"Nana, are the three of you willing to enter Heavenly Path Academy to cultivate?"
The silence inside the Papal Palace was broken by Bibi Dong's low voice. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan exchanged glances, all seeing uncontrollable shock and excitement in one another's eyes.
When Bibi Dong mentioned the idea of "studying at Heavenly Path Academy," Hu Liena almost immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"Teacher, this disciple is willing to go!"
Her voice carried an irrepressible firmness.
As the foremost figure of Spirit Hall's younger generation, Hu Liena had always prided herself on her extraordinary talent and Bibi Dong's personal tutelage. Yet Yun Ming's record of becoming a Titled Douluo at twenty three and reaching the quasi god realm at thirty five struck her pride like a heavy hammer.
The God King potential of the Heaven Piercing Divine Spear and the boundless faith of the masses behind the Prayer Angel, the realms revealed by the Martial Soul Rankings, were heights she had never touched within Spirit Hall.
"If Heavenly Path Academy can nurture such peerless talents, it must possess something truly unique."
Hu Liena raised her head, golden eyes shining with longing for true strength.
"This disciple is willing to go as a learner, to seek advancement in cultivation and to uncover Heavenly Path Academy's foundation for Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong looked at her resolute expression, a trace of approval flashing through her icy eyes.
"Very well. Once the location of Heavenly Path Academy is confirmed, you will depart immediately."
"Remember, set aside your identity as the Saintess of the Papal Palace. Seek the Dao with the heart of a pure soul master. If you encounter opportunities, do not let them slip away."
"Xie Yue, Yan, you must also remember this."
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
When the information of Martial Soul Rankings Fourth reached the Hall of Worship, the six Great Worship Elders who were in discussion were instantly thrown into an uproar.
"Becoming a Titled Douluo at twenty three? Impossible!"
Qingluan Douluo suddenly stood up, his seat shattering under the surge of soul power.
"This old man was already fifty three when I broke through to Titled Douluo. Is this Yun Ming some kind of monster?"
Qian Daoliu stood at the center of the Hall of Worship, his gaze locked onto the illusory ranking in the air, his hands trembling unconsciously.
As the guardian of the Angel God, he believed he had seen the pinnacle of talent in this world, yet the evaluation stating that Yun Ming was about to create a God King level divine position completely overturned his understanding.
"Creating a divine position… starting at the God King tier before even ascending…"
He murmured to himself. The excitement he had felt earlier over Qian Renxue's appearance on the rankings had vanished without a trace, leaving only deep helplessness.
In front of such talent, even Qian Renxue, the reincarnation of the Angel God, seemed dim.
The hall fell into a long silence, broken only by the flowing radiance of the Martial Soul Rankings.
After a long while, Qian Daoliu spoke in a deep voice. "Issue the order. Monitor closely. Investigate Heavenly Path Academy's movements. Unless absolutely necessary, do not provoke any conflict with them."
The six Great Worship Elders nodded in unison. At this moment, they finally understood that the structure of the continent had been completely altered by a place called Heavenly Path Academy.
Inside a carriage, Qian Renxue stared at the information of Martial Soul Rankings Fourth as the soul power gathered in her hand uncontrollably dispersed.
Having awakened her memories from a past life, she had never doubted her own superiority, even when her ranking failed to enter the top five, believing only that this era was filled with many geniuses.
Yet Yun Ming's record poured cold water over her arrogance.
"Becoming a Titled Douluo at twenty three…"
Qian Renxue's fingertips turned icy. What shook her even more was the evaluation of "creating a God King level divine position."
In her previous life, she too had been a prodigy who created her own divine position, yet Yun Ming had forged an entirely new path by his own strength, and his starting point was already at the God King level.
The difficulty and brilliance behind this shocked her even more than others, as an Angel God who had only barely reached the first tier of gods.
Creating a divine position without borrowing the faith of all living beings, relying solely on personal strength.
Recalling her earlier plan of faking her death and watching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire tear each other apart, Qian Renxue felt it was laughable.
In front of a genius like Yun Ming, the struggles of secular imperial power were nothing more than child's play.
The small angel sword at her brow faintly heated up, a warning from the depths of her soul. In this era, there existed someone even more dangerous than the successor of the Shura God.
"Grandfather Golden Crocodile."
Qian Renxue's voice returned to its calm surface, yet carried unprecedented gravity.
"Cancel the original plan. After the matter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is settled, we will first investigate the location of Heavenly Path Academy."
She looked out the window, her gaze complex and unreadable. "I want to see with my own eyes what kind of secrets lie within the place that can give birth to such a person."
Only now did Qian Renxue truly understand that her opponent had never been Xue Ye or Ning Fengzhi, but Yun Ming, and perhaps those ranked above him.
Qian Renxue stared at the golden light piercing the heavens, her fingers digging deeply into her palm.
The reward Yun Ming received was far more shocking than anyone else's, directly assisting in the completion of a God King level divine position and even raising its tier further. Such generosity made even her, the reincarnation of the Angel God, feel alarmed.
"If fourth place already possesses such strength and opportunity, just how terrifying must the top three be?"
Her heart tightened inexplicably. Memories of her past life as the Angel God told her that the continent had never seen such a dense concentration of God King level talents.
She forced herself to calm down and began deducing possible candidates one by one.
"Could they be inheritors of other hidden forces, or peerless geniuses like Yun Ming who can create their own divine positions?"
Qian Renxue lifted her head toward the direction of the Martial Soul Rankings, her eyes filled with vigilance.
"No matter which possibility it is, the existence of the top three will become a massive obstacle to my vengeance against the Shura God and the restoration of the Angel God's glory."
Golden Crocodile Douluo saw her heavy expression and spoke in a low voice. "Xue'er, the top three are indeed terrifying, but you are the reincarnation of the Angel God and have received opportunities from the Golden Rankings. You may not be without the capital to contend with them."
Qian Renxue shook her head, her tone more serious than ever before.
"Grandfather Golden Crocodile, you do not understand. Yun Ming's appearance has already broken all conventions. The top three may conceal existences even more subversive."
"We must uncover their details as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the future, we will only find it harder and harder to move forward."
Her gaze remained fixed on the Martial Soul Rankings, waiting for the final answer that would shake the entire continent.
At Heavenly Path Academy, before the information of Martial Soul Rankings Fourth had fully faded, a brilliant golden light descended from the heavens, precisely enveloping Yun Ming within the academy.
The light was gentle yet carried unquestionable divinity. Wherever it passed, space rippled faintly.
The soul power around Yun Ming instantly boiled, the aura that had already touched the threshold of a divine position surging explosively.
He could clearly sense the power of the Golden Rankings pouring into his divine soul through his martial soul, the Heaven Piercing Divine Spear. The bottlenecks that had plagued his divine position construction for nearly a hundred years melted away like ice meeting the blazing sun.
"So that is how it is. It turns out to be this way!"
Within his dantian, quasi god level soul power began transforming toward a more profound state, a pressure surpassing ordinary God Kings quietly spreading.
"The divine position prototype is stable, and its tier truly exceeds that of a conventional God King!"
Yun Ming opened his eyes, joy and clarity flashing through them, and gave a slight nod toward the Martial Soul Rankings in the sky.
The only lifelong wish of his existence had finally been fulfilled.
Ya Li stepped forward quickly, her eyes full of relief. "Brother Ming, congratulations. You have finally achieved your long cherished wish."
Li Tianyi stood with his hands behind his back, a smile at the corner of his lips.
"Yun Ming, this foundation of a God King is enough to make those old fellows in the God Realm look at you in a new light."
Ye Lingling and the other students were filled with admiration. To witness the birth of a God King level powerhouse with their own eyes was an unforgettable opportunity for them.
