Chapter 202: Chapter 18: The Fifth on the Qiankun List
The path of soul succession for demons is almost the same as that for the Human Race.
Those with a legacy continue the souls of their demonic ancestors.
Those without a legacy can only seek to worship under other Great Demons to receive their heritage.
Thus, demons also have their own forces and circles.
If they were still living in the Divine General Mansion, Li Hao could have helped the little white fox by sending it to Qingqiu Mountain, where the Fox Clan resides.
Qingqiu Mountain is also one of the forces affiliated with the Li Family.
The Qingqiu Mountain elder who measured bones was actually a Great Demon Fox.
However, a great war had broken out on Qingqiu Mountain a thousand years ago, where the Fox Lord perished, and for many years, no Demon King of the Four Stands Realm had been born, so they could only submit and affiliate with the Dayu Divine Dynasty.
"Hang on a little longer. When I return, I\'ll look for an opportunity to see if there are any wild tombs of Demon Kings outside the frontier," Li Hao said as he caressed the little white fox, "If it really doesn\'t work out, give me some time, and I\'ll slay a Demon King for you in the future so you can succeed its soul."
The Soul Succession Realm is very crucial. He himself could fight beyond his realm largely because of the soul succession from heaven and earth, allowing him to condense the soul 360 times, far exceeding others in the same realm by four to five times, or even ten times.
With the subsequent enhancements at each realm, when taken cumulatively, they granted him this strength.
The little white fox nodded obediently and flashed a fox-like smile upon hearing Li Hao\'s words.
Li Hao borrowed a bag of Silver Coins from Song Qiumo and set off with Ren Qianqian.
The little white fox was left behind at the camp, entrusted to Song Qiumo for care.
Ren Qianqian helped Li Hao carry his sword, while Li Hao ... carried Ren Qianqian.
However, this "carrying" involved using the power of object manipulation to lift her up. The two of them, one after the other, flew out of the camp.
Feng\'s figure followed from a distance, stepping silently in the snow and wind.
Li He still chose to secretly follow behind Li Hao, continuing his duty as a protector.
Although he now knew that this young master\'s combat strength was second to none compared to his own, it was an order from the military.
...
...
Dayue City is located at the central-northwestern part of Liangzhou.
This place has thoroughfares in all directions, and outside the city, there are neither mountains nor forests, just a vast plain, serving as the northwest axis of Liangzhou.
Every month, countless escort and merchant caravans come here.
The winter snow blankets the land, creating a monochrome world, but the wheels of the carriages create dark streaks on the earth, like deep black tears.
On the main road outside the city, carriages gallop from all directions, forming a continuous stream on the wide imperial road and entering the majestic city walls.
"Miss, Dayue City is ahead of us," said a plainly dressed maid in simple clothes and soft armor to the young girl beside her.
The girl, with a sword at her waist and dressed in white, looks out of the carriage, taking in the sight of the towering walls, as imposing as a mountain range at the horizon.
"This Dayue City\'s momentum is not inferior to Qingzhou City," the girl murmured as she gazed intently.
She was none other than Li Wushuang, who accompanied her father to Liangzhou.
Having arrived at the military camp and not staying for long, she heard about the Grandmaster\'s gathering hosted by the Hermit Tianji and immediately disguised herself. Taking the two female guards her father, Li Xuanli, had arranged for her from the army, she rushed over overnight.
"This city houses one of the seven major families of Liangzhou and is also where the third wealthiest person in Liangzhou resides, hence its grandeur," explained the maid.
Li Wushuang nodded slightly, appearing unconcerned.
Any family or noble house paled in comparison to the prestigious Divine General Mansion.
Her gaze swept over the official road and the snowy plains around it, as well as the distant mountains only visible at the edge of the horizon, she muttered to herself:
"If this place were to engage with Demons in battle, a sizable army could be gathered. It\'s a central area, making it difficult for the Demons to hide their tracks."
The maid smiled faintly upon hearing this; indeed, she was a general\'s daughter, with a focus entirely different from that of the usual noble young ladies.
"Coming here to learn the Dao could lay a foundation for my entry into the Heavenly Human Realm in the future, and it would also be beneficial for my breakthrough into the Fifteen Li Realm. There\'s even the possibility to advance further on the Qian Dragon List!" Li Wushuang\'s eyes sparkled.
The Qiankun List is divided into two lists. Those over 18 years of age are not allowed to be recorded in the Qian Phoenix List.
Those over 22 years of age are not allowed to be recorded in the Qian Dragon List.
The Qiankun List is primarily for the young.
Those prodigies from noble families mainly vie for a spot in the Qian Phoenix List. While those who qualify for the Qian Dragon List are mostly scions of the Divine General Mansion or top forces, such as disciples from Gan Tao Palace and Mount Wuliang, or direct heirs from other first-rate sects.
To be listed in the Qiankun List means to be recognized as the most outstanding youth in the Dayu Divine Dynasty.
The only criteria for being listed are the evaluation of one\'s cultivation realm and actual combat achievements!
Hence, many noble offspring enter Jianghu, showcase valor and righteousness, slay Demons and monsters, and make a name for themselves, hoping to attract attention and be included in the Qiankun List.
Once listed, they receive invitations from various powers and aid from numerous resources. The path of cultivation becomes smooth, and there\'s no longer any need to worry about the lack of cultivation techniques, resources, or weapons. One only needs to focus on cultivation.
Li Wushuang is currently ranked just outside the top thirty on the Qian Dragon List.
Those ahead of her, all the way up to the 28th place, are geniuses of the Fifteen Li Realm.
They come from various forces, or are the direct heirs of supreme warriors like Sword Saints or Blade Saints.
Among these, Li Wushuang recognizes many by name, some she is even well-acquainted with, such as the two from the Divine Travel Realm among those who precede her. Ranked at 28th is Li Hao\'s betrothed, Bian Ruxue.
Both are in the Divine Travel Realm, but she ranks slightly higher than Wushuang.
