The Night Yama King, who had been closing his eyes on the high platform, also showed a surprised look at this time.

When Li Muran faced the challenge for the first time and chose to avoid the battle and give up, he was not surprised. Because it was daylight now, he thought that Li Muran was afraid that he would not be able to show his strongest strength during the day and defeat the master who was originally ranked sixteenth, so he simply admitted defeat and saved mana.

This approach was also very much agreed with by the Night Yama King, and he also felt that Li Muran's approach was very wise. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have made the same choice.

However, in the face of the challenge of a monk surnamed Lin who was ranked in more than 20 places, Li Muran could no longer avoid the battle and give up, and could only choose to respond to the battle, the Night Hades King was still a little worried about Li Muran, afraid that he would do it during the day, and it would be a little late.

However, if he openly asked for a competition at night, it would invisibly expose Li Muran's identity as half of the Dire Clan, which was also inappropriate.

What he never expected was that Li Muran would capture his opponent alive in such a short period of time, and it was still during the day!

"This Li Xiaoyou's strength is actually so strong! It seems that in addition to his own clan's exercises, he has also cultivated other supernatural powers that are also very powerful!" said the Night Yama King secretly in his heart. After all, Li Muran was the one he personally introduced to the Dire Clan and Tianzhumen, and seeing that Li Muran had retained the top twenty rankings, he was also secretly happy for Li Muran.

Li Muran won the challenge, according to the rules of the Tianzhumen challenge, in order to avoid a monk being constantly challenged by a wheel war, as long as he wins a challenge, he can no longer accept other challenges, so Li Muran's sixteenth position can be regarded as consolidated.

As for the monk surnamed Nalin, because he had temporarily lost his combat power, he could no longer participate in the challenge competition, and according to the rules of Tianzhumen, his ranking would drop by ten places, from twenty-four to thirty-four, and at the same time, other monks with lower rankings could not challenge him.

After seeing this living lesson, the monks of Tianzhumen, who were originally very cautious about the challenge, did not dare to rashly exercise the right to challenge.

The "One Knife", who is now ranked twelfth, is also quietly looking at Li Muran at this time, with a complicated expression.

He knew very well in his heart that even if the monk surnamed Lin was not his opponent, he would never be able to capture the other party alive in an instant. The strength of this greedy charm is unfathomable, and it is extremely mysterious! The rumored people who have worked with the greedy charm are all dead people! Only the monk surnamed Lin, who doesn't know anything, survived!

If Greedy Charm chose to fight with him at that time, instead of actively avoiding the battle and giving up, what would be the result and who would win and who would lose, these questions made "Yidao", who was originally quite confident in his strength, faintly shake in his heart.

To get the current ranking, he was secretly lucky in his heart. However, if he wanted to almost have a big fight with such a greedy charm, he was also inexplicably afraid in his heart. If he had known that greed was so terrifying, he probably wouldn't have dared to challenge him!

The ranking challenge continues in an orderly manner. The closer they are to the midstream rankings, the easier it is to cause disputes, after all, they are not the top masters, and their strength is very close, no one is convinced, and they all want to make their rankings climb a few more places.

However, these rankings have not affected the high-ranking Li Muran and others. Ranked sixteenth, although his ranking dropped slightly, it had little impact on him. The decline in the ranking will also make his fame somewhat restricted, and he may be able to take on a few fewer tasks, which is also the result that Li Muran hopes to see.

A few days later, the ranking ceremony ended, all the rankings were settled, and the final ranking list was engraved on a jade wall in the main hall of Tianzhu Pavilion, unless someone fell and replaced, otherwise this ranking will remain unchanged for a hundred years!

After the ranking ceremony, Li Muran returned to the cave and continued to retreat. His magic power is the time to cultivate the speed of the gods, and it cannot be delayed.

After more than ten years, Li Muran broke through the barrier and went directly to Tianzhu Pavilion.

When the Iron Elder of the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion saw Li Mu, he smiled slightly: "Greedy Daoist has finally advanced to the late stage of the Demon Body! With the strength of the Daoist, it should have advanced a long time ago! This is also good, the top thirty monks in this sect are at least all in the late stage of the Demon Body cultivation, this is normal." ”

In the past ten years, after Li Muran continued to cultivate the fifth layer and high-level dark night exercises of the Taixu Sutra, his cultivation has been improving day by day, and he finally broke through to the late stage of the demon body not long ago. Looking at the entire process before and after the breakthrough, it was the easiest advance for Li Muran, and it was like flowing clouds and water, without encountering the slightest resistance, which was almost unimaginably smooth in the cultivation of high-level monks.

The reason for this is nothing more than four words: it comes naturally!

Li Muran's physical body has reached the limit of the cultivation of the human race demon body stage, unless he fundamentally changes his physique, or if he cultivates to a great progress, it is difficult to improve too much. And his mana, because of the cultivation of the "Nameless Technique", is extremely condensed, and many monks who have cultivated at the peak of the late stage of the demon body do not have as deep mana as him. As for the Divine Thoughts, after reaching the fifth layer of the "Taixu Sutra", I am afraid that he will be the first person in the realm of the Demon Body Stage!

All kinds of conditions for the late stage of the advanced demon body, Li Muran has already met, and even exceeded a lot. Under such circumstances, as long as he cultivated the high-level Dark Night Technique to this level, he would naturally not encounter any resistance, and he would advance to the late stage of the Demon Body.

Elder Tie had long known that Li Muran's strength was very high, so it was only a matter of time before he advanced to the late stage of the Demon Body. Now that he saw Li Muran advancing, he was not surprised at all, because this matter had long been expected by him.

"Cultivation is advanced, and the greedy little friend took the initiative to come to the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion to see the old man, isn't it planning to end the retreat and carry out the task?" Elder Tie asked with a smile.

Li Muran nodded: "The subordinates are indeed here to accept the task. However, there is a special request from the subordinates, I wonder if the sect can meet it?"

Elder Tie said with a smile: "Greedy little friend, even though he said, any request, as long as it is reasonable, this sect will try its best to meet it. There are many tasks that this sect has received, and the monks of this sect also have different exercises, so they can always find the most suitable person to carry out the most suitable task!"

Li Muran said: "My subordinates really want to travel all over the world, and broaden their horizons while training. Therefore, the subordinates want to carry out a mission that is far away, such as in the West Demon Sea, or even the Yellow Horn Continent!"

"Greedy little friend wants to go to the Yellow Horn Continent?" Elder Tie said with a slight surprise, "Little Friend knows that although the Heavenly Sect is also powerful, its sphere of influence has not expanded to the Yellow Horn Continent. In other words, if Xiaoyou is on a mission in the Yellow Horn Continent, he will not have the secret support of the sect behind him, and he can almost only complete it on his own!"

"Subordinates understand!" Li Muran nodded: "Although there is a higher risk, but you can also experience everywhere, after your subordinates cultivate to the late stage of the advanced demon body, the next step of pursuit is naturally the advanced Mahayana period." If you want to advance to the Mahayana stage, you have to have an epiphany. I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an epiphany when I retreat and practice penance all day long, so my subordinates plan to travel around. At this time, the subordinate cultivators are Xiaocheng, and their strength is at their peak, so it is a good time to travel around!"

Elder Tie nodded, and then said, "Missions that need to go to the West Demon Sea or the Yellow Horn Continent are very rare, and if you are interested, you will need to wait for a while. In addition, if this sect sends Xiaoyou to perform such a task, it will also set a certain prohibition on Xiaoyou, in case Xiaoyou will never return!"

"Set a ban?" Li Muran frowned when he heard this.

Elder Tie said, "Normally, this kind of prohibition is restricted, and it will not affect Xiaoyou's magical powers and daily practice. However, if you can't return to your own sect within a hundred years, the ban will break out at any time, and it will be very terrifying!"

Li Muran nodded, he had expected that it would be impossible for the Tianzhu Sect to let the monks in the sect leave the sect's sphere of influence lightly, and it was normal to have this move.

After he pondered for a while, he still felt that it was necessary to return to the Yellow Horn Continent first to find out if the Thousand Illusion Fairy was safe. If you return to Tianzhumen within a hundred years, you can remove the ban.

Therefore, Li Muran finally said: "My subordinates understand! My subordinates are willing to accept the rules of the sect, and I hope that the sect can send their subordinates to carry out tasks in places such as Huangjiaoda or the West Demon Sea!"

Elder Tie nodded slightly: "Old man knows! Greedy little friend, please go back to the cave and wait patiently, if there is a similar task, old man will notify Xiao You immediately!"

"Thank you, Elder Tie!" Li Muran saluted, and then retired.

After Li Muran returned to Dongfuzhong, he waited patiently for the news, and at the same time made full preparations for his future trip.

He needed to practice continuously to produce better magical powers, and the talismans in his hand had been used up a lot, and it took a lot of time and mana to slowly refine and replenish them.

As for the Dark Sword and the Greedy Sword, the two natal swords that have been refined into his body, they also need to be continuously refined and cultivated with the true fire of the monk transformed by the Dantian True Yuan, and gradually improve the compatibility between these two swords and Li Muran.

All of them are going on in an orderly manner, although Li Muran's practice is lonely but not lonely, although it is monotonous but not boring, although it is closed all day long, but it is also extremely fulfilling.

One day a few years later, Li Muran finally waited for Elder Tie's communication.

"Do you finally have a chance to return to the Yellow Horn Continent?" Li Muran was surprised and delighted, after he received the transmission note from Elder Tie, he immediately flew towards the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion.

Along the way, he actually met several monks who were also rushing to the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion, and after asking each other, these people actually received the transmission notes from Elder Tie!

"What kind of task is it that you want to notify so many monks to make a move?" Li Muran was surprised in his heart.
