The Grand Gathering Approaches, the Nine Provinces Heaven Ranking

There are only two months left until the grand event begins.

This Nine Provinces Grand Gathering is held once every hundred years.

At that time.

The rankings of the major powers have been redefined.

Super power, first-class power, second-class power, third-class power.

All of these will be redefined.

Final rankings.

The notice, written by the Heavenly Lake Holy Land, is proclaimed Nine Provinces.

Chen Ning had been preparing for this for a long time.

And as that day draws near...

A system notification suddenly sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the third stage of the legendary main quest [Nine Provinces Heaven Ranking]!"

"Mission Introduction: In the Nine Provinces Power Ranking Conference two months from now, please ensure that the Dragon-Seeking Sect ranks among the top three super powers and is listed on the Nine Provinces Heaven Ranking."

Note: Completing this stage will unlock the final stage of the legendary main quest!

Has it finally arrived...?

Chen Ning's heart stirred slightly; the difficulty of the third stage of the mission could be described as hellish.

The ten giants of Central Province each possess a legacy spanning tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Certainly.

At this point, the Demon Battle Saint Sect was severely weakened and was no longer a threat.

However, other giants still possess extraordinary foundations and have produced numerous powerful figures.

Completing this stage will undoubtedly be quite challenging.

Fortunately, Chen Ning had also prepared many trump cards for the Dragon-Seeking Sect during this time.

Only...

A top-ten finish is practically guaranteed.

But the top three.

That would be quite challenging.

After all.

Currently, the top three are Heavenly Lake Holy Land, Asura Divine Sect, and Yin-Yang Holy Land.

Every powerful force has Saint presiding over it.

At this moment, what the Dragon-Seeking Sect needs most is a Saint- level expert to oversee it.

Without Saint, one cannot be compared to those three giants.

However, having Saint presiding over the rankings is not the deciding factor.

There are many factors that influence rankings.

For example.

The sect's reputation.

The sect's good reputation.

The overall strength of the sect.

The sect's resource reserves.

The number of blessed lands controlled by the sect

The overall qualifications of disciples within the sect.

These are all within the scope of consideration.

Chen Ning had no choice but to improve in other areas.

"Sect Leader Brother, it hasn't been that long, and you've already found so many new lovers?"

Su Ling'er pouted and said softly.

Because of Cang Yue's risking her life to save her earlier, she had now become close to Cang Yue.

But he still couldn't accept the arrival of Hua Luo and Bai Qingluo.

Of the two women, Bai Qingluo was alright, just an acceptable beauty, but Hua Luo, with her blank stare, possessed a beauty that could shock heaven and earth.

Compared to her.

Even the fairy maiden Di Chen would probably pale in comparison.

"Well..."

Chen Ning suddenly realized that this was indeed the case; he seemed to have had no shortage of beautiful women around him.

After recounting the origins of the Hua Luo...

Both Su Ling'er and Cang Yue were somewhat moved.

Having spent countless years in that forbidden place and lost his memory, they were instantly filled with sympathy.

"Alright, Sect Leader, Ling'er should focus on managing the Dragon-Seeking Sect. I'll stay in Spirit Province and protect this foundation for you."

The little girl decided to focus on her career.

It's clear that the sect leader seems to have a fondness for strong and domineering types.

First, he personally nurtured Bai Qingluo, the empress.

Then Xiao Mei was put in charge of the Devil Race.

Furthermore, Sister Cang Yue is not only the Grand Elder, but also the Eldest Princess of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, revealing her hidden identity.

This girl Hua Luo, who has lost her memory, also possesses hidden, explosive combat power, capable of fighting against the Fifth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm expert.

As expected, the sect leader is fond of strong women.

Then.

Su Ling'er was bursting with competitive spirit and secretly made up her mind to take charge of the Dragon-Seeking Sect Spirit Province.

They didn't linger in Spirit Province for too long.

Thanks to the old man who Wine Maniac.

I also paid a visit to the Sword Immortal.

The three of them got very drunk.

Chen Ning then returned to Central Province with Cang Yue and Hua Luo.

The Holy Armament Pavilion was built automatically.

It sits atop Azure Cloud Mountain.

Disciples often stopped to watch, but were unable to enter.

Only those personally appointed by Chen Ning are allowed free access to the Holy Armament Pavilion.

Chen Ning before the Holy Armament Pavilion.

Looking at this magnificent building, a thought struck me.

Summon the system.

"We have chosen Shi Tian, Dwarf Race, to serve as the head of the Holy Armament Pavilion."

As Dwarf Race, Shi Tian was born with an innate talent for forging.

He was also an expert in Appraisal Technique.

He is the perfect candidate to serve as the head of the Holy Armament Pavilion.

As for other candidates, there's no rush.

Let's try out the effects of the Holy Armament Pavilion first.

"Shi Tian greets the Sect Leader."

Shi Tian, dressed in the robes of a disciple of the Dragon-Seeking Sect, was summoned and knelt in the disciple's salute.

Since he learned the complete Appraisal Technique last time, his appraisal skills have become exactly the same as Chen Ning's when he uses the Hammer of Appraisal.

Even Chen Ning was surprised.

He really is a genius.

"From this day forward, you will be the master of the Holy Armament Pavilion, responsible for the sect's weapon forging branch, crafting treasures and spiritual weapons."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Sect Leader. Shi Tian, will do my utmost!"

That's what they said.

But Shi Tian himself was uncertain.

He only knew how to appraise weapons, and his knowledge of weapon crafting was only superficial.

At most, I understand some of the principles.

The sect leader's words clearly implied that he wanted him to forge Spirit Artifact.

Spirit Artifact.

Even the most skilled craftsmen among the Dwarf Race wouldn't dare say they could definitely forge something of that level.

After all.

The art of weapon crafting has declined in popularity.

Those who can forge Supreme-Grade Mystic Artifact are extremely rare.

After much hesitation, Shi Tian's honest nature compelled him to say, "Sect Leader, if you wish to forge Spirit Artifact, Shi Tian 'm afraid I cannot do it. Why don't you let me return to the Dwarf Race? That might give me a chance to forge Spirit Artifact."

Chen Ning smiled slightly, "No need, you are the best weapon refiner."

Seeing that Shi Tian still lacked confidence, Chen Ning advised, "Don't underestimate yourself. Why don't you go into the Holy Armament Pavilion and take a look first?"

"I will obey the sect leader's command."

Shi Tian dared not disobey the sect leader's wishes.

He then stepped into the Holy Armament Pavilion.

Once inside.

Shi Tian's mind cleared instantly.

The Holy Armament Pavilion has seven floors.

Currently, only the third floor is open; the upper floors are not open.

It will be opened as the sect's strength increases.

On the walls of the first floor of the Holy Armament Pavilion, lamps made of Fire Mystic Crystal are used for illumination.

Countless forging blueprints were displayed all around.

Shi Tian casually picked up a blueprint.

With just a glance, the contents of the drawing were etched into my mind.

I can't forget it even if I want to.

In the center is a square cauldron with four legs, and underneath it is a fire pit.

Shi Tian was startled; the square cauldron was actually a High-Grade Spirit Artifact.

That's incredibly extravagant!

With some basic refining materials at hand, and a heavy piece of ten-thousand-year-old black iron, Shi Tian went to the edge of the wall and took out a Starry Sky Leopard's beast soul.

This beast soul is the key to this weapon forging.

It is one of the basic resources included in the Holy Armament Pavilion.

It's like a new player gift pack.

For some unknown reason, Shi Tian inexplicably threw the piece of ten-thousand-year-old black iron into the square cauldron.

Begin weapon crafting.

At this moment, he had forgotten that he didn't know anything about weapon crafting; all he could think about was crafting the spirit sword from the blueprint.

I have no other thoughts.

The entire process was performed with exceptional skill.

He seemed to be a master craftsman.

Finally.

A dazzling spiritual sword appeared before them. Its blade had been repeatedly tempered, and the Starry Sky Leopard's beast soul was shattered and subdued, transforming into rays of light that fell upon the spiritual sword.
