Chapter 1044: Three Emperors and one Buddha make the list, the ceiling of the current martial Dao is revealed!

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan and, without waiting for the discussion to end, continued:

"Next, let us comment on the remaining second-tier Martial Saints on the list."

"Eighth place on the Martial Saint Ranking: Mohe Ye."

"Regarding this Martial Saint, all you fellow Jianghu travelers should already be very familiar with him."

"This person is a descendant of the Tianzhu Buddhist sect, practicing one of the nine great divine-demonic techniques in the world, the Buddha Emperor's absolute art *Tathagata Palm*; his cultivation has also reached the peak level of the Martial Saint realm."

"It can be said that he is the undisputed number one person in the Buddhist sect today."

"But his temperament is too gloomy and cunning, inconsistent with the profound artistic conception of the *Tathagata Palm*, making it difficult for him to have any further breakthroughs."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he is tentatively ranked eighth on the Nine Provinces Martial Saint Ranking."

…………

"Seventh place on the Martial Saint Ranking: Zhu Yuanzhang / Zhao Kuangyin."

"Regarding these two powerhouses, I have already commented on them before."

"Zhu Yuanzhang practices one of the nine great divine-demonic techniques, the God Emperor's absolute art *Ming Divine Martial Canon*, and his martial Dao attainments reach the heavens and the earth."

"Zhao Kuangyin practices one of the nine great divine-demonic techniques, the Immortal Emperor's absolute art *Pre-natal Universe Skill*, which is boundless in its immortal Dao, peeking into the mysteries of the universe."

"Although the cultivation of both is also at the peak of the Martial Saint realm, they are still a notch better than Mohe Ye."

"Currently, both are inside the Taiji Mysterious Coffin, their power steadily increasing; the day they leave the coffin will be the time they prove the quasi-Emperor Dao."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, they are tentatively ranked together in seventh place on the Nine Provinces Martial Saint Ranking."

…………

"Sixth place on the Martial Saint Ranking: Wu Zetian."

"Among all the Martial Saints announced so far, Wu Zetian is the youngest, only forty-something years old to this day."

"But she is the one with the highest cultivation among all the Martial Saints exposed, even surpassing Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin by a notch."

"Previously, when I commented on her, I already said that Wu Zetian's background is extremely extraordinary; she is the daughter of the Zhaoyang Heavenly Master and Lingji, the daughter of Mohe Ye."

"The Zhaoyang Heavenly Master was originally a member of the Daoist sect, but was later possessed by the Heavenly Demon's evil energy and turned to the demonic path."

"And Lingji inherited the Buddhist Dao fortune of Mohe Ye and was a natural-born Buddhist daughter."

"Therefore, Wu Zetian gathered the fortune of both the demonic and Buddhist sects, and since childhood, her body has been improved by the Heavenly Demon's evil energy; her aptitude has long surpassed the scope of ordinary people."

"Even if placed in the ancient era, her aptitude would definitely be extraordinary, and breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm would be easy."

"But limited by the lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, Wu Zetian's cultivation progress is not fast, and to this day, she has only practiced to the level of the Great Perfection of the Martial Saint realm."
