Chapter 78 Ling Tian, No. 1 on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking
"Could it be... just someone with the same name?"
After a long while, someone finally spoke with difficulty outside Yong'an Pawnshop, their voice dry and hoarse.
Same name?
Absolutely impossible!
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Xu Nian, and the others immediately denied it in their hearts.
How could it be a coincidence that they share the same name?
Ling Tian's name has been known throughout the martial world for decades, but who has ever heard of him?
This surname and given name do not exist among the myriad surnames of the Nine Provinces!
"I see!"
Suddenly, Xu Nian stood up abruptly, slammed his hand on the table, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized something.
"After the Battle of Hulao Pass, the immortal Longyang concealed his true form and transformed into the divine general Feipeng. Therefore, his life story ends with the Battle of Hulao Pass."
"After Fei Peng was deposed by the Heavenly Emperor, the footage abruptly ended, precisely because he had changed his name once again!"
He adopted the alias "Ling Tian" and was reborn into the world with a completely new identity!
"That is why the past images of General Fei Peng did not continue to the present day, but ended when he 'fell'."
"Because from that moment on, Fei Peng was dead! Only Ling Tian remained in the world!"
Xu Nian's assertion echoed outside the silent Yong'an Pawnshop, its jarring sound sending chills down one's spine.
But as he finished speaking, a corner of everyone's mind seemed to be lit up, and a few insights emerged.
Yes!
If the number one spot on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking is indeed "Ling Tian";
The images of Longyang Immortal reincarnated as Feipeng have not survived to this day;
It ended precisely when Fei Peng "died"—
Doesn't that mean that Fei Peng had already transformed again at that time, becoming Ling Tian?
Since Ling Tian is the new incarnation of Fei Peng, his strength naturally surpasses that of the past!
With this deduction, everything becomes clear!
Even Yaoyue, who had long believed that Feipeng had been reincarnated as Longyang, couldn't help but waver at this moment.
after all……
Xu Nianzhi's explanation perfectly explains the mystery of the interruption of the images of Longyang and Feipeng!
If it is said to be reincarnation, then there is no way to explain why the video is not continued!
but……
If her memory is accurate, even if an ordinary person changes their name, the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking will still consider them the same person and trace their complete life story.
Why is Ling Tian considered as three different people despite changing his name twice?
Could it be...
Ling Tian's strength has reached a point where he can shake the rules of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking.
at this time.
Amidst the elven lights, Ling Tian, holding Long Kui's hand, listened to Xu Nian's logically sound and imposing deduction, his lips twitching repeatedly.
I almost couldn't resist applauding and cheering myself.
Two makeovers?
He described it so vividly and logically that even he himself almost believed it!
As for Long Kui, although she scoffed at Xu Nian's words, she did not interrupt him.
after all--
To her, neither Xu Nian nor the people outside Yong'an Pawnshop were as important as her brother!
She had not seen her brother since the battle in which the Evil Sword Immortal died for his sword.
After a long separation, who has the mind to pay attention to these speculations from the martial arts world?
She had only punished Luo Tian for his foolishness in coming to bother her earlier.
Just now.
As Xu Nian and the others became increasingly convinced of their deduction—
High above, the golden text faded away, and a brand new scene slowly emerged.
Throughout the entire land, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the spot!
on the screen.
The first thing that came into view was an ancient and prosperous city.
The city walls stood tall and imposing, a cacophony of noise filling the air as groups of extraordinary martial artists moved about, their movements as numerous as a woven tapestry.
To the astonishment of all the races of the Nine Provinces, these figures, though imposing, were far less terrifying than they had imagined.
Not to mention compared to the Six Realms era in which Fei Peng lived, it was far inferior even to the Jiang Kingdom in the Long Yang era!
Deep within the palace on an island in the East China Sea during the Qin Dynasty.
Xu Fu suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Finally! Finally!"
"Finally, a martial artist weaker than me has appeared!"
"Moreover, it appeared in the biography of Ling Tian, who topped the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking!"
Since Long Yang appeared on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, almost every being in that scene has reached the realm of celestial beings, or even surpassed it.
Even an ordinary wolf demon possesses the cultivation level of a celestial being!
These continuous attacks had already shattered Xu Fu's confidence.
Now, in Ling Tiansheng's place, which ranks first, most of the martial artists coming and going are Grandmasters and Celestial Realm experts.
This undoubtedly rekindled a long-lost sense of confidence in Xu Fu's heart.
It wasn't just him.
Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, everyone who could discern the strength of those martial artists felt a jolt in their hearts, followed by a quiet sigh of relief.
At the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Sanxiao smiled slightly and chuckled softly:
"So that means..."
"This Ling Tian, who is ranked first on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, is probably not much stronger than General Fei Peng."
"His era was perhaps even more advanced than the Six Realms."
Inside the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin smiled slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing:
"It seems that Ling Tian's true identity differs somewhat from the Imperial Advisor's previous deductions."
Yuan Tiangang smiled calmly and responded without any concern:
"Your Majesty, this is only the beginning."
"Aren't the Six Realms, where General Fei Peng resides, divided into gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, humans, and immortals?"
"What we see now may be the human realm. And that mysterious figure most likely rose to power from this realm."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, looking relaxed, and said:
"anyway……"
"The number one on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking is not more than a few realms above General Fei Peng."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang turned to look at him, their eyes met, and they smiled knowingly.
indeed.
Since the appearance of the Immortal Longyang, the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking has advanced to the top three.
Whether it was the past of General Fei Peng or Immortal Long Yang, it repeatedly overturned their understanding and exceeded all expectations.
Now, they can even speculate about the top figure; this sense of control is unprecedented.
But at this very moment—
Before their smiles could fully open,
The scene suddenly shifts, and a simple yet magnificent pawnshop appears before your eyes, with three large characters prominently displayed on the plaque: Yong'an Pawnshop!
Inside the pawnshop, a young man dressed in coarse cloth was leaning back in a chair, resting with his eyes closed.
When his face was clearly revealed to everyone, the smiles on Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin's faces instantly froze.
Her smiling eyes suddenly widened, and astonishment surged into them like a tidal wave.
"impossible!"
"How is this possible?"
"How...how could he...look exactly like General Fei Peng and Immortal Long Yang?"
Yuan Tiangang was terrified and staggered back several steps.
Even if he couldn't be 100% certain that Ling Tian, the number one on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, was the blurry figure in Fei Peng's image,
But no matter what, he never imagined that Ling Tian would look exactly like Fei Peng and Long Yang!
At this moment, he witnessed it with his own eyes—
The one who was revered as the top of the list, Ling Tian, was actually the same person as Fei Peng and Long Yang.
How bizarre is this?
Haven't they stopped being surprised by the top spot?
Haven't you already thought you'd seen through some of the truth?
