Today was just another ordinary day.
But one thing made it all the more special.
That means the Heavenly Secrets Ranking will be released today!
The Heavenly Secrets Ranking does not belong to any organization or individual.
It is released once every hundred years, and the release location is the highest mountain in the cultivation world - Jiuding Peak.
The mountain has nine peaks of the same height, and it is named after the shape of the peaks, which resemble giant cauldrons.
At the time of its release, a transparent celestial book appeared out of thin air between the nine peaks.
The Heavenly Secrets Ranking is divided into two lists: the Sect Ranking and the Individual Ranking.
This list of secrets is not just a simple ranking.
Those listed will all be affected, especially sects.
The spiritual energy, opportunities, medicinal herbs, mountain treasures, and even the aptitude and physical attributes of the people within the sect's territory will all be affected as the sect's status rises and falls.
The Shushan Sword Sect's status as a near-first-class sect was determined by the Heavenly Secrets Ranking.
...
The Nine Peaks are about 100,000 feet high, and they disappear into the white clouds before you even reach the halfway point.
The area is covered with dense, chilling air; those with lower cultivation levels risk falling even halfway up the mountain, let alone reaching the summit.
To reach the pinnacle, one must at least be at the Nascent Soul stage.
Alternatively, it is also possible for someone to accompany them and release protective energy to ensure their safety.
This is a matter of utmost importance for any sect.
The Shushan Sword Sect was no exception.
Moreover, all the disciples were confident that the Shushan Sword Sect would definitely become a first-class sect this time!
After all, the aptitude and cultivation of all disciples have improved significantly. The sect has not only produced two Mahayana Realm cultivators, but also two invincible cultivation techniques!
Indeed, everyone believes that Tai Chi Swordplay and Dugu Nine Swords are invincible martial arts techniques.
Not only is it invincible among those of the same level, but it is even possible to fight and win against those from other realms.
The Shushan Sword Sect no longer needs to be as cautious as before when looking at the Heavenly Secrets Ranking.
After all, their foundations are already different.
Shenqing Zhenjun was stationed at the Shushan Sword Sect's headquarters, and Jian Qingfeng led some of his most talented disciples to check the rankings.
In the past, let alone splitting into two groups like this, even sending just one person required extreme caution for fear of any accidents.
Ye Feng himself wasn't very interested in the rankings, but he was very interested in the scenery of Jiuding Peak.
I've always enjoyed traveling and sightseeing.
I once dreamed of climbing Mount Everest.
But he eventually gave up, after all, he only had one life, and he wasn't about to do something so reckless.
The height of Jiuding Peak is roughly equivalent to 40 Mount Everests stacked on top of each other. Wouldn't visiting it be equivalent to climbing Mount Everest more than 40 times?
Early in the morning, Jian Qingfeng set off with Ye Feng and a group of disciples.
All the disciples were both excited and thrilled.
Her face was beaming with a captivating smile.
After all, people are in high spirits when they have good news.
The Qingfeng Sword materialized into a form 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, floating beneath everyone's feet.
It travels through the sky at extremely high speeds.
They would occasionally overtake people from other sects along the way, naturally attracting envious glances.
A triumphant moment!
This was Elder Jian Chen's strongest feeling.
Jian Chen glanced at Ye Feng, who was handing out popcorn chicken to his disciples, and finally revealed a fatherly smile.
Ye Feng treated this trip as a vacation.
Not only did they prepare popcorn chicken and fries, but they also prepared a lot of rice, dishes, and braised meat.
If asked who they would most like to accompany when going out, all the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would definitely choose Ye Feng.
Going out with Junior Uncle is like a free trip. It's not only fun, but also has endless delicious food. Everyone eats until their mouths are greasy and they exclaim how satisfying it is.
The aroma of the food wafted far and wide, lingering for a long time.
...
"Holy crap, what's that smell?"
"It smells so damn good, could it be that some kind of miraculous medicine has been invented?"
"Oh, that's so lucky! Let's keep looking. If we can find it, this trip will have been totally worth it!"
"Did you find it?"
"We didn't find the miracle drug, there was nothing at all."
"I did find something that looks like a chicken bone."
"I found some pork bones."
The group of people who thought they had found treasure looked at each other in bewilderment...
Flying towards Jiuding Peak, the journey was not entirely peaceful.
There are always some people who have grudges from the past and grievances from the present. When enemies meet, they are especially hostile and, no matter what they are doing, they will fight each other first.
The Shushan Sword Sect had no allies, so they didn't concern themselves with these matters.
Until he encountered the Guiyi Sect.
"Whoosh!"
When the leader of the Guiyi Sect saw the people from the Shushan Sword Sect, he was immediately taken aback.
They hurriedly set off at full speed, unleashing their full power.
They had recently heard some things about the Shushan Sword Sect, which was located in a remote area.
They knew that the Shushan Sword Sect was no longer what it used to be.
I tried to avoid these routes by taking the most remote ones, but I still ran into them.
"Whoosh!"
The speed of the Qingfeng Sword phantom increased dramatically, and it chased after the people of Guiyi Sect.
Jian Qingfeng sneered inwardly.
I'm using all my senses to search for your team. You think you can avoid me by taking a stealthy route?
It's a bit of a shame that no one at the Mahayana Realm came, but wiping out the others and collecting some interest is some consolation!
Given Jian Qingfeng's speed, there are probably very few, if any, cultivators in the entire cultivation world who can keep up with him.
Although leading a group of disciples slightly affected their speed, it was still far beyond what the Guiyi Sect could match.
Before long, they had arrived at the Guiyi Sect's warship.
The leader, Master Yangming, was also a ruthless man. When he saw the people from the Shushan Sword Sect catching up, he raised his hand and threw a long spear over.
This chase had already attracted the attention of all parties, and now everyone kept their distance and stayed where they were to watch the spectacle.
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw the Guiyi Sect members throw out their spears.
"Good heavens, the Guiyi Sect and the Shushan Sword Sect are truly mortal enemies. They're unleashing their ultimate moves the moment they meet. This forbidden weapon spear must be at least as powerful as a full-force attack from an early-stage Mahayana cultivator!"
"Hmm, even if the Shushan Sword Sect's patriarch, who is at the Mahayana Realm, came in person, he would probably have to put in some effort to deal with this attack."
"After all, he has only recently advanced to the Mahayana realm. Although his attack is extremely powerful, his defense is probably somewhat lacking."
"Yes, fellow Daoist's insight is profound. Although we can handle it, it will likely cause some trouble."
I think... blanching!
"Holy crap?! You can do that?"
"What the hell... what level of attack is that?"
Just when everyone thought that Jian Qingfeng would definitely be able to solve this forbidden artifact, but there would also be some trouble, Jian Qingfeng's response surprised everyone.
Some even doubted the existence of monks.
Jian Qingfeng didn't take the forbidden weapon, the long spear, seriously at all!
With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible sword aura shattered the forbidden weapon, the long spear, into dust!
It not only shattered the forbidden artifact directly, but also prevented it from exerting any of its power.
The way he acted so nonchalantly was like he'd casually swatted a fly.
