Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Other clans were bringing an army, and each clan had a large number of participants. According to the Heavenly Dao's rules, each clan could send up to a thousand people to the battlefield, and every clan had indeed brought their full quota.

Although only a few world immortals were seated, there were over nine hundred others standing behind them, looking imposing and ready for battle. Their expressions varied, but it was clear that they were not easy opponents.

In contrast, the human race had only three representatives, and even the seats allocated by the Sacred Angel Clan weren't filled. It was clear to everyone that the human race was struggling and in a weak position, making them an easy target.

Those who were determined to climb the ranks of the Hundred Clans List and gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and thus ensure their clan's growth, couldn't help but focus on the human race.

The human camp was vast and filled with people, all exuding a fierce aura.

"Why are they bringing so many people? Isn't that just giving others free points?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

According to the rules, the fewer people a clan sent, the stronger they must be, as fewer would be needed to claim points and rank higher. Therefore, a clan would only need to send a few top-tier world immortals to enter the ancient battlefield, break through quickly, and then massacre others to seize their points.

Bringing a thousand people seemed like a burden.

"The ancient battlefield in the Hundred Clans War is home to ancient roads, relics, and even incomplete treasures or ancient techniques. Anyone who obtains them will rise rapidly. The clans treat it like a trial ground for their younger generations. Among those thousand, if even one survives, they will achieve great things," the Painted Skin Scholar explained.

"I see…" Lin Jiufeng understood but still held his own view. "I still think sending ten peak world immortals would be quicker. They could just massacre their way through."

"That approach is too obvious. You'd be targeted immediately," Sword God Emperor Liu interjected.

The Painted Skin Scholar pointed. "Look at the Ancient King Clan's area."

Lin Jiufeng glanced over and easily found the Ancient King Clan; they were seated in the tenth position. Apart from Purple Blue Ancestor King, there were five other Ancestor Kings sitting there, all of whom were world immortals.

"Six world immortals from the Ancient King Clan?" Lin Jiufeng remarked.

"That's just what's visible," the Painted Skin Scholar said softly.

"Are there more hidden?" Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.

"Definitely. If you look closely at the people standing behind them, some of them have a strange aura. Though they're trying to suppress it and stay within the limits of the fifteenth realm, you can still notice," the Painted Skin Scholar explained.

Lin Jiufeng immediately focused but couldn't discern anything, as he didn't have the Painted Skin Scholar's keen perception.

"Don't bother looking," the Painted Skin Scholar said. "These are just surface-level schemes. It's not just the Ancient King Clan, the other clans are doing the same. So, when you enter the ancient battlefield later, be cautious and don't let your guard down."

"Wait, will we be separated when we enter the battlefield?" Lin Jiufeng asked in astonishment.

"Yes, it's random. I don't know where you'll end up either," the Painted Skin Scholar answered seriously.

Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath, his pressure mounting. If he was randomly placed with clans that held grudges against him, he would be in grave danger.

While Lin Jiufeng and the Painted Skin Scholar were talking, Purple Blue Ancestor King from the Ancient King Clan turned his cold eyes toward them. His gaze was filled with murderous intent, and the anger emanating from him was overwhelming.

He noticed Lin Jiufeng's gaze and coldly stared back, silently mouthing, "I will kill you."

Lin Jiufeng instantly became annoyed. "You're a world immortal, so what?"

With a sharp glare, he silently retorted, "What's your problem, old man?"

Purple Blue Ancestor King's fury erupted. He stood up, unable to suppress his rage any longer, ready to lash out.

Boom!

At that moment, an invisible force pressed down from the heavens, accompanied by a vast, holy aura. The great path of the universe surged, and spiritual energy manifested as sacred beings—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger...

These phenomena lit up the surroundings, and most of the crowd gasped in astonishment, unsure of what was happening. However, some older figures stood up in excitement, pointing toward the sky.

"The Heavenly Dao Golden List has arrived!"

The Painted Skin Scholar had already predicted this, explaining to Lin Jiufeng.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the sky and formed into a list. When it opened, the first name on the list was the Sacred Angel Clan!

The Heavenly Dao Golden List ranked the Hundred Clans. One by one, the names of the clans appeared, with the human race landing at number ninety-nine.

After the Heavenly Dao Golden List appeared, the clans outside the Hundred Clans were thrilled. They were all focused on the last ten clans, hoping that their clan would rise up the ranks this time.

"After the Heavenly Dao Golden List is revealed, jade tokens will be distributed. Keep them safe, and then you'll enter the ancient battlefield," the Painted Skin Scholar reminded.

Lin Jiufeng nodded, mentally noting this down.

After the Golden List unfolded, it emitted rings of ordered divine chains, enveloping the entire area. It seemed to be counting every individual, and after a while, the list shook gently. The great path and spiritual energy converged, forming a jade token.

As soon as one jade token appeared, another followed, and soon, the sky was filled with them. Each jade token had only one number inscribed on it.

"One!"

Sword God Emperor Liu explained, "This is your initial score. If you kill someone and seize their jade token, just lightly tap your token, and their score will transfer to you. Your token will then change to 'Two'."

"Keep your jade token safe and don't let anyone see it," the Painted Skin Scholar added.

Lin Jiufeng nodded and kept this in mind.

As they spoke, the jade tokens began to fall, one by one, accurately landing in front of everyone.

Lin Jiufeng's token hovered in front of him. Without hesitation, he reached out and took it. The token felt solid and sturdy, made of a combination of great paths and spiritual energy.

In the next moment, he placed the jade token into his Taiyuan Immortal Manor to ensure its safety.

However, at that moment, Lin Jiufeng felt a sense of confusion. "Can't the Heavenly Dao Golden List sense the divine beast Qilin that I've hidden in my inner world?"

A voice from the Taiyuan Immortal echoed, "There was a force that scanned your inner world earlier, but I used the Taiyuan Immortal Manor to shield the divine beast Qilin, so it went undetected."

"I see," Lin Jiufeng understood, but he was still puzzled. "A replica of the Taiyuan Immortal Manor can block the Heavenly Dao?"

The Taiyuan Immortal's voice hesitated, then said, "There's something off about this Heavenly Dao..."

"What's wrong with it?" Lin Jiufeng immediately pressed.

The Taiyuan Immortal hesitated again before responding.
