Pure Yang Shrine's Yin Xu Zi entered the ring and heavily injured and defeated Xu Gang, the Rising Sky Mansion's disciple, in just one move.
Xu Gang was different from an ordinary Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. In the Rising Sky Mansion's district, he was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Refined Saint Stage. In the Rising Sky Mansion's district, even those famous Martial and Dao Cultivators at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage did not dare to say they could defeat Xu Gang.
However, such a person was defeated in just a blink of an eye by Yin Xu Zi who seemed to be at the Early Refined Saint Stage.
At this moment, the other nine Ring Masters had a grave expression on their faces. Their eyes were filled with helplessness at the same time.
They knew very well that among the participants of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle this time, there were no less than twenty people at the Refined Saint Stage who were below the age of fifty who were participating in it.
Apart from the outstanding disciples from the Rising Sky Mansion and the other three fifth-rate forces, there were also many genius sectless cultivators from everywhere.
These sectless cultivators did not care about fame and fortune since it was just a fleeting moment. They would soon forget about it.
However, the Rising Sky Ranking Battle was different. Once one was listed in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, one was destined to be famous for eternity in the Rising Sky Mansion's district.
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation base had broken through the shackles of lifespan and lived as long as heaven and earth. Although most of them were able to live longer, they would eventually turn into a pile of dirt.
Due to this reason, most of the people in the Dao Martial Saint Land hoped to leave something behind in this world before they died.
In that case, they would not have lived in vain.
Due to this reason, in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle that was held once every fifty years in the Rising Sky Mansion's district, there would always be many genius sectless cultivators who had never been heard of before.
Naturally, although these sectless cultivators were outstanding, they were still slightly weaker compared to those from the major forces.
Perhaps, their innate talent was not inferior to the former, but the resources they enjoyed could not be compared to the former.
Due to this reason, it was normal for them to be inferior to the former.
"Yin Xu Zi is so strong!"
Everyone's eyes landed on Yin Xu Zi in unison. Shock could be seen on their faces.
In the past, although they knew there were three great prodigies in Pure Yang Shrine, Jing Xu Zi's existence had completely overshadowed the other two prodigies. Therefore, not many people paid attention to the other two prodigies.
At that moment, one of the two individuals, Yin Xu Zi, had proven his strength to the crowd.
"Although I've long heard of the Three Prodigies of Pure Yang in the past, I thought that the other two had only benefited from Jing Xu Zi. Now, it seems like Jing Xu Zi aside, they're worthy of the title as well."
Someone could not help but sigh.
His words also received the approval of many people.
"Among the Pure Yang Three Prodigies, apart from Jing Xu Zi and Yin Xu Zi, there's also Yu Xu Zi … There's no doubt about Jing Xu Zi's strength. Yin Xu Zi had also displayed his strength just now. To be able to stand on the same level as them, Yu Xuzi's strength is definitely not weak. "
More and more people said this.
Instantly, many people's gazes fell on the group of people from the Pure Yang Shrine.
When a few people's gazes landed on one of the young Taoist priests, the rest of them also shifted their gazes to him. "He's Yu Xu Zi?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was also looking at Yu Xu Zi.
Yu Xu Zi was a Taoist priest with a medium build and an ordinary appearance. He was not eye-catching at all when he stood among the group of people from the Pure Yang Shrine.
If one did not know him, perhaps one would think he was a young Taoist priest who had followed the group of people from the Pure Yang Shrine to join in the fun. It would not cross one's mind that he was one of the Three Prodigies of Pure Yang Shrine.
"This Yu Xu Zi is not simple as well."
Although Duan Lingtian had his own way of judging people, all he could see from Yu Xu Zi was an introvert.
It was precisely because of this that he felt Yu Xu Zi was unfathomable.
"Very good."
At this moment, Ren Zhong spoke up, "Even I've long heard of the Three Prodigies of Pure Yang. Now that I've seen it for myself, it's indeed true. Currently, there's already a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse among the ten great Ring Masters. This also means that the Rising Sky Ranking Battle has entered its climax and is nearing its end.
I'm looking forward to everyone's performance. "
It was obvious Ren Zhong's words were directed at the group of Refined Saint Stage powerhouses who had yet to make their moves in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
Perhaps Ren Zhong's words were effective, or perhaps they were influenced by Yin Xu Zi's strength, another person stepped out and arrived in front of one of the Ring Masters at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage in just a blink of an eye.
Just as he steadied himself, a vast amount of True Yuan gushed out from his body.
The aura of the True Origin spread out, causing the expression of the Ring Master at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage to change. "M-Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!"
The biggest difference between a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse and a Pristine Saint Stage powerhouse was the True Origin.
The True Origin of both of them was not on the same level at all.
The aura of the True Origin of both stages was different as well.
Due to this reason, the Ring Master at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage could tell the person who challenged him was a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse just by sensing the True Origin's aura.
"Who's he?"
"I've never seen him before."
"He should be a sectless cultivator … It's said that the Rising Sky Ranking Battle can produce a group of outstanding sectless cultivators. Looks like it's true."
"Refined Saint Stage … There's no suspense in this battle!"
…
The spectators shifted their gaze to the Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator. They felt there was no suspense in this battle at all.
As it turned out, their judgment was right.
Although the Ring Master at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage was quite strong, he was still slightly weaker compared to Xu Gang. He was defeated in just one blow by an Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator.
It was fortunate the other party had shown mercy. Otherwise, he would have died.
Although the Rising Sky Ranking Battle did not care about life and death, under the circumstances where there was a huge difference in strength, unless there was some enmity between them or the powerhouse was naturally ruthless, the stronger party would usually not kill the weaker party.
"Thank you for showing mercy."
The former Ring Master at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage who was lucky enough to survive expressed his gratitude to the current Ring Master who was also an Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator.
The latter nodded nonchalantly. The former was not angry at all. With the other party's strength, he could have completely ignored him. He had already shown him enough respect by responding to him.
Subsequently, another eight Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators entered the ring and occupied the remaining eight Ring Masters.
At this moment, the ten Ring Masters were all Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators.
Naturally, they were all Early Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators.
Among the ten Ring Masters, there were outstanding disciples from fifth-rate forces like Yin Xu Zi. However, there were also many sectless cultivators.
"Half of the ten Early Refined Saint Stage Ring Masters are sectless cultivators … I can't believe there are so many outstanding sectless cultivators hidden in our Rising Sky Mansion's district. If they were nurtured by a powerful force, their current achievements would've been even greater. "
Many people sighed emotionally.
"Hurmph! It's easy for you to say … Do you think everyone is willing to be a sectless cultivator? It's good to be a powerful force, but if you don't have a suitable backer, you won't be able to obtain anything. Which powerful force isn't controlled by those high-ranking officials? "
Some sectless cultivators said disdainfully.
The words of these sectless cultivators made many of them fall silent.
That was right.
Although one could join a force like the Rising Sky Mansion, Pure Yang Shrine, and Brahma Temple as long as one had sufficient innate talent, one would still need a backer to obtain resources.
Otherwise, one would be neglected or sacrificed in the open and covert fights.
Otherwise, why would there be so many sectless cultivators in the Dao Martial Saint Land?
Naturally, it was undeniable that some people became sectless cultivators because they wanted to be independent. However, there were more people who chose to become sectless cultivators because they were afraid of the deceit in the powerful forces.
"I can't believe there are so many Refined Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of fifty in the Rising Sky Mansion's district."
Duan Lingtian stood at the side with the Jasper Celestial Sword in his arms as he sighed emotionally.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian noticed another gaze on him. This time, the owner of the gaze was none other than the Flowery Monk from Brahma Temple.
However, although Duan Lingtian noticed his gaze, he did not look at him at all.
'From the beginning until the end, he's actually so calm. Don't tell me he's really a powerful sectless cultivator? Or perhaps, he's just here to join in the fun, and the reason he's so calm is because he's deliberately mystifying himself? '
The Flowery Monk thought to himself as he stared at Duan Lingtian intently.
Initially, when he saw Duan Lingtian came alone, and he could not see through Duan Lingtian, he instinctively felt Duan Lingtian was not as simple as he seemed.
However, he felt he was overthinking things.
However, earlier, Duan Lingtian's calmness in the face of the ten Refined Saint Stage powerhouses crushing the ten Ring Masters one after another made him realize Duan Lingtian might really not be as simple as he seemed.
Naturally, he could also be deliberately mystifying himself.
All in all, he felt he could not see through Duan Lingtian anymore.
The ten Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivators were the Ring Masters. Each of them stood in the middle of a huge chess piece. They were high-spirited like undefeatable gods of war as they looked around arrogantly.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, the sound of wind whistling reverberated in the air. It was none other than a person who swiftly flew out from the group of people from Brahma Temple.
It was a young monk with a face full of stubble. He had a pair of tiger-like eyebrows that gave off an awe-inspiring aura. His medium build gave off a valiant feeling.
"In Brahma Temple, there are only two Refined Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of fifty. One of them is the well-known Flowery Monk … Don't tell me this is the Wine and Meat Monk from Brahma Temple, the Flowery Monk's Senior Brother?"
When the young monk with a face full of stubble came out, someone could not help but exclaim softly.
The Wine and Meat Monk!
Upon hearing his words, many people's eyes lit up immediately.
"The Wine and Meat Monk? I've heard of him before … He's the Flowery Monk's Senior Brother. Before the Flowery Monk rose to prominence, he was the most outstanding genius Martial Cultivator among the middle-aged generation in Brahma Temple. He was only ranked second when the Flowery Monk appeared. "
