Chapter 1063 Ranking Battle (1)
One day more than ten years later, the Tianzhu Pavilion, which was not usually lively, gathered a large number of monks, and the escape light of high-level monks continued to fly here.
In one day, thousands of high-level monks came here. These were all monks from Tianzhu Pavilion, and this day was the ranking ceremony once a century in the Tianzhu Pavilion.
For the monks of Tianzhu Pavilion, the ranking ceremony is undoubtedly the most important moment. In these few days, the rankings of the rankings will change. Each change is related to the great interests of the monks themselves and their status in the Tianzhu Pavilion.
Moreover, the ranking list will only be updated every hundred years, so if you can get a good ranking in this ceremony, you will receive a better salary and a higher status in the next hundred years, and you will receive more rewards for each task execution.
The seven or eight elders of the Presbyterians of the Tianzhu Sect Presbyterian Church all appeared in the ranking hall this time. The elders of the Presbyterian Church are not killers of the Tianzhu Sect, nor are they included in the ranking list, but they have the highest status in the Tianzhu Sect. All the affairs of the Tianzhu Sect are directly controlled by the Presbyterian Church. Most monks understand that these elders may not be very powerful in their own strength, but they all represent some huge super forces in the demon world. The ability of the Tianzhu Sect to stand for thousands of years is closely related to the support of these super forces behind them.
These elders of the deacon and the top ten Mahayana deacons, respectively sat high on the platform in the air in the Tianzhu Pavilion Hall, and below the stage, there were seats for a group of monks in the Demon Body Stage.
Li Muran was among them. He was originally ranked very high, so he sat in the center of the front row among the monks in the Demon Body Stage.
On the high platforms on both sides of the Tianzhu Pavilion Hall, there is a team of graceful girls dancing gracefully, with silk and bamboo singing, the waves around them stacked, the breeze was gentle, the clouds were flying around, and the fog was surging, and the joy of the fairy palace was filled with joy.
"I have heard that the girls of the Western Demon Haiwa clan can sing and dance well. This time, Elder Yun and others specially invited the 100 most outstanding dancers from the Wa clan to add a lot of color to the ranking hall this time."
"Not it? From the West Demon Sea to here, it is too far apart, and there is no teleportation array directly. I can only use some space tunnels to arrange a large array of universe movement and travel through the void to come to the vicinity."
After hearing several monks in the Demonic Body Stage not far away, Li Muran felt a stir in his heart. The other end of the Western Demon Sea is the Huangjiao Continent. If there is a way to go to the Western Demon Sea, he might have the chance to return to the Huangjiao Continent.
Since he separated from Fairy Qianhuan, Li Muran has been thinking about returning to Huangjiao Continent all the time. Unfortunately, he had encountered strong enemies in succession before, and his injuries were not light, so he could only practice first and recover from his injuries.
After joining the Tianzhu Sect, Li Muran gradually recovered. Since he realized the state of mind of "the realm of heaven and me" and practiced the "Taixu Sutra" to the fifth level, his cultivation has also increased day by day. In addition, he has obtained the high-level Dark Night Technique. Over the years, Li Muran not only has his spiritual consciousness, magic power, and physical body completely recovered, but also has improved, reaching the peak state of the middle stage of the demon body.
As his cultivation level increases, his strength naturally increases. Li Muran has the power to protect himself. At this time, he naturally had the idea of trying to return to the Yellow Corner Continent.
Unfortunately, if you want to cross such a long distance, it is impossible to achieve a general teleportation array. You must use the space tunnel that already exists between heaven and earth to travel through the void and reach the vicinity of your destination.
There are very few stable and usable space tunnels. Li Muran knew that one of them could lead to the Western Demon Sea. Moreover, the Qiankun Shift Array arranged in this space tunnel was in the hands of a major force in the Xuanbian Continent.
This kind of large array requires a lot of top-quality magic crystals every time it is activated, so it is generally not easy to use.
"The Tianzhu Sect can invite so many dancers from the Western Demon Haiwa clan, so it must be the help of the Qiankun Shifting Formation! It seems that the Tianzhu Sect has a close relationship with that big force, and you can use this formation from the other party!" Li Muran said in his heart.
If Li Muran rashly asked to borrow the Qiankun Transfer Formation to use it, he would definitely be rejected by the other party; but if he could borrow it in the name of Tianzhu Sect, he might be able to use it. This is also a kind of hope for Li Muran.
Although the Tianzhu Sect is rooted in the Xuanbian Continent, it will occasionally chase targets located in the Huangjiao Continent or the Western Demon Sea. Li Muran continues to stay in the Tianzhu Sect, and may find an opportunity to return to the Huangjiao Continent as the envoy of the Tianzhu Sect.
After a lively celebration of singing and dancing, it finally came the moment when everyone was most concerned. The white bearded elder Lu of the Tianzhumen flew out from the elders of the congress and floated above everyone.
He took out a scroll with gold-edged and red-bottomed from his arms and said loudly: "After several days of careful discussion, and referring to the situation of all the colleagues in the sect completing the tasks over the past century, we and the elders of the deputies have formulated a new ranking list."
"Of course, this list is just the first draft. Anyone on the list, if he is not satisfied with his ranking, can challenge the monks who rank within the top ten, and once he wins, the challenger will win a new ranking."
"There is only one chance to challenge. Once you lose, you can't challenge other monks. All challenges must be completed within seven days. After seven days, that is, the day when the ranking ceremony ends, we will issue a formal ranking list based on the results of all challenges. This ranking list will not change within the next hundred years. There are also some detailed rules, I believe that all my fellow disciples are very clear about, so I will not elaborate on them one by one."
"The new ranking list is here. If there is anything biased, please point it out with your classmates!"
After saying that, Elder Lu shook lightly and spread the scroll in his hand.
The scroll instantly turned into about 100 meters wide and dozens of meters long, with familiar code names written from top to bottom.
The code names of the top ten are shining with bright golden light. They are all deacons and elders in the Mahayana period. Li Muran discovered that these rankings are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago, and the Night Hell is still ranked third without any changes.
Ten to twenty are dark golden names. Li Muran discovered that "Greedy" is still ranked twelfth.
The higher the ranking, the less changes are made; however, there will be many changes after the 20th place.
One of them is a rising star, who was one hundred a hundred a hundred years ago, but now he is ranked thirty-five, and he is the most amazingly progressing among all monks.
The monks looked for their code names on the list with a bit of nervousness and anticipation. Some showed satisfactory smiles, while others were worried and in a heavy mood.
"Fellow Daoist Tong, the ranking has risen by as many as five places at once, which is a great congratulation!"
"Where is where, I have only made a slight improvement. In comparison, Fellow Daoist Han has risen by more than ten places, which is amazing..."
After the ranking list was announced, the monks also began to discuss it, and it was said that some were happy and some were sad.
The ranking list was hung high in the air of the hall. Now this list can be changed. It will be finalized in seven days and will remain unchanged for a hundred years.
After a stick of incense, Elder Lu coughed lightly, reached out and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The hall immediately became quiet, and Elder Lu said: "The ranking list has been announced. If there are any objectors, you can launch a challenge!"
After saying that, he turned around and asked the deacons and elders on the high platform, "Elders, do you want to challenge?"
The elders shook their heads slightly, no one responded.
Elder Lu said: "Fellow Taoist Ye, your martial arts and magical powers are almost rarely matched at night. If you launch a challenge at night, there is great hope to go further. Fellow Taoist Ye has never fought with Feng, the two elders Tian, who have always occupied the top two years. This elder also wants to know who is stronger!"
King Ye Yan smiled slightly and shook his head: "Ye knows his strength very well, so there is no need to make a big fight!"
Elder Lu nodded slightly disappointed: "Since fellow Taoist Ye is unwilling to challenge, I will naturally not force myself! Nephew Wu, you rank eleven, which is the highest among all the Demonic Body Cultivators. I heard that you can already face Mahayana cultivators without losing a disadvantage in a short period of time. Do you want to take this opportunity to challenge the top ten Mahayana elders?"
The middle-aged monk sitting next to Li Muran stood up and replied calmly: "I dare not! The Mahayana period is far from the Demonic Body Period. I did not advance one day, and I dared not take the idea of the top ten in a day."
Elder Lu nodded and then turned his gaze to Li Muran: "Greedy little friend, although I have joined this sect for a while, I have already made a name for myself and have always killed all the sects. Even those famous heroes are still shuddering! I wonder if Greedy little friend wants to challenge and further improve the ranking?"
Li Muran also stood up and bowed: "No need, I am very satisfied with the current ranking!"
After Li Muran stood up, many low-pitched discussions suddenly came from behind. In recent years, the name of Greedy Me suddenly rose, and the act of killing all the targets for free has caused a sensation in the cultivation world of most of the Xuanbian Continent. Most of the people have never seen Greedy Me, and they guessed that Greedy Me must be a vicious and bloodthirsty person. Unexpectedly, when they saw this, they were just an ordinary young monk with a middle-level demon body, a look of unrespectable appearance, and even a bit of scholarly aura.
Elder Lu nodded and did not persuade him. He continued to ask the next monk.
The next few monks had no objection to their rankings and did not issue any challenges.
For monks who are ranked very high, their status and salary are already very high. If you want to change the ranking, you need to challenge some extremely powerful masters. It is difficult to decide the outcome of these masters. Even if you win by chance, you are afraid that you will have to pay a considerable price. Therefore, unless you are quite sure, you will not dare to challenge them easily.
