Peak Rankings
Zhang Yang chatted with Gudoer for a long time before leaving the West Mountain Forbidden Zone.
Upon returning to Azure Cloud Peak, Azure Cloud Master immediately appeared.
He asked curiously, "What are you planning to do next?"
He felt that Zhang Yang had set a trap for the Sage Master, and he was also very curious about Zhang Yang's actions.
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Since our Sage Master Uncle did comment on the world's top experts, let's do as he said and create a ranking of the world's top experts!"
He had wanted to do it before, but the Azure Cloud Sect had already done too many things to gain attention.
Ranking the world's top martial arts masters would likely get me into trouble.
However, now that the Sage Master has taken the blame, things are different!
Azure Cloud Master took a deep breath. This kid has been taking advantage of the Sage Master all along!
The Sage Master's head must be plucked bald by now, right?
No, once this ranking is released, the Sage Master will probably be so worried he'll scratch his head off.
Once the rankings are released, the top-ranked experts are fine, but the lower-ranked ones will inevitably have to challenge the Sage Master.
The world's strongest warriors are all coming to challenge the Sage Master; this situation must be very worrying for him.
"The rankings are out, send them to me so I can take a look!" Azure Cloud Master said before leaving.
Since he wasn't the one being scammed, he was happy to see it happen.
On the other side, following the Sage Master's comments, Zhang Yang meticulously created a unique ranking list for all the experts in the Tribulation Realm. He then sent it to the Azure Cloud Gazette editorial department, where Liu Ming used the best paper to create a separate "Peak Rankings."
Liu Ming was so excited that he expedited the printing. Soon, the Peak Rankings was printed and sent out.
The spies from various sects who had been keeping a close eye on the news from the Azure Cloud Sect rushed to buy copies of the newspaper when they saw that the Azure Cloud Gazette had published a Peak Rankings.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the contents of the Peak Rankings.
It's actually a ranking of the world's top martial arts masters?
Who has the audacity to rank the world's top martial arts masters?
Does Azure Cloud Gazette have such qualifications?
When they saw the words "Personal Commentary from the Sage Master" on the Peak Rankings, everyone was speechless.
The Sage Master himself is a master; what's wrong with him commenting on other Tribulation Realm experts?
Afterwards, everyone began to look at the figures on the Peak Rankings.
"Zhou Xuansheng is ranked number one on the Peak Rankings."
Currently serving as the Sect Master of the Myriad Spirits Sect, with a lifespan of 3,500 years and Dao Attainment 2,000 years, he is currently in the Late Tribulation Realm.
His record: Two thousand years ago, when he had just reached the Tribulation Realm, he defeated the then Vice Leader of the Sacred Spirit Church.
Fifteen hundred years ago, he entered the Mid Tribulation Realm and challenged the then -Azure Cloud Sect School Leader of the Qingyun Sect. In a battle between people of the same realm, he was defeated!
The Sage Master's Comments: "Peak of cultivation, unparalleled in Daoist arts!"
"Second place on the Peak Rankings, Chen Xiaoqiu."
Currently serving as the abbot of One-Guard Monastery Temple, with a lifespan of 2,900 years and nearly 2,000 years of Dao Attainment, he is currently in the Mid Tribulation Realm and is a sword cultivator.
The Sage Master's Commentary: "Unrivaled in Sword Dao, his brilliance shines throughout the world!"
"Zhou Junchen, ranked fifteenth on the Peak Rankings."
The Sage Master commented. "Below the Tribulation Realm, he can't defeat anyone; above the Tribulation Realm, he can't defeat anyone!"
Countless people obtained the Peak Rankings and began to read them with great interest.
This was the first time countless people had heard news of the powerful figures in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and for many, it was the first time they had ever heard of these strong individuals.
As Immortal Cultivation, who wouldn't be curious?
The "Peak Rankings" sold out immediately.
The messengers from each sect immediately brought the Peak Rankings back to their respective sects.
Upon seeing the Peak Rankings in Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master was stunned.
Upon seeing the "Sage Master's Commentary," he couldn't help but gasp, his whole body trembling. "You brat, I'm going to beat you to death!!!"
He truly never expected that his "education" on cultivating Immortal Cultivation with Zhang Yang would end up with this mess.
How will other sects' Tribulation Realm view themselves?
Wouldn't countless Tribulation Realm say, "What kind of thing is this Sage Master, daring to comment on us? Should we go and 'discuss' this with him?"
The Sage Master gritted his teeth, imagining countless powerful figures lining up to "discuss" things with him.
He now regrets it; why did he have to speak up in the first place?
Well, that kid tricked me again!
The only thing that pleased the Sage Master was that for people like Zhou Xuansheng and the Abbot, the "Sage Master's comments" were still considered positive.
If these people were to challenge themselves as well...
The Sage Master now had a strong urge to fly directly to the Azure Cloud Sect and beat that brat up.
The other elders of the Langya Sacred Land looked at the Sage Master with strange expressions.
From the Sage Master's expression, they knew that there was definitely something wrong with this "Sage Master's Commentary".
The comments on Zhou Junchen, in particular, were incredibly harsh!
What does it mean to be invincible to anyone below the Tribulation Realm, and invincible to anyone above the Tribulation Realm?
Two "can't beat" statements—that's incredibly sarcastic!
"Alas!" the Sage Master sighed deeply.
Oh well, if I got ripped off, I guess I'll just have to accept it!
He'd been scammed several times in a row, so he'd pretty much gotten used to it.
"Everyone," the Sage Master said solemnly, "I'm thinking, we are clearly the scholars of Langya Sacred Land! But why can't we come up with these things? Shouldn't we be bolder and use our brains more?"
Jia Sheng up, and he said, "Why don't we make a list too!"
Didn't the Azure Cloud Sect create a ranking list for those in the Tribulation Realm?
"Let's bring out the Dao Integration Realm and the Primordial Spirit Realm!"
"Just copy it?" Tu Shan glanced at Jia Sheng sideways.
Jia Sheng retorted, "We're just borrowing! We're just borrowing! How can you call it plagiarism when it's a scholar's business?"
The Sage Master shook his head. "This is useless. Since Azure Cloud Gazette beat us to it, others won't recognize what we produce, and it will only damage our reputation! We should think of something else new!"
Many elders of the Langya Sacred Land fell into deep thought.
What exactly should they be doing?
At this moment, many people in the Tribulation Realm were furious.
Zhou Junchen was no exception.
"You old scoundrel! How dare you insult me like this!" Zhou Junchen held the Peak Rankings, his face turning ashen with rage.
He was truly furious.
The other elders of the Myriad Spirits Sect looked at Zhou Junchen with sympathy.
If you put yourself in their shoes, they'd probably be furious.
This is a complete disgrace to countless cultivators in the world!
Zhou Xuansheng glanced at Zhou Junchen and instructed, "You should go into seclusion and focus on improving your strength so you can teach that old bastard a lesson!"
He felt some sympathy for her, but he had no other choice.
Because he also felt that Zhou Junchen's combat strength was weak!
Zhou Xuansheng, ranked first on the Peak Rankings, didn't dislike the Peak Rankings at all. He was number one, so what was there to dislike?
In reality, this was still because Zhang Yang hadn't intentionally framed the Sage Master.
If he were to write something about the "Sage Master's Commentary," the Sage Master would have an even bigger headache.
The Langya Sacred Land is an ally now, so this approach isn't appropriate!
Zhang Yang instructed Liu Ming, "Now that we have the Peak Rankings, we can continue implementing the other rankings we prepared earlier. Protect our own people, and then get everyone else up there. As for our opponents, we'll make things really tough for them, the kind that will make them so angry they'll wake up in their sleep."
"Don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother, I'll arrange it right away!" Liu Ming said excitedly with a smile.
He had been preparing the list for a long time, and now that the Sage Master has taken the blame, he can finally release it!
