Chapter 22

However, Shi Shi Feixuan does not hate the Empress!

Because, at the very least, Empress Wu Zhao did not wipe out Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai!

Empress Wu Zhao came from the Yin Gui Sect, a formidable enemy of the former Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai!

However, after she ascended the throne and held all power in her hands, she wiped the Yin Gui Sect clean.

Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, as the mortal enemy of the Yin Gui Sect, originally thought it would not escape the same fate!

But the Empress actually showed mercy to Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai!

She only forbade Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai from interfering in any matters related to the imperial court!

Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai has been silent ever since!

Shi Shi Feixuan thought of those past events and sighed endlessly.

Once upon a time, she was also peerless in beauty, and the world called her Fairy Shi!

But now, the Azure Cloud Ranking has appeared!

Shi Shi Feixuan is afraid she no longer has the qualifications to make the list!

Just at this moment.

Shi Shi Feixuan saw Gong Jiu make the list!

The Heavenly Dao rewarded Gong Jiu with a supreme Buddhist martial art—the "Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon"!

"Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon..."

"Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai cannot perish in my hands!"

"I must do something!"

"Since this 'Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon' is a supreme Buddhist martial art bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, it must have unparalleled power!"

"If I can get my hands on this canon, perhaps I can start anew, let Qin Mengyao and the others leave Wu Chao, head to the Great Ming, and re-establish Pudu Cihang Pudu Cihang Jingzhai!"

"Gong Jiu... Taiping Prince..."

"The Taiping Prince's conspiracy to rebel has been exposed; he will surely be investigated by the Ming Emperor."

"He will definitely be in mortal danger!"

"If I can save this Taiping Prince and then make a condition with Gong Jiu to exchange for the 'Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon', it should be possible to succeed!"

PS: Please give flowers and evaluation tickets! First update of the day!

……

Southern Song Dynasty.

Putian.

Southern Northern Shaolin Temple.

Great Hero Hall.

The Abbot of Southern Northern Shaolin, Fang Zheng, was watching the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament together with a group of Southern Northern Shaolin monks.

They also noticed the supreme Buddhist martial art rewarded to Gong Jiu by the Heavenly Dao—the "Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon"!

At this moment, Fang Zheng was heard saying: "Everyone, what are your thoughts on this 'Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon'?"

The group of high monks of Southern Northern Shaolin looked at each other.

One person spoke up: "Abbot, I feel that since it is a supreme Buddhist martial art, there is no reason for it to fall into the hands of an outsider."

"Since it is a reward from the Heavenly Dao, it is not easy for us to take it by force."

"However, we can trade for it, using our temple's supreme martial art, the 'Yijin Jing', to exchange for this technique!"

Fang Zheng heard this, nodded slightly, and said: "If this old monk's guess is correct!"

"The Northern Sect is currently also studying this supreme Buddhist martial art bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!"

"For over a hundred years, we Northern and Southern Northern Shaolin have been arguing over who is the orthodox lineage of Zen."

"Now, this old monk believes the opportunity has come."

"As long as we can obtain this 'Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon', we can prove that our Southern Northern Shaolin is favored by the Heavenly Dao!"

"And is the undisputed orthodox lineage of Zen!"

The group of high monks of Southern Northern Shaolin spoke up one after another: "The Abbot is absolutely right!"

Fang Zheng immediately pointed out several high monks and ordered them to head to the Great Ming immediately, find Gong Jiu, and bring back the "Eight Divisions Pagoda Canon"!

Meanwhile.

On the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament, golden light shone once again!

New figures have made the list!

[Twenty-second place on the Nine Provinces Azure Cloud Ranking—Wei Zhuang!]

[Identity: Great Qin Dynasty strategist, successor of the Ghost Valley Horizontal Sword Technique.]

[His body is filled with evil energy and dominance; his martial arts are unfathomable.]

[He is the current supreme leader of "Liusha", one of the most mysterious organizations in the Nine Provinces.]

[Martial Arts Realm: Fifth-grade Grandmaster!]

[Potential Index: Seven stars!]

[Combat Power Index: Eight stars!]

[Danger Index: Six stars!]

[Current Age: Thirty years old!]

[Lifespan: Thirty-three years old!]

[Reward: "White Hair Thousand Flow Technique", a supreme martial arts secret manual; practicing it to the highest realm allows one to reach the peak of Heaven-Human.]

[Withered Wood Meets Spring Pill, this pill can only be taken by those on the verge of death; it can restore vitality and increase lifespan by twenty years, just like withered wood meeting spring!]

Wow!

Wei Zhuang making the list immediately caused the high monks of Southern Northern Shaolin to frown.

Fang Zheng pressed his palms together and said: "Ghost Valley successor, Wei Zhuang!"

"Although the Great Qin is far from the Southern Song Dynasty, the name of Ghost Valley has been known throughout the world for over a hundred years!"

"To think this Wei Zhuang is actually a Ghost Valley successor!"

"And the supreme leader of that Liusha!"

"Only thirty years old, and already a top-tier expert at the fifth-grade Grandmaster level!"

"Although his lifespan is only thirty-three years, the Heavenly Dao rewarded him with a Withered Wood Meets Spring Pill, which can extend his life by twenty years if taken when he is on the verge of death!"

"The Heavenly Dao has not treated him poorly."

Fang Zheng evaluated.

The surrounding high monks of Southern Northern Shaolin did not say much.

……

Great Qin.

Dizhou.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng frowned immediately upon seeing Wei Zhuang make the list.

He naturally knew of Wei Zhuang.

Previously, Wei Zhuang had just cooperated with Li Si to destroy the Mohist Mechanical City!

Ying Zheng had long heard of Wei Zhuang's strength!

However, he did not expect.

Wei Zhuang was already at the fifth-grade Grandmaster level.

Even more surprising was that Wei Zhuang's lifespan was only thirty-three years!

Of course, none of this was enough to cause much of a ripple in Ying Zheng's heart.

However, when Ying Zheng saw the reward given to Wei Zhuang by the Heavenly Dao.

He could no longer sit still.

Withered Wood Meets Spring Pill, taken by those on the verge of death, restores vitality and extends life by twenty years!

This pill is too powerful!

Compared to the Longevity Pill that only increases life by ten years, the effect is even more significant!
