"Although he's the second strongest, he's only slightly weaker than the Flowery Monk. The Wine-Meat Monk is not a simple person as well." Many people agreed with this remark.

'Flowery Monk, Wine-Meat Monk… This Brahma Temple is quite interesting. I think the Wine-Meat Monk must have obtained this name because he doesn't abstain from wine and meat,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian had guessed correctly. In the Brahma Temple, the Flowery Monk did not abide by the rules and did not abstain from sex while the Wine-Meat Monk did not abstain from partaking in the consumption of wine and meat. It was an open secret.

The Wine-Meat Monk chose to enter an arena with an Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator.

When both of them consolidated their Territories, the Wine-Meat Monk only used three moves to defeat his opponent.

"Intermediate Refined Saint Stage!" Just as the last technique the Wine-Meat Monk unleashed erupted, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang who were hovering high up in the sky was taken aback. They did not expect that apart from the famous Flowery Monk in the Brahma Temple, there would be another genius cultivator.

Based on the True Origin from the Wine-Meat Monk's final technique, one could tell his cultivation base was at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.

Although they could see the Wine-Meat Monk's cultivation base was still unstable, and it was obvious he had just broken through to Intermediate Refined Saint Stage not too long ago, they were still shocked.

Just a mere Brahma Temple, a fifth-rate force, actually had such outstanding disciples like the Flowery Monk and the Wine-Meat Monk.

In terms of nurturing the younger generation of disciples, the Brahma Temple was in no way inferior to the two great fourth-rate forces. This pressured them since the birth of powerhouses in a force also meant the rise of the force.

Similarly, their forces were not fourth-rate forces previously. They managed to become a fourth-rate force as a result of their efforts as they climbed up step by step. Naturally, there were some that crashed as they tried to climb up.

There were many fourth-rate and even quasi third-rate forces many years ago, but they had fallen and become fifth-rate and even sixth-rate forces now.

This was because of the lack of talent in the younger generation. This was due to the sectarian bias inherent in some of the older generation. They were unwilling to impart all their knowledge and cultivation resources to the younger generation.

This was also one of the reasons why there were so many talented sectless cultivators.

Perhaps, the Brahma Temple was still inferior to the Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Wave Mansion. However, would this still be the case after 100 years? At that time, the Flowery Monk and Wine-Meat Monk would be in their prime, they might be able to lead and help the Brahma Temple advance to become a fourth-rate force.

In fact, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were not the only ones who felt the pressure, Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, was under even more pressure.

Xu Cen's eyes were filled with killing intent when he looked at the Wine-Meat Monk. Although it was not obvious, one could still see it. After he had witnessed the Wine-Meat Monk's strength, killing intent began to surge up in his heart.

He was not too bothered about the Sky Hurdle Mansion and the Raging Wave Mansion since they were all fourth-rate forces that stood shoulder to shoulder. However, the Brahma Temple was different, it was a fifth-rate force in the Rising Sky Mansion's district. If they managed to rise, this meant their Rising Sky Mansion would be in a precarious situation. Just like the saying went, 'When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war.'

'It looks like when I return, I'll have to suggest to the Lord Mansion Master to send someone to kill the Flowery Monk and Wine-Meat Monk from the Brahma Temple,' Xu Cen thought to himself.

This was not the first time in the history of Rising Sky Mansion where they had done something like this. Many talented Martial and Dao Cultivators who rose up to the top in the Rising Sky Mansion's district died an untimely death just because they were not from the Rising Sky Mansion. Until now, nobody had figured out their cause of death.

Although many suspected it was done by the Rising Sky Mansion, nobody had the evidence to prove it. Moreover, the Rising Sky Mansion was a fourth-rate force. They could only close the case just like that.

However, Xu Cen was unaware the Abbott of Brahma Temple was looking at him when killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Seems like my earlier decision was right. After the Rising Sky Ranking Battle is over, I'll send the Flowery Monk and the Wine-Meat Monk away from the Brahma Temple and Rising Sky Mansion's district to cultivate. Once they've grown strong in the future, they can return and lead the Brahma Temple to glory and to the peak." The Abbott of Brahma Temple had long made up his mind about this.

This was to protect the Flowery Monk and Wine-Meat Monk and the future of Brahma Temple. There were cases where others talented Brahma Temple's disciples who had died before they reached their full potential.

Previously, the Abbott of Brahma Temple had a senior brother whose innate talent was higher than him. In fact, he was in no way inferior to the strongest powerhouse of the younger generation in the Rising Sky Mansion of that era. The strongest powerhouse of the younger generation in the Rising Sky Mansion during that era was currently the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He was also someone that was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in the Rising Sky Mansion's district.

The Abbott believed if his senior brother did not die an untimely death, his current strength would not be inferior to the Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion. Moreover, if his senior brother was still alive, he believed the Brahma Temple would not be a mere fifth-rate force today.

Since he had already experienced that, he had learned his lesson. How could he let his two most outstanding disciples in the Brahma Temple suffer the same fate as their predecessor? He had long thought of a way to avoid this calamity and spoil the Rising Sky Mansion's plan.

"Intermediate Refined Saint Stage!" At this moment, the spectators finally found out about the Wine-Meat Monk's cultivation base from the many powerful sectless cultivators who came to watch the show. All of them were shocked. "The Wine-Meat Monk has already broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage?"

"Since the Wine-Meat Monk has broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage… Don't tell me the Flowery Monk has already broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage?" Many people were stunned.

The limelight was instantly on the Flowery Monk and the Brahma Temple.

Whoosh!

At this moment, another ear-piercing sound of wind whistling reverberated in the air, causing everyone to shift their attention away from the Flowery Monk.

The person who had caused the noise was none other than Yu Xu Zi from Pure Yang Shrine. He had finally gone up to the stage.

Everyone's eyes, including Duan Ling Tian, lit up immediately. They all looked forward to Yu Xu Zi's performance. "One of the Three Geniuses of Pure Yang Shrine… This is indeed something worth looking forward to!"

"Jing Xu Zi of the Three Geniuses from Pure Yang Shrine is undoubtedly powerful. Yin Xu Zi's strength has just been proven. Among all those at the Early Refined Saint Stage, he's indeed a top-rate powerhouse! Coupled with the fact that he's a Devil and Dao Cultivator, it might give him an advantage when faced with ordinary Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouses," somebody said with an anticipatory expression, "I wonder what Yu Xu Zi's strength is like since he's also one of the Three Geniuses in the Pure Yang Shrine."

Yu Xu Zi who was at the center of attention chose an Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator as his opponent in neither a humble nor arrogant manner.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, he managed to defeat his opponent in just one move!

Boom!

The strength he displayed also shocked everyone present on the scene.

"Another Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!" As the moderators, Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang narrowed their eyes in unison before they exchanged a look. Both of them could see the hints of bafflement in each other's eyes.

The fact that the Brahma Temple had two talented Martial Cultivators at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage who was below fifty years old had already given them quite a shock. However, now they found out the Pure Yang Shrine also had two Martial Cultivators at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage and above.

Moreover, the Pure Yang Shrine also had Yin Xu Zi. Although Yin Xu Zi was only at the Early Refined Saint Stage, his combat ability that he displayed earlier proved that he was invincible among Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouses.

It seemed as though Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were hit by a pang of realization, they quickly turned to look at Xu Cen who was sitting nearby.

They knew Xu Cen was even more shocked and even more unwilling to see this compared to them.

Whether it was the Brahma Temple or the Pure Yang Shrine, they were both forces in the Rising Sky Mansion's district.

The land in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was only this vast. If the Brahma Temple or the Pure Yang Shrine wanted to become a fourth-rate force and occupy a large district, the best way was to use the closest fourth-rate force, the Rising Sky Mansion, as a stepping stone to rise to the top.

As for the other fourth-rate forces, they were not the best options. Just like the saying went, 'The mighty dragon is no match for the native serpent.'

"Die! All of them must die!" If somebody was standing close to Xu Cen, they would have noticed the muscles on his face twitching. He was furious.

To the Rising Sky Mansion, it was not a good thing for the Brahma Temple and Pure Yang Shrine to have such outstanding disciples.

"Hurmph!" In the distance, the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine had also noticed Xu Cen's piercing gaze toward Yu Xu Zi. He snorted coldly. "Rising Sky Mansion, I won't give you a chance in destroying the future of my Pure Yang Shrine!"

It was apparent the Shrine Master of Pure Yang Shrine had also thought of a way to protect his own disciples.

'Brahma Temple, Pure Yang Shrine… How surprising! As a fifth-rate force, the Greenwave Han Mansion is far lacking in regards to the quality of the disciples,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

As far as he knew, the most outstanding disciple in Greenwave Han Mansion was Han Xue Nai.

There seemed to be no Refined Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of fifty in the Greenwave Han Mansion at all.

Naturally, he believed with Xue Nai's innate talent, she would definitely be able to surpass Yu Xu Zi and the Wine-Meat Monk before the age of fifty. It was even possible for her to surpass Jing Xu Zi and the Flowery Monk as well.

As time went by, Refined Saint Stage powerhouses entered the arena one after another.

During this time, a few Refined Saint Stage powerhouses had fallen as well.

All of the Refined Saint Stage powerhouses who had fallen were sectless cultivators.

This happened because many of them knew the sectless cultivators did not have any backing, therefore, they did not have to worry about any retaliation.

The Refined Saint Stage powerhouses who went on stage later possessed strength that was almost equal to each other so they had spent a long time battling. Due to this reason, many people still did not get an opportunity to enter the ring even though night had fallen.

The Flowery Monk, Jing Xu Zi, Zhong Gu, Xu Can, and Duan Ling Tian had yet to step into the ring.

Naturally, nobody noticed Duan Ling Tian at all. Almost everyone thought he was just a sectless cultivator here to watch the show and had no intention of participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.

However, when the day ended, there were still two Rising Sky Mansion's disciples among the ten Ring Masters. Both of them were Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivators.

Although that might be the case, put Yu Xu Zi and the Wine-Meat Monk aside, both of them were even weaker than Yin Xu Zi.
