,600 Spiritual Springs trembled in unison, and the spiritual power, carried with essence blood, surged towards the newly formed avatar embryo inside him.

Nourished by the spiritual power and essence blood, the avatar embryo solidified gradually.

This meant Wang Xiaoqiang had taken another step towards the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

After the intense battle with the Demon Race, Wang Xiaoqiang's spiritual power was greatly depleted, and he had no more energy to condense a second avatar, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Over the next three days, Immortals continued to arrive at Serpent Platform Town.

These were people coming to participate in the Supreme Ranking Competition.

By the third night, the number of Immortals gathered at Serpent Platform Town had reached 1,020.

Every Immortal Hero in the Immortal Realm had arrived.

During these three days, Wang Xiaoqiang, following the Immortal Elder's instructions, rested and cultivated in Serpent Platform Town.

Each of these Immortals had a higher cultivation base than him, making Wang Xiaoqiang seem like the weakest among them. Witnessing this, Wang Xiaoqiang trained even harder, cultivating day and night. His avatar embryo gradually solidified with the nourishment of essence blood. His demonic hearts in the Sumeru Ring were also depleted during cultivation.

On the third night,

Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged in his room again, condensing his avatar.

He retrieved the remaining three Demon Hearts from his Sumeru Ring, placed them on the ground, and released 300,000 Spiritual Springs to start absorbing.

Absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb...

After the 300,000 Spiritual Springs completely absorbed and transformed the three Demon Hearts into spiritual power, they divided, becoming 600,000 Spiritual Springs. This increased the total number of Spiritual Springs in Wang Xiaoqiang's body to 4,009,600.

The 4,009,600 Spiritual Springs trembled together, their spiritual power surging, transforming into essence blood, and flooding towards the avatar embryo, nourishing it continuously...

Suddenly...

With a loud bang, the essence blood rushing towards the avatar embryo scattered and flowed back through the meridians, solidifying the embryo into an avatar.

He had formed a second avatar.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang made the second avatar float out of his body and stand before him.

With another thought, the first avatar also separated from his body, standing next to him.

The two avatars stood on either side, like two servants.

In fact, avatars are the slaves of the main body.

The formation of the second avatar signified that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base had advanced to the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

In just one month, Wang Xiaoqiang had advanced a level, feeling very pleased. With a thought, he retracted the avatars.

He lay down to sleep, ending the night in peace.

Early the next morning,

Over a thousand Immortals gathered together under the Immortal Elder's call, forming lines.

The Immortal Elder stood at the front of the lines and solemnly began his speech:

"Fellow Immortal Heroes, today is an important day. The Supreme Ranking Competition will begin today. To be honest, the Supreme Ranking Competition, while seemingly a grand event, is actually a grand and fierce demon-slaying operation. I have combined the two. All of you here are chivalrous and righteous individuals, determined to kill demons and remove evil, and also wish to achieve a ranking in this competition. I am very pleased with this...

The Supreme Ranking Competition, like in the past, will only rank the top ten. The rules remain unchanged, scores will be calculated based on the number of demons you kill and the level of the demon species killed... So, if you want to enter the top ten, if you want to achieve a good ranking, when we reach the North Sea, slay demons to your heart's content..."

As the Immortal Elder spoke, he instructed the brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue next to him, "Distribute the Dragon Tendons!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately took out a bundle of Dragon Tendons from their Storage Rings. The Dragon Tendons were like nylon ropes, thin and long, though coiled together, they appeared to be at least a hundred meters long. (To be continued.
