Then the problem is coming.
If higher realms are rarer, why are terrestrial immortals so scarce?
The answer is obvious—
This ranking only considers combat power!
There are many more powerful figures hidden in the Nine Provinces Continent who have not yet been listed.
Their combat strength is simply slightly inferior to those on the list.
Even above the terrestrial immortals, there are probably more than those listed on the Golden List!
Ying Zheng snapped out of his thoughts.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of Mount Li.
A faint smile played on her lips as she softly said:
"interesting."
......
Wu Zetian glanced indifferently at the Heavenly Dao Golden List in the sky.
Listen attentively to Shangguan Wan'er's report.
Her stunningly beautiful face showed no sign of emotion.
Shangguan Wan'er has finished her report.
Wu Zetian yawned lazily and said casually:
"There is no need to interfere in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty; let nature take its course."
"The Xuanming Sect has been making quite a stir lately. Does the Bad People have any information?"
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then responded respectfully:
"According to the intelligence reports from the Bad Guys, a thousand-year-old fire spirit mushroom has appeared in Qingcheng Mountain."
"The Xuanming Sect, Tongwen Hall, Huanyin Pavilion, and a mysterious force have all gathered here."
Is it a thousand-year-old artifact?
Wu Zetian's eyes flickered slightly.
The Nine Provinces Continent is rich in spiritual herbs, but those that are ancient are few and far between. Even the eight great dynasties, with their profound heritage, still have rare spiritual herbs that are thousands of years old.
After a moment's hesitation, she gave the order indifferently:
"Find out which force!"
"We must get our hands on the Fire Spirit Mushroom!"
"Yes, sir!" Shangguan Wan'er replied solemnly.
The Great Sui Dynasty, an unnamed mountain cave.
Xiang Yutian, dressed in a green robe, stared intently at the Heavenly Path Golden List, his face ashen.
He, the dignified Demon Emperor of the Demonic Sect and a powerful expert in the Celestial Realm, was publicly exposed for his shameful act of going mad because of his appearance!
Even if Heaven bestowed upon him the Bodhi Heart-Cleansing Elixir, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.
What's even more frustrating is that, despite his fury, he was powerless against the Heavenly Ranking.
With nowhere to vent his frustration, he could only furiously bombard the surrounding mountains until he was exhausted and had to stop.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he growled through gritted teeth:
"Ximen Yu... one day, I, the Emperor, will make you kneel before me!"
Chapter 12 Mountain Villa
Before he could finish speaking, the scene from that night thirty years ago reappeared in his mind.
His pupils contracted sharply, and the look of fear vanished in an instant, only to be overshadowed by a surge of rage.
At the top of Qinglong Mountain Villa.
Ximen Yu was completely unaware that he had become a thorn in the side of others.
After paying respects to her mother, Jiang Yuyan took her back to the mountain villa.
At this moment, in the spacious hall of the manor, two tall figures stood quietly. They were none other than the Azure Dragon Society members, November Hua Xi and May Li Cang Hai, who had intrigued countless people across the Nine Provinces.
Seated at the head of the table, Ximen Yu remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the two stunningly beautiful women, each possessing their own unique charm, before speaking indifferently:
"You are already aware of the Seven Dragon Heads matter. Pass down the order: if Zhang Sanfeng joins the Azure Dragon Society, all invading sects will be annihilated. The Azure Dragon Society will not tolerate any disrespect, and its members even less so!"
His voice was soft, but it carried a chilling murderous intent.
"If Zhang Sanfeng refuses, then we will unite with other sects to raze Wudang to the ground."
Regardless of the outcome, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be engulfed in bloodshed.
Hua Xi and Li Canghai nodded in agreement with unfazed expressions. Ximen Yu was not surprised at all—although the Azure Dragon Society was little known, it had already stirred up countless bloody storms in the eight great dynasties. As the elites of the society, they were already used to killing.
"Hua Xi," Ximen Yu suddenly changed the subject, "You haven't returned to Yihua Palace for many years. This time, you can bring Yaoyue and Lianxing to serve you. Yihua Palace will then serve as an external force of the Azure Dragon Society."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Hua Xi's usually composed eyes. She knew the Azure Dragon Society's strength well—it was by joining this mysterious organization that she, a proud and ambitious person, was able to ascend to the Heavenly Ranking and stand out among the many terrestrial immortals.
(Numbers and special symbols have been arranged as required)
Divine weapons, martial arts manuals, miraculous elixirs, and rare treasures!
As long as you make contributions to the Azure Dragon Society and complete the assigned tasks.
These are all within easy reach!
Yaoyue and Lianxing were her personally trained disciples.
She had always wanted to recruit the two of them into the Azure Dragon Society.
However, due to the rules of the association.
I have never been able to achieve my goal.
Hearing Ximen Yu's words at this moment.
How could she not be overjoyed!
"Thank you, Great Dragon Chief!"
He suppressed his inner joy.
Hua Xi bowed respectfully.
"No need for such formalities."
Ximen Yu waved his hand casually.
Their gazes shifted to Li Canghai, who was clad in a black robe.
"Go to the Song Dynasty."
"Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui are still useful; let them serve in the September and October Hall."
Although the Western Xia was a small country.
With the strength of the Azure Dragon Society, they could be wiped out with a flick of their finger.
But since there are existing forces available, there is no need to start from scratch.
As for Wu Xingyun, he valued the four sword attendants under his command, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
"I've heard that Wu Yazi's granddaughter and those two girls named Azhu and Abi are exceptionally beautiful."
"I'll take them with me!"
Li Canghai responded with a smile.
He completely disregarded the wishes of the three women.
Ximen Yu glanced at her with a hint of surprise.
He nodded calmly.
"Okay, then bring it back to have a look."
As a superior who makes decisive decisions.
He has always only sought possession.
We adhere to the principle of prioritizing people over their hearts.
He had no interest in romantic relationships.
This is also why, when mentioning Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun, Wu Yazi is never mentioned.
Wu Yazi was nothing but a complete mediocre talent!
Poor handling of emotions.
The sect was poorly managed.
Even though Wu Yazi's martial arts skills were decent.
He showed no intention of recruiting them.
I just find it an eyesore!
I overheard their conversation.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hua Xi's lowered eyes.
Li Canghai's affection for the Great Dragon Head was not widely known.
But it was a semi-public secret during the meeting.
This is precisely why she immediately stormed Blackwood Cliff after hearing that Dongfang Bubai had publicly declared his love for her.
But what she saw before her left her puzzled.
Hua Xi was filled with doubt.
She clearly admired the Dragon King, so why did she still search for—no, offer herself to other women?
Such behavior is truly perplexing.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she couldn't even remember how she left the villa.
After the two women left, Ximen Yu remembered Li Canghai's words, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he gently shook his head.
Then, he asked in a calm tone, "What is the situation in the Han Dynasty?"
A cold, mechanical voice rang out from the shadows: "With Dong Zhuo in power, the world will descend into chaos, and warlords will carve up the empire."
Ximen Yu pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Accelerate the plan. Also, retrieve the Fire Spirit Mushroom from Qingcheng Mountain."
Many covet this piece of fat meat, the Han Dynasty.
Twenty years ago, he had already secretly laid out his plans, and not only the Han Dynasty, but also the other seven great dynasties were included in his schemes.
This matter was kept extremely secret; even within the Azure Dragon Society, only a handful of people knew about it.
"Yes, sir," the voice from the shadows replied.
Soon after, the Heavenly Dao Golden List, which had been hanging quietly in the sky, suddenly shone brightly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, lines of golden text appeared on it—
[Nine Provinces Power Ranking - 13th Place: Bei Mingzi, Cultivation: Early Celestial Realm.]
[Identity: A reclusive master of the Heavenly Sect of Taoism in the Great Qin Dynasty.]
[Bei Mingzi lost both his parents at a young age and was taken in as a personal disciple by the sect leader of the Heavenly Sect. Soon after entering the sect, he displayed astonishing talent, mastering all of the Heavenly Sect's unique skills in just twenty years.]
After that, he became obsessed with Taoist scriptures and spent many years in seclusion practicing them. Surprisingly, thirty years of dedicated study not only did not cause his cultivation to stagnate, but it actually made even greater progress.
By sheer chance, he even entered the state of enlightenment that countless martial artists dream of.
Three hundred days later, as everyone in the Heavenly Sect watched in astonishment, Bei Mingzi broke free from the shackles of the mortal realm and entered the Celestial Profound Realm!
[Heavenly Dao's Commentary: A peerless genius with extraordinary talent, he has the potential to create a legend!]
