Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

Meanwhile, inside the Eastern Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"System check-in!" After a busy day, Xia Taige suddenly realized that he hadn't checked in yet!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving sweet potato seeds!]

Seeing this, Xia Taige was overjoyed; it was yet another high-yield grain seed!

Compared to potatoes, sweet potatoes are not as demanding in terms of soil requirements.

In ancient times, there were no chemical fertilizers to nourish the land, resulting in varying degrees of soil fertility.

The availability of sweet potatoes and potatoes can completely alleviate Xia Taige's worries.

For ordinary people today, being able to eat their fill is already a great satisfaction!

At that time, with the widespread promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the number of people who starve to death will be reduced by several times.

Otherwise, if a natural disaster were to occur in the future, even if Xia Taige had the will, he would be powerless to help the people.

In ancient times, one of the most important factors restricting population growth was food.

The emergence of potatoes and sweet potatoes also helped to better develop the population.

With this in mind, Xia Taige decided not to delay any longer.

It's a good opportunity to plant them together with the potatoes grown outside the city, and see how much the two crops can yield per acre.

Xia Taige looked up at Zhao Gao beside him, handed him the sweet potato seeds, and instructed him:

"Plant them outside the city, just like the potatoes last time. Strengthen security as well; no one is allowed to approach!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gao solemnly stepped forward to take it and then turned to leave.

Not long after Zhao Gao left, Cang He suddenly appeared in the main hall!

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Canghe still wore a smile on his face!

"But the rankings are in the results?"

Xia Taige couldn't stop thinking about the rankings. This morning, he had just been tricked by the Great Thunder Temple, and Xia Taige couldn't wait to cause them some trouble!

"Your Highness, after several days of effort, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion plans to release a Grandmaster Ranking, which will record twenty individuals who have made the list!"

"The only question is, I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to be on the list!"

"Now that Your Highness's strength has been exposed, if Your Highness is not on the ranking list, people might doubt its authenticity!"

Cang He was quite conflicted about whether Xia Taige should be on the list.

If a list isn't published, people will doubt its authenticity; if it is, then the ranking becomes another question.

If Xia Taige were ranked number one, he would definitely become the focus of the entire Chinese continent, which would completely contradict the original intention of establishing the ranking list.

But in Canghe's heart, Xia Taige was his master, and to place him below others would be an insult to Xia Taige's dignity!

In retrospect, it would have been better to have directly revealed the strength of the Land Immortal Realm yesterday, so that we wouldn't have had to worry about these trivial matters anymore!

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige understood.

"Whatever you like, you decide!"

Xia Taige didn't care much about whether he made the list or not, as his strength had already been exposed by the bald monk of the Great Thunder Temple!

"Yes!" Cang He replied. After some internal struggle, he took out the list he was carrying and handed it to Xia Taige for review.

After Xia Taige took the list, he glanced at it and immediately recognized several familiar faces!

{Ranked seventh on the Grandmaster list!}

{Name: Xiaoyaozi!}

{Strength: Peak Grandmaster!}

{Power Level: Deputy Director of the Great Xia Martial Arts Division!}

{Status: Outside of the Great Xia Wang Clan, defeated the Wang Clan's patriarch in a single move!}

{Tenth on the Grandmaster Ranking!}

{Name: Zhao Gao!}

{Strength: Peak Grandmaster!}

{Power Level: Deputy Director of the Great Xia Martial Arts Division!}

{Achievement: On the night of the massacre at Qingyuan Temple, within a few breaths, he crippled the old abbot's cultivation!}

{Ranked #1 on the Grandmaster list!}

{Name: Xia Taige!}

{Strength: Peak Grandmaster!}

{Power: Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty!}

{Battle Record: Escaped from pursuit by a terrestrial immortal in the capital of Great Xia!}

Xia Taige glanced at it briefly, somewhat speechless, then turned to the cheerful Cang He beside him and asked:

"Aren't there a lot of people on the list?"

"Your Highness, both deputy directors of the Zhenwu Division have already revealed their strength. If they are not included, there will be no credibility!"

Xia Taige felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this!

In the Grandmaster Ranking, out of twenty people, Xia Taige's influence alone has already made it onto the list three times.

This completely contradicts Xia Taige's original intention in creating the ranking list!

Originally, the plan was to use fame and fortune to incite conflict among martial arts practitioners, but now it seems that the plan has become to use fame and fortune to incite conflict among martial arts practitioners against the Zhenwu Division!

Thinking about it this way, Xia Taige suddenly felt that this might be a good idea!

The higher the ranking, the greater the deterrent effect of the Zhenwu Division in the future!

In the future, after a series of struggles, as the credibility of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion grows stronger, the deterrent power of the Zhenwu Division will also become stronger!

In the future, anyone or any force that dares to openly oppose the Zhenwu Division will have to consider how strong they are on the ranking list!

In this way, on the one hand, they can use the name of the challenge to deal with these martial arts practitioners, and on the other hand, they can use the ranking to enhance the deterrent power of the Zhenwu Division. In this way, it is a win-win situation!

Thinking about it this way, Xia Taige felt much better!

I immediately flipped through the leaderboard again to take a closer look!

Xia Taige was still somewhat curious about the person ranked first on the Grandmaster list, except for Xia Taige himself!

{Ranked second on the Grandmaster list!}

{Name: Gu Bin!}

{Strength: Peak Grandmaster!}

{Power Level: Current Leader of Kunlun Mountain!}

{Battle Record: Eight years ago, he fought the two protectors of the Divine Cult for over a hundred rounds, ending in a draw before departing!}

{Ranked third among Grandmasters!}

{Name: Yichen!}

{Strength: Peak Grandmaster!}

{Faction: Lord of Immortal Island!}

{Achievements: Eleven years ago, he bravely stormed the Shang Dynasty's imperial palace and, despite the obstruction of several Grandmasters, forcefully took away the Shang Dynasty's eldest princess!}

Seeing this, Xia Taige was quite familiar with the two of them. He had heard many legends about Gu Bin and Yi Chen when he was young!

Legend has it that the two major powers, Kunlun Mountain and Immortal Island, have existed for over a thousand years, even longer than the three great dynasties!

Xia Taige speculated that both major powers likely possessed powerful cultivators at the Land Immortal Realm; otherwise, the Great Shang Dynasty, having suffered such a humiliating defeat, would not have remained completely inactive.

Eleven years ago, Yi Chen's daring intrusion into the Shang Dynasty's imperial palace caused the Shang Dynasty to be ridiculed in the martial arts world.

Even more remarkably, due to the impact of this incident, the once-great Shang Dynasty even became a popular spot for martial arts enthusiasts.

Many people who considered themselves exceptionally capable and skilled chose to sneak into the Shang Dynasty palace at night, attempting to prove their abilities and courage.

During that period, the Shang Dynasty palace was in constant turmoil, with guards running around frantically but unable to stop these people's crazy actions.
