I Found the Legendary Power Ranking While Fishing

When young Qiu Xinghe goes fishing, he reels in more than he bargained for—an ancient iron box containing the Heaven-Chasing Ranking, a legendary artifact that measures the combat prowess of all beings across the myriad realms. The moment he touches it, the artifact awakens, binding itself to him and thrusting an ordinary youth into a world of deadly cultivation politics, hidden conspiracies, and relentless enemies. As powerful sects hunt him for the ranking and ancient secrets surface, Qiu must evolve from naive novice to formidable cultivator, driven by an obsession he can't quite name.
