Jiang He demonstrated formidable power in the Battle of Zijin Mountain, severely injuring Li Kuangxiu and forcing him to his death. Subsequently, he joined forces with Dongfang Sheng to suppress Gu Tianqiong.

This was the basis for his entry into the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.

The original tenth-ranked Nangong Lie was ousted due to his lack of recent achievements. Similarly, Dongfang Sheng suffered the same fate, being directly pushed down the list.

Logically, with his strength, entering the top ten should have been no problem.

However, the ranking system of the Dengxian Tower heavily relies on battle records. If he had engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Gu Tianqiong, the outcome would have been uncertain. But he valued his life too much and was unwilling to fight to the death.

This resulted in him being forced into a disadvantageous position. Had Jiang He not intervened later, he would have been defeated outright.

Therefore, he is currently ranked eleventh by the Dengxian Tower.

The twelfth position is held by the Prince of Zhennan, Nangong Lie.

Similarly, the fact that Feng Yuan Daoren of Kunlun Mountain could directly suppress Song Yingqiao, who wielded a Celestial Weapon, almost suffocating him, was the most important reason for him to directly enter the top five of the Heaven Ranking.

Tianxu Daoren’s suppression of Sima Che with a wave of his hand also earned him a spot in the top ten.

Ranking thirteenth is the Lingshan Jishi Bodhisattva, also known as the Qitian Dasheng of the Hunkun Demon Ape clan. Originally, apart from National Preceptor Puxian and the renowned Manjusri Bodhisattva, he and Bhaisajyaguru Buddha were not included on the Heaven Ranking.

But his participation in this great battle changed that.

Manjusri gained fame in the Central Plains for his involvement in the previous war that destroyed the former Chu dynasty. They, on the other hand, were included in the Heaven Ranking due to their participation in the Battle of Zijin Mountain.

His ranking is based on his battle record against Lingxu Daoren.

Honestly, if it weren't for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, it's uncertain whether Lingxu could have suppressed him. But since the record is there, he was ranked thirteenth.

The Supreme Heaven Ranking compiled by the Dengxian Tower is not based on pure strength, but primarily on battle records. After all, everyone might have hidden abilities, and the Dengxian Tower can't test them all individually.

This is the only way.

If based purely on hard power, Chen Yuan wouldn't actually be able to achieve the fourth position in the world, and Jiang He wouldn't be able to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking either.

Ranking fourteenth is National Preceptor Puxian, who almost killed Chu Changfeng. Compared to before, his ranking hasn't actually changed much, still at this level.

Fifteenth is Feng Jiuge, the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace.

She has also been squeezed down the rankings.

Sixteenth is Bhaisajyaguru Buddha.

Seventeenth is Monk Xuyan. His strength is still unknown, but he was able to make the list because he single-handedly held off National Preceptor Puxian for a period of time in the end, without falling behind.

Eighteenth is Zhao Danqing, who dropped seven or eight places directly due to his unremarkable battle record.

Nineteenth is Song Yingqiao of Wudang Mountain. His strength isn't actually that bad, but his battle record is too ugly, being suppressed so miserably by Feng Yuan Daoren while wielding the Zhenwu Immortal Sword.

His ranking naturally couldn't be high.

Twentieth is Qingxu Daoren of Mount Shu.

Twenty-first is the Old Ancestor of the Gu family.

Twenty-second is Lu Guangsheng of Liangshan.

Twenty-third is the Valley Master of Dongshan Valley in Nanzhou.

....

Ranking thirty-sixth is the newly advanced Yang God Chu Changfeng. Although he suffered the most, nearly falling, he did block Puxian Bodhisattva for a period of time.

Therefore, after deliberation by the Dengxian Tower, he was placed at the bottom of the Heaven Ranking.

In the words of many Jianghu martial artists, this change in the Heaven Ranking is almost the biggest in nearly a hundred years, but also the most interesting.

It has led countless people to comment on the Supreme Heaven Ranking, saying who's ranking is too low, who's is inflated, or who they've never heard of before is ranked so high.

The hype hasn't died down.

But this is only to cater to a portion of the middle and lower-level martial artists.

In reality, for the true Jun, the ranking on the Supreme Heaven Ranking can only serve as an important reference and shouldn't be taken too seriously. If you do take it seriously, you will definitely die miserably in the future.

After all, who can guarantee that Jiang He can definitely defeat Nangong Lie and Dongfang Sheng?

Perhaps even Jiang He himself doesn't believe it.

That's the reason.

Therefore, although they care, they don't really care for that small group of people. But if they say they don't care, this thing concerns their reputation, so they can't not care.

As the saying goes, a person lives for face.

It's just that most people's attention won't stay on the latest Heaven Ranking for too long now. With the arrival of troubled times, they are busy with how to fight for the world.

......

......

On the vast sea, a three-story large ship floats on the surface of the water. A young man dressed in a black martial arts robe gazes into the distance with deep eyes.

While the martial artists in the Jianghu are in turmoil, either discussing the Supreme Ranking or revolting, Chen Yuan, ranked fourth in the world by the Dengxian Tower,

Has already stood on the East Sea.

His gaze is extremely deep, like two bottomless black holes, exuding an aura that keeps strangers away.

After the Battle of Zijin Mountain, he arranged for several people from the Dao God Palace and Lingxu and Taixu to guard those foundations in Shuzhou for him. He, on the other hand, took the recovering Moro and sped all the way towards the East Sea.

For him, nothing is as important as opportunity.

This is the first principle.

After leaving Zijin Mountain, he hardly paused, directly crossing Yunzhou and arriving at Dongzhou. After that, without any stops or any intention of greeting Wudi City,

He accepted a three-story giant ship that they presented with trepidation from a sea sect. Then, using many methods, he found his destination in the vast sea within a short period of two or three days.

Located near Dongying.... Dragon God Island!

After finding the approximate location of Dragon God Island, he directly embarked on a new journey.

However, he wasn't completely ignorant of the Central Plains. In fact, his Heavenly Book was opening every moment, learning about the current changes in the Central Plains from Jiang He, Su Ziyue, and others.

And.... changes on the Dengxian Ranking.

With his hands behind his back, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth, and he whispered to himself:

"This time, I can be considered a true fourth in the world."

But it was just a smile. To say he was shocked was an exaggeration. After all, although his true self couldn't even touch the edge of the Heaven Ranking before,

Both of his alts were already on it.

Now that one of his alts has been removed, his true self has replaced the other alt, becoming a true fourth in the Heaven Ranking. However, Chen Yuan is still very clear about his own strength.

He wouldn't foolishly think that he could really be considered fourth in the Heaven Ranking. In fact, the reason he is able to be listed now is because he killed Jingtai with the power of the masses.

As for his real strength, it's actually only around the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.

However, he wouldn't clarify anything. One is that he does need the reputation of fourth in the world to continue to gain fame, and the other is....

He is indeed a fake right now, unworthy of fourth in the Heaven Ranking.

But after he returns from Dragon God Island, that will be another story!

Therefore, clarification is unnecessary because he will soon be worthy.

"The chaos of the human world begins with me, Chen Yuan...." The Heaven Ranking was just a small episode for Chen Yuan, not worth much attention. What he was really thinking about was the general trend of the world that Su Ziyue had told him.

What he said came true. After the Battle of Zijin Mountain, the real troubled times did begin. All forces in the Central Plains are actively preparing to accumulate strength.

Many forces outside the Central Plains are also preparing to swallow the Central Plains.

These troubled times.... have arrived!

And it was started by his hands. To be honest, Chen Yuan even feels a bit unreal now, like he feels like a character in a history book.

Often, the first to start the troubled times ends up making wedding clothes for others. Chen Yuan didn't want to be like that at first. But what else could he do when he was forced to that point?

"The troubled times began because of you. This monk hopes that they can also end in your hands." Behind Chen Yuan, the figure of Moro in white appeared slowly, also looking at the endless deep sea in front.

Although Moro claims to no longer be the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, no longer a person from Lingshan, he still considers himself a member of the Buddhist sect and still has a true sense of compassion.

He really doesn't want to see the suffering of the people.

But this is an inevitable process of history. Even if Chen Yuan didn't start the troubled times, someone else would have. In that case, why not take the initiative into your own hands?

As long as you can pacify the world in the fastest time in the future and return peace to the human world, then it will not be a sin, but a great merit to reshape the universe.

"I will."

Chen Yuan didn't turn around, just said it indifferently, as if he was talking to Moro, but more like he was talking to himself.

He said that these troubled times started with him, and he also said that the troubled times will end with him.

He will naturally do what he said.

"If it can be done, benefactor Chen will surely possess great merit."

"Like that Taizu of Chu?" Chen Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it good?"

"Not good."

"Why?"

"He died, and I... don't want to die."

Chen Yuan smiled indifferently.

"Benefactor is a person of great luck chosen by the heavens." Moro continued. He didn't ask Chen Yuan what he was going to do now. He should be going back to Shuzhou to control the situation.

But because of Chen Yuan's previous events, Moro understood that Chen Yuan had great luck and that everything he did was inevitable. It would be bad to stop him.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Chen Yuan never considered himself a person of great luck. Although his start wasn't difficult, it certainly wasn't good. Basically, he was an orphan who relied on his own fists to build a world.

As for great luck....

Hehe,

He absorbed the luck from so many children of luck, so naturally he became the biggest child of luck.

But this isn't the mandate of heaven, it's what he got through his own efforts.

Although Moro didn't agree with Chen Yuan's words in his heart, if he didn't have great luck, then no one in the world would be considered lucky. But he didn't refute it.

There's no need to argue about these things.

"How is senior's injury?"

"It's still a little short. I haven't fully recovered."

"Then why did senior show up? Shouldn't you be afraid of those people above?" Chen Yuan stretched out a finger and pointed to the empty sky above.

He and Moro had been in contact for a long time, and the other party had confessed to him about some things about the Immortal Realm. He also knew that Moro was actually very afraid.

So he usually only showed up for a short time and stayed in the Emperor Slaying Saber most of the time, just like his meeting with the old Celestial Master on the top of Wudang Mountain.

Hiding...

Moro chuckled:

"There's no need now."

"Is it because you were exposed in front of the Buddha, so.... you don't care anymore?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"That's one reason. This monk and the Daoist friend from Wudang Mountain showed themselves in front of the Tathagata. There's no need to hide it anymore. Because this monk originally only wanted to avoid Lingshan."

"What's the second reason?"

"The second reason is that this monk guesses that those people above aren't watching the human world all the time. It's likely that they cut off contact after the battle of the former Chu."

"What do you mean?"

"This is what this monk thought of recently."

"Hmm?"

Moro let out a long breath and stared at the void in front:

"Since the destruction of the former Chu and the establishment of the Great Jin, when this monk was suppressed in the capital, I found that the world had become turbid...."

"Turbid?"

Chen Yuan frowned. Although he looked at the world and it was fine, without a trace of turbid aura, he also knew that immortals saw things from a different angle than him.

He was just more curious.

"It's the turbidity of the rules."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan understood a little. After all, he was still too far from the rules. He hadn't even completed the realm of artistic conception, so he couldn't even talk about comprehending the rules.

"The more turbid the world becomes, the more difficult it is to comprehend the rules. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, only a handful of immortals have been born. At least in this monk's opinion, only the one from Wudang Mountain and this monk have broken through the sixth realm.

Others, such as others, are still one step away. Whether it's benefactor Ye Xiangnan or Manjusri, they are all like that. They have actually reached that point, but they are trapped in this realm.

It's not that they don't want to, but they may not be able to do it for the time being."

"Senior means that the difficulty of breaking through the sixth realm has increased several times?"

"That's right. Before, this monk was just thinking about other aspects. Now I realize that perhaps the turbidity of these rules is due to the Immortal Realm."

"They can do such a thing?"

"Don't underestimate the Immortal Realm. When an individual's power can shake the heavens and earth, there's nothing that can't be done. Back then, the Taizu of Chu suppressed the human world and was invincible, but didn't he still die in the Immortal Realm?

However, even if immortals want to do this, it's very difficult. After all, this is a great divine power to change the heavens and earth. Therefore, this monk infers that the Immortal Realm must have paid a huge price, using the Immortal Realm to isolate everything and temporarily cut off contact with the human world...."

Moro's face became serious.

"Really?"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. If this is true, then it's good news for him. He had been worried that one day, before he had grown up, those immortals would come down to the world and attack him without warning.

Under the siege of many immortals, the Taizu of Chu died. Not to mention him, someone who hasn't become an immortal.

"This monk is 90% sure. Perhaps this can explain why this monk hasn't sensed the aura of those people for so many years.

This monk has a Heavenly Secret Disk. I have used it to measure the Heavenly Secrets before, but I found that everything about the Immortal Realm is blank."

"Oh?"

"This monk has told you that the Immortal Realm may not be the real upper realm. The biggest possibility is just a secret realm, but this secret realm is too big and too strong, and it has almost formed a realm of its own, so they call themselves the Immortal Realm.

But as long as it's in the human world, the Heavenly Secret Disk can at least deduce some traces. But the previous deduction was fruitless, without any movement.

The Immortal Realm can't disappear for no reason. There's only one possibility, the Immortal Realm is covered up. Connecting this with the current rules, then it's possible that the immortals in the Immortal Realm used the Immortal Realm as a base and forcibly turbidified the heavens and earth, isolating everything...."

"That's not bad news."

"Hehe, that's true. This monk infers that those immortals may want to break the connection of the human world, and even prevent the birth of immortals, so that they can control it.

But this just gives us time. If they keep staring, once you establish a country, or when you have the momentum to swallow the world, those people may come down to the world and forcibly maintain balance."

Moro smiled faintly.

This really isn't bad news, at least not now.

Compared to comprehending the rules, he hopes that Chen Yuan will grow faster, even faster.

The time left for them is not much.

He himself has limitations, and the old Celestial Master also has limitations. Even if they can comprehend the rules and break through the sixth realm in this rule-turbid human world, the upper limit is still very low.

At least, he currently has no thoughts about the Earth Immortal realm.

But Chen Yuan is different. He has been creating miracles, just like that Taizu of Chu, who almost stood at the peak of the Jianghu in just a few years.

Who can say that he won't stand at the peak of the human world in the future?

Therefore, the old Celestial Master said before that he hopes that those people will regret when they see Chen Yuan in the future, because they made a wrong choice.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and pointed to the front:

"This is the worst of times, but for me, it's also the best of times!"

"Exactly."

After closing his eyes and meditating for a long time, Chen Yuan opened his eyes:

"Senior..."

"Hmm?"

"Before, this junior asked about the division of the sixth realm, but senior was always reluctant to say it. Can you tell me now?"

"Why are you so eager?"

In Moro's opinion, although Chen Yuan is already very strong now, he is still too far from the sixth realm. There is no need to know so much.

Knowing too much is not a good thing. It may cause him to fear the sixth realm or have other emotions, no longer so pure. It's better to proceed step by step.

Anyway, with him, he will always be able to know.

"The Yang God realm is within reach, and the Supernatural Power realm is only one step away. This junior can't wait to see the scenery at a higher level, so that I can have a goal."

Moro pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Alright, since you are so persistent, then this monk will tell you earlier."

"Thank you, senior."

"When the Martial Emperor sorted out and divided the six realms, the first five realms spread throughout the human world, but the sixth realm gradually disappeared from the human world over time...."
