Chapter 267

【Identity: Cultivator from Yunzhou, unaffiliated.】

【Third Pig Emperor, a formidable blade master of Yunzhou.】

【His innate talent and comprehension are so extraordinary that, across all of Yunzhou, few can surpass him!】

【The primary reason he bears the title "Third Pig Emperor" is, in fact, tied to himself.】

【He is naturally gluttonous, and over years of indulgence, his body has grown massive; coupled with his lazy disposition and fondness for teasing beautiful women, he has no deep devotion to the blade Dao.】

【Thus, he earned the title "Third Pig Emperor."】

【Yet this also reveals that even with minimal effort, he still secured third place—his terrifying talent is evident!】

【If he could abandon these two vices and devote himself entirely to blade cultivation, even attaining the Heavenly Blade might not be out of reach.】

【Alas, gold has no flawless feet, and no man is perfect!】

【Heaven's Judgment: Contentment brings lasting joy; free of attachments, the Mythical Realm is imminent.】

【Heaven's Reward: Mythical Breakthrough Pill (increases the user's chance of breakthrough to the Mythical Realm by eighty percent)】

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List — (tied) 37th: Guiguzi, Cultivation: Peak Human Realm.】

【Identity: Founding ancestor of the Qin school of Diplomacy and Strategy.】

【He is the sole survivor among the powerful who once served under Longshouxi Sect's Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.】

【He was fortunate, yet unfortunate.】

【Fortunate, because surviving granted him the chance to receive Heaven's reward: the Bone Reformation Pill.】

【His stagnant cultivation, after this ordeal, shattered and was reborn, instantly breaking through to the Peak Human Realm—just one step away from ascending to the supreme Mythical Realm!】

【Unfortunate, because his name was exposed on the Heaven's Golden List.】

【Even though his cultivation has fully recovered and even advanced, he dares not show himself, fearing Ximen Wudi will come looking for him.】

【Thus, though he has broken through to the Peak Human Realm, a mental demon of Ximen Wudi remains eternally lodged in his heart.】

【As long as he cannot overcome this mental demon, he will never ascend to the supreme Mythical Realm.】

【Heaven's Judgment: Success comes through Ximen Wudi; failure comes through Ximen Wudi.】

【Heaven's Reward: Bodhi Mind-Clearing Pill (suppresses mental demons upon consumption)】

As the final character on the Heaven's Golden List appeared.

The Nine Provinces fell into silence.

After a long while.

The world finally snapped back to awareness.

If

Guiguzi's listing made them feel the famed, mysterious founder of Diplomacy and Strategy was overrated,

then the Third Pig Emperor's listing filled them with endless envy, jealousy, and resentment.

There was no help for it.

The list's contents were simply too enraging and infuriating!

He possessed such terrifying talent,

yet refused to apply himself to cultivation.

It was a complete waste of Heaven's favor!!

So what if he loved food?

So what if he loved beautiful women?!

Once he reaches the peak realm,

won't these things still be plentiful?!

Of course,

where there are opponents, there are supporters.

Though the number of supporters is small,

they still form a minority segment.

In short,

across the entire Nine Provinces,

discussions raged everywhere!

Qin, Xianyanggong.

"Guiguzi has become a pathetic shadow of his former self!"

"I once thought he was a man of substance!"

As he read the Heaven's Golden List,

Hearing Ying Zheng, burdened heavily, let out a cold snort.

His words dripped with contempt.

He was the founding ancestor of an entire school of thought!

This cowardice is a disgrace to the people of Qin!!

"Your Majesty, the Third Pig Emperor is still an unaffiliated cultivator, and his talent is extraordinary."

"Why not recruit him to serve Qin?"

Beside him,

Zhao Gao organized his words and spoke up with a suggestion.

Never mind whether he'd be willing to abandon his vices,

even if he didn't, he remains a Peak Human Realm cultivator.

To several factions, he is also an invaluable talent!

If he can be brought under our command.

It would be a considerable advantage in future struggles for supremacy!

"Hmm, entrust this matter to you."

"Also, casually look for the First and the Second."

"I don't care what methods you use—ensure they join Great Qin!"

"If they refuse, under no circumstances let them join any other faction!"

"Handle the details as you see fit when the time comes."

Hearing Ying Zheng gave a slight nod.

After a two-breath pause, he issued his order slowly.

Yet when he spoke the final sentence,

a flash of cold light instinctively passed through his eyes.

The deeper meaning behind it was self-evident.

"Yes!"

"Your servant will not fail Your Majesty's great trust!!"

Zhao Gao perked up and replied loudly.

Great Yuan, Imperial Court.

"The Third Pig Emperor?"

"So, there are at least two others whose cultivation is no weaker than his?"

"Now it seems Yunzhou will have quite a show."

Gazing at the contents of the Void Heaven's Golden List.

Tie Muzhen frowned and muttered softly.

A faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Saying this, he no longer hesitated and barked sternly.

"Where are my left and right?"

"Your servants are here, Khan, give your command!"

Instantly, three figures appeared within the hall.
