Chapter 75

Hearing Ying Zheng spoke in a calm tone, revealing not the slightest hint of anger.

"Increase the pressure on Luo Wang and Heibing Tai to gather all information on the Qinglong Society! Remember—every last bit!!"

Hearing Zhang Han froze.

He had served beside him for many years.

He naturally understood.

Your Majesty, you are truly enraged!!

He nodded, indicating he understood.

It was at this moment.

Brilliant Jin Guang streamed through the windows and cracks, directly illuminating the hall.

"Come, accompany me outside and see!"

He knew this was the Heavenly Dao Golden List revealing a new ranking.

Hearing Ying Zheng strode forward with imperial majesty toward the hall's exit.

Seeing this, Hearing Zhang Han hurried to follow.

The same scene unfolded across the Nine Provinces.

People across the land tilted their heads upward, gazing at the empty sky.

A few breaths later.

The Jin Guang faded.

The Heavenly Dao Golden List trembled twice, then displayed its usual rows of small characters.

【Nine Provinces Combat Ceiling List—Tenth Place, Nan Hua Lao Xian, Cultivation: mid-stage Heavenly Being.】

【Identity: Han Dynasty hermit.】

【Nan Hua Lao Xian, also known as Nan Hua Zhen Ren, hermit of the Han Dynasty.】

【As an unparalleled genius with extraordinary talent and insight, he grew up in rags and hunger, often teetering on the edge of death.】

【Because of this, he grew accustomed to the darkness of the world and concluded that humans fear ghosts, but ghosts understand the poison of human hearts—leading him to desire seclusion.】

【Through a chance encounter, he obtained the Three Scrolls of the Heavenly Book, thereby entering the path of martial cultivation.】

【Having been orphaned and rootless since childhood, like a drifting duckweed, and shaped by a series of hardships, his mental fortitude surpassed that of ordinary people by many times.】

【With his formidable talent and insight, within just two decades, he ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm.】

【Thereafter, he secluded himself in Shenshan, far from the mortal world, constantly meditating on the Heavenly Book, transitioning from martial arts to the Dao, his cultivation growing ever more refined.】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Unparalleled genius, martial and Dao cultivator, the Mythical Realm is attainable!】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Lifespan Pill (extends life by two hundred years), Dao Heart (I possess one Dao heart, long locked by dust and toil; now dust cleared, light emerges, illuminating ten thousand mountain flowers—increases chance of Dao comprehension and alignment with the Dao).】

As the final character appeared.

The entire Nine Provinces fell silent in unison.

One breath… two breaths… three breaths…

They remained speechless for a long while.

Only then did the people snap out of their shock.

Immediately after, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath echoed across the heavens!

There was no other reason.

Primarily because of the Heavenly Dao reward for the eleventh place.

The reward for tenth place was simply outrageous!

Leaving aside the fact that it granted one additional reward compared to previous recipients on the list.

Just the Lifespan Pill, which adds two hundred years of life, was enough to drive countless cultivators into frenzy!

Especially for those ancient monsters nearing the end of their lives!

After all.

The Dao Comprehension Pill was certainly valuable.

But who could guarantee it would guarantee breakthrough?

Without breakthrough, no lifespan increase.

But the Lifespan Pill? It plainly grants two hundred extra years!

Which is more appealing? Self-evident!!

Moreover!

Compared to these ancient monsters who had lived for countless years.

The emperors of the Eight Great Dynasties and numerous smaller states.

Pursued it no less fervently—indeed, even more so!

Because.

None of them had reached the Earthly Immortal Realm!

Even the Peerless Realm was exceedingly rare.

Thus.

For those who wished to live long and endure,

The allure of the Lifespan Pill was plain to see!!.

052-All Eyes on Han: Yuan Tiangang Puzzled! (Request flowers, request tips)

Of course.

Aside from the Lifespan Pill drawing countless gazes.

The attention the Dao Heart received was equally considerable!

Especially those poetry lines that sounded incredibly grand.

And the final line that aligned with the Dao.

All of these forcibly elevated the level of the Dao Heart!

Although the cultivation and strength of the vast majority of martial artists were not considered high.

But even if they had never eaten pork, could they really have never seen a pig run?!

Not to mention there was still a Heavenly Dao Golden List hanging right there!

Counting those powerful beings on the list.

Basically all of them had more or less some connection with the Dao.

Among them, many entered martial arts through the Dao, and entered the Dao through martial arts!

From this, one could see.

How exaggerated the reward of this Dao Heart truly was!!

Outside Xianyanggong.

Hearing Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze, his breathing slightly rapid as he said in a deep voice.

"Hearing Zhang Han, Zhao Gao."

"Your servant is here!" the two responded.

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

He calmed his emotions slightly.

Hearing Ying Zheng said in a bland tone.

"Your servant and the others understand."

Zhao Gao and Hearing Zhang Han exchanged a glance.

They nodded without hesitation.

As trusted ministers.

How could they not understand that Your Majesty had developed a heart of cherishing talent!

Thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, he was a mid-stage Heavenly Being expert!

Let alone placing him in the martial world of the Nine Provinces.

Even according to the foundation of the Eight Great Dynasties.
