For example, there are Guan Yutian, the Demon Master Pang Ban, and Zhang Sanfeng, the martial arts master who upholds the righteous path.
For example, there is the great demon Yin Zhong who wreaks havoc on the world, as well as Tong Bo, whose strength is close to his, and Jian Yin, who represents the way of heaven and upholds justice.
Because of the presence of Zhang Sanfeng, Tong Bo, and Jian Yin, three powerful cultivators at the Celestial Realm, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty was fraught with danger, but everyone still felt very safe.
When the list of the most powerful figures in the Song Dynasty was released, there were also many great demons, such as Blood-Handed Master Li and Yan Kuangtu, who were tyrannical figures in the martial arts world.
On the righteous path, however, there was no movement. Wang Chongyang went into seclusion, and the Three Elders of Xiaoyao were constantly embroiled in internal strife.
The Shaolin sect finally managed to send out a sweeping monk, but he was indifferent to worldly affairs.
Now, the chivalrous heroes of the Song Dynasty can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out that there were also reclusive powerhouses in the Song Dynasty who took it upon themselves to protect the martial arts world.
It was none other than the number one on the list of the greatest masters of the Song Dynasty—the Supreme Grandmaster Ling Donglai!
He alone is enough to rival the three top-tier terrestrial experts in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world.
How could this not make the martial arts figures of the Song Dynasty ecstatic?
Everyone was shocked, especially after hearing that Ling Donglai had injured Meng Chixing with a single palm strike, even causing a significant drop in his cultivation level.
This is the power of the Celestial Longevity Realm!
Meng Chixing is no ordinary person; anyone familiar with the martial arts world of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty has certainly heard of him.
He was the most terrifying villain in the Mongol Yuan dynasty for the past century, and was known to almost everyone.
Even Genghis Khan respected him greatly and appointed him as Kublai Khan's teacher.
Although he had not made a move for sixty years, he was still recognized as one of the top masters of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
Only now do people understand why he hasn't shown up for sixty years.
It turns out they were too scared to show themselves because of Ling Donglai!
Moreover, Meng Chixing's experience was far more tragic than that of Xue Shouligong.
Li Gong was ambushed by the Supreme Grandmaster while he was concentrating on practicing his skills.
As for Meng Chixing, he clearly sensed someone nearby, but he couldn't find any trace of them. He even took a blow without seeing who it was.
The thought of it is terrifying.
Anyone who encountered such a thing would probably be so scared that they would wet themselves and never dare to do anything reckless again.
Although Ling Donglai only made two moves, he had already fully demonstrated the demeanor of a supreme grandmaster, earning everyone's utmost respect.
Immediately, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves:
"This is terrifying. The number one on the list can actually step into the Heavenly Dao through martial arts. I never thought there was anyone in this world who could be compared with Lu Zu."
"Just as I guessed, the top spot on the list in the Great Song Dynasty belongs to that Supreme Grandmaster. Only someone at the Celestial Longevity Realm could so easily toy with Blood Hand Li Gong."
"This is a powerful expert in the Celestial Longevity Realm. Even Meng Chixing, who is in the Land Immortal Realm, is helpless in front of him."
"I never imagined that Meng Chixing did so many bad things in the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, Senior Ling Donglai was there, otherwise the Song Dynasty would have suffered countless deaths."
"Haha, who just said that the Great Song Dynasty has no people who uphold justice? With Grandmaster Ling Donglai here, those Blood-Handed Craftsmen and Yan the Madman are not worth mentioning!"
"It's hard to say. Although Ling Donglai has always protected the martial arts world, he has now locked himself in the Ten Deadly Passes. Unless something terrible happens, he will not come out."
“Ling Donglai’s cultivation level is already extremely high. If he breaks through to the next level, he will probably become the strongest person in the world.”
In the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Hua Manlou exclaimed, "Ling Donglai is truly an extraordinary grandmaster. He attained enlightenment through martial arts. There are indeed many top masters in this world."
"No wonder Chuan Ying was outmatched by him; Ling Donglai's strength has indeed reached the pinnacle of human power," Xie Xiaofeng said with a shake of his head and a sigh.
He previously thought that his ability to toy with Blood Hand Li Gong and injure Demon Sect Meng Chixing with a single palm strike was beyond his imagination.
“Ling Donglai’s martial arts skills are indeed unprecedented, but Chuan Ying’s acquisition of the ‘War God Record’ is also an astonishing inheritance. Once he leaves the War God Hall, it’s really hard to say who is stronger between the two,” Yan Shisan said coldly. He clearly favored the young Chuan Ying.
Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, refusing to participate in the discussion, and instead asked loudly:
"Immortal Celestial, this month's Celestial Monthly Review has announced the top lists for the Ming and Song dynasties. What list will be announced in the next month's review?"
The hall fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.
Although everyone was discussing it, this was still the issue they were most concerned about.
What kind of list will be published in the next issue of Tianji Yuedan Ping?
The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is naturally the list of the best.
Because the Top Ranking is a list that ranks the strongest people in the martial arts world, it has the highest value and is most likely to reveal all sorts of shocking information.
Just like after the list of the most outstanding cultivators of the Ming and Song dynasties was released, people learned about the "Dao Xin Zhong Mo Jue", "Tai Xuan Jing", "Chang Chun Bu Lao Gong", and "Zhan Shen Tu Lu", which are usually difficult to access in the world.
Not to mention the exposure of top figures such as Jian Yin, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, Yin Zhong, who is immortal, and Ling Donglai, who entered the Dao through martial arts.
Jianghu forces like Qin, Han, Sui, Liyang, and Tang, which haven't yet announced their champion rankings, are all eagerly awaiting the results.
Thinking of this, everyone involuntarily looked towards Bai Yutai.
On the white jade platform,
Su Chen took a sip of tea, scanned the room, and announced loudly, "This concludes the commentary for this session of the Heavenly Secrets Monthly Review."
Chapter 154 concludes here.
"As for the theme of the next issue, it will still be the top spot."
"At that time, I will announce the top rankings of the Sui and Liyang dynasties and comment on the top experts from these two dynasties."
"If you are interested, you can come back here in a month."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement once again.
The Sui Dynasty was unparalleled!
Li Yang is unparalleled!
The next issue of the "Heavenly Secrets Monthly Review" will once again release two major lists simultaneously.
This surprised and delighted everyone.
The martial arts practitioners of the Sui and Liyang dynasties were overjoyed, and cheers rose and fell.
Just wait another month, and the Celestial Immortal will announce the top ten experts of their dynasty.
Based on the experience of the Ming and Song dynasties in selecting the most outstanding masters, many reclusive experts will surely emerge, bringing with them the secrets of cultivation that everyone is most interested in.
Although the people of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties were somewhat disappointed, they also showed expressions of anticipation.
The list of the most outstanding emperors has been released so far for the three dynasties of Beili, Ming, and Song. The list for the Sui and Liyang dynasties will be released next.
It will only take a few months for their own dynasty to be listed, so they can wait.
Immediately, the people in the hall began to discuss the matter.
"The Top Ranking! It's still the Top Ranking! Is the Celestial Immortal going to expose all the top experts of all the dynasties at once?"
"Excellent! The most exciting thing is the Top Ranking. I want to see just how powerful the true top masters of the Great Sui Jianghu are."
"In the past, the strongest person in the Great Sui Dynasty was the wandering cultivator Ning Daoqi, but now we know that the Desolate Sword Yan Fei is even stronger than him. I wonder where Yan Fei and Ning Daoqi will rank when the Great Sui Dynasty's list of the most outstanding people is released?"
"The God of Swordsmanship, Li Chungang, has recovered his cultivation as a terrestrial celestial being. When the Li Yang Ranking is released this time, he will definitely be among the top."
“There are many experts in Liyang, especially the martial arts god Wang Xianzhi. He destroyed the Martial Emperor City by himself, and he may be the number one on the list of masters.”
"Wang Xianzhi's strength is indeed frightening. Sixty years ago, he was only slightly inferior to Li Chungang, and now he should be even stronger."
"I really hope this month will pass quickly. I've decided to stay in Snowmoon City for the next month."
"Snow Moon City has really made a fortune because of the Celestial Immortal. The inns and restaurants will be packed to capacity again for the next month."
In the third private room on the fifteenth floor of Beimian
Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Master, the list of the most outstanding people in the Great Sui Dynasty has arrived. We've come at just the right time."
Zhu Yuyan nodded slightly, her usually calm eyes now revealing a hint of excitement.
The Sui Dynasty was unparalleled!
This will be the key to uncovering the true face of the martial arts world during the Sui Dynasty.
The true number of top masters and secrets hidden in the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty will all be revealed in a month.
As a prominent figure in the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty, Zhu Yuyan naturally paid close attention to this matter.
"I wonder if I'm good enough to make the list with my cultivation level?" Zhu Yuyan murmured to herself, her tone tinged with a hint of uncertainty.
Although she was very famous and known as the strongest person in the Great Sui Demonic Sect, she knew in her heart that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan was no weaker than her.
In addition, with Song Que, the Heavenly Blade of the Song Clan, Ning Daoqi, the hermit of the Daoist sect, and some eminent monks of the Buddhist sect, her position was not secure.
If some reclusive old monsters were to emerge, it would be entirely possible for them to dethrone her from the top spot.
However, compared to empty titles like rankings, Zhu Yuyan was more concerned about the secrets of cultivating immortality!
Ever since the cultivators and their methods were exposed, she has been filled with longing for cultivation.
In particular, she was filled with anticipation upon learning that her family's demonic manual, "The Heavenly Demon Strategy," contained the ultimate secrets of immortality.
The next edition of the Great Sui Dynasty's Top Players list will be her golden opportunity to uncover this secret.
With that thought, Zhu Yuyan's gaze became unusually firm.
The righteous and evil factions of the Great Sui Dynasty have been fighting for over a hundred years. She and Fan Qinghui have been fighting for decades. Who will have the last laugh depends on who can seize the great opportunity that comes next.
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
Xu Fengnian slammed his hand on the table and stood up, laughing loudly, "Good! I want to see which unexpected masters will appear on Liyang's list of top experts."
"Then you'll be very surprised."
Li Chungang took a sip of wine and said meaningfully.
Old Huang blinked and pondered for a moment before saying, "With my master's strength, making the list is definitely not a problem. I just don't know if my Sword Nine Emperor can also get a spot?"
Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "If you make the list, I'll toast you to celebrate."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
