The Heavenly Dragon Ranking and the Heavenly Phoenix Ranking were known as the Dragon-phoenix Ranking.
The Dragon-phoenix Ranking was a grand event held in the Transcendent World every hundred years. It was a grand event for the younger generation of prodigies.
Every prodigy within a hundred years old would be proud to be ranked on the Dragon-phoenix Ranking. Men would compete for the Heavenly Dragon Ranking, while women would compete for the Heavenly Phoenix Ranking.
Every Dragon-phoenix Ranking would sweep through the Transcendent World. Regardless of whether it was the Palace of Immortals, King of Hell's Palace, Shaolin, or Wudang, they would all send their younger generation to participate.
In the battle for the Great Dao, young people had to be hot-blooded and competitive. The Dragon-phoenix Ranking was set up for them.
Whoever could stand out in the Dragon-phoenix Ranking would have the chance to enter the mysterious sacred land to cultivate and see the Sage Realm.
It could be said that the top thousand of the Heavenly Dragon Ranking and the Heavenly Phoenix Ranking were the main event for the various prodigies. Those who could become the top ten on the ranking would be titled "Heavenly Dragon King" or "Heavenly Phoenix King". They would be the center of attention and be famous in the Transcendent World. The prodigies who fought for the position of dragon and phoenix would be titled "Dragon Emperor" or "Phoenix Emperor". They had a unique status.
The location chosen for each Dragon-phoenix Ranking competition was different. The test was also different. However, among the prodigies who could become Heavenly Dragon King or Heavenly Phoenix King, at least half of them could become Sages.
This ratio seemed a little low, but in fact, it was frighteningly high.
There were countless people in the Transcendent World. There were countless people in the Dragon Transformation Realm, but only a few could become Sages.
After Yang Wu heard Sun Yong's introduction of the Dragon-phoenix Ranking, he was moved. "This ranking is quite interesting."
"If you want to become Heavenly Dragon King or Heavenly Phoenix King, you must obtain the Heavenly Dragon Token or the Heavenly Phoenix Token. Without these two tokens, everything is in vain!" Sun Yong emphasized.
"In another two years, the fifty year period will be up." Murong Ruge sighed softly at the side. She picked up her wine glass and drank from it. Her eyes were burning with passion.
"In the battle for the Great Dao, if you don't advance, you will fall behind." Qin Yueguan said with a firm expression.
Yang Wu said indifferently, "No one can refuse such a grand event."
"That's for sure. Even the Buddhists are not exempt from it, let alone us." Sun Yong nodded. After pausing for a moment, he raised his cup and said, "Here, I wish everyone to become Heavenly Dragon King and Heavenly Phoenix King. Cheers!"
Iron Bull still had a big piece of meat in his mouth. He raised his cup and said, "Cheers!"
After a series of small disturbances, the banquet gradually entered a harmonious situation. Every table was eating, drinking, and discussing the matters of the world.
Perhaps after this banquet, everyone wanted to get together again, but who knew when, so everyone drank to their heart's content, and their feelings quickly warmed up.
During this time, Yang Wu continuously toasted Xuanyuan Huowu three times. Xuanyuan Huowu drank all of them in a forthright manner and even toasted Yang Wu back. Sun Yong couldn't help but tease them about whether something had happened in the God of War Pagoda.
Xuanyuan Huowu didn't think so. On the contrary, she even toasted everyone present, showing her magnanimity.
The banquet gradually calmed down amidst the noise and dispersed. There was no fixed date for the next meeting.
As the host, Yang Wu stayed at the back and waited for everyone to disperse. This was etiquette.
Xuanyuan Huowu stayed at the back with him.
Yang Wu didn't think that she had taken a fancy to him. The two of them had gone through a period of life and death and could be considered friends. She should have something to say to him.
When everyone dispersed, Xuanyuan Huowu invited Yang Wu, "Let's walk together."
After saying that, she coolly walked out of the wine pavilion.
Yang Wu looked at her graceful figure and quickly followed.
He walked shoulder to shoulder with her. The two of them were like two bright moons, instantly lighting up the dark night.
After Yang Wu had dispersed his cultivation and re-cultivated, there was an indescribable temperament on his body. That was his martial will. No matter what he encountered, he could remain unfazed and calmly deal with it. Even when he was standing beside Xuanyuan Huowu, who was known as a "fairy," he didn't make others feel that he wasn't worthy of her. On the contrary, it made others feel that the two of them were a match made in heaven.
The two of them kept walking and didn't speak. There were fewer and fewer people on the official road, making it seem even quieter. Only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.
Half of Shy Moon's face was exposed. Specks of stars flickered like fireflies. A breeze blew past, causing the sleeves of her clothes to flutter.
After a long while, Yang Wu couldn't help but say, "You called me out just to block the official road?"
It was a blessing to be able to travel with a fairy. Yang Wu actually dared to complain. If others knew about this, they would definitely fight him.
"You don't want to?" Xuanyuan Huowu lightly opened her jade lips and asked.
Yang Wu touched his nose and said, "That's not it. It's just that pretending to be profound isn't in your character."
Others might not be aware of Xuanyuan Huowu's eccentricity, but Yang Wu was well aware.
Xuanyuan Huowu indifferently replied, "Do you think I'm pretending?"
Yang Wu was momentarily stumped, but he still answered truthfully, "A little."
Xuanyuan Huowu smiled.
At this moment, she was like the silver moon in the sky sprinkling down endless rays of light. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating. She was also like the blooming petals of a golden tulip flower, releasing waves of alluring fragrance.
Yang Wu was mesmerized. He couldn't help but blurt out, "So beautiful!"
Xuanyuan Huowu rolled her eyes at him and said in a displeased tone, "You're very honest. You're much braver than the others. You're like a man."
"Uh … What do you mean like a man? I'm a man, alright?"
"Hehe, look at your skin. It's even more feminine than a woman's. You actually dare to call yourself a man. How shameless."
"I'll take it that you're jealous."
"What a joke. Why would I be jealous of you? This princess is naturally beautiful. Everyone loves me. Flowers bloom when they see me …"
"Stop, stop … Let me find a place to vomit."
"Little Wu, you're courting death!"
…
This pair of young man and young woman, one chasing the other, quietly arrived at a solitary building in War God City. They flew up to the top of the building and stood side by side. It was as if they were one with heaven and earth, appearing so natural and moving.
"Little Wu, did you really come up from the mortal world?" Xuanyuan Huowu asked curiously.
"You don't believe me either?" Yang Wu asked in return.
"I don't believe you, but I find it hard to believe." Xuanyuan Huowu contradicted herself. She then said with certainty, "I believe you."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. Isn't there a saying, 'Don't ask where a hero comes from'? I don't care where I come from. In the future, this land will have my name, Yang Wu, on it. "Yang Wu said confidently.
Xuanyuan Huowu calmly looked at the endless night and changed the topic. "What did you experience on the twelfth floor of the God of War Pagoda that made you transform so quickly?"
"What transformation? I'm still the same." Yang Wu replied. He then asked in return, "What about you? You must have gained a lot on the twelfth floor. Your strength has increased so quickly."
"When I saw you on the eighth floor, you were still young and tender. After coming out of the God of War Pagoda, you were reborn. You've changed so much after staying there for ten years. I'm really shocked." Xuanyuan Huowu said with a wise gaze.
Yang Wu sat down on the roof and said, "Ten years can indeed change a lot of things. Aren't you the same? People are always growing. Otherwise, you would have been trampled to death by others long ago." He paused for a moment and said, "However, only your strength has changed. Your person hasn't changed. You're still ridiculously handsome."
Xuanyuan Huowu pointed at Yang Wu with her lotus and said with a smile, "Your moral integrity hasn't changed."
"Hey, only you're allowed to be narcissistic, but I'm not allowed to show off occasionally?"
"Little Wu, you're very handsome. So handsome that I want to be friends with you."
"In my heart, you're already my friend."
"Hehe, then wouldn't I be honored? If we meet as enemies on the battlefield in the future, would you spare my life?"
"Although I can't die for you like those flower protectors of yours, I'll never hurt you. Moreover, even I'm afraid of you when you're shrewish, so we'll never be enemies."
"What do you mean I'm shrewish? Try saying that again!"
"Uh … Wrong description, wrong description. I should have said you're crazy."
"Little Wu, I want to duel with you!"
…
In the end, Xuanyuan Huowu and Yang Wu didn't really duel. After the moon shyly set, they said their goodbyes.
"Little Wu, don't tell anyone about what happened in the God of War Pagoda," Xuanyuan Huowu reminded Yang Wu.
"Why? Are you afraid that I'll ruin your reputation?" Yang Wu asked with a faint smile.
"That's not it. I'm just afraid that I'll cause you some unnecessary trouble. Some people are just so annoying," Xuanyuan Huowu said with a complicated expression. Then she said, "I should go back."
"I'll send you off," Yang Wu said in a gentlemanly manner.
Xuanyuan Huowu waved her hand and said, "This princess isn't that delicate. Goodbye, Little Wu."
She left as soon as she said that. Her body quietly disappeared into the night like a female knight, leaving behind an unforgettable back view.
Yang Wu watched her leave. His heart was filled with reluctance. He bitterly smiled in his heart, "Slug, your formidable opponent has appeared."
In Yang Wu's heart, only Zi Yu Yue could compare with Xuanyuan Huowu. Their temperaments were somewhat similar, like fairies descending to the mortal world. No matter where they went, they were the most dazzling pearls.
"Little Wu, you're really rude. This princess walked so far without saying goodbye. The next time we meet, I'll beat you into a pig head." A voice suddenly sounded in Yang Wu's ears. It was like a peerless expert's "Back Thrust", stabbing Yang Wu under the horse.
Suddenly, Yang Wu gathered unprecedented courage. He clasped his hands in front of his mouth and shouted, "Goodbye, Little Wu. Next time, I'll beat your butt."
A dense killing intent emerged in the night ahead. A bright red light, like a meteor's tail, finally disappeared into the distance.
Yang Wu laughed heartily.
She left, but he still stood on the roof beam. He waited until dawn broke over the horizon, revealing a bright sword ray that cut through the darkness of the night. Only then did he return to his home.
"This matter is over. It's time to find my cheap master."
