Long Yang wasn't surprised by Xiao Chen's confusion and replied frankly. Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen asked helplessly, "Brother Long Yang, what do you mean by this?"
Long Yang knew that Hua Wushuang had such a personality, yet he still tricked Xiao Chen into coming to the Hundred Flowers Manor. Could it be that he really wanted Xiao Chen to fight with Hua Wushuang?
Staring at Long Yang, Long Yang seemed to be defeated by Xiao Chen's stare. He smiled as if he had lost count. "Alright, alright, alright. Brother Xiao Chen, you don't have to look at me like that. I'll tell you."
Long Yang definitely had his reasons for doing so, and Xiao Chen wanted a reason. Soon after, the group of people sat down in the hall of the courtyard, including Qin Shuirou and the other two ladies.
Once everyone was seated, Long Yang spoke bluntly.
"The world only knows that there will always be 108 spots on the Saint Rankings. Once a new Saint is promoted, the person ranked at the bottom will naturally be eliminated."
"However, very few people know that the 108 positions on the Saint Ranking aren't just a simple number. They represent the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends."
"Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends. There are exactly 108 of them, and the Chosen on the Saint Ranking just so happens to represent these Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. Therefore, the biggest difference on the Saint Ranking is actually not the ranking of the person, but the division of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends."
"Let's put it this way. The top 36 people on the Saint Ranking represent the 36 Heavenly Spirits. The gap between them and the remaining Chosen on the Saint Ranking, who represent the 72 Earthly Fiends, is huge. Of course, if you can surpass the 36 Heavenly Spirits, you will naturally obtain unexpected benefits."
"What I want to tell Brother Xiao Chen today is to become one of the 36 Heavenly Spirits on the Saint Ranking as soon as possible. This is extremely meaningful to Brother Xiao Chen."
The number 108 on the Saint Ranking was not a random number. It represented the 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Fiends. According to Long Yang, every Saint on the Saint Ranking corresponded to a Heavenly Star and Earthly Fiend.
Just like Long Yang, he corresponded to the Knowledge Star of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits, and Feng Jue corresponded to the Majestic Star of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits. Just like Xuanyuan Baizhan corresponded to the Noble Star of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits.
As for Xiao Chen, she was currently ranked ninety-third, corresponding to the Prisoner Star of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends. As for that ranked seventy-ninth Hua Wushuang, she corresponded to the Speed Star of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends.
Long Yang's intention was very simple. He hoped that Xiao Chen could break away from the 72 Earthly Fiends as soon as possible and successfully become one of the 36 Heaven Stars. That way, Xiao Chen would be able to obtain a great opportunity.
He explained to Xiao Chen in detail about the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends on the Saint Ranking. These were all secrets that very few people knew about. Of course, for those who were not Saints on the Saint Ranking, these matters were not important, so naturally, no one would spread them out.
However, for ordinary cultivators, these matters were not important, but for Saints on the Saint Ranking, the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends were incomparably important. There were many things involved.
After stating his purpose, Long Yang did not tell Xiao Chen what benefits he could obtain after becoming one of the 36 Heavenly Spirits. Regarding this, Xiao Chen did not insist on getting to the bottom of it. In the end, he only asked one question.
"Then how much time do I have?"
"The shortest is two years, the most three years." Long Yang replied.
At most three years' time, Xiao Chen had to become one of the 36 Heavenly Spirits on the Saint Ranking. Otherwise, he could only miss out on this great opportunity.
Time was very tight. Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and helplessly. "In that case, I have to defeat Hua Wushuang this time."
"Hua Wushuang is not important. Brother Xiao Chen still has many people to challenge. The 36 Heavenly Spirits means that Brother Xiao Chen has to enter the top 36 of the Saint Ranking. After defeating Hua Wushuang, Brother Xiao Chen will have to defeat other opponents at the Human Race Hero Gathering. Furthermore, it's not just the Human Race. If you want to be one of the 36 Heavenly Spirits in three years' time, Brother Xiao Chen will have to go to the territories of other races and challenge their Saints on the Saint Ranking," Long Yang said indifferently.
It seemed like he had already chosen the most suitable challenge route for Xiao Chen. This was normal. After all, Long Yang's understanding of the Saints on the Saint Ranking was definitely better than Xiao Chen's. Having his help in choosing opponents was also a good thing for Xiao Chen.
As he learned more about the Saint Ranking, Xiao Chen became more and more curious. What was the purpose of the Heavenly Way's Saint Ranking? Was it just to create a ranking for the younger generation in the Central World?
It probably wasn't as simple as that. If that was the case, why did they have to create the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends? Moreover, if it was just to create a ranking for the younger generation, why didn't the Central World have other rankings?
For example, the Saint Ranking, the Quasi-Saint Ranking, the Great Saint Ranking, and so on. Unfortunately, there was no such ranking. There was only one Saint Ranking in the entire Central World. In that case, the Saint Ranking was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
However, this was still too far away for Xiao Chen right now. For the time being, Xiao Chen did not have to think about it. The most important thing for Xiao Chen right now was to become one of the thirty-six Heavenly Spirits as soon as possible.
After explaining to Xiao Chen about the Tiangang and Disha, Xiao Chen stayed in the Hundred Flowers Manor for the next few days. Every day, he accompanied Qin Shuirou and the other three girls to enjoy the flowers and play. At the same time, he quietly waited for news from Hua Wushuang.
In just three days, news of Hua Wushuang's battle with Xiao Chen spread from the Hundred Flowers Manor.
As soon as the news came out, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people. After all, this was a battle between the Saints of the Saint Ranking. Moreover, Xiao Chen had been in the limelight recently. It could be said that he was the most popular person among the younger generation of the human race.
Originally, they thought that Xiao Chen would remain silent for a period of time after killing Bai Qiuran. However, no one had expected that news of Xiao Chen's battle with Hua Wushuang would spread again after such a short period of time.
According to the Hundred Flowers Manor, the battle would begin in five days. It would be held in the Hundred Flowers Manor's martial arts field. Anyone could come and watch the battle.
Five days later, at the Hundred Flowers Manor, after the battle between Hua Wushuang and Xiao Chen, countless people rushed to the Hundred Flowers Manor from all directions. Those warriors who were closer to the Hundred Flowers Manor only took a day to arrive. For a moment, the entire Hundred Flowers Manor could be said to be filled with a sea of people. And this was only the beginning, there were more people on the way.
Xiao Chen had naturally heard about the commotion Hua Wushuang had caused. However, he was unable to stop her, so he simply allowed Hua Wushuang to spread the news herself.
