Chapter 866 - Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow

"Brother Tang Huan, this is the 'Sword Displaying Arena'."

In the afternoon of the next day, Tang Huan and Eastward had arrived at the east side of the Hidden Sword Mountain.

At this time, what appeared in front of them were four platforms with a radius of twenty to thirty meters. Under the towering cliff, these four platforms were neatly lined up.

Just like Tang Huan, Dong Lai also became a Silver Sword disciple in the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" this morning. At that time, Dong Lai brought Tang Huan to wander around the Yan Yang City.

With regards to the situation in Yan Yang City and Hidden Sword Mountain, it could be said that Eastward was extremely knowledgeable.

Tang Huan possessed all of Hu Chan's memories and was similarly very familiar with this place. There were even some secrets that he did not know about that came from the east that Tang Huan knew very clearly. However, Tang Huan was familiar with the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" from two thousand years ago, and not with the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" now!

Times have changed, seas have changed.

After such a long period of time, Yan Yang City, Hidden Sword Mountain, and even the entire "Pure Yang Sword Sect" had undergone quite a few changes. It was just like how the four "Sword Displaying Arena" in front of them had only appeared a thousand years ago.

The reason why that "Sword-fighting Villa" got its name was because of the "Sword Displaying Arena".

The former was aimed at the preparatory disciples who wanted to join the "Pure Yang Sword Sect", while the latter was aimed at the official disciples of the "Pure Yang Sword Sect".

Almost every day, disciples would compete on the four platforms.

And the result of their sparring would very likely appear on the four ranks of the "Sky, Earth, Profound, Yellow" rankings.

The Heaven Ranking, Earth Ranking, Profound Ranking, and Yellow Ranking, were similar to the Sword-fighting Villa's Sword-fighting Scoreboard, except the latter was ranked by the points accumulated by the preparatory disciples, while the latter was ranked by the strength of the official disciples.

Among them, the Yellow Ranking corresponds to an Iron Sword disciple, the Profound Ranking corresponds to a Copper Sword disciple, the Earth Ranking corresponds to a Silver Sword disciple, and the Heavenly Ranking corresponds to a Golden Sword disciple.

At this moment, there were two contenders battling on each of the four platforms.

Every single high platform seemed to be covered with an almost transparent layer of gigantic round cover s, while inside the round platform, it seemed to be an enormous symbol slowly flowing. The color of the symbols resonated with the colors of the sword tablets of the disciples of gold, silver, copper, and iron — gold, silver, yellow, and black.

"Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow …" Tang Huan muttered to himself, the words "Sword Displaying Arena" were precisely those four words.

"In the center of the 'Sword Displaying Arena', there are two slots for the sword. Once both parties have stepped onto the stage, they will place the sword tablet into the groove and use the 'Sword Displaying Arena'. If you are struck down from the stage, the aura will disappear from the stage and the sword tablet will immediately be rejected and separated by the 'Sword Discourse Arena'. "Next, that person's name will replace the loser's, appearing on the four ranks of the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Rankings."

"Where are the four ranks?" Tang Huan immediately asked.

"I should be able to see it soon."

Dongfang Xi rolled his eyes and mysteriously said. His two eyes immediately fell on the tall platform that had the word "yellow" written on it.

The two cultivators on the stage were obviously disciples of the "Pure Yang Sword Sect", and because the round cover on the stage were isolated, they could not detect the cultivation levels of the two. However, their battle was already coming to an end. One of them was forced to retreat step by step, getting closer and closer to the edge of the high platform.

Moments later, that person was blasted off the stage.

"Chi!"

Subtle air-piercing sounds were heard, and a black stream of light rose from the stage. In an instant, it passed through the round cover and landed below the stage. Immediately following that, a small ball of black Qi whizzed out of the platform and entered the extreme right side of the cliff at lightning speed.

"Buzz!"

A low and deep rumbling sound echoed out as the black glow on the left side of the cliff, which was as smooth as jade, suddenly opened up and revealed a string of black symbols. It was a hundred names. The name ranked fifty-ninth was changing rapidly, and in less than a breath of time, a new name had appeared, Ali. Dozens of rows of characters after the name of the fifty-ninth were also changing.

The one who was originally ranked fifty-ninth had now become ranked 60th, while the rest had their rankings pushed backwards.

"This is the Iron Sword disciple's Yellow Ranking!"

Only now did Tang Huan realize that the flat and smooth stone wall seemed to have been vaguely split into four pieces, as if four gigantic jade belts were drooping from a high place. The most right was the Yellow Ranking, and the most to the left was the Copper Sword Disciple's Profound Ranking, the Silver Sword Disciple's floor, and the Golden Sword Disciple's Heavenly Ranking.

Every ranking list should only rank the top 100.

If he wanted to enter the rankings, he could only challenge the cultivators on the "Sword Displaying Arena". If he wanted to raise his ranking, he could only challenge those who were ranked higher.

With that thought, Tang Huan's gaze turned to the far left.

The two Golden Sword disciples on the stage were clearly Third Elemental Realm experts. Although they did not emit any Qi from the round cover, they were able to clearly hear the commotion below the stage. Every time they took action, the air within the stage would emit violent ripples that could be seen with the naked eye. The condensed Strength Qi crazily collided with a loud earth-shattering sound, as though it could even penetrate the eardrums.

Only after nearly half a quarter of an hour had passed did the battle on the Heavenly Sword Discourse Arena finally come to an end. With a deep tremble, the golden light on the left side of the cliff released rows upon rows of golden runes.

"Yu Qingge!"

Tang Huan immediately found a familiar name on it. It was Yu Mingjing's sister, Yu Qingge.

Indeed, it was as Eastroad had said. She was ranked second on the Heavenly Rankings. Above Yu Qingge, there was another name that sounded like a woman, called Mei Yingluo. As for the head disciple of the Thunder Clan, Qiang Yuan, who bought five low leveled Heavenly Soldier s from the Sword-fighting Villa, he was ranked third.

The number one on the Heavenly Ranking, Mei Yingluo, is the eldest senior sister of the Water Division; Yu Qingge is the eldest senior sister of the Fire Division; Qiang Yuan is the eldest senior of the Thunder Division; Mo Chan, who is ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, is the eldest senior of the Gold Division; Feng Zedong, who is ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, is the eldest senior of the Earth Division; Fu Junjian, who is ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking, is the eldest senior of the Wood Division; Xie Qiuyu, who is ranked eighth, is the expert of the Water Division; Zong Yi, who is ranked ninth, is the expert of the Thunder Division; Zhao Tong, who is ranked tenth, is also the expert of the Fire Division. Eastward lowered his voice as if he was talking about a family.

"In the top ten of the Heavenly Rankings, there are six women. Of the seven divisions' strongest disciples, four of them are women. Our 'Pure Yang Sword Sect' is a little shady!" Tang Huan could not resist asking, but then he asked with some suspicion, "Why is it that none of the people in the top ten are from our Wind Division?"

"Of the seven divisions' strongest disciples, five are actually female …"

Dong Lai slightly corrected himself, and then revealed an embarrassed look on his face. He then said with a dry cough, "The eldest senior sister of our Wind Division is ranked eighteenth."
