Just as Ou Shaotian began his closed-door cultivation, the Myriad Races Alliance also received news of the death of the Rank 9 God Race's Zhen Shan.
At first, they thought he was hiding to recuperate.
It wasn't until the God Race sent news that Zhen Shan's soul flame was extinguished that the Myriad Races Alliance learned of his death.
Thus, the Myriad Races Alliance issued a mission to search for Zhen Shan's corpse.
The Bloody Island was also in an uproar. After all, the death of a Rank 9 was too shocking.
Unfortunately, no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find out that the Rank 9 God Race was killed by Ou Shaotian and that his corpse was devoured by Little Vine.
Just like that, days passed while Ou Shaotian was in closed-door cultivation.
Unknowingly, it was the day of the Archaion Sect's true disciple ranking battle. There were only three days left until the end of the registration.
At noon on this day, a soul fluctuation soared into the sky. Ou Shaotian had finally completed his breakthrough and reached the first level of spirit refinement.
Character: Ou Shaotian
Realm: Rank 8, Level 1
Innate Spirit: Purple Gold Mystic Turtle
Godly Source Energy: 1 million
Contracted Soul Pet: Red Koi, Little Vine
Weapon: Skylark Saber, Heaven-Grade Treasure Bow
Main Cultivation Technique: Archaion Godbody (Seventh Transformation), Extreme Path Body Tempering Technique (First level of spirit refinement)
… …
Through a large pile of resources, he completed the refinement of his six organs.
From skin refinement to six organs refinement, his entire body, inside and out, except for his brain, was basically all refined. His cultivation had also reached the peak of Rank 7.
However, the breakthrough to Rank 8 was the most crucial.
Rank 6 refined organs, rank 7 refined organs, and rank 8 refined the brain, which was also the spirit refinement. Each refinement was more dangerous than the last.
Now, the refinement was finally complete.
The instant Ou Shaotian completed the first level of spirit refinement, his soul also underwent a complete transformation, achieving a perfect fusion with his spirit soul.
After reaching Rank 8, even if he lost his physical body, his soul could still survive by attaching itself to the Purple Gold Mystic Turtle.
Moreover, after reaching Rank 8, he could learn how to fly.
Even if the central region had a hundred times the atmospheric pressure, he could still fly again, just like flying in legends.
"This is Rank 8? So powerful, such perfect control!"
Ou Shaotian couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.
After Lin Fan's mental energy had transformed into a God Soul, he felt completely different. Looking into his body, he could see that all the changes in his physical body were within his control.
This was only a single tempering, and he was already so strong!
If he completed the ninth tempering, how strong would he become?
However, it was too difficult to refine one's spirit. He could only do it bit by bit, using the God Source Energy to refine his brain bit by bit.
Unless he could find a spiritual herb that could enhance his soul, it would be very difficult for him to complete the ninth tempering.
Many people chose to ascend to the Ninth-Order after completing one round of tempering and condensing their soul.
If the tempering of the five viscera and six bowels was ten times or a hundred times more difficult, then the tempering of the brain was a thousand times or even ten thousand times more difficult.
"Let's come out first. The ranking tournament is about to begin!"
After Ou Shaotian said that, he turned off the array formation restriction and looked outside. However, he didn't see Little Baby. She was likely still in kindergarten.
He used the radar to check. The little baby was indeed in kindergarten.
They could only meet again next time.
Then, with a single thought, he left the world of gates.
Spiritual Botany Peak, a farmyard.
Under the care of the mechanical marionette, the Blood Crystal Rice in the backyard was flourishing with leaves and fruits. The plump Blood Crystal Rice even bent the tree branches.
It was time to harvest.
He took out a pair of special scissors and cut off the plump Blood Crystal Rice.
"Shaotian, you are out!"
Niu Wenzhan, who had just returned, could not help but exclaim happily when he saw Ou Shaotian harvesting the Blood Crystal Rice.
"I just came out!"
Ou Shaotian said as he harvested.
"Let me help you!"
Niu Wenzhan opened the door from the backyard and enthusiastically helped.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. However, you have to be careful. The extra twelve Blood Crystal Rice trees were planted by you, right? Someone is eyeing these Blood Crystal Rice trees."
"Who is it?"
"Tie Feibao from the Desolate race. They are very powerful. Many of the upper echelons of the Primordial Divine Sect are from the Desolate race!"
"Desolate race? I got it. Thank you for the reminder!"
"That Tie Feibao is also from our Spiritual Plant Peak. Courtyard No. 3 is his. He is ranked in the top three among the Spiritual Plant Peak disciples."
Niu Wenzhan said very softly as he looked around warily.
"Thank you. I will be careful!"
Ou Shaotian nodded.
In Spiritual Plant Peak, the top hundred were basically all legacy disciples. For Tie Feibao to be able to live in Courtyard No. 3, his strength was naturally not weak.
Following that, Niu Wenzhan explained Tie Feibao's situation.
Indeed.
Tie Feibao's strength had reached the peak of the seventh rank. Among the hundred thousand legacy disciples of the Primordial Divine Sect, he was ranked in the upper middle.
He was ranked in the thirtieth rank.
It seemed like he was ranked very low, but in fact, that was not the case.
The competition in the Primordial Divine Sect was intense. Those who could enter the top ten thousand were all top experts of the eighth rank and above. Among those in the top ten thousand, there were quite a number of eighth rank experts.
Being ranked in the thirtieth rank was not bad. Behind him were about sixty to seventy thousand, and most of them were at the seventh rank.
"In short, you have to be careful. Just Tie Feibao is not scary. What is scary is the Desolate race behind him. They are a bunch of them!"
Finally, Niu Wenzhan whispered.
"Alright, I got it!"
Ou Shaotian nodded and did not speak further.
Following that, the two of them quickly finished harvesting the Blood Crystal Rice. Ou Shaotian took out a bag and stuffed about a kilogram of it into Niu Wenzhan's hands.
"This is for you. I still have a lot, so don't stand on ceremony!"
Ou Shaotian said firmly.
"There's no need. How can I accept this? You can't even buy it with money!"
Niu Wenzhan said embarrassedly.
"Take it!"
Ou Shaotian said with a smile.
After confirming that he was serious, Niu Wenzhan happily kept it.
After Niu Wenzhan left, Ou Shaotian went out. The Legacy disciple ranking tournament was coming soon, so he planned on going out to take a look.
Walking out of the yard and walking down the mountain, Ou Shaotian also signed up for the tournament on the Primordial Divine Sect's official website.
Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, a bird descended from the sky. Riding on the bird, he quickly arrived at the Primordial Square!
At this time, the Primordial Square could be said to be quite lively!
The arena that was originally used to resolve conflicts had been turned into the arena for the ranking tournament. The seats for the spectators were also set up.
Now, one could register online or in person.
Many people were discussing the ranking tournament.
There were many onlookers.
"Brothers, the Legacy disciple ranking tournament is about to begin again. I don't think there will be much change in the top ten, but not for those behind."
"In the past two years, the human race has been rising. Last time, there was Xuanyuan Zhantian who actually rushed to the thirty-second Legacy disciple ranking, which shocked many people."
"Yeah, if nothing goes wrong, the human race will definitely be targeted in this ranking tournament!"
"The main reason is that there are too many humans. I don't know what's going on. It's so difficult for other races to reproduce, but it's so easy for the human race!"
"Yeah, I heard that the human race has a few billion people. My race only has a few tens of millions of people, not even a hundred million!"
"With so many people, if they become stronger, it's too scary. No wonder they're being suppressed!"
