This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 572: Chapter 53: Yellow List, No. 3

On the edge of the Western Territory of Central Heavenly Realm, in the State City of Qi State.

The latest rankings from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s four lists were officially released, attracting many cultivators to gather here to watch.

It was the bustling season again, but compared to the past, today seemed unusually lively.

“Why are there so many people today?” a young cultivator muttered, almost failing to squeeze to the front of the crowd.

“Lu Qingshan, who is ranked ninety-fifth on the Yellow List as ‘Sword Severing River,’ fought and defeated a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator in the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall.

This unprecedented event has caught the attention of many, and the number of interested cultivators has risen significantly, leading to this viewing frenzy,” someone next to him explained.

This battle had been so sensational, and with Marquis Luotang intentionally stirring up momentum, a large number of cultivators who heard the news became very interested, leading to this wave of excitement for the ranking announcement.

Of course, the Seven Domains were vast, and despite the widespread news, there were still many cultivators who did not know about this event.

This young cultivator happened to be one of them.

“A Nascent Soul fighting and defeating a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator?!” The young cultivator exclaimed in surprise, shocked by the news.

He had only been closed off and practicing his spells for half a year; he hadn’t expected such a significant event to occur in the outside world.

The young cultivator hurriedly looked towards the Yellow List with concern, cultivating his experience from the very beginning.

—The achievements from fighting a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator would surely secure Lu Qingshan a prominent place on the Yellow List.

His expectations were not wrong, and indeed, right after the names “Vast Righteousness Sword” and “Eight-armed Vajra,” Lu Qingshan’s name prominently appeared.

Name: Lu Qingshan

Ranking: Third place

Cultivation: Nascent Soul Late Stage, possesses Perfection Realm Slaughter Sword Intent (Upper Tier Intent), Unity Realm Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent (Upper Tier Intent), Unity Realm Immortal True Intent (Primordial Intent), Weakened Realm Causality True Intent (Primordial Intent), adept at offense.

Master of both Internal and External Sword, controls two Secret Sword techniques…. ‘Heaven Suppressing’ Secret Sword has reached mastery with outstanding power; Flying Sword is beginning to glimpse the realm of ‘Sword Birth Thunder Fire’.

He has three Life-bound Swords, the Fire Attribute Life-bound Sword is highly likely a Pseudo Dao Artifact, the Wood Attribute Life-bound Sword is a superior grade Heavenly Artifact, and the newly crafted Water Attribute Life-bound Sword is also highly likely a Pseudo Dao Artifact.

Combat achievements: …..Sword Severing the great tides of the Fengling River;…slaying the Void Refining Middle Stage Sand Bandit, Bald Vulture Old Man….; outside the town of Xiao Wan, encountering an attack from the Void Refining Late Stage Gui Yuan True Venerable, the specifics of the battle are unknown, but it ended with the fall of Gui Yuan True Venerable;

In the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall, he triumphed over the legitimate son of Marquis Luotang, the Void Refining Late Stage Body Cultivator “Luo Yi,” with spectacular bravery and awe-inspiring swordsmanship.

Nickname: Sword Definite, Sword Severing River

Identity: Champion of the first Seven Domains Debate; disciple of the Sword Sect; Chief Disciple of ‘The Strongest Seventh Realm,’ Luo Shen Fairy Xia Daoyun.

…

Although the cultivators around had expected Lu Qingshan’s ranking to soar with the Yellow List update, witnessing this scene still left them with an unspeakable shock.

“He actually has two Primordial Intents, is this child truly so gifted?”

“Since when has Primordial Intent become as common as a farmer’s cabbage, with a buy-one-get-one deal?”

Everyone couldn’t help exchanging glances after seeing the detailed explanation of Lu Qingshan’s cultivation.

“Ji Chuan only has one Primordial Intent!”

“If it were not for his slightly less experience and his cultivation not yet reaching Perfection, Lu Qingshan might even have a chance to top the list,” commented a knowledgeable spectator among the cultivators.

Because, in terms of combat achievements alone, Lu Qingshan seemed to have surpassed his senior ‘Vast Righteousness Sword.’

While the rankings of the four lists largely depend on combat achievements, cultivation realm and seniority are also considered in order to ensure relative fairness in the ranking.

“In just half a year, to jump from entering the Yellow List to third place on the Yellow List,” an older cultivator in the crowd exhaled deeply, pinpointing the key point, and commented, “This must be unprecedented since the creation of the four lists.”

“Like master, like disciple. The cultivators who watched Luo Shen Fairy in the past must feel the same looking at ‘Sword Definite’ as we do now.”

The surrounding voices of admiration began to rise, with some even vividly recounting the scene of the battle in the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall based on hearsay as if they had personally witnessed the fight.

The details were so precise, down to the stance of every sword strike.

A monkey-faced Sword Cultivator, while watching, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority, “The top three on the Yellow List, with Sword Cultivators occupying two spots, our Sword Cultivation is flourishing!”

Soon, he received many dissatisfied looks, most of which apparently came from Dharma Cultivators.

However, the monkey-faced Sword Cultivator didn’t mind, with the irrefutable facts before him, what else could these self-righteous Dharma Cultivators do in their discontent?

“Dharma Cultivation, indeed, is not as prominent as before,” chimed in another cultivator at that moment, cheekily joining in the conversation.

It’s hard to differentiate the strength in the Daoist lineages amongst the six cultivators, but they do have their distinctions in status.

First and foremost, standing at the top of the hierarchy are the Dharma Cultivators.

Since the rise of Ancestral Daoist Xia as the first among the Human Race adopting the path of Dharma Cultivation, the sense of superiority amongst Dharma Cultivators has reached the pinnacle, viewing themselves as the orthodox lineage of Taoism.

Given their large numbers, the saying “All else are inferior, only Dharma Cultivation stands supreme” spread far and wide.

This caused other cultivator factions to feel discontent to some degree, so naturally, they couldn’t miss the opportunity to take a jab at these Dharma Cultivators.

As for Spiritual Cultivators, Nether Cultivators, and Beast Cultivators, due to their unique strengths, they are more or less on an equal footing in terms of status.

Spiritual Cultivators have capabilities that are profound and mysterious, who would dare disrespect them?
