At the 250 rank Xiao long met his match.Xiao Jun was a famous Xiao clan ancestor among the ancestors.But Xiao long didn't know about it.He was born a hundred thousand years ago a period in time where all the lower realms faced a catastrophe.It was the latest Lower realm catastrophe.
The Twin emperors conquest of the lower realms ,they enslaved a third of the Forgotten realm lower realms.
That is almost 3000 realms .That is until the Xiao Jun (Emperor slayer )was born it took him 5000 yrs to reach the peak of lower realm power ceiling and slaughtered his way to their headquarters and killed one emperor.
The most horrifying thing was this was just a clans mission to collect merit points.
Xiao long didn't know he was facing a legend and even if he knew I am pretty sure he won't care.
Xiao long was the first to attack ,if previous battles taught him something is that he must control the momentum of the battle .
Hulling the Heaven splitting fist he was sure it will land on his opponent but he was in for a suprise .All he saw was his opponent move toward him according to Xiao long he was moving slowly but that is when Xiao long realised it was not Xiao Jun moving slowly but it was he who was moving backwards.
Feeling a strong force harmer his stomach it dawned on his he has just been gut punched and didn't even realize .He thought he may have fallen into an illusion but since they were both at the Body tempering realm they should not be able to use Qi techniques.
It was the during the second attack he realized Xiao Jun was so fast that time seemed to pause during his attacks." But isn't he too weak to use time techniques " Xiao long thought.Time and space were two Major Daos and for a small Body tempering cultivator,to tap into their power it only meant he had a Saint artifact or he had a Time Saint physique.Xiao long chose to believe the physique part as saint weapons weren't garbages and one that has time properties at that.
To neutralize the use of this physique Xiao long began bombarding his surroundings disrupting the flow of time matter in the area .Xiao Jun tried to attack him as usual but this time he met with a knee bump on his gut if he was a human not a puppet he would have vomited a few pieces of his organs .Xiao long was not into the mercy business he rained punches on Xiao Jun shattering his puppet into pieces.
One may think it was easy but the battle among cultivators is sometimes decided in seconds.
Xiao long continued his challenges,he did meet a few interesting characters,But the most interesting of all was rank 130 this bastard had great control over her strength that her punches which seemed soft contained a terrific amount of power .Xiao long won after a straining battle with a few broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
Xiao Wei finished his formation curving a tier 3 earth formation raising his rank into top 100 .This was the first time in this era that Xiao clan gained a top 100 ranker and it seemed he won't be the last ,the way Xiao long was performing he was sure to get there,and let's not talk about Xiao Li who was refining herbs like she was possessed by a Pill master .
The clan elder had already stopped commenting since the brat crossed the 500 rank .
They knew what it meant to be ranked among the top 500 in the entire Clan Ranking of geniuses.Those are people who stepped on the piles of dead bodies of their generations peers.And the clan seemed it will gain another 3 or 4 at the same time.
The moment the trio broke into the top 500,in a place so far.
A bell rang disrupting the silence in the Grand palaces that were floating all around .This place seemed like a Grotto of some powerful clan.They were millions upon millions of disciples or servants all over the place.
The moment the bell rang a tall monument in the middle of the Grotto trembled and began to change names .
" Look the Ancestral tablet is changing names " a disciple pointed up joyfully.
It has been a few millennium since it changed names .The powerhouses here just scanned it not caring much . Although it was a momentous moment they have seen a lot of Name changes over the years.
But it the happened a second time .The first was Xiao long rank 450 then Xiao Li 300 rank.And to top it Xiao long was continuing to raise his ranking .By the time they regained their bearings Xiao long was challenging the 250 ranker .
An emergency meeting was called.
The meeting place was a big palace with more that 10000 sits.There were 10 grand thrones on a raised platform.
The minute the meeting was called it took a few breaths of time before all the sits were full ,except the thrones .
The people in attendance were just projections.
The 10 throne lit up and a young lady appeared.
The hall fell silent as all the rose up and saluted " We welcome 10 th ancestor" the lady smiled and nodded at them .
The 7th throne lit up and a burly man appeared "We welcome the 7th ancestor" they saluted this went on until all the thrones were occupied.
A man sat on the 5th throne as he drowned liquor .Looking at his appearance you could see he was a drunkard.He grumbled " why did you wake me up old second" he demanded irritatedly.
The others didn't find his behavior odd they were used to it.
The one called old second was a middle aged man he was definitely handsome with a head full of white hair . He didn't mind being questioned he was even excepting it .
Clearing his throat and smiling he spoke " you should have seen the changes of the War ranking? ."
They all nodded as they had all witnessed the changes .
" Is that it " Fifth ancestor asked annoyedly.
" Of course not what amazed me was the clan doesn't have anyone inside the war tower now" he paused the continued " that can only mean that the ones participating in the trial are the Main clan in the lower realm."
This time the others were shocked they knew the state the Main clan was in , they wished they could help but they had their enemies to deal with.So they were suprised to hear that they were able to gain two Heaven class geniuses .
They didn't even have time to process the news when. Xiao Wei jumped to rank 200.
And looking at Xiao longs name which was jumping ranks as if his opponent didn't matter.
The entire hall fell silent.
The 3rd ancestor sighed as he muttered " It is the first time we ever got 3 geniuses of this calliber at the same time "
The others didn't comment as it was not a question but a fact.
