Chapter 585: Chapter 556: Establishing the Celestial List
Ordinary people.
In several decades, let alone breaking through, stabilizing one’s foundation is already a challenge.
Like the Cyan Emperor, who has been ascending for two hundred plus years, even with the fortuitous opportunities from the Divine Kingdom’s store, he could barely break through to mid-grade tenth level.
Yet, Shen Xue took only thirty years to reach the peak of low-grade tenth level, and in the next twenty years, she might have the chance to reach mid-grade tenth level. This talent is beyond mere description.
From Shen Xue, Gu Qingyang sees immense Qi Luck.
This Qi Luck.
Originates from the Magic System.
"As a pioneer of the Magic System, Shen Xue is favored by Qi Luck, allowing her to be qualified to breakthrough to mid-grade tenth level within thirty years.
Under such immense Qi Luck, even a mediocre person would progress rapidly, not to mention Shen Xue’s inherent talent isn’t weak. With both factors combined, her cultivation speed naturally outpaces others.
However, Qi Luck isn’t fixed. If someday a practitioner surpasses her, there’s a possibility of some Qi Luck being taken away.
After all, as a pioneer of a cultivation system, one’s cultivation must be unparalleled; failing to achieve this is understandably influenced.
But from the current standpoint, there seems to be no one who can surpass Shen Xue in the Magic System!"
Gu Qingyang mused.
Other Star Law Gods are only consolidating their realms, while she is about to breakthrough to mid-grade tenth level; the gap is obvious.
As the saying goes, one step behind leads to being behind at every step.
The chance for latecomers to catch up with her pace, if not impossible, is extremely slim.
"Three million years have passed roughly two hundred plus years, leaving two million nine hundred seventy thousand plus years, which is neither short nor long. At the current pace, top-tier experts in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm after three million years will be limited as well!"
Gu Qingyang’s Divine Thought envelops the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm, all practitioners are within his view.
Two hundred million ninth-level practitioners.
Only one hundred and fifty tenth-level practitioners.
This proportion is roughly one hundred and fifty thousand to one, demonstrating the vast leap from ninth to tenth level.
Such a leap.
Can be described as a sheer cliff.
In comparison, though eighth-level practitioners outnumber ninth-level practitioners significantly, at most their ratio is dozens to one, or at most one hundred to one, vastly different from the ninth to tenth-level ratio which is tens of thousands of times more.
In the end.
The appearance of such a situation is rooted in two reasons.
The first is the Immortal Tribulation.
The Immortal Tribulation is strong, causing many practitioners to fall below it and ultimately meet a gloomy demise.
This is why those who can ascend to immortality view ninth-level practitioners as ants.
Because the Immortal Tribulation acts as a filtering criterion, disqualified practitioners are barred from becoming immortal, preventing some from exploiting fortuitous opportunities to ascend.
Only practitioners with truly strong foundations can genuinely overcome the Immortal Tribulation.
That is to say.
Any strong practitioner who can transcend the Immortal Tribulation is never a worthless one.
Though some tenth-level practitioners may be crushed by others at the same level, against those below tenth-level, they can still easily dominate.
This is why Demon Venerable Xuan Yin said it’s rare throughout history for true prodigies to vanquish immortals from ordinary statuses. freewebnoveℓ.com
The second reason.
Is the difficulty.
Breaking through from ninth to tenth level, the cultivation difficulty isn’t merely hundreds of times more intense than other realm breakthroughs.
"Immediate action is needed to enhance practitioner strength!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Gu Qingyang glanced at his attribute panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Cyan Yang Divine Realm (Third Level)
Combat Power: Low-grade Thirteenth Level
Divine Kingdom: Eleventh Level (15000 Capitals/100000 Capitals)
Heavenly Dao Origin: 8605200
...
Decades of accumulation.
The Faith Power on the data panel has reached fifteen thousand Capitals.
Because over the years, as the population and number of strong practitioners increased, Gu Qingyang gained an average of sixty Capitals in Faith Power annually, subtracting around ten Capitals of annual consumption, now amounting to approximately fifteen thousand Capitals remaining.
Fifteen thousand Capitals!
Converted to trillion units, that’s fifteen hundred million trillion.
Exchanged entirely for high-grade Immortal Bodies, it could add ten thousand tenth-level experts to the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
"Giving away Immortal Bodies for free is impossible, setting up some ranking rewards is necessary..."
Gu Qingyang pondered quietly.
Giving away freely.
Is impossible.
Giving away everything freely would naturally create dependency among these followers, which Gu Qingyang wishes to avoid, preventing them from becoming idle and reliant.
Therefore.
He thought long and hard.
Deciding to emulate previous times and hold another examination competition.
As for the rewards of the examination competition, naturally, Gu Qingyang would pay out of his own pocket.
For him currently, ascending to Twelfth-Level Divine Kingdom isn’t as urgent anymore.
Especially considering that the strongest local practitioners in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm are mostly around tenth-level, with not a single eleventh-level sighted, let alone twelfth-level.
The current Eleventh-Level Divine Kingdom is completely sufficient.
Moreover, ascending the Divine Kingdom offers limited power enhancement to Gu Qingyang, far less tangible than ascending the heavens and earth.
And heavens and earth ascension.
Is closely tied to practitioner strength.
Coupled with Faith Power, the stronger the practitioner’s power, the richer the Faith Power provided.
Thus.
Gu Qingyang plans to refashion the amassed Faith Power and allocate it to some practitioners to enhance their strength, preparing for future endeavors.

Before they could be overly shocked, a second Divine Kingdom announcement quickly followed.
