It had been nearly two months since he entered the Barbarian Race's territory. During this time, Xiao Chen had challenged Zhou Meng and Wang Lushan. His ranking on the Saint Rankings had also risen from 79th to 52nd.
However, after continuously challenging Zhou Meng and Wang Lushan, Xiao Chen no longer had a suitable target among the ten Barbarian Race Holy Sons. They were either too strong or too weak.
Xiao Chen did not intend to challenge the powerful Barbarian Race Holy Sons because the gap between them was too great. The weakest one was ranked in the top 30. If he challenged them at this time, Xiao Chen would be purely looking for a beating.
As for the weaker Holy Sons, their rankings on the Saint Rankings were not as good as Xiao Chen's. Thus, there was no point in challenging them.
There were no Barbarian Race Holy Sons who were close to Xiao Chen in terms of ranking and strength. Therefore, Xiao Chen planned to fight in the Divine Race's territory. Of course, before that, Xiao Chen also planned to train in the Barbarian Race's territory.
After all, the goal of this training trip was to raise his ranking on the Saint Rankings. However, raising his own strength could not be ignored. After all, if his own strength did not increase, then how could Xiao Chen challenge the Holy Sons who were ranked higher on the Saint Rankings?
The Barbarian Race's territory was larger than the Human Race's territory. There were also some famous training grounds. However, Xiao Chen did not go to any of the Barbarian Race's territory. On the contrary, Xiao Chen seemed to be aimlessly training in the Barbarian Race's territory. Wherever he went, he would go.
Along the way from the Power King Pavilion, Xiao Chen passed by one Barbarian town and tribe after another. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
During this month, the Saint Rankings had undergone earth-shaking changes. Many old Holy Sons were kicked out of the Saint Rankings, and many new faces stepped onto the Saint Rankings.
Among these new faces were Chen Ling, Long Qing, Tian Yue, and Chen Yu. When he saw their names appear one after another on the Saint Leaderboard, a smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
Actually, Chen Ling and the others had the qualifications to ascend the Hallowed Rankings since a long time ago. Unfortunately, the four of them didn't seem to be interested in it. The reason they were able to ascend the Hallowed Rankings this time was probably because the four of them had coincidentally defeated a Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings.
Of course, the four of them were not the only new Saints on the Saint Rankings. It was the same for people from other races. Almost every race had new faces on the Saint Rankings.
That was how the Holy Rankings worked. Everything depended on one's strength. If one's strength was not up to par, even if one was a veteran Son of the Holy Rankings, it was very likely that one would be kicked out of the Holy Rankings. Only the capable would be able to take the top spot. This was the purpose of the Will Of The Heavenly Way's Holy Rankings.
All in all, in just over a month's time, the Holy Rankings had undergone a huge change. This was probably the result of the integration of the four major Astral Realms and the Central World.
Of course, the biggest changes were the Saints who were ranked at the bottom of the Holy Rankings. For example, Xiao Chen was currently ranked 52nd. The Saints on the Holy Rankings during this period didn't change much.
After all, it was impossible for the new Saints on the Holy Rankings to be ranked in the 50s right from the start.
As for the Big Dipper Saints who were ranked in the top 36, they weren't affected at all. After all, the Big Dipper Saint's strength was already significantly different from the Earth Emanations Saint's. The new Saints on the Holy Rankings wouldn't be a threat to them.
The changes on the Holy Rankings had indeed caused quite a stir. However, after feeling happy for Chen Ling and the others in the beginning, Xiao Chen soon stopped paying attention to the changes on the Holy Rankings.
After all, no matter how the Holy Rankings changed, what Xiao Chen needed to do now was to continuously increase his strength and become a Big Dipper Saint as soon as possible.
The names on the Holy Rankings continued to change every day. From time to time, a screen of the Holy Rankings would appear in the sky. However, Xiao Chen didn't care about this at all.
During this period of time, Xiao Chen entered the largest mountain range in the Barbarian Race's territory.
Xiao Chen planned to cross this mountain range. After all, as long as he passed through this mountain range, Xiao Chen would be able to enter the Sky Race's territory.
It was called the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range. The Sky Barbaric Mountain Range was the dividing line between the Sky Race and the Barbarian Race's territory.
It was said that there were many precious Spirit Herbs and Spirit Fruits in the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range. Therefore, although the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range was huge, it wasn't actually desolate. One could encounter Barbarian Race and Sky Race martialists from time to time.
Martialists from both races liked to enter the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range. Firstly, it was for power. Secondly, it was to try their luck and see if they could find some precious Spirit Herbs and Spirit Fruits.
They had been traveling in the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range for about ten days. Since leaving the Power King Pavilion, Xiao Chen had been cultivating in the Barbarian Race's territory for three months. It had been about half a year since he left the Human Race's territory.
Half a year seemed very short, but Xiao Chen's progress was undoubtedly huge. Not only had his cultivation improved, but Xiao Chen had also made great progress in other aspects.
During these three months, Xiao Chen had experienced many battles. There were fights with some Barbarian Race's bandits and disputes with some Barbarian Race's tribes. In general, Xiao Chen had spent most of these three months cultivating and fighting.
After all, he was in the Barbarian Race's territory. Although the Barbarian Race did not hate the Human Race, as a human wandering alone in the Barbarian Race's territory, the Barbarian Race's forces would not show any mercy. Therefore, battles were inevitable.
It was in such constant battles that Xiao Chen's strength improved every day. Cultivation, Martial Skills, and so on were all improving.
Xiao Chen had already practiced the Scorching Sun Swordsmanship and the Absolute Yin Footwork, the two mid-level Saint level martial arts techniques that Yin Yangzi had given him, to perfection. Their power had increased several times over. As for the Moye Sword Hair, Xiao Chen had practiced it to perfection. At this time, Xiao Chen had already begun to practice the eighth finger of the Nine-heaven Sword Finger, the Red Cloud Sword Finger.
At night, in the silent Sky Barbaric Mountain Range, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a branch of a big tree. He was breathing evenly as he cultivated.
However, in this quiet night, a faint sound of fighting was suddenly heard. It was obvious that there were people fighting in the surroundings.
Feeling this, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. Originally, this kind of fighting was not rare in the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range. After all, there were not only the Barbarian Race in the Sky Barbaric Mountain Range, but also the Tian Race. It was very common for warriors of the two races to fight over some precious Spiritual Grass and Spiritual Fruit.
However, Xiao Chen sensed that there should be a large number of people fighting between the two sides. There should be at least a few hundred people. With such a large scale fight, the things they found would not be simple.
