Zhu Xiaotian's Plans, Divine Weapon Rankings, and Future Trend

Zhu Xiaotian organized his thoughts. He did not have the time to care about Li Yu.

The Hidden Dragon Rankings was only one of the rankings.

What was more important was how he could obtain more rewards from the Heavenly Dao through the Divine Weapon Rankings. And how to control the overall situation of the world to pave the way for himself.

Before the Divine Weapon Rankings get announced, I must plan carefully. Zhu Xiaotian pondered.

He had just received a piece of news today. The Netherworld Demon Sect colluded with the Northern Desert Wolf King Clan and occupied vast territories in the Mo Prefecture.

The Ye family guarding the Mo Prefecture, Ye Gusheng, had died in battle.

According to his previous life's memories, many earth-shattering events were about to occur.

As for the Great Xia Dynasty, it gradually progressed towards a century-long civil war.

However, with such information in his new life, Zhu Xiaotian naturally had to change a few things for everything to develop in his favor.

At the same time, he could obtain more opportunities and lay the foundation for his rise.

He still remembered most of the divine weapons on the Divine Weapon Rankings then.

Especially the top ten divine weapons.

In first place was the Netherworld Demon Sect's Master—Mo Lin's Demonic Carnage Sword.

In second place was the Three Purities Sword that originally belonged to Perfected Yu Hua.

However, when the rankings were announced, it already belonged to Mo Lin.

This was the first major event that was about to occur.

Perfected Yu Hua had fallen, and the Demonic Carnage Sword had appeared!

Judging from the timings, Zhu Xiaotian believed that now was probably the crucial moment for Mo Lin to secretly forge the Demonic Carnage Sword.

He only found out about all of this a hundred years later in his previous life.

It was said that this Demonic Carnage Sword was a peerless demonic sword forged by Mo Lin according to the sword casting method on an ancient mural.

It could manifest a powerful Demon God power that was extremely terrifying.

However, to forge this demon sword, he would still need to use the blood essence of people with Five Elements Spirit Physiques as sacrifices.

The Five Elements Spiritual Physiques were five people that possessed the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Physiques separately.

At the moment, Mo Lin should have already found four of them, and he was only missing the final metal spirit body.

That last person was Perfected Yu Hua of the Jade Pure Dao Sect.

In Zhu Xiaotian's previous life, Perfected Yu Hua went to the Mo Prefecture to negotiate with Mo Lin in order to save his sect's elders and disciples.

However, he did not know that this so-called negotiation was part of Mo Lin's scheme.

Perfected Yu Hua eventually died in battle.

His Three Purities Sword fell into Mo Lin's hand, and his blood essence became the material Mo Lin used to forge the Demonic Carnage Sword.

The Demonic Carnage Sword was born.

The Netherworld Demon Sect would dominate over the Great Xia Dynasty.

As a result, the Jade Pure Dao Sect suffered an unprecedented blow, and everyone in the orthodox sects felt threatened.

One thing leads to the other.

With the death of Perfected Yu Hua, the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Murong Cang, lost his backing and good friend. His illness aggravated because of it, and he died not long after.

Therefore, not long after the Divine Weapon Rankings was announced, the Third Prince, Murong Taisheng, who had always been secretly in cahoots with the members of the Netherworld Demon Sect and covered for the Demon Sect, began to act. With the help of the Netherworld Demon Sect, he combined forces with the family behind his mother, the Luo Family, and the current Grand Commandant to rebel and usurp the throne.

After that, the various lords eventually declared independence, and the Great Xia Dynasty began a civil war that lasted for a hundred years.

Consequently, the chaos in the world forced the Zhu family to spend a lot of resources on the power struggle between the lords.

This greatly hindered his growth, even taking his father's life in battle. His access to many opportunities was cut off as a result.

Hence, he wanted to change everything in this life.

As long as I stop Perfected Yu Hua from meeting Mo Lin for negotiation talks and tell him about the Demonic Carnage Sword, I can prevent the tragedy and change the trajectory of history!

Zhu Xiaotian thought.

As long as Perfected Yu Hua did not die, the Jade Pure Dao Sect could prevent the Demonic Carnage Sword from becoming a reality.

The strings of events afterward would not have happened.

Furthermore, without the Demonic Carnage Sword.

The Frozen Water Sword that was ranked seventh in the past could move up by one rank.

At the same time, weakening the Netherworld Demon Sect was equivalent to undermining the enemy of the Zhu Family—the Luo Family.

This way, the Zhu family could smoothly support Murong Xingqiao to the throne after Murong Cang's passing.

It would allow the Zhu family to expand their influence further and control the imperial court and the Great Xia Dynasty, obtaining more wealth and resources.

Not only that, he could also use this opportunity to find an appropriate time to expose the truth about Murong Xingqiao's gender. And he would find a way to make her marry him.

Zhu Xiaotian knew that Murong Xingqiao was the daughter of the heavens, the reincarnation of the Mystic Bird, and the person blessed by providence.

In his previous life, in that chaotic world, everyone thought that Murong Xingqiao had been killed.

However, she would skyrocket into a peerless expert later on. She would restore the Great Xia Dynasty and unify the nation.

So, in this life, he must ride Murong Xingqiao's coattails.

Of course, there was also Yi Caidie. She was the descendant of the first Linglong Holy Lord and possessed the qualifications to open the Linglong Treasury.

These two women are hugely valuable to me, so I must make good use of them. I must use them to rise up in this life.

It's a pity that Shi Potian has been eliminated, and I don't know where the Scarlet Copper Hammer ended up. Otherwise, it should have been mine! Zhu Xiaotian thought.

But it doesn't matter if there's one less Scarlet Copper Hammer. What's important right now is to obtain the top weapon on the Xi Liang Dynasty's Divine Weapon Rankings—the Reverse Scale Sword.

Zhu Xiaotian remembered that the Reverse Scale Sword was the sword of Ji Qinglan, the Thirteenth Prince of the Xi Liang Dynasty.

Ji Qinglan was also the top-ranked genius of the Xi Liang Dynasty's Hidden Dragon Rankings.

This fellow was similarly a person with great karmic luck. That Reverse Scale Sword was obtained in the ruins of an immortal abode, and it was said to be an Immortal Artifact.

Such an immortal artifact-level divine weapon could definitely be ranked ahead of the Three Purities Sword in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as he obtained the Reverse Scale Sword, he could stop Mo Lin from casting the Demonic Carnage Sword at the same time.

In that case, he would have the chance to become the first on the Divine Weapon Rankings.

I remember that after a while, Ji Qinglan and the other geniuses in the top ten of the Xi Liang Dynasty's Hidden Dragon Ranking will come to Nan'an City during the Lantern Festival and challenge the top ten of the Great Xia Dynasty's Hidden Dragon Rankings!

Although I lost to Ji Qinglan back then, my cultivation and strength are far beyond my previous self. I can definitely beat him. At that time, I'll take a page from that Li Yu's book and bet with Ji Qinglan to win that Reverse Scale Sword of his! If there's really no other way, I'll think of a way to kill and snatch the sword!

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Xiaotian's eyes while he slowly clenched his right hand.

He had to obtain the Reverse Scale Sword no matter what.

There's also Murong Cang's Tianwen Sword, the Blood Spirit Monarch's Blood Spirit Sword, and the Black Flood Dragon War Halberd of the Black Sea Mystic Flood Dragon. I must obtain them too!

He remembered that the Tianwen Sword, the Blood Spirit Sword, and the Black Flood Dragon War Halberd were respectively the third, fourth, and sixth-ranked divine weapons.

Until here, Zhu Xiaotian already had the big picture in his mind. He was filled with confidence and high spirits.

"Uncle Zhong, accompany me to the Jade Pure Dao Sect!" Zhu Xiaotian walked out of his room and called for his guardian.

He was about to head to the Jade Pure Dao Sect to meet Perfected Yu Hua.

"Yes, Young Master!" An old man with shriveled skin but eyes as sharp as an eagle bowed and replied.

He then took out the flying boat and summoned 20 Zhu Family secret guards to escort Zhu Xiaotian to the southeast.
