Chapter 1152 - The Top Ten Martial Monarchs
“What? Is he serious?”
“Gasp, a second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit is enough to join the three great factions?”
“I’ve got a third-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit. Doesn’t that mean I can easily join the three great factions?”
“Oh my, this is too shocking. We’re talking about the legendary three great factions!”
The elders and geniuses on the dojo were astounded!
Everyone knew that in order to be qualified to join the three great factions, one would either need a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit or a cultivation of the Martial Monarch Realm!
However, the rules that had remained the same for countless years had changed for the first time!
“That’s right, I guarantee that it’s real. Besides, as an elder of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, I can tell you that even with a second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, the chance of you passing the trial will be above seventy percent.” The old man in the purple-golden robe smirked and revealed another shocking piece of information.
The elders and disciples could feel their hearts beating rapidly upon hearing this!
Those who were seated on the glowing dojo were either the elders, core disciples, or inner disciples of a Two-Starred Faction, thus the majority of them would have a second-grade or third-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit!
If even those with a second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit had a seventy percent to be recruited, how easy would it be for those with a third, fourth, or fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit?
At that instant, the thoughts of joining the three great factions began to blossom in many hearts like the bamboo shoots which had just gone through a rain!
Most of them had imagined themselves altering their destinies by acquiring a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit or above, which would allow them to join the three great factions!
After all, by joining the three great factions, their status and reputation would undergo a tremendous change, which would thoroughly expand their views toward cultivation, and eventually grant them the chance to soar into the sky!
However, they had no choice but to give up on their dream because of reality and the strict rules of the three great factions!
And now...
It seemed like their chance had arrived!
Unlike the elders and the disciples, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, the Diabolic Monarch Beast, the Extraordinary Saber Monarch, the Fallen Demon Monarch, etc. were astounded!
It was even more shocking than learning that each of the three great factions now had a genius surpassing the rules of cultivation!
The reason being that as they had become the authorities of the Canglan Continent, there was no reason for them to join the three great factions!
As a matter of fact, they clearly knew what the three great factions were planning to achieve!
This would cause most of the elders and disciples of the Two-Starred Factions and Three-Starred Factions to leave the Middle Continent and move to the half-God region!
To an extent, almost every rogue cultivator with a second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit or above would be leaving!
Imagine if every faction in the Middle Continent had lost their disciples with second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirits or above, what was the point of the factions existing?
Their existence would be meaningless!
At that instant, the Martial Monarchs immediately realized the reason why the three great factions would arrive to attend the Monarch Ascending Ceremony and declare the shocking news. They were targeting the factions of the Middle Continent!
“Holy crap! F**k me! That old man is right, the new era has actually begun! The three great factions are so cruel. This alone would be stealing most of the talents from the Middle Continent!
“Besides, the factions of the Middle Continent would gradually decline without the young talents. When that happens, the three great factions could easily eliminate the factions and claim their resources!”
“This...”
Sima Kong was utterly stunned.
Meanwhile, Gong Yang who was standing beside him had an entirely different reaction, as his face had a confused expression. Judging from the situation, it seemed like the three great factions were here to deal with the factions. How did this have anything to do with Qin Nan?
Could it be that the mysterious voice related to the Nine-Worded Martial God was lying to him?
“How bold!”
“Unbelievable!”
“This is insane!”
At that instant, several thunderous voices exploded above the dojo.
The clones of the Martial Monarchs from various factions rose up from their seats. Their gazes were cold while their figures were emitting terrifying auras.
The atmosphere of the dojo instantly intensified, as if a storm was approaching!
“According to the rules in the past, the half-God region and the Middle Continent would not interfere in each other’s business. The half-God region is not allowed to meddle with the factions of the Middle Continent! What are you trying to do now?”
The Dragon Emperor’s eyes flickered with a threatening look.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the Middle Continent began to gather together.
Although the factions had been competing against each other in the past, the three great factions were threatening all the factions of the Middle Continent.
“No no no, please calm down.” The old man in the purple-golden robe said, “Although the half-God region and the Middle Continent did have a rule like that, it did not stop us from changing our standards of hiring new disciples. Therefore, it’s up to them if they are interested in joining us.”
“How ridiculous, stop making fun of us! Why don’t you change the rules and ask all cultivators with a tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit or above to join your faction? In that case, wouldn’t you be controlling the entire Canglan Continent?”
The Dragon Emperor’s expression became colder.
The same reaction was shown by the Martial Monarchs standing behind him.
The old man, the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged man exchanged glances with one another as they began to discuss with their Divine Sense.
They had already expected this before they came.
However, what could they possibly do now?
After all, they were only the elders of the three great factions, thus their statuses were still nothing significant compared to the Martial Monarchs. If they continued with their demands and infuriated the Martial Monarchs, they would most likely be killed on the spot.
“Hehe, Dragon Emperor, you’re as hot-headed as usual!”
At that instant, slightly hoarse laughter could be heard coming from the rift above the dojo.
Following this, an old man holding a stick with a hunchback and eyes dark like ink slowly stepped out from the rift.
Even though the old man did not have any aura, the Dragon Emperor and the other Martial Monarchs were stunned.
The others might be clueless, but they clearly knew who he was.
He was one of the Top Ten Martial Monarchs, the Black-Eyed Monarch.
Similar to ranking the geniuses according to their strength, the Martial Monarchs were also ranked in the same way.
The Top Ten Martial Monarchs were referring to the ten strongest Martial Monarchs.
