Chapter 668

Zhang Liang and Xunzi could no longer remain calm.

This was truly a case of sitting at home while disaster fell from the sky.

Although many sects in the Great Qin Jianghu were resisting Great Qin either openly or secretly.

The Confucian school had not yet taken any substantial action.

Because the Confucian school always advocated that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall," openly opposing Great Qin was clearly not the act of a wise man.

However, with Jing Jing Tianming appearing on this list, the Confucian school had been completely dragged into the water.

Zhang Liang and Xunzi could not understand how the Confucian school, which had been doing just fine, had its fortune end up on Jing Jing Tianming.

This guy wasn't even a disciple of their Confucian school.

"Uncle Master Xun, it seems it will be very difficult for us to leave Great Ming safely now."

Zhang Liang said with a bitter smile.

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea, and without waiting for the discussion to end, he continued:

"Next, let us comment on the next talent on the list."

"Ninth place on the Heaven’s Pride Emperor List: Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling."

"Both of these two hail from the Great Sui Jianghu, and they are also two of the protagonists of destiny for the Great Sui Jianghu for the next few decades."

"But as for their origins, I presume no one in the hall knows."

"Because until now, they have both been mere street urchins; let alone becoming famous in the Jianghu, even making a living has been a problem."

"But as talents at the level of protagonists of destiny, these two have their own extraordinary qualities."

"Although they were born in poverty and were orphans from a young age, they have always harbored great ambitions and firmly believed they could make something of themselves."

"Other street urchins were always scheming and struggling for a living, but they would always go to the dojo of 'Mountain-Pushing Hand' Shi Long to steal martial arts techniques in their spare time."

"As the saying goes, heaven does not fail those who persevere; it was precisely because of their day-after-day of secret observation that they finally found an opportunity."

"It turns out that 'Mountain-Pushing Hand' Shi Long had once, by chance, obtained a divine martial arts manual, which was the 'Longevity Formula,' ranked second among the Four Great Strange Books."

"But because the 'Longevity Formula' was too profound and obscure, Shi Long could never comprehend it, and instead accidentally leaked the news, attracting the covetous gaze of Yuwen Yuwen Huaji, an expert of the Yuwen Clan."

"Just a short while ago, Yuwen Yuwen Huaji broke into Shi Long’s dojo, wanting to seize the 'Longevity Formula' manual in Shi Long’s hands."

"Shi Long resisted to the death, and even in death, he did not hand over the 'Longevity Formula' to Yuwen Yuwen Huaji, instead benefiting the two street urchins, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling."

"This was firstly because their fortune was astonishing, and they were destined to obtain this divine manual, and secondly, it was a reward for their persistence."

"In short, this 'Longevity Formula,' created by the immortal master Guang Guang Chengzi, is now mastered by Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling."

"When Su previously commented on the Four Great Strange Books, I mentioned that this 'Longevity Formula' was created by Guang Guang Chengzi by taking the essence of the 'God of War Record' and adding his own insights; its power is not much inferior to the 'God of War Record'."

"But because Guang Guang Chengzi was an immortal master who descended to the mortal world, his understanding of martial arts far exceeded that of ordinary people, so the threshold for practicing the 'Longevity Formula' is extremely high."

"This 'Longevity Formula' is divided into seven illustrations, corresponding to different internal cultivation methods of different attributes."

"One must possess the corresponding immortal spiritual root to practice the mental techniques in the corresponding scroll; otherwise, no matter how high one’s talent is, it is difficult to even get started."

"Because of this, although the 'Longevity Formula' has circulated in the world for millions of years, rarely has anyone truly succeeded in practicing it."

"However, there is a will of heaven in the dark; Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling are precisely those with special immortal cultivation physiques who possess immortal spiritual roots."

"One of them possesses a Yang spiritual root, and the other possesses a Yin spiritual root; they are perfectly suited to practice the mental techniques of the last two scrolls of the 'Longevity Formula'."

"Although they cannot practice all seven illustrations of the 'Longevity Formula' to perfection, these two illustrations alone are enough for them to dominate the Jianghu."

"As long as they do not die prematurely, they will surely be able to break through to the Martial Emperor realm of shattering the void in the future."

"And because the two practice techniques of the same origin, when they join forces, they can exert strength far beyond the norm; in the future, these two will surely have a place among the world’s top experts."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, they are temporarily ranked as tied for ninth place on the Heaven’s Pride Emperor List."

As Su Chen’s voice faded, the great hall completely exploded.

Kou Zhong!

Xu Xu Ziling!

Great Sui actually had two Emperor List talents on the list at once!

These were talents with the potential of a Martial Emperor; it meant that the Great Sui Jianghu would have at least two Martial Emperors in the future; who could not be surprised by this?

Those Jianghu wanderers from Great Sui felt a sense of pride and relief.

When the Heaven’s Pride Imperial List was announced earlier, the Great Sui Jianghu had come up empty-handed.

Later, when the Heaven’s Pride Saint List was announced, only Wan Wan and Shi Shi Feixuan were on the list.

This made many Jianghu wanderers from Great Sui feel depressed and frustrated.

The Great Sui immortal cultivation world had been widely circulated and talked about before; how could the next generation of talents be so incompetent?

One must know that in the future struggle of the golden age, the quantity and quality of talents would directly determine whether a dynasty’s Jianghu would be strong enough.

If the Great Sui Jianghu never had talents coming forward, then in the future, they would only be on the receiving end of beatings.

Now, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Two Emperor List talents on the list at once; this was the rhythm of taking off!

No matter how many Imperial List or Saint List talents other dynasties had, they couldn't compare to this one extra Emperor List talent in the Great Sui Jianghu!

However, in addition to the ecstasy, more Jianghu wanderers were also confused.

Because this Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were truly unknown, and they didn't have the astonishing background like Jing Jing Tianming.

These two were just simple street urchins, the lowest of the low who struggled even to make a living.

But after hearing Su Chen’s subsequent commentary, everyone suddenly realized.

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were worthy of being talents on the Emperor List; not only were they immortal cultivation physiques with immortal spiritual roots, but they had also luckily obtained the "Longevity Formula."

That was one of the famous Four Great Strange Books, an immortal cultivation technique created by the immortal Guang Guang Chengzi of the mythological era.

And because the threshold for practicing this "Longevity Formula" was too high, even if you gave it to someone else, they wouldn't be able to learn it; it could be said that it was a divine manual tailor-made for them.

One can imagine that as long as these two practice steadily like this, they will be able to grow into two Martial Emperor experts in the future.

For a time, everyone in the great hall began to discuss it:

"My god! Did I hear that right? Great Sui actually produced two Emperor List talents at once?"

"Haha, I knew that our Great Sui Jianghu is full of outstanding people; how could there be no powerful talents?"

"Terrifying! I previously thought that the Great Sui Jianghu only had one protagonist of destiny, Li Li Shimin, but I didn't expect two more to suddenly pop up."

"These are two talents with the potential of a Martial Emperor, even more monstrous than the two successors of the righteous and demonic paths, Fairy Shi and Wan Wan."

"No wonder Great Sui talents hadn't appeared much before; I’m afraid all the fortune was sucked up by this Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling."

"Compared to other talents who each have martial arts inheritances, this Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling can be considered truly from the bottom; breaking through from street urchins to Martial Emperors, isn't this too inspiring?"

"This Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling have no sect or faction; doesn't that mean all forces can go and recruit them?"

"These are two future Martial Emperors; no matter which side, righteous or demonic, they join, it will completely change the future Jianghu landscape."

"I can already imagine the bloody storms in the Great Sui Jianghu later; both the righteous and demonic paths should be doing their best to win these two over."

"Interesting, the struggle between the righteous and demonic paths in the Great Sui Jianghu has lasted for hundreds of years and has always been evenly matched; I wonder which side Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling will join?"

"I don't know about other forces, but the Cihang Cihang Jingzhai and the Yin Gui Sect will definitely fight tooth and nail to snatch these two."

"The protagonists of destiny for Great Qin and Great Sui have already appeared; I wonder which dynasty’s Jianghu the next talent on the list will belong to?"
