Chapter 39

Ying Zheng said in a calm tone that showed no trace of anger,

"Let the Net and the Black Ice Terrace increase their efforts to collect information on the Azure Dragon Society! Remember, everything!!"

Zhang Han was stunned.

Having served by his side for many years,

he naturally understood

that His Majesty was truly angry!!

He nodded to show he understood.

It was also at this time

that dazzling golden light shone through the windows and cracks directly into the hall.

"Go, follow Zhen out to take a look!"

Knowing that this was the Heavenly Dao Gold List exposing a new ranking,

Ying Zheng walked toward the outside of the hall with dragon-like steps.

Zhang Han saw this and quickly followed.

The same scene also happened all over the Nine Provinces.

People looked up one after another, casting their eyes toward the void.

After a few breaths,

the golden light dissipated.

The Heavenly Dao Gold List trembled twice and manifested lines of small characters as usual.

[Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Ranking - Tenth Place, Nanhua Old Immortal, Cultivation: Heaven-Human Mid-Stage.]

[Identity: Great Han Loose Cultivator.]

[Nanhua Old Immortal, also known as Nanhua Zhenren, a Great Han Dynasty loose cultivator.]

[As a peerless genius with both talent and comprehension, he was poorly clothed and hungry since childhood, often hovering on the edge of life and death.]

[Because of this, he saw the darkness of the world and concluded that "people know ghosts are terrifying, ghosts know human hearts are poisonous," thus generating the idea of avoiding the world.]

[By chance, he obtained three volumes of the Heavenly Book, thus stepping onto the path of martial arts.]

[Because he was lonely and helpless since childhood, like drifting duckweed, plus a series of encounters, his temperament was several times stronger than ordinary people.]

[With the blessing of strong talent and comprehension, in just twenty years, he stepped into the Land Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.]

[Since then, he lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, far from the world, constantly comprehending the Heavenly Book, entering the Dao through martial arts, and his cultivation became increasingly refined.]

[Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Peerless Genius, Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Dao, Mythology is within reach!]

[Heavenly Dao Reward: Lifespan Pill (Increases lifespan by two hundred years), Dao Heart (I have a Dao heart, long locked by labor and dust; today the dust is gone and the light is born, illuminating ten thousand mountains and rivers; can increase the chance of comprehending the Dao, in harmony with the Dao)]

As the last character finished appearing,

the entire Nine Provinces Continent fell silent in unison.

One breath... two breaths... three breaths...

After being speechless for a long time,

the world finally recovered from the shock.

Following that was a sound of gasping that resounded through the sky!

No other reason;

it was mainly because compared to the Heavenly Dao reward of the eleventh place,

the Heavenly Dao reward of the tenth place was simply too exaggerated!

Not to mention getting one more reward than the previous people on the list,

just the Lifespan Pill that could increase lifespan by two hundred years was enough to make countless people flock to it and go crazy!!

Especially for those old monsters who were on the verge of death and nearing their end!

After all,

the Enlightenment Pill was certainly good,

but who could guarantee that consuming it would definitely lead to a breakthrough?!

If you couldn't break through, you couldn't increase your lifespan.

And this thing, the Lifespan Pill, clearly gave you two hundred years of lifespan!

Who was more attractive, it went without saying!!

Besides this!

Compared to these old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years,

the emperors of the eight major dynasties and many small nations

had a pursuit of this that was not only no weaker than theirs, but even stronger!

Because

none of their cultivation had reached the Land Immortal Realm!

Even the Peerless Realm was rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Thus,

for them who wanted to live long and see forever,

the temptation of the Lifespan Pill was evident!!

Of course,

besides the Lifespan Pill attracting countless eyes,

the attention received by the Dao Heart was no less!

Especially the poem that sounded full of high-class style,

and the final sentence "in harmony with the Dao,"

all raised the level of the Dao Heart hard!

Although the cultivation strength of most martial artists was not high,

but if you hadn't eaten pork, hadn't you seen a pig run?!

Not to mention that there was a Heavenly Dao Gold List hanging there!

Counting those powerful existences on the list,

basically all of them had more or less something to do with the Dao.

Many of them entered the Dao through martial arts, and entered martial arts through the Dao!

From this, it could be seen

just how exaggerated the reward of the Dao Heart was!!

Outside the Xianyang Palace,

Ying Zheng, who withdrew his gaze, said in a low voice with slightly rapid breathing,

"Zhang Han, Zhao Gao."

"The minister is here!" The two responded.

"Since Nanhua Old Immortal is a loose cultivator, you should know what to do next, right?"

Calming his mood,

Ying Zheng said in a tone that was neither salty nor indifferent.

"The ministers know."

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han looked at each other.

They nodded without hesitation.

As confidant ministers,

how could they not understand that His Majesty had developed a love for talent!

Thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, he was a Heaven-Human Mid-Stage expert!

Let alone placing him in the Nine Provinces Jianghu,

even according to the foundation of the eight major dynasties,

this person was also a rare talent!

Not to mention

that the other party also had the Heavenly Dao reward, the Lifespan Pill!!

Even!

With His Majesty's character,

even if he couldn't recruit the other party,

the Lifespan Pill was absolutely something he was determined to get!!

"Hmm, then go and do it as soon as possible, be sure to be ahead of other forces!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"Obey His Majesty's decree!"

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han responded in unison.

They bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.

Watching the two leave,

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, turning his gaze toward the direction of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

He shook his head, his tone somewhat regretful.

"It helped the Great Yuan a favor."

"If only the Gold List could have updated a little later."

Although he hadn't received any news yet,

he was certain

that the Enlightenment Pill incident had definitely brought no small trouble to the Great Yuan!

If it had been a little longer,

maybe it could have caused the Great Yuan to suffer no small losses!

Unfortunately,

now that the Heavenly Dao reward had come out,

those old monsters who wanted to snatch the Enlightenment Pill from Si Hanyi would definitely stop and turn their guns toward Nanhua Old Immortal!

It could be considered indirectly helping the Great Yuan a favor.

Thus,

he naturally felt somewhat regretful.

Great Yuan, inside the Imperial City.

Just when Ying Zheng was secretly regretting,

Temujin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although currently, it was only some old monsters in the Land Immortal Realm coming to the Great Yuan to make trouble,

but he couldn't stand the number of people, and their life-risking methods.

It was fine in the short term.

If it continued for a long time,

even if the Great Yuan Dynasty's national strength was strong, it would consume quite a bit!

And,

this was still under the condition that existences above the Land Immortal had not appeared!

Otherwise,

who knew what the situation would become!

But now it was good.

Having the Lifespan Pill to divert the attention of those old monsters

was a piece of good news for the Great Yuan.

At this thought,

Temujin couldn't help but say,

"Quickly send people to the Great Han; if you can recruit Nanhua Old Immortal, that's best; if not, just bring back the Lifespan Pill!"

Although Nanhua Old Immortal's strength was strong,

to be honest, he really didn't take him seriously!

After all,

he wasn't the only one eyeing the Lifespan Pill!

One could imagine

that in the coming days,

the Great Han would definitely not be peaceful!

Suddenly!

Temujin seemed to remember something and said,

"By the way, the Azure Dragon Society matter must not be slowed down!"

As he spoke,

his brows furrowed slightly.

His eyes were full of contemplation.

It was because he suddenly remembered the secret report he had just received.

He truly couldn't understand

why, after offending his Great Yuan, this Azure Dragon Society dared to offend the Great Qin.

Where did this confidence come from?

Could it be just relying on the degree of secrecy?

Great Tang, Chang'an City.

Listening to the news from his subordinates,

and looking at the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,

Wu Zetian's phoenix brows furrowed slightly.

"Imperial Preceptor Yuan, what do you think of this matter?"

"The minister also doesn't know."

Yuan Tiangang, who had recovered his appearance, shook his head with a bitter smile.

Compared to Temujin's incomprehension,

he was actually even more unable to understand what the Azure Dragon Society was doing?

First offending the Great Yuan Dynasty, then angering the Great Qin Dynasty, and now causing trouble within the Great Tang!

They had offended all three of the strongest dynasties among the eight major dynasties.

What was this for??!

"Forget it, they will show their fox tails sooner or later!"

After a moment of silence,

Wu Zetian, who couldn't figure it out, waved her hand.

Then, changing the subject, she ordered,

"The investigation of the Azure Dragon Society must not be relaxed."

"In addition, you and Imperial Preceptor Li should make a trip to the Great Han."

"If the person cannot be recruited, then bring back the Lifespan Pill!"

Hearing this,

Yuan Tiangang nodded in agreement.

Great Ming, Forbidden City.

Zhu Houzhao stared tightly at the three big characters "Lifespan Pill" on the Heavenly Dao Gold List.
