Chapter 54: Is there a ranking list? Our sect will win!

【Righteous Path Cultivator Yang Zhengxin, under your myriad torments, died in humiliation, his Dao Heart shattered.】

【Reward: 200 Demonic Path points】

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow.

Goodness, it seems making them completely lose it comes with extra rewards.

Then he would have to work even harder.

At this moment, Yang Zhengxin had just finished spewing obscenities, his mouth still twitching violently.

He exited the Illusion Realm and glared at Lu Ze: “That wild cat...”

“Not a wild cat, it’s an Immortal Beast.” Lu Ze corrected, “It’s quite reasonable for an Immortal Beast to protect its master’s Secret Realm, isn’t it?”

Yang Zhengxin no longer cared about Face and immediately cursed him:

“Reasonable your ass! You shameless rogue, how dare you use such crooked and Evil Path methods to toy with this old man!?”

Lu Ze feigned confusion: “Junior does not know, what mistake have I made?”

“This Illusion Realm suppresses Realm and seals Spiritual Qi, clearly designed to prevent people from passing!”

“But...”

Lu Ze shook his head unhurriedly and calmly spoke.

“Since it’s an Immortal Rank trap, it must be the work of an unknown mighty figure. It’s not impossible for a Secret Realm to have strange restrictions like sealed Spiritual Qi and suppressed Realm within it.”

“Moreover, traps, to put it plainly, are all about calculation. If you see through it, you pass; if you don’t, you don’t.”

“Although the mechanisms Junior set up look simple, the design behind them is not.”

“If a mighty figure were to ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) design traps following Junior’s Ideas (thought process), even with Elder Yang’s cultivation, would you be 100% confident in passing?”

These words made the surrounding Elders nod in agreement.

A trap is a calculation.

Whoever is seen through is the loser.

Clearly, Lu Ze’s trap design saw through all of Yang Zhengxin’s thought processes.

The battle-hardened Yang Zhengxin might have eight hundred tricks up his sleeve.

But Lu Ze had eight thousand.

As for rule setting?

Although they had never heard of such strict Secret Realms, as long as the Secret Realm’s master was strong enough, it wasn’t unimaginable.

Taking a step back.

Even if Yang Zhengxin’s cultivation wasn’t suppressed, if a mighty figure designed mechanisms and traps according to Lu Ze’s thought process, once the two conditions of indestructible Materials and speed exceeding Yang Zhengxin were met,

then the other party’s fate would only be worse than in the Illusion Realm.

“Absurd! Throughout history, there have always been hundreds or thousands of solutions to traps, never just one. Why is it that with you, there’s only one solution?”

Yang Zhengxin continued to question.

“Elder Yang’s demands are quite high. If Junior didn’t eliminate the remaining ninety-nine solutions, how would I prove that I know traps have a hundred solutions?”

Lu Ze smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, the other Sect Elders actually started to favor Lu Ze a bit.

Everyone naturally knew that Yang Zhengxin was being deliberately difficult.

If Lu Ze had designed a conventional trap, it would be hard to say how it would have been evaluated.

Lu Ze’s design, however, proved that he was deeply proficient in the Dao of mechanisms.

Otherwise, how could he have eliminated all other paths to solving it?

With the words already spoken to this extent, Chao Wendao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

“Alright, Elder Yang. Although the Illusion Realm created by our Sect Disciple looks a bit sloppy, it’s due to time constraints. If there was ample time...”

Chao Wendao hesitated, then smiled at Yang Zhengxin.

His meaning was clear.

If Lu Ze were truly given enough time to create a proper mechanism Illusion Realm following this thought process,

then even if Yang Zhengxin’s Realm wasn’t suppressed, the outcome would probably only be more embarrassing.

In a sense,

the excuse of suppressed Realm was a form of protection for Yang Zhengxin.

At least he would have an excuse for losing.

With that said.

No matter how uncomfortable Yang Zhengxin felt, he couldn’t continue to make things difficult for Lu Ze in public.

Most importantly,

the level Lu Ze designed did indeed have a solution.

It was just that there was only one, and it was a very strange one.

But if they truly debated, he would be the only one in the wrong.

Thinking this, Yang Zhengxin also didn’t want to dwell on the matter any longer.

“Good, good! Your Lingxiao Sect has indeed produced a strange talent.”

Yang Zhengxin slowly clapped his hands, saying sarcastically.

“I’ll have to see if you can still satisfy everyone after the theme for the martial arts competition is set in three days!”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left with the Qingshan Sect Disciples.

Everyone present was whispering, discussing the commotion.

No one noticed.

Lu Ze’s Divine Sense secretly entered the main space of “if you’re a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors”.

He simply modified some parameters.

In the mid-air of Yunling Hall, the Illusion Realm screen of “if you’re a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors” still floated.

Suddenly,

from the standby screen, a ranking list popped out.

It clearly stated:

【Rank: One】

【Sect: Qingshan Sect】

【Cultivator: Yang Zhengxin】

【Highest Level: Two】

Soon, someone noticed the change in the Illusion Realm screen.

“Look, a ranking list?”

“Sect... no, I must also make a name for our Sect!”

“I’ve already figured out the design concept of this Illusion Realm, I want to try it too!”

“Heh, my Tianxuan Sect is skilled in calculation, watch me calculate the path in advance!”

“Is Fellow Daoist joking? Within the Illusion Realm, Spiritual Qi is forbidden! How will you deduce?”

“In my opinion, Yunxian Palace’s footwork is the most ethereal, they will probably take the top spot...”

...

Listening to the discussions below, Lu Ze felt delighted.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

What were these people gathered at Lingxiao Sect for?

Wasn’t it just to compete and vie for the top three spots?

Now that the Sect and ranking features were displayed, these people’s competitive spirit immediately surged.

Furthermore, the first one to get a ranking was an Elder from the Qingshan Sect.

If someone’s ranking was even higher than an Elder’s, wouldn’t that make people even happier?
