Yang Huan defeated Wu Que after a prolonged sword fight. Spared by Yang Huan, Wu Que was then offered a deal: if he helped Yang Huan seize control of the Sun Moon Cult, Yang Huan would reveal the truth about Jiang Xiaoyu and Wu Que's origins. Meanwhile, news of the defeat reached the Heavenly Machination Tower, but they mistakenly believed Lin Chong, not Yang Huan, was responsible.

Hahaha, what an amusing turn of events! Who would have foreseen that the humble Huashan Sect would suddenly produce two extraordinary talents!

In stark contrast, the Huashan Sect Leader, Yue Buqun, appears rather ordinary. One might wonder if he is intentionally hiding his true power or if he is genuinely lacking in talent.

The steward of the Heavens Secrets Tower chuckled heartily, displaying a keen interest in both Yang Huan and the Huashan Sect.

He promptly issued an order, stating, "Since Yang Huan has emerged victorious against Hua Wu Que, he shall assume Hua Wu Que's position on the ranking and provide a comprehensive report of the battle for re-evaluation."

"Understood!"

Xingcheng, Tianfu Inn.

Although Hua Wu Que had already secured a lodging, he was presently within Yang Huan's room.

The two beautiful women, Helu and Hesuang, were also permitted to enter.

Yang Huan and Hua Wu Que were engaged in drinking, presenting an image of amiable camaraderie.

Primarily because Yang Huan possessed a limited understanding of the martial world, he sought to inquire about certain matters.

"Young Master Hua, could you enlighten me on the nature of the Heavens Secrets Tower and the Innate Ranking?" Yang Huan asked.

"You are unfamiliar with these, Young Master Yang?" Hua Wu Que appeared taken aback.

"I seldom venture beyond the mountain, and I rarely pay heed to matters concerning the world below," Yang Huan replied by way of explanation.

Hua Wu Que offered a faint smile, a smile of exceptional charm.

This caused Helu, Hesuang, and even Huang Rong to gaze in admiration.

However, for Helu and Hesuang, this sight was even more astonishing, as they had not witnessed Hua Wu Que smile in many years.

Within their hearts, they perceived that their young master had undergone a transformation.

Simultaneously, they harbored a slight apprehension that this fellow surnamed Yang might prove to be an ill influence on their young master.

In truth, Hua Wu Que was quite amiable and had never refused to engage with others. Nevertheless, due to his imposing aura, individuals typically hesitated to approach him too closely.

The Flowery Palace, being a place of profound solitude, had indeed meant he had never smiled since his youth.

The Heavens Secrets Tower materialized approximately a century ago. It is rumored that its master possesses peerless martial arts prowess, having attained the legendary realm of unity between man and nature.

The Heavens Secrets Tower commands formidable influence, to the extent that even the imperial court, with its vast army, dares not lightly provoke them.

Furthermore, the organization maintains a discreet profile, shrouded in mystery, with few of its high-ranking members making public appearances. My own knowledge of the Heavens Secrets Tower is similarly limited.

In essence, the Heavens Secrets Tower functions as an intelligence agency. They amass a considerable volume of information and also disseminate it for acquisition.

The Innate Ranking is a compilation meticulously maintained by the Heavens Secrets Tower, enumerating the most skilled individuals within the Innate Realm. This ranking is periodically revised based on their combat achievements.

Today, following Wu Que's defeat at the hands of the young master Yang, it will not be long before this news circulates globally. Consequently, Young Master Yang will ascend to his rightful place on the list, achieving renown across the world.

Upon receiving Hua Wu Que's detailed explanation, Yang Huan finally comprehended the situation.

He had not anticipated the existence of such a sophisticated organization within this world; it was indeed quite intriguing.

"Who else graces the Innate Ranking? Is Linghu Chong among them?" Yang Huan inquired with a touch of curiosity.

"The current foremost position on the Innate Ranking is occupied by Yang Xiao, the Carefree Envoy of the Ming Cult."

"Young Master Linghu is also represented on the list, holding the fifteenth position, a tie with Sect Leader Ren."

Yang Huan had not expected Yang Xiao to be solely within the Innate Realm. However, Yang Xiao's martial arts were likely situated at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm, a whisker away from achieving the Grandmaster level.

Linghu Chong held the fifteenth rank, placing him two positions below Hua Wu Que.

This information bolstered Yang Huan's confidence considerably.

"Naturally, such rankings are merely for reference," Hua Wu Que added.

"After all, neither Hua Wu Que nor Linghu Chong have directly engaged in combat, making it challenging to definitively ascertain their relative strengths."

"Beyond the Innate Ranking, are there any other such lists? Perhaps a Grandmaster List or a Great Grandmaster List?" Yang Huan probed further.

"In addition to the Innate Ranking, a Grandmaster List exists, but there is no compilation for Great Grandmasters."

"Great Grandmasters are exceedingly rare, and the precise number of individuals who have attained this level remains unknown."

"Moreover, Great Grandmasters seldom reveal their presence or engage in overt actions, hence the absence of a Great Grandmaster List." Hua Wu Que provided the answer.

Within this world, individuals achieving the Great Grandmaster realm were already exceptionally uncommon.

The state of unity between man and nature was a concept spoken of only in the hushed tones of legend.

The exact number of those who had reached the pinnacle of Great Grandmaster was a closely guarded secret, known only to a select few.

For instance, the true status of Zhang Sanfeng, the revered figure of Wudang, and his actual cultivation realm, remained a mystery to all.

However, it was an established fact that Zhang Sanfeng had originated as a Great Grandmaster!

He might even have transcended into the realm of unity between man and nature!

"Who currently holds the top position on the Grandmaster List?" Yang Huan inquired without delay.

Hua Wu Que identified The Iron-hearted Marquis, Zhu Wushi, who was protecting Dragon Mountain Villas.

What? Is Zhu Wushi merely a Grandmaster?

Yang Huan questioned the validity of this ranking.

I am not very familiar with the specifics, but he does hold the highest position on the Grandmaster List, Hua Wu Que replied.

And my Auntie Yueyue? What is her position? Yang Huan inquired further.

My aunt is ranked seventh.

With Auntie Yueyue in seventh place, what kind of formidable individuals are on this Grandmaster List?

However, upon further reflection, it appears quite reasonable for Zhu Wushi to be at the pinnacle and Yueyue to occupy the seventh spot.

Still, Yang Huan found it difficult to accept that Zhu Wushi was only a Grandmaster; it seemed impossible!

In truth, Zhu Wushi was not a Grandmaster; he was simply adept at concealing his true abilities!

Alright, it is growing late. You should get some rest; we must depart for Heimu Cliff tomorrow, Yang Huan stated.

In that case, Wu Que shall take his leave.

Hua Wu Que stood, performed a customary salutation with clasped fists, offered his goodbyes, and prepared to depart.

Wait.

Yang Huan called out to Hua Wu Que.

Is there something further, Young Master Yang?

Hua Wu Que's eyebrows knitted slightly. He perceived an unusual quality in Yang Huan's smile.

A sense of foreboding settled in his heart.

With a smile, Yang Huan proposed, Wu Que, I notice your two maids are quite lovely. Perhaps they could spend tonight with me, and I shall then share the information directly.

Hua Luolu and Hua Luoshuang's faces contorted in shock, their eyes wide with fear.

They understood that Hua Wu Que was in a vulnerable position with Yang Huan, fearing he might betray them.

Simultaneously, Hua Wu Que's expression turned frigid. He declared to Yang Huan, Young Master Yang, while I earnestly desire the truth from you, if the cost involves Hua Luolu, Hua Luoshuang, or any other woman, I would prefer to remain in ignorance.

This response was precisely what Yang Huan had anticipated.

Given Hua Wu Que's character, he would never agree to such terms.

Upon hearing Hua Wu Que's refusal, Hua Luolu and Hua Luoshuang exhaled in relief. Their respect for their young master deepened.

However, Yang Huan continued, If women are not to your liking, what about men? I have yet to explore the pleasures of same-sex intimacy. Young Master Hua, your appearance is rather appealing. Would you object to spending the night with me?

You.. Hua Wu Que's fury ignited, and he prepared to retort.

Meanwhile, Yang Huan disregarded his own sense of propriety, thinking: Could such a person truly exist in this world?

Sensing Hua Wu Que's intent to confront him, Yang Huan swiftly added, I was only joking, merely jesting. Young Master Hua, fret not. Yang has no inclination towards same-sex relations, hahaha!

Kindly refrain from such jests in the future, Young Master Yang.

With those words, Hua Wu Que departed in a huff, consumed by anger.

[Ding! Teasing Hua Wu Que has activated the Evil Deeds System.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward: Three years of pure inner Qi.]

[Note: Significant rewards await if the host successfully conquers a powerful male opponent!]

Yang Huan: Get lost!
