The Golden Horned Holy Ape looked at Gu Xuan and smiled.
"To be honest, Little Brother Gu, the Grand Competition this time is a little special.
In the past, no Profound Sages participated in the Grand Competition.
After all, the entrance to the Grand Competition is at the Third Heaven of the Saint realm.
In theory, Profound Sages shouldn't appear in the Third Heaven. "
Gu Xuan listened carefully.
The Golden Horned Holy Ape continued, "However, I've already seen more than one Profound Sage pass through the Fifth Realm and head to the Sixth Realm.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao must have allowed Profound Sages to participate in this Grand Competition.
With Profound Sages participating, even with my current strength, I might not be able to get into the top three.
Little Brother Gu, don't even think about getting first place.
Not only that, for safety's sake, it's best not to even think about getting into the top nine.
I think a tenth place would be the best choice. "
Gu Xuan pondered.
Thinking back, before he had entered the Ninth Heaven of the Saint realm, the Vermilion Bird Princess of the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect had warned Gu Xuan not to fight for a ranking that was too high. Instead, he should fight for tenth place.
Now, the Golden Horned Holy Ape was saying the same thing.
Could it be that there was something special about tenth place?
"Old Brother Golden Horned Holy Ape, why is tenth place the best?"
Gu Xuan probed.
The Golden Horned Holy Ape thought for a moment and said seriously, "According to my years of research on the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao likes the number nine.
Isn't the Ninth Heaven of the Saint realm created by the Heavenly Dao?
In fact, I seriously suspect that the Tenth Realm is actually the Ninth Realm.
If there really is a Tenth Realm, then the guardian of the Tenth Realm is very likely the Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, for safety's sake, we must avoid ninth place on the Saint Rankings.
When the Heavenly Dao gives out the rewards, ninth place can't be better than first to eighth place, right?
If ninth place is a trap, then there are even more traps for first to eighth place.
Therefore, the best and safest ranking can only be tenth place! "
Gu Xuan's mouth twitched a few times.
Ouyang Huadie and the Pauper Saint both rolled their eyes at the Golden Horned Holy Ape.
What kind of weird reason was this?
The Heavenly Dao liked the number nine, so there were traps for first to ninth place?
So the tenth place was the safest?
This was not the weirdest part. The weirdest part was that the Golden Horned Holy Ape actually suspected that the guardian of the tenth realm was the Heavenly Dao?
The guardians of the First Realm to the Ninth Realm were all prisoners. Logically speaking, the guardian of the Tenth Realm should also be a prisoner. At most, it would be a slightly stronger prisoner. How could it be the Heavenly Dao?
Was the Heavenly Dao so free that it would come to the Tenth Realm to be a guardian?
Moreover, basically, the dust had settled between the eighth and ninth realms. There was simply no one who could go to the tenth realm.
"Ahem, let's talk about the rankings later.
Now, it's time to go to the Sixth Realm. "
Gu Xuan quickly changed the topic.
With regards to the Golden Horned Holy Ape's nonsense, no one took it to heart.
In fact, after the Golden Horn Holy Ape said that, he seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter and followed Gu Xuan and the others to meet up with the other Dragon Subduing City s.
After that, the majestic army flew towards the nearest passageway that led to the Sixth Realm.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the mountainside of a golden mountain and entered a cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, there were actually dozens of peak Saint Realm martial artists who jumped out.
"Humph! I opened this cave. I am under the orders of Lord Golden Horned Holy Ape to guard this teleportation formation. Anyone who wants to pass through here must pay a toll. Otherwise, bear the consequences! "
A ferocious-looking bearded man stared coldly at Gu Xuan and the others.
Dozens of peak Saint Realm martial artists were stationed here, and they had already used this method to earn quite a bit of toll.
No matter who it was, once they saw that there were dozens of peak Saint Realm martial artists here, they did not dare to be presumptuous.
Although there were many people in this group, there were very few peak Saint Realm martial artists.
This time, they would be able to earn a huge sum again.
A few low grade Common Spirit Treasures would be indispensable.
When Gu Xuan and the others saw this group of people lying in ambush in the cave and actually using the name of the Golden Horned Holy Ape, they did not say anything. They only focused their gazes on the Golden Horned Holy Ape.
At this moment, the Golden Horned Holy Ape had maintained the size of a normal person.
As such, although it looked like an ape, no one would think that it was the famous Golden Horned Holy Ape.
The Golden Horned Holy Ape was a little embarrassed. Where did this group of idiots come from? Why did they form a group to ruin its reputation?
"Your grandfather is the Golden Horned Holy Ape. Why don't I remember? When did I ask you to collect toll?"
The Golden Horned Holy Ape said angrily.
When the bearded man and the others heard this, they looked at the Golden Horned Holy Ape in shock. However, they immediately burst out laughing.
"A stinky monkey dares to impersonate Lord Golden Horned Holy Ape?
Lord Golden Horned Holy Ape is ten zhang tall. He does not like to shrink because that is impressive enough.
If you want to impersonate him, at least grow taller.
You can't just dye your fur golden.
Listen to my advice. You don't know Lord Golden Horned Holy Ape. Go back and do some research before you impersonate him. "
The bearded man patted the Golden Horned Holy Ape's shoulder and laughed happily.
The Golden Horned Holy Ape was speechless.
The Qiongqian Saint could not hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
Gu Xuan was also smiling as he patted the Golden Horned Holy Ape's shoulder.
"I told you not to impersonate the Golden Horned Holy Ape.
You don't know anything about the Golden Horned Holy Ape. Now you are exposed.
It was better to pay the toll obediently.
This bearded man, we have more than a hundred people here. How much do we have to pay to enter the Teleportation Formation? "
The bearded man looked at Gu Xuan with admiration.
"Brother, since you know what's good for you, I'll give you a friendly price.
Give me ten Lower Grade Mystical Spiritual Treasures and one Middle Grade Mystical Spiritual Treasure, and I'll let you pass. "
This price was astronomical. However, the bearded man said it casually. He knew that the other party would not be able to take out so many treasures, or they would not be willing to take out so many treasures.
The other party would definitely bargain. At that time, he would act like he was in a difficult position and slowly lower the price. In the end, he would get the most out of it. Both parties would get what they wanted. It was perfect.
Gu Xuan did not hesitate and said, "Deal!
I thought it would be expensive. It's actually so cheap! "
The bearded man and the others were shocked.
The group of people in front of them were rich?
Ten Lower Grade Mystical Spiritual Treasures and one Middle Grade Mystical Spiritual Treasure. They took it out just like that?
They were surprised at first. Then, they regretted it. If they knew that this group of people was so rich, they would have said more! They had miscalculated!
