Chapter 55 broke through again.
In the public's perception, grandmasters are extremely rare, one in ten thousand!
Those who have transformed into gods are immortals who have transcended tribulations and ascended to heaven. They are adorned with thunder and lightning, and are ranked at the pinnacle of mythology. They should be invincible beings in the world!
How could someone as remarkable as him risk his life while traveling?
Throughout the land, countless people instinctively wanted to refute this.
If even a Nascent Soul Immortal cannot protect himself, then what about those martial artists at the Acquired, Innate, or even Grandmaster levels? Wouldn't they be easily killed by some unknown powerful figure the moment they step out of their homes?
but……
The earth-shattering Azure Wolf King from before, the mysterious and unpredictable shadow of the wolf demon...
But it left everyone speechless.
Only wide-open eyes and an unconcealable shock deep within them!
indeed.
The realm of Nascent Soul is not absolutely safe.
Long Yang, who had just stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, almost lost to a person of unknown origin.
Although such powerful individuals are impossible to find everywhere, the fact that Long Yang has encountered one shows that such beings are not isolated cases!
Moreover, there's Bai Luo, who far surpasses this mysterious figure and is even above the immortals...
Everything proves that Emperor Jiang's words, though seemingly absurd, are not necessarily false!
"In what era was the Immortal of Longyang born?"
"Even the realm of Nascent Soul is fraught with peril..."
"It's hard to imagine what a terrifying era he lived in..."
"In the four thousand eight hundred years since the founding of the Nine Provinces, has there ever been such a prosperous era?"
"No! Senior Xiao Sanxiao lived for four thousand two hundred years, yet he never mentioned cultivators in his life..."
"If there were any methods for cultivating immortality, how could Xiao Sanxiao have been trapped at the limits of the celestial realm for two thousand years?"
"Hiss... Could it be that the era of the Immortal Longyang was four thousand five hundred years ago?"
"No! His birth might be even older than the Kyushu Era of 4,800 years!"
"How is that possible...? History from 4,800 years ago has long been erased from existence..."
"A break in history does not mean that era did not exist!"
"In the 4,800 years of recorded history, has there ever been any dynasty as as as as the one in which Longyang lived?"
"Cultivators travel in droves? Yet, throughout this long history, immortals have always remained unattainable, ethereal as smoke. Countless people seek the Dao and visit immortals, but even after a lifetime, they may never see their true form!"
"So... what Emperor Jiang said was true! Cultivators did indeed exist widely in the world 4,800 years ago..."
"Even as common as martial artists today?"
"What a glorious era that will be!"
"Since there was a time when cultivation of immortality flourished 4,800 years ago, why did such a terrifying era ultimately vanish completely without a trace?"
"Indeed, cultivators—those beings capable of overturning rivers and seas and destroying the heavens and earth—how could their lineage be reduced to only three barely clinging to life?"
Shock!
Even though Emperor Jiang's few words were only partially believed by the people of the world, they were enough to terrify them and leave them unable to recover for a long time.
In this era where a Grandmaster could ascend to the 29th position on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, and there were no more than three Celestial Beings in the world...
They simply could not imagine how magnificent that era must have been, when immortals were everywhere and riding the clouds was as commonplace as eating a meal!
The Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed like lightning, a fierce flame called "ambition" burning wildly in his heart, rapidly spreading like wildfire.
In ancient times, the Nine Provinces were a land teeming with cultivators, and it was during that era that Emperor Jiang established a magnificent and unparalleled dynasty.
As the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty who swept away the six states and unified the world, how could he be content to stop there?
Why can't the Qin Dynasty be interpreted as a celestial dynasty like the Jiang Kingdom?
If one can obtain the method of cultivating immortality, one should select a trusted confidant to pass it on, and then spread it throughout the world...
He, Ying Zheng, can not only enjoy eternal life, but also become the supreme immortal emperor who rules over the three realms!
This thought stirred Ying Zheng's emotions, making it difficult for him to control himself. He immediately turned around and sternly ordered Zhao Gao, who had just returned to the palace:
"Zhao Gao! Zhang Gan!"
"Immediately mobilize the Black Ice Guard, the Hidden Guard, and the Net—dispatch all those available to the Great Qin Dynasty! Sweep across every inch of the Nine Provinces, searching for cultivation techniques! Leave no stone unturned!"
"If you encounter the Immortal Longyang or the Immortal Bailuo, you must use every means to win their favor! Report this to me immediately, and all their requests and wishes will be granted!"
"As for the other powerful figures on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, they should also be treated with courtesy! Those who wish to submit to our Great Qin should be granted generous rewards and treated with great respect!"
"Yes, sir!"
Facing the intense, fiery light in Ying Zheng's eyes,
Zhao Gao and Zhang Gan felt a chill run down their spines, broke out in a cold sweat, quickly bowed in agreement, and hastily withdrew.
"Moon Goddess! Issue an order to all elite disciples of the Yin-Yang School! All sorcerers and elders, act immediately and provide your full assistance to His Majesty!"
Donghuang Taiyi did not stand idly by either. His thirst for the path of cultivation was no less than that of Qin Shi Huang, and he immediately gave an order to the Moon Goddess beside him…
"try to find!"
"We must find it!"
"Since cultivators were commonplace in the ancient Nine Provinces, and immortals were not uncommon..."
"That means that this land of Kyushu may very well contain cultivation manuals left behind by our ancestors!"
"It should be known that even Senior Xiaoyaozi—who ranks fifth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking—only obtained the most rudimentary introductory method of cultivation!"
"If I could personally obtain a true cultivation technique, my life would be complete!"
"Once one embarks on the path of immortality, the so-called Innate Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster can probably be broken through in the blink of an eye!"
"This is the true opportunity to defy fate!"
At the same time.
All over Kyushu.
When everyone recovered from their shock, they immediately realized the earth-shattering secret it contained, and the crowd was in an uproar. Countless people rushed around, frantically searching for the traces and attack methods of the cultivators!
All the major forces have mobilized their entire forces. The resources previously used to win over the top experts on the Heavenly Ranking have now been completely redirected, all in order to find cultivation manuals and to get closer to Long Yang and Bai Luo!
Compared to the methods of cultivating immortality, compared to Longyang and Bailu,
What are the innate masters, grandmasters, and great grandmasters on that list anyway?
Only those at the Celestial Realm can barely maintain a transcendent demeanor before the path to immortality is revealed.
Once the order was given, the rulers of various factions, including Ying Zheng, Donghuang Taiyi, Xu Fu, Liu Bang, Li Shimin, and Yuan Tiangang, looked up again, their eyes fixed on the image on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking.
They were eager to glean more clues about cultivators and uncover the secrets of Longyang's era.
……
After giving Longyang and Longkui a brief reprimand, Emperor Jiang ordered them to leave.
In the years that followed, the two, having gone through life-and-death ordeals, never dared to easily step out of the imperial city again.
Longyang, deeply saddened by the painful experience, realized the importance of strength and was unwilling to suffer the pain of being powerless to reverse the situation again.
In subsequent scenes, besides accompanying Longkui on her tour of the palace, he is engrossed in his arduous cultivation.
Ok……
If even one hour of practice each day can be called asceticism...
Time flies, seasons change, and the once naive boy has grown into a young man.
In the year he turned twenty-two, the world suddenly changed, with thunder rolling in and being shattered in the sky by strange phenomena.
Long Yang shuddered, and his aura surged once more!
Upon witnessing this scene, all living beings in the Nine Provinces knew—Long Yang had broken through once again!
This is the third time he has faced a tribulation in the past fourteen years!
Although the world is still unclear about his specific realm and knows very little about the cultivation system,
But the completely different aura that followed each tribulation spoke volumes.
Each tribulation of lightning signifies a leap in strength!
Three tribulations!
This means that Longyang has crossed three realms in fourteen years!
Beiliang Avenue, outside Yong'an Pawnshop.
At this very moment...
Everyone present—including Yaoyue and Lianxing—stared at the completely transformed Longyang figure in the sky, as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen on the spot, their breath seemingly frozen!
Earlier, when Longyang was still a child with a tender face, they were so focused on watching him that they failed to notice anything unusual.
However, now...
When Long Yang grew up, his appearance was exactly the same as Ling Tian's, without any difference!
How could they not recognize him in this state?
Lianxing trembled as she raised her hand to rub her eyes, her beautiful gaze turning with difficulty to Ling Tian. Her voice trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe her own judgment:
"Ling Tian...is it really you?"
"You... are you the Immortal of Longyang?"
This exclamation, like a thunderclap, instantly shattered the silence on Beiliang Avenue and outside Yong'an Pawnshop.
All the martial arts practitioners, still reeling from the shock, turned their heads and all turned their gazes toward the man who was standing quietly drinking.
He held a cup of sake in his hand, gazing up at the sky with a serene expression.
The face in the sky that was exactly the same as his caused the whole world to boil over!
"Heavens... the Celestial Immortal is actually a homosexual?"
"Impossible! At twenty-two years old, Long Yang's strength has already surpassed that of a Three Tribulation Immortal; that's a true pinnacle existence!"
"No wonder Ling Tian looked so strange when the rankings were announced; he was actually looking at me!"
"Heavens above! I'm actually watching the rankings alongside an immortal! Ancestors, even the smoke rising from your graves isn't enough to quell this!"
"Hahaha, those who left halfway to find Xiao Sanxiao are probably regretting it to the core now!"
"Yes... Instead of worshipping the true immortals, they go and beg from others."
"Compared to Ling Tian... no, compared to Immortal Longyang, the so-called limit of heaven and man is simply like an ant!"
"I hate it! Why didn't I realize his identity sooner!"
On the main road of Beiliang, the heroes were in an uproar, their shouts shaking the heavens. Everyone was terrified and filled with regret.
Xu Nian stared intently at Yaoyue and Lianxing, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two and Ling Tian.
If Ling Tian is indeed a male prostitute, it means that his true cultivation level is at least that of an immortal who has surpassed the third tribulation!
How could such a person not possess extraordinary opportunities?
He suddenly remembered that Ling Tian had initially offered to give him a peerless secret manual.
He scoffed at it at the time, but later Lianxing bought it for ten thousand taels of silver...
Not long ago, Yaoyue and Lianxing came to this place, confirmed Lingtian's identity, and expressed their gratitude for the "merit bestowed upon them".
At that time, Long Yang had not yet made it onto the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, so how did they know Ling Tian's true origins?
unless……
They already knew!
But if they really knew all along, why didn't they react at all back then?
The only explanation is—
It was that "tattered manual" that Lianxing bought that confirmed everything for them!
That yellowed, unassuming book was actually a genuine cultivation technique!
