The next day.
The entire nation was nervous and on edge.
Online forums were buzzing with discussions about yesterday's announcement on the rankings.
The new rules of the rankings were causing unease among many.
Because the top ten can kill others to gain cultivation, and without limit, many low-level cultivators are afraid.
Afraid that strong individuals might quietly eliminate them to boost their power; if those ten people want to kill them, it would be effortless.
Originally, ordinary people were afraid of cultivators, but now the whole nation fears the top ten.
Afraid that if any of the top ten get unhappy, they might kill others to enhance their cultivation, just like the Demon Cultivators in novels.
Besides, another matter is spreading widely online, creating quite a stir.
That's about Elder Chen Mingyuan, a Huaxia Academician, aged one hundred and thirty, whose bodily functions have almost ceased, and is on the verge of passing away.
