Chapter 1 My Clones Are All Over the Myriad Realms!

Three months later, Lin Ming's name appeared in the eyes of all the great powers in the entire Divine Territory.

In the jade scroll ranking of the Great Worlds, the first person in the True Martial Great World had been replaced. Lin Ming's name appeared in the eyes of all living beings in the Divine Dream Realm.

Being the top of a Great World, even in the Divine Territory, was definitely the most dazzling genius, and in their respective realms, they were definitely the top ones, unmatched by few in the world.

Even on the God Conferring List, Lin Ming's name broke into the top one thousand, ranking eight hundred and ninety!

This represented that Lin Ming had the potential to become a Realm King. Such a proud and monstrous talent, even in a Heavenly Venerate-level force, could be regarded as the top genius. However, the fact that such a top genius belonged to the Ancient Phoenix Clan, a very ordinary force, surprised countless holy lands.

In addition, Jiang Xuan also saw Jiang Boyun's name, also ranked in the top few. He knew something about Jiang Boyun's strength now, and this ranking must not be his full strength, but Jiang Xuan didn't care what he did.

"The second round, I remember it's on Muyue Star..."

Jiang Xuan thought about it. Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate had explained to him before that the semi-finals were not held in the Divine Dream Realm, but in Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate's private territory, Muyue Star.

This second round of competition was not like the first round, which required endless fighting. In this round, their only goal was to eliminate opponents and climb a Purple-Gold Divine Platform as much as possible.

That was a Heavenly Venerate spiritual treasure called the God Conferring Platform, and even the disciples of the Heavenly Venerate Holy Land could not reach the top.

The God Conferring Platform was actually built by the first Heavenly Venerate of the human race in ancient times, the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate. In the past, the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate was known as the most likely creature to become a True God, and his strength had already reached its peak at the Heavenly Venerate level.

It was a pity that he died later, but the God Conferring Platform he left behind contained his inheritance. Anyone who could obtain it would definitely be able to make a name for themselves in the vast Divine Territory.

The God Conferring Platform on Muyue Star was not a genuine product, but a replica made by Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate. But even so, the difficulty was extremely high.

Precisely because of this, this round would be a protracted war, and only the most top-notch geniuses could stay until the end and obtain a ticket to the final.

Ten days later, 300,000 participants arrived in front of the God Conferring Platform. They were all the strongest selected from their respective Great Worlds, and each one was extremely monstrous. In this First Martial Arts Assembly, they had already made a name for themselves.

Even if they were eliminated in this round, many Holy Master-level forces, and even Realm King-level forces, were willing to extend olive branches to them, because their talent was strong enough, and being in the top 100 of the Great World rankings was worth those great forces to win them over.

"Hehe, I wonder if anyone can reach the top of this God Conferring Platform in this Divine Territory Martial Arts Assembly." Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate, on Jiang Xuan's side, looked at the 300,000 geniuses gathered in front of the God Conferring Platform through a treasure.

"Although my God Conferring Platform is a replica, it also has some of the true meaning of the former God Conferring Heavenly Venerate. It's not easy to reach the top!" Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate seemed to be boasting. He was very confident in the God Conferring Platform he built. With the true meaning of the former God Conferring Heavenly Venerate, even his disciples had not been able to reach the top.

Although there were countless geniuses in the Divine Territory, the Heavenly Venerate's direct disciples were undoubtedly the most top-notch. Since even the Heavenly Venerate's true disciples could not reach the top, the possibility of others reaching the top was naturally even smaller.

The Divine Dream Heavenly Venerate on the other side did not refute, and Jiang Xuan just smiled. Although he knew that the curse of the God Conferring Platform being unable to be reached would be broken this time, there was no need to say it.

Furthermore, compared to the God Conferring Platform refined by Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate, Jiang Xuan was more interested in the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate.

The God Conferring Heavenly Venerate was the leader of the Divine Territory 3.6 billion years ago. Although he had always been called a Heavenly Venerate by later generations, in reality, he had already surpassed the Heavenly Venerate level and was the True God of the Shenluo Celestial Race 3.6 billion years ago!

In the past, he was the leader of the Divine Territory and led the ancient Divine Territory experts to fight against the great calamity, and the God Conferring Platform was his artifact. In the past, he stood on the God Conferring Platform to deploy troops.

However, later, the ancient God Conferring Platform disappeared after the great calamity. By chance, Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate obtained a wisp of the artifact spirit of the ancient God Conferring Platform, thus refining a replica of the God Conferring Platform.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate had created the *God Conferring Great Law*, which explained the most about the two Great Daos of time and space. He himself had comprehended the Shenluo Heavenly Law system, and his law also had reference significance for Jiang Xuan's breakthrough to the True God.

Of course, it was just a reference. Jiang Xuan had his own Dao, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the True God. As long as he comprehended it, the shackles would naturally be broken.

……

The God Conferring Platform was 330,000 zhang high. Each level was equivalent to a 10,000 zhang cliff. Coupled with the Heavenly Venerate's pressure that always enveloped it, it was not an easy task for any genius.

Moreover, they could only climb with their bare hands, and could not use treasures. They had to climb up little by little, while also guarding against other participants. It could be said that every step was walking between life and death.

At this moment, on the towering God Conferring Platform, a waterfall formed by the天地元气 (tiandi yuanqi, heaven and earth spiritual energy) cascaded down, like the Milky Way falling from the Nine Heavens, washing the world.

After the start of the second round, 300,000 proud geniuses rushed into the waterfall, shuttling through it. They grabbed the rough stone steps of the God Conferring Platform with both hands, and leaped forward with force again and again.

On this God Conferring Platform, under the pressure, it was impossible for them to fly with their Divine Sea realm strength. They could only climb with their bare hands, but their speed was extremely fast, straight up without stopping. Being able to perform like this under the Heavenly Venerate's pressure was indeed worthy of the name of genius.

Jiang Boyun and Lin Ming were also among them. The two of them had fought their way up from the Lower Realm, constantly climbing to the peak of martial arts with their humble bodies. Today, they were no less inferior to the geniuses in the Divine Territory, and could already stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

"Junior Brother, let's have a competition to see who goes further?" Jiang Boyun said with great interest. In the Lower Realm, only Lin Ming could always closely follow his steps, and even surpass him several times. It could be said that the two of them had been competing all the way up.

After all, resources were scarce in the Lower Realm, and geniuses were rare. It was a happy thing to have someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them and make progress together. Moreover, it was precisely because the two of them often confirmed themselves with each other that they could grow so quickly.

"Okay!" Lin Ming nodded in response. He had competed with Jiang Boyun many times, and they had always had their own victories and defeats.

Precisely because of this, he admired Jiang Boyun very much. After all, although Jiang Boyun had opportunities, he did not have the assistance of the Magic Cube, nor did he have the memories of countless powerhouses in the Upper Realm to comprehend.

But even so, Jiang Boyun could still closely follow and had not been distanced by him. How could he not admire such talent and strength?

"Hahaha! Then let's begin!"

Jiang Boyun laughed loudly, like a divine sword unsheathed, revealing its sharp edge. His climbing speed was even faster, and so was Lin Ming. However, both of them had a sense of proportion. After all, they were competing to see who could go further, not who could climb faster. Therefore, when they encountered the power of rules worth comprehending, they would deliberately slow down and carefully comprehend.

Unlike the native geniuses of the Divine Territory, Jiang Boyun and Lin Ming, who had not entered the Divine Territory for a long time, were like two sponges, now frantically absorbing the knowledge of the Divine Territory.

The two of them climbed sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but they didn't care at all, wholeheartedly comprehending the power of the law in the God Conferring Platform that was beneficial to them.

Slowly, the geniuses climbing the God Conferring Platform were also divided into three groups. The first group was far ahead, the second group had reached the twenty-second level of the God Conferring Platform, and Lin Ming and Jiang Boyun were not in a hurry, staying in the third group, comprehending the law unhurriedly.

However, the two of them had never been trapped. Even though they were in the third group, they slowly caught up and soon reached a higher level. In addition, the two of them were already strong, and even if someone regarded them as soft persimmons, they would only be asking for trouble in the end.

While solving the "hunters" who were eyeing them, the two of them went all the way up, constantly fighting with other participants. They easily won until the thirtieth level, but even with the two of them, there were only sixteen people on this level!

Out of 300,000 people, only sixteen people reached the thirtieth level. One could imagine how difficult the God Conferring Platform was. And on the thirty-first level, including them, there were only five people.

At this point, each of the five of them could be said to be the most top-notch genius in the three thousand Great Worlds of the Divine Territory. Many holy lands were tempted and couldn't wait to extend olive branches immediately.

On the thirty-first level, the five of them fought in pairs, and only three of them eventually reached the thirty-second level. Then, they fought in pairs again, and only one person could win and have the opportunity to reach the thirty-third level.

Jiang Boyun and Lin Ming finally fought each other, but unfortunately, Jiang Boyun was slightly weaker. Jiang Xuan was not surprised by this result.

Lin Ming had many opportunities, and Jiang Boyun's biggest opportunity so far was him. Later, although he also obtained the inheritance of a Sword Dao Realm King, he was still a lot weaker than Lin Ming, who had many trump cards.

"After the Martial Arts Assembly, it's time to formally accept him as a disciple." Jiang Xuan thought to himself. He had indeed not taught Jiang Boyun properly. The cultivation techniques he gave him were good in the Lower Realm, but in the Divine Territory, compared to those top geniuses, the cultivation techniques he practiced were a lot worse.

"That is!"

Just then, Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate suddenly said. Jiang Xuan came back to his senses and looked at the screen. He saw a tall white-clothed figure standing on the top of the God Conferring Platform. He had his hands behind his back and faced away from countless living beings, as if he was standing in the eternal river of time, looking out into the future and the ancient times, blending into the vast天地 (tiandi, heaven and earth).

"Another one with his back to all living beings?"

Jiang Xuan joked, but in reality, he was quite shocked. Although it was just a phantom, the moment "he" appeared, he was like the master of the天地 (tiandi, heaven and earth), reigning over the world. The tens of billions of people present all had the urge to worship him. Xiao Daozi, who was floating in the sky, was even captured by this force and could not maintain his flying state!

"Could it be... the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate?"

Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate realized belatedly. This was an obvious thing. Although his God Conferring Platform was a replica, it contained a wisp of the artifact spirit of the ancient God Conferring Platform, which might be mixed with the remnant will of the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate.

"That's... he reached the top, he actually reached the top!"

"A miracle!"

However, just as the phantom of the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate disappeared, after a brief silence, tens of billions of viewers cheered. Being able to reach the top of the God Conferring Platform at such an age could be said to be a peerless genius unprecedented in millions of years in the entire Divine Territory!

In the Divine Dream Heavenly Palace, Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate looked at Lin Ming standing on the thirty-third level of the God Conferring Platform, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. After a full tens of breaths of silence, he slowly said, "Divine Dream, the final phantom, was it the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate?"

The Divine Dream Heavenly Venerate nodded and said softly, "Although I have never seen him in person, I can roughly recognize his aura. I should not be mistaken."

"It really is surprising. The God Conferring Heavenly Venerate actually had a remnant will left in it." After hearing this, Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate couldn't help but smile. This was still the replica of the God Conferring Platform he refined, and it contained the remnant will of the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate, but even he didn't know it.

"When you refined the God Conferring Platform, you used a wisp of the artifact spirit of the ancient God Conferring Platform, which contains some of the remnant will of the God Conferring Heavenly Venerate. It's normal." Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate shook his head and said, "I know this is normal, but I have also refined this God Conferring Platform for tens of millions of years, and there has never been such a situation. I also have many geniuses under my command, but none of them have been able to trigger such a phenomenon."

Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate was very emotional. They could all see that the remnant will on the God Conferring Platform had given Lin Ming a great benefit. Lin Ming's future would be limitless. If such a genius was in his own sect, Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate would definitely be very happy.

"Perhaps it's good luck?" Jiang Xuan joked, which earned him a glare from Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate. This guy really was, saying it was luck when he broke through to Heavenly Venerate, and now he's still saying it's luck!

……

After this round of the God Conferring Platform ends, there will be a gap of time. The final will be held a year later.

The first round of the final will be jointly responsible by Xun Kun and Ling Yu of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace. The treasure used for the test will be the "Heavenly Cloud Realm" refined by Jiang Xuan.

The final venue has also been arranged. The final venue is in Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate's Hao Yu Realm, which is an independent world opened up by Hao Yu Heavenly Venerate with great magic power. Although it is not as large as the Divine Territory Great World, it is vast enough.

And this is also the final venue of the Divine Territory Martial Arts Assembly. Lin Ming and the other geniuses are all gathered here, and those Heavenly Venerate's direct disciples will also participate in the final. However, their identities are special, and they don't even need to participate in the preliminary and semi-finals, but no one questions their strength. The Heavenly Venerate's disciples, are they not also the most top-notch geniuses.

These Heavenly Venerate's disciples are all extraordinary, high above the ground, and disdain these geniuses from the Great World World Lords, Holy Lands and even the Holy Lands under them.

They also have this capital. Heavenly Venerate's disciples, not to mention others, supreme divine arts and peerless divine weapons, which one does not take countless time for other cultivators to obtain. When it comes to foundation, who can compare with them.

This is also the capital of their pride. In the beginning, many of them are a big cut above others. Their talents are even more extraordinary. Even in the same realm, their strength is not comparable to others.
