Chapter 43

Dumbfounded!

Ten faces of bewilderment!

At this moment,

Ling Donglai and the others felt their brains were not enough to process this.

They recognized every word, but when put together, they couldn't understand it at all!

Seeing this, Ximen Wudi waved his hand.

"You don't need to worry about this matter."

"If my predictions are correct, even without the Heavenly Dao’s pull, that other province will return before long."

"What you need to do now is improve your strength!"

"Ensure that no matter what situation the Green Dragon Society faces, it remains above the Nine Provinces!"

As he spoke,

his words were filled with an unquestionable tone.

Although for him,

no matter how terrifying that other province was, he was still invincible.

But he did not want to do everything himself.

Therefore,

the improvement of his subordinates' strength was also urgent!

Hearing this,

Ling Donglai and the others, though still curious,

nodded and sensibly did not ask further.

However, they understood one thing!

And that was to improve their strength!!

From the Great Dragon Head’s words just now, it wasn't hard to guess

that once the other province returned, the Nine Provinces continent might face true chaos!

At that time,

only powerful strength would prevent them from being eliminated!

Thinking of this,

instead of being discouraged, a strong sense of rivalry surged in their eyes!

After all,

as the most talented individuals in the current Nine Provinces,

they naturally had their own pride!

Ximen Wudi nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

Just as he was about to dismiss them, he seemed to sense something.

He turned and looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, the crowd subconsciously followed his gaze.

A few breaths later,

the Heavenly Dao Gold List trembled slightly, then erupted with golden light.

Almost instantly,

the dazzling light attracted the attention of all the people in the Nine Provinces.

Lines of small text slowly appeared on the list.

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List - Ninth Place: Xunzi, Cultivation: Heaven-Human Late Stage.】

【Identity: Great Qin Confucian expert.】

【Xunzi, originally named Kuang Qing, is the highest-ranking member of the Confucian school in the Great Qin Dynasty’s Sanghai, and is another great Confucian scholar after Confucius and Mencius.】

【He joined the Confucian school at the age of five and quickly displayed astonishing talent and peerless comprehension.】

【Whether in martial arts or literature, he is a rare, world-shaking genius!】

【He once claimed to have no martial arts, refusing to deal with mountain bandits on the grounds that "Confucianism is divided into martial and literary schools, and I am of the literary school."】

【But in reality, he is the hidden number one expert of the Confucian school, the anchor of the school, usually living in seclusion in the Little Sage Virtuous Manor’s courtyard.】

【Thirty years ago, because he had been stuck at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm for many years without progress, he intended to emulate the Confucian sage Confucius and travel to various states.】

【Who would have thought that due to a chance encounter, he entered the place where the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, once had an epiphany, and by capturing a trace of Dao rhyme left behind unintentionally, he had an epiphany on the spot.】

【Since then, he has studied for many years and made rapid progress, so much so that it only took him thirty years to break through to the Heaven-Human Late Stage!】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: World-shaking genius, inheritor of Confucianism, destined to have a place in the Mythical Realm!】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Longevity Pill (adds three hundred years of life), Confucian Profound Meaning (contains the Dao of Confucius and Mencius, the higher the comprehension, the more one gains)】

As the Heavenly Dao Gold List finished displaying,

the Nine Provinces continent fell into dead silence!

At this moment,

whether it was ordinary people, martial artists of the Jianghu, or the eight great dynasties and major forces,

everyone who saw the content of the Heavenly Dao Gold List

was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded and speechless.

Their hearts were filled with intense shock!

After a long while,

the crowd finally gasped and regained their senses.

But deep in their pupils, a thick shock and horror remained!

They truly could not imagine

what kind of taboo existence could create a Heaven-Human Realm expert with a trace of Dao rhyme left behind unintentionally!

Even,

if it weren't for the miraculous nature of the Heavenly Dao Gold List which was beyond human capability,

even if they were beaten to death,

they would not believe such a fantastical thing existed!!

However, not long after the shock,

they reacted.

Could that taboo existence have left Dao rhyme in other places as well?!

Thinking of this,

the Nine Provinces continent immediately boiled over!

Even,

it sparked a wave of exploration!

Especially in those deep mountains and old forests, places rarely visited, countless people followed one after another!

The purpose was self-evident.

Inside the Green Dragon Manor.

Zhang Sanfeng and the others, who had been stunned for a while, finally regained their senses.

They turned their shocked gazes toward Ximen Wudi in unison.

Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Their hearts were stirred into monstrous waves because of the shock!

A few breaths later,

Li Taibai swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly.

"Great Dragon Head, you are so awesome, do your family members know?!"

Although they had known each other for many years,

and in his heart, he had already revered Ximen Wudi as a god,

at this moment, ===== CHAPTER 84 =====

Li Taibai was still almost scared silly!

Just by relying on a trace of left-behind Dao rhyme, it could have such great power.

This, damn it, is not just "not just," it is simply "simply"!!

Zhang Sanfeng and the others beside him nodded subconsciously in agreement.

Even,

Ling Donglai, who had just broken through to the Mythical Realm,

almost knelt down at this moment!

The joy that had surged in his heart because of the breakthrough vanished in an instant.

Ximen Wudi gave him a sideways glance, annoyed.

He threw the "Laozi Dao De Five Thousand Words" that he had handed over earlier to Zhang Sanfeng and ordered calmly.

"Cultivate well, do not tarnish the reputation of my Green Dragon Society!"

Zhang Sanfeng subconsciously reached out to take it.

When he saw the name on it, his whole body shook.

He nodded heavily.

His hands tightened involuntarily.

His old face was full of gratitude as he replied respectfully.

"Many thanks to the Great Dragon Head for the cultivation!"

Ximen Wudi waved his hand indifferently.

He hugged Li Canghai and disappeared.

…………

Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.

"This person actually has such great power!!"

"No wonder, no wonder he dared to offend the first three dynasties all at once."

Looking at the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,

and thinking of the secret report received from Great Tang not long ago,

Ying Zheng sighed twice.

His heart felt somewhat relieved.

To be able to have such great power with just a trace of Dao rhyme,

Ximen Wudi’s true strength could be glimpsed from this!

Most importantly,

he noticed a detail!

That is, thirty years ago!!

In other words,

Ximen Wudi thirty years ago could create a Heaven-Human Realm expert with a trace of left-behind Dao rhyme!

Then,

to what terrifying level has he grown now?!!

Thinking of this,

even as the Qin Emperor of the most powerful of the eight great dynasties,

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle!

He took two deep breaths to calm his mood.

Then, without looking back, he ordered in a deep voice.

"Zhang Han, quickly send people to the Little Sage Virtuous Manor!"

Shock was shock.

He hadn't forgotten

the Heavenly Dao reward that Xunzi received as a list-maker!

"As you command!"

Zhang Han replied.

He turned and hurried away.

Following his departure,

the hall fell into silence.

Ying Zheng, sitting on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Green Dragon Society... Green Dragon Society..."

At the same time,

Sanghai, Little Sage Virtuous Manor.

Noticing the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,

Fu Nian and Yan Lu, who were serving beside Xunzi,

stood there blankly as if they had become fools.

Clearly,

the content above was too shocking to their souls!

Before this,

even if Ximen Wudi was revered as a taboo existence and praised to the heavens,

they didn't think their uncle would be much worse than him.

But now, the Heavenly Dao Gold List had slapped them hard in the face,

making them recognize reality!

Under such an impact,

even though they had excellent cultivation of their temperament, they were now somewhat disheartened.

Even their Dao hearts were shaken strongly!

"Regain your focus!"

Sensing the abnormality of the two,

Xunzi frowned slightly and shouted in a low voice.

Strangely enough,

it was clearly a shout, but when it reached the ears of Fu Nian and Yan Lu, it became like a booming bell, deafening!

Instantly making the two tremble.

"Uncle..."

They looked at each other,

a trace of shame appearing on their faces.

"The sages have long said: There is a heaven beyond heaven, people beyond people, and one mountain is always higher than another; there are always stronger hands among the strong."

"If you can't even handle this kind of impact, how can you carry forward our Confucian school?!"

Xunzi said with a straight face, preaching earnestly.

"We are ashamed!"

Fu Nian and Yan Lu both lowered their heads.

…………

Great Sui, Imperial Palace.

"Damn it! To be this terrifying!"

"No wonder there has been no news regarding my offer of cooperation until now!!"

Yang Guang cursed in a low voice.

His face was gloomy enough to drip water.

For a moment, he even started to resent the Green Dragon Society!

He knew

that the reason the other party was unwilling to cooperate with him ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
