"Who is it?" Wu Zetian already had a vague answer in her heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the leader of the Azure Dragon Society..." Cang Qu was terrified and didn't even dare to call Ximen Yu by his name.
"It really is him..." Wu Zetian's expression was slightly complicated. "Well, since it is him, there is no need to worry about it."
"In this way, the Great Qin and the Great Yuan will not bother our Great Zhou again for a short time."
"The only one we need to be wary of is the Azure Dragon Society."
"However, there's no need to worry for now. You should use the Dragon Balls to study and comprehend them first."
Cangqu and Jiangchen withdrew. Since the Empress had permitted them to study the Dragon Ball, there was naturally no need for them to worry.
Above the heavens, the Heavenly Dao Golden List trembled, and dazzling divine light poured down, enveloping the nine provinces.
A new round of rankings is about to be revealed.
[Nine Provinces Battle Power Ranking - 24th Place: Divine General, Cultivation: Early Mythical Stage.]
[Identity: Chief Disciple of the God of Immortality, Chief of the Search for Gods Palace]
[A thousand years ago, Bu Jingyun, a prodigy of the Bu clan.]
[An unexpected encounter with the woman Bai Suzhen]
The two possessed exceptional talent and together created the "Heaven-Shifting Divine Technique" and the "World-Destroying Demon Body".
With this divine skill, Bu Jingyun gained immortality and called himself 'God'.
After that, he founded the Palace of Searching for Gods, recruiting heroes from all over the world.
The divine general is the chief disciple of the immortal god.
[Awarded the "World-Destroying Demon Body"]
[He later created his own Fire and Thunder Qi and Ice Nether Hand techniques.]
[Even without physical injury, one can injure an enemy from a distance]
Although he was a disciple of a god, he was called a divine general.
[However, he is not a cold-hearted person; on the contrary, he values loyalty and righteousness.]

[Holding the reins of the "Book of Searching for the Supernatural," recording extraordinary tales from across the land]
[After a century of arduous cultivation, one finally reaches the pinnacle of divine power.]
[Later, Emperor Shitian submitted to Ximen Yu, and the Divine Judge followed the Divine Mother and the Ice Emperor to join the Azure Dragon Society.]
By accumulating merits from completing tasks, one can exchange them for the "Aura Observation Technique" in the Divine Secret Pavilion.
After months of practice, he broke through to a legendary realm.
[Tiandao's Commentary: He understands the secrets of heaven and the hearts of men]
[Heavenly Gift: The Art of Observing Qi (from the Jin Dynasty's "The Emperor's Art of Observing Qi")]

[Identity: Sworn brother of Genghis Khan, the Great Yuan Dynasty; Chief of the Jadaran tribe]
[A member of the Thirteen Wings of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who aspired to study medicine in his early years to help the people of the grasslands.]
[Because the four great national teachers, including Padmasambhava, perished under the "lingering form of sword energy" of Ximen Yu]
The Yuan Dynasty's top combat force has been almost entirely wiped out.
Jamukha willingly accepted the "Thirteen Wings" rebirth technique to help Temujin.
[Upon awakening, he was bestowed with the "Scripture of Slaying Gods and Poisons"]
[The God-Slaying Poison Scripture: All things can be poisoned; even plants, insects, and beasts can be weapons]
Those poisoned are transformed into immortal puppets, obeying Jamukha's commands.
[Heaven's Commentary: Once used to save the world with benevolent arts, now used to defend the country with evil and poison]
[Heaven's Reward: Black Death]
The golden light gradually faded, and the Heavenly Ranking disappeared.
The entire nation was shaken by the new rankings.
Azure Dragon Peak, Azure Dragon Manor
Zhang Sanfeng, who was in seclusion, sensed Ximen Yu's reappearance and broke out of his seclusion.
Previously, Indra, Xiao Jingtian, and others who had traveled to the Western Regions had returned with six Dragon Balls.
Although the "Thunderfire Bomb" was destroyed by Ximen Yu, it attracted Shenlong to join his cause.
At this point, the Azure Dragon Society already possessed two great mythical beasts: the Fire Qilin and the Divine Dragon.
When the name "Bu Jingyun" was mentioned on the Heavenly Path Golden List, Xiaoyaozi was immediately puzzled.
"Is it the one that the Great Dragon Leader recruited from the World Society?"
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head: "This Bu Jingyun is an immortal god who created extraordinary feats together with the 'Demon Lord Bai Suzhen' he encountered in the past."
During the battle at Deyue Tower, Zhang Sanfeng faced the Demon Lord's oppressive aura directly and knew its terror.
Only after Jiang Yuyan explained the situation did I learn the origin of this story.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi felt relieved and did not pursue the matter further.
"This 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique' is truly extraordinary; it requires the Emperor and Ximen Yu to work together to perform it!"
This is mysterious and unfathomable, far surpassing ordinary divine skills.
The "Aura Observation Technique" is ranked among the divine-level techniques in the Azure Dragon Pavilion, while the "Emperor's Aura Observation Technique" surpasses it! 543
"Four dragon heads, should we seek out an emperor to return?"
"The five kingdoms of Han, Song, Sui, Ming and Qing are all under the control of the Azure Dragon Society. Finding an emperor would be as easy as turning one's hand."
Chapter 193 Proposal
Everyone was quite interested in this, and Zhang Sanfeng immediately made a suggestion.
"The Great Dragon Head has not yet returned. Without him, the 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique' is useless."
"Moreover, the Great Dragon Lord wants us to focus on improving our strength in preparation for the impending calamity."
"But I wonder just how perilous this calamity will be?"
Xiaoyaozi shook his head and rejected the suggestion.
For Ximen Yu to suffer such a great calamity, it must be no small matter.
Even Di Shitian and the brothers Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi couldn't help but feel worried.
"Excessive thinking is useless. Just obey the Great Dragon Head's orders and focus on your cultivation."
Xiaoyaozi turned to Xiaojingtian and Xiaoaoshi and said:
"Although you were missing the 'Thunderfire Bomb,' you did a good job on this mission."
"You two may immediately proceed to the God-level level to consult the complete versions of the 'Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos' and 'Myriad Paths of the Underworld'."
In the battle of Qilian Mountain, Xiao Jingtian was actually restrained by the Purple-Clad Scripture King, whose strength was far inferior, all because the "Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos" still had flaws.
Upon hearing that he could obtain the complete set, he was overjoyed and had no intention of staying any longer. He immediately left with Xiao Aoshi.
355 A Tacit Understanding Play
"Di Shitian, you also deserve much credit for this mission."
Xiaoyaozi praised him and then bestowed a reward:
"You may go to the Pill Pavilion to collect a 'Flawless Rejuvenation Pill'!"
This elixir is incredibly effective; even if one has only a breath left, it can restore one to their peak condition without any lasting harm!
In the battle of Qilian Mountain, Di Shitian was restrained by Tianmo and Zichu, etc., because he had arrogantly entered Qinglong Peak and was injured by Ximen Yu's aura.
In addition, he suffered a severe injury from a powerful opponent in his early years, resulting in the loss of his phoenix blood, and now his strength is less than 60%.
The original recovery would have taken a long time, but now that you've joined the Azure Dragon Society, you only need one "Traceless Rejuvenation Pill" to be fully healed.
Indra was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the generous gift from the four dragon heads!"
Although his actual cultivation level far surpassed that of Xiaoyaozi, his status within the Azure Dragon Society was far inferior. Having obtained the divine pill, Di Shitian hastily withdrew from the main hall.
After receiving their respective mission rewards, the Ice Emperor, the High Priest, and the Judge were dismissed by Xiaoyaozi.
"Four Dragon Heads, I wonder what the Great Calamity the First Dragon Head was referring to?" Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but ask after everyone had left.
"This matter is indeed difficult to fathom," Xiaoyaozi pondered. "There are countless secrets in the Nine Provinces, and apart from Ximen Yu, I have never seen anyone who can predict things so accurately."
"However, in my opinion, it's mostly related to the three great dynasties. The Yuan Dynasty suddenly produced the 'Thirteen Wings,' and the Qin Dynasty is implementing the Lishan Plan. These two countries were already severely weakened, yet they suddenly produced a master ranked twenty-fourth on the Heavenly Dao Golden List. Add to that the Tang Dynasty, which remained inactive..."
The sudden emergence of Jamukha and Xuan Jian caused a sensation throughout the martial arts world. Ordinary martial artists could hardly reach the realm of terrestrial immortals even after a lifetime of arduous training, but Xuan Jian, with his "Eight Linglong" supernatural ability and the support of the Lishan Project, entered the top twenty-four of the Golden List in a single day. Jamukha was even more remarkable; previously unknown, he directly ascended to the same high position.
This situation has led martial artists across the land to question: what is the point of diligent training? Wouldn't it be more practical to discover one's own innate talents or be born into a better family?
Zhang Sanfeng saw this clearly. With his level of mental cultivation, he naturally wouldn't envy these things. After all, neither the Lishan Plan nor the "Thirteen Wings" could compare to the profound foundation of the Azure Dragon Society.
"What the Four Dragon Leaders say is absolutely right. Should we then strike first and wipe out these three dynasties in one fell swoop?" Zhang Sanfeng was not boasting; with the current strength of the Azure Dragon Society and its affiliated forces, they certainly had the ability to do so.
Even without Ximen Yu, it would not be difficult to destroy any of the three great dynasties.
"No rush! We should not act rashly before the Great Dragon Head gives the order."
"The most important thing right now is to improve our own strength."
"Secondly, we need to find a way to cleverly 'send' the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions into the hands of the Great Qin..."
