My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 81: The First in the Mortal Realm Rankings in a Thousand Years!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The First in the Mortal Realm Rankings in a Thousand Years!

Moreover, it was not just a matter of speed; it seemed to contain something within, something that Li Hengsheng at this stage could not understand.

"Look, look, the leaderboard has moved!"

At that moment, someone suddenly noticed that the leaderboard had moved.

"Why are you shouting? So what if it moved? There’s nothing to make a fuss about." Someone who was disturbed clearly looked displeased.

"But... but it’s the Mortal Realm list that moved." That person’s pupils widened as they pointed at the stele, incredulous.

Normally, there’s nothing surprising when the leaderboard changes since it practically changes every day, but it’s different if it’s the Mortal Realm list that moved.

Because this list hadn’t changed in hundreds of years.

Postnatal Martial Artists find it extremely difficult to pass the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion, let alone those in the Transcendent Realm. Being able to pass the first layer with Transcendent Realm cultivation only exists in legends.

Some disciples even doubted the authenticity of the Mortal Realm list.

How could someone in the Transcendent Realm defeat the Iron-faced Man?

Because it just seemed too absurd.

Now, the movement of that list was like a bomb going off at Yingxin Lake.

Countless people were drawn in.

Which Transcendent Realm warrior is so strong to actually defeat the Iron-faced Man?

"Li Hengsheng? First on the Mortal Realm list?"

Seeing this name, many people were stunned.

This name was not unfamiliar to them.

Because recently, Xu Muhai from Thirty-Six Peaks took in a supposedly useless disciple from Wanzai Peak, and the event had spread throughout the sect. Moreover, Li Hengsheng comprehending the great work of the Painting Saint not long ago had further raised his fame.

And now...

Li Hengsheng actually successfully challenged the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion.

How could this news not blow up?

Even more terrifying, Li Hengsheng was listed as first, surpassing Gu Lai’s record of thirteen breaths against the Iron-faced Man?

On the stele of the Mortal Realm list, Gu Lai, who was in the first position, had moved to second.

The first position now read: Li Hengsheng, Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer.

Challenge time: Nine Breaths.

The disciples around Yingxin Lake held their breath, and the place became extraordinarily quiet.

It was as if their brains had crashed.

Previously, everyone mocked Li Hengsheng as the most useless direct disciple from the Mountain Ancient Land in a thousand years.

Now, looking again...

Do we look like a joke now?

Moreover, what shocked everyone even more was that, unlike others on the list, Li Hengsheng was only in the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer!

Who among those present hadn’t felt the terror of the Iron-faced Man?

They had almost all become their Heart Demons.

Having their heads cut off repeatedly by the Iron-faced Man’s curved blade haunted even their dreams.

Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer?

If someone at this level encountered the Iron-faced Man, they would most likely be obliterated without a trace.

Even Li Hengsheng himself hadn’t expected the ranking to update so quickly; his name went up right after defeating the Iron-faced Man.

Nine Breaths?

Li Hengsheng hadn’t paid attention to the timing; making five consecutive moves indeed didn’t take much time.

Witnessing the surrounding crowd’s shock, Li Hengsheng stood up, intending to leave quietly. Fortunately, although he was quite famous, not many had actually seen him.

Li Hengsheng planned to slip away to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Senior Brother Li, are you leaving?" Just then, Yan Yuyun’s voice suddenly appeared.

Yan Yuyun had come out from the trial.

Li Hengsheng shivered involuntarily.

And that one call, Senior Brother Li, drew everyone’s eyes towards Li Hengsheng.

In an instant, many people’s eyes lit up.

Named Li.

Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer.

It all matched!

"He’s Li Hengsheng," a disciple exclaimed, "I saw him at Futu Peak."

In an instant, Li Hengsheng became the center of attention.

Every gaze seemed to want to see through Li Hengsheng!

There was jealousy, envy, curiosity, admiration, and even lust in those eyes...

Li Hengsheng felt that staying here could very well get him devoured by them, so at that moment, he darted out like a released arrow.

He hurried to leave this place of trouble.

Seeing Li Hengsheng running away, Yan Yuyun was taken aback.

What’s going on?

Am I that scary?

Why did he run away just hearing my voice?

But then, Yan Yuyun noticed something was off with the people around her, all staring at Li Hengsheng.

When Yan Yuyun casually glanced at the Mortal Realm list, she froze on the spot as if she had seen a ghost!

Li Hengsheng quickly returned to Cyan Rain Mountain, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The saying "humans fear fame just as pigs fear gaining weight" really is true.

But this fame, Li Hengsheng couldn’t avoid even if he wanted to.

In less than half an hour, Li Hengsheng’s name had once again spread across the entire Mountain Ancient Land.

First on the Mortal Realm List of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion!

This news spread throughout the Thirty-Six Peaks.

The first reaction of all the disciples who heard the news was that it was utterly ridiculous, followed by shock.

"Master, is this junior truly extraordinary?"

On Muhai Peak, Yang Tiantian also wore a look of shock as she spoke to Xu Muhai.

When Xu Muhai heard the news, he also thought there might be a mistake, but then he felt relieved, as if there was nothing to be surprised about.

"Sweet." Xu Muhai said to Yang Tiantian, "There’s nothing to be surprised about because Hengsheng is that man’s son."

When Yang Tiantian heard this, curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She knew that the man Xu Muhai referred to was Li Changqing.

Since Yang Tiantian returned, Xu Muhai had told her about Li Changqing’s matters.

"The only one who can help you is Li Changqing, so you must maintain a good relationship with your junior. When the time comes, I will ask Brother Changqing to help you."

Yang Tiantian remembered Xu Muhai telling her this.

That was why, when she knew Li Hengsheng stole and ate her Spirit Chicken, she wasn’t angry and even extended goodwill.

Xu Muhai hoped Yang Tiantian could foster a good relationship with Li Hengsheng, ensuring that when the time was right, Li Changqing could be called upon to help solve the problems that had troubled her for years.

Issues that even he, as her mentor, was powerless against.

"Damn, that’s awesome!"

Upon hearing the news, Lord Zhou came to Cyan Rain Mountain and knocked on the door.

Outside the door, he shouted loudly. Although Yang Tiantian beat him up in the morning, leaving him with bruises, these were merely superficial injuries, and he was much better by the afternoon. Knowing that Li Hengsheng had become famous again, Lord Zhou showed up to congratulate him despite his swollen face.

When Lord Zhou heard Li Hengsheng became first on the Mortal Realm List, he couldn’t believe his ears, thinking perhaps his mind was still damaged from the beating.

Li Hengsheng had actually defeated the Iron-faced Man.

And he only has reached the Seventh Layer of the Transcendent Realm!

What kind of prodigy is this junior of mine?

"Senior brother, why are you here instead of recovering at home?" Li Hengsheng, knowing Lord Zhou arrived, quickly came out to greet him.

"Awesome!"

"Fourth Brother, you’re awesome!"

"Senior Brother, isn’t your speech slurring a bit?"

"That’s not important."

Lord Zhou looked at Li Hengsheng with shining eyes, as if meeting him for the first time.

The Li Hengsheng before him seemed ordinary, with cultivation progress that was exceptionally slow, yet he managed to challenge the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion.

Lord Zhou couldn’t wrap his head around how Li Hengsheng achieved this.

Li Hengsheng merely smiled without a word, then invited Lord Zhou to have tea in the pavilion.

But not long after sipping tea, Xu Kui came to Li Hengsheng: "Young Master, Lin Tong from Miaoyuan Peak has come to visit."

"Senior Sister Lin Tong?"

Li Hengsheng wondered why Lin Tong came.

"Senior brother, please wait a while." Li Hengsheng asked Lord Zhou to wait and went to see what Lin Tong wanted.

It turned out Lin Tong came for no particular reason, only to bring gifts and congratulate him on topping the Mortal Realm List.

And soon afterward, she left.

Li Hengsheng returned and told Lord Zhou about this, to which Lord Zhou laughed and said, "Just wait, it’s not over yet. More people will come soon enough."

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before—

"Young Master, the direct disciple Zheng Xuan from Yuhe Peak is here to visit."

Li Hengsheng frowned, not recognizing the name.

"I’ll be right there." Li Hengsheng decided to meet him.

The entire afternoon, the direct disciples from various Peaks who came to visit numbered over a dozen.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Li Hengsheng, they left gifts and departed.

"Fourth Brother, you’ve become quite popular. The direct disciples from the Peaks are all trying to curry favor with you." Lord Zhou laughed while pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Just because I topped the Mortal Realm List?" Li Hengsheng felt he was drawing too much attention.

"Naturally." Lord Zhou chuckled, "Most of the direct disciples visiting today likely have no hope of breaking through to the Innate Realm."

Speaking earnestly, Lord Zhou said, "But you’re different. Your potential has been proven by becoming first on the Mortal Realm List. Befriending you is an investment with no drawbacks for them."

Li Hengsheng pondered this as he nodded.

When one becomes famous, many things become more complicated.

"Junior Brother, you are not what you used to be. You’ll encounter more people and things with time; take your time learning." Lord Zhou said with a smile.

Li Hengsheng, not concerned with many things, asked Lord Zhou a question out of curiosity: "That scholar is very strong. How can I defeat him?"

"The scholar?" Lord Zhou raised his eyebrows, setting his teacup down with a smile, "Looks like you’ve crossed paths with him."

"Yes, I couldn’t withstand even one move before losing." Li Hengsheng said frankly, still feeling a chill at the thought.

"The scholar’s movements are too swift; I couldn’t dodge in time. Should I not cultivate a faster body technique?" Li Hengsheng shared his thoughts.

To his surprise, Lord Zhou shook his head, "The scholar’s speed is not in his steps but in his sword."

"The scholar’s sword transcends the ordinary definition; his sword melds with his heart, truly achieving Sword Following Heart, surpassing instinct and hence very fast."

With seriousness, Lord Zhou told Li Hengsheng, "It’s a profound state; without comprehension, defeating the scholar is very difficult. Many postnatal peak disciples in the sect haven’t beaten the scholar, unable to dodge his sword."

Li Hengsheng was stunned, learning even postnatal peaks couldn’t best the scholar’s sword?

Sword Following Heart?

What kind of realm is that?

"By the way, you’ve cleared the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion. The sect should soon send someone with your reward." Lord Zhou recalled.

"What is the reward?" Li Hengsheng asked curiously.

"No idea, your reward will likely differ from others." Lord Zhou shook his head, "First on the Mortal Realm List, surely your reward will be tempting."

Currently, Li Hengsheng wasn’t too concerned with supposedly tempting rewards; he was far more intrigued by the Sword Following Heart state Lord Zhou mentioned.

What is it like?
