Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Chapter 48 – Off to Nan’an City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Jade Pure Dao Sect, after Perfected Yu Hua looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings’ explanation of the ‘Human Body’, the surprise in his eyes intensified.

“I never expect that this human body is really just a human body!”

They were just pondering what kind of powerful physique this ‘human body’ possessed.

No one expected it to be the most ordinary human physique.

That outcome was truly a surprise, and it shocked them even more.

If Li Yu really did have a powerful special physique, it was understandable that he could have such strength at his age.

However, he had the most ordinary physique.

It was unbelievable that he could have such strength.

“Li Yu is really not simple!” Perfected Taiwu spoke with a solemn expression.

As a martial arts body cultivator, he knew all too well how unreal it was to enter the Transcendence realm at the age of seventeen without a special physique.

“The fact that the Heavenly Dao gave him an additional reward twice must mean something. This child will definitely be the light of our orthodox path. His future is limitless!” Perfected Yu Hua exclaimed.

“This kid is simply a miracle!”

“Using an ordinary body to overcome those powerful physiques… If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that such a thing would happen!”

“I wonder who his master is!” Perfected Yu Hua was curious about how Li Yu could be nurtured into such a powerful existence.

His master must be extraordinary as well. Ye Qiu’s improvement was enough to prove this point.

Looks like I have to find a time to pay this expert a visit! Perfected Yu Hua thought to himself.

…

Inside the Qingyun Sect, Ye Qiu looked at Li Yu with admiration.

It turned out that Li Yu only had the most ordinary physique yet possessed such powerful strength.

How much effort and sweat did he have to undergo? How much inhumane cultivation did he have to cultivate an ordinary physique to the strongest of all?

“Senior Brother, you must have suffered a lot. Starting today, I’ll be like Senior Brother and work hard in cultivation. Master, Senior Brothers, I’m returning to my cultivation now!” Ye Qiu’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He immediately cupped his hands and walked to the side to begin cultivating.

Li Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he could only silently praise the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

At this moment, three golden lights flew over from the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

One fused into Li Yu’s mind, and the other was grabbed in his hand.

The last one transformed into the Chongming bird fledging with gorgeous feathers that flapped its wings and landed to the side.

The cultivation technique of the Great Dao Essence Heavenly Connection Art quickly fused into his memories, and the system’s mission progress was updated.

Cultivation techniques collection: 36 / 50

Pills and Pill Formulas collection: 40 / 50

“Dad, this Nirvana Holy Pill is for you. This pill should be useful for your injuries, right?” Li Yu handed the pill in his hand to Li Qingyun.

This pill was meaningless to him. At most, it could be a dessert after meals.

“Then I’ll gladly have it!” Li Qingyun did not stand on ceremony as he received the Nirvana Holy Pill from Li Yu, his eyes filled with joy.

He naturally knew how precious this pill was. With this pill, not only could his body undergo nirvana and be reborn, but it could also help him fully recover.

His cultivation should recover to around 80% of its previous level.

After handing the pill to his father, Li Yu looked at the divine bird fledging.

He could not help but recall the heavenly taste of the chicken mushroom stew from last time, and his mouth began drooling…

Noticing the look Li Yu gave, the baby bird quivered and immediately flapped its wings to fly to Li Qingyun’s side.

Tonight was destined to be different. The appearance of the 3000 Physique Rankings had shocked countless people and caused many to lose sleep.

Li Yu being at the top had inspired countless ordinary people to begin cultivating like mad and work toward their dreams.

Though, Li Yu himself was sleeping soundly.

Early in the morning after, the hunters at the foot of the mountain delivered fresh prey.

Ever since he became rich, Li Yu began to purchase food ingredients from the farmers and hunters at the foot of the mountain.

It was also a form of benefiting the people and driving the local economy.

Furthermore, there were still many craftsmen in the temple who needed to eat.

The craftsmen had specialized cooks catering to them, while Li Yu was accustomed to cooking his own meals.

For Li Yu, a day’s plans lay in the morning. Not eating meat in the morning was unbearable.

Therefore, he chose a big pheasant among the prey sent by the hunters. After processing it, he placed it above the charcoal fire and began the barbecue.

At the moment, Ye Qiu and Tang Chi were cultivating.

Li Qingyun entered seclusion again after consuming the Nirvana Holy Pill. He might be in for a few days, so Wu Chang was guarding him.

The pheasant oozed with fragrance under the burning charcoal. Li Yu could not help but swallow his saliva as his stomach growled.

Just as the roasted chicken was halfway done, a figure flew over from afar and landed in the Daoist temple.

It was an old man in Jade Pure Dao Sect’s Daoist robe. He looked about the same age as Elder Hu.

After he appeared, he first looked at Li Yu, then at the pheasant on the stick, and his expression changed drastically.

He rushed to the fire and grabbed the chicken that was about to be done. His eyes were red, and he was about to cry.

“It’s over, it’s over. We were a step too late. You’ve really wasted a heavenly treasure!”

The old man cried out in pain as if Li Yu had barbecued his treasure.

Li Yu looked at the old man in confusion, wondering why the Jade Pure Dao Sect was filled with a bunch of bizarre people.

However, he immediately understood why the old man had such a reaction.

“Wait, Senior, this isn’t a Chongming Bird. This is an ordinary wild chicken. The Chongming Bird is over there. See that? On the tree, on the tree!” Li Yu pointed at the scholar tree not far away.

At the moment, an extraordinary Chongming Bird with gorgeous feathers was resting on the tree.

Elder Kong’s face froze when he looked in the direction Li Yu was pointing at. He was immediately embarrassed.

“Cough, cough. Well, haha, it’s all a misunderstanding! Hahaha, I thought you had cooked the Chongming Bird! Hahaha…” Elder Kong laughed awkwardly.

That was rather embarrassing.

Li Yu did consider roasting and eating it. After all, this pheasant could not be compared to the meat of the Chongming Bird.

However, he knew that this divine bird was extraordinary and could become the sect’s guardian beast in the future.

Therefore, he suppressed his craving and let it off.

“Senior, are you here for the Chongming Bird?” Li Yu asked.

He knew that the Jade Pure Dao Sect had always been concerned about his Chongming Bird.

“Yes. Our Sect Master would like to purchase this Chongming Bird at any price you name. I wonder if Cultivator Li is willing to sell it!”

“Sorry, this Chongming Bird is not for sale!” Li Yu immediately refused.

“Cough, cough. Then, Cultivator Li must take good care of this Chongming Bird. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Jade Pure Dao Sect at any time. We promise our best effort to help!”

“Alright, thank you, Senior!” Li Yu cupped his hands and didn’t say anything more. He naturally knew what the Jade Pure Dao Sect was worried about.

He understood that the Jade Pure Dao Sect had no ill intentions. They only hoped that the Chongming Bird could grow into a true divine bird that could subdue demons and devils.

It was all for the sake of the commoners. As an orthodox sect, the Jade Pure Dao Sect was entirely responsible.

They were far better than the other sects in the Great Xia Dynasty in this aspect.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival began as scheduled. Li Yu and Ye Qiu rode a flying spirit beast to Nan’an City.
