Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 275 Ten Thousand Contributions, Tianxuan Ranks 1st!

Gu Jiancheng then activated the teleportation barrier, bringing the three of them back outside the secret realm.

"Alright, now Lei Wanqing and the others definitely won't be able to catch up with us."

"But Jian Cheng, don't you still have a compass you haven't used!?"

"Why don't we help you with it?!" Yang Jian asked at this moment.

"Hehe, no need, I have my own way!"

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and then raised his hand to summon the Silver Horned Ants.

Then, the ant colony was sent to carry the compass into the evil aura.

Now he must always remain exposed to the Dao Palace's compass array; otherwise, he will inevitably be suspected that entering the evil energy will allow him to escape the Dao Palace's sight, and then there will be no way to explain it.

"This is... an ant colony?"

In an instant, Yang Jian and the other two exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

They discovered that the ant colony numbered far more than tens of thousands, and the terrifying aura emanating from the entire colony was almost comparable to that of a half-step Saint King!

No wonder Gu Jiancheng dared to ask for ten thousand compasses and was so calm about it!

Gu Jiancheng has far too many trump cards up his sleeve.

"That's right, let's go back!"

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and led everyone straight to the stronghold.

During this process, Gu Jiancheng even led the three of them to explore the outer heavens and collect some hidden treasures before returning to the stronghold three days later.

At this point, the one-month deadline was approaching.

Many of the Tianxuan Palace disciples who were scattered elsewhere returned early.

Firstly, it was to prepare for leaving Tianwaitian; secondly, it was to compile the compass data and obtain the contribution value that was due.

The same applies to Lei Wanqing and his group, who returned to their stronghold the day before.

They were waiting for Gu Jiancheng to come back.

Gu Jiancheng made them suffer a great loss in the secret realm, and they were really frustrated that they couldn't get their revenge.

"Brother, I heard that Gu Jian has taken on the task of making ten thousand compasses. If he fails to complete them, he will be expelled from the Dao Palace!"

At this moment, Lei Tong suddenly spoke.

"Ten thousand compasses!?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Wanqing's expression changed drastically.

He understood that Gu Jiancheng was aiming for the title of the number one in Tianxuan Palace.

If someone manages to acquire 10,000 compasses within a month, their contribution points will surpass his.

"Heh, he's got some nerve. There's absolutely no way he could get ten thousand compasses in a month. I'd like to see how he gets expelled from the Dao Palace!"

Lei Wanqing grinned maliciously.

Setting up 10,000 compasses within a month is absolutely impossible, even for the top geniuses of the Heavenly Pivot Palace!

"They're back!"

At that moment, a sound suddenly rang out from inside the stronghold.

Everyone stood up and looked over, only to see Gu Jiancheng and his three companions descending in front of the stronghold and stepping inside.

Now the entire Tianxuan Palace stronghold knows about Gu Jiancheng.

First, he received 10,000 compasses, then he heard that he had tricked Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin in the secret realm, and even personally killed the Zhang brothers.

Gu Jiancheng had only just arrived in Tianwaitian, yet he had already become the focus of everyone's attention.

Today is the final day for compass statistics, and they are all eagerly awaiting the results.

Under the venomous gazes of Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin, Gu Jiancheng and his companions arrived before the main hall.

"Heh heh, kid, you guys actually came back!"

"I thought you would stay hidden in the Outer Heaven forever!"

The Holy King behind the counter got up, stretched, and then raised his hand, saying, "Hand over the unused compasses, and the Dao Palace will judge your crimes according to the quantity!"

"conviction!?"

But Li Nezha laughed and said, "On what grounds are you judging me!?"

"Why?! You took a number of compasses that didn't belong to your abilities, wasting the compasses. Naturally, you should be punished!"

"especially you!"

Finally, the Holy King's gaze suddenly focused on Gu Jiancheng, and he said coldly, "Don't you even know your own cultivation level? How dare you ask for ten thousand compasses!"

"Boy, let me tell you, your crime is the most serious. You can pray that the Dao Palace won't execute you!"

"Hahahaha!" But at this moment, Gu Jiancheng only let out a wild laugh, and then said arrogantly, "Senior is joking."

"Ten thousand compasses? What's so difficult about that?!"

"Gu Jiancheng, you're still being arrogant even now!?" Xu Lin, who was behind him, could no longer contain himself and roared, "Don't think that just because you know some restrictive techniques, you can do whatever you want."

"Your methods are only useful in secret realms; there's absolutely no way you could set up ten thousand compasses!"

"Gu Jiancheng, let's see how you get out of this!" Lei Wanqing said with a sinister grin, arms crossed.

"Hehe, whether it's finished or not will be clear at a glance!"

Gu Jiancheng chuckled, then tossed his clone token over with a flick of his wrist.

"Hmph, it seems you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

The Holy King inside the hall sneered, then took the identity token. A mark condensed in his hand, and immediately, array light began to gather above the entire stronghold, falling towards the token.

Once a plate belonging to this identity is identified within the central array, it will manifest on the identity plaque.

hum!

But the next moment, the jade tablet in the Holy King's hand suddenly trembled violently, and extremely dense holy light fell from the sky and merged into the tablet.

The astonishing energy was so great that even the Holy King couldn't hold onto it for a moment.

The jade tablet soared into the sky, and under everyone's watchful eyes, it frantically received the impact of the magic array's radiance.

Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This celestial phenomenon lasted for more than a dozen breaths before the great array in the sky finally stopped injecting holy light.

However, when the jade tablet returned to the Holy King's hands in the hall, the latter's expression changed drastically, and he collapsed behind the counter.

"This, how is this possible!?"

"How...how did you do that?!"

After a long while, the Holy King looked at Gu Jiancheng and asked incredulously.

"Heh, you have no right to know!"

Gu Jiancheng scoffed and took back his jade token.

Only then did he notice the word "one million" on the jade tablet.

Previously, Lei Wanqing, who ranked first on the Tianxuan List, only had 800,000 merit points.

In other words, he has now become the top disciple of Tianxuan Palace!

After leaving the Outer Heavens, you can smoothly advance to the Heavenly Pivot level and enter the Heavenly Pivot Palace for cultivation!

While Lei Wanqing and the others were still in shock, Yang Jian and Li Nezha also handed over their jade tokens.

In an instant, the jade tablets of the two also showed signs of holy light gathering, but it was much weaker than what Gu Jiancheng had just attracted.

By the time Lei Wanqing and the others came to their senses, Gu Jiancheng and his group of four had already stepped into the teleportation array and left Tianwaitian!

At this moment, they hurriedly rushed into the main hall.

"Elder, what just happened?"

"So Gu Jiancheng just left like that!?"

Lei Tong questioned.

Shouldn't the Dao Palace punish them?!

"Otherwise what?! What else do you want?" The Holy King sneered without even raising his head.

"Elder, do you mean that Gu Jiancheng completed the mission?" Yu Fei frowned and then asked.

"Hehe, why ask me?"

"Can't you take a look at the current Tianxuan Ranking yourselves?"

In an instant, the Holy King's words enlightened everyone.

They quickly took out their tokens and, sure enough, found that the Tianxuan Ranking had been updated!

But the next moment, everyone was struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning!

Lei Wanqing, in particular, swayed and almost fell over!

Because at this moment, he is no longer at the top of the Tianxuan Ranking!

Gu Jiancheng's name appeared at the top of everyone's list. The one million contribution points were so dazzling, like a million sharp swords piercing his chest!

He cultivated diligently for more than half a year in order to become the top of the Tianxuan Ranking.

But now, it's been taken away by Gu Jiancheng, who's only been here for a month!?

Moreover, Gu Jiancheng is now not only the top-ranked disciple of Tianxuan Palace, but he can also directly advance to the Tianshu level and enter Tianshu Palace by reaching a million merits!

This is his dream!

Xu Lin's face was also gloomy at this moment, because Gu Jiancheng not only became the first, but Yang Jian also squeezed him to the fourth place with 500,000 merit points.

This is utterly disgraceful!

"Gu Jiancheng!"

"We'll see!"

Xu Lin's face was extremely gloomy. Once he returned to the Dao Palace, he would have plenty of ways to kill Gu Jiancheng!

Meanwhile, Gu Jiancheng had already returned to the Tianxuan Hall of the Supreme Saint Dao Palace.

Afterwards, Gu Jiancheng used the excuse of needing to heal his injuries to separate from Yang Jian and the other two.

Upon entering his cave, Gu Jiancheng immediately activated all the restrictions to conceal his presence before taking out the three orbs of light from his system package.

To be on the safe side, he even suppressed his curiosity and never took the treasure out of the outer heaven.

I'm just afraid of revealing something.

Now, he can finally take a good look!
