At dawn, a gigantic ancient ship was pulled by ten thousand dragons, slowly approaching the ancient fairy ferry terminal. The dragons were surging forward with great momentum, inspiring awe in people.

  This ancient ship was built by unknown people, and it is incredibly 30,000 meters long and 9,000 meters wide, covering the sky like a massive mountain peak floating in the air.

  From early morning, people began to board the ship one after another, until late afternoon, everyone had boarded the ancient vessel. At this time, there were already no less than a million people on the ship, but it didn't feel crowded at all.

  This is a long air travel route, which takes nine days to reach Nanling. The passengers on the ship are almost all from various places in the Ghost Mountains, some of whom go to Nanling to worship and practice immortality, some of whom are merchant teams coming and going, and others are disciples who come out to practice from various immortal sects.

  "This time, Mount Shengwu is opening again, and the top masters of the 'Wu Bang' from all over the world are heading to Nanling. This will be a battle between dragons and tigers." Someone in the wine house on the old boat said.

  "It's said that the major sects of Nanling have all sent their top experts, among them, the ** from Jiulong Dongtian is already ranked seventh on the 'Martial Arts Rankings', and has a terrifying spiritual artifact that can increase his combat strength several times over, earning him the title of Nanling's number one genius, he may even be able to enter the Martial Alliance."

  "That's not necessarily true, I heard that Gu Shen Tong, the second-ranked on the Martial Arts Ranking List, is heading to Nan Ling. If this ruthless person arrives, it's likely that many top martial artists will die."

  ……

  Everyone on the boat was discussing the winner of this Shengwu War, although the "Wu Ranking" was already there, but a person's combat power is not just about their own strength, weapons, mentality, willpower, wisdom... many aspects are the key to winning or losing, some even more important than strength.

  Here, it is also worth mentioning that the seventy-two mountain ranges including the Ghost Mountains are all branches of the Southern Ridge and are collectively referred to as the Southern Ridge. In other words, the entire southern part of the Ancient Xuan Domain is called "Southern Ridge".

  Guo Yi and Yan Hong sat in the wine house, listening to these people's discussions, from the first of the "Martial Arts Ranking" to the top ten, each expert seemed to have a legendary story. All sorts of incredible encounters, all sorts of against-the-sky methods happened to these people.

  "Sister Shī, you say why nobody talks about us? No matter what, we are also the talented individuals who have rankings on the 'Martial Arts Ranking List', this is a case of favoring one over another."

  After all these days of getting along, Yan Hong's tears are no longer so cold, at least she will sit with him at the same table, and occasionally even say a few words to him.

  Yan Hong's face was covered with a layer of white veil, which was not her own intention, but Guo Yao's strong request, otherwise he really didn't dare to walk with her together.

  Yan Honglei and Ji You Ran's peerless beauty, when they first boarded the flying boat, made Guo Yi suffer a lot. From time to time, there were people who came to find Guo Yi for a duel, all of them scolding that two beautiful flowers had been tainted by cow dung.

  At this time, the two women wouldn't even look at those people and would push all the trouble onto Guo Yi alone to bear. On the first day, Guo Yi fought with countless people one-on-one, punching until his hands were numb.

  From then on, Guo Yi strongly demanded that Yan Honglei, this cheap Shifu sister, wear a veil when going out. As for Ji You Ran, Guo Yi didn't have the guts to make this request to her yet. Fortunately, this strong woman was a cultivation madman and rarely went out.

  Yan Honglei, despite wearing a veil, was still captivating and attracted the attention of many people. She said: "If you also have a legendary experience, and defeat someone in the top ten of the 'Martial Arts Ranking', you can also become famous throughout the land. But can you?"

  "Do you look down on me?" Guo Yi felt very embarrassed, it was okay to be looked down upon by anyone, but he absolutely couldn't be looked down upon by a beauty, this was a man's bottom line.

  Yan Hong's eyes were cold and indifferent as he said, "I'm telling the truth. The top ten of the Martial Arts Ranking is a threshold. Those who can enter the top ten all have the strength to contend with the strong. If you can defeat one of them someday, I won't mind calling you 'brother'."

  "This is what you said." Guo Yi's face was filled with joy, and at this moment he wished that one of the top ten people from the "Martial Arts Ranking" would appear, so that he could bite him to death, and finally hear Yan Hongli call him "Shixiong" (older brother).

  Guo Yi smiled and said: "If I become the first in the 'Martial Arts Ranking', can our relationship progress further?"

  Yan Hong's tears welled up as she stood and left, saying: "If you become the first on the 'Martial Arts Rankings', taking it a step further isn't impossible."

  Kuo Yi stared at the distant figure of Yan Hong, his eyes wide with excitement, and he almost choked on a mouthful of air. He stood there for a moment, then knelt down, raised his hands to the sky, and shouted: "Heaven has opened its eyes!"

  Everyone in the wine house heard Guo Yi's sentence "Heaven opens its eyes", and everyone looked at Guo Yi, wondering what was wrong with this young man. Some people secretly thought to themselves, "This is a young man with a story!"

  Seeing the gaze of these people, Guo Yi's old face suddenly turned red, and he quickly ran away, thinking to himself, "Today I've lost so much face, Guo Yi! Guo Yi! Remember to be more reserved in the future! It's a big deal... it's really a huge deal! The first place on the 'Martial Arts Ranking' must be mine!"

  Returning to his residence, Guo Yi immediately closed the door and pulled out the ancient Buddha from the Burial Sky Sword. This monk didn't know how many years or months he had lived, but judging by his tone, he seemed to have been quite powerful in the past. Guo Yi wanted to reach the top of the Martial Arts Ranking, and the first person he thought of was him.

  Kasyapa Ancient Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, his body emitting a faint Buddhist glow, and smiled: "The 'Martial List' is one of the most mysterious existences between heaven and earth. No one knows who wrote this list, but it contains all the people under the sky. Anyone who can be on the list is undoubtedly an extraordinary person with exceptional talent. Those who can enter the top ten must have had a great adventure, these people are the favorites of the heavens..."

  "Stop, I already know all these things. What I want to know is how can I become the number one on the Martial Arts Ranking?" Guo Yi said.

  "Alas! Even if you were to surpass the two sacred gates, at most you would only be able to rival those in the top ten, unless..."

  Guo Yi wanted to punch the dead monk, but he couldn't get straight to the point. Now that he needed something from him, all he could do was smile and say: "Master, unless what?"

  "Unless you can control the two Maha Mudras within your body and make them operate, keeping the Taiji Two Forms Seal inside your body at all times." said Kasyapa Ancient Buddha.

  Guo Yi recalled the scene where he fought against the Confucian scholar in the isolated city, when the two immortal gates spun non-stop and flew out of his body to form a Taiji Immortal Seal, with an astonishing power. Unfortunately, Guo Yi didn't know why the two immortal gates started spinning on their own at that time. Now, the two immortal gates remained still under his dantian, no matter how hard Guo Yi tried to activate them, he couldn't make them move even a little bit.

  "Guo Ye asked: 'How can we make the two immortal gates in the body form the Taiji Two Forms Immortal Seal?'"

  Kasyapa, the ancient Buddha, smiled and said: "You are now far from achieving enlightenment, but once you have achieved enough, it will naturally start to rotate."

  "Damn it, you old bald donkey still dare to say so much, are you trying to fool me?!" Guo Yi said as he was about to throw the Burial Heaven Sword on the ground and trample it with his feet.

  "Wait, wait, it's not that there's no way. Actually, with the help of external forces, the two immortal gates can also be activated."

  Guo Yue smiled and held the Burial Sky Sword in his palm, saying: "I knew you had a way, speak up!"

  "As long as you find the yin-yang spiritual grass, you can make the two immortal gates operate, and maintain the Taiji Two Forms Immortal Seal in your body for an hour."

  "One hour is enough." Guo Yi continued to ask: "Where can the yin-yang spiritual grass be found?"

  "Land of intertwined yin and yang."

  Kasyapa Buddha returned to the burial of the small sword, while Guo Yao continued to practice the "Nine Changes Mysterious Fire Technique", hoping to quickly cross the red immortal gate and improve his ranking on the Martial List.

  For several days, Guo Yi had been closing his door and not going out, focusing on his cultivation. Until the ninth day, Wan Jiao's flying boat finally arrived at Nanling Xukong Wharf.

  The Void Wharf is located in the central part of Nanling, and Shengwu Mountain is also located in the central part of Nanling. However, they are separated by 30 million miles. Therefore, the three people took the Jiuzhao Flying Boat and traveled for another ten days before arriving at the territory of Shengwu Mountain.

  The surrounding area of Mount Shengwu is a vast grassland stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with five great mountains rising from the ground in the middle of the grassland, like five heavenly pillars at the edge of the sky, piercing through the clouds. The five mountain peaks are like the five fingers of a person's hand lined up in a row, with auspicious clouds drifting and divine light flowing on the mountain peaks, making it seem as if one can pluck the stars from the summit.

  Outside the five mountain peaks, countless people knelt on the ground worshiping, with altar after altar lined up, incense and fire burning brightly.

  The surrounding area of Mount Shengwu has a forbidden flying array for thousands of miles, and neither powerful cultivators nor exotic birds can fly here. On a winding ancient path, a string of people walked in a line, like a black line extending to the horizon. These people were not there to climb Mount Shengwu, but to enter Shengwu City.

  Shengwu City is located on the north side of Shengwu Mountain, a gigantic ancient city that is dozens of times larger than Youjin City, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, majestic and magnificent, simple and ancient, with an unknown number of years.

  Ji You Ran brought Guo Ye and Yan Hong Lei down from the Jiuzhou Feizhou, joining the crowd heading towards Shengwu City. Gazing at the five distant peaks that seemed to touch the sky, their hearts were filled with reverence.

  "These five peaks are: Shǎo Wǔ Fēng, Míng Wǔ Fēng, Zhèng Wǔ Fēng, Gǔ Wǔ Fēng and Dà Wǔ Fēng. The five Wǔ Fēng together are called 'Shèng Wǔ Shān'." Ji Yóu Rán said.

  Guo Ye asked: "There are already tens of millions of people gathered in Shengwu City, why hasn't a single person climbed the five mountain peaks?"

  "Only those of the Martial Alliance are qualified to ascend the Five Peaks, of course if you are taken as a disciple by someone in the Martial Alliance, you also have the qualifications to ascend the peaks, because you already count as a branch of the Martial Alliance."

  It was not Ji You Ran's first time coming to Sheng Wu City, and the familiar road led them to a elegant villa with "Ji Family Villa" written on the gate.

  There was an old woman guarding the gate, just like the one Guo Yao saw in the city master's mansion, who had already stepped half a foot into the coffin and would enter the earth at any time.

  The old woman saw Ji You Ran and immediately paid her respects, a smile appearing on her aged face: "Miss, it's been fifty years since you've come here. I thought you wouldn't be coming back."

  The old woman's first sentence almost made Guo Yao fall to the ground, how could Ji You Ran look only 16 or 17 years old, yet this old woman opened her mouth and said fifty years, Guo Yao's strong psychological endurance was also confused by the past.

  Guo Yi couldn't help but look at Ji You Ran again, and her beauty was like a heavenly fairy. Suddenly, he got goosebumps all over his body, and he secretly praised, "This old lady is really well-maintained."

  If Ji You Ran knew what was on Guo Ye's mind right now, she would definitely cut this cheap person in half with one sword.

  In the world of cultivation, anyone under 100 years old is considered young, and only those over 100 are considered to have just come of age. It can be said that on the path of cultivation, there is no age limit at all, and everyone focuses more on a person's cultivation level. As long as one's cultivation level is high, even if they live for thousands of years, they will not show any signs of aging.

  The war of Sheng Wu is approaching, and all the young people who have been on the "Wu Bang" in the entire big world are rushing to Sheng Wu City. For a time, Sheng Wu City has become lively, and the streets are filled with high-ranking masters from the "Wu Bang". Of course, these people only have their names on the "Wu Bang", after all, there are only 108 people who have rankings.

  On this day, a high-ranking figure from the Wu Alliance descended upon Holy Martial City, holding a 100-meter-long ancient scroll of spiritual light. The ancient scroll floated in the air above Holy Martial City and was actually a physical "Martial Ranking".

  This "Martial Chart" is a divine tool of the Martial Alliance, refined from the spiritual silk of the gods. Like the seal on the Martial Chart, it can be used to observe changes in the ranking of martial artists.

  There are one hundred and eight names listed at the top of the "Martial Arts Ranking", each with their ranking clearly marked, while behind these one hundred and eight people, there are countless other names, densely packed, numbering in the tens of thousands.

  "In ten days' time, it will be the day when Mount Saint War opens, and the quota for entering the alliance will be decided by the battle of Saint War."

  After Na Wu Meng's strong man left, the entire Shengwu City was in a state of turmoil, and everyone was looking forward to the Battle of Shengwu ten days later.
