HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 2: The Speculation of Rebirth
After the Hidden Dragon Rank appeared, several rows of clear and sparkling golden characters appeared below. “This rank is the Hidden Dragon Rank of the Great Xia Dynasty. Young elites under the age of thirty can enter the rankings. A total of 100 people would be ranked in ascending order, and they could obtain the Heavenly Dao reward! The ratings will be refreshed in real time, and prizes will be awarded every month!”
The entire Nan'an City and the cities within a range of several thousand kilometers were able to see it clearly, and everyone was extremely shocked.
Such a miraculous scene was a once in a lifetime event even for an old man who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
Not only that, but the Heavenly Dao Rankings of the capitals, cities, and sects of various countries also appeared in the sky.
World's dumbfounded!
However, other than being shocked, everyone discussed and anticipated who could rise to the Heavenly Dao Rank. And who would occupy that dazzling top position?
Hidden Dragon Rank #100: Zhu Hong
Origin: Zhu Family of Liang Prefecture
Age: 23 years
Gift: Xuanyuan Pill
As soon as the first name appeared, a golden light flew out from the ranking list and headed southwest.
It is Liang Prefecture. It seemed like the golden light was a gift from the Heavenly Dao.
The hundredth place actually gifted Xuanyuan Pill.
Many looked surprised and envious.
Although this Xuanyuan Pill was not a rare treasure, it was still a precious pill.
These pills can complement one's cultivation and improve one's physique. That's very useful.
More importantly, as long as he persisted in the rankings, he would be rewarded with these pills every month. That was so awesome.
“If only I could get the Heavenly Dao Rank as well.”
“Don't dream like an ordinary person. Anyone who was at the rank was definitely a member of a large family clan and a big sect!
“Yes, if the 100th place is from the Zhu family. Ordinary students can forget about it!”
"Huh, if such an expert becomes stronger, then the weaker one will get weaker!"
Everyone was talking excitedly.
Hidden Dragon Rank #99: Zhang Daniu
Origin: Heavenly Water Pavilion
Gift: Xuanyuan Pill
Number 98 in the Hidden Dragon Rank: Wu Yuan
Origin: Clan of Millions of Sins
Gift: Xuanyuan Pill
…
As the rankings began to be announced, strands of golden light flew out from the ranking list and in various directions.
Grand Xia Dynasty, Liang Prefecture, Zhu Manor.
As a former noble and the family behind the current prime minister, the Zhu family was extremely powerful. They had many descendants and mercenaries, and their overall strength was not inferior to some big sects.
“The Heavenly Dao Rank has finally appeared!” A man in luxurious clothes stood in the pavilion with his assistant standing beside him as he looked at the golden rank in the sky.
He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, emitting an imposing aura.
On his dashing face, there was a deep pair of eyes that seemed to have undergone a life change.
Stay sharp and deep, despite having just witnessed something extraordinary.
His eyes were still as calm as the water in the ancient well, as only a smile had appeared on his lips.
He was the top prodigy of the current generation of the Zhu family. His talent and strength were unrivalled throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Even the top elites of the Jade Pure Dao Sect could not compare to him.
Not only that, he was a reborn man.
Of course, no one else but him knew about this.
In his previous life, he had become the number one existence in the Hidden Dragon Rank Heavenly Dao Rank.
He knew the Heavenly Dao Ranking better than anyone else.
The Hidden Dragon Rank was only the beginning. Three months later, the Heavenly Dao Ranking would also announce the Great Xia Dynasty Divine Weapon Ranking.
It was a much more important rank with more rewards.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Ranking was only ranked by country.
That meant that only the young elites of the Great Xia Dynasty were on the list.
The Heavenly Dao Rankings will appear in the future. That is a real valuable ranking list.
At that time, it would cover a wider area that encompassed various humans, monsters, and demon races.
The payoff will be more extraordinary.
In his previous life, many people relied on the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao Rank to become peerless experts.
Those who could reach the top ten of the Heavenly Dao Rank had the chance to enter the Eternal Rank in the future and enter the Eternal grade.
After his rebirth, he knew everything about the future and was confident that he could devise a strategy to seize the wealth of heaven and earth.
He was planning to utilize the Heavenly Dao Ranking to advance quickly and ascend to the Eternal Realm.
Under the pavilion, everyone from the Zhu Family was eagerly discussing the matter. In their hearts, Zhu Xiaotian should be the only candidate at the peak of the Hidden Dragon Rank.
“Sister Xiaotian, so you are here!” A beautiful girl with snow-white skin and charming eyes ran over.
Her name was Yi Caidie, the beloved daughter of King Pingnan of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Brother Xiaotian, the first place in this Hidden Dragon Rank must be yours!" The girl walked over to Zhu Xiaotian's side and looked at her rank.
He did not flatter her, as Zhu Xiaotian was the publicly acknowledged number one miracle of the Great Xia Dynasty. His natural talent is unparalleled.
Zhu Xiaotian slightly smiled and did not speak, but his face was filled with determination.
In his previous life, he was the first on the list.
Now that he was reborn, his cultivation was higher and better than his previous life.
Hence, no one could compete with the first in the Hidden Dragon Rank in this lifetime.
“With Sister Cai Die's ability, you will definitely get a place in the top ten!” Zhu Xiaotian.
According to his memories in his previous life, his childhood friend Cai Die was ranked tenth.
"I hope so! Brother Xiaotian, look how many demon sect disciples are in this rank!” Yi Caidie said with a grim expression.
Half of the rankings have been announced. And there were already over 20 demon sect disciples among those 50 people.
“Huh, the straight path descends, while the devil's path runs rampant. Chaos is inevitable!” Zhu Xiaotian said solemnly.
He knew clearly that the Great Xia Dynasty was not alone.
The entire Huaxia continent is the same. In the next few hundred years, it was likely that the era would be filled with demons.
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Ranking intensified this situation.
As the saying goes, nature is heartless and treats everything as a straw dog.
The rank of the Heavenly Dao was not only limited to certain race species.
In the fight for the Great Dao, a myriad of races compete for the chance to become immortal and seek the Dao!
Still, the heroes emerged from the chaos. Zhu Xiaotian wanted to utilize the wind of change to transform into a true dragon and ascend to the nine heavens.
…
Yue Prefecture Great Xia Dynasty, Jade Pure Dao Sect.
The Sect Master of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Sect Master Yu Hua, stood at the entrance of the Pure Jade Palace Hall. He looked at the Heavenly Dao Ranking in the sky with a heavy expression.
Indeed, the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Ranking filled him with pleasant surprise and anticipation. Many of their sect disciples had also entered the Hidden Dragon Rank and received gifts from the Heavenly Dao.
However, looking at the full rank was like looking at the future of the world.
He can't not worry.
The Demon Sect already occupied half of the 80 announced places.
This was especially true for the Netherworld Demon Sect, as the number of ranked disciples had surpassed their Daoist Sect.
Demons were rampant in the current Great Xia Dynasty, and larger demons from all over were wreaking havoc.
There were many deaths and injuries among those on the straight path, and it was difficult to eradicate them. Everyone is scared.
The decline of the right path and the expansion of the devil's path is undeniable.
In the past few years, the strength of the Netherworld Demon Sect had surpassed them.
Now, their younger generation was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. And just thinking about such potential alone was already frightening enough.
What was even more troubling was that the Heavenly Dao Rank would reveal this cruel fact to the public.
It was truly a public execution, making a true sect feel ashamed.
At this rate, it would definitely cause panic in the world.
It could even threaten the true status of a sect in the hearts of people.
Thinking of this, Sect Master Yu Hua really felt depressed.
Right at this moment, a group of figures flew over from afar.
Sect Master Yu Hua focused his gaze.
It was Elder Hu who came back and the others. They had set out to eliminate Shi Potian even if it meant losing their lives.
"So fast?" Sect Master Yu Hua was slightly surprised.
However, when they saw that everyone had returned unscathed, they were shocked.
"Older Hu, why are you back so quickly?"
“Reporting to the Sect Master, when we arrived, the Stone Demon Mountain had disappeared. Shi Potian had already been killed by someone else. From the traces of the battle, most likely done by a certain expert!” Elder Hu said as he cupped his hands.
"really?" Sect Master Yu Hua revealed an excited expression. This huge stone weighing down on his heart finally disappeared.
If they still could not get rid of Shi Potian, their Jade Pure Dao Sect would probably be too embarrassed to face the commoners.
They would be ridiculed and humiliated by the demon sect again.
