Chapter 5 A Joke
If he hadn't known that Wei Jinzhong was not one to speak recklessly, he would have almost suspected that this was an absurd joke.
Of all the world, only he knows—
This trusted minister had already reached the mid-stage of the Land Immortal realm thirty years ago.
Such a level of skill would place him among the most outstanding figures in the martial arts world of China.
How could it be so easily defeated?
Absurd! Horrifying! Unbelievable!
A storm raged within the emperor's heart, leaving him frozen in place like a clay sculpture.
........
"Martial arts evolved from the Dao, and the Dao was proven through martial arts. The founder of the Nine Yin Manual was indeed extraordinary and saintly."
"In comparison, Huang's adherence to the teachings of his predecessors and his fighting over the secret manual is truly laughable."
On Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, stared at the Heavenly Dao Golden List and suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He, who was usually so aloof, now had a hint of shame on his face.
In terms of talent and ability, he claimed to be second to none in his time.
Otherwise, how could he have created all the unique skills of Peach Blossom Island?
However, he ultimately failed to go further and establish his own sect. Instead, he spent half his life fighting with the Four Great Masters over the Nine Yin Manual, earning only a hollow reputation.
Now it seems——
It was nothing but a ridiculous farce.
True strength lies in having already forged its own path.
Although Huang Yaoshi had already taken the first step, he never realized it.
Instead, they sought answers externally, wasting countless years.
At that moment, he finally realized what was happening.
Huang Yaoshi calmed his mind, his gaze as firm as iron.
He decided to go into seclusion and forge his own path.
Even though time has passed, ordinary people may sigh that it is too late.
He was full of confidence, firmly believing that this was the perfect time!
Inside the Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng stared at the Heavenly Ranking, a rare hint of surprise appearing between his brows.
"Could reading the Daoist can have such wonderful effects?"
"Zhao Gao, Zhang Han, convey my decree: order the Luo Wang and Black Ice Guards to gather all the Daoist scriptures in the world with all their might!"
"Li Si, immediately oversee the construction of a library to house all the Daoist scriptures."
"From now on, all citizens of my Great Qin who possess exceptional talent may enter the pavilion to peruse the Daoist canon!"
Ying Zheng knew that not everyone could enter the martial arts through the Dao like Huang Shang.
But among the hundreds of millions of people in the Qin Dynasty, there must be some with extraordinary talent.
Even if no one can ultimately surpass Huang Shang, this method can still help martial artists improve.
Why not do something that achieves so many benefits?
"I will obey your orders!"
Zhao Gao, Zhang Han, and Li Si accepted the order and quickly left the hall.
At the same time, all the major dynasties in Kyushu followed suit.
Even the Song Dynasty was no exception.
Even many small countries and top sects have begun to take action.
Compared to the eight great dynasties, they were not as capable, but they were still willing to do their best.
After all, who dares to say that another Huang Shang won't emerge under their command?
In an instant, the land of Kyushu was in turmoil and bustling with activity.
Only Shaolin Temple remains as silent as ever.
Their practice of Buddhism contradicts Taoism, and even if they thoroughly study the Taoist canon, they will find it difficult to gain anything.
the most important is.
If the Daoist canon contains hidden secrets, how could the Buddhist scriptures be empty?
Moreover, compared to the tedious search for the Daoist canon, the Shaolin Temple was already overflowing with scriptures, readily available. This alone gave the monks and nuns a significant advantage.
Of course, if Shaolin Temple could think of this, others would naturally not remain indifferent.
Seeing the fierce competition for the Daoist scriptures, many martial artists have set their sights on Shaolin. Among them are many desperate individuals, risking their lives for a sliver of opportunity.
Just as various masters were displaying their extraordinary abilities, the Heavenly Ranking was also unwilling to remain silent.
The list trembled slightly, then burst into golden light, once again drawing the attention of the entire land. Lines of small text slowly appeared—
[Rank 17 on the Nine Provinces Power Ceiling List: Ba Shiba, Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Land Immortal]
[Identity: Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty]
[Bashiba, once at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, was appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by Genghis Khan. He was indifferent to life and death, devoting himself to comprehending the path to transcendence.]
He held a transcendent position, surpassing even emperors; his talent was exceptional, unparalleled in the world; and he had never been defeated in his conquests.
[However, thirty years ago, Ximen Yu, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, broke through his defenses with half a move, causing him to fall to the early stage of a terrestrial immortal, and his injuries have not yet healed.]
[Heavenly Dao's evaluation: A prodigy, a dragon among men, though he has suffered setbacks, he rises from the ashes, and a legend is within his grasp!]
[Heavenly Reward: Traceless Rejuvenation Pill (If one still has a breath left, one can be completely restored without any hidden dangers)]
Although the Nine Provinces lacked the cleverness of bullet comments, the world was filled with surprise and doubt.
Immediately afterwards, gasps of astonishment rose and fell. Some were amazed, some were on guard, and some revered it as a divine revelation.
Amidst the cacophony of voices, one thing remains undeniable—Ximen Yu's prestige and the name of the Azure Dragon Society are now deeply etched in people's hearts.
Especially Ximen Yu.
It is unimaginable to the world what kind of being could possibly be half a Celestial Being!
To be honest, I wouldn't even dare to think like this in my dreams!
010-The Eighth Master Ba, relegated to a supporting role, and Ying Zheng's domineering presence!
The world finally understood why a top expert like Hua Xi was willing to accept the position of the eleventh hall master of the Azure Dragon Society.
It turns out that the Azure Dragon Society is hiding such a terrifying existence.
A mere terrestrial deity is utterly insignificant in his presence!
The entire land was shaken, and the world was in uproar!
Everyone was stunned.
His face was filled with disbelief!
Even those long-established veterans of the martial arts world,
I was speechless when I saw the contents of the Heavenly Path Golden List.
A storm raged within me!
The legendary realm of terrestrial immortals,
A height that many martial artists can never reach in their entire lives.
Now it has been reduced to a mere supporting role.
This contrast is absolutely outrageous!
Temujin recovered from his shock.
Recalling the warnings and fearful expression of the Grand Preceptor,
I just felt my scalp tingling.
Although the Great Yuan Dynasty had no shortage of experts stronger than Bashiba.
But who can be like Ximen Yu?
He knocked the Grand Preceptor down from his cultivation level with just half a move.
Could it even make it difficult to recover for thirty years?
Temujin shook his head.
I don't want to think about it anymore.
He knew perfectly well that
No one in the entire Yuan Dynasty could rival him.
I doubt that even the entire nation of Kyushu could find such an extraordinary being!
"Pass down the order: immediately search for any trace of the Azure Dragon Society!"
After a moment of silence, Temujin gave the order in a deep voice.
His eyes sparkled.
"We must contact the Grand Master of the Azure Dragon Society before they reach other countries!"
The landscape of Kyushu is about to undergo a major transformation.
The Azure Dragon Society, a mysterious and powerful organization
It may become the key to the struggle for supremacy among nations.
No one knows how many trump cards the Azure Dragon Society still has hidden!
As the Grand Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society, Ximen Yu was already renowned throughout the world and invincible!
What's even more astonishing is that the leaders of the eleven halls under the Azure Dragon Society are all powerful figures at the Land Immortal Realm.
If the leader of the eleventh hall is so powerful, how could the other hall leaders be ordinary people?
Moreover, who can say that the Azure Dragon Society only has eleven halls?
Da Qin, Xianyang Palace.
'To possess such power in just half a move, could this leader of the Azure Dragon Society have already reached that legendary realm?'
Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the silent ministers, and he pondered to himself.
Although the Twelve Realms of Martial Arts have been circulating in the Nine Provinces for a long time, even in a powerful country like Qin, the understanding of the Celestial Realm is only sporadic.
As for higher levels of attainment, apart from ancient legends, there is almost no record of them in classical texts.
Now, the Heavenly Ranking has hinted at the possibility of such an existence, forcing him to treat it with utmost caution.
'Well, since this person's strength is unfathomable, the Heavenly Ranking will surely reveal his origins. Rather than making wild guesses, it's better to observe and wait.'
He composed himself, and seeing that the officials were still immersed in shock, he coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:
"You have all witnessed the strength of the Azure Dragon Society. I will only emphasize one point—at all costs, recruit them to the Great Qin!"
"If things cannot be accomplished, we must never allow other countries to succeed!"
The authoritative voice echoed in the hall, and the assembled officials remained solemn, with no one questioning it.
They knew perfectly well that the exposure of the Heavenly Path Golden List would inevitably trigger a scramble among nations, and hesitation at this moment would mean missing the opportunity.
So everyone responded in unison:
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The Great Han Dynasty, an unnamed mountain range.
An elderly man in plain clothes gazed intently at the Heavenly Dao Golden List, his expression profound.
