“Senior, what do you think about my... Tianyin Dynasty...”
Beichen Heng rubbed his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.
But the implication was clear enough.
If Senior was giving away information for free, it wouldn't be right to let outsiders benefit. His own Tianyin Dynasty also needed some opportunities. If Senior could casually leak a few, it would be enough to change his life.
At the very least, getting a few chances would be great.
Even if he couldn't become an Emperor, becoming a Saint King at the very least wouldn't be too shabby.
“Do you want it?”
Li Yun raised an eyebrow.
Beichen Heng didn't respond but eagerly nodded.
“Wait, let me take a look first.”
Li Yun said, turning his attention to the system. He spoke, “System, how many Heavenly Machine Points are needed to query the ranking of the geniuses?”
There were so many spies from different forces outside, and Li Yun planned to create a ranking list. He would send it back with them, using their hands to spread the news—there was probably no faster way.
This would be much more efficient than promoting it on his own.
Not only would it boost the Heavenly Machine Tower's reputation, but he wouldn't have to put in much effort, effectively achieving two goals at once.
The only thing that worried him was how many Heavenly Machine Points this ranking would cost. If it required too many, it might not be worth it.
Because,
If the list were created, it would require constant updates, and each update would cost a significant number of points. Even with his vast wealth, he wouldn't be able to keep up indefinitely.
At the core,
He only wanted to build up his reputation, but didn't want to spend too much.
[Ding!]
[Querying the Genius Rankings does not require Heavenly Machine Points.]
[However, querying detailed information about any individual genius requires a certain number of Heavenly Machine Points.]
“Hmm?”
Li Yun smiled.
Free?
After a moment of thought, he understood. It was just like when he queried the opportunities for becoming a Saint before—the system had provided countless opportunities, ranked from high to low.
The genius rankings worked the same way.
They were essentially a list, ranked from high to low. As long as he didn't delve into the secrets of the geniuses, he wouldn't need to spend any Heavenly Machine Points at all. He could simply pull up the list directly.
“System, show me the top 100 geniuses in this world.”
Li Yun thought to himself.
He then added, “Just list human geniuses between 200 and 500 years old.”
This world was vast.
There were many races, and who could say how many humans would make up the top 100? If there weren't any humans on the list, he might end up embarrassing them.
His goal was to make sure at least one human was on the list—otherwise, it could be dismissed as a joke.
Most of the people he knew were human, and if none appeared on the list, people would likely forget it after a glance.
As for the age range—200 years old was when a cultivator had just entered the path, and 500 years old or older was when they were no longer considered geniuses. Such people were viewed more as elders, so including them in the same list would be a bit unfair.
“Also,”
Li Yun seemed to remember something and added, “It would be best to include details such as the teacher, sect, strength, weapons, and achievements without using Heavenly Machine Points.”
Since it was free, he might as well ask for more.
System: “...”
[Ding!]
[Query for geniuses between 200 and 500 years old, human race, successful.]
A crisp system notification sounded.
In front of Li Yun, a faint blue screen materialized, filled with dense information. From top to bottom, there were exactly 100 entries.
[Rank 1: Yu Qingxian. (10,000 Heavenly Machine Points to view all details)]
[Rank 2: Ye Chen. Sect: Ye Imperial Clan. Cultivation Method: Creation Sutra. Achievements: Killed a Heavenly Change-level opponent while in the Transcendence Realm. (8,000 Heavenly Machine Points to view all details)]
[Rank 3: Lin Zhan. Sect: Lin Imperial Clan. Cultivation Method: Longevity Sutra. Achievements: None. (8,000 Heavenly Machine Points to view all details)]
...
[Rank 31: Feng Nishang. Sect: None. Achievements: Defeated two Heavenly Change-level figures in Transcendence Realm without being defeated.]
[Rank 32: Yao Guang's Holy Son. Sect: Yao Guang Holy Land. (7,000 Heavenly Machine Points to view all details)]
...
[Rank 100: Yan Qingshuang. Sect: Da Luo Sword Sect. Strength: Late Transcendence Realm. Teacher: Ren Qingtú. Cultivation Method: Da Luo Sword Sutra. Achievements: Killed three core disciples of Nine Nether Demon Sect and two Elders of Sky Disaster Sect, narrowly escaping death in a fight with a Heavenly Change-level figure.]
...
Li Yun glanced over the list, feeling quite impressed. For once, the system had acted fairly. Although the information wasn't particularly secretive—most details were missing—it was still more substantial than just a name.
He scrolled down the list, seeing many names he didn't recognize, only spotting a familiar one at Rank 32: Yao Guang's Holy Son.
It wasn't until Rank 100 that he saw someone from the Da Luo Sword Sect.
As for the Tianyin Dynasty...
Not a single name appeared.
“System, do you think it's appropriate that Rank 1, Yu Qingxian, only has a name listed?”
Li Yun asked in a low voice.
The rest of the names at least had their sect or achievements mentioned, but Yu Qingxian had no sect, no gender, no cultivation method, and no accomplishments listed. It seemed odd.
