Chapter 610: Chapter 610 Preparing for the Martial Meeting_1

"If I so wished, getting first place would be no problem at all, so what’s the big deal about fourth place?"

Don’t forget, Ling Xiao’s Book of Seals still contains a Heavenly Lord sealed within.

No matter how powerful Ren Xing Tian was, he had yet to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, so Ling Xiao’s words were definitely not nonsensical ramblings.

However, the Book of Seals was a tool for preserving life in critical moments. If one relied on it too much, it wouldn’t be beneficial for the enhancement of one’s own strength.

That’s why Ling Xiao doesn’t use it lightly.

"Good, as long as you have confidence. But being a king within the Moon Hua Sect doesn’t mean much. Before the Four Sects Martial Competition, it was known as the Three Sects Martial Competition, mainly among the three major sects of the Sacred Dynasty’s eastern region—the Sword King Sect, Beast King Palace, and Moon Hua Sect—engaging in friendly competition. In past years, the Moon Hua Sect has always been at the bottom."

Moon Lady sighed and said, "You may not understand the strength of the Sword King Sect and Beast King Palace, but you must not underestimate them. Within our sect, if the top ten core disciples were to compete, probably only Ren Xing Tian would count as someone of note; the rest really wouldn’t stand a chance."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Ling Xiao secretly stuck out his tongue.

He had killed quite a few disciples from the Sword King Sect, and even wiped out a disciple of the Beast King Palace in public, but he hadn’t felt those people were particularly formidable.

Even Wang She, one of the Beast King Palace’s top ten core disciples, had been dealt with by him, and Moon Lady was aware of this too.

"With the Moon Hua Sect being so weak, why hasn’t it been wiped out?"

Ling Xiao casually asked.

"In the end, the other eleven sects still dread the Moon Hua Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, Guardian Beasts, and Sect Protection Treasure."

Moon Lady said, "If it weren’t for these, the Moon Hua Sect really might have faced annihilation."

"They don’t know about Sister Moon Lady’s existence, do they? If they did, I’m afraid no one would dare to provoke us."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"That’s true. I’ve hardly shown my face outside, and it’s only the last time I helped you kill an Inner Sect Elder from the Beast King Palace. Before that, nobody knew I existed, and even if they did, they had no idea about my strength."

Moon Lady nodded.

"Sister Moon Lady, how are the rankings among the sects determined? They always say the Twelve Sects belong to the Great Sects, and the other sects are considered small sects. How is this distinction made?"

Ling Xiao asked with genuine interest.

"Great Sect? Well, on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, they count as Great Sects, but in the entire Mysterious World, the twelve sects are barely noteworthy."

Moon Lady said helplessly, "The Heavenly Dragon Continent has suffered too much in terms of power loss, particularly the long interruption of the Martial Soul lineages, which has led to a significant weakening of the strength of the Twelve Sects. But now that the Mountain and River Martial Soul has re-emerged, and Martial Souls are increasingly manifesting and rising, the return of the Heavenly Dragon Continent to strength is only a matter of time."

"To think it’s considered insignificant!"

Ling Xiao couldn’t help feeling a bit bitter, realizing that the Moon Hua Sect he had strived so hard to enter was insignificant within the Mysterious World. That was quite a tragic truth.

"Exactly. Let me explain it to you this way: the entire Mysterious World is divided into the Three Teachings and Nine Ranks! There are in total ten levels of power!"

"Isn’t it twelve?"

"The Three Teachings are considered to be of the same level, and they are the strongest three powers that control the Mysterious World. But they are all legendary, and whether they truly exist is something no one knows now, as the leaders of the Three Teachings are beings even older than the King of People."

Moon Lady explained, "Generally speaking, the Nine Ranks are acknowledged to be nine different levels, with the first rank being the strongest and the ninth rank the weakest."

"So not even being part of the Nine Ranks means you’re insignificant?"

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"Correct!"

Moon Lady nodded and said, "Of course, this is purely a misunderstanding, because according to this classification, a sect with more than ten Heavenly Realm Martial Artists and at least two Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists qualifies as a ninth-rank power. Our Moon Hua Sect actually meets the criteria. Of course, this is a recent change; previously, Chang Yueli and Wu Xiang didn’t have Martial Souls and couldn’t be considered Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists."

"So that’s how it is, I suppose the other eleven sects could also be considered third-rate sects then?"

Ling Xiao pondered.

"That should be the case. That martial artist who obtained the Mountain and River Martial Soul must have fused with its spirit soul and bloodline, causing such a great upheaval. It’s as if he truly saved the Heavenly Dragon Continent."

The Moon Lady said with a smile.

Ling Xiao secretly chuckled, not expecting that the changes within him had actually affected the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent, which ought to be counted as quite a merit.

"During the Four Sects Tournament, which sect is the fourth one?"

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"It’s the recently risen Divine Sword Sect. They were nominated by various smaller sects, and they received full support from the Northern Han Kingdom."

The Moon Lady replied.

"Ah?"

Ling Xiao almost bit his own tongue.

He hadn’t expected that the Divine Sword Sect, which was established less than a year ago, had already garnered the right to participate in the tournament alongside the Twelve Sects.

That was his own sect.

Perfect, after leaving this place, he would return to the Divine Sword Sect and settle the Land of Dragons there. With the addition of young members of the Dragon Clan like Joshua Long, the strength of the Divine Sword Sect was bound to advance further.

Perhaps in the upcoming Four Sects Tournament, they would surprise everyone.

Ling Xiao also wished to seize this opportunity to venture out and see just how powerful the disciples of the Beast King Palace and Sword King Sect really were!

"Don’t be negligent. Although the Four Sects Tournament is merely a competition between four sects, it is still filled with talented and extraordinary individuals! If you’re even slightly careless, you might make a fool of yourself and ’capsize in the drainage ditch.’"

Seeing that Ling Xiao wasn’t completely focused on the conversation, the Moon Lady reminded him.

"Oh?"

Ling Xiao showed a look of delight. The presence of strong competitors made things interesting. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be much point in going to the Four Sects Tournament.

"Sigh, you really don’t seem to take it seriously. Let me tell you something. Not to mention anybody else, but the Beast King Palace recently produced an exceptional genius! His name is Ying Wu Ya. Originally, he was just ninth among the top ten core disciples, but through a trial similar to the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, he has inherited the Martial Soul of the ancient Golden Winged Dapeng and has received many other benefits as well."

The Moon Lady continued, "Now, he is the second-ranked individual among the core disciples of the Beast King Palace, and it is said that this is only because he has not fully mastered the inheritance of the Golden Winged Dapeng Martial Soul."

"That formidable!"

Ling Xiao had met Ying Wu Ya before. This person was good at concealing his strength, and his talent was extremely outstanding, possessing a Godly Treasure Body just like Ming Tian, but he was obviously even luckier.

"Do you now feel that you can’t be complacent?"

The Moon Lady asked.

"Hehe, Sister Moon, don’t scare me. How much time is there until the Four Sects Tournament?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Two months!"

"Then that’s easy." Ling Xiao nodded, "In two months, I can mostly absorb and transform what I’ve gained from the Moon Blossom Pagoda. By then, I really do plan to have a good meeting with Ying Wu Ya."

Back in Plague Valley, he had made a promise with Ying Wu Ya, and he had said that he would go looking for him.

He couldn’t possibly be seen as a coward, right?
