In the last half a month, the most talked about thing amongst the martial artists of the Chaotic Universal Mountain was none other than the fact that the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, Huang Shenyi, had challenged Huang Yichen.
As the news spread, everyone was curious as to who Huang Yichen really was and why it was worth Huang Shenyi to give her a battle cry.
Many experts on the Heavenly Ranking also rushed to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, wanting to observe the battle.
Their purpose, of course, was not Huang Yichen. Even if Huang Yichen’s beauty had long been rumoured amongst the younger generation of martial artists, but for a Heavenly Ranking martial artist, what beauty hadn’t they seen? Even if they had slept with quite a few beauties, there was nothing surprising about it.
The person they were truly interested in was the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, Huang Shenyi.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, in the recent decades, there was no telling how many wizards and geniuses had been born, but only Huang Shenyi had amassed more than ten million points in General Merit Value.
If there were no accidents, Huang Shenyi would definitely be able to accumulate thirty million points of military merit value and reach the supreme extremity of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Who wouldn’t want to defeat such a character?
Especially the top ten ranked experts on the Heavenly Ranking List, they all wanted to see what level Huang Shenyi’s true strength had reached.
If they were able to defeat Huang Shenyi, then they would be able to obtain more than 10 million points of military merit value, and thus, have the opportunity to go and impact the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm.
At the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking Stone Monument, there was a Martial Market Fighting Arena opened by the Martial Market Chambers, specialising in Market Realm warriors. As long as one was able to win ten matches in a row at the Martial Market Fighting Arena, one would be able to obtain a huge amount of spirit crystals.
Of course, the more consecutive victories one had, the higher the amount of reward one would receive.
The scale of this Martial Market Arena was not too large, and could only accommodate roughly three thousand people to watch the battle. As early as ten days ago, the tickets for the Martial Market Arena were all sold out. Among them, the highest-priced tickets were even sold at a sky-high price of 50,000 Spirit Crystals each, yet there were still people rushing to buy them.
Today, was the last day of the appointment between Huang Shenyi and Huang Yichen, and the three thousand seats in the Martial Market Fighting Arena had already been filled.
“Huang Yichen can’t be ranked even in the Eastern Domain Sacred Academy, how could Huang Shenyi lower himself to challenge her?”A young man wearing a green coloured Confucian coat said coldly.
This man, named Xun Long, ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking List, was the absolute pride of the Central Region’s Confucian Dao, his cultivation, unfathomable.
Zhuang Tingtian laughed and said, ”Brother Xun, you don’t know, although Huang Shenyi isn’t considered an expert, however, her fiancé is an extraordinary character, and it is said to be an emanation of the Buddha Emperor. In my opinion, the person Huang Shenyi really wants to deal with should be him.”
“Oh! There is actually this matter?”
Xun Long was slightly surprised and said, “For the last three years, I have been in seclusion refining the Sage Flame, so I haven’t heard of the matter of the Buddha Emperor’s heir.”
This time, it was Zhuang Tingtian’s turn to be shocked, saying, “You actually have actually ignited the Sage Flame?”
Xun Long smiled, “As early as three years ago, I had already ignited the Saint’s Flame. After three years of closed-door cultivation and the infusion of holy qi into my body, the sage’s fire has spread throughout my entire body’s meridians.”
The cultivation style of Confucian cultivators was a bit different from that of martial artists. They paid more attention to the cultivation of spiritual power, and at the same time, they had to ignite the Saint’s Flame within their bodies before they could be considered to have transcended mortals and crossed over into the Fish Dragon Realm.
However, Xunlong was quite heaven-defying, having ignited the Saint’s Flame, he still suppressed his realm at the Heavenly Extremity Realm Grand Circle.
After three years of closed-door cultivation, his strength was further advanced, cultivating the Saint’s Flame to the realm of “Fire Refining Meridians”.
Even for many cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm, it was not an easy task to reach that realm.
Zhuang Tingtian sighed, “In that case, Brother Xun has come out of the gate this time just for the Yellow Divine Isolation.”
Xun Long was quite conceited and smiled lightly as he said, “Huang Shenyi is indeed a rare talent that can be found in a hundred years, it’s just a pity that he was born at the wrong time and met me. With my strength three years ago, it would not have been difficult to defeat him. Three years later, I have only one goal, and that is the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm.”
Afterwards, Xun Long’s gaze, fixed on Zhuang Tingtian and asked, “Brother Zhuang doesn’t have to be self-effacing, seven years ago, you were already the sixth on the Heavenly Ranking. During these seven years, you have been travelling overseas, fighting against the savage beasts of the seas, and your strength has also greatly improved, right?”
Zhuang Tingtian shook his head and smiled, saying, “There has indeed been some improvement.”
Xun Long said, “I remember, seven years ago, you cultivated the Seal of Life and Death to the fifth layer of the realm of nine deaths and one life, now, you should have reached the sixth layer of the realm of ten deaths and no life, right?”
Zhuang Tingtian’s expression was solemn, and a hint of arrogance appeared in his eyes as he said, “No, it’s the seventh layer of life and death.”
The smile on Xun Long’s face, instantly tightened, and he said, “Originally, Brother Zhuang came to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain with ambitions. It was to use the Yellow Divine Fey as a stepping stone to impact the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity.”
“Each other, each other.”Zhuang Tingtian laughed, “I also had a strange encounter, otherwise, it would be impossible for me to break through to the seventh level.”
Xun Long said, “Whether it’s Huang Yichen, or that one Buddha Emperor’s heir, they’re both too young, and it’s definitely impossible for them to be Huang Shenyi’s opponents. Then, the only people who can defeat Huang Shenyi today could be the two of us. Brother Zhuang, why don’t you make the first move?”
Zhuang Tingtian shook his head and laughed, “Wait a little longer, I’m quite interested in that one Buddha Emperor’s heir, let him fight Huang Shenyi first, then it won’t be too late for me to make my move.”
Xun Long snorted coldly, “I think that that one Buddha Emperor’s heir is a waste of time, he doesn’t dare to fight Huang Shen Yi at all. Brother Zhuang is willing to wait, but I am not willing to wait any longer.”
After saying this, Xun Long stood up and flew towards the central Heavenly Battle Platform.
Beneath his feet, there was a cloud of violet qi flowing, that was the vast and righteous qi of the Confucian Way.
With his eyes closed, Huang Shenyi stood at the centre of the Heavenly Battle Platform and felt that Vast and Righteous Qi, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked over.
Right at this moment, Xun Long landed on top of the battle platform and stood opposite Huang Shen Yi.
“Huang Shenyi, you don’t need to wait, I see that that one Buddha Emperor’s heir, I’m afraid he doesn’t dare to come to the Martial Market Fighting Arena, it’s better for me to fight you.”Xun Long said.
Huang Shenyi stared at him carefully and said, “Seventh on the Heavenly Ranking, Xun Long?”
“That’s right, it is precisely me.”Xun Long said in a neutral tone.
There was an uproar in the martial market fighting arena, no one had expected that the first person to fight Huang Shenyi would be the equally prestigious Xun Long.
“He’s that one wunderkind from the Xun Sacred Family, Xun Long… It’s said that he ignited the Saint’s Flame three years ago, and he actually hasn’t broken through to the Fish Dragon Realm yet?”
“It should just be an heir, it can’t be taken seriously.”
“What do you know, Xun Long has indeed ignited the Saint’s Flame, he should have deliberately suppressed his realm, just because he wants to impact the Heavenly Extreme Realm’s Supreme Extreme Realm.”
“Three years ago, his cultivation, it was that terrifying. After three years, what realm has it reached?”
“Worth it, too worth it! To be able to see Huang Shenyi and Xun Long fight, this ticket is worth selling.”
Originally, those who watched the battle, still felt that Huang Yichen and Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was too weak, and even if they fought with Huang Shenyi, it was expected that they would be killed in a single move, so there was nothing to see at all.
However, Xun Long’s appearance caused the crowd to become excited.
The Heavenly Ranking Stone Monument, which was six hundred and seventy-six metres tall and resembled an atmospheric and lofty square stone mountain, stood right next to the Martial Market Fighting Arena.
Standing at the top of the Heavenly Ranking Stone Monument, one could clearly see the battles in the Martial City Fighting Arena.
Of course, the Heavenly Ranking was very sacred, and even if a half-saint dared to ascend the Heavenly Ranking Stone Monument, he would definitely be subdued by the Heavenly Ranking’s Artifact Spirit.
However, at this moment, at the top of the Heavenly Ranking Stone Monument, there were two people.
An old man and a veiled young woman.
The old man wore a purple robe and had a head full of white hair, giving off a sense of immortality. If Zhang Ruochen were here, he would be able to recognise him as none other than the Heavenly Ranking Artifact Spirit.
The woman sitting opposite the Heavenly Ranking Artifact Spirit, her body, wrapped in a faint mist, could only faintly see a flawless figure and snow-white jade-like skin, full of mysterious beauty.
To be able to sit opposite the Heavenly Ranking Artifact Spirit, she was naturally not an ordinary person, being someone who was very mysterious in the entire Eastern Region, and even in the entire Kunlun Realm, the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
The only thing the people of the heavens knew about her was that she authored the East Region Wind and Cloud Newspaper.
In her hands, the Sacred Book Talented Lady had a scroll cupped in one hand and a pen cupped in the other, her voice was soft and melodious as she leisurely said, ”Ten days ago, the Empress gave a secret order for me to give her a list of the Realm Sons. This matter is of great importance, involving the future of the entire Kunlun Realm, and I don’t dare to make a decision easily, so I have come to ask the Heavenly List senior.”
The Heavenly List Artifact Spirit’s expression twitched as it said, “The Empress’s cultivation is heavenly and earthly, and her lifespan is long, so even if she lives for another thousand years, it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Why would she suddenly think of selecting a boundary son? Could it be that she wants to give up her throne?”
The so-called “Boundary Son” was the son of the Kunlun Boundary, who would take over the emperor’s throne in the future and become the Lord of the Kunlun Boundary.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady shook her head and said, “The heart of the Empress is not something we can speculate on. According to her meaning, the son of the realm needs nine candidates, and each of them must be a wizard of the ages. Senior, do you think that Huang Shenyi has the qualifications to be the first candidate for Boundary Son?”
The Heavenly Ranking Artifact Spirit laughed and said, “Girl, at your young age, you are already a Spiritual Power Saint, and your ability to read and recognise people is even higher than mine. This kind of small matter, why do you still need to ask me?”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden said, “With Huang Shenyi’s current strength, he is definitely able to reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm’s Supreme Extreme Realm. However, in this era, there are so many geniuses and a gathering of dragons and snakes that it’s really hard for people to decide.”
The Heavenly Ranking Artifact Spirit said, “I can only reveal to you that Huang Shenyi was in the Yellow Extreme Realm and had reached the Supreme Extreme Realm. If, however, he also reached the Supreme Extremity Realm in the Heavenly Extremity Realm, then it would be two Supreme Extremity Realms with great potential.”
“I see.”
The Sacred Book Talent Lady’s pair of beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and the pen in her hand gently moved before writing down the name “Huang Shenyi” on the scroll.
Of course, it does not mean that Huang Shenyi is already a candidate for the sector son, just temporarily wrote down his name. The Sacred Scripture Talented Maiden would have to meet him in person before she could determine whether he could become one of the candidates for the Sons of the Realm.
