Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The appearance of the Divine Weapon Rankings alarmed the entire Great Xia Dynasty again. Countless people stopped to look and discussed fervently.

The various large sects and large family clans were also filled with anticipation. They hoped that their sect’s cornerstone divine weapons could enter the rankings.

They roughly had the rankings of these famous divine weapons in mind.

For example, the Immortal Sword of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, the Three Purities Sword, was the most famous divine weapon in the Grand Xia Dynasty.

This was widely recognized by the various large sects, so everyone knew that the Three Purities Sword had a high chance of obtaining the top spot.

Of course, besides the Three Purities Sword, there was also the divine weapon of the Great Xia Dynasty’s imperial family—the Tianwen Sword.

The Sky Water Sword of the Heavenly Water Pavilion, the Lingxu Sword of the Great Sky Dao Sect, the Frozen Water Sword of the Zhu family, the Titanic Crescent Heavy Sword of the Five Elements Sect, and so on.

These divine weapons were already well-known. They should make the rankings.

Naturally, everyone expected the Divine Weapon Rankings to expose unknown divine weapons.

This was what everyone was looking forward to.

If some ownerless divine weapons were revealed, it would be an immense opportunity for the various large factions.

“I didn’t expect a new ranking to appear so soon!” Perfected Yu Hua was also quite surprised.

“It’s finally our sect’s turn to enter the top three on the Divine Weapon Rankings!”

“Yeah, Sect Master’s Three Purities Sword has high hopes of becoming the top on the rankings!” Elder Taiwu and Elder Gu Ming grinned.

“Don’t be too happy yet. Perhaps there might be an unnamed divine weapon!” Perfected Yu Hua remarked, but he was naturally looking forward to it.

After all, this was the closest he had come to the top of the rankings. It was also his best chance.

“But at least we’ll be in the top three. After all, our sect master has an immortal sword!”

“Hmm, I hope so!”

“The first divine weapon has appeared!” Just as Perfected Yu Hua, Elder Taiwu, and the others were speaking, someone shouted.

The first name appeared on the Divine Weapon Rankings.

Divine Weapon Rankings # 20: Golden Scale Sword

Current Owner: Wei Canghou

Origin: Wei Family of Qi Prefecture

Reward: Natural Spirit Herb—One Scarlet Yang Fruit

“The rewards for the Divine Weapon Rankings are pretty good!”

“Yeah, to think that the last place would be rewarded with a natural spirit herb. Then the reward for the first place would probably be an immortal herb!”

“That’s possible. The top three on the Physique Rankings are all immortal spells. This Divine Weapon Rankings must be pretty good too!”

The Scarlet Yang Fruit was a natural spirit herb, a priceless treasure that could only be encountered by chance.

Not only could it increase one’s lifespan, but it could also improve one’s physique and improve one’s cultivation. It was highly beneficial.

It was also a precious herb used to refine top-grade spirit pills.

Any one of the natural spirit herbs was priceless. Even a large sect like the Jade Pure Dao Sect could count the number of natural spiritual herbs they possessed with one hand.

It was clear how precious this natural herb was.

Divine Weapon Ranking # 19: Meteor Hammer

Current Owner: Taigang

Origin: Star Dou Sect

Reward: Natural Spirit Herb—Star Tears Fruit

Divine Weapon Ranking # 18: Gale Axe

Current Owner: Demonic Ape of Mount Kui

Origin: Kui Mountain Demon Valley

Reward: Natural Spirit Herb—Wild Spirit Plant

“Oh heavens, even a greater demon’s weapon can be on the list!”

“This Divine Weapon Ranking isn’t only limited to humans!”

“Oh no, this isn’t good news. Wouldn’t these greater demons be able to use the Heavenly Dao Rankings to improve their strength?!”

“That might not be the case. Those creatures are probably not far from their deaths!”

“That’s right. In the past, the large factions could not be bothered to waste resources eliminating these greater demons. However, with the Heavenly Dao Rankings, it’s a different story. Obtaining this divine weapon means that you can obtain the Heavenly Dao’s reward every month. The various large factions will snatch this Gale Axe and kill this demon in turns!”

“That’s right. This greater demon is probably trembling now! He might be preparing to make a run for it!”

People discussed.

However, what appeared next on the Heavenly Dao Rankings stunned countless people.

Divine Weapon Ranking # 17: Tiger Soul Saber

Original Owner: Wolf King Tharman

Current Owner: Li Yu

Origin: Qingyun Sect

Reward: Natural Spirit Herb—Profound Life Fruit

The instant the 17th place appeared, the entire Dao Seeking Square, Nan’an City, Jing Prefecture, and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty were astounded.

Eyes of disbelief looked at each other.

Tiger Soul Saber!

The original owner was Wolf King Tharman.

The current owner was Li Yu.

Wolf King Tharman’s saber was in Li Yu’s possession.

What did this mean?

“…”

Countless people were in an uproar!

“Why is Wolf King Tharman’s saber in Li Yu’s hand?”

“Could it be a gift from the Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch to Li Yu?”

“What’s the relationship between the Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch and Li Yu?”

“Could that Patriarch of the Five Elements Sect be Li Yu?”

“What are you guys thinking? Why must you link Li Yu to the Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch?!”

“Then could it be that Li Yu killed the Wolf King? That mysterious expert is Li Yu? How is that possible!?”

“It can’t be, right? How old is Li Yu? No matter how strong he is, it’s impossible for him to kill the Wolf King and defeat the Wolf King’s army of hundreds of thousands! Moreover, the Netherworld Demon Sect was eradicated by a mysterious expert, so how could Li Yu possibly have such strength!?”

“Yeah, that’s impossible. Li Yu must be related to the Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch. Perhaps his master is also the Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch!”

Countless people were shocked, but they still could not believe that Li Yu had killed the Wolf King Tharman.

After all, the level of knowledge limited people’s imagination, and the lies of the Five Elements Sect directed their thoughts.

Many people began to speculate about various possibilities.

Yet, they refused to believe that the actual situation was as simple as they had witnessed.

In the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Perfected Yu Hua, Elder Taiwu, and the others were also shocked when they saw the details regarding the seventeenth place.

“Wolf King Tharman’s saber is in Li Yu’s hand. Does this mean Li Yu is that mysterious expert?”

“This… this is ridiculous!”

They were never convinced that killing the Wolf King and eliminating the Netherworld Demon Sect was the doing of the Five Elements Sect’s Ancestor.

However, compared to the lies of the Five Elements Sect, this idea seemed even more unbelievable.

“Or maybe… Li Yu’s master? We’ve never seen this person before, but he nurtured a monstrous genius like Li Yu. Perhaps he’s that mysterious expert!”

“Yeah, that’s possible. If Li Yu’s master gave the Wolf King’s saber to Li Yu to use, that explains it!”

“Looks like there’s a need to visit Qingyun Sect to meet their sect master!”

At the same time, Zhu Xiaotian had an expression as ugly as one could imagine.

After the Divine Weapon Rankings appeared in advance, his heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley.

The seventeenth place that appeared seconds ago threw his heart out of the nine heavens and smashed it into the ground before it was galloped by ten thousand horses.

“Li Yu? How could it be Li Yu?!” Zhu Xiaotian would never have thought that the mysterious expert was Li Yu.

He had thought that the mysterious expert was some other hidden expert.

Even if the Divine Weapon Rankings could reveal the real one behind the destruction of the Netherworld Demon Sect, no one should know who he was, and Zhu Xiaotian’s lie would be safe.

However, he had never imagined that this mysterious expert was actually Li Yu.

Nor did he expect Wolf King Tharman’s saber to be on the Divine Weapon Rankings.

If that was the case, his lies would probably be exposed!
