Chapter 88: Martial Arts World Turmoil

"I didn't expect there to be so many divine skills and unique arts in the world, and they are Grandmaster, or even Shattered-level unique arts." "Even the four great aristocratic clans don't have them!"

"Cut! How long have the four great aristocratic clans risen? Look at the sects behind those divine arts; which one hasn't existed for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years? How deep is their foundation?"

The martial arts world was completely stirred up by a ranking list, like adding oil to fire, instantly igniting the entire martial arts world.

Martial arts, especially divine skills and unique arts, were a temptation that no martial arts person could refuse.

The entire martial arts world was discussing it.

"But is the Demonic Sect so powerful? That 'Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Art' ranked third is only a supreme martial art in the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy.' Then how formidable is the complete 'Heavenly Demon Strategy'?"

"I didn't expect that during the previous dynasty, the Demonic Sect actually produced so many stunning figures?"

"The Daoist sect isn't bad either. The 'Chang Sheng Jue' and 'Yellow Heaven Great Art' are both unique arts of the Daoist sect, and Sun En of the Daoist sect was a god-like figure."

Su Fan's ranking list of unique arts also briefly mentioned the deeds and martial arts realms of those senior experts behind these unique arts.

As a result, the entire martial arts world knew that in the previous dynasty, so many Grandmaster-level experts appeared, and even quite a few Shattered-level ones.

But in this dynasty, there was only one Daoist Grandmaster, and the Demonic Sect didn't even have a single Grandmaster.

As for the Buddhist sect, it was even worse.

This time, the ranking list only had the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" of the Buddhist sect on the list, and even Cihang Jingzhai's "Cihang Sword Manual" didn't make the ranking list.

Those close to the Buddhist sect were naturally a bit unhappy, but the ranking list also mentioned that behind every martial art were famous existences.

And they were traceable, which left the Buddhist sect with nothing to say.

The reputation of the Demonic Sect instantly soared. After all, the martial arts of the Demonic Sect were so powerful. If one could join the Demonic Sect, wouldn't one be able to learn these martial arts?

There were also some martial arts experts who began to covet the Demonic Sect.

Everyone understood the principle of "harboring a jade ring becomes a crime."

Among the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect, the Yin Gui Sect and the Flower Interstices Sect were fearless. The Evil King and the Yin Queen were both top Grandmasters. Even if a Grandmaster came, they would at most injure them; wanting to suppress them would be very difficult.

Who dared to have designs on them?

But other paths were different. Their martial arts were all unique arts from the "Heavenly Demon Strategy." Even if they couldn't compare to the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Art," they were definitely not bad, comparable to the existence of the Yin Gui Sect's "Heavenly Demon Great Art."

How could they not be coveted by those super first-class experts in the martial arts world? Many super first-class martial arts experts wanted to break through to Grandmaster, but they had no way. Without a deep inheritance, relying on their own step-by-step walking, if they could obtain a Grandmaster-level cultivation method, it would definitely be a great help for them to break through to Grandmaster.

The Demonic Sect had many cultivation methods.

Such as the True Transmission Dao and the Heavenly Lotus Sect—their Sect Leaders' strength wasn't strong, just super first-class, and they didn't belong to the top ones.

Many people were having designs on them, and even the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Gui Sect was looking for them.

Especially the Evil Extreme Dao; this was the sect of Xiang Yutian, and now those few were all disciples of Xiang Yutian.

In the divine skills and unique arts ranking list, the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Art" detailedly introduced this Xiang Yutian, a super fierce man who lived for two hundred years. The ranking list didn't give a conclusion as to whether Xiang Yutian was still alive or had shattered the void.

However, regardless, everyone in the martial arts world was clear that the Evil Extreme Dao definitely had the inheritance left by Xiang Yutian.

That was a Shattered-level unique art.

Zhu Yuyan immediately mobilized all the disciples of the sect to search for the Evil Extreme Dao.

They were very clear that the ranking list was definitely not wrong. As the Yin Gui Sect of the same Demonic Path, they naturally had records of seniors like Xiang Yutian, as well as Mu Qingliu and Mo Yiming.

It was just that the sect didn't have records of their strength, only some of their contributions to the Demonic Sect.

They hadn't expected that these seniors were so powerful, each at least a Grandmaster, and even Shattered-level figures.

How could it not make Zhu Yuyan and the others shocked? It seemed their Yin Gui Sect had never produced such figures.

They recognized this ranking list even more than the martial arts people, so the Yin Gui Sect was also the fastest to take action.

Even Wanwan, who had originally prepared to head to Wu Commandery to find Su Fan, stopped. After all, supreme unique arts were more important.

How could a toy compare to the sect's supreme unique art?

The "Heavenly Demon Strategy"—they of the Yin Gui Sect naturally knew it. The sect's supreme unique art, the "Heavenly Demon Great Art," was only one volume of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy."

All along, they had thought that the other volumes of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" had long been lost. They hadn't expected that others had been left behind, and they were actually among the six paths of their Demonic Sect.

The martial arts world fell into turmoil, and the Yin Gui Sect mobilized entirely to search for the Evil Extreme Dao.

Other forces didn't want to fall behind, especially the righteous path's Cihang Jingzhai. All along, Cihang Jingzhai and the Yin Gui Sect, and even the six paths of the Demonic Sect, were mortal enemies.

Seeing their old enemy obtain divine skills and unique arts, if they suddenly broke through, then for Cihang Jingzhai, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Although they had an external aid, Ning Daoqi, they couldn't just let Ning Daoqi take action all the time.

They had quite a few Buddhist and Daoist experts. On the surface, there were as many as five Grandmaster-level ones, but the Demonic Sect didn't have few either.

Especially the Yin Queen and the Evil King—those were figures who had no equal.

Just one Evil King made the Buddhist sect have a headache. In those years, the four great Grandmaster holy monks of the Buddhist sect joined forces, yet they couldn't take down the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

It was also thanks to Cihang Jingzhai's backstabbing that the Evil King went into demonic deviation; otherwise, with the Evil King's talent, I'm afraid he would have broken through to Grandmaster long ago.

At that time, he would have unified the six paths of the Demonic Sect, and I'm afraid the Buddhist sect would have been in danger.

Now, the Yin Gui Sect was acting decisively, and Cihang Jingzhai was also having a headache. They must destroy it, or at least not let those unique arts fall into the hands of the Yin Gui Sect.

Especially the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Art"—the introduction on the ranking list showed that this martial art was extremely terrifying.

Once practiced, I'm afraid that even Ning Daoqi, this Daoist Grandmaster, wouldn't be a match. After all, Ning Daoqi's martial arts really weren't any profound unique arts.

The Demonic Sect and the Buddhist sect were taking action.

The Daoist sect also couldn't hold back. The "Chang Sheng Jue" and "Yellow Heaven Great Art"—these two unique arts also made many Daoist sect disciples yearn for them.

In these years, the Daoist sect had always been a joke, because Ning Daoqi, a Daoist Grandmaster, had become a thug for the Buddhist sect.

Many martial arts people were secretly mocking the Daoist sect for having no one.

How could the Daoist sect not be angry?

It was just that the Daoist sect had declined a lot in these years. The northern Daoist sect was squeezed by the prosperity of the Buddhist sect during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The southern Daoist sect was suppressed by the government because of the Heavenly Master Sun En, so the current Daoist sect was truly very awkward. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
