Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1429 - 457: True and False Yang Zhun, Strength and Trials, Teaming Episode, Cai Qiu’s Foundations

”Alright, you go practice!”

Xia Hong waved Su Xing’er away, then looked down at the Heavenly List Book in his hand, shaking his head slightly.

Since he left the Bone-Eroding Path for Evergreen Valley last August, he has been in Cai Qiu for over a year. During this time, he lived in Qinghua City for four months, spent a month on the road, and then stayed in Lin Chu County city for four months. His understanding of Cai Qiu and the entire Four Great Feudal Towns is substantial.

The number of Xianyang level individuals in Cai Qiu is conservatively estimated to be over a hundred; considering that he hasn’t even visited the core towns of Cai Qiu, even if we double that estimate, it wouldn’t exceed three hundred.

Thus, in the entire Four Great Feudal Towns, the number of Xianyang level individuals could not exceed three digits.

According to Xia Hong’s observations, the population of Cai Qiu is undoubtedly over 20 million; so, the total population of the Four Great Feudal Towns probably isn’t far from a hundred million.

With such a large population, having less than 1,000 Xianyang level individuals makes their proportion extraordinarily significant, ensuring the Xianyang level’s high status in the Four Great Feudal Towns, even if it isn’t as supreme as in the Nine Towns Territory.

Among such a group, selecting the 100 strongest and ranking them, there is no other force with the qualification or ability other than the Four Great Feudal Towns’ official organizations.

His inclusion in the list directly proved this point.

Looking at his brief information on the list page, Xia Hong shook his head again.

Many saw his fight with Cai Yunzhou, but in Qinghua City at the time, only Cai Yunzhou, who fought with him, could tell he had won. Thus, his ascendance on the Heavenly List must have been due to Cai Yunzhou leaking the news.

As Su Xing’er said, his appearance on the list made him a famous figure in the Moao River area, with the name Hong Yu known throughout the Four Great Feudal Towns.

Xia Hong is not one to seek attention, especially since his purpose in Moao River’s territory isn’t simple. However, the situation is already settled, and blaming Cai Yunzhou serves no purpose.

He first shook his head, then continued to peruse with curiosity.

This list, being officially compiled, must have some reference value regarding the top-level Xianyang experts in the Four Feudal Towns.

Xia Hong didn’t waste any time and started reading from the first page:

[Heavenly List Rank One: Heavenly Demon Slayer Li Dingyang, Wei Bo Cangyang County, a fifth-generation descendant of the Landgrave’s Lineage, Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation, Caiqiu Calendar Year 289, aged 58, at Cold Wave Lake on the northern Wei Bo border, beheaded Five Luminaries Realm Water Beast Emperor Green Demon Flood Dragon, becoming legendary in one battle, recognized as the foremost under the Tribulation Body Realm in the Four Great Feudal Towns.]

Level crossing, killing a Beast Emperor higher than one’s own cultivation realm?

”This Li Dingyang, is he really such a monster?”

Upon finishing the first page, Xia Hong was stunned, his face full of shock.

He can also fight opponents of higher ranks.

But he crosses smaller realms, and those against humans.

The cultivation realms of humans correspond with the levels of Cold Beasts, yet the common rule in the Ice Abyss is that Cold Beasts at the same level essentially overpower humans.

For instance, low-level Cold Beasts crush the Logging Realm; intermediates crush the Earth-Digging Realm; advanced crush the Cold Resistance Level; Beast Kings crush the Xianyang Level.

Humans initially break this rule at the Cold Resistance Level by enhancing their War Body Talent to close the gap with advanced Cold Beasts, and if the War Body Talent is inadequate, they can resort to Dan Medicine.

Then, reaching the Xianyang Level, things normalize again.

To date, the lowest power of Beast King level Cold Beasts Xia Hong has faced was over 9 Jun, and based on his breakthrough experience, if he broke through at the normal Iron Bone level, his final strength would be only 3 Jun. Even he struggled in such situations, let alone others.

When speculating on realm strength, Xia Hong typically doesn’t use himself as a reference point. His situation is simply too unique to find another example.

For someone as talented as him, upon breaking through to the Xianyang Level, his strength at most reaches 10 Jun, barely comparable to the weakest Beast King level, and he has yet to encounter someone more talented than himself.

Consequently, like during the Cold Resistance Level, when an average person breaks through to the Xianyang Level, they are invariably crushed by Beast King level Cold Beasts. To bridge the strength gap, they can only use Dan Medicine to cultivate and boost their cultivation.

Continuing this reasoning, a Beast Emperor’s strength surely surpasses ordinary Tribulation Body Realm experts.

Yet, this Li Dingyang hasn’t even reached the Tribulation Body Realm cultivation.

He’s only at the Peak of the Xianyang Realm!

This is like he eliminated a Beast King level Cold Beast at his Peak Cold Resistance cultivation, which is simply impossible.

Xia Hong’s pupils were filled with shock as he continued reading Li Dingyang’s data, finding no further description of his abilities beyond the Beast Emperor kill, so he steadied himself before continuing to the next page.

[Heavenly List Rank Two: Heshuo Sword God Li Wuji, Wei Bo Heshuo County, a fourth-generation descendant of the Landgrave’s Lineage, uncle to Li Dingyang, Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation, Caiqiu Calendar Year 287, aged 68, surrounded by three Wood Element Beast Emperor level Snow Phoenixes near Qinghua City in Baisui County, ultimately escaped with his life.]

Another one who faced off against Beast Emperors, and it was at Snow Phoenix Mountain!

When in Qinghua City, Xia Hong happened to visit Snow Phoenix Mountain, where he obtained the Five-Colored Demon Zither from the White Phoenix Forest under Snow Phoenix Mountain.

Being hunted by three Beast Emperor level Snow Phoenixes and then successfully escaping alive, Li Wuji’s achievement is clearly not as impressive as Li Dingyang’s. However, Xia Hong, who personally hunted advanced Snow Phoenixes, knows that the most formidable aspect of these creatures is their speed.
