A new day dawned, and Nanzhou City was bustling with activity, more lively than usual. Many people were aware that today marked the beginning of the Title Ceremony. Even those without qualifications to participate felt a sense of anticipation.
Upon careful observation, one would notice that there were even more martial artists entering and exiting Nanzhou City today. Each appeared to possess deep inner strength and an imposing presence. Some were chatting and laughing, while others remained silent or behaved arrogantly, disregarding those around them. However, no one dared to provoke them, as everyone knew these individuals were likely talented figures. Even if they too lacked the qualifications to attend the Title Ceremony, their strength was beyond what most could imagine.
"Qingyi, today I will take you to some fun places, but you need to behave, understand?" After breakfast, Ren Pingsheng said to the nearby Yi Qingyi.
"Sure! I promise I will be good and won't cause any trouble," Yi Qingyi immediately nodded in agreement. To her, as long as she was with Ren Pingsheng, there would be fun and food.
"Great! Let's go!" He smiled lightly and walked out of the inn, heading towards the Listening Wind Teahouse in Nanzhou City. Although still within Nanzhou City, walking there normally would take quite a while. Nanzhou City was vast, and many people used Movement Techniques to get there quickly. Only a small number, like Ren Pingsheng, strolled leisurely without haste.
"The Flame Sword Master from the Western Regions has arrived; please come in!" The maid who received the invitation changed color upon seeing it and immediately led a man with fiery red hair into the Listening Wind Teahouse. As she left, other beautiful maids approached; anyone entering had to present an invitation.
"The Earth-Splitting Sword Master from the Southern Region has arrived; please come in!" Another extraordinary talent had arrived; however, for some reason, this person looked rather displeased and entered the teahouse silently behind the maid.
"The Canglang Martial Master from the Northern Region has arrived."
"The Gale Martial Master from the Southern Region has arrived."
Each newcomer was a genius listed on the rankings. Many martial artists outside the teahouse pointed at them and discussed excitedly. Many of these talents were previously unknown to each other, but hearing the maids' announcements allowed them to recognize numerous renowned figures they had only heard of before.
"Haha... Fengluan, you still enjoy these things. I didn’t bring your invitation; you won’t kick me out, will you?" A deep voice resonated nearby, causing the ears of surrounding martial artists to buzz. They looked at the man in black who had just appeared with astonished expressions, speculating about which extraordinary talent he might be.
The man walked directly into the teahouse, leaving the maid at the entrance stunned and unsure of what to do!
"It turns out Demon Brother has arrived; there's no need for formality; Sister is waiting for you inside." A voice came from within the teahouse, melodious like a lark's song. Many martial artists were captivated by it but also realized the identity of this man in black.
Only the Demon Prince, ranked third on the Sword Master Rankings and a master of the Demonic Path, could be called "Demon Brother" by the Phoenix Fairy, who is ranked second.
Many people turned pale at the mention of this person. It is rumored that the Demon Prince has killed countless people, is ruthless by nature, and possesses terrifyingly powerful skills in the Demonic Path. Even geniuses with comparable cultivation are extremely cautious when fighting him, as a single misstep could lead to being consumed by his demonic energy and meeting a tragic end.
"The Southern Region's Supreme Sword Master has arrived." The maid felt a gust of wind pass by her, and when she regained her composure, she found herself holding an invitation. Upon seeing the name on it, her face changed dramatically, and she struggled to speak.
"What? The Supreme Sword Master has arrived? Why haven't I seen anyone?" Many martial artists heard this and began to shout in confusion. They looked around but found that the person had already entered, leaving no trace behind.
Many were curious about the existence of the number one ranked Sword Master, but unfortunately, he was very low-key and rarely showed himself, so most people did not recognize him. Now that they finally had a chance to encounter him, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow.
"How strong!" Just then, Ren Pingsheng walked over and witnessed the scene. His eyes narrowed, and his body trembled slightly with excitement. Just from a brief glance, he sensed that the person had just used the Artistic Conception of Wind, transforming into a gentle breeze.
That was clearly a mastery level of the Artistic Conception of Wind, which was why he felt excited. If he could fight against him or even just watch his battle, it might help him break through to mastery in his own Artistic Conception.
"I definitely didn't come here in vain; there are many experts!" While he was lost in thought, several other geniuses from the rankings entered as well, all of them formidable and not one weakling among them.
"Qingyi, let's go in too!" Ren Pingsheng said as he moved swiftly with Yi Qingyi to the entrance and handed over their invitation.
"The Eastern Region's Windstorm Sword Master has arrived; please come inside." The maid took Ren Pingsheng's invitation with some surprise. After sizing him up for a moment, she hesitated before saying, "However, I must apologize; this time the Honorary Titles Conference is limited to one person."
"Don't worry; your master won't be so unreasonable. Since it wasn't specified on the invitation, it naturally means it's acceptable." He smiled lightly and stepped into the Listening Wind Tavern without any concern, leaving behind a somewhat dazed maid who took a while to react.
The moment Ren Pingsheng entered the Listening Wind Tavern, it felt as if he had stepped into another world; the tavern seemed infinitely expanded. Not only were there tables and chairs but also ample open space. Inside, people were singing and dancing merrily; it was quite lively. Many were chatting happily among themselves.
"There's nothing surprising about this; it's just an application of spatial techniques that makes the tavern feel more expansive and comfortable," explained the Demon Emperor.
"Spatial techniques are indeed impressive. I wonder when I will have such abilities," Ren Pingsheng mused.
"Ha ha, at least one must have the cultivation of the Emperor level to have a chance. From the arrangement, it seems that the one who made the move has already reached the Emperor level Perfection State. Compared to my time, they are certainly not weak."
"Take your time! I believe it won't be long." At this moment, the dazed maid came back to her senses and hurriedly ran in, leading Ren Pingsheng to his seat.
When Ren Pingsheng entered, many talented individuals paused their actions and scrutinized him. Naturally, those who could come here were all geniuses on the rankings. No one was an ordinary character.
"During this time, Sister has long admired the great name of Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign. Today, seeing you in person is indeed extraordinary." A stunningly beautiful woman walked over slowly, smiling as she spoke.
She had striking features and wore a white silk robe embroidered with a fiery red phoenix, intertwined in a way that exuded an inexplicable aura, clearly not an ordinary garment.
"Hehe, I presume you must be Phoenix Fairy. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Ren Pingsheng lightly cupped his hands in greeting, having a good first impression of her while also feeling wary of her strength.
The two exchanged a few polite words before parting ways. After all, there were many people here; combined, the Sword Master Rankings and Warrior Honor List had at least two hundred individuals. Even if only half showed up, that would still be a hundred people.
Many of the earlier arriving geniuses were quite interested in Ren Pingsheng, this newly emerged talent. They whispered among themselves, and some even sent their consciousness over rudely to gauge Ren Pingsheng's depth. Unfortunately, with the cover of Azure Emperor's Breath Control Technique, he appeared as an ordinary person to them, and they couldn't sense anything unusual.
"Mm!" Ren Pingsheng sat down again, ignoring the gazes from other geniuses. However, one gaze caught his attention—naked hostility was evident in those eyes without any concealment.
He merely frowned but did not take it seriously. He feared that there were many jealous individuals here; others just didn't express it as openly.
"Hehe, that person is Earth Splitting Sword Sovereign Feng Buping. A month ago, he ranked fourth on the Sword Master Rankings." Suddenly, a man beside him leaned in and said with a smile. "But now he is ranked fifth!"
"I see!" Ren Pingsheng immediately understood why there was such strong and unmasked hostility directed at him—it was because he had taken Feng Buping's ranking on the Sword Master Rankings.
"Thank you for the information. May I ask how to address you?"
"Hehe, I am Bai Chongguang, ranked sixth on the Sword Master Rankings. I was fifth a month ago." He grinned widely, seeming very interested in Ren Pingsheng.
"Oh, then you should be dissatisfied with me too, right? Why does it feel completely different?" Ren Pingsheng asked strangely. Clearly because of him, this person had dropped out of the top five rankings.
"Haha, what's the big deal? Rankings are always changing. If you hold a grudge just because someone surpassed you, that would be exhausting. It’s better not to care; that way, no one will be ahead of you, and you won't have any worries."
"You are quite interesting; your perspective is unique."
"Of course, I believe that the most important thing in life is happiness. If you're constantly troubled and depressed, what’s the point? Even if you have powerful cultivation and a long lifespan, you're just a pitiful fellow." Bai Chongguang said seriously.
"Just like that guy over there; although he’s ranked first on the Sword Master list, he’s always gloomy and dull—how boring." He turned his head and pointed at a man in black not far away, speaking without reservation.
"That's the renowned Sword Master Xiao Cangjian." Ren Pingsheng squinted his eyes and immediately recognized him as the person he had seen from afar earlier. At this moment, Xiao Cangjian had his eyes lightly closed and showed no reaction to Bai Chongguang's words.
Perhaps sensing Ren Pingsheng's gaze, he suddenly opened his eyes. In that instant they locked eyes, an invisible momentum rippled through the air.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many talented individuals. However, after staring at each other for two seconds, Ren Pingsheng casually withdrew his gaze. Although he felt a bit stifled, he was even more excited inside.
Not only had this person comprehended Artistic Conception to great success, but even his sword intent was similarly advanced; it seemed he was only a step away from reaching the sect-level realm. No wonder he was ranked first on the Sword Master list; his strength was indeed terrifying.
More and more people arrived, and after half an hour, there were already over one hundred thirty individuals. Those who knew each other gathered together to share their experiences.
"The Five Elements Martial Sovereign from the Eastern Region has arrived." Suddenly, the maid's announcement made Ren Pingsheng's heart skip a beat. He hadn’t expected that he would still be in the Southern Region and that this esteemed gathering would also attract him.
