Chapter 282

"Let's go find Big Dragon Shu!"

A decision was made.

Chi Meng immediately no longer hesitated.

One hand holding a sugar-coated hawthorn, she bounced and skipped out of Changancheng.

And not long after she left.

In the void.

The Heaven's Dao Golden List trembled slightly.

Under countless gazes, it burst forth with brilliant golden light.

A few breaths later.

As the golden light faded.

Lines of characters slowly appeared.

【Nine Provinces Combat Ceiling List — (Tied) 36th Place; Hou Qing, Cultivation: Late-Stage Heavenly Being.】

【Identity: One of the Four Corpse Ancestors of the Xuanming Sect, One of the Great Tang's National Protecting Offerings.】

【Hou Qing, one of the Great Tang Empire's National Protecting Offerings, at the behest of a secret imperial decree by Tang Huang, assisted the Underworld Emperor in founding the Xuanming Sect alongside the other three Corpse Ancestors.】

【After the Xuanming Sect reached its peak, he retired, bearing the title "Blood-Stained Rivers and Mountains."】

【His Wu Gong is formidable and his nature inscrutable; his "Record of Crying Blood" has caused countless enemies to flee in terror!】

【He is also a Corpse Driver, skilled in the legendary Xiangxi Corpse-Control Technique.】

【He is free-spirited and despises worldly etiquette, acts swiftly and decisively, courteous yet sincere, loves learning, and never shuns asking questions.】

【Beneath his logical exterior lies a strong obsessive-compulsive nature: anything he finds interesting, he must do no matter what; anything he finds uninteresting, no one can persuade him.】

【His worldview differs from ordinary people, yet he has another side: keen insight, cunning and scheming, somewhat warlike, not evil by nature, but occasionally enjoys deceiving others.】

【Heaven's Dao Evaluation: Genius unmatched, utterly unlike ordinary mortals; Mythical Realm imminent.】

【Heaven's Dao Reward: Complete Guide to Demon Cultivation (covers all demon cultivation techniques)】

【Nine Provinces Combat Ceiling List — (Tied) 36th Place: Zhang Daoling, Cultivation: Late-Stage Heavenly Being.】

【Identity: Founder of the Han Dynasty's Celestial Master Sect, Founder of the Great Tang Celestial Master's Mansion, current Sixth Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society.】

【Also a prodigy of extraordinary talent and heavenly-endowed potential.】

【Since obtaining the Heaven's Dao reward of the Thunder Art's Essence, his cultivation has steadily advanced.】

【Coupled with thirty years of refinement, his foundation is deep, and his power has built up to erupt.】

【In less than a few days, he shattered the barrier of mid-stage Heavenly Being and reached late-stage Heavenly Being.】

【Moreover, the pace of his cultivation advancement has not slowed — it has instead intensified further!】

【It is believed that soon, he will break through to Heavenly Being Peak, even the Supreme Mythical Realm!!】

【Heaven's Dao Evaluation: Heavenly-endowed talent, capable of enduring solitude; the Mythical Realm is not the end!】

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

163-Tie Muzhen can no longer sit still, Wu Zetian's anger! (Request auto-subscription)

As the last character on the Heaven's Dao Golden List appeared.

The people of the Nine Provinces were all startled.

It was not because they were astonished by Zhang Daoling's breakthrough speed.

On the contrary.

Ever since the Heaven's Dao Golden List first revealed its rankings.

The world had already anticipated this day.

After all.

This was the ruthless man who suppressed his nature and polished his foundation for thirty years!!

His current cultivation level.

Was entirely expected.

Even.

If he now reached the Supreme Mythical Realm.

They would not react strongly.

What truly startled them inwardly.

Was primarily about Hou Qing.

How glorious and powerful the Xuanming Sect once was.

Not just within the Great Tang Realm.

But across the entire Nine Provinces, it was undoubtedly famed far and wide!

Thus, one can see.

How terrifying and astonishing it truly was!!

But now.

With the exposure of the Heaven's Dao Golden List, they suddenly realized.

That all of this.

Had been orchestrated behind the scenes by Tang Huang!

This calculation, these tactics.

Hmm hmm hmm...

Absolutely incredible!!!

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

"The Four Corpse Ancestors?"

"It seems the world has rather underestimated Tang Huang."

He raised his head and took in the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

A faint smile flashed at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth as he murmured to himself.

The matter of the Xuanming Sect could be traced back seventy or eighty years.

In other words.

As early as seventy or eighty years ago, Tang Huang had already laid the groundwork.

Had it not been for the sudden exposure by the Heavenly Dao Golden List this time.

Who knows how long it would have stayed hidden.

When the time comes.

Once the final contest for supremacy arrives.

A single Heavenly Being Realm expert already has the potential to affect the course of the battle.

Let alone four appearing all at once!

Moreover.

The other three are not necessarily at the Heavenly Being Realm!

They might very well be at the supreme Mythical Realm!

Just this one point alone.

Was enough to compel him to take it somewhat seriously.

Of course.

It was only taken a little seriously.

After all.

As a peerless overlord of great talent and bold vision, whose spirit devours ten thousand li like a tiger.

He too had his own schemes and confidence!

Even if the appearance of the Four Corpse Ancestors.

Caused Great Tang's national strength, which had originally seemed somewhat inferior, to narrow the gap considerably.
