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.
