It was the beginning of January again.
Anshan City, Jiuyuan Sect.
"Sect Leader, the new Earth Leaderboard is out …"
A disciple rushed into Jiuyuan Sect, his voice filled with indescribable emotions.
"So what if the Earth Leaderboard is out? Also, don't call me Sect Leader, I've already abdicated … "
The Jiuyuan Sect Leader was used to being beaten down over the years, so he did not have much ambition. Instead, he had the mentality of a commoner living his life behind closed doors.
It could also be said that Chung Shen-soo had abused him into an old salted fish.
He sipped his tea and said nonchalantly, "Tell me, what happened?"
"It's Yin Yang Hand Xun Liu Yi. In the latest issue, he was promoted to 33rd place on the Earth Leaderboard, and his title has been changed to 'Heaven Covering Hand'!"
Even though the disciple said it out loud, he still felt very surprised.
"Pfft!"
The Jiuyuan Sect Leader also spat out a mouthful of tea, his face full of disbelief.
The Earth Leaderboard was different from the Mortal Leaderboard, and even if it was the Mortal Leaderboard, it was enough to shock the world if one rose dozens of places in one go.
"All martial artists are getting slower and slower in breaking through to the next level. This Heaven Covering Hand is really contrary to common sense …"
After a long time, the Jiuyuan Sect Leader finally calmed down and sighed, "Ask Han Nuo to speed up the preparations and marry Xiao Zi to the Shan Yao Gang. Increase the dowry by two … no, three times!"
Looking at the disciple who left, he muttered to himself, "Could it be … that there's a Heaven Leaderboard Grandmaster in such a small place?!"
…
Shan Yao Gang.
Chung Shen-soo could not be bothered with the outside world.
As for the Earth Leaderboard?
It was just a gesture of goodwill from the Divine Constable Sect, and it even made him very dissatisfied.
'Zhuge Wuliang has never seen the power of the real King of Ten Thousand Slaves. I estimate that it's at least at the level of the top 20 on the Earth Leaderboard. Since I can defeat him, my real combat power should be around the top 10 on the Earth Leaderboard?
'Unfortunately, it's useless if I don't break through to the Heaven Leaderboard … Even though the Divine Constable Sect Leader is ranked first on the Earth Leaderboard, he is limited by his martial arts, and will never break through in this life …
"Therefore, I am the first person in this year's Earth Ranking to break through to the Heaven Ranking …"
'Forget it. Being able to rank thirty-three and earning another wave of Tenxiu Point is much better than the previous world. At least I haven't seen a bottleneck yet …'
As for the Tenxiu Point, Chung Shen-soo had a new idea.
Originally, he thought that this system absorbed the shock and amazement of the people around him.
However, when he delved deeper into the Tenxiu System this time, he felt a little different.
'On the surface, it absorbs shock, emotions, and other beliefs, but inside, it might be something purer and deeper … such as the origin of every world?'
"Therefore, there is a limit to the 'income' in each world."
'This should have something to do with the strength of the world. In the world where the Second Empire is, a thousand points is but a drop in the bucket. Fleecing it won't cause too much of a reaction …'
"But in the previous world, it was already invaded, and the reaction of the world was very intense. It was fine to fleeced it a little, but once it crossed the boundary, it would be attacked?
"Similarly, the upper limit of this world is higher than the previous world, so I can get more Tenxiu Point?"
"Of course, this is based on my current strength. If one day, I can suppress a world with my own strength, I can take as much as I want …"
"The Tenxiu Point here is very precious. It's best to bring it back to the main world as a backup … I don't need to raise my Grandmaster cultivation level. Anyway, I can already feel that I'll reach the requirement soon."
…
As he pondered, he rubbed the space between his brows and looked outside.
Yan Wushuang had already floated over.
"Wushuang, how are your injuries?"
Zhong Shenxiu looked at half of Yan Wu Shuang's face. Yan Wu Shuang's ferocious appearance that was covered in blood had now disappeared without a trace. Her face was as clear as jade, sparkling in the sunlight.
Yan Wushuang seemed a little shy from being stared at. She lowered her head and blushed slightly. "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xun. I'm fine now."
That day, the one who was seriously injured was Zhuge Wuliang.
Moreover, because of Chung Shen-soo's attitude, the Divine Constable Sect now made Yan Wushuang the middleman.
Chung Shen-soo only expressed that he could not be used as cannon fodder. In reality, when faced with the threat of the Five Poison Sect, he did not dare to really fall out with the imperial court.
On the surface, both sides maintained a peaceful attitude.
In fact, they would even cooperate with each other in dealing with the Five Poison Sect.
"How's the situation with the Five Poison Sect recently?"
Chung Shen-soo got down to business.
"The imperial court has decided to reveal the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Technique and the Five Poison Sect's plan … Their actions have already incurred the wrath of the martial arts world. The imperial court is preparing to use this as a flag to contact the Stone Buddha Temple, the Six Void Sect, and other forces to launch an attack on the Five Poison Sect!"
Yan Wushuang answered solemnly.
"This is really … earth-shattering."
Chung Shen-soo mumbled to himself. Although this kind of method of training with people was indeed despicable and was despised by the martial arts world, there was nothing wrong with the Death Corpse Fist and the Five Element Thief Palm in the early stages.
However, there was nothing wrong with the Death Corpse Fist and the Five Elements Great Thief Palm in the early stages. To be honest, as long as one did not cultivate to the Grandmaster Realm, the Five Venoms Sect would not bother with them.
Instead, the dissemination of secret manuals gave many martial artists from poor backgrounds a chance to a certain extent.
The ones who were truly provoked were the other seven great forces.
Even the Evil Monarch Sect would probably happily wait for the Five Poison Sect to be destroyed and wait for an opportunity to snatch the secret manuals.
After all, they were people of the Demon Sect. It was only natural for them to forget morality and go back on their word.
"But … what is the imperial court's determination?" Chung Shen-soo asked the most important question.
It was one thing to slightly wipe out the Five Poison Sect's forces in the Great Wu Dynasty, but it was another thing to attack the Five Poison Sect's headquarters in the Miaojiang.
"This time, after the Ten Thousand Slaves King came to the Central Plains, the Five Poison Sect made a large scale attack on Lingnan. Even the Five Poison Sect's master, the Ten Thousand Human King, was mobilized. This caused the Southern Song Clan to react fiercely …" Yan Wushuang smiled.
"This time, the Song Clan of Lingnan will fully support the imperial court's action. Apart from that, the Six Void Sect has also agreed. At least the Stone Buddha Temple will not oppose it. The Langya Wang Clan and the Plain Sound Sword Sect are also neutral … Only the Evil Monarch Sect's attitude is unclear. Thus, the Divine Constable Sect is preparing to take this opportunity to attack the Five Poison Sect's headquarters. This time, an old priest of the imperial family will also take action …"
"An old priest of the imperial family is a Celestial Being Grandmaster? The imperial court is very determined … Is the Five Poison Sect going to be destroyed? "
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while and asked another question, "The Ten Thousand Slaves King? The Ten Thousand Human King? The names of the Five Poison Sect's Holy Son and Sect Master are very strange … Also, the imperial court's attitude towards the Five Poison Sect is somewhat fierce. "
"Of course, because the Five Poison Sect was originally built by a group of remnants of the Shang Dynasty. When the Great Wu Dynasty rose and destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty were exterminated. However, a portion of the Shang Dynasty's nobles and remnant citizens escaped the Great Wu Dynasty's territory and formed a stronghold at the southern border to protect themselves. This is the origin of the Five Poison Sect … Moreover, the first Sect Master of the Five Poison Sect was a King of the Shang Dynasty with a different surname.
