So, for the next ten or so days, Chu Xisheng’s harvested Blood Essence Points would only grow more abundant day by day.

When he flipped open the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual", his brows lifted slightly.

The first few pages of the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual" surprisingly devoted a large section to introducing a woman named ’One Sword Overturning City’ Wen Zhiyi.

Chu Xisheng concentrated and read carefully, only to discover that this figure was from the same era as the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, nine hundred years ago.

This woman was born into the Sea-Suppressing Country, originally revered as the Empress, and was the greatest master of her time, second only to the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.

Back then, all the Martial Cultivators in the world were dominated by the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord alone, with only this woman capable of contending against him for a night and day without defeat.

About thirteen hundred years ago, the previous Zhou Dynasty was usurped by power-hungry ministers, leading to a rise of many heroes, resulting in division and fragmentation, with local warlords and strongholds attacking and annexing each other, and the Northern Night Wolf Tribe sharpening their blades, coveting the Central Plains.

During this time, the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord appeared out of nowhere, a lone figure with a blade who suppressed the heroes, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of powerful Martial Cultivators. He forcibly pacified an era that should have been chaotic and disastrous for the people.

Including the Grand Ancestor of Daning, all the heroes of the troubled times had no choice but to bow their heads under the blade of the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.

It was only after the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord perished following the Divine Tribulation that the various strongholds dared to raise their weapons again, competing for supremacy over the world.

The Sea-Suppressing Country had been militarily powerful and had Wen Zhiyi to hold the fort; it was, at that time, the most likely nation to unify the world.

But for some unknown reason, it was destroyed by the Grand Ancestor of Daning in alliance with the Six Great Divine Sects.

After the war, a large number of remnants and civilians from the Sea-Suppressing Country, along with Wen Zhiyi, drifted at sea, eventually settling on ’He Status Island’, which was thirty-seven thousand miles from the Divine Continent.

They proclaimed themselves the Sea Clan and built the ’Extreme East Ice City’ underwater in the deep sea, prospering near He Status and conquering ninety-seven thousand islands and five thousand six hundred tribes over nine hundred years, their territory equal to that of a province.

Wen Zhiyi, due to her injuries, used a Secret Technique to seal herself within the Ancient Ice Glacier.

And now, this great master from the same era as the ’Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’ was about to awaken from the glacier.

Chu Xisheng inwardly felt a surge of shock. What kind of figure was the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord?

Not one of those hidden Super-grade Martial Cultivators could match the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.

In those three hundred years, the Sword Lord inflicted heavy damages and even killed a considerable number of Super-grades.

This ’One Sword Overturning City’ Wen Zhiyi, however, could contend with the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord for a whole day and night, and her fighting power was terrifying to imagine.

If she were to awaken, she would likely parachute into the top spot of the Heavenly List, pushing down all the figures on the list by one ranking.

And where did the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion get such news? Could it be true?

After all, the Tianji Taoist has lived for nine hundred years and is from the same era as Wen Zhiyi and the Grand Ancestor of Daning.

This Daoist might have some special channels to grasp the movements of the ’Extreme East Ice City’.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help feeling somewhat worried.

The ’Extreme East Ice City’ had a vast influence, on par with ’Penglai Everday City’, one of the three major maritime forces, with strong Martial Cultivators and a robust military.

One Sword Overturning City Wen Zhiyi was also a peerless great master of her time.

If she were to awaken with the intention of taking revenge on Daning and the Six Great Divine Sects, she would be fully capable of causing a catastrophic disaster in the Divine Continent, an endless military calamity.

According to the introduction in the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual", this was a highly probable event.

In the past, when the Grand Ancestor of Daning conquered ’Zhen Shenjing’, a battle that led to the near annihilation of the Sea-Suppressing Country’s Imperial Family and most of its members perishing.

Even Wen Zhiyi’s two direct sons, due to personally holding off the enemy, died in battle at sea.

’Extreme East Ice City’ has deep-seated enmity like a Blood Sea with the court of Daning and the Six Great Divine Sects!

Chu Xisheng sighed and turned to the later pages of the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual".

Chu Xisheng discovered that the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual" had actually dedicated a whole article to him, taking up half a page, highlighting his brilliant achievements from the past month.

And because, ever since Chu Xisheng headed north, figures like Xuan Wushang had been successively defeated by his blade, the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual" had no choice but to re-rank the ’Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers’, placing him at the top of the list.

Even Heluo’s Si Huangquan, Divine Swallow Saber Li Xiuzhang, and Mad Blade Wang Ming, who were all defeated by Chu Xisheng, were highly regarded by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and now they all hold a seat among the ’Shenxiu Ten Masters’.

Chu Xisheng’s ranking in the Qingyun General List, on the other hand, had been elevated to twenty-ninth.

"Only twenty-ninth, huh!"

Chu Xisheng seemed dissatisfied but actually rather pleased with himself.

Above him on the Qingyun General List, everyone was around seventeen or eighteen years old, universally recognized as ’Super Heavenly Pillars’.

They had been famous for five or six years now, with most of their cultivation reaching Fourth Grade.

So strictly speaking, these individuals were not of the same generation as Chu Xisheng, Si Huangquan, and their peers.

At the top of the list was someone who ten years ago was the fourth-ranked saber among the ’Shenxiu Ten Masters’; this person began practicing Martial Arts at six, made the list at eight, and now, precisely ten years later.

Currently, this person’s cultivation is at the Fourth Grade Upper level, about to step into the Earthly List, indeed an impressive figure.

No wonder the number of Blood Essence Points he received this time was so exaggerated.

Zhou Liangchen also indignantly thought it was unfair on behalf of Chu Xisheng: "Twenty-ninth place is still too low; at the very least, a rank within the top twenty would be more reasonable. The main issue is that the ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ was published a few days too early. If it were delayed by a few more days, once the world learns of the Lord’s feat in assisting the Mu Sword Immortal in Ascension, it certainly would jump several ranks in the Qingyun General List, even entering the top ten makes sense."

Yet Chu Xisheng appeared nonchalant with a dismissive smile, casually tossing aside the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual" he held in his hand.

"Frankly, I find this ranking too high. There is a saying, ’the finest tree in the forest is the one most likely to be cut down.’ What use is such empty fame to me? We, as Martial Cultivators, only need to focus on our Martial Arts path."
