Urban Immortal Lord

When Qiu Guohong saw Xia Tian accept the two small red books, he remained extremely calm, even seemingly unconcerned. He couldn't help but admire the young man's composure. This young man was definitely no ordinary person!

Little did Qiu Guohong know that in Xia Tian's heart, those two little red notebooks with gold stars might be the highest honor for ordinary people, but for him, they were just better than nothing.

For Xia Tian, ​​worldly power and money were nothing but fleeting illusions, a dream that would vanish in a century.

What Xia Tian cares about is that these things can provide him with convenience in his cultivation. Otherwise, worldly fame and fortune are nothing but flowers in water and the moon in a mirror in his eyes!

To some extent, this is a difference in the state of life, the difference between cultivators and ordinary people.

"Xiao Hu, Xiao Zhao, you two may step aside for now. I have something to discuss with Mr. Xia," Qiu Guohong said calmly, glancing at Hu Liguo and Xiao Zhao.

Upon seeing this, Hu Liguo and his companion quickly bowed respectfully to Qiu Guohong and hurriedly left the private room. They knew that what was about to happen was beyond the knowledge of someone of their rank.

"Du Kexin, go outside and guard the door strictly. Do not allow anyone to enter, or they will be killed on the spot," Qiu Guohong said again.

Seeing this, Du Kexin also left and closed the door to the private room.

So, in this luxurious presidential suite, only Xia Tian and Qiu Guohong remained. Xia Tian picked up a cup of tea, crossed his legs, and began to sip it as if no one else was around.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qiu Guohong became more amiable. He looked at Xia Tian, ​​paused, and then said, "Mr. Xia must already know that there is a martial arts world in China. May I ask if Mr. Xia has ever heard of the Martial Arts Ranking?"

"Martial Arts Ranking?" Xia Tian couldn't help but ask, his face full of doubt.

Seeing Xia Tian's confused expression, Qiu Guohong's face became interesting, and he laughed, "It's not surprising that Mr. Xia hasn't heard of it. In such a vast country as China, M City is just a small border town, so it's not surprising that it's not well-informed."

"The so-called Martial Arts Ranking is divided into the Heaven Ranking and the Earth Ranking by the Chinese martial arts community according to their martial arts strength. The people on the Earth Ranking are all martial arts grandmasters, while the people on the Heaven Ranking are martial arts legends."

Qiu Guohong began to explain, "These top-ranked figures on the Earth Ranking are all renowned figures in the Chinese martial arts world, with intricate and complex relationships behind them. As for the figures on the Heaven Ranking, they are all martial arts masters..."

"Therefore, it was decided to establish a special department, the purpose of which is to restrict those in the martial arts world from causing chaos in the secular world. I am ashamed to say that although I have cultivated for decades, I am only at the late stage of Grandmaster, ranking third on the Earth Ranking of the Martial Arts World." Qiu Guohong sighed and said, "I am confident that I can still intimidate those on the Earth Ranking of the Martial Arts World, but I am powerless against those on the Heaven Ranking."

After Qiu Guohong's explanation, Xia Tian finally understood... He couldn't help but start to admire the old man. The National Security Bureau was established to restrict the reckless behavior of people in the martial arts world, to benefit ordinary people, and to maintain the normal operation of society.

"So, what does Elder Qiu mean?" Xia Tian asked, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Qiu Guohong paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Young friend Xia has reached the Grandmaster realm at such a young age, which is unprecedented in the history of China. Even Chu Kuang, who is ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, was only half a step Grandmaster at the age of eighteen."

"I earnestly request that young friend Xia sweep across the Chinese martial arts world, claim the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking, and then, with absolute strength..."

At this point, Qiu Guohong bowed deeply to Xia Tian, ​​his eyes filled with deep anticipation.

Seeing this, Xia Tian quickly helped Qiu Guohong up. After pondering for a moment, he said, "To be honest, with my current strength, sweeping through the Grandmasters on the Martial Arts World Ranking shouldn't be a problem. As for the Martial Arts Mythical experts, I've never seen them and don't know their specific strength."

With Xia Tian's current cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, the martial arts masters of China are nothing more than ants in his eyes. The so-called martial arts masters only cultivate internal energy and release their qi externally, while he cultivates spiritual energy. This is a fundamental difference.

However, Xia Tian estimated that those legendary martial arts masters, who had reached the level of martial arts divinity, should have already touched the edge of spiritual power, or even reached the Foundation Establishment stage in the cultivation world!

As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. Whether it is martial arts cultivation or magic cultivation, once you reach a certain level, they are all interconnected. It's just that Earth is in the Dharma-ending Age, and these martial arts experts are simply forging their own paths.

When Qiu Guohong heard Xia Tian say that he could sweep the martial arts rankings, he was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Young friend, you don't need to worry about that. There is still plenty of time. The Chinese martial arts world holds a martial arts tournament every ten years. Eight years have passed since the last martial arts tournament, so you still have two years."

"Martial Arts Tournament?" Xia Tian asked, his face once again showing confusion.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Guohong excitedly said, "That's right! The Martial Arts Tournament is held every ten years on the coast of the East China Sea. Countless martial arts experts from various sects and martial arts families will participate, competing for rankings on the Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking!"

Qiu Guohong's words undoubtedly opened another door for Xia Tian, ​​and through this door, he vaguely learned about some areas he had never been involved in before. It seemed that the so-called martial arts world really had some substance.

"As far as I know, these empty titles don't seem to mean much to the strong, right? These martial arts experts won't fight tooth and nail or even lose their lives for the so-called martial arts rankings, unless there's a deadly temptation involved." Xia Tian shook his head and said calmly.

"Young friend, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent. To be honest, the true purpose of holding this martial arts tournament is to determine the spots for those traveling to the overseas immortal mountains!"

Qiu Guohong said excitedly, "The great land of China has countless secret realms and ruins, and within these secret realms or ruins are countless cultivation resources. These cultivation resources are what martial arts experts flock to."

Overseas fairyland!

A shocking piece of news came from Qiu Guohong's mouth. Xia Tian was also excited when he heard it. He was suffering from a lack of cultivation resources and his cultivation progress was slow. If he could set foot on the legendary overseas immortal mountain, he believed that with his strength, he would definitely obtain a great opportunity!
