In the Sword Bamboo Garden, the green bamboos were as straight as swords, pointing straight to the sky. The leaves were as long as the blade of a sword, and the edges were like the edge of a sword, shining with a cold luster.
The Sword Bamboo was a unique species. Its bamboo body was as hard as a Spirit Artifact, and the bamboo leaves were as tough as some Spirit Artifacts. Moreover, they were as sharp as swords. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could be regarded as divine weapons.
Of course, they were nothing to Transcendents.
There were a total of nine hundred and ninety Sword Bamboos growing in the Sword Bamboo Garden. The shorter ones were three meters tall, while the taller ones were ten meters tall. They stood in an orderly manner, creating a unique scenery. They constantly emitted an astonishingly sharp aura that prevented Foundation Establishment cultivators from approaching.
Today, the Sword Bamboo Garden was Chen Zong's temporary residence, located in the True Martial Giant City's City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Zong was invited by the True Martial City's City Lord to be a guest of the City Lord's Mansion.
With the True Martial City Lord inviting him like this, Chen Zong naturally wouldn't refuse his good intentions.
A figure walked out of the Sword Bamboo Garden and strode out. He walked out of the City Lord's Mansion through the side door and headed towards the True Martial Battle Tablet.
Today was the last day of the True Martial Battle Tablet challenges.
Also today, the True Martial Battle Tablet's overall ranking would be revealed. At that time, it would be clear who would be listed on it. Although he was already certain, seeing it with his own eyes was still different.
It was with this in mind that Chen Zong left the Sword Bamboo Garden and came to the True Martial Battle Tablet.
The last batch of challengers had finished their challenges.
Then, a golden light shone in all directions. The golden light was majestic and mighty, shooting straight into the sky as if it was going to pierce through the clouds.
On this golden light pillar, names appeared one by one. They were the original one thousand names on the overall ranking.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on it.
Immediately, the names on it began to change.
At the highest point, the dazzling golden light shone like the sun, as if endless mysteries were condensing. A name also appeared on it.
Chen Zong!
Seeing his name, Chen Zong smiled.
Everyone else was shocked.
"I already knew that Chen Zong could be ranked on the overall list, but why is his name ranked first?" Someone asked a question.
Since ancient times, names were usually arranged according to order. Other than the difference in color, there was no difference in strength between the same color.
Why was he ranked first?
There was no solution.
However, the City Lord of True Martial City knew the reason, and so did Chen Zong. Perhaps it had something to do with him passing through the True Martial Battle Tablet.
Chen Zong had learned that the previous forty people did not pass through the Zhenwu Battle Tablet. All of them stopped at the fourth round.
In other words, as long as he made it to the fourth round, he would be able to obtain a golden name.
New names appeared on the golden light one after another. As new names appeared, there were naturally names that were squeezed out and disappeared.
However, none of the names were as special as Chen Zong's. There seemed to be a layer of divine light flowing in the golden light, not even the other 40 golden names.
Very few people knew what this meant.
Chen Zong was not interested in the so-called powerhouses taking him as a disciple.
Of course, there were powerhouses who wanted to take Chen Zong as their disciple. Unfortunately, Chen Zong was not tempted at all.
Even powerhouses like the five Dao Masters of White Cloud Mountain thought that they were not qualified to teach Chen Zong. What qualifications did some Mastery Saint Rudiment Realm cultivators have to teach him?
The grand event of the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, which was held once every ten years, came to an end. Many people dispersed and left the Zhen Wu Giant City. The news spread like a storm and spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Upper Region.
"A cultivator from the Sky Pillar Upper Province is ranked first on the overall True Martial Battle Tablet."
"Unbelievable."
The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was disbelief.
How could a genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Province be ranked first on the overall True Martial Battle Tablet?
However, the news was extremely accurate. Many people who went to the True Martial City to participate in the True Martial Battle Tablet confirmed it.
After many confirmations, even more people were shocked.
It was already shocking for a genius from the Sky Pillar Upper Province to be ranked first on the True Martial Battle Tablet, let alone the overall True Martial Battle Tablet.
It was incomprehensible!
It was unimaginable!
"Oh, first on the overall True Martial Battle Tablet? Did he pass the True Martial Battle Tablet?"
A group of supreme powerhouses from the True Martial Upper Province were shocked when they heard the news. They guessed that it was most likely true.
He was the first person to pass the True Martial Battle Tablet since ancient times.
Many powerhouses immediately sent messages to the True Martial City Governor. The True Martial City Governor knew the truth best.
…
In the depths of the True Martial Upper Province's High Martial Mountain, a terrifying aura suddenly soared into the sky before it returned to silence.
Then, a figure strangely appeared in the void as if he had walked out of thin air. His long black robe fluttered gently in the mountain wind.
"I've been in seclusion for 30 years. My injuries have finally healed." The black-robed old man's voice was indifferent. The surrounding wind suddenly stopped and dissipated. It was as if his surroundings had turned into a vacuum.
"It's been 30 years. It's time to go back." As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed old man turned into a black stream of light and left the depths of the High Martial Mountain at an astonishing speed. Along the way, he entered a city and heard the news.
"The True Martial Battle Tablet."
"Interesting. There's such a treasure in the small True Martial Upper Province."
"Challenging the True Martial Battle Tablet …"
The black-robed old man seemed to be thinking. His eyes gradually lit up and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Fine, I'll take a group of so-called geniuses back."
"In that case, I'll make the True Martial Upper Province boil again."
…
The news quickly swept across the True Martial Upper Province, which had just calmed down because of the True Martial Battle Tablet challenge, once again boiled over.
In three months, the True Martial Upper Province would hold the first True Martial Final Battle.
Anyone under the age of 100 with a cultivation base below the Saint Realm could sign up to participate. In the end, the top 100 geniuses would be selected.
The top 100 geniuses would receive generous rewards. They would even have the opportunity to leave the True Martial Upper Province and go to Tian Yuan Sacred Region.
When the news was released, it directly caused an uproar in the entire True Martial Upper Province. Many people went crazy.
Generous rewards were not that attractive. The real attraction was Tian Yuan Sacred Region.
Tian Yuan Sacred Region was supreme and was the cultivation holy land in the hearts of countless people.
It could be said that although Tian Yuan Sacred Region was part of the Lingwu Sacred World, it was separated from the Four Upper Provinces and the other Middle and Lower Provinces. It was as if they were two different worlds.
If Tian Yuan Sacred Region was compared to a huge city, the Four Upper Provinces and the other provinces were like remote places.
Every genius wanted to go to Tian Yuan Sacred Region to cultivate better and meet more geniuses and powerhouses.
Unfortunately, the road to Tianyuan Sacred Region was sealed.
In other words, without special conditions, it was impossible to enter Tian Yuan Sacred Region. Even if one could reach the periphery of Tian Yuan Sacred Region, it was difficult to enter.
Now, if one could participate in the True Martial Final Battle and enter the top 100, they would be qualified to enter Tian Yuan Sacred Region. It was too exciting.
No one knew how to enter Tian Yuan Sacred Region, but since the news was released, there should be a way.
"Little friend, this is a great opportunity," the True Martial City Governor said with a smile.
"Indeed." Chen Zong's face was also filled with excitement.
Tian Yuan Sacred Region!
Chen Zong naturally wanted to go, but after asking the Five Path Masters, it was very difficult. Without special conditions, it was very difficult to enter. It depended on one's luck.
In other words, entering Tian Yuan Sacred Region was an opportunity.
"Senior, why is it so similar this time?" Chen Zong could not help but ask.
"As far as I know, an expert from Tian Yuan Sacred Region is returning to Tian Yuan Sacred Region. He plans to bring a group of geniuses into Tian Yuan Sacred Region to join his Sect," the True Martial City Governor said with a smile.
"I see." Chen Zong suddenly understood.
This explanation was reasonable.
After all, if a Sect wanted to continue to pass on, it had to keep recruiting disciples, especially geniuses.
Therefore, if he brought a group of the most outstanding geniuses back to Tian Yuan Sacred Region to join his Sect, he would be able to further enrich his Sect.
"With little friend's ability, you will definitely be in the top 100," the True Martial City Governor said with a smile. After this period of contact, he more or less understood Chen Zong's strength.
The first place on the True Martial Battle Tablet's overall ranking represented talent and potential, not absolute strength. However, Chen Zong's strength was not weak either. Ordinary Low-Level Saint Grades were no match for him, and he could even contend with ordinary Mid-Level Saint Grades.
The conditions to participate in this True Martial Decisive Battle were that one had not reached the Saint Realm, and the other was that one had to be under 100 years old.
There were not many Half-Saints under 100 years old. Most of them were Low-Level Saint Grades, and a few were Mid-Level Saint Grades. There were even fewer who had reached High-Level Saint Grades.
Therefore, with Chen Zong's strength, it was quite possible for him to be in the top 100.
Of course, the True Martial City Governor also felt that Chen Zong would at most be in the top 100, and his ranking would not be too high.
However, as long as he could get into the top 100, he would be able to go to Tianyuan Sacred Region. With his extraordinary talent and potential, and with the training of the Sect of Tianyuan Sacred Region, he would soon grow up and surpass others, becoming even stronger.
For a moment, the entire True Martial Upper Region was in an uproar.
"Tianyuan Sacred Region, I must get into the top 100." A tall figure suddenly stood up, bursting with an extremely shocking aura. It was as if an ancient giant beast had awakened, and shot straight into the sky. His eyes shone with an extremely shocking light.
"Top 100, Tianyuan Sacred Region, I'm coming." A figure instantly rushed out of the mountain forest and swept across the sky.
Three months!
After three months, the True Martial Decisive Battle would begin to determine the top 100.
The location of the decisive battle would be in Divine Martial Giant City.
Divine Martial Giant City was one of the three giant cities in the True Martial Upper Region. Although it did not have as long a history as True Martial Giant City, its comprehensive strength was the most powerful.
It was reasonable for the Divine Martial Colossal City to be chosen as the location for the True Martial Ultimate Battle.
At this moment, the interior of Divine Martial Giant City was being remodeled and built specifically for the True Martial Decisive Battle.
Chen Zong also began to cultivate in seclusion.
