Chapter 1063: Ranked Battle (I)
One day more than ten years later, the Tianzhu Pavilion, which was usually not lively, gathered a large number of monks, and there were constantly high-level monks flying here.
In one day, thousands of high-ranking monks came here. These are all monks of Tianzhu Pavilion, and this day is the ranking ceremony of Tianzhu Pavilion once in a hundred years.
For the monks of the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion, the ranking ceremony was undoubtedly the most important moment. In just a few days, the rankings of the rankings will change, and each change will affect the great interests of the monks themselves, as well as their status in the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion.
Moreover, the ranking list will only be updated once every 100 years, so if you can occupy a good position on the ranking list in this ceremony, you will receive better money and higher status in the next 100 years, and the reward for each task will be more.
The seven or eight elders of the Tianzhumen Elders Association all appeared in the ranking hall this time. These elders of the Council of Elders are not the killers of Tianzhumen, nor are they on the ranking list, but they have the highest status in Tianzhumen. The affairs of the Tianzhu Sect are all directly controlled by the Council of Elders. Most of the monks understood that these council elders might not be very powerful in their own right, but they all represented some huge superpower in the Demon Realm. The fact that Tianzhumen has been able to stand for thousands of years is inseparable from the support of these super forces behind it.
These council elders, as well as the top ten Mahayana deacon elders on the list, sat high on a high platform in the middle of the Tianzhu Pavilion's main hall, and below the stage, they were the seats of a demon body stage monk.
Li Muran was among them, and his original ranking was very high, so he sat in the middle of the front row of the Demon Body Stage cultivators.
On the high platform on both sides of the main hall of Tianzhu Pavilion, there is a team of graceful girls dancing, silk and bamboo singing, the surrounding waves are stacked, the breeze is slow, the clouds and fog are around, and there is a fairy palace music.
"I have long heard that the girls of the West Demon Haiwa Clan can sing and dance well, and this time Elder Yun and the others specially invited the most outstanding 100 dancers of the Wa Clan from hundreds of millions of miles away to add a lot of color to this ranking hall. ā
"Isn't it, from the West Demon Sea to here, the distance between here is too far, and there is no direct teleportation array at all. You can only use some spatial tunnels and arrange the Qiankun to move the large array, and shuttle through the void to the vicinity. ā
Li Muran's heart moved after hearing the whispers of several Demon Body Stage cultivators not far away. At the other end of the West Demon Sea is the Yellow Horn Continent. If there is a way to go to the West Demon Sea, maybe there will be a chance to return to the Yellow Horn Continent.
Since separating from the Thousand Illusion Fairy, Li Muran has been thinking about returning to the Yellow Horn Continent all the time, but unfortunately he has been chased by strong enemies before, and his injuries are not light, so he can only practice first and recover from his injuries.
After joining Tianzhumen, Li Muran gradually recovered. Since he comprehended the state of mind of the "Heavenly Self Realm" and cultivated the "Taixu Sutra" exercises to the fifth layer, his cultivation has also grown day by day, and he has obtained high-level dark night exercises, over the years, Li Muran has not only fully recovered his divine thoughts, mana, and physical body, but also improved, reaching the peak state of the middle stage of the demon body.
With the increase in cultivation, the strength will naturally increase, and Li Muran can be regarded as having the power to protect himself. At this time, he naturally had the idea of trying to return to the Yellow Horn Continent.
It's a pity that if you want to cross such a long distance, it is impossible for an ordinary teleportation circle to be realized, and you must use the space tunnel between heaven and earth to shuttle through the void to reach the vicinity of the destination.
There are very few space tunnels that are stable and can be used, and Li Muran knows that one of them can lead to the West Demon Sea, and the Qiankun Shifting Great Array arranged with this space tunnel is in the hands of a certain big force in the Xuanbian Continent.
This kind of large array requires a large amount of top-grade magic crystals to be activated every time, so it is generally not used lightly.
"The fact that Tianzhumen was able to invite so many dancers from the West Demon Haiwa Clan must have been able to use that Qiankun Shifting Great Array! It seems that Tianzhumen also has a close relationship with that big force, and it can be used by the other party with this formation!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
If Li Muran rashly went to ask for a loan to move the Great Array, he would definitely be rejected by the other party, but if he could borrow it in the name of Tianzhumen, maybe he could use it. This is also a kind of hope for Li Muran.
Although Tianzhumen is rooted in the Xuanbian Continent, it will occasionally hunt down targets located in the Yellow Horn Continent or the West Demon Sea, Li Muran continues to stay in the Tianzhu Gate, maybe he can find an opportunity to return to the Yellow Horn Continent as the messenger of the Tianzhu Gate.
After a lively celebration of singing and dancing, it finally came to the moment that everyone paid the most attention to, and the white-bearded Tianzhumen Deer Great Elder flew out from among the elders and floated above everyone.
He took out a scroll with a gold rim and a red background from his bosom, and said loudly: "After several days of careful deliberation, and with reference to the completion of the tasks of the fellow disciples in the sect over the past hundred years, our elders have formulated a new ranking list. ā
Of course, this is only the first draft. Anyone who is not satisfied with their position can challenge the monk who is within the top 10 ranking, and if they win, the challenger will win a new ranking. ā
"You only have one chance to challenge, and if you lose, you can't challenge other monks. All challenges must be completed within seven days, and after seven days, that is, the day of the end of the ranking ceremony, we will issue an official ranking list based on the results of all challenges, and the ranking will not change for the next 100 years. There are also some detailed rules, I believe you are very clear to your fellow disciples, so I will not repeat them one by one. ā
"The new ranking list is here, if there is anything biased, please point it out!"
With that, Grand Elder Lu shook lightly and unfolded the scroll in his hand.
The scroll instantly turned into a zhang wide and dozens of zhang long, with familiar code names written on it from top to bottom.
The code names of the top ten all shone with a bright golden light, they were all deacons and elders in the Mahayana period, and Li Muran found that these rankings were exactly the same as a hundred years ago, and the Night Yama King was still ranked third, without any changes.
The ten to twenty places are dark gold names, and Li Muran found that "greedy charm" is still ranked twelfth.
The higher you go, the less you change your position, but the more you move from the top 20 onwards, there are a lot of changes.
Among them was a rising star, who was outside the top 100 a hundred years ago, but now he is ranked 35th, the most astonishingly improved of all the monks.
With a little nervousness and anticipation, the monks looked up their code names on the list. Some smiled with satisfaction, while others were sad and heavy.
"Tong Daoyou, the ranking has risen by as much as five places all of a sudden, congratulations!"
"Where, there is only a slight increase in the bottom, in comparison, Han Daoyou has risen by more than ten places, this is amazing......"
After the ranking list was announced, all the monks also began to talk about it, which can be described as a few happy and a few sad.
The ranking list is hanging high in the air of the main hall, and now this list can be changed, and after seven days, it will be finalized and maintained unchanged for a hundred years.
After a stick of incense, Elder Lu coughed lightly, stretched out his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
The hall immediately fell silent, and the Great Elder Lu said, "The ranking list has been announced, if there are any objections, you can challenge them!"
With that, he turned to the deacons and elders on the high platform and asked, "Elders, do you want to challenge?"
The elders shook their heads slightly, but no one responded.
Grand Elder Lu said, "Night Daoist, your magic powers are almost unrivaled at night, if you challenge at night, there is great hope for you to go further." Night Dao Friends and the two elders of Feng and Tian, who have occupied the top two positions all the year round, have never fought each other, and Elder Ben also wants to know who is stronger!"
The Night Yama King smiled slightly and shook his head: "My own strength, Ye Mou knows it, so there is no need to make a big move!"
Grand Elder Lu nodded slightly disappointed: "Since the Night Dao Friends are unwilling to challenge, Elder Ben will naturally not be reluctant!Nephew Wu Xian, you are ranked eleventh, which is the highest ranking among all the Demon Body Stage cultivators, I heard that you have already been able to face the Mahayana Stage Cultivators without falling behind in a short period of time, do you want to take this opportunity to challenge the top ten Mahayana Stage Elders?"
The middle-aged monk sitting next to Li Muran stood up and replied quietly: "Your subordinates don't dare! The Mahayana period is far from the demon body stage, and if you can't advance one day, you won't dare to move the idea of the top ten in one day." ā
Elder Lu nodded, and then moved his gaze to Li Muran: "Greedy little friend, although Xiaoyou has not been in this sect for a long time, he has already made a lot of fame, and when it comes to the name of killing the greedy charms of the whole sect at every turn, even if it is those famous heroes, they are also shuddering! I wonder if the greedy little friend wants to challenge and further improve the ranking?"
Li Muran also stood up and bowed: "No need, my subordinates are already very satisfied with the current ranking!"
After Li Muran stood up, there was a lot of whispered discussion behind him. In recent years, the name of greed has suddenly emerged, and the move of killing targets all over the door with "free" has caused a sensation in most of the immortal cultivation world of the Xuanbian Continent. The vast majority of the people have never seen the greedy charmer, and they guessed that this greedy charm must be a vicious murderer, but they didn't expect to see it today, but they were just an ordinary young monk in the middle of the demon body, his appearance was not good, and he even had a bit of scholarly spirit.
Grand Elder Lu nodded, and without much persuasion, he continued to ask the next monk.
The next few monks had no objection to their ranking, nor did they challenge it.
For the monks who are very high-ranked, their status is already very high, and if they want to change their ranking, they need to challenge some extremely powerful masters. It is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser in the fighting method between these masters, and even if he wins by luck, he is afraid that he will have to pay a high price. Therefore, unless there is a considerable degree of certainty, the light yƬ does not dare to challenge.
