"Now, let me announce the rewards for this ranking battle. :3w."
Ling Wu Gou's words drew everyone's attention back to him and made them listen carefully. The prizes for each ranking match were different. Ling Wu Gou said in a clear voice: "The third-placed individual in the ranking match will receive a 'Purple Vein Dragon Heart Pill', and the second-placed individual will receive three drops of 'Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Liquid'..."
When Ling Wu Gou said this, there was already a cry of surprise from the audience. The names of "Purple Vein Dragon Heart Pill" and "Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Liquid" were well-known to everyone present, because they were both worth a fortune. The former was said to be made from the power of the True Dragon Mysterious Pill, which could allow the user to fully open the Xuanguan in the next month, and increase the cultivation speed several times! The latter could temper the bone marrow and brain marrow, greatly improving the user's physical fitness and mental strength, and obtaining permanent huge benefits. Both of these pills were extremely valuable, and it was almost impossible to buy them even if you had a lot of money. Especially for the younger generation, "Purple Vein Dragon Heart Pill" and "Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Liquid" were absolutely divine medicines.
All the participating disciples present, including those from the top sects, had their eyes fixed straight ahead and swallowing sounds coming from their throats.
However, the conditions for obtaining one of these two kinds of elixirs are extremely harsh... To be in the top three among more than 1,500 top talents is really harder than climbing to the sky.
"...The person who ranks first will receive a mysterious weapon from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region - the Dragon Scale Armor."
“Wow——”
As soon as the first prize was announced, the whole audience burst into an uproar, and the uproar lasted for a long time.
Heavenly Mysterious Weapon…Dragon Scale Armor!!
"As expected of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain, it's really hard not to be shocked by this." Xiao Juetian, the leader of the Xiao Clan, said in shock, "I've heard that this dragon scale armor is made of the scales of a real dragon. It's extremely tough, and it has a certain rebound effect on external profound forces. With the dragon scale armor, it's like having an extra... no, several lives! Lei'er, this time, you must try your best. For this dragon scale armor, even if you are Lingyun, you must try your best. Don't just give up."
"Yes!" Xiao Kuanglei nodded vigorously in response.
"There are only three pieces of Tianxuan-level armor in the entire Blue Wind Empire, and none of them can compare to this dragon scale armor." Fen Moli, the great elder of the Burning Heaven Sect, could no longer keep his composure, but he was not as optimistic as Xiao Juetian, and his expression soon returned to normal: "It's a pity that this dragon scale armor is just used to dazzle our eyes. With Ling Yun present, who can compete with him? In my opinion, this may be a valuable gift brought by Ling Kun from the Tianwei Sword Region, and he took the opportunity to attract our attention in this way. In the end, it's still theirs."
Ling Wu Gou continued his announcement: "The top ten forces in the ranking battle will be eligible to collectively explore the 'Tianchi Secret Realm' after the battle."
"The top ten forces in the ranking battle will have the opportunity to witness the 'Demon' sealing ceremony personally performed by Elder Ling Kun of Tianwei Sword Domain after exploring the 'Tianchi Secret Realm'."
“Demon Sealing Ceremony? What is that?” Yun Che asked Qin Wushang in confusion.
Qin Wushang thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either. Including this time, I've been here three times in total, but I've never had such a 'reward'. However, I have heard of the word 'demon'. I heard that a hundred years ago, Tianwei Sword Region sent a 'demon' to Tianjian Villa and sealed it under the Sword Control Platform. The giant sword in the center of the Sword Control Platform was there to seal that 'demon'. Perhaps this seal needs to be reinforced every once in a while, or perhaps the reason why Ling Kun came to Tianjian Villa was not to witness this year's Cangfeng ranking battle, but to reinforce the seal... Of course, it's just a guess."
Tianjian Villa had a demon sent by Tianwei Sword Region a hundred years ago. Yun Che had heard Cangyue mention this when she introduced Tianjian Villa to him. He glanced around and found that most people were whispering and puzzled... Obviously, they didn't know what the so-called "Demon Sealing Ceremony" was.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Now, I declare that this year's Blue Wind Ranking Tournament officially begins!"
The huge sword arena suddenly fell silent. Ling Wugou's body shook and he flew into the air. A hazy gray shadow passed through the air and in the blink of an eye he landed in the center of the sword arena, where a huge measuring stone had already been erected.
"In this ranking battle, there are a total of 513 sects participating in the ranking, involving 1,535 participating disciples. All participating disciples must be no younger than 16 years old and no older than 20 years old. Those who are not within this age range will be kicked out immediately. Now, the ranking battle number drawing will begin. Before the number is drawn, the age and profound strength test must be conducted. At the same time, this will also let everyone know the names of these outstanding young people... Now, the participating disciples whose names I have called out will immediately come up to take the profound strength test and draw numbers."
In every ranking battle, the Xuanli test is a necessary process. However, this Xuanli test is not really testing Xuanli, but age. After all, the ranking battle has very strict restrictions on the age of participating disciples.
"Tian Dao Sect—Li Badao, Ji Hong, and Ye Changqing!"
The three people whose names Ling Wu Gou called out immediately walked down from their seats and placed their palms on the measuring stones one by one. The ages they measured were 19, 20, and 20 respectively, and the corresponding levels of profound strength were Profound Spirit Realm Level 3, Profound Spirit Realm Level 2, and Profound Spirit Realm Level 2. After that, they drew their own ranking battle numbers at the side and returned to their seats.
"Thunder Mountain—Wu Mu, Wu Feiran, Wu Qingyun!"
"Tianjiang Yunge..."
"Moon Worship Sect..."
"Shenyun Island..."
…………
Wave after wave of participating disciples came forward in groups of sects to undergo the profound force test and draw numbers. As in previous years, the ages of the participating disciples were concentrated around 19 or 20 years old. There were very few 18-year-olds, and very few 17-year-olds. As for 16-year-olds...almost half of the disciples had gone up, but there was still no one.
More than 90% of the profound strength of these participating disciples is concentrated between the first and fifth levels of the Profound Spirit Realm, and less than one tenth of them are above the fifth level of the Profound Spirit Realm. Being able to step into the Profound Spirit Realm before the age of 20, even in the imperial capital of the Blue Wind Empire, can be called a genius among geniuses. The first Profound Palace of the Blue Wind, including the outsider Fen Juechen, only has three people. In small cities like Liuyun and Xinyue, it is simply unimaginable. But here, they can only become mediocre. The young profound practitioners above the fifth level of the Profound Spirit Realm are the geniuses among these geniuses. They are also the top component of the ranking battle.
As for the True Profound Realm… at least until now, there is not a single one.
"Xiao Sect—Xiao Kuanglei, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Nan."
As soon as the name "Xiao Sect" came out, the whole audience suddenly fell silent again. The four great sects that had great power over Cangfeng finally began to take the stage!
The three contestants from the Xiao Sect walked out from their seats and walked side by side to the center of the sword arena. The way they walked was different from the disciples of other sects, and between their brows, there was a kind of arrogance that was almost taken for granted.
Xiao Kuanglei——20 years old——Level 9 of Lingxuan Realm.
Xiao Kuanglei was the first to undergo the mystical power test. When the result came out, there was an exclamation from the audience, especially those disciples who were usually arrogant and were known as the "No. 1 genius" in their own territories. They were simply stunned and could not believe their eyes.
He is only twenty years old, but he has already reached the ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm and is only two steps away from the Earthly Profound Realm. How is this possible? They shouted tremblingly in their hearts.
The exclamation that sounded in his ears made Xiao Zhen snort coldly. He took a step forward and placed his palm on the measuring stone.
Xiao Zhen——20 years old——Level 9 of Lingxuan Realm.
This time, the already dumbfounded young disciples were even more stunned. In the past, they only heard about the reputation of the four major sects with their ears, but this time, they used their eyes to truly witness the horror of the four major sects.
Finally, it’s Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan——18 years old——Level 6 of Lingxuan Realm.
Although Xiao Nan's profound strength was the lowest among the three, he was two years younger than Xiao Kuanglei and Xiao Zhen. With this age and profound strength level, his shocking power was no less than the previous two.
Not long after, three participating disciples from Burning Heaven Sect also came on stage.
Fen Jin——20 years old——9th level of Lingxuan realm.
Fen Juebi——20 years old——8th level of Lingxuan realm.
Fen Yuange——19 years old——Seventh level of Lingxuan realm.
"'Fen Jin' is the grandson of Fen Moli, the great elder of Fen Tian Sect, and is also the first disciple of Fen Tian Sect in this ranking battle. As for Fen Juebi, his talent is inferior to Fen Juecheng, and he cannot become the first protagonist of Fen Tian Sect in this ranking battle." Qin Wushang explained casually.
"Ice Cloud Immortal Palace—Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, Xia Qingyue."
Among the four major sects, Bingyun Immortal Palace has the fewest disciples, because when Bingyun Immortal Palace selects disciples, it not only limits them to women, but also has extremely strict requirements on their qualifications, talents, and appearance. Therefore, in terms of the average strength of the disciples, even Tianjian Villa cannot compare with Bingyun Immortal Palace. At the same time, all the disciples of Bingyun Immortal Palace are beautiful. The most beautiful woman "Chu Yuechan" who attracted countless young talents back then was from Bingyun Immortal Palace.
As expected, as soon as the three girls from the Ice Cloud Palace appeared, the whole place suddenly gulped. The young disciples who could reach here were all at the top of their own territory, and they could enjoy all kinds of beauties at will. However, the temperament of the female disciples of the Ice Cloud Palace was incomparable to that of ordinary girls. The ice flowers floating naturally on their bodies added a dreamy atmosphere to them. The last girl had a veil on her face, so her true appearance could not be seen. The young disciples focused their attention on the faces and figures of Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin, staring at them with their eyes wide open, their souls lost.
"Brother-in-law, look, it's my sister!!"
Even though Xia Qingyue was wearing a veil, Xia Yuanba still recognized her at a glance. He quickly grabbed Yun Che's arm and shouted excitedly.
“Shh…” Yun Che hurriedly hushed him and whispered, “I know she is Qingyue, and I also knew that she would come to participate in this ranking competition… You can call me brother-in-law, but never call her sister again. Female disciples of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace are forbidden to marry. If someone hears something, it will be very disadvantageous to her, and we will also receive unnecessary attention.”
Xia Yuanba quickly covered his mouth with both hands and nodded repeatedly, not daring to shout anymore.
Yun Che’s gaze fell on Xia Qingyue’s back, and his heart was filled with ups and downs… After not seeing her for a year and a half, she had obviously grown taller. Her already extremely graceful body was now even more perfect. Just by looking at her back, one could imagine how stunning and charming she was… Under her veil, her face might have already become even more breathtakingly beautiful.
“That girl with the veil is… is… Yuanba’s sister… your wife?” No one else could hear Xia Yuanba’s words, but Cangyue, who was sitting next to him, could hear them clearly. She looked at Xia Qingyue in a daze… looking at the wife of her beloved, her voice and eyes were filled with an indescribable complex emotion.
Regardless of whether they had real feelings for each other or not, regardless of whether they had ever been married in reality... after all, she was his wife... He had been married in a formal ceremony, worshiped the heavens and the earth, worshiped the elders, and the heavens and the earth could attest to that...
