At this moment, a figure stepped out from the crowd.
"Huh? No way? Someone else wants to challenge Yang Feilong?"
"Don't recognize this person!"
"I do, this person seems to be from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"What is a Heavenly Mechanism Sect cultivator doing here?"
"......"
This person looked at Yang Feilong with a smile and said, "This humble one, Tian Ji Zi, greets Fellow Daoist Yang!"
"Does Fellow Daoist have any advice?" Yang Feilong asked Tian Ji Zi softly. He harbored no ill will towards the mysterious Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
"According to the Heavenly Mechanism Wheel of our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Fellow Daoist Yang's cultivation is in the Void Refinement realm. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist if this is true?" Tian Ji Zi asked, looking at Yang Feilong.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices.
"How is this possible? The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is wrong this time, aren't they? Yang Feilong is so powerful, how can he be in the Void Refinement realm!"
"This is simply a ludicrous joke!"
"A Void Refinement realm cultivator defeating Zhuo Buqun, who is at the late stage peak of the Integration realm? Can I laugh for a bit?"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Wheel of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is said to be able to capture a lot of information, it should be correct! Why is it so absurd this time?"
Even those in the Integration realm found it preposterous. Yang Feilong, even if not at the late stage of the Integration realm, was undoubtedly at the Integration realm.
However, they also couldn't understand why the Heavenly Mechanism Wheel, which had always been accurate, would have such a significant error!
Only Fang Qingxue and Lin Qiaoxi vaguely recalled something. When Yang Feilong emerged from seclusion in the cave half a month ago, they had asked him about his realm, and he had said he had just broken through to the Void Refinement realm. Could it be that Yang Feilong had truly just broken through to the Void Refinement realm?
At this moment, Yang Feilong slowly spoke, "Yes, the Heavenly Mechanism Wheel is not wrong. I am indeed in the Void Refinement realm."
Upon hearing this, countless people gasped in disbelief.
"He's really in the Void Refinement realm?"
"My heavens, can a Void Refinement realm cultivator ascend against immortals?"
"Don't forget, back when Yang Feilong suppressed Nascent Soul realm cultivators, he was only in the Golden Core realm! That information was also provided by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!"
"No, he could do that back then, but now, in the Void Refinement realm, he can ascend against Integration realm cultivators? And not just ordinary Integration realm cultivators?"
"Good heavens, good heavens, if he is this powerful in the Void Refinement realm, with a combat strength not inferior to a peak Integration realm cultivator, how terrifying will he be when he reaches the peak Integration realm?"
"Can the heavens allow such an existence to undergo tribulation?"
"Whether they allow it or not, I don't know. But before he undergoes tribulation, he is the top-ranked existence in both the mortal world and the spiritual world!"
"There is no doubt about that!"
Even the powerful figures in the Integration realm were shaken and overwhelmed.
"Void Refinement realm?"
"Such a terrifying Void Refinement realm?"
"This, such a formidable being, it is best that we do not offend him!"
"Befriend him, fully befriend him."
If they were to truly incur his displeasure, they might face the disaster of their sect being wiped out!
Because his cultivation was not at the peak Integration realm, no, not even at the Integration realm, he had nothing to fear. Even if they fought with all their might, they might not be his match!
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yang, for clarifying this!" Tian Ji Zi looked at Yang Feilong, a smile on his face, and said softly.
"You are too kind, Fellow Daoist Tian Ji Zi," Yang Feilong replied with a smile.
The simple reason he had enlightened the other party was to make some petty individuals abandon their sordid thoughts. Moreover, after defeating Zhuo Buqun, Yang Feilong realized he no longer needed to hide anything. He could now contend with those at the peak Integration realm, and with him having no reservations while they did, his combat effectiveness might not even surpass Zhuo Buqun's.
If they were not afraid of death, they were welcome to challenge him.
...
The crowd on the street dispersed.
However, the discussions about today did not cease. Yang Feilong's power and his formidable combat prowess in the Void Refinement realm spread at an extremely rapid pace throughout the spiritual world.
And when the new issue of the rankings was announced, countless people were in an uproar.
Because on both the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings, Yang Feilong held the first position. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect's assessment stated that while Yang Feilong's cultivation was in the Void Refinement realm, his combat power was evaluated as the strongest in the spiritual world, hence his placement on both major lists.
The Heavenly and Earthly Rankings had never had a single person occupy both spots, but Yang Feilong had broken history.
Moreover, he was also ranked first on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings.
Well, he was not yet forty years old, so of course, he wouldn't be disqualified!
To occupy even one of the six rankings was remarkable. While it wasn't unheard of to occupy two, it was rare. Yet, Yang Feilong now occupied three rankings, and held the first position on both the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings!
This clearly indicated the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's high regard for Yang Feilong's strength.
"Yang Feilong, how can this person born in the mortal world be so powerful?"
"Who knows! I used to think the mortal world was just a barbaric land, only advanced in technology. But now, it has completely shattered my perception of the mortal world!"
"......"
Countless people marveled.
The Li family also learned this news.
The Li family naturally knew Yang Feilong was very strong, calling him the number one expert in the Void Refinement realm was not an exaggeration. Even their ancestor, a half-step Integration realm cultivator, believed he was no match for Yang Feilong.
"It's only been a few months? And he has become so powerful that he can overpower numerous Integration realm cultivators?"
"Before this, could it be that he hadn't really broken through to the Void Refinement realm?"
While shocked, the Li family members were also filled with joy and surprise.
Regardless, they had resolved Yang Feilong's grievances, and were now considered relatives. Moreover, Li Xiuzhu and Yang Ping Tian were already married and living in the Li family. The stronger Yang Feilong became, the greater the benefit to their Li family.
Their previous dissatisfaction with Li Xiuzhu's elopement had now turned into relief!
They even hoped that Yang Ping Tian and Li Xiuzhu would have more children, perhaps they could be as outstanding as Yang Feilong.
Regarding this matter, the couple had specifically consulted Yang Feilong. He, of course, had no objections. Having a few more younger siblings was not something he had strong reactions or thoughts about.
Although Yang Feilong didn't mind, the couple, after discussion, decided against it.
Because Yang Feilong was already outstanding enough. Firstly, their current cultivation made having children difficult. More importantly, if their offspring were not as outstanding, that descendant might feel very inferior. They might even need Qin Tian's help. Thinking that they had never raised Qin Tian for a single day, and that Yang Feilong had grown up without their companionship, yet they were considering having more children who would need Yang Feilong to look after them, they felt guilty towards Yang Feilong. Therefore, they abandoned the idea of having more children.
Yang Feilong, of course, was unaware of this.
