Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, only three days remained before the Dragon Abyss Conference began.
Over these three days, powerful cultivators from countless sects and factions across Yan Province had gathered throughout the Hidden Dragon Mountains.
Prodigies from every faction fought here for places on the Dragon Abyss Ranking, and the battles grew increasingly fierce.
By now, only the prodigies of the Four Great Sects, who occupied the highest places on the Dragon Abyss Ranking, had yet to appear.
Nearly all the ranked prodigies outside the top twenty had gathered, and their positions changed every day.
A massive stone now stood on the highest peak of the Hidden Dragon Mountains.
It was said that the Four Great Sects had placed it there in advance.
This stone was a secret treasure that displayed the positions on the Dragon Abyss Ranking.
The ranking was linked to one hundred Dragon Abyss Tokens.
When holders of Dragon Abyss Tokens fought one another, the winner's position rose automatically.
Every day, large numbers of martial artists gathered near the ranking to observe its changes.
They discussed which prodigy had begun to fall, heading downhill.
And which dark horse had suddenly risen from the ranks, with the potential to challenge the ranking.
As for the greatest "dark horse" of this Dragon Abyss Conference-
It was none other than Yan Sihai, master of the Four Directions Gate.
Previously, the upper circles of Yan Province's cultivation world had scarcely heard of him.
But after this Dragon Abyss Conference began, he had climbed the ranking at astonishing speed, reaching twenty-first place.
He had swept aside nearly every prodigy outside the Four Great Sects.
Even more terrifyingly, Yan Sihai had ended every battle against every opponent so far with a single spear thrust.
