Jiang Chi, who rushed over from outside the courtyard, happened to see this scene. He was startled and thought to himself, This Xiao Chen is becoming more and more unfathomable.
Xiao Chen had noticed Jiang Chi long ago. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked over. "First Elder, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Chi recovered his wits and smiled. "Yes, let me tell you about the Kunlun Realm first. This time, the top twenty of the True Dragon Ranking are all qualified to enter the upper realm. After cultivating for half a year, they can follow the envoy to the Kunlun Realm. "
A contemplative look appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes as he muttered to himself, There is only half a year. I wonder if I can break through to Martial Monarch?
Although Xiao Chen's cultivation was only a step away from peak Consummation half-step Martial Monarch, he felt that it was still very far away. His Essence did not feel like it was reaching a bottleneck.
Jiang Chi took out a few more things and said, "This is the True Dragon Ranking List. You can take a look. The remaining ones are the invitations of the ten great sects. Aside from the Evil Moon Pavilion, the other nine great sects have been requesting to meet you."
In the past three days, there had been an endless stream of people seeking to meet Xiao Chen. Aside from the invitations of the ten great sects, Jiang Chi rejected all the others. If Jiang Chi wanted to meet everyone, Xiao Chen would not be able to rest in peace.
As for the Evil Moon Pavilion, there was too much enmity between them and Xiao Chen. Even though Xiao Chen was a King Grade True Dragon genius, he could not lower himself to meet the Evil Moon Pavilion.
However, Xiao Chen did not care about this. He first held the True Dragon Ranking List in his hand and looked at the invitations of the other great sects. Xiao Chen was not in a rush to receive them. After thinking for a while, he accepted the invitation of the Haotian Sect. He had no desire to look at the invitations of the other great sects.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had made his choice, Jiang Chi did not linger any longer. He took his leave after saying goodbye.
The True Dragon Ranking List had golden borders. The main body was scarlet, and the words "True Dragon Ranking" were written on the front.
Xiao Chen opened it and took a look. There were not many words on the first page, only a drawing.
The background of the drawing was the deep night sky. A white-robed person stood in the air. This was Xiao Chen himself. A thirty-meter-long Golden Dragon hovered above his head.
The painter's skill was very high. He managed to vividly portray Xiao Chen's king's aura at that time. The atmosphere was rendered to perfection. It was obvious that the entire painting was meticulously crafted.
The artist was very skilled. He managed to bring out Xiao Chen's King 'very well. The atmosphere was very perfect.
Xiao Chen, the champion of this Five Nation Youth Competition, a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Qingyun Peak. He became famous in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion with one battle, defeating the disciples of the Holy Lands and the Noble Clans of the Great Qin Nation by himself.
Xiao Chen had not lost to anyone of Had Xiao Xiao Chen's Chi, had had had had, had not lost.
Since the start of the elimination rounds of this Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen had won all the way, never tasting defeat. Be it sect geniuses or Noble Clan scions, he defeated them all.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and continued reading. Needless to say, the second rank was Chu Chaoyun. So, he skipped to the third rank.
The third rank was somewhat strange. It was held by Xuanyuan Zhantian and Sima Lingxuan. The two of them had only lost three matches in the ranking matches. Hence, they had the same number of points.
However, this was not too surprising. There had been similar cases in the past Five Nation Youth Competitions. Aside from the champion, the other rankings were all the same.
As for the previous runner-up, Bai Qi, he only obtained the fifth rank. Close behind him were the Haotian Sect's Yue Chenxi, seventh and eighth, Wang Quan, and Li Tianhua.
Gong Yangyu and Liu Xiaoyun were the most interesting. Their rankings were the same as the previous Five Nation Youth Competition, ninth and tenth respectively.
Xiao Chen carefully looked at the top ten rankings. The eight Noble Clans' monopoly on the top eight had been broken this time.
Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun were the biggest dark horses. The two of them were from small sects in the Great Qin Nation. However, they had been in the limelight in the competition, taking first and second place.
After the top ten, the name list only had four people on it. It did not have the same treatment as the top ten.
Even so, when the cultivators from the various corners of the Tianwu Continent spread the name list, the cultivators with their names on it would gain some fame.
In the future, they would most likely become the First Elder of a sect or a hero. This small name list recorded all the people who could do anything in the Tianwu Continent in the future.
For example, Murong Chong. His name was ranked eighty-seventh. If he was willing, the position of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Jiang Chi would definitely be his.
After memorizing the names of Bai, Kim Tae-ho, and the others, Xiao Chen put away the name list. Then, he focused his gaze on the Haotian Sect's name list.
Xiao Chen could roughly guess why the ten great sects of the Great Jin Nation came to look for him. The ten great sects of the Great Jin Nation were called super sects.
One of the main reasons was that these sects still had their main sect in the Kunlun Realm. The Tianwu Continent was just a branch of their main sect, used to gather geniuses and expand the strength of their main sect.
Back when Xiao Chen was on the island in the Western Shallow Sea, the Supreme Elder of the Haotian Sect had already extended an invitation to Xiao Chen, giving him a small Haotian medallion.
However, Xiao Chen had not been in a rush to pick a side back then. Hence, he did not immediately agree.
Now, Xiao Chen's strength had been thoroughly verified. He was a King Grade True Dragon genius. If they could send Xiao Chen to the main sect of the Haotian Sect in the Kunlun Realm, it would undoubtedly strengthen the Haotian Sect.
The branch of the Haotian Sect in the Tianwu Continent would also gain many benefits. The Sect Master and Elders would also receive many benefits.
"Xiao Chen, if you go, just agree to the other party. If Sang Mu had a strong backer back then, he would not have ended up like that, "Ao Jiao said softly from the Lunar Shadow Saber. Her tone was filled with helplessness.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned. He asked, "Who exactly did the Thunder King offend in the past?"
Ao Jiao shook her head slightly and said, "You don't have to care about this. You are not strong enough. Knowing will not do you any good. In the Kunlun Realm, no matter how talented you are or how extraordinary your Luck is, it is best not to be a lone ranger.
"I don't know about the other sects, but the Haotian Sect has already become one of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families, second only to the Three Holy Masters three thousand years ago. It is definitely not an ordinary small sect."
After carefully considering Ao Jiao's words, Xiao Chen made a decision. He grasped the name card in his hand and said, "In that case, let's go and take a look first."
After the True Dragon Ranking List was released, Dragon Sealing City would close its gates the next day. The next time it would open for guests would be three years later.
On the last night of Xiao Chen's stay in Dragon Sealing City, it was even livelier than usual. The streets and alleys were filled with people in groups of three to five, touring the countless historical sites in the city.
After putting on a black cloak, Xiao Chen slowly walked through the crowd. Occasionally, he heard discussions about the True Dragon Ranking List.
His name was mentioned time and time again in an admiring tone. All sorts of praises rang out.
Under the hood, the shadow of Xiao Chen's face was hidden. He withdrew his aura. No one knew that the person they were talking about had just passed by them.
When Xiao Chen arrived at Ignorant About Tea, he stopped for nine steps. The interior of the tea house was brightly lit. There was an endless stream of people going in and out.
The hall on the first floor did not have many rules. The people who came here were not true tea drinkers. As they drank, they did not stop talking at all.
"Participants from two small nations obtained first and second place at the same time. Tsk tsk, this is probably the first time in the history of the Five Nation Youth Competition."
"It is indeed the first time. The Great Chu Nation is indeed a nation with an expert like the Thunder King. After five thousand years, a King Grade True Dragon has appeared in the Great Qin Nation again."
"Ha ha, the elders of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion will probably be grinning from ear to ear. The rise of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is already predictable."
"That's right. Just based on Xiao Chen's name, who knows how many bladesmen will be attracted to join? The bladesmen of the other nations will probably fight to join as well, to see if they can catch up to Xiao Chen's Luck."
The most discussed topic in the hall was the same as the one on the street. It was still the True Dragon Ranking List. Furthermore, it was much more lively here.
"Sir, are you here to drink some tea? Unfortunately, we are already full. How about you go over there and wait for a while?"
The moment Xiao Chen appeared at the entrance, an enthusiastic waiter walked over with a smile on his face.
After handing over the Haotian Sect's name card, Xiao Chen said calmly, "I already have an appointment. Lead the way."
The waiter received the name card. When he saw the inscription and the contents of the name card, he immediately knew who Xiao Chen was. He revealed an extremely shocked expression; he could not recover his wits for a long time.
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "The name card says that we will meet tonight. Could it be that the Haotian Sect's people have already left?"
The waiter reacted and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He quickly said, "No, no. Please follow me."
Under the waiter's lead, Xiao Chen arrived at a booth on the top floor. Then, he casually pushed the door open and entered.
A fragrance wafted in the elegant booth. Yue Chenxi and an old man in his seventies sat at the table, quietly drinking tea.
That old man wore simple linen clothes. His long hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyebrows were white. However, his eyes sparkled with a divine light; he did not look old at all.
Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to check the other party's cultivation. He could not help but feel slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, the other party was just an ordinary person who did not practice martial arts.
Returning to one's natural state, this was a peak Martial Sage expert. Ordinary Martial Sages could not compare to him.
"You are here. Have a seat." The old man had noticed Xiao Chen's arrival long ago. However, he took a leisurely sip of tea before turning his head to greet Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen removed his cloak and sat across from the old man. Yue Chenxi leaned over and whispered, "Xiao Chen, this is the Sect Master of our Haotian Sect. For the sake of meeting you, he ended his closed-door cultivation early."
A strange look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. A peak Martial Sage was willing to give up his closed-door cultivation to meet him. The Haotian Sect was very sincere.
"Many thanks, Senior, for taking the time out of your busy schedule." The other party was very strong and could easily crush Xiao Chen to death with one finger.
He spent a lot of time comprehending the Great Dao. Given his limited lifespan, he had to cultivate bitterly at all times, hoping to reach the peak of cultivation. To them, time was extremely precious. They were definitely worthy of Xiao Chen's words.
The hemp-robed old man's deep eyes flickered with an intelligent light. He smiled gently and said, "Little Friend, don't overthink. Since you already rejected the invitations of the other sects, my Haotian Sect naturally has to give you the highest reception."
