In the Great Qin Dynasty, at the Taoist School.
Before a cliff face, Xiaoyaozi gazed intently, dressed in a Taoist robe, exhibiting the demeanor of an immortal. His eyes calmly fixed on the Golden Ranking, and he spoke with a sigh:
"I wonder where my Snow Clearing ranks on the Divine Weapon Ranking?"
"Skynet possesses so many famous swords. If they obtain many rewards from the Golden Ranking, the anti-Qin forces will surely suffer."
"However, fortunately, the Mohist School also has the Water Cold Sword and Ink Eyebrow, plus Zhang Liang of the Confucian School with his Lingxu. I hope they can get rewards from this Golden Ranking that are sufficient to overthrow Great Qin!"
Xiaoyaozi stood with his hands behind his back, his aura filled with the power of Taoist naturalness. Faint Taiji patterns flickered around him, covering an area of several yards.
The aura he exuded was so magnificent!
Just one step away, and he would have reached the Heavenly Human Realm.
Clearly, this was a powerhouse who had been cultivating at the peak of the Grandmaster realm for nearly a decade.
"I hope to gain the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Human level from this Golden Ranking reward."
"Otherwise, I'll need at least another ten years of hard work to make further progress."
Xiaoyaozi's eyes were calm, but a hint of anticipation flickered within.
As the head of the Taoist School, his aptitude was truly top-tier.
He had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm nearly ten years ago.
Looking across the world, not many could match his powerful talent.
But breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm required at least twenty years of arduous cultivation to build the necessary foundation.
"Compared to this generation's Ghost Valley Dual Swords, my talent is indeed inferior."
"With Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's aptitude, they are likely to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm within three years."
"It truly makes this Taoist envious!"
Xiaoyaozi gave a slight, bitter smile, shaking his head as he spoke.
Then, he stopped dwelling on it, his gaze quietly fixed on the Golden Ranking.
[Divine Weapon Ranking, 165th place — Crescent Moon Blade!]
[Host: Ding Peng!]
[Reason for Ranking: Inheritor of the Western Regions Demon Sect's demonic blade, it is clear and sharp, with a dazzling cold light. Engraved on the blade is also a beautiful poem—A Night of Spring Rain in the Small Tower!]
The Crescent Moon Blade is a treasure among demons, because it possesses a demonic nature; whoever possesses it will feel its demonic influence.
Except for those with great wisdom and insight.
Except for those with the utmost sincerity and genuine nature.
Ordinary experts find it difficult to control, yet it possesses a sharpness that can cut through iron like mud, nothing can withstand its might!
[Reward: Mid-Grade True Essence Pill (can enhance fifteen years of cultivation, also beneficial to Grandmaster level experts)]
In a picturesque valley within the Great Ming Dynasty.
This place, though seemingly perilous, was actually a hidden paradise, a realm of immortals. Flowing streams, exotic flowers, and rare plants created a breathtaking scene!
"Qingqing, I've done it! I've finally mastered the Godly Blade Slash!"
A handsome, extraordinary man, exuding a subtle aura of ruthlessness, his eyes sharp and captivating, his breath full of power, ran over from a distance, shouting with delight.
He then looked at the beautiful woman standing deep in the valley, graceful and elegant, with the charm of a young lady, his eyes filled with adoration.
"Congratulations, Ding Peng, on mastering the Godly Blade Slash, a technique no one from the Demon Sect has been able to cultivate in a hundred years, and on being able to wield the Crescent Moon Blade."
The stunning woman wore a light green dress, her aura as gentle as an orchid. Her delicate face held an air of nobility, and her smile was like a painting.
Just then, a gentle breeze swept through, stirring the strands of her hair.
This caused Ding Peng to reveal a look of infatuation, staring blankly.
She was still so elegant and refined, like a peerless fairy, making him intoxicated!
Ding Peng's heart trembled, and his eyes were filled with deep admiration.
Such a woman was worthy of him!
"Qingqing, I have now mastered the Godly Blade Slash. Your father said that as long as I can defeat you, I can marry you."
Looking at the beautiful woman before him, who seemed to be shrouded in clouds and rosy clouds, Ding Peng spoke with some impatience.
But who knew, Qingqing frowned slightly, shook her head, and her red lips parted:
"I told you long ago, I already have someone I love."
"He even taught me profound martial arts."
"Even if you've mastered the Godly Blade Slash, you're still far from my match."
"Why bother making things difficult for yourself?"
Ding Peng was shocked to hear this cold rejection. His expression tightened slightly, and his eyes revealed his unwillingness as he said,
"Qingqing, that person hasn't returned in years; he's probably forgotten all about you."
"Besides!"
"With my current strength, I might even be able to defeat him!"
"Only I am worthy of you!"
Hearing this, a coldness immediately flashed in Qingqing's clear, cold eyes. A vast aura erupted from her, and her expression became extremely indifferent as she spoke lightly,
"With your strength, you dare to contend with Your Majesty?"
"Defeat me first!"
"I have always disdained your so-called Godly Blade Slash!"
A flash of anger flickered in Ding Peng's eyes, and a deep sense of humiliation appeared on his face.
He had cultivated the Godly Blade Slash, a supreme technique that no one in the Western Regions Demon Sect had mastered in a hundred years.
Moreover, he possessed the Crescent Moon Blade, such a terrifying demonic weapon.
Even against a Grandmaster, he still had the power to fight!
"Ever since I started practicing martial arts, I accidentally obtained a fragmented sword technique – Shooting Star from Beyond!"
"I relied on my exceptional talent to complete it, and I dominated the jianghu."
"I don't know how many Grandmasters I defeated!"
"Later, I met Liu Ruosong. If I hadn't been careless and fallen for his schemes, how could he have lasted ten moves against me?"
"Now that I have the Crescent Moon Blade and have mastered the Godly Blade Slash, I have no rivals among Grandmasters."
Feeling slighted, Ding Peng quickly recounted his achievements, his eyes filled with deep confidence.
He would never let go of the grudge against Liu Ruosong.
After he re-emerged in the jianghu, Liu Ruosong's life would be the first to be claimed by the Crescent Moon Blade!
Qingqing was refined and elegant, with a dignified and noble bearing. Sensing Ding Peng's arrogance, a trace of disdain flashed in her clear eyes, and she said in a calm tone:
"If that's the case, then let's have a contest!"
"So you can see your own strength clearly!"
"It will also allow you to witness Your Majesty's divine skill!"
Even though her cultivation had long since reached the level of a top-tier expert in the martial world, she was still incredibly awestruck by the sword technique Your Majesty had taught her.
It seemed that the peerless martial arts circulating in the martial world were simply not worth mentioning in comparison.
At this moment, Qingqing glanced at Ding Peng, her beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion, as proud as a winter plum blossom, and chillingly imposing.
The other party did have some skill, managing to master the Demon Sect's ultimate technique, the Godly Blade Slash, in just two years.
But, how many geniuses are there in the world?
There's always someone better, and the sky is the limit!
To be so ignorant of the vastness of the world, yet still dare to compare oneself to Your Majesty?
What a fool!
