The rules of the Haotian world will restrict all powerful individuals who have reached the Earth Immortal realm or above.
Once a person breaks through to the Land Celestial Realm, this restriction will be strengthened tenfold, making cultivation extremely difficult.
But there are always a very few exceptionally gifted people in the world who can disregard these rules.
For example, Ke Haoran, who topped the list of Nine Provinces Sword Immortals.
Chuan Ying also possesses this talent, completely unrestricted by Haotian's rules.
He is only twenty-seven years old now, and he has already reached the peak of the Land Celestial Realm!
The main hall of the Dengtian Pavilion was completely silent.
Everyone was so shocked by this comment that they were speechless and even held their breath.
They originally thought that the Sword Immortal who ranked second on the Sword Immortal List must be extremely powerful.
But they never expected it to be this powerful.
Twenty-seven years old, peak of the terrestrial celestial realm!
Following Ke Haoran of Datang Academy, he is the second monstrous genius who can disregard the rules of the Haotian World.
If it hadn't come from Su Chen, the Celestial Immortal, no one would have believed that such an amazing genius existed in the world.
Those martial arts practitioners from the Song Dynasty were all stunned at this moment.
They tried hard to recall, but they just couldn't remember that the Song Dynasty had ever had a master named "Chuan Ying".
But upon hearing Su Chen's next words, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
It turns out that Chuan Ying is the kind of genius like "Lang Fanyun". He doesn't rely on a master or need to fight in real combat. He can reach the peak of martial arts simply by observing the world.
Lang Fanyun specializes in swordsmanship and has achieved the realm of a terrestrial immortal, while Chuan Ying's talent is clearly superior.
He only started cultivating at the age of ten, and it took him just eleven years to reach the terrestrial celestial realm!
Unlike Lang Fanyun, who only practiced swordsmanship, he was proficient in both swords and sabers, and was skilled in all kinds of martial arts in the world, mastering each one to an extremely high level.
Such a speed of cultivation and comprehension is probably rare throughout history.
What's most astonishing is his talent; he doesn't even care about the suppression of the rules of the Haotian World.
After breaking through to the Land Celestial Realm, his cultivation continued to soar, and he reached the peak of the Land Celestial Realm in just six years!
This is the pinnacle of the terrestrial celestial realm.
With Chuan Ying's martial arts cultivation and such amazing talent, no one can defeat him unless they are a master of the Celestial Longevity Realm.
Among the known strongest people in the world today, only Ke Haoran of the Great Tang Academy and Su Xinghe, the guardian of Kunlun in Beijing, can reliably defeat him.
As for Sword Saint Liu Bai, who ranks third on the Sword Immortal Ranking, his strength may be slightly stronger than Chuan Ying's, but the difference should not be too great.
Most importantly, Chuan Ying is only twenty-seven years old this year.
It's almost a certainty that he'll break through to the Celestial Longevity Realm in the future.
The Celestial Beings of the Great Longevity Realm are undoubtedly the most elite beings in this world.
The thought that another powerful being at the Celestial Longevity Realm would emerge in the world, and that a Celestial Longevity Realm expert would appear in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, is enough to shock anyone.
In an instant, the entire hall erupted in noise, with many martial arts practitioners discussing the matter.
"My God! This is terrifying! Is there really such a genius in this world who cultivated from scratch to the Land Celestial Realm in eleven years?"
"I've really had my eyes opened today. Compared to these true geniuses, those so-called heroes of famous families in the martial arts world are nothing."
"The terrestrial celestial realm is a realm that countless cultivators dream of, but for Chuan Ying, it's as easy as drinking water. It's truly terrifying."
"Comparison is the thief of joy. Chuan Ying was already at the peak of the Celestial Realm on the Land when he was in his twenties, while I haven't even reached the Vajra Mortal Realm."
"In the martial arts world, those who can reach the fourth level of the Innate Realm in their twenties are already considered to be young and promising. It can only be said that the martial arts world is vast and there are too many hidden geniuses."
"What a formidable Chuan Ying! He was renowned throughout the martial arts world of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, yet he single-handedly cleaved through the enemy ranks with a single blade, even causing the Mongol Yuan National Preceptor, Ba Shi Ba, to suffer a great loss."
"Haha, I never expected that there would be such a powerful master in the martial arts world of the Great Song Dynasty. From now on, who will dare to say that our Great Song Dynasty has no talent?"
"This is terrifying! The Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking is even more astonishing than I imagined. If Chuan Ying, ranked second, is this strong, then how powerful must the one ranked first be?"
In the third private room on the south side of the fifteenth floor.
Murong Fu's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What? Chuan Ying, the second-ranked Sword Immortal, actually comes from the Jianghu of the Great Song Dynasty. He is only twenty-seven years old and has already reached the peak of the Land Celestial Realm?"
Previously, he and several retainers had been speculating about the identity of the Sword Immortal.
Especially after Huang Ying, the First Evil Emperor, and Qi Lianhua, the three Land-based Sword Immortals, made it onto the list, they are even more eager to see the rankings next.
The group almost unanimously agreed that the top two sword immortals must be extremely ancient figures, and could not possibly have come from the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.
As a result, Su Chen gave them a rude awakening.
Chuan Ying, ranked second on the Sword Immortal Ranking, not only comes from the Jianghu of the Great Song Dynasty, but is also a young genius who reached the terrifying peak of the Land Celestial Realm at the age of twenty-seven.
How could Murong Fu, who had always considered himself the top genius of the Song Dynasty, accept this?
He was older than Chuanying, but his cultivation level was insignificant compared to Chuanying's.
Chapter 88 Guess
When this news reached the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, his title of "Southern Murong" would likely become a laughing stock.
In the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Lu Xiaofeng and the others looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
"It's unbelievable that such a powerful swordsman has emerged in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty."
Hua Manlou shook his head and sighed.
The others in the private room nodded in agreement, their expressions complex.
The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty and the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty are adjacent, and their interactions are far more frequent than those of other martial arts worlds.
More communication naturally leads to comparisons.
When the list of the Great Ming Sword Gods was announced, the martial arts world of the Great Ming Dynasty enjoyed a period of great popularity.
But after hearing this insightful assessment, they realized just how weak the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty truly was.
There are a total of sixteen land-based sword immortals and ten supreme knife immortals in the world.
In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, only Lang Fanyun made the list, and he was ranked at the bottom of the Sword Immortal List.
It can't even compare to the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, let alone the martial arts worlds of Liyang, Beili, Tang Dynasty, and Qin Dynasty.
Now that the Song Dynasty's Chuan Ying has made a strong showing on the list, the Song Dynasty's martial arts world, which is on par with the Ming Dynasty's, has also become popular.
After all, Chuan Ying is a top expert at the Celestial Realm on the land, and he will surely be able to enter the Celestial Realm of Great Longevity in the future.
With him in charge, the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty is already among the top in the martial arts world.
Yan Shisan, Xie Xiaofeng, and Ximen Chuixue are all top figures in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, and are highly regarded by countless swordsmen.
Seeing how weak the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is, they can't help but feel immense pressure.
The past cannot be changed; whether the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty can rise to prominence in this generation depends entirely on them.
Lu Xiaofeng, however, was quite open-minded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. Isn't there still one number one on the Sword Immortal Ranking that hasn't been announced yet? Maybe it's a reclusive master from the martial arts world of our Great Ming Dynasty."
These words immediately drew glares from everyone in the private room.
The top-ranked swordsman on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking is even more powerful than Chuan Ying, and can at least be compared to Su Xinghe, who is ranked second on the Sword Immortal Ranking.
It's highly unlikely that such a person would come from the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Despite their thoughts, Yan Shisan, Xie Xiaofeng, and the others still stared at Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to reveal the final answer.
Without a doubt, this top-ranked swordsman is undoubtedly one of the strongest experts of his time.
If he truly came from the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would certainly have a place among the top martial arts worlds.
Su Chen sensed the growing tension in the hall, smiled slightly, and said loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the last person on the list, the Sword Immortal."
"The top-ranked swordsman is Butcher."
"Everyone must be eager to know, to which martial arts world does this Sword Immortal, who ranks first on the Sword Immortal list, belong?"
"The answer is that the butcher does not belong to any dynasty or martial arts world."
"He is a being who transcends human history, and may have existed even before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"It has lived for tens of thousands of years!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in excitement.
Although everyone had already anticipated that this top-ranked swordsman was exceptionally strong, and even speculated that he might be a genius as extraordinary as Ke Haoran.
But upon hearing this, I was still shocked and deeply moved.
In stark contrast to Chuan Ying, who is unbelievably young and ranked second on the Sword Immortal Ranking, the Butcher, who ranks first on the Sword Immortal Ranking, is incredibly ancient and has lived for tens of thousands of years.
Wow, that number 155 is really scary.
Think about it, even the oldest Buddhist sect, the Buddhist sect, only has a history of about five thousand years.
Let's talk about the ancient times of our human race, the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which is only a little over seven thousand years ago.
But that butcher actually lived for over ten thousand years!
What does this mean? It is older than Buddhism, older than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and older than the entire history of humankind.
Previously, everyone was guessing which dynasty this top-ranked swordsman belonged to.
Now there's no need for wild guesses. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have to call a butcher "Ancestor."
Speaking of which, the meaning behind the age of "tens of thousands of years" is even more chilling.
We have always believed that the origin of all civilizations began with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, including those cultivation methods.
Now that the butcher has appeared, does it mean that there are things we don't know about before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
In the hall, everyone started discussing it amongst themselves.
"What? Did I hear that right? The top-ranked butcher on the Sword Immortal List has lived for over ten thousand years?"
