Chapter 385

The Heavenly Dao Gold List, silent for several days, burst forth with dazzling radiance.

Immediately after.

Under the gaze of countless onlookers who had gradually grown accustomed to it.

The golden light gradually faded.

Rows of small characters emerged.

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Board — (Tied) 30th Place: Xie Tiao, Cultivation: Half-step into the Mythical Realm.】

【Identity: First Generation Evil Emperor of the Dasuimo Sect.】

【Xie Tiao, compiler of the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Law" and "Record of Musings on the Demonic Path".】

【As the First Generation Evil Emperor of the Dasuimo Sect, with fame rivaling the sect's founder, Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, his innate talent and comprehension are unfathomably deep!】

【Because of a chance encounter in his youth, he obtained the martial arts silk manuscript left behind by Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, and from then on stepped through the gates of the martial path.】

【Because the manuscript encompassed all things under heaven, after obtaining it, Xie Tiao devoted himself to studying and researching it, for decades on end without interruption.】

【In the end, relying on his terrifyingly unmatched innate talent and comprehension, he not only stepped into the Heavenly Being Realm in mere decades.】

【But also, on the foundation of the martial path laid down by the manuscript, discarded the dross and kept the essence, compiling eight volumes of Demonic Sect classics.】

【Out of gratitude to Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, he merged the eight volumes of Demonic Sect classics with his own compiled "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Law" and "Record of Musings on the Demonic Path", calling it the "Heavenly Demon Strategy".】

【Laying a profound foundation for the development of the Weimo Sect.】

【At the same time, he became the first Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect, leading his disciples to occupy half of the Great Sui Jianghu.】

【Decades later, because he remained stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Being Realm without grasping the key, he set down the heavy burden of the Demonic Sect and wandered the mortal world.】

【Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, that final step remained suspended in the air.】

【Until, by a chance stroke of fate, he encountered the Demonic Sect's founder, Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, and under his guidance, finally broke through his shackles and stepped into the supreme Mythical Realm.】

【After breaking through, he abandoned his original idea of tempering his heart through the mortal world, and instead followed by Cang Qu's side, comprehending the martial path.】

【Under his unreserved guidance, his cultivation speed rose rapidly.】

【However, every step after the Mythical Realm was as hard as ascending to heaven, and on top of that, his own martial path had always been influenced by Cang Qu.】

【The possibility of reaching the Shattered Realm was nearly negligible; without a great opportunity, he would likely end his life at the Mythical Realm.】

【How could a proud and arrogant man like him be willing to accept such an ending?】

【After decades of careful study and discussion with Cang Qu, he destroyed his own foundation and reshaped his martial path.】

【Although at this moment his cultivation was only at the Half-step into the Mythical Realm, his overall strength was by no means trivial.】

【Given time, he might ascend another level, and have hope of touching the Shattered Realm!!】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Supreme talent, hope of reaching the Shattered Realm!】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Wuhen Rejuvenation Pill (as long as one breath remains, can restore to peak condition without leaving the slightest hidden danger), Bone Structure Remolding Pill (remolds bone structure, allowing one to ascend another level).】

226 — Peerless in Blade and Sword, Zhao Gao Scared Out of His Wits! (Subscribe please)

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Board — (Tied) 30th Place: Lord Chuan Ying, Cultivation: Half-step into the Mythical Realm.】

【Identity: Former Protector of the Nation of the Great Sui Imperial Court, current member of the Qinglong Society.】

【As a powerhouse at the extreme peak of the blade path, although he had not made a move before the world for many years, he had always been the target that blade-path martial artists pursued and sought to surpass!】

【He was endowed with extraordinary spirit from a young age, disliked gathering with other children, and would often venture alone into Shenshan, returning only after several days.】

【At fifteen he practiced his sword with swallows, at sixteen he had read through the Four Books and Five Classics, and at seventeen he could already slash down a swallow darting past like lightning from any angle.】

【From the age of twenty, he set aside the sword and took up the blade; by twenty-seven his blade technique had reached great completion — a rare prodigy peerless in both blade and sword!】

【During this period, his uncle "Sky-Resisting Hand" Li Ling taught him the principles of the Book of Changes, geography and astronomy, and secret martial arts methods.】

【At only twenty-one years of age, he was already able to forge his own path and establish his own style, shocking his uncle Li Ling greatly, who sighed that he could not compare.】

【He was free-spirited and unrestrained by nature, his strategies incomparably ingenious; after achieving great completion in the blade path, he also penetrated the ultimate of swordsmanship amid a thunderstorm, and was the universally acknowledged unrivaled expert under heaven!】

【He slew countless enemies in his life, became famous in his youth, and beneath his heavy-backed blade lay countless departed souls — a true and unadulterated world-shaking genius!】

【In the following dozen-plus years, in the dull and tasteless tedium of finding no worthy opponent, he chose to seal his blade and retire from the world, becoming one of the Protector of the Nation of the Great Sui Imperial Court.】

【After Sui Emperor Yang Guang perished and the Great Sui Imperial Court collapsed, he submitted to the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, becoming a member of the Qinglong Society.】

【Recently, he was bestowed a Breaking-Origin Pill by Ximen Wudi; in only a very short time, he will be able to break through his shackles and step into the supreme Mythical Realm!】

【There is even a certain probability that he will break through two realms consecutively, reaching the middle stage of the Mythical Realm directly!】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Peerless in blade and sword, a promising future!】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Enlightenment Pill (can aid the consumer in enlightenment; the higher one's innate talent and comprehension, the better the effect), Mythical Dao Rhyme Pearl (contains the dao rhyme of the Mythical Realm, can aid the possessor in accelerating their grasp of the Dao of the Mythical, greatly shortening cultivation time)】

???

As the final character on the Heavenly Dao Gold List finished appearing.

The Nine Provinces continent instantly fell so silent that a pin drop could be heard!

All martial artists.

Simultaneously opened their mouths wide, looking utterly dumbstruck.

On their weathered faces, there was nothing but undisguised shock and horror!

But these were not the main point.

The most important thing was.

Deep within their pupils.

Filled with endless disbelief.

Clearly startled by this news.

A good while passed.

Only then did they collectively come back to their senses.

The sound of sharply inhaling cold air rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Nine Provinces continent.

You have to know.

Whether it was the Evil Emperor Xie Tiao, or Chuan Ying.

In the martial world of those years, both left behind a vivid mark!

To put it a bit more dramatically.

Across the Nine Provinces' martial world, they both held illustrious reputations!

Even as time went on.

And with each generation producing new talents.

Many people gradually forgot about them.

But the moment the Heavenly Dao Golden List revealed their names.

The deeds of the two inevitably resurfaced in countless minds.

In an instant.

The Nine Provinces trembled, and the world burst into an uproar!

Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.

"Evil Emperor Xie Tiao, Heavenly Demon Cang Xu, Great Hero Chuan Ying, Po Yuan Dan?"

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"The Nine Provinces are growing livelier by the day."

Gazing quietly at the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Hearing Ying Zheng let out a light chuckle.

On his dignified, commanding face.

A look of keen interest emerged.

In his tiger-like eyes flickered traces of deep meaning.

"Your Majesty, should we send people to Great Sui to make contact with Cang Xu and Xie Tiao?"

Beside him.

Zhao Gao seemed to think of something and asked in a low voice.

"No need."

Hearing Ying Zheng restrained his smile and waved his hand.

Although Xie Tiao and Cang Xu, who had yet to be ranked, were both extraordinarily powerful.

He also understood.
