Chapter 1991: The Ranking Battle Begins
" I’m Li Lingtian from the Blue Moon Sect. "
Li Lingtian took a glance at the middle-aged Cultivator before him and nodded.
"It really is Senior Li."
"There are still two days left until the ranking battle. Junior will bring Senior to your accommodation."
When Londolin heard that the young man before him was really the Supreme Elder of the Blue Moon Sect, he was shocked. Perhaps many experts of the Green Falling Immortal Sea did not know about the matter between the Blue Moon Sect and the Haoling Sect, but the Lightning Sword Pavilion did.
A red level sect was able to destroy an orange level sect. There was no need to think about how powerful this red level sect was.
With that said, he led Li Lingtian and the other two into Xiaoyu Island.
The experts who were left behind were discussing animatedly.
..
Li Lingtian and the other two followed Londolin to the Drizzle Island. Along the way, Londolin introduced the ranking battle to them.
Lan Tianyue and Xiao Mengxuan were extremely excited.
It was the first time he had seen so many experts. Every single one of them was a SemiGod or Demigod. There were even quite a few True Gods. If it was in the past, he would have been extremely nervous when he saw these experts.
But now, he did not have the slightest fear in front of these experts.
Furthermore, these powerhouses were casting envious and respectful looks at him. Although it was because of Li Lingtian, he was the Grand Supreme Elder of the Blue Moon Sect.
"Senior, this is your resting place."
Long Duolin led Li Lingtian and the other two to a small pavilion. There was a light shield around the pavilion. It was a simple formation that prevented others from ambushing or spying.
There were a hundred of such small pavilions here.
Moreover, this small pavilion was a few hundred meters away from the other small pavilions.
Along the way, the other places were all simple cave abodes. Compared to this small pavilion, it was completely different. This was the difference between strength and status.
Li Lingtian did not expect Londolin to arrange for them to stay here.
However, he did not think too much about it. This was the world where the strong were respected.
"Yes."
Li Lingtian nodded in satisfaction with the small pavilion.
Londolin was relieved when he saw Li Lingtian’s expression. He was responsible for receiving True Immortal powerhouses with status and strength. He did not dare to provoke these True Immortal powerhouses. In his eyes, these True Immortal powerhouses were his ancestors and he could not afford to be careless.
Although this young man was only the Grand Elder of the Blue Moon Sect the first time he met him, this young man was a super expert who could destroy the Haoling Sect.
" Senior, this accommodation is specially arranged for experts at the mid-level True God Realm and above. No one will come to disturb you, so you can rest at ease. "
"If there’s anything, Senior just needs to give the order."
"The ranking battle will begin in two days. At that time, the Lightning Sword Pavilion will send someone to inform Senior."
Londolin said respectfully. As he spoke, he passed a token to Li Lingtian.
This token was the key to activating the defensive array formation of this small pavilion.
"Thank you."
Li Lingtian took the token and spoke with a smile on his face.
Londolin then bowed and took his leave when he saw that Li Lingtian had no other instructions.
Li Lingtian activated the array and entered the pavilion.
This pavilion had two floors, and even ten people could live in it. The interior was elegantly decorated, giving people a pleasing feeling. It was obvious that the Lightning Sword Pavilion had put a lot of effort into these pavilions. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
However, those who were able to live here were all experts above the mid-level Real God Realm or top-notch sects and families.
After entering, he sized up the place and scanned it with his divine sense. There were no surveillance arrangements here. However, it made sense. All the people who came here were middle-level Real Gods. The Lightning Sword Pavilion naturally would not use such petty methods.
Inside the pavilion, there were six rooms, a living room, and a place for cultivation.
"The Lightning Sword Pavilion is really not simple."
"This is the world where the strong are respected."
" The experts and sects below the True God Realm live in places that are too far away from here. "
Lan Tianyue sighed in her heart. This was the rule and phenomenon of this world.
The place where ordinary experts lived was far from this place. Moreover, if ordinary experts came here, they would definitely be greeted by a random disciple of the Lightning Sword Pavilion.
"You guys should rest first."
"There’s nothing fun in this place."
Li Lingtian found a room and entered it to meditate.
No matter what kind of expert he faced, he would focus all his energy on one thing and go all out.
This time, the experts of the Azure Falling Immortal Sea had gathered together, and it was a good opportunity to witness the strength of the Heaven Realm experts.
******
Two days was just a snap of the fingers for a cultivation expert.
Two days of Li Lingtian’s Divine Ability cultivation passed quickly.
After receiving the notice, all the experts participating in the ranking battle went to the small cloud island.
He brought Lan Tianyue, Xiao Mengxuan, and her daughter to Little Cloud Island. The place was already crowded with people. There were at least hundreds of thousands of experts and cultivators. These experts were basically watching the battle.
There weren’t many experts who participated in the ranking battle. There were about 20,000.
Each expert represented a sect or family.
The experts and families participating in the ranking battle had their own seats.
The red-level sects and families were on one side, while the orange-level sects and families were on the other. As for the yellow-level family and the two yellow-level sects, they didn’t come at all. Instead, they sat on the judges ’steps.
Yellow level sects and families needed a Divine Lord to become a Yellow level sect.
Li Lingtian sized up the surroundings and noticed that there were four steps on the island.
There were only 100 seats on the tall steps. This was the place for the judges and the super experts.
The other two steps were for the red-rank and orange-rank sects and clans. The last one was the largest step, and it was used by the Demigod True God experts who were watching the battle.
There was not a single expert within a ten-mile radius of these four steps. The other cultivators who were watching the battle were all at the edge.
There were as many as 15,000 red level sects and clans, and more than 4,000 orange level sects and clans.
At noon, the time for the ranking battle arrived.
There was a rule in the ranking battle. If one did not enter the arena after this time, it would be considered as giving up.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“..”
At this moment, a shocking drumbeat sounded from the small cloud island. The drumbeat pierced through the clouds and spread throughout the small cloud island.
The deafening drumbeats stirred the blood of the experts present.
Everyone knew that this drumbeat came from the Sky Screen Drum. The Sky Screen Drum was made by Sacred Master when he killed an ancient divine beast. Its sound could spread for millions of miles and could even stir the blood of experts and cultivators.
It could be considered a powerful treasure. However, this Sky Screen Drum did not have any attack or defense.
Twelve shocking drum beats signified the beginning of the ranking battle.
When the drum sounded, all the experts quieted down.
On the judging platform in the center, super experts walked up one by one. The experts who went up were basically all middle-level Real Gods. There were only a few lower-level Real Gods.
Sitting in the center were ten middle-level Real God elders. Looking at the signs, these ten elders were people from the Eastern Wood Sacred Land and were supervising the ranking battle.
"Welcome to Little Cloud Island."
" This ranking battle will be hosted by the Lightning Sword Pavilion and supervised by the Holy City’s emissary. "
" I’m the sect leader of the Lightning Sword Pavilion, Wenren Tian. I’m presiding over this ranking battle. I swear on the Lightning Sword Pavilion that the ranking battle will be fair and just. "
" Now, I announce that the ranking battle has officially begun. "
After all the judges and experts had taken their seats, a middle-aged man in white who was sitting in the center stood up. He had a faint smile on his face as he looked around and said loudly.
His loud voice resounded through the world, and all the experts heard it clearly.
" I am Wang Tianling, representing Eastern Wood Holy City to supervise the ranking battle. "
" To ensure that the ranking battle is fair and just. During the battle, try your best to stop. "
After Wenren Tian finished speaking, Wang Tianling stood up and said indifferently. As the representative of the Saint City, he had to step out and say a few words to supervise the ranking battle of the Green Falling Immortal Sea.
After saying that, he sat down without any intention of saying anything else.
"The ranking battle will be divided into two parts."
" One part is the Red Class Clan Competition, and the other part is the Orange Class Clan Competition. "
" Red level families and sects with True God Realm experts can apply to become orange level families and sects and compete with them. "
Wenren Tian said loudly.
As he spoke, three True God powerhouses from the Lightning Sword Pavilion had already arrived before the red-level families and sects. As long as they reached the True God level, the families and sects would be able to become orange-level.
After becoming an orange level, one would have to compete with an orange level cultivator. If a cultivator from a red level sect with a hidden true god in the red level family competed, they would be punished. No sect would be able to withstand such a severe punishment.
Very soon, the True God powerhouses from the red level families and sects came out. There were a total of 63 True God powerhouses. In other words, 63 red level sects and families had become orange level.
The Blue Moon Sect, a red rank sect, had also become an orange rank sect.
The status of a red level sect and family would change drastically just because one person had reached the level of a Real God.
" Red rank sects and clans will be challenged according to their previous rankings. A challenged opponent cannot be challenged consecutively. "
" For orange-rank sects and clans, Lower True Gods will fight against Upper and Lower True Gods, Middle True Gods will fight against Middle True Gods, Upper True Gods will fight against Upper True Gods, and Paragons will fight against Paragons. The elimination system will be carried out, and the judges will rank them according to the divine powers, techniques, and strength of the contestants. "
" The top 200 will be determined. The top 200 will be challenged again. If the top 100 are not satisfied with this ranking, they can continue to challenge. There is only one chance to challenge. The challenged can only accept two consecutive challenges. If they are injured, they can choose to rest for an hour. "
Wenren Tian explained the rules of the competition. These rules were common in the Heaven Realm, and everyone was clear about them. However, Wenren Tian still repeated them.
Hearing Wenren Tian’s words, Li Lingtian agreed with the idea of such a competition.
After all, there were too many people participating in the competition and they were all battles between Real Gods. The battle between two Real Gods would take a long time. If they were to compete slowly, it would take at least a few years.
This kind of elimination system could quickly determine the rankings, and then those who were not satisfied could challenge them.
Moreover, these judges were all extremely powerful and experienced. As the saying goes, those who are involved in the battle are confused. This was the case. During the battle, they might not be able to see the situation clearly, but the judges on the side could see clearly. They could tell who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance.
