green climbing up the steps and arriving at the top of the spirit peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, my name is Bai Suxi; may I ask if Senior Brother Meng lives here, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>――\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two huge figures fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, raising rolling dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Meng, sending us here is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Guang waved at the figure in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing stood on the huge profound gold sword qi and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Redacted]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could fly through the air with the help of the sword art, true qi was after all not comparable to true essence, and the consumption was too great; he couldn't fly like this for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who told him that his true qi quantity was simply too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could he support himself, but he could also support these two big guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it hadn't been without interruption over the past three days; there had been several rests in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was a fork in the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further ahead, they would have to 'split into three paths'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two Junior Brothers, then I wish you both an early ascent to the Hidden Dragon Ranking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these two, he didn't have any worries at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Meng, you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withdrawing his gaze, Meng Zhangqing immediately flew

since he had flown in the sky, he loved the feeling of overlooking the earth too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this kind of violent impact from falling from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Guang turned and walked to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers also began to 'part ways'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>――\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light streaked across the sky above many mountains, leaving only afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing sat cross-legged on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he was holding the map and observing it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Dragon Ranking of each major continent only had one hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was divided into two layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top thirty were in the Creation Realm, and the bottom seventy were in the Sea Opening Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The age limit was thirty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The origin of the Hidden Dragon Ranking had to start from the mysterious Central Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is rumored that thousands of years ago, in order to ensure the order of the cultivation world and the distribution of resources, the supreme holy land of the Central Continent established a strict sect grading system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, aristocratic families, dynasties, etc., were also included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All promotions of powers and resource acquisition had to be strictly in accordance with this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could overstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Dragon Ranking, the Earth Ranking, and the Heaven Ranking were the criteria for measurement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Dragon Ranking represented the future potential of a power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking were the current strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it could prove that your power was strong enough, and had potential, and was qualified to obtain the ruling power of this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you could only be downgraded, and the territory would be given to stronger powers in the surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even disbanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sect previously had twenty-five disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, which was considered to be one-fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But losing six at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a heavy loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it must be taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would affect the overall situation of the sect in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu family of Dongming Lake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing put away the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongming Lake was located at the border between the Profound Heaven Sect’s territory and the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Xu family was an affiliated family of the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every generation of family disciples would basically have people join the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current eldest son of the Xu family was named Xu You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-grade root bone, superior comprehension, and was a direct disciple of the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea Opening Realm Seventh Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He practiced the \"Violent Sun Universe Palm\", an early Earth-grade martial art unique to the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said to have reached the Great Accomplishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was among those who had snatched the Profound Heaven Sect’s Hidden Dragon position some time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently ranked eighty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such an opponent seems a bit weak, but it’s not bad to pick a soft persimmon to squeeze first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing’s mouth curled up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he thought of another thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Redacted]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was traveling with the Shi brothers, he learned from them that they had both been taken in by the old peak master of Purple Essence Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And had become personal disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is no one asking about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing rubbed his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he wanted to be anyone’s disciple; with the system, the best way was to make friends, and there was no need to take a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just felt that this phenomenon was a bit abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the potential he had shown was no lower than the Shi brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, thinking too much is useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing shook his head slightly, accelerated, and sped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>――\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongming Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A lake stretching for nearly a hundred miles, surrounded by rolling mountains, like a natural barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already many islands in the lake, some large, some small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like stars falling here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like pearls falling on a jade plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery could be said to be excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Xu family was located in the very center of Dongming Lake, which was also the place where the islands were most dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, many luxurious long boats were sailing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sect’s opening of the Hidden Dragon Battle had long been announced to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people wanted to come and join in the fun, and also wanted to see what kind of strength the young talents on the Hidden Dragon Ranking possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Hidden Dragon Battle started, the disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking could only stay where they were and could not leave for a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a rule set by the four major powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Hidden Dragon Battle referred to this kind of large-scale one; the usual individual ones were not included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Hidden Dragon Battle wasn't something that could be opened just because one wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required meeting many conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory had a total of thirty-nine islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was already crowded with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were those from the clan, but more were outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were waiting for the Profound Heaven Sect disciples to come and challenge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Profound Heaven Sect is also quite vengeful; they just had six disciples beaten down a few months ago, and now they are coming to take revenge immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, generally speaking, they would have to be silent for about two or three years before opening it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know? You haven't heard the latest gossip, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What gossip? Tell us quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd immediately focused their attention and urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard people say that both the Profound Heaven Sect and the Flaming Sun Valley want to be promoted to first-grade sects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds of gasping for air kept ringing out, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promotion to a first-grade sect... this was a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering event!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Heavenly Spirit Continent, although the four major powers were ranked as the strongest, in terms of grade, they were only second-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to be promoted to first-grade, the difficulty was not just ordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone the Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had to occupy at least one-third!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the minimum standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the Hidden Dragon Battle is opened so frequently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said excitedly, \"But no matter who succeeds, our Heavenly Spirit Continent will have a first-grade sect, and we won't be weaker than other continents!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these people, it didn't matter who won or lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the final meaning was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the noise and bustle outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Xu family, it was quite quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spacious hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four people were sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu family head Xu Mingyang, eldest son Xu You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two were not from the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they also had significant status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master of the Moon-Slashing Villa, Cui Feiting, and his son, Cui Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all the Profound Heaven Sect’s fault; I can only wrong Brother Cui to stay in our Dongming Lake for a period of time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are too modest; it’s quite good here, saving us from returning to the villa and having to set up a ring for that Profound Heaven Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Feiting picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and didn't care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation of the Moon-Slashing Villa was about the same as the Xu family; they were both powers in the Flaming Sun Valley’s territory, and naturally loyal to the Flaming Sun Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his son, Cui Qian, was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, he had defeated a Profound Heaven Sect disciple and was now ranked thirty-eighth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ranking could be said to be very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it could be seen that Cui Qian’s strength was much, much stronger than Xu You’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their faces were very young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty-four or twenty-five years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sect, they were also good fellow disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two families had actually had a good relationship for a hundred years, which had continued to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Profound Heaven Sect actually wants to be promoted to a first-grade sect; it is truly wishful thinking.
