C3424 Force Pressure
Moreover, he had already stayed in this realm for one hundred and fifty thousand years. His background and strength were rather vigorous, and there was one similarity between him, Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, and the seventh Heaven And Earth Ranking, Lee Qingyun. That was, his ranking had not changed for a very long time.
Eldest Senior Brother was Faang Haoyun's number one without a doubt, only the top five could be challenged, but there was still a huge gap between them and Faang Haoyun. Faang Haoyun had been ranked first for a million years, no one dared to lightly challenge him, he was the unmoving Big Mountain.
Seventh Lee Qingyun was the disciple whose strength was only second to Faang Haoyun in the hearts of many people. However, after he was ranked seventh, he did not continue to challenge anyone. He spent a long time in seclusion because his rank was not high, but his strength was astonishing.
Xu Gaang was different. In the past 10,000 years, he had been challenged twelve times. Except for one time when he fell to tenth place and climbed back up, the other 11 times he stayed at his current position.
It was also the iron ranking.
Sky Peak was Xu Gaang's peak.
This day, Xu Gaang was feeding the horses on the Sky Peak when he heard the news that someone was challenging his rank. He was expressionless and didn't say anything.
Soon after, another person came. This time, Xu Gaang officially received him as the identity of the guest was unusual. It was the thirteenth of the Heaven And Earth Ranking, Jiang Tao.
The two of them chatted while they sat opposite to each other on top of the Sky Peak. Beside them, there were cherry blossoms flying around and there were a few disciples waiting on them.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Tao got down to business, "Brother Xu, I came this time to reminisce about the past, and we haven't seen each other for five or six years. I've been out working for the sect for the past five or six years, and Brother Xu likes peace and quiet, so I didn't come to disturb him, but after all, it's been so long, we should at least meet each other.
The second thing is that there's a Great Master who entrusted me to deliver something to Brother Xu. "
With that, Jiang Tao unwrapped a golden silk cloth.
Inside the bag was an ancient zither.
The zither emitted a dark luster, and the strings of its strings were bronze. They looked extremely tough, and even mist was billowing from them.
When Xu Gaang saw the golden silk bundle, he could not help but narrow his eyes: "A second rank Holy Weapons, Mountain and River?"
"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Tao chuckled.
A second rank Holy Weapons, it was a High Grade Tao Artifact.
The Artifact Spirit in the guzheng was still breathing and was quite powerful as well.
The realm of this Artifact Spirit was also the peak of the sixth level.
Xu Gaang stretched out his hand to touch the zither, but he restrained himself and said lightly, "Brother Jiang, Gao Shanshui is one of the four vital Taoist Artifact s of the Great Elder Zhe Er, and he treats them like treasures."
"The Great Master means to lend it to Brother Xu for a few days. After ten days, we can return it." Jiang Tao chuckled.
Eight days later was the day Meng Fan challenged Xu Gaang.
The meaning of these ten days were already very clear.
According to the rules of the Heaven And Earth Ranking, to pick Warrior and be chosen, Warrior would have to fight on the Heaven Punisher Platform under the noses of at least five Great Elders. Forbidden techniques, extremely fatal cultivation techniques could not be used, and other people were not allowed to interfere.
Although the rules were very strict, weapons were still allowed to be used.
Holy Weapons s, Taoist Artifact s, were all among the weapons.
Xu Gaang did not say anything. He seemed to be deep in thought and his eyes were flashing. He was obviously thinking about the mystery behind this.
Although Xu Gaang couldn't figure it out for a long time, he knew that it was definitely a matter of the factions fighting.
As for the conflicts of interest between the various factions, he did not care about it at all, and he did not even know anything about it. It was because of this that he was able to keep his body intact, and also because of his personality, that he was able to stay stuck at the ninth position of the Heaven And Earth Ranking.
"I know Brother Xu's temperament, but Grand Elder Zhe Er told me to remind Brother Xu that Ye Weiyang, who just stepped into the the Sixth Palace, is no ordinary person."
"I know, he's a genius at refining pills, and his talent in the martial way is extraordinary as well. He entered the the Sixth Palace less than a thousand years after entering the sect."2
"Brother Xu only knows one thing but not the other." Jiang Tao turned serious. Previously, when Ye Weiyang returned to the sect and handed in his mission, he even handed over Gui Wuzi's head. Gui Wuzi is a six way living being, so it is not easy to judge his strength, but afterwards, when the sect went to investigate, they found that there was something fishy about it. Not only did Ye Weiyang fight with Gui Wuzi, based on the situation, there are at least six experts fighting with Ye Weiyang.
Xu Gaang's eyes couldn't help but change when he heard this.
Jiang Tao knew that he had achieved his goal, so he said gently: "Brother Xu, this Ye Weiyang, always has a low profile, always hiding his abilities, suddenly deciding to challenge the Heaven And Earth Ranking, this is to let the Da Peng rise up to 9000 meters in one day, as long as he steps onto the Heaven And Earth Ranking, it would be akin to a tiger howling into the sky, but of course, there are many people who do not wish for him to step into the Heaven And Earth Ranking, we all believe that Brother Xu's strength is extraordinary, that Ye Weiyang is still too inexperienced, so it is impossible for him to succeed, but there is no problem with being careful, since brother Xu has a lot of confidence in defeating Ye Weiyang."
After Jiang Tao finished saying what he had to say, he turned around and left, leaving Gao Shanshui behind.
After sending Jiang Tao off, Xu Gaang looked back at Gao Shanshui and called out, "Lil 'Liu, send a letter for me."
In the Qingyun Peak.
Meng Fan received a letter from Xu Gaang.
It was an invitation letter.
Meng Fan rushed to the Sky Peak without any hesitation.
The Sky Peak was very far from the Qingyun Peak. If it was the Calamity God King, it would take a few days to walk around, but to the Celestial King of the Six Tribulations, it was just a few blinks of an eye.
When Meng Fan arrived at the top of the Sky Peak, he saw Xu Gaang preparing the drinks.
The two of them clasped their hands and bowed at the same time. This was the first time they had seen such a thing, and they immediately began to cook the wine.
Xu Gaang dismissed the others.
After the two of them drank three cups of wine, Xu Gaang finally spoke: "Brother Meng, there are some people who do not wish for you to step onto the Heaven And Earth Ranking, as for who, I will not mention it, but behind the scenes the person is not like me, Xu Gaang. I heard that Brother Meng is a smart person, even if I did not say it, Brother Meng should know about it."
After Meng Fan heard this, he looked towards a stone table not far away. This stone table was not normal. It was made with over eight million sinking crystals and there was a formation on top of it. An ancient zither was on it.
He could immediately tell that this was a High Grade Tao Artifact, and the Artifact Spirit in it was at the peak of the sixth tribulation. Moreover, this High Grade Tao Artifact had quite a few profound mysteries, and each zither string was condensed with a certain type of law, forming its own reincarnation.
I, Xu Gaang, have always acted in a simple and straightforward manner. The martial arts that I am practicing also requires that they be straightforward and not have any presumptuous thoughts or evil thoughts, or else, there will be some difficulties in the martial arts. I naturally will not agree to this, but if I directly reject it, then the people who want to deal with Brother Meng will use other means.
Meng Fan smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. Then, I apologize."
"Heaven And Earth Ranking only has twenty spots, it's the same for anyone who challenges them …"
"No, I said I was sorry because I was going to defeat Brother Xu in eight days. I would save some face for Brother Xu."
