After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 501 Holy List!

"Your subordinate greets the envoy of God."

In the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, Zhou Xuan, dressed in a black official robe, saluted towards Jiang Che with a solemn expression, as if he had encountered something big.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Zhou Xuan's expression, Jiang Che frowned slightly, thinking that there was some unrest in Yuezhou again.

"Reporting to the Divine Envoy, the Suzaku Division has just received an order from the Black Ya Headquarters to distribute this item to all prefectures in the three states of the Southern Region before the day after tomorrow. I think something big is about to happen."

Zhou Xuan said this and quickly handed a stack of cloth from between his sleeves to Jiang Che.

Jiang Che was confused by what he saw, because each department of the Black Ya had a rare treasure for communication. If there was any order from the headquarters, he would be the first person to know.

After all, after he returned, Zhou Xuan returned the rare treasure to him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che immediately spread out the cloth presented by Zhou Xuan. When he saw the contents clearly, his pupils shrank instantly, and he was obviously quite shocked.

It was because there were four very conspicuous big words on the cloth.

"Supreme Holy List!"

That is to say, the last list of the martial arts list has been announced.

Before this, that is, before he participated in the Martial Realm Battle, he learned that the court would set up three lists, and after he won the first place in the Martial Realm, the Qianlong Martial List and the Fengyun Martial List were announced one after another.

It was because of this that he became a prominent figure in the underworld at that time.

As time goes by, more than half a year has passed, and the credibility of the two lists has been recognized by martial artists. Nowadays, the most important things in martial arts are a person's potential and strength.

It means which column you are ranked in the martial arts list.

For example, after the Battle of Yangping Pass, he was ranked third on the Fengyun Martial Arts List, and immediately became a world-renowned figure. He was praised as a god, a martial saint, and many other titles.

It brought him great fame.

However, among the martial arts lists, the most important Supreme Martial Arts List has never been announced.

Jiang Che had discussed this matter with Chen Qingfang at the beginning, and knew that it was because the court was concerned about the powerful martial saints in the world, so it would find a suitable time to launch it.

After all, almost every person at the level of Martial Saint is able to stir up the world, and he is also the ancestor of a clan and the supreme leader of a sect, so he has a long lifespan.

There are many old monsters who have lived from the founding of the country to the present.

They practice in seclusion and do not care about worldly affairs all year round, just like Qi Yuan, the ancestor of the Qi family, who rarely appears in the world. This is why the world today is almost dominated by Yuanshen Venerables.

But now, the imperial court has listed the Martial Saint of Central Plains on the list.

Could something have happened?

After all, now doesn't seem to be a very good time.

Jiang Che's eyes swept across the cloth and he quickly saw the eighteen Martial Saints listed therein. He felt a lot of doubt in his heart because there were so many people on it.

He had never even heard of it.

Of course, there were some people among them that he had seen before.

For example, Ji Chengdao is ranked second on the Supreme Saint List, known as the Godly King of Backers, and is the fourth son of the tenth emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some of Ji Chengdao's deeds are listed above.

However, the list set by the imperial court ranked Ji Chengdao second, which was obviously for the sake of credibility. After all, there was a consensus in the world about the strength of Ji Chengdao, the God of Backers.

He is definitely one of the top beings in the world.

But no one had a clear idea of ​​how strong he was. But now with the list he had set, he ranked himself second without hesitation.

At the same time, he is actually number one on the Holy List.

Because the first place on the Supreme Martial List is left vacant.

The above even gave the reason, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Only the one recognized by the world is the first martial saint and the best in the world. Jiang Che cannot refute this point.

The third on the Martial Saint List is a stranger, a Buddhist, who is introduced as the leader of the Four Great Bodhisattvas of the Great Leiyin Temple, Bodhisattva Ranchen.

Fourth on the Martial Saint List is the leader of the Qingtian Sect, Duan Yuntian.

Ranked fifth on the list of Martial Saints, he is also one of the Buddhist Bodhisattvas, with an invincible golden body, Sumeru Bodhisattva.

Sixth on the Martial Saint List, Xuanyuan River, the True Lord of the Sea of ​​Tianjian Mountain.

Seventh on the Martial Saint List, the Grand Elder of Wuji Palace, Feng Wuji.

Ranked eighth on the list of Martial Saints, he is the King of Beidi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was granted the title of Yujiang.

Ranked tenth on the Martial Saint List, the Lord of Shenghai City, Xiang Yuan.

Among the top ten people on the Martial Saint List, two of them are from the Buddhist sect, which makes Jiang Che shocked. He could only say that they are worthy of being the number one sect in the Central Plains. Among them, people like Xumilu, Xuanyuanhe, Feng Wuji, etc. are all people Jiang Che has never heard of.

As for Qi family's ancestor Qi Yuan, he was not even on the list. Only the national teacher Yao Yue was listed as the sixteenth on the Supreme Saint List, which shows the value of the Supreme Martial Saint List.

But soon, Jiang Che focused his eyes and saw a line of small words under the cloth. Judging from the above situation, there were only a total of eighteen Martial Saints listed.

According to the intelligence gathered by Hei Ya, it does not cover all the powerful people in the world.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Che seemed to be thinking about something. Judging from the above situation, the people listed by Heiya were just inferences, not real strength.

There are still many old monsters in the world.

If you can defeat someone on the list, you can be directly listed on it like the Fengyun List 2.

For example, he was curious about the fact that the Taishang Bajing Palace, one of the five great immortal gates, had no one ranked in the top ten. Was this reasonable? Without top strength, how could it be called an immortal gate?

Jiang Che could see that the imperial court wanted to stir up some trouble, but the problem was that the old Martial Saint had practiced for so many years, would he be so easily moved by a list?
As for the value of this Supreme Martial Saint List, Jiang Che felt that the top ten might not be a problem. After all, those on it might be the world-recognized top powerhouses, but after the top ten, the accuracy might not be so good.

It would be fine if the ancestor of the Guo family couldn't get a seat, but the ancestor of the Qi family was obviously extraordinary. He estimated that the other party's strength was not even inferior to Yao Yue.

But it still failed to be included in the Holy List, and the reason is obvious.

"Angel?"

Seeing Jiang Che in deep thought for a long time, Zhou Xuan called out softly.

"Um"

After opening his eyes, Jiang Che returned the cloth in his hand to Zhou Xuan and said:
"Since this is an order from the Black Ya Headquarters, there can be no discount. They must be dispersed to the three states in the Southern Region before the day after tomorrow." "Yes, I obey your command."

"Go down."

Jiang Che waved his hand and subconsciously held the communication treasure in his hand, wanting to ask Ji Chengdao, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Since Ji Chengdao did this, there must be a reason.

Even if he asked, he probably wouldn't be told.

It would be better to go and ask in person after arriving at Shenghai City.
"This supreme list of the God King has really put this city lord in a difficult position." Inside Shenghai City, on top of a mountain, the city lord Xiang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a look of helplessness on his face.

Once the Martial Saint List is released, it will surely attract criticism from all over the world, and Shenghai City will inevitably become one of the centers of public opinion. Although he is not afraid of this, he does not want to get involved.

Ji Chengdao looked calm, his python robe fluttering in the wind. He looked at the endless sea in the distance and said softly:
"The strength of City Lord Xiang is well known to the world. If you are not included in it, how much value can this Martial Saint List have? Moreover, City Lord Xiang is a disciple of Mr. Jiang, so I know how strong he is.

Ranked tenth on the Saint List, well-deserved, or perhaps underestimated."

Xiang Yuan glanced at Ji Chengdao from the corner of his eye, and after a moment of silence, he changed the subject:

"The God King ranked the two Bodhisattvas of Buddhism in the top five, which is actually the fourth. Could it be that he wants to deal with Buddhism?"

"This king never targets anyone, it's just that the Buddhist sect wants to be in the world, but likes to hide his incompetence, so this king will help him."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but a list of supreme masters alone is probably not enough to stir up the hearts of martial saints in the world to compete for supremacy."

Ji Chengdao's brows twitched slightly:
"Who said that I intend to mobilize the heroes of the world by relying on a list?"

"Then this is you."

"It is nothing more than completing the last list while I am still in the world, so that this thing will not be released for decades. Those who are interested will take action, and those who are not interested will remain indifferent even if I rank it first."

Xiang Yuan stared at Ji Chengdao, and at this moment he had a thought that he could not see through. Originally, he had compared himself to Ji Chengdao, but based on what he saw today, it seemed that the superiority of both parties had been determined.

Then he said no more.

On September 12, in the 13th year of Yuankang in the Great Zhou Dynasty, another piece of news that shocked the world after the battles at the northern border and Yangping Pass appeared. With the appearance of the Supreme Saint List, a huge wave was set off throughout the world almost instantly.

Thanks to Hei Ya's advance preparation, the Martial Saint List was listed in all twelve states of the Great Zhou, from Shenghai City in Haizhou in the east to Yangping Pass in Yuezhou in the south to Youliang Border in the north.

Many warriors who had no idea about this suddenly understood what this list meant after someone introduced it to them.

As everyone knows, the Holy Realm is the last realm, and the Martial Saints on the Holy List are the strong men recognized by the court. The second on the Martial Saint List is the second in the world.

The tenth on the Holy List means the tenth in the world.

In comparison, lists like the Fengyun List and the Qianlong List are far inferior to the newly released Martial Saint List in terms of fame.

And with such great reputation, there will naturally be a lot of discussion.

Because in the minds of many people who are ignorant of the world, each of them has his own number one in the world. With the court listing them in this way, doesn't it help to distinguish who is better?
Many people were even more frightened, speculating that a great war was about to break out.

After all, when the Hidden Dragon List and the Wind and Cloud List were first released, they caused quite a stir in the martial arts world, and many rankings would be replaced every once in a while.

What would happen if the Martial Saint also fought?
Some people are happy about this, some are afraid, and some are waiting for the world to fall into chaos.

However, to the disappointment of many people, since the Martial Saint List came out, no Martial Saint has raised any objection to the list, whether it is those who are on the list or those who are not.

All of them remained silent, as if this so-called Martial Saint List did not arouse their interest at all.

And just as the martial arts world was in turmoil and everyone was discussing the list of the Supreme Martial Saint, a dragon sedan pulled by four dragons set out from Yuezhou City and headed straight for Shenghai City.

Jiang Che had actually anticipated some of the movements in the martial arts world.

After all, if it were him, he would not have made any reaction regardless of whether he was on the Holy List or not. He was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. How could he still care about a little false reputation?
He just felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind Ji Chengdao's actions.

For this reason, his departure was not delayed for long. He simply delegated some matters of Yuezhou to his subordinates again, and after several serious exchanges with the women around him, he went to Shenghai City alone.

The reason why he was said to be alone was because Jiang Che did not even bring Ao Kun and the Red Blood Demon Lord with him.

Ao Kun has now made great contributions and has gotten rid of the identity of a mount. It would be almost useless to have him follow him. It would be better for him to be a combat force at the level of a Venerable and obey Zhao Xianzhi's orders.

The Red Blood Demon Lord is even simpler.

He and Qing Feng had just reunited not long ago, and they were in a state of great excitement. There was no need to keep her around. Moreover, he was now fully concentrating on mobilizing Yuezhou's human and material resources to refine his body, and he couldn't get away.

With the real dragon blood taken from Ao Zhen, the third prince of Dragon Palace, the Red Blood Demon Lord was one step closer to the path of body refining. In addition, Jiang Che specially ordered to allow the Red Blood Demon Lord to mobilize all the resources of Yuezhou. Jiang Che even felt that with some of the secret methods of the Red Blood Demon Lord, even if he lacked some spiritual objects, he might be able to refine a suitable body.

In addition, there is Qingqing.

Originally, Jiang Che had promised the other party that he would take her to travel around the Central Plains, but now he has important things to do. When he couldn't figure out Ji Chengdao's purpose, Jiang Che felt that it was safest for Qingqing to stay in Yuezhou.

Of course, the other party is not boring either.

With Qi Ningbing's deliberate friendship, Qingqing is now like a fish in water in Yuezhou, and the two girls get along very well. It doesn't make much difference whether he is with her or not.

Several days have passed.

Four dragon roars resounded outside the Holy Sea City. The huge dragon body spanned the sky and the earth. The extremely noble dragon chariot was even more dazzling, attracting countless gazes to look towards the void.

There was a lot of discussion below, and everyone was shocked.

They thought it was the old monster Martial Saint who had been in seclusion for many years and came out to Shenghai City specifically to challenge Xiang Yuan. After all, who below the Martial Saint could afford four dragons to pull a carriage?

Even the emperor does not have such power.

Inside the dragon chariot, Jiang Che sat with his eyes closed, holding a rare communication treasure in his hand, transferring a trace of magic power into it. Then, he stayed quietly outside the Holy Sea City.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Jiang Che, who was inside the dragon sedan, seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly opened his eyes, then waved his hand to open the golden curtain. Outside the dragon sedan stood a majestic figure in a python robe.

The four dragons were all trembling with fear and dared not make a sound.

"Your subordinate Jiang Che."

Before Jiang Che finished speaking, he saw Ji Chengdao, who was standing in the void, turn his gaze towards him and said calmly:
"Little Princess Ji Chengdao greets Lord Wu'an."

Why! ! !
Isn't this the opposite of Tian Gang?
Looking at Jiang Che's shocked reaction, Ji Chengdao smiled.
