"Each person shall receive one Breakthrough Pill."
Ximen Yu nodded slightly.
He gave the order in a calm and unhurried manner.
This Breakthrough Pill was obtained through years of system check-ins.
Its effects are quite simple.
It can raise your skill level by one level without any side effects.
There's even a 5% chance of being promoted two levels in a row.
The only limitation is...
Each person can only take one pill in their lifetime.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Chief Xie."
"We will certainly live up to your expectations and be promoted as soon as possible!"
Although the miraculous effects of the Breaking Yuan Pill are unknown.
But Chuan Ying and others could not hide their excitement.
A pill that the Great Dragon Head values so highly
If the effect is mediocre, wouldn't that diminish his authority?
Ximen Yu nodded slightly.
"Subordinates resign!"
When Chuan Ying and his five companions went to Dan Pavilion with Bao Qin,
The Heavenly Ranking suddenly trembled.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Several lines of writing slowly appeared:
[Ranked Jointly Thirty-First on the Nine Provinces' Strongest Ranking...]
[Ranked Jointly Thirty-One on the Nine Provinces' Strongest Ranking: Yan Kuangtu, Realm: Half-Step Mythical (originally Mid-Mythical).]
[Identity: Protector of the Tang Dynasty, former ruler of the Power Faction.]
[Yan Kuangtu, a powerful and ruthless figure, once reached the mid-stage of the Mythical Realm.]
His martial arts skills were unparalleled in the Tang Dynasty, and his fame resounded throughout the land.
[He created his own martial arts style at the age of ten, became a regional hegemon at thirteen, and was renowned throughout the martial arts world at twenty.]
He was hailed as the strongest warrior of the Tang Dynasty, a martial arts prodigy, and a madman of the world.
He once commanded the submission of both the legitimate and criminal worlds, ruled the seven seas, founded the Power Gang, and controlled vital waterways.
[Arrogant and unruly, ruthless in methods, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills, and morally ambiguous.]
Although not a wicked person, his excessive killing ultimately led to his betrayal by his followers.
The Battle of Wuyi Mountain saw sixteen factions join forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy, resulting in a bloody and earth-shattering battle that changed the very landscape.
[He was severely wounded after the battle, falling from his legendary status, and also greatly weakened the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty.]
He looked down upon the world, believing himself to be the only one worthy of respect, regarding all things as mere dust, and was unbound by worldly constraints.
His hands were covered in blood, yet he retained his pure nature, and his arrogance possessed a captivating charm.
His life was a journey of iron and blood, a history of uncompromising struggle.
After his ideals were shattered, he chose to join the Tang Dynasty and become a protector of the state, disappearing from the world's sight from then on.
Heaven's Commentary: A talent that will amaze the world, and an unparalleled arrogance.
Heaven bestows upon me the Traceless Rejuvenation Pill (as long as there is still a breath left, I can be restored to my original state without any future troubles).
..............
The strongest in the Nine Provinces - (tied) Thirty-first: Xiaoyaozi, realm: peak of the Celestial Realm.
He was the fourth leader of the Azure Dragon Society and the founder of the Free and Unfettered Sect of the Great Song Dynasty.
This peerless genius who created the Longevity Manual may be temporarily at the peak of the Celestial Realm, but he is actually unfathomable.
He was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and well-versed in medicine, divination and astrology.
Having cultivated in seclusion within the Azure Dragon Society for many years, he has further refined his foundation.
Anyone can step into the half-step mythical realm at any time if they wish.
But witnessing the achievements of the second-in-command, Ling Donglai, and the third-in-command, Dugu Qiubai, he was unwilling to fall behind.
He had long ago made a grand vow: to directly leap beyond the half-step mythical realm and aim straight for the supreme mythical realm!
Although the difficulty increases significantly, success can save a lot of time.
He firmly believed that his talent was no less than anyone else's.
With his extraordinary talent, coupled with the strong resources of the Azure Dragon Society.
I believe that soon we will be able to break through the shackles of heaven and man and reach the realm of mythology!
Become a rare and supreme powerhouse in the Nine Provinces!
Heaven's Commentary: Unparalleled ambition, unprecedented and unmatched!
Heaven bestows: Enlightenment Pill (helps people achieve sudden enlightenment; the higher one's talent, the better the effect).
The land of Kyushu fell into a deathly silence.
Even as the strange phenomena on the Heavenly Ranking gradually dissipated, the world remained astonished.
He stood there, stunned, his face full of shock.
The matter has not subsided for a long time!
Although Xiaoyaozi had already been listed on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, when people saw his name again, they still felt an overwhelming sense of reverence.
Throughout history, numerous heroes have emerged in the martial arts world, but very few have been able to create a method for achieving immortality.
For this reason alone, people revered him as a god.
As for Yan the Madman—
Although he has not been seen for many years, the martial arts world has gradually forgotten about this madman.
Now that the list of successful candidates has been revealed, those long-forgotten legends are being remembered once again.
Exclamations of amazement echoed throughout Kyushu, rising one after another and soaring into the heavens.
After a long while, the excited crowd gradually calmed down and began to discuss it excitedly.
"It's him! My master once told me that he swept through the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty!"
"That's right! Back in the day, they were a legendary figure in Kyushu! If it weren't for the intervention of a reclusive master, no one could rival them!"
"I thought he had perished from his injuries, but unexpectedly he became a courtier of the Tang Dynasty! Truly worthy of being called the greatest madman in the world!"
"With the Traceless Rejuvenation Pill, Senior Yan will surely return to his peak, and might even break through his limits!"
"A supreme mythical realm! If I could meet such a person in this lifetime, I would die without regret!"
"Hmph, what's so special about the Mythical Realm? Senior Xiaoyao has mastered the secret of immortality! Given time, who knows what realm he'll reach!"
"That's right! If Yan Kuangtu hadn't obtained the Limitless Immortal Pill back then, he might not have achieved what he has today, let alone be comparable to Senior Xiaoyao."
"In any case, these two are among the strongest experts of our time. To be able to become their disciples would be an immense honor!"
Amidst the heated discussions, the entire land of Kyushu was abuzz with excitement.
A debate suddenly erupted in the martial arts world about who was stronger, Yan Kuangtu or Xiaoyaozi.
The martial artists, who had been talking in hushed tones, suddenly split into two major camps.
Chapter 110 The Method of Immortality
One side insists on the view that strength is paramount.
In their view:
Even though Xiaoyaozi was exceptionally gifted and created a method for achieving immortality.
But as long as Yan Kuangtu recovers his mid-mythical cultivation level.
Xiaoyaozi is definitely no match for him!
Opponents, however, offered a different perspective:
Although Yan Kuangtu is strong.
But Xiaoyaozi possesses the secret to immortality.
Furthermore, it is supported by the vast resources of the Azure Dragon Society.
Behind him was Ximen Yu, the number one expert in Kyushu, who provided guidance.
How can victory or defeat be determined arbitrarily?
The debate intensified.
Many martial artists were so excited that their faces turned red.
Some even started fighting on the spot.
Such fervor.
This left the onlookers speechless.
They immediately crossed their arms and watched the spectacle.
............
Inside the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng gazed at the Heavenly List.
"Yan the Madman?"
"Still alive?"
"The Tang Dynasty actually benefited from this."
Back then, all eight dynasties were interested in recruiting this prodigy.
Unfortunately, a sudden change occurred in Wuyishan.
When the spies from various dynasties arrived.
Yan Kuangtu had already been seriously injured and disappeared.
After searching extensively without success.
Everyone thought he had perished.
Unexpectedly, it was brought under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Heavenly Ranking hadn't revealed the truth, this secret would probably never have been known!
What a brilliant tactic!
Ying Zheng secretly admired him, his eyes revealing a deep interest.
He withdrew his gaze and asked calmly, "Has any news come from Yunzhou?"
"Not...not yet," Zhao Gao answered nervously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Upon hearing this reply, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and gave him a displeased look.
After a moment's hesitation, he ordered in a deep voice, "Send someone to contact Xiong Ba and see if we can get any useful information from him."
Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will make the arrangements immediately."
After speaking, he bowed respectfully and withdrew.
