446: Tianwen Tower, Weapon Ranking

In the air, a giant gourd-shaped treasure flew towards the center of the Qianling Dynasty.

That was Qianling Dao, which was also where the imperial palace of the Qianling Dynasty was located.

It was said that the Old Imperial Master who established the Qianling Dynasty was living in seclusion deep within that imperial palace, protecting this Dynasty.

However, it had been a long time since any news of that Old Imperial Master had been heard.

“Senior, what kind of strength is this…?”

On the sea swallowing gourd, the experiences during this period could be described as a blend of Chuan Qi and fantasy.

They had not only personally witnessed the Great Grandmasters who were only rumored to exist, but had also personally witnessed the fall of a Chuan Qi.

The person responsible for all of this was the gray-robed youth before them, whose eyes contained stars.

Jiang Xingyun and Jiang Liushui felt numb in their hearts.

Before the sea swallowing gourd, Zhou Tailai felt a little disappointed.

Although these Great Grandmasters possessed strength similar to Foundation Establishment, they were far inferior to the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Mingyang Realm.

Not to mention the Foundation Establishment Cultivators within his own clan.

“Now it seems that Qin Xinming really was a Genius.”

Zhou Tailai thought about Qin Xinming’s move; although it was far inferior to his own, it still showed decent strength.

He must have combined what he had learned with the cultivation methods of the Mingyang Realm after Ascending to the Mingyang Realm.

It could be considered to have achieved some success, but he had died by his hand.

Without cultivating Formations or refining Spirit Pills, the cultivation method of this Qianling Dynasty was indeed different from the path of immortal cultivation.

After personally verifying it, Zhou Tailai came to a conclusion.

“However, it shouldn’t be like this…”

Zhou Tailai cultivated the Heavenly Capital Fate Calculation Method.

His observations during this period had subtly revealed that some secret in this realm seemed to be buried in history.

“This heaven and earth is in decline…”

Zhou Tailai pondered in his heart, transforming into a streak of light and flying away.

At the same time, within the Qianling Dynasty, there was a subtle movement in the central area of the most dangerous and deadly Black Forest Forbidden Zone.

A few days later, Qianling Dynasty soldiers on the front lines, resisting the Black Nightmare, discovered that the invading black Qi had all disappeared overnight.

The Black Forest Forbidden Zone quieted down, with no further movement, leaving the soldiers baffled.

In the center of the Black Forest Forbidden Zone, something seemed to be recovering, gestating, and struggling… Qianling Dynasty, Qianling Dao.

A magnificent and grand city appeared before Jiang Xingyun and Jiang Liushui’s eyes.

This was the Qianling Imperial Palace, the true core of the Qianling Dynasty.

“Truly majestic…” Jiang Xingyun exclaimed unconsciously.

Zhou Tailai, however, felt nothing, as any random city in the Mingyang Realm was larger than this imperial city.

“Fellow Daoist, please come in for a discussion.”

At this moment, an Aged Figure’s voice emanated from the resplendent imperial palace in the center of the imperial city.

“Oh?” Zhou Tailai’s heart stirred.

The sea swallowing gourd paused, standing still in the air.

Zhou Tailai’s figure flew towards the imperial palace.

Deep within the imperial palace, in an ancient and fragrant garden, stood an Aged Figure with white hair and beard, hands clasped behind his back.

Zhou Tailai passed through unimpeded, descending from the sky into the garden.

“Fellow Daoist, please!” The Aged Figure’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He had not expected this powerful individual, who had defeated four Great Grandmasters in a row, to be so young.

“Please!” Zhou Tailai looked at the person before him and sighed slightly in his heart.

No wonder this person had been able to protect the Qianling Dynasty for so many years.

This Old Imperial Master’s strength was much greater than the previous four, but he was about to die.

Zhou Tailai sat down as invited.

With a wave of the Old Imperial Master’s hand, a chessboard appeared before Zhou Tailai.

The Old Imperial Master said nothing, simply extending a hand in invitation.

“Oh?” Zhou Tailai was slightly surprised in his heart, but he was not polite.

He picked up a white piece and placed it down.

He cultivated the Heavenly Capital Fate Calculation Method, and was most skilled in calculation.

The Old Imperial Master’s expression was calm as he took a black piece and placed it.

The ancient and fragrant garden became silent for a time, with only the sound of chess pieces being placed.

Time flowed by.

After ten moves, the Old Imperial Master’s expression grew solemn.

Zhou Tailai remained as calm as an ancient well.

After twenty moves, the Old Imperial Master held his piece, unable to place it.

After a long while, he sighed softly and returned the black piece in his hand to the chess jar.

“Fellow Daoist, what do you want?” The Old Imperial Master asked after a moment of silence.

“A mountain.”

“Good, Fellow Daoist, if you see anything you like, feel free to take it.” The Old Imperial Master looked at the young man before him and nodded in agreement.

“Thank you, I’ll take my leave.” Zhou Tailai stood up and thanked him.

He took a step and left the imperial palace.

The Old Imperial Master quietly watched Zhou Tailai’s departing figure, a flicker of fanaticism in his eyes.

In the end, only a sigh remained.

He had seen an Opportunity for further advancement in this young man, but his Lifespan was short, and he was powerless to reverse the situation.

The Old Imperial Master withdrew his gaze and looked back at the chessboard before him.

His Lifespan was like the black pieces he held, with no room for reversal.

Outside the imperial city, Zhou Tailai’s figure paused slightly.

He looked behind him.

That Old Imperial Master’s strength was not bad, but he was ultimately unable to escape his fate.

“Let’s go, to Great Yu Dao.”

Zhou Tailai returned to the sea swallowing gourd, facing two pairs of curious, excited eyes, but said nothing.

A few days later, news of a mysterious Grandmaster entering the imperial palace to discuss the Dao with the Old Imperial Master swept across the land.

However, this time it was different from before; no fluctuations of a battle emanated from the imperial city.

Only the parties involved knew the outcome of their Dao discussion.

This news completely confirmed that the peerless Old Imperial Master was still alive.

Some speculated that the mysterious Great Grandmaster had won, defeating the Old Imperial Master.

Others said that the peerless Old Imperial Master was the foremost in the world.

Amidst the various opinions, a giant gourd-shaped treasure descended upon Mingling Peak in Great Yu Dao.

“Senior, we, siblings, wish to follow you; we hope Senior will grant us permission.”

Upon arriving here, Jiang Xingyun and the other had vaguely guessed Zhou Tailai’s purpose.

Thus, they bowed to Zhou Tailai.

Zhou Tailai looked at the two of them.

Their character was not bad, and their luck was also quite good, so they could be kept.

He had gone to such great lengths not only to make a name for himself throughout the world, but also to clear obstacles for what he intended to do next.

He wanted to collect Materials to forge an ancestral altar.

Along the way, he had already seen several suitable ones.

With his current reputation, whatever he wanted to do, no one should dare to stop him anymore.

However, he still needed manpower, which was also why he wanted a mountain.

“Good.” Zhou Tailai pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xingyun’s heart was filled with joy.

What an Opportunity it was to be able to follow the foremost person in the world, and he had seized it.

Half a month later, the mysterious Great Grandmaster established the Tianwen Tower on Mingling Peak in Great Yu Dao.

“Since ancient times, the will of heaven has been hard to question… Lord of Tianwen Tower, what great spirit…” In the Qianling Imperial Palace, the Old Imperial Master praised.

With the emergence of Tianwen Tower, a host of Jianghu heroes in the Qianling Dynasty successively set off towards Mingling Peak, attempting to join Tianwen Tower.

Before most of the Jianghu heroes could arrive, two young men and women emerged, each holding a ranking scroll.

A few days later, ranking scrolls spread from Great Yu Dao to various paths of the Qianling Dynasty.

“weapon ranking scroll!”

“Listing the divine weapons of the world on this scroll…”

“Hiss!”

Acquired, Innate, and even Grandmaster Cultivators were all incredibly shocked as they looked at the ranking scroll that came from Tianwen Tower.

“First on the weapon ranking scroll, heaven and earth chessboard…”

“Second on the weapon ranking scroll, Southern Heaven Divine Blade…”

“…”

“This isn’t just ranking weapons; this is ranking the strongest in the world…”

The heaven and earth chessboard was rumored to be the Old Imperial Master’s weapon, and the Southern Heaven Divine Blade was the King of Jiangnan’s precious weapon.

The next three items were the weapons of the other three Great Grandmasters.

However, the Lord of Tianwen Tower’s own weapon was not on this weapon ranking scroll.

The weapon ranking scroll was released, but it was not forbidden by the Dynasty or the other Great Grandmasters.

This undoubtedly hinted that the Lord of Tianwen Tower was truly the foremost in the world!

For a time, Tianwen Tower’s prestige rose another level.

“The time has come…” On Mingling Peak in Great Yu Dao, Zhou Tailai pondered in his heart.

With his current prestige, whatever he did would undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.
