All three factions wanted to use the Qinglong Society as a tool, but none dared to start a war with it on their own, lest they anger the emperor behind it.
After all, putting aside Ximen Yu, the presence of Li Taibai and Di Shitian alone was enough to intimidate everyone.
Li Taibai annihilated Jue Wushen with a single move, while Di Shitian was even more unfathomable.
No one knows whether there are other masters of the Azure Dragon Society hiding in the shadows.
Of the three great dynasties, apart from Padmasambhava and Shang Yang, everyone else knew that they had no chance of instantly killing Jue Wushen.
"Since none of you have any objections, the Temple of War Gods shall belong to my Azure Dragon Society."
Li Bai was in the limelight today and was being fawned over by everyone; even his steps seemed much lighter now.
Ignoring the grim expressions of the three great dynasties, he stepped into the Temple of War God together with Emperor Shitian.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?"
The monk Longxiang was unwilling to accept this.
"The Khan is determined to conquer the Temple of War, so the four of us have come together..."
The monk who was in a blissful mood also fanned the flames.
Suddenly, a barely perceptible ripple swept across the front of the Temple of War.
It was difficult for others to notice, but it could not be hidden from Padmasambhava.
He raised his hand in a gesture and said in a cold voice:
"Didn't you receive the news?"
"Previously, Dugu Qiubai, one of the three leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, and Dugu Jian, the Sword Saint of Yunzhou, visited the World Society together."
"The two were only at the Supreme Mythical Realm, yet they forced Xiong Ba and a mysterious expert to flee in defeat."
"The World Alliance's prestige has plummeted as a result, making it difficult for them to maintain their position as the hegemon of Yunzhou. Are you unaware of this?"
"What does this mean?"
The brain-demon monk, still recovering from his injuries, asked in bewilderment.
"The two are of average skill level, yet they were able to defeat Xiong Ba. They must have something else to rely on."
"The Khan once mentioned that Dugu Qiubai used a forbidden method that almost caused Xiong Ba's death in the World Society."
Padmasambhava rebuked him angrily.
"Is there such a thing?"
The three monks, Longxiang and Shen, were utterly shocked.
Although the Supreme Myth Realm is not my domain, how could a veteran powerhouse like Xiong Ba almost lose his life? What methods did Dugu Qiubai use?
"Since the Three Dragon Heads have this trump card, do you think the Five Dragon Heads wouldn't?"
"Moreover, if I am not mistaken, just now another dragon head accompanied Li Taibai into the Temple of the God of War."
"Both dragon heads have arrived..."
The three monks, Longxiang and Yi, immediately fell silent, not uttering a sound.
Meanwhile, the people of Qin and Tang, seeing that the time limit for the Temple of War was approaching and the temple doors were gradually closing, all sighed sadly and led their people back.
The moment Li Taibai and his two companions stepped into the Temple of the God of War, the golden list in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
The dazzling golden light vanished in an instant, yet it caused all living beings across the land to look up in awe.
In an instant, the golden light faded, and the notice slowly unfolded:
[The Ninth Strongest in the Nine Provinces Ranking - Tied for Thirtieth Place: Xie Tiao, Half-Step Mythical Realm]
[The First Evil Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty's Demonic Sect, and the Founder of the Evil Extreme Sect]
Xie Tiao was a direct descendant of Xie Xuan from the Chenjun Xie clan, and was well-versed in the essentials of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism from a young age.
[Taking up with martial arts at the age of thirty]
[I stumbled upon a silk scroll in an ancient tomb. This scroll was compiled by the "Heavenly Demon" Cang Qu, gathering all the wonders of the world. It is the source of all the magic of the demonic sect.]
Xie Tiao possessed exceptional comprehension; he made rapid progress in martial arts even after only a short time.
Within thirty days, he went directly from the mortal realm to the innate realm.
Later, she encountered Di Ni at the White Horse Temple, and together they explored the mysteries of the demonic scripture.
Unexpectedly, the nun secretly memorized the mental techniques and used them to deceive people with heretical methods, thereby creating the "Compassionate Voyage Sword Manual" and the "Supreme Wisdom Sutra".
Xie Tiao did not fall into his trap; he exhausted all his efforts and finally completed "The Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao".
[Heaven's judgment: Born into nobility, with a magnanimous spirit, yet unfortunately confined by the constraints imposed by his predecessors.]
[The Immortal Manual and Secret Scripture "The Demon Heart Seed Dao Technique" can be combined with demonic arts to glimpse the supreme realm.]
[The Ninth Strongest in the Nine Provinces Ranking - Jointly Holding the Thirtieth Seat: Chuan Ying, Early Mythical Stage]
[Formerly the Grand Master of the Great Sui Dynasty, now under the command of the Azure Dragon Society]
[The eagle was said to have displayed extraordinary talent even as a young bird.]
[He often enters secluded valleys alone, returning only after ten days.]
Before reaching adulthood, he had already read extensively from various classical texts.
[It is said that Ying received guidance from his uncle, Li Ling, and learned the principles of Yi Jing (Book of Changes), classical astronomy, and esoteric arts of immortals.]
He not only mastered the true teachings, but also innovated and created his own unique style.
At the age of fifteen, observing swallows dancing in the sky, he grasped the soaring posture of birds like eagles and falcons, and incorporated it into his swordsmanship.
[His swordsmanship reached its pinnacle, allowing him to step into the Innate Realm in one fell swoop.]
Later, he turned to swordsmanship to hone his skills, traversing the northern wilderness alone to slay bandits.
[Finally, the swordsmanship reached perfection, directly reaching the realm of celestial beings.]
[Due to the great favor bestowed upon him by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he entered the imperial court as the head of the national protectors and servants.]
However, internal strife broke out in the Sui Dynasty, and by the time Chuan Ying left the pass, the country had already fallen apart.
To uncover the mastermind behind the chaos, they journey together to the Azure Dragon Peak.
[I met Ximen Yu]
Han Gongdu, Tian Guoke, and Zhi Lixing offended Ximen Yu, and were subsequently killed by him.
[The eagle, terrified, immediately submitted before he could even see Ximen Yu's move.]
[He subsequently made numerous contributions to the Azure Dragon Society, earning the appreciation of its leader, Ximen Yu.]
[Bestowed with the Breakthrough Pill, he broke through his bottleneck, advanced to the early stage of the Mythical Realm, and was thus able to be listed on the rankings.]
[Heavenly Dao's Commentary: Success and failure both stemmed from Ximen; had he served loyally, breaking through the void might have been within his reach.]
[Heavenly Rewards: Heavenly-grade Divine Weapon - Pseudo-Dragon Soul Blade, Heavenly-grade Divine Weapon - Pseudo-Phoenix Blood Sword]
[If one obtains the soul of a dragon and the blood of a phoenix, a divine weapon can be transformed into a celestial-level weapon.]
[Nine Provinces Battle Power Ranking - (tied) 30th: Jue Wushen, Cultivation: Early Mythical Stage]
[Identity: Master of the Godless Palace in Dongying]
[The God of No God has been killed by Li Taibai, one of the Five Dragon Leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, and removed from the list.]
Deathly silence!
The last character on the Heavenly Path Golden List vanished.
The land of Kyushu froze.
The world was dumbfounded, stunned into silence.
A mixture of shock and envy lingered, leaving a lasting impression.
The last time a celestial-level martial art appeared was when Murong Longcheng was bestowed the "Buddha's Palm".
This reappearance of a celestial-level martial art is completely opposite to the Great Sui Demonic Sect's ultimate technique, "The Demon Seed of the Dao Heart"—
Demon Heart Seed Dao Technique!
Names and forms are contradictory, and so is the Way.
But that's not the key point!
Even Murong Longcheng, who possessed the celestial-level martial art "Buddha's Palm," was slain by Li Taibai with a single sword strike.
Along with two other powerful individuals of the same realm, they all perished on the spot.
Xie Tiao's gains went far beyond the Immortal-level "Demon Heart Seed Dao Technique"; what was even more remarkable was the line of text at the end of the Heavenly Dao Golden List—
If you study "The Demon Seed of the Dao Heart" together with it, you may be able to comprehend the supreme divine skill!
What could be so astonishing that would earn such high praise from the Heavenly Dao Golden List?
Could it be that he has already reached the level of a god?
At the same time, Chuan Ying, the former chief protector of the Sui Dynasty and now a member of the Azure Dragon Society, also attracted much envy.
For the first time, the Heavenly Path Golden List bestowed divine weapons, and two of them at once!
The Heavenly-level Divine Weapon was originally a national treasure held by the three great dynasties, but now it has fallen directly into Chuan Ying's hands.
More importantly, these two divine weapons can actually be upgraded—by being tempered with dragon souls and phoenix blood, they can be promoted to the immortal rank!
What is the concept of a Celestial-Rank Divine Weapon?
Not to mention ordinary martial artists, even the powerful nobles of the three great dynasties rarely heard of it.
The only records are scattered in ancient books, and apart from emperors, very few people know about it.
Chuan Ying achieved two goals at once, how could it not make people envious?
However, while everyone saw the preciousness of the divine weapon, they failed to notice the earth-shattering secrets behind it.
Ximen Yu's name reappeared on the Heavenly Path Golden List, still appearing in a mysterious manner.
Even a powerful figure like Chuan Ying couldn't see how he made his move before the three Great Sui Protectors were already dead.
If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly List never speaks recklessly, people would almost think they were dazzled.
Just how strong is Ximen Yu?
This question has become a perplexing one in the minds of martial artists worldwide.
The sudden appearance and abrupt end of the story of the Godless God adds to the shock.
This powerful figure, who ranked 30th on the Heavenly Power Ranking of the Nine Provinces, was actually killed by Li Taibai, the fifth leader of the Azure Dragon Society, who crossed the border!
Li Bai was only at the Celestial Realm, so how could he kill a stronger being?
Thus, Jue Wushen set a record for the fastest removal from the list—in the past, Murong Longcheng was still alive for a few days, while he fell before he could show his talent.
The Azure Dragon Society, Ximen Yu, and the Seven Dragon Leaders have become synonymous with taboo.
Chapter 121 Demon
Inside the Xianyang Palace, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was unusually moved: "Higher than the Immortal Rank... The Heavenly Dao Golden List is actually called the Supreme Divine Skill? Is what Xie Tiao obtained truly so profound?"
236 - Has the Azure Dragon Society's fame spread throughout the land?
The Qin Dynasty had a profound foundation and was filled with powerful figures.
However, as far as Ying Zheng knew, there was no one in the court who surpassed the level of immortals.
"Li Si, Zhao Gao, I'm sure you both know my intentions perfectly well?"
"Your Majesty, I understand. Immediately dispatch the Black Ice Guard and elite experts to the Great Sui Dynasty to capture Xie Tiao and seize the 'Demon Heart Seed of the Dao' and the 'Demon Heart Seed of the Dao Technique'!"
This time, the Prime Minister of Qin was the first to express his opinion.
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to personally lead the elite of the Luowang Army to accompany the Prime Minister."
Zhao Gao was unwilling to fall behind. His recent incompetence had gradually eroded Ying Zheng's trust, and he had to reverse this decline.
"I heard that Xie Tiao is traveling with 'Heavenly Demon' Cang Qu."
"Xie Tiao is ranked thirtieth and possesses the Demonic Sect's number one divine skill, 'The Demon Seed of the Dao Heart.' What do you think of the Heavenly Demon's strength?"
