On the first page of the 《Earthly Ranking》.
"There are countless heroes in the Land of the Nine Prefectures."
"For example, in the Northern Prefectures of Youzhou and Yanzhou, the land of bitter cold, the Northeast King Hong Tian's 80,000 Armored Cavalry conquered more than half of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. In the Northwest Yongzhou, the Qinling Mountains gave birth to a peerless figure like the Heavenly Emperor of Qinling, Ying Zheng. Back then, the Heavenly Emperor of Qinling cut off the flow of the Yanjiang River, which was a hundred Zhang wide river. This was passed down by countless people, and he became the second great hero in history to unite the Land of the Nine Prefectures besides Emperor Yu! In the center of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Yuzhou gave birth to the greatest hero since the creation of the world, Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu split the mountain with five axes, divided the nine prefectures, and built the nine cauldrons. He became the first emperor in history and set up the capital in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is the land of kings and has many heroes … "
"However, in the past thousands of years, many heroes have become white bones. Even hundreds of years later, they have been forgotten by the younger generations of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Every time Martial Ancestor Jiang Jun of the Wan Xiang Sect thought of this, he would sigh. Then, the idea of compiling the 《Heavenly Ranking》 and the 《Earthly Ranking》 for the Land of the Nine Prefectures came into being. He used the power of the Wan Xiang Sect to travel the world and record the legends of heroes from all over the world. After the improvement of the later generations of the Wan Xiang Sect, the four rankings of the Land of the Nine Prefectures were created — 《Heavenly Ranking》, 《Earthly Ranking》, 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》, and 《Young Phoenix Ranking》. "
"The four rankings of the Land of the Nine Prefectures are compiled once every six months! They record the heroes from all over the Land of the Nine Prefectures. "
"The Wan Xiang Sect is determined to let all the heroes of the Land of the Nine Prefectures leave their names on the four rankings. Even thousands of years later, the younger generations will still know the legends of the older generations. "
When Teng Qingshan read this page, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
To many heroes, wealth and riches might not be attractive, but to be famous for thousands of years was something they dreamed of.
Teng Qingshan turned to the second page.
"Among the four rankings of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Hidden Dragon Ranking records the 108 most outstanding heroes of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. As for the Young Phoenix Ranking, it records the 108 most outstanding heroines in the Land of the Nine Prefectures who are under 30 years old. "
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up when he saw this.
In all of the Nine States, there were only 108 men and women, and each one of them was definitely a proud son of heaven.
"As for the 《Heavenly Ranking》 and 《Earthly Ranking》, they are the core of the Nine Provinces' Four Rankings. The cultivation realms are mainly divided into Acquired Realm and Innate Realm! As for the Innate Ranker, there was probably only one in ten million people. Therefore, almost all the heroes from all over the world were Postliminary Rankers. This 《Earth Ranking》 records the seventy-two most powerful Postliminary Realm experts! "
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up as he thought to himself, "The Terrestrial Ranking has no age limit. To be able to rank in the top seventy-two out of the billions of people in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, that is true strength. It is much more valuable than the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Young Phoenix Ranking. No one on the Earth Board can be underestimated. "
Teng Qingshan continued to watch.
"The Heavenly Ranking records thirty-six super experts who have reached the Xiantian Realm. Because the number of Innate Rankers is very small, the Heavenly Ranking changes very little every ten or twenty years. On the contrary, the Earthly Ranking is the most competitive. In the world, there are thousands of inner strength experts who have reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm, but only seventy-two are listed in the Earthly Ranking! Compared to the Earthly Ranking half a year ago, eleven of the seventy-two people on the Earthly Ranking have been removed and replaced by eleven other heroes. "
Teng Qingshan roughly read the description of the four lists.
Obviously …
The so-called 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》 and 《Young Phoenix Ranking》 were used to record the young talents and the favored ones. Although many people attached great importance to them, in comparison, people in the world paid more attention to the Heaven and Earth Ranking. However, there were too few Innate Rankers and the 《Heaven Ranking》 had not changed much. Therefore, the 《Earth Ranking》 had become the most competitive ranking.
Many heroes risked their lives just to leave their names on the Earthly Ranking.
"Some people are tempted by money, some are obsessed with beauties, but most heroes value 'fame' the most." Teng Qingshan sighed in his heart. He was about to flip through the book to see which seventy-two heroes were listed in the Earthly Ranking in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
"Qingshan." A voice suddenly sounded.
"Eh? Father! "Teng Qingshan woke up with a start.
"What are you looking at? You look so fascinated. "Teng Yongfan laughed.
Teng Qinghu, who was at the side, laughed and said, "Qingshan spent ten taels of silver to buy this Earthly Ranking book."
"You are really willing to spend money." Teng Yongfan did not blame Teng Qingshan. "We have bought everything. Let's go. Let's go to the alley and wait for the other clansmen. " Immediately, Teng Yongfan, Teng Qingshan, and Teng Qinghu left Wan Xiang Tower and arrived at the alley beside Wan Xiang Tower.
*****
There were obviously fewer people in the alley. The other clansmen had not arrived yet. Teng Qingshan leaned against the wall and continued to read the Earthly Ranking.
The 《Earth Ranking》 described the seventy-two heroes and also described some of the famous deeds of these heroes.
"As long as one is able to cultivate inner strength, he can reach the peak of the Postliminary Realm in ten years. But the inner strength is the same, but the difference in strength is like heaven and earth. " Looking at this book, Teng Qingshan sighed. According to the description of the Earthly Ranking, there were too many people who reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm.
But because of the different cultivation manuals, or the difference in personal comprehension, the difference in strength was too big.
For example, Teng Qingshan.
The strength of Teng Qingshan who had cultivated the 《Crossing Worlds》 and the strength of those who had not cultivated the 《Crossing Worlds》 were two completely different levels. At this time, the inner strength cultivation manuals played a big role.
There was also personal comprehension.
Teng Qingshan had comprehended the two great spear arts, 'Pursuing Shadow' and 'Transmutation Unity Law'. Even if he only had the strength of a thousand Jin, he could easily kill over a hundred wild wolves with a single spear. As for Teng Qinghu, who also had the strength of a thousand Jin, he still needed Teng Yonglei and Teng Qingshan to help him when facing the attack of the wolf pack.
The amount of inner strength was only a foundation.
The method of application and personal comprehension were also very important. This was also the reason why all kinds of secret manuals would lead to massacres.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the story of the person ranked 58 on the Earthly Ranking.
"When Yang Fan was 48 years old, he chased after the infamous four Hong brothers for three days and three nights. After chasing them for over a thousand miles, three of the four Hong brothers died, leaving only Hong Si. Hong Si fled back to his hometown, Yi City, and established the White Horse Gang. However, for twenty years, Hong Si did not dare to seek revenge on Yang Fan. When Yang Fan was 52 years old … … "
This was the story of Yang Fan, and it only slightly mentioned the person 'Hong Si'.
However, Teng Qingshan was surprised.
"The White Horse Gang's Master Hong Si actually has such a history." Teng Qingshan was surprised. The White Horse Gang could be said to be the local tyrant of Yi City. The White Horse Gang's Great Master, Master Hong Si, was absolutely a person of authority in Yi City. Who would have thought that this great person would also have such a difficult time.
"Father, look." Teng Qingshan smiled and handed the book to his father, "Look at this paragraph."
Teng Yongfan took the book with a puzzled look and read a paragraph. He said in surprise, "Master Hong Si actually has three older brothers. No wonder he is called Hong Si! However, who is this Yang Fan? He is actually so powerful. "While speaking, Teng Yongfan also flipped through the book from the beginning.
Teng Qingshan smiled bitterly.
He did not expect his father to also be fascinated, but he had already read more than half of the book.
"This Master Hong Si's strength should also be extremely powerful." Teng Qingshan deduced based on that incident, "To be able to be listed on the Earthly Ranking, it can be said that those who are at the peak of the postliminary realm can be ranked in the entire Nine Prefectures. That Yang Fan chased after the four Hong brothers for three days and three nights, but Master Hong Si still managed to escape. Master Hong Si's strength cannot be underestimated. Moreover … … the four Hong brothers were known as' extremely vicious'. Without a certain level of skill, it is impossible for them to receive such an evaluation. "
Merely being mentioned a few words in the 《Earthly Ranking》 meant that one's strength was extraordinary.
After all, if the four Hong brothers were not powerful, this incident would not have been recorded.
… …
While Teng Qingshan and the other two were waiting for the other clansmen. On the street, about ten Zhang away from Teng Qingshan and the others.
"Did you see that? It's those three hunters. "A man in black pointed in the direction of Teng Qingshan and the others and said in a low voice.
"I saw it. Brother Lang, you said that they have ten thousand taels of silver? "A lean man with triangular eyes said in surprise.
The man in black sneered, "Why would I lie to you? If it wasn't for the fact that you are from the same village as me, why would I tell you this news? This time, our Lord ordered weapons from them and just gave them ten thousand taels of silver. "
"Ten thousand taels … …" The eyes of the triangular eyed man lit up and then he laughed, "Brother Lang, don't worry. After our men kill them and rob the silver, you will definitely be rewarded. However, I don't understand. Your Lord gave them the silver, so why did he leak the news to us and let us rob them? "
The man in black sneered, "You don't understand. Our Lord is a person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance! This time, he did not intend to give the mountain people money. Who would have thought that the mountain people would make a fuss and even the Lord would come out. Our Lord had no choice but to give them money. However, with our Lord's personality, how could he swallow this anger? He doesn't dare to be angry with the Lord, his Eldest Martial Brother, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble for these mountain people. "
The triangular eyed man laughed, "Your Lord is really ruthless and vicious. However, we like it. Haha."
"Hmph, following this Lord, we, the little ones, can also get a lot of benefits. If the Lord didn't come out, I would have gotten at least a hundred taels of silver. "The man in black said.
"Don't worry, Brother Lang. If we really get ten thousand taels of silver, I, your brother, will give you more than a hundred taels of silver." The triangular eyed man said.
The man in black laughed.
"Hey, look, the other hunters are here. It seems that they are about to leave. You should quickly go and prepare." The man in black said.
"Don't worry, we are very familiar with the area of Yi City. They won't be able to escape." The triangular eyed man cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lang, I will be busy now. I will look for you at night. "
"Go." The man in black said.
… …
At this time, the people of Teng Jia Village gathered together.
"Everyone is here. Let's go back." Teng Qingshan smiled as he passed the book to Teng Yongfan. "This book is really good. When we go back, I must lend it to my father to read." With this, the group of hunters of Teng Jia Village joked with each other and embarked on their return journey.
