317: Chapter 317 *Drip*, a "good guy card"—the fat Taoist's heart was bleeding.

Several onlookers nearby heard this and also looked at Little Divine Silkworm, joining in the banter:

"Right, right, right! Little brother, keep it up! I have high hopes for you!"

Another laughed as well: "Exactly. Who knows, maybe in a few years you'll be on the rankings too. Then we can brag that we know a Prodigy on the list!"

The crowd laughed along, and the atmosphere became lively.

They didn't know who Little Divine Silkworm was, nor did they know if he was some powerful Prodigy; it was just that the mood was right to offer some words of blessing.

Meeting like this, as long as one wasn't naturally wicked, anyone would act this way.

Little Divine Silkworm was stunned for a moment, then he puffed out his chest and said seriously: "I will!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.

This was exactly what he came for. He wanted to let the world know that the Divine Silkworm Clan was not inferior to any other race!

The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing this, not taking it seriously and merely treating it as the bold words of a youth.

However, no one said anything negative and instead cheered him on with smiles.

"Good, good, good! You have ambition!"

"Not bad, not bad. This is how young people should be!"

"We have high hopes for you!"

Little Divine Silkworm knew they didn't believe him, but he didn't care. It was enough that he knew it himself.

He continued to look further down.

The saint king ranking.

First Place: Wuchen.

The introduction read: Mortal Body.

"A Mortal Body?" Little Divine Silkworm was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen a Mortal Body take the number one spot on a ranking.

"Yes, you saw correctly. The first place on the saint king ranking is indeed a Mortal Body." Wu Liang leaned over to look as well.

"This Wuchen is a legendary figure. Without any special Physique, he obtained a fragmented Cultivation Technique and rose all the way up, managing to break through the crowd of top-tier Physiques to claim the top spot of the saint king ranking."

Looking at that name, a sense of admiration welled up in Little Divine Silkworm's heart.

Because this powerhouse, Wuchen, didn't rely on luck. It wasn't as if he took first place because there were no top-tier Physiques in the Saint King Realm to compete with him.

On the contrary, the competition in the Saint King Realm was no less than any other Realm, because the second place on the saint king ranking was an Innate Dao Body, Fairy Biyou.

The Innate Dao Body was naturally close to the Dao and was absolutely a top-tier Physique; the Jade Lake Great Emperor had proven the Dao with an Innate Dao Body.

And Fairy Biyou's introduction stated that she had defeated a same-Realm phantom of the Jade Lake Great Emperor while in the Saint King Realm.

Although there was a gap between a phantom and the real person, and the combat power couldn't compare at all...

Being able to defeat the same-Realm phantom of the Jade Lake Great Emperor at least proved that Fairy Biyou was not weak.

Little Divine Silkworm asked curiously: "If Fairy Biyou is so strong, she still couldn't beat Wuchen?"

A Cultivator nearby chimed in: "Indeed! Fairy Biyou is not weak at all. I saw the battle where she defeated the Jade Lake Great Emperor's phantom with my own eyes. She utilized the advantages of the Innate Dao Body to the fullest."

Another Cultivator nodded: "But even so, she just couldn't beat Wuchen. Wuchen is too strong. For a Mortal Body to reach this step is simply incredible."

"There are always some people in the world with unparalleled talent who can rise even without a special Physique. Clearly, Wuchen is that kind of person."

"Yes, Wuchen is a role model for us Mortal Bodies. He tells us that even without a special Physique, one can still become a top-tier Prodigy!"

Little Divine Silkworm looked at that name with great emotion. How hard must it have been for a Mortal Body to reach the top of the saint king ranking?

He then looked toward the Quasi-Emperor Rankings.

First Place: Battle Saint Venerable.

Second Place: Sword Demon.

Third Place: Luo Hongchen.

Following them were Ancient God Child, Long Hao, Little Stone Emperor...

Each and every name was an old friend of Jiang Hao.

Little Divine Silkworm's eyes lit up: "These are all..."

"Old friends from the Heavenly Emperor's generation," the middle-aged Cultivator explained with a tone full of admiration.

"They were all figures who competed with the Heavenly Emperor back then. Although they haven't proven the Dao yet, every one of them has the potential to prove the Dao."

He pointed to the name of the Battle Saint Venerable: "After the Daluo Heaven opened, these people have come frequently to temper themselves, and every one of them has made great progress. I heard they've defeated many phantoms of Dao Provers. They are incredibly powerful."

An old Cultivator nearby also remarked emotionally: "None of these people are simple. If they hadn't been born in the same era as the Heavenly Emperor, they probably would have proven the Dao long ago."

"Right, right, right," another Cultivator added.

"I heard that Sword Demon fought a fierce battle with the phantom of an Ancient Emperor a few days ago. In the end, he exploded with power and shattered that Ancient Emperor's phantom with a single sword strike. That scene was far too shocking."

"Luo Hongchen is the same. His Path of the Mortal World is becoming deeper and deeper; he is invincible among his peers."

Everyone sighed with emotion, their voices filled with admiration.

Looking at those names, Little Divine Silkworm thought to himself: 'Are these the Heavenly Emperor's friends from the same generation? They really are powerful.'

Standing beneath the heavenly dao rankings and looking at those names, an unprecedented impulse surged in Little Divine Silkworm's heart.

The Four Extremities Rankings, dragon transformation ranking, sendai ranking, king ranking, Saint Rankings, saint king ranking, Great Saint Rankings...

On every list, there was a group of brilliant names.

Mu Feng, Lin Langtian, Jiang Fan, Qing Cang, Lin Xiao, Fairy Ruohua, Wuchen...

Countless Prodigies radiated light within this world.

Kings rising together, Prodigies like rain.

Little Divine Silkworm prepared to start challenging the rankings and records in a few days.

He wanted to compete with them.

He wanted to be on the rankings.

He wanted the name of the Divine Silkworm Clan to be carved onto this screen of light as well.

...

Wu Liang then took Little Divine Silkworm around to explore more of the city.

Myriad Worlds City was too large; after half a day, they had only explored a small area, but Little Divine Silkworm had already seen his fill.

With all sorts of novel things and lively scenes, his eyes weren't enough to take it all in.

As evening approached, the two prepared to part ways.

Wu Liang patted his shoulder and laughed: "Little Divine Silkworm, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask this Daoist Master. If there's anything you don't understand or need help with, you can come find me."

He had a good impression of this little fellow—simple, polite, and possessed a certain drive.

Such a person was worth befriending.

Little Divine Silkworm nodded, pulled out twenty thousand daluo coin from his robes, and handed them over.

"Daoist Master Wu, thank you for taking me around for so long today. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Wu Liang was stunned.

Twenty thousand?

He stared wide-eyed at the stack of daluo coin, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

Taking someone around for a day was normally a matter of just a few dozen daluo coin.

This kid gave twenty thousand the moment he made a move?

This was way too generous!

Countless thoughts flashed through Wu Liang's mind in an instant.

Should he take it?

If he took it, twenty thousand would be in his hands—pure bliss.

But on second thought, this kid was so generous; he was clearly an innocent youth.

If he took these twenty thousand now, how could he have the face to keep looking for him to explore Ancient Tombs in the future?

Casting a long line to catch a big fish was the Righteous Path!

Although Wu Liang's heart was bleeding, he forced a smile onto his face and waved his hand.

"Aiya, little friend, you're being too polite. Am I the kind of person who covets small gains? I took you around because we share a destiny. No need for this, no need for this."

Little Divine Silkworm insisted: "Daoist Master Wu, please take it. It was really a lot of trouble for you today."

Wu Liang declined a few more times, screaming frantically in his heart: 'Give it one more time! If you give it one more time, I'll take it!'

But he said, "No need, no need. Really, no need."

Seeing that Wu Liang resolutely refused, Little Divine Silkworm had no choice but to put the daluo coin away. He looked at Wu Liang and praised:

"Alright then. Thank you, Daoist Master Wu. You really are a good person."

Wu Liang's face instantly froze, filled with question marks.

What the hell? What's wrong with you, young man?

Why didn't you try to give it a few more times!

Don't you know I was just being modest!

Twenty thousand! My twenty thousand!

Watching Little Divine Silkworm take back the twenty thousand, Wu Liang's heart bled!

Meanwhile, Little Divine Silkworm felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Wu Liang.

This Senior Fat Daoist really was a good person who enjoyed helping others.

He was truly lucky to encounter such a person just after arriving in the Daluo Heaven.
