Thousands of miles away in the center of Xuanwu Sect, there are many ancient towers.
These ancient pagodas are made entirely of precious jade and are quite spectacular.
Each ancient white jade pagoda is surrounded by a circle of red walls, with simple names engraved on the walls.
The burning red lanterns illuminate the entire ancient pagoda as brightly as daylight, making people feel solemn and solemn.
Most of these ancient towers are five or six feet high. On the top of each tower, a copper bell hangs in the center.
When the breeze blows, it will emit crisp and melodious bells.
Each ancient pagoda gives people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
The tower body emits crystal light, like a sun, but it is not dazzling, but has a gentle smell.
This is the important place of the sect and the place where the sect’s beliefs gather.
The people who can leave their names here are all the proud and powerful people since the sect was founded.
And now, in this glorious place, all the sect disciples who have returned alive are gathered together.
As early as a few days ago, the sect began to summon disciples who were away from home to return.
Today is the day when the rankings of the military merit list are announced. Only the 100 people with the highest military merit are qualified to leave their names here.
At this moment, every disciple who had experienced war had a look of perseverance on their face.
Everyone is waiting quietly.
In this island war, who can reach the top and stand out from the crowd?
Jiang Chen also arrived here early, and his whereabouts were relatively low-key.
In addition, he deliberately restrained his aura and was not known to his disciples.
In this war, Jiang Chen's reputation was astronomical.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being strong.
When he returned to the sect, he would be visited by sect elders or other disciples every day.
There were also many bold female disciples who said they wanted to be Jiang Chen's Taoist companions, which caused a lot of trouble to Jiang Chen.
He simply announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion, and then he stopped for a while.
Today he received the call from the sect and came here to listen to the seal.
Only those who are in the top ten are eligible to receive the title.
"I wonder what the ranking is?" Jiang Chen pondered, then found a corner and waited silently.
He is not very gregarious to begin with, and he deliberately restrains his aura.
He is no different from ordinary disciples, so naturally no one pays much attention to him.
In the central area of Tallinn, there is a stone tablet with a height of 100 feet.
This stele shows a dark golden color, like gold, but it also has a jade texture, emitting a soft light.
All the disciples above the True Yuan Realm monks gathered here, their eyes focused on this stone tablet.
I saw names branded on this pale gold stone tablet.
Every name shines brightly, like the scorching sun, making it difficult to look directly at them.
This stone tablet records the ranking of points gained from killing enemies in this island battle.
The 100-foot stone tablets are engraved with a simple name almost one foot apart.
"On the war merit monument, only the hundred people with the most war merits are eligible to be branded."
"The top ninety have been announced, and only the top ten have not yet been announced!"
Many disciples lamented that if they could imprint their names, they would be cultivated by the sect.
For them, this is a great blessing.
If you enter the top 100, you will be able to obtain a large amount of spiritual crystals, and the speed of your practice will be greatly increased.
"The war merit monument has another name in the sect, and that is the potential list. The higher the ranking, the greater the potential, which is worthy of the sect's vigorous cultivation."
"The top ten will also represent the sect and go to the Holy Land of God's Night to participate in the ranking battle!"
"Those are the three major holy lands. Being able to enter the holy lands is also a great blessing. There are countless powerful people leaving their mark on the great path in the Holy Land of God's Night."
"If we have the opportunity to understand the imprint of the great road, it will definitely be of great benefit to our practice!"
The Three Holy Lands are mammoth existences that tower over the seventy-two sects, and are the most powerful force under the Nine Yang Supreme Force.
Even if the seventy-two sects unite, they cannot fight against the three holy places.
The sect ranking competition every thousand years is also a grand event established by the three holy places, and all sects that meet the conditions must participate.
Throughout the long history, there have been many powerful forces that disobeyed the rules set by the three holy places.
But they were all exterminated by the three holy places, and even their bloodline could not be passed down.
This seventy-two sect ranking battle is more like a game to the three holy lands.
Other sects can only choose to abide by the rules of the game, otherwise they will be exterminated.
As time came to noon, the 100-foot stone tablet in the center roared at this moment, gradually blooming with golden light.
This scene caused everyone present to open their eyes wide.
Golden light suddenly struck, and countless disciples raised their heads, expressions of anticipation and excitement.
At the same time, a name slowly appeared on the stone tablet, and an indifferent voice echoed in everyone's ears!
"Tenth place on the battle merit list, Xuan Song."
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Xuan Song. Although Senior Brother Xuan Song is not the strongest among the peak masters, it is said that during this war, he touched the boundaries of the way of the earth and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds."
There is no distinction between high and low for each Tao, but unique changes will be derived from the different understandings of the monks themselves.
Just like what Xuan Song originally comprehended was the Tao of the Five Elements of Earth, and this Tao of Earth was his direction. As his insights deepened, the Tao of Earth evolved toward a stronger avenue.
Xuan Song was also standing in the corner. When he heard the rankings announced above, his honest face couldn't help but smile.
However, this also caused many disciples to focus on Xuan Song, whose character was inherently timid.
At this moment, many people are watching, and they want to escape from here.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile.
Senior Brother Xuan Song is still as afraid of society as ever.
He and Lao Wang have completely opposite personalities. If it were Lao Wang in this situation, his tail would be raised to the sky.
"Ninth place, Hua Li."
"It turns out to be Fairy Hua Li. Although she is not the master of a peak, her cultivation is extremely powerful. Ranking ninth is enough to prove her power."
Someone exclaimed and stared at the corner not far away. Jiang Chen also looked at it.
It was a young girl with a long skirt like fire and a graceful figure.
The body, which is even more crystal clear than white snow, exudes a delicate fragrance, making everything around it filled with fragrant air.
It was a strange floral smell, and it smelled really good.
Her face could not be said to be peerless, but she had an aura of heroic demeanor.
This girl has a slender figure, bright and determined eyes, and a single ponytail tied high with a red embroidered hair ornament.
There is always an invisible sharp energy surrounding her body, and anyone who comes within three feet of her will feel a sense of being about to burst.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also noticed a hint of terrifying knife power on this woman.
This woman is not simple, far from the harmless person she seems on the surface.
"Eighth place, Chen Ze"
"Seventh place, Wang Teng!"
…
The rankings were announced one after another, causing everyone to exclaim. In fact, most of the powerful people were very low-key on weekdays.
I didn't expect that in this island war, everyone would use their full strength for the sake of being in the top ten.
"Fifth place, Bai Ye."
"Fairy Baiye has entered the top five!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were turned to the beautiful woman in the crowd.
Bai Ye was wearing a simple and elegant silk shirt, and the white clouds seemed to be slowly floating around her body. It was obvious at first glance that it was worth a lot of money.
Her slim and manageable waist was tied with a silver belt, which vividly outlined her graceful figure.
Her eyes are deep and quiet, like a pool of clear spring, which makes people dare not look directly.
Like a fairy who emerged from the earthly world, walking lightly in the world.
Bai Ye is very beautiful. Among the women Jiang Chen has seen, only Shangguan Feiyue's appearance can compare with her.
But Bai Ye has a cool and arrogant temperament about him, and his cultivation level is extremely high, which makes people feel awe, cold and inviolable.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Bai Ye's cultivation had improved a lot in just a short period of time.
"Fourth place, Jin Sheng."
Jiang Chen looked at the golden figure in the crowd, his eyes thoughtful.
Jin Sheng is very strong. Even though Jiang Chen's combat power now surpasses him, he still senses a cloud of confusion about Jin Sheng.
Old Man Tianxuan has extremely high vision, and those who can be accepted as his direct disciples must be exceptional.
Jin Sheng usually keeps a low profile and practices in seclusion all day long. Many of his disciples only hear his name but never see him.
As if aware of Jiang Chen's gaze, Jin Sheng nodded slightly towards Jiang Chen, who responded with a smile.
"The top three are next!"
"These three people are definitely the three strongest among the younger generation of the sect!"
All the disciples were eagerly waiting, all looking at the three vague names above.
Bai Ye's bright eyes seemed to be searching for something. When she spotted Jiang Chen in the corner, her beautiful eyes were filled with sparkles.
"He can definitely be in the top three!"
Bai Ye knows very well how terrifying Jiang Chen is, and he definitely has a place among the top three!
The moment the gold-plated characters appeared on the battle merit list, countless disciples froze slightly when they saw this.
Immediately afterwards, he looked horrified!
"Third place, Lin Xuan."
At this moment, a handsome young man wearing a long gown walked out of the crowd.
This man has a slender figure, extremely handsome appearance, and is surrounded by azure divine light.
"impossible!"
Lin Xuan's heart was extremely gloomy at this moment. At this moment, he seemed to have lost the grace of a genius, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
"Lin Xuan is recognized as the strongest peak master. With his powerful cultivation, he is ranked third. Did I hear you right?"
"It is rumored that Lin Xuan has already half-stepped into the supernatural realm. Ten years ago, he had the chance to enter the Taichu ruins and gained amazing fortunes. He is the strongest genius in the sect. Why is he only ranked third!"
"I want to see who the two people in front of Senior Brother Lin Xuan are!"
Lin Xuan was also staring at the battle merit list at this moment. He wanted to see who were those who surpassed him?
He was very unconvinced!
Subsequently, the battle merit list changed again, and the person ranked second began to be announced.
"Second place, Guyang!"
"Who is Guyang? How come I have never heard of this person?"
As soon as Guyang's name came out, everyone here except Jiang Chen looked confused.
When did the sect give birth to a genius named Guyang?
As soon as this name came out, a tall man slowly walked out of the crowd.
This man has a stern face, silver-white hair, and a pair of piercing eyes, like the sun, capable of melting everything in the world.
Every time this person breathes in, there are actually two qi of yin and yang rising and falling.
Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but focus his eyes on that man at this moment.
"It's interesting that he can actually make me feel a bit threatening. This person is not simple."
"It seems that I am undoubtedly at the top of the list, but I seem a bit arrogant."
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and then stopped paying attention.
He had seen a powerful man of the level of Holy Son Xuanyuan, and it was already difficult for ordinary geniuses to fall under Jiang Chen's eye.
No one knows the origin of Guyang, but no disciple dares to doubt the authenticity of the battle merit list.
"The Way of Yin and Yang!"
"This is the yin-yang treasure body!"
"This person possesses a treasured body of yin and yang, and is born with an affinity for the ways of yin and yang. As long as this person is not such a person, he will definitely be able to enter the realm of supernatural powers in the future!"
"He is definitely a monster hidden away by the sect!"
Lin Xuan clenched his fists. As a forbidden genius, he could naturally sense the terror of the young man in front of him.
The other top ten people also had extremely solemn expressions, this Guyang was terrifyingly strong.
"No such strong person can reach the top of the list. I am very curious about who is at the top of the list!"
This kind of strong man is only ranked second, so how terrifying is the first place?
Only Bai Ye's beautiful eyes were shining brightly at this moment, and the intense gaze made Jiang Chen frown a little.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads and looked at the top of the battle merit list.
There is a name that shines brightly, like a sun hanging high in the sky, emitting dazzling light and heat.
"First place, Jiang Chen!"
"Jiang Chen?"
The expressions of all the disciples changed drastically in an instant, and they could no longer remain calm.
Many people couldn't help but gasp, this was simply unimaginable.
"I remember that Peak Master Jiang just entered the sect not long ago. Why did he become the top of the list all of a sudden?"
"This is definitely a coincidence. This person has the same name as Peak Master Jiang. He is definitely another genius who has been hidden by the sect!"
Some disciples who had never seen Jiang Chen looked determined.
But there are also many people who have learned about the deeds on the island and are vaguely aware of Jiang Chen's amazing achievements during this period of time.
But even so, they were shocked in their hearts.
As Bai Ye, Xuan Song and others looked at Jiang Chen in the corner, other disciples here also turned their attention to the corner.
At this moment, the stone tablet of the war merit list was filled with golden light, and the dazzling light began to cover the top ten on the war merit list.
But when they saw the rich golden light on Jiang Chen's body, all the disciples' minds were roaring.
"It's really Peak Master Jiang!"
"I remember that Peak Master Jiang was originally a mining slave on Blackstone Island, but I never expected that he could reach such heights!"
"As expected of the person that Lord Tianxuan likes!"
"But he looks ordinary!" Some disciples whispered.
Gu Yang also frowned slightly, an astonishing silver light appeared in his eyes, which was a sign of extremely powerful pupils.
But he couldn't see anything on Jiang Chen, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary mortal.
This made Gu Yang's eyes become more and more solemn, and he often couldn't see through it, which meant that his level was not enough!
The person who can reach the top of the list will never be a simple person.
Jiang Chen's ability to reach the top of the battle merit list definitely has unparalleled luck and good fortune.
His combat prowess is unfathomable, comparable to the top geniuses in the Holy Land, and he has the appearance of becoming a king.
No one spoke, all the disciples looked at the ten strongest people representing the sect, with strong awe in their eyes.
clang!
At this moment, a bell rang, grand and distant, coming from the sky.
All ancient pagodas emit golden light, soft and solemn.
Everyone here was shocked, including the strongest young men like Jiang Chen.
The whole world seemed to be silent for a moment, everyone raised their heads, and a blazing color flashed in their eyes.
boom!
A blazing white holy light was like a sky pillar, and a tall figure appeared slowly above it.
Like the Haoyang, the rays of light are endless, and the powerful energy reaches straight into the nine heavens.
"Meet the sect master!"
Everyone bowed their heads to worship the powerful figure above!
Ye Zhenwu's slender figure stepped into the void, as if there were invisible stone steps under his feet.
He walked down slowly step by step, and everyone seemed to see a dazzling star descending on this world.
Everyone can't help but have a look of awe in their eyes.
Ye Zhenwu's eyes swept across those ten people, and stayed on Jiang Chen the longest.
He looked at the ten people in front of him and showed a satisfied smile.
