Chapter 1397 Dragon Burial Ruins
Chapter 1397 Dragon Burial Ruins
Fourth top three
Ning Xiaoyao was totally unable to understand why Zhang Jingchu took such a mere change in ranking so seriously, which was far more serious than when he had previously tricked a powerful Immortal of the Fourth Level.
At the same time, he felt increasingly worried about the announcement of the Hidden Dragon List of All Worlds.
After all, his fellow disciples in the Dao Realm only knew that he had just broken through the Dharma Realm. Only a few knew that he had the physique to practice both martial arts and magic, so they guessed that he had achieved a double breakthrough in the Dharma Realm and the Apocalypse Realm.
This speed of progress, under the shining light of Xue Wuxia's enchanting talent, although he can be called a genius, will not attract too much attention.
And he also possesses the aura of genius, so the allocation and supply of resources also allow him to receive excellent training and improvement.
For Ning Xiaoyao, this is just the right position where he is not in the spotlight but his status is not too low either.
However, this damn Hidden Dragon List completely exposed it!!!
Don't underestimate the fact that he is ranked 73rd. If you compare him with the people behind him, especially Ling Donglai, who is also called a genius but is in the last era, the other party participated in the transaction of the Desperate Pawn Shop.
Moreover, he gained some insights in the battle with Hei Shisan, but with such talent and potential, he is only ranked 85th.
Then it is somewhat thought-provoking that Ning Xiaoyao, who was ranked 73rd, could suddenly appear in this position.
First of all, it is certain that having just achieved the level of Dharma and Apocalypse in martial arts and magic, it is absolutely impossible for him to be ranked in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List.
In fact, taking Situ Zhong, who ranked 94th, as an example, he is relatively old, but he is not at the end of the hundred years old. He has reached the late stage of the Dharma Realm, and with the blessing of the Dionysus Mantra he has studied, he can exert combat power comparable to the second level of the pseudo-domain.
This judging standard has already been determined. Unless someone is a kid under ten years old like Ouyang Xiaotao, who has just entered the Dharma Realm, he or she will not be qualified to be included in the list.
This also made Ning Xiaoyao feel vaguely uneasy.
Because working backwards, the bonus on his age would not necessarily make him equal to Situ Zhong in terms of combat power, but he is twenty places higher than Situ Zhong in ranking. This addition and subtraction would at least allow enemies who are eyeing him to directly lock onto his combat power. Even if he is weaker than Situ Zhong, the difference would not be much.
You should know that the strength Ning Xiaoyao has always disclosed to the outside world is just that of a rookie who has just broken through the Dharma Realm.
He was judged by Yi Yue to have reached the second level of pseudo-domain, which is an invincible level beyond the Dharma Realm, and has the ability to fight with strong men who have just entered the Tianyan Realm to a certain extent. The gap in combat power is extremely large.
If there are those who are hostile to it, it will never send a Dharma Realm cultivator to deliver food. The one sent out is at least in the middle stage of the Tian Yan Realm, and a strong man who has at least reached the second level of the domain!
"Ahhhhh! I'm so annoyed!"
Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoyao began to scratch his head!
Zhang Jingchu, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became cheerful when he saw the other person like this.
After a night of deceiving Yan Junmu and chatting nonsense with Ning Xiaoyao, he also figured out some of his personality traits.
The most obvious point is the indescribable lack of security surrounding them.
The other party has a vague kind of exaggerated persecution delusion, which can also be regarded as a fear of insufficient firepower. On the one hand, he is trying to become stronger, and on the other hand, he hopes that not too many people will pay attention to him.
There is a certain conflict between these two points.
Because when you are in a certain force, the shortcut to becoming stronger is to show your potential, so that you can get a lot of resources for training. If you just keep hiding, your cultivation will stagnate.
Ning Xiaoyao now grasps one of the subtle scales.
That is, the potential is high enough, but under the halo of Xue Wuxia, it is not too outrageous. It is like a small sapling nestled against the big tree of Xue Wuxia, quietly absorbing nutrients and growing vigorously. However, even if it grows dense branches, it will be covered by the shadow of Xue Wuxia's crown.
This stability makes him feel at ease.
But this time, with the announcement of the Hidden Dragon List of All Worlds, he could no longer live in peace.
The figure and appearance of each person on it will be announced to the Thirty-three Heavens, and to every world that has been connected with the Ten Thousand Worlds. Even though the Hidden Dragon List is refreshed every month, most of the time the changes in ranking are not noticeable.
One-third of the names on the list are new this time, and this abnormal situation will also make each person on the list receive more attention.
"Jiejiejiejiejiejiejie~"
Hearing the strange laughter coming from his ear, Ning Xiaoyao just wanted to rush up with a big punch.
Zhang Jingchu is no longer concerned about his ranking. Although he is still very sad and angry about not being in the top three, he has also found more interesting things to do.
"I have some very interesting news for you."
Ning Xiaoyao shuddered subconsciously. The malice that was coming towards him made him want to stop the other party, but he also felt that what the other party was going to say next was very important.
So he chose to remain silent.
Zhang Jingchu chuckled a few more times and continued.
"The Hidden Dragon List is so famous, do you think there will be people who are jealous and hate those on the list? Especially for the geniuses on the list, it is like a mountain that their former fellow disciples have always weighed on their hearts. In addition, most of the people on the list have some special physiques.
Although physical fitness can be formed through some opportunities, how many people on the list will be so lucky to achieve breakthroughs while cultivating and completing physical fitness evolution at the same time during the hundred years of the Potential Dragon List? "
"Be more direct!" As a qualified person in the Dao of Survival, Ning Xiaoyao had related ideas after knowing the existence of the List of Hidden Dragons in All Realms.
After all, human nature cannot be underestimated.
For example, in the Shanhai Realm, there have been cases of assassinating geniuses from other forces.
For example, among the Taoists and Buddhists throughout the ages, at least one third died prematurely for inexplicable reasons. As for the truth, in the era when the Great Xuan Dynasty dominated the entire world, some facts were naturally buried in the dust of history.
As for the Nine Heavens Taoist Palace and the Ten Thousand Borders Buddhist Kingdom behind the Taoist Realm and the Buddhist Land, they naturally would not care about such a small matter.
In a world with a score of less than 80, the Taoists and Buddhists elected there may not even be qualified to become outer disciples of these two major forces.
The former Taoist realm and Buddhist land were just seeds that these two major forces freely spread to all worlds.
For example, in the conversation with Zhang Jingchu yesterday, Ning Xiaoyao knew that among the branch forces that were truly valued by the Jiutian Dao Palace, there were more clear and strict assessment standards, which were uniformly named Ascension Platform.
Once you step inside, you will enter a trial world controlled by the Jiutian Dao Palace for timely scoring.
Candidates who meet the required scores will directly join the Jiutian Dao Palace and become one of its outer disciples.
As for their small Taoist domain, let alone the Ascension Platform, only the Palace Masters of the Taoist Palaces of all generations have the opportunity to communicate directly with the Jiutian Taoist Palace, and the number of times is limited.
It's really the case that my grandma doesn't love me and my uncle doesn't care about me.
However, the next Dao Realm should usher in a real transformation.
But these are not the issues that Ning Xiaoyao is concerned about now.
"The first force that specializes in hunting down members on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is called Zanglongxu."
However, Zhang Jingchu's first sentence confused him.
"The first one? You mean there's a second, third, and fourth one?"
Zhang Jingchu nodded and shook his head.
"There are indeed many similar forces, including the Five Directions Heavenly Court, which also has an organization secretly targeting the Hidden Dragon List and the Heavenly Pride List. However, for you, there are only two that you need to pay attention to at the moment."
"It's just the Five Heavens."
Ning Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows. He did not hear Chan Hui's explanation to Hei Tathagata and Zhishan. When explaining the relevant issues, the other party only mentioned the Five Heavenly Palaces. But it was obvious that both the Nine Heavenly Taoist Palace and the Ten Thousand Borders Buddhist Kingdom could not have been without some actions in secret.
Zhang Jingchu simply skipped over this question.
He seems reckless sometimes, but he knows very well what to say and what not to say.
He directly jumped to the topic of Dragon Burial Ruins, and said with some emotion on his face.
“Regarding the origin of the Buried Dragon Ruins, it is rumored that the first owner of the ruins who established this organization was originally a vinegar brewer. However, because his daughter wet her clothes when she passed tea to a passing Tianjiao on the list, the Tianjiao casually chopped off his head with a sword, which aroused his desire for revenge.
In the process, he gathered members who also had hatred, anger, jealousy, and murderous intentions towards the so-called genius, and unexpectedly built the Dragon Blood Pool, thereby focusing on the twisted obsession of mortals towards the genius, and successfully building a grassroots counterattack hunting ecology. "
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be so calm about such a horrific thing!"
Zhang Jingchu laughed again and continued preaching.
"It is said that the rock wall of the Dragon Blood Pool is engraved with crooked curses, among which there are ten large characters to express the determination of the members to join the Dragon Burial Ruins, namely: "I would rather be a lackey in the ruins than envy the dragons in the clouds."
The reason why this organization has the capital to enable mortals to defeat the geniuses is because it has a unique and twisted promotion system within it. I am not sure about the details, but the methods include root bone grafting, qi growth and organ transplantation.
At the same time, they also have three killer moves, namely the Dragon-Breaking Incense that can be used to trap the members on the list, the Fortune-Guaning Array that can suppress or even temporarily deprive them of their physical bonuses, and the Weeping Tomb Curse that can have a killing effect on them.
These specific intelligence are classified as confidential.”
Ning Xiaoyao rolled his eyes at Zhang Jingchu. The other party did not tell him how to use the three killer moves specifically, which was obviously intended to arouse his curiosity. He now felt as if ants were crawling all over his body and was very uncomfortable.
After all, for a man like him who lives in the realm of concealment, hiding his own combat power information and investigating the combat power information of the enemy are all part of his instinct, and saying half of it and hiding the other half makes him feel insecure.
Just when he was about to ask in detail, he saw Zhang Jingchu, who had been laughing sinisterly, put on an extremely serious attitude.
"The second force is called the Fate-Defying Mirror Gallery."
Suddenly, Ning Xiaoyao's heart beat faster because the name of this force was very strange. Compared with Zanglongxu, a force that directly targeted the Hidden Dragon List, this strange name made him feel even more uneasy.
And the next sentence confirmed his guess.
"The true master of this force has not yet been discovered. In other words, the master of this force is likely not a life race or intelligent race that we know of."
"Then what is the purpose of this force's existence?"
"I don't know." Zhang Jingchu shook his head. "With my authority, I am not qualified to know the secrets, but I have encountered hunters sent by the Fate-Defying Mirror Gallery."
Having said this, Zhang Jingchu paused, and his expression seemed to become more solemn as he recalled the past.
"What happens next?"
Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Ning Xiaoyao subconsciously lowered his voice when asking questions.
"Then I met another me, a me from another branch timeline who had exactly the same combat power as me, but seemed to have been deprived of any human emotions and could only be reduced to a puppet."
"So how did you win in the end? Or did you wait for a strong person to help you?"
"I have broken through a realm, and my control over the domain has also deepened. As a result, I was able to kill the other me before it could transform."
Zhang Jingchu said this calmly, but Ning Xiaoyao could still feel how dangerous it was.
Moreover, the other branch timeline speculated by the other party made him feel even more uneasy.
There is also a method of victory, which is a dangerous path that requires one to transcend oneself under the pressure of death.
Then he heard Zhang Jingchu say again.
"It was also because of the victory in that battle that I was able to move up from the original tenth place in the Hidden Dragon ranking to the first place. I could feel that the second place at that time was still quite far behind me."
Zhang Jingchu's feeling was by no means an illusion, because when Qin Fan and others first appeared on the list, Yue Piaoling had not surpassed Zhang Jingchu until he refined the earth seed of the Divine Mud of Creation and then he was able to overtake them.
From this we can see that Zhang Jingchu was unique on the Hidden Dragon List at that time.
His words left Ning Xiaoyao speechless.
"You're talking as if the other party is intentionally giving you the opportunity."
"If you win, it's an opportunity, but if you fail, you will die. It's a doomed death that even a saint cannot resurrect you by turning back time." When Zhang Jingchu was not laughing weirdly, his serious face was still able to calm people down.
At least for now, Ning Xiaoyao was completely frightened by the aura he displayed.
"Originally, I was not the number one person in this generation of Jiutian Dao Palace."
He stopped talking halfway through.
Ning Xiaoyao was naturally aware of the second half of the sentence that he had not finished.
That is, the former number one person died at the hands of the organization called the Mirror Corridor of the Anti-Fate, and that number one person also had a close relationship with a saint of the Jiutian Taoist Palace, otherwise the other party would not have personally tried to resurrect him.
At the same time, after this attempt, it was further confirmed that the other party was doomed to die, as well as the mystery and great threat posed by the organization Mirror Corridor of Fate.
Compared with this, the Dragon Burial Ruins mentioned earlier is as weak and vulnerable as a child.
Of course, for Ning Xiaoyao, both the Dragon Burial Ruins and the Fate-Defying Mirror Corridor are powerful opponents that he cannot resist.
"Aaaaaaah! Can I be taken off this list?!"
Watching Zhang Jingchu continue to laugh strangely and shake his head, Ning Xiaoyao already knew the answer, which made him even more crazy. (End of this chapter)
