Chapter 913: Discussions in Tianji Valley

With the death of Nangong Tianxia, ​​a hidden and quiet valley on the Tianwu Continent was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

This valley is called Tianji Valley, and it is the location of the most mysterious sect on the Tianwu Continent - Tianji Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion, indifferent to worldly affairs, has a deep insight into the general situation of the world. Its buildings are built according to the mountain terrain, with staggered layout. The bluestone paths meander and twist, with exotic flowers and plants blooming on both sides. Occasionally, spiritual deer fly through the paths, adding a sense of otherworldliness.

In the valley, quaint pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner. Each of them hides endless books and mechanisms, recording all the bits and pieces of past history. The most amazing thing is that there is an observatory tower in the valley. On the tower is an ancient observatory, which is said to be a relic from ancient times that can peek into the secrets of heaven and predict future changes.

At this moment, inside the Observatory, several old men with white hair and beards were sitting around an antique stone table. On the table were spread yellowed scrolls, which were densely marked with the orbits of the stars, the changes in the world situation, and rows of names listed among them.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, causing the drawings to flip gently. Several old men raised their heads almost at the same time, and their eyes simultaneously penetrated the layers of clouds and looked towards the northern sky.

There, a star of a general that had been hanging high in the sky above the Daqian Dynasty for decades and had illuminated the night sky of the Daqian people countless times, began to shake at this moment, and its light gradually dimmed, as if an old hero had finally taken off his heavy armor after completing his mission.

Finally, the star turned into a meteor, streaked across the sky, and fell into the endless darkness, leaving behind a sad and magnificent trail.

But at the same time as this star general fell, the sky above the Daqian Dynasty did not fall into silence.

On the contrary, dozens of dazzling generals seemed to be awakened by some force, shining brightly. They were bright or dim, interweaving into a brilliant galaxy, illuminating the night sky of the entire Daqian Dynasty like daylight.

In this galaxy, there are two stars that are particularly dazzling. One is located above Qianzhou. Its iron-gray light is steady and deep, and a green dragon totem is quietly wrapped around it.

The other one is located at the junction of the Daxuan and Daqian dynasties. The golden light is dazzling, like a rising sun, guarding a Ziwei Emperor Star emitting dazzling purple energy.

Several old men in the Observatory Tower looked at this spectacular scene and remained silent for a long time.

"Another old friend has passed away. Time is like a knife, slashing away all the geniuses!"

"Nangong Tianxia, ​​a great war god. Once upon a time, the Lei Ze Dragon Riders led by him dominated the world, and no one could resist their brilliance. But now..."

One of the old men, dressed in green and holding a feather fan, sighed softly, breaking the silence.

"It is natural that things in the world are unpredictable and heroes grow old. But look at today, in this era of great contention, countless geniuses have emerged one after another. Isn't this a sign of prosperity?"

"Nangong Tianxia is a remnant of the old era. It is time to make way for the newcomers!"

"He did it knowing it was impossible. His ending was his own choice!"

Another old man took over the conversation. His hair and beard were all white, but his tone was calm. To them, they had witnessed the fall of geniuses and the aging of heroes too many times.

"That's right. Now, two monsters with extremely strong energy, Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba, have been born around the Daqian Dynasty."

"In the past, geniuses were seldom seen for hundreds of years, but now they are popping up one after another like mushrooms after rain. This is truly a world of great contention!"

An old man with a kind face and dressed in Taoist robes nodded in agreement.

"There are these two people around the Daqian Dynasty, and they are hostile to each other after all, but the Yellow Turban Army has the "Longxiang Commander" Meng Zhang, a great general of all time."

"Besides, Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke of Tang in the Great Xuan Dynasty, has many brave generals and wise men under his command. I'm afraid that Daqian and the surrounding areas of the Great Xuan Dynasty will be in chaos!"

Then he seemed to have thought of something and sighed. "In times of chaos, the true nature of heroes is revealed. Although we don't care about worldly affairs, it is also fun to observe the general trend of the world."

The old man in green smiled slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Everyone, there is an important matter that needs to be discussed. The world rankings jointly issued by our Tianji Pavilion, famous masters among the various schools of thought, and other major forces may need to be changed in the near future."

"Now that Nangong Tianxia, ​​the god of war who once held the second place, has fallen, I'm afraid the seats in the original top five will need to be changed."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Observatory suddenly became subtle. An old man in a gray robe and with a gaunt face stroked his long beard and spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the tower fell into silence. Several old men either looked up at the sky or lowered their heads in thought, all with solemn expressions.

Nangong Tianxia's name had been firmly in second place on the World Ranking List for many years. His death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the entire list.

"Yes, the list must always be updated, and the rules cannot be abolished."

"Now there is a question before us, that is, should Li Cunxiao, who killed Nangong Tianxia, ​​take his place and be ranked second?"

After a moment, an old man holding a cane and with a slightly hunched back slowly raised his eyes, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing something in his mind.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused heated discussion among the elders.

"It's not impossible to do this, but Li Cunxiao's achievements are more than just the second place."

"He defeated Nangong Tianxia head-on in a one-on-one match. With such a record, the second place is probably unfair to him."

An old man with white hair and beard and a kind face shook his head and said slowly.

"Well, that makes sense."

"Now that Li Cunxiao has killed Nangong Tianxia alone, it won't be long before Li Cunxiao's bravery is known to the world. If he only ranks second, it will be difficult to convince the public."

Another old man in Taoist robes, with an immortal look, nodded.

"Then according to your opinion, how should it be arranged?"

The gray-robed old man looked around and asked.

"In my opinion, Li Cunxiao should be ranked first! Since he was able to kill Nangong Tianxia head-on, his strength is definitely far superior to Nangong's."

“Who in the world today dares to say that he can do this?”

At this time, an old man in a black robe with sharp eyes slammed the table and said in a decisive tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the tower. Several old men nearby were shocked, and then fell into deep thought.

It is undoubtedly an unprecedented and bold move to move Li Cunxiao directly from the bottom of the world's most powerful list to the first place, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to be not impossible.
