This statement was verified once again in the tavern.
"So what if he's a Dao Master?" The waiter glared at Old Dad and pointed at the tavern's lobby. "Count how many Dao Masters are in the lobby."
It was one thing to be despised by the guards, but even a waiter from a remote city was so arrogant. No matter how good Old Dad's temper was …
He held it in.
"Just take it as a lesson to the little brat …" Old Dad turned on his shameless mode again and said slowly to Xie Tian, "Did you learn it? If you want to pretend to be a grandson, you have to pretend to be an old man like me. "
Xie Tian nodded seriously and sat down with Old Dad. He carefully looked at the customers in the lobby.
He had to be careful because most of the people in the lobby were Perfected Persons and a small number were Dao Masters.
He also knew that the second floor of the tavern was also occupied by Dao Masters. However, these Dao Masters were of high status and had powerful forces behind them.
There were many people in the lobby, but it was not noisy. Xie Tian could vaguely feel that every table was wrapped in a layer of ripples. It was the various shielding methods used by the customers.
"Old Dad, can you hear me?"
Even when entering Yangxin Palace, Xie Tian first had to investigate the surroundings. He felt a little uneasy because he was in the tavern but could not say a word.
Old Dad held his wine cup and slowly sipped. His Heavenly Secret Eye flashed and he said lazily, "I can't hear you, but I can see you."
Xie Tian was slightly happy. "Look at their excited expressions. What are they talking about?"
"They're talking about you."
Old Dad waved his hand and produced a ripple that covered a radius of one zhang. He whispered, "The Wind Overflow World is not our destination. We'll rest here for a while and then we'll set off for the Heavenly Dao World."
"Heavenly Dao World?"
Xie Tian's heart trembled. Although he was very ignorant in front of the Three Thousand Realms, he knew that a world with the two words "Heavenly Dao" was definitely not to be underestimated.
"The Heavenly Dao World is ranked second among the Three Thousand Realms."
So that's how it is, Xie Tian suddenly understood.
However, his father added with a smile, "Ranked first is the Sorcerer Ancestor's Great World. However, after ancient times, the Sorcerer Ancestor's Great World disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one knows where it is in the void."
Xie Tian understood.
The Heavenly Law World was the number one world in the Three Thousand Realms!
In an instant, Xie Tian's heart began to race. In the Wind Overflow World, which was ranked at the bottom of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, he and his father did not even dare to offend a waiter. If they went to the Heavenly Law World, wouldn't they become ants at the mercy of others?
"Then, according to what father said, I will have to fight with the geniuses of the Three Thousand Worlds for the only thing that can save Xue Yan and the others …"
Thinking of this, Xie Tian felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Looks like you've more or less experienced it," his father said slowly when he saw Xie Tian's expression change.
Xie Tian was startled, and then he smiled bitterly. "Father, just tell me everything."
His father nodded, took another sip of spirit wine, and sighed. "Since ancient times, there has been a grand event in the Three Thousand Realms called the Three Thousand Combat Rankings. It changes every three thousand years, and all cultivators from the Three Thousand Realms can participate. After a series of trials and competitions, three thousand people will be selected to enter the rankings. These three thousand people are the strongest three thousand people in the Upper Realm."
"Upper Realm?" Xie Tian's pupils shrank.
His father ignored Xie Tian's doubts and continued. "These three thousand people are divided into three groups according to age. Those below the Divine Power Stage at the age of fifty are the first group, Dao Venerables under two hundred are the second group, and Lu Xian under five hundred are the third group."
"So that's how it is!"
Xie Tian suddenly understood, and then his hair stood on end.
Those who could reach the Divine Power Stage at the age of fifty were all top-notch geniuses in the Kingdom of the Nine States. For example, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Du Jian, but in the Three Thousand Realms, he only had the qualifications to participate in the Three Thousand Combat Rankings.
"The first group of the Three Thousand Combat Rankings allows Pill Tribulation Stage geniuses to participate, but before the official opening of the Combat Rankings, you need to go through various tests, and only those who pass can participate."
His father gave the answer. Xie Tian's brows were still tightly furrowed. "Father, I may be able to pass the test, but entering the Three Thousand Combat Rankings …"
"What are you thinking …" His father stared at Xie Tian speechlessly. "The first group of the Three Thousand Combat Rankings includes the youngest geniuses in the Three Thousand Realms, is that something you can enter?"
Xie Tian was stunned. "Then I …"
"Sigh, it seems that you haven't really understood the meaning of pretending to be a grandson …" His father shook his head and sighed. "Pretending to be a grandson is just a matter of face. In fact, you don't need to pretend. In front of the Three Thousand Combat Rankings, you are a grandson."
Xie Tian swallowed his saliva, and after a long while, he asked, "Then what is my goal?"
"Your task is very difficult …" His father fell into deep thought, and after imagining as much as he could how heaven-defying Xie Tian could be, he said, "Pass the test and enter the first group of one hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand?" Xie Tian could count clearly, so he was shocked by the number.
"Don't use Tianxin as a comparison. His talent may be in the top thousand, but his combat strength is lacking, not to mention that there are so many Divine-Realm experts," his father said calmly. "Also, don't underestimate these one hundred thousand."
Xie Tian had never underestimated anyone, so of course he wouldn't underestimate anyone. And how big was the Three Thousand Realms? How many people?
To put it simply, it was equivalent to selecting the most powerful Adepts from the Wind Overflow World. Would Xie Tian be able to obtain a place among these one hundred thousand people? He himself wasn't sure.
Still, he was puzzled. "Can I save Xue Yan and the others if I enter the top hundred thousand?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to …"
His father didn't even have the nerve to finish his sentence, so he coughed and said, "Enter the first group of one hundred thousand, and you will be rewarded by the Three Thousand Realms. Remember, don't ask for anything else, you must obtain the Xuanyuan Battle Tablet!"
"Xuanyuan Battle Tablet?" Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat.
"That's it!" His father's eyes were a little dazed at the mention of this item. "It's said to be precious, but the cultivator world looks down on it. It's said to be cheap, but no one is willing to exchange for it."
Xie Tian memorized these four words, and asked seriously, "Can the Xuanyuan Battle Tablet save Xue Yan and the others?"
"Definitely!"
Xie Tian understood.
That was because his father had never spoken so resolutely before!
"The Xuanyuan Battle Tablet is bad for cultivation, bad for luck, and only good for the military soul!"
His father's expression had never been so solemn. "As long as you can merge with the Xuanyuan Battle Tablet, the rank of your army soul will skyrocket. Once it reaches rank six, Xue Yan and the others will be safe for the rest of their lives!"
"I understand now." Xie Tian closed his right eye, and after a long time, he said calmly, "Pass the test of the Ranking of Three Thousand, enter the top one hundred thousand, and take …"
Before he finished speaking, an extremely mocking sneer pierced through the ripples that his father had cast and resounded in the great hall.
"Haha, you really dare to boast about anything …"
Tap, tap, tap …
Xie Tian turned his head and saw a young man, surrounded by Dao Masters and guarded by three Lu Xian, walking down the stairs of the tavern in a lazy manner.
Xie Tian's eyes narrowed. He recognized this group of people. They were the ones who had yelled at him and his father to get out of the way three days ago.
"It's just a Pill Tribulation. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror?"
The young man casually glanced at Xie Tian, too lazy to even smile. He walked toward the door of the tavern, muttering to himself, "You still want to pass the test and enter the top one hundred thousand of the Divine Powers Ranking? Haha …"
The young man and his group left the tavern. His words instantly drowned the tavern in laughter.
"Haha, I'm cramping up with laughter …"
"And he's at the fifth level of the Pill Tribulation …"
"The Ranking of Three Thousand Battles is held by his family, right? Haha!"
"This kid is indeed invincible in his shamelessness. I, Qin Shou, admit defeat …"
…
The two people in the center of the storm of ridicule were very calm.
Xie Tian was used to being calm. Since he came out of the Xie Family, he had been laughed at many times.
His father was also used to it, but he was used to being shameless.
His wretched eyes instantly turned into doting, and he looked at Xie Tian with reproach. It seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with his grandson's boasting, but he couldn't bear to reprimand him.
Who was not frivolous when they were young? It was just an ignorant teenager who talked big …
Under this kind of gaze, the mockery of the crowd gradually faded. Then, the two people paid the bill and walked out of the tavern.
"Father, this is a wonderful move. I'm impressed." Xie Tian praised from the bottom of his heart.
His father felt proud and said proudly, "Learn from me. Don't learn from Wu Shang. He only knows how to fight and kill. He doesn't get tired of killing, but I get tired of watching him."
Xie Tian smiled and followed his father to the teleportation portal to the Heavenly Dao World. However, his heart felt a little heavier because of the crowd's mockery.
He didn't mind being laughed at, but he felt a heavier pressure from this joke.
"Even entering the top 100,000 is an incomparably difficult thing to do …."
Thinking of Xue Yan and the others in the Million Mountains, Xie Tian felt a little heartache. He sighed and stepped into the teleportation portal.
"For them, I'll fight to the death!"
PS: First of all, I'd like to thank Sayiha for his tip. Let's not talk about whether the Evil Emperor's book is good or not. No matter how bad the book is, there are readers who like it. Fortunately, I've met 292 such people. This is recognition of Yuanzi's deviation from the Xuanhuan style, and Yuanzi is very touched.
However, when I deviated from the style, I also went too far. The results of the book are a joke to the editor, to Yuanzi, and to all the people who support Yuanzi. That's why there's a sigh at the end of the second volume.
However, as long as they can still afford to eat, and Yuanzi doesn't become diced meat, the Evil Emperor won't stop updating, and he won't make a shoddy book. That's all.
