Chapter 1 Xia Qing Sect

With the arrival of two figures, it instantly caused a stir.

In the void, a cyan phantom first appeared.

The man was handsome and distinguished, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, surrounded by wisps of Supreme Immortal Qi. He wore a purple jade crown, and strange sounds emanated from his body.

This was Tai Shang Xuan Ji, a peerless prodigy of the Supreme Sacred Ground, a true peerless talent, a true big shot, far more terrifying than the Spirit Wine Daoist that Lu Changsheng had seen before.

"Who exactly is this Tai Shang Xuan Ji?"

"Never heard of this person, who is he?"

Someone's voice sounded. Although Tai Shang Xuan Ji was very famous, there were still people who had not heard of him, such as Xu Jian and Li Ran.

"Damn, fellow Daoist, you don't even know Tai Shang Xuan Ji?"

"Did you just ascend?"

"Doesn't even know Tai Shang Xuan Ji?"

Xu Jian's voice attracted a lot of attention and surprise, because in their eyes, they really didn't expect that there would be someone who didn't know Tai Shang Xuan Ji.

"Tell us, who is this Tai Shang Xuan Ji? And this Ye Rujin."

Xu Jian couldn't help but continue to ask, he really didn't know.

"Then do you know the True Dragon榜 (bǎng)?"

Someone spoke, answering like this.

"Don't know." Xu Jian shook his head, he didn't know the True Dragon榜, he knew the Jiangshan榜 (bǎng), the list in the lower realm back then.

"Forget it, let me explain it to you."

"In our Immortal World, there are three major榜 (bǎng)s, the True Dragon榜, the Qiankun榜 (bǎng), and the Heavenly Pride榜 (bǎng), updated every five hundred years. Each榜 (bǎng) has a total of one hundred people. Those over five thousand years old or whose realm reaches Immortal King will automatically be removed from the榜 (bǎng)."

"Every existence that can be on the Heavenly Pride榜 (bǎng) is a famous prodigy of one domain. For example, the Spirit Wine Daoist is twenty-fifth on the Heavenly Pride榜 (bǎng), but you probably don't know the Spirit Wine Daoist."

"As for the Qiankun榜 (bǎng), everyone is a prodigy of one realm, for example, the Golden Crow Seventh Prince, ranked eighty-fifth, but you wouldn't know him even if I told you, but the truly terrifying one is the True Dragon榜 (bǎng)."

"Because to be on the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), there are three conditions to be met: first, the age must not exceed two hundred years, those over two hundred years old cannot be on the榜 (bǎng); second, the realm must not be lower than Immortal Venerable, no matter how strong you are below Immortal Venerable, you are not qualified to be on the榜 (bǎng); third, you must do three famous things, each of which must shock at least one domain, or challenge the prodigies on the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), or defeat all the prodigies on the Qiankun榜 (bǎng) to be on the榜 (bǎng)."

"So in our Immortal World, there are only seventy-two people on the True Dragon榜 (bǎng). Think about it, how many Immortals and how many prodigies are there in the entire Immortal World? But the True Dragon榜 (bǎng) is rarely full, and most of the time there will be fewer people, after all, there are too few people who meet the conditions."

This person spoke eloquently, leaving Xu Jian and Li Ran dumbfounded.

"That's not right, you said it wrong. The榜 (bǎng) is refreshed once every five hundred years, and the True Dragon榜 (bǎng) must not exceed two hundred years old, wouldn't that mean that when it's refreshed, a group of people won't be able to be on the榜 (bǎng)?"

Xu Jian immediately realized the loophole and couldn't help but ask.

"You're stupid, the True Dragon榜 (bǎng) is updated every year, as long as a real powerhouse appears, it will be updated in real time."

The other party's words made Xu Jian silent.

"Then who is this Ye Rujin?"

Xu Jian looked towards the firmament.

If Tai Shang Xuan Ji was full of mystery, then Ye Rujin was like a celestial maiden, surrounded by blue immortal light, and also had the aura of the Great Dao, wearing a Qingyun锦绣 (jǐn xiù) Flying Immortal Dress, giving a feeling of rising above the mud without being stained.

As for her appearance, it was even more beautiful. Although there were no ugly women in the Immortal World, the temperament was unchangeable. Ye Rujin's temperament was extraordinary, with some coldness, like a high and mighty fairy, but it didn't make people feel any disgust, but instead made them want to kneel at her pomegranate skirt.

Subconsciously, Xu Jian thought of Linglong Holy Maiden, but after thinking about it, Xu Jian still felt that Linglong Holy Maiden was better looking, after all, Linglong Holy Maiden's temperament was not the kind of high coldness, but a feeling of being ignorant of the world, untouched by worldly affairs, while this one was a bit more aloof.

"I didn't expect that this kind of small place would attract Tai Shang Xuan Ji and Ye Rujin."

Just at this moment, a loud voice sounded, and the next moment it was as if the sun appeared here. A round of golden sun appeared, making countless cultivators unable to open their eyes. Then a golden-haired man appeared here.

The man was clad in golden armor, his hair was golden, draped over his shoulders, like an immortal golden war god. He was very heroic, but also a bit妖异 (yāo yì) [demonic]. He was eight chi tall, standing in the void, a pair of eyes that seemed to melt everything.

"Golden Crow Second Prince!"

Someone was shocked and made a piercing sound.

"What? Even the Golden Crow Second Prince is here?"

"Have these kinds of existences come?"

"The Golden Crow clan has come? And it's the Second Prince?"

At this moment, countless cultivators were boiling again, really not expecting that even the Golden Crow Second Prince had come.

"Who is this Golden Crow Second Prince?"

Xu Jian couldn't help but open his mouth again, pulling a cultivator aside to ask.

"Damn, you don't even know the Golden Crow Second Prince? Even if you two just ascended, you can't not know that the Golden Crow is a divine beast, right?"

That cultivator was a little dazed, really didn't know how to吐槽 (tǔ cáo) [roast] these two.

"Fellow Daoist, don't always say 'just ascended' every time. If we knew, why would we ask you? Like this, I'll give you a hundred low-grade spirit stones, you introduce it properly. If someone else comes later, introduce them together, I won't let you introduce them for nothing, okay?"

Xu Jian was a little郁闷 (yù mèn) [depressed]. This guy was always making a fuss, always saying "just ascended, just ascended," making the surrounding cultivators look at him with inexplicable eyes, which made Xu Jian really郁闷 (yù mèn) [depressed].

"Two hundred!"

The latter thought for a while and stretched out two fingers.

"Just one hundred, if you don't want it, I'll find someone else." Xu Jian said seriously.

"Okay, okay, one hundred it is, one hundred it is." The latter directly took the immortal stones from Xu Jian's hand, and then began to popularize.

"The Golden Crow clan is known as a demigod race in our Immortal World, because this clan has a very good relationship with the God Race, but they are not God Race cultivators, so they are called demigods."

"From ancient times to the present, the Golden Crow clan has been very strong, after all, according to rumors, they are the incarnation of the golden sun, the incarnation of fire, born with congenital divine fire, a wisp of which can burn a Golden Immortal to death."

"According to rumors, Immortal King-level Golden Crows can噴 (pēn) [spout] out Nihility Divine Fire, burning space. Just one strand is enough that even Immortal Kings can't withstand it, so this clan is very strong."

"However, it is difficult for the Golden Crow clan to give birth to offspring, after all, they are a divine beast clan, but unexpectedly, in this era, the Golden Crow clan actually gave birth to ten Golden Crows. Do you know who is the strongest?"

He told the identities, origins, and rumors of these big shots one by one, as if reciting a list of family treasures, which made Xu Jian and Li Ran listen with great interest.

Not to mention them, the surrounding cultivators were also listening very attentively, and they all looked at this person.

"It must be the Golden Crow Crown Prince, right?"

Li Ran subconsciously guessed.

However, the latter shook his head and said, "Wrong, the Golden Crow Crown Prince is indeed very strong, ranked tenth on the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), but according to rumors, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow clan is the strongest. Of course, this is just a rumor, after all, the Tenth Prince has never made a move, and even not many people have seen him."

He said this way.

Letting Xu Jian and Li Ran suddenly understand.

"Then where are Tai Shang Xuan Ji and this Ye Rujin ranked? And this Golden Crow Second Prince."

Xu Jian asked.

"Tai Shang Xuan Ji is ranked twenty-first, Ye Rujin is ranked twelfth, the Golden Crow Second Prince is not qualified to enter the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), but he is the second day pride on the Qiankun榜 (bǎng), the first is an up-and-coming star, the Peacock King!"

This person knows a lot, remembers the rankings in his heart, knows a lot, he is a talent.

"So strong, but he hasn't even entered the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), truly terrifying."

"Tsk tsk! True Dragon榜 (bǎng), I wish I could get in."

Xu Jian and Li Ran couldn't help but smack their tongues. The Golden Crow Second Prince's appearance was terrifying, his vision was frightening, like a round of golden sun, and what's more, he was clad in golden armor, like an immortal war god. This appearance was simply威风 (wēi fēng) [majestic] beyond compare.

But unexpectedly, such an existence hadn't even entered the True Dragon榜 (bǎng), which really shocked them.

"What is this? The reason why the True Dragon榜 (bǎng) is known as the number one榜 (bǎng) in the Immortal World is because it has a very high gold content, and the True Dragon榜 (bǎng) is also full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It seems that the ranking is low, but it may be terribly strong, after all, this is not a Heavenly Dao榜 (bǎng), which can detect the other party's strength at all times. Some strong people know how to endure, understand?"

This person spoke, saying it earnestly and carefully. This time, many people subconsciously nodded.

"Brother, what's your name? How do you know so much?"

Xu Jian completely understood, but was curious about the other party's name.

"I am Baishitong (lit. Knows Everything), just a small name, not worth mentioning. As long as fellow Daoist gives me another hundred immortal stones, I can tell you even more confidential things."

Baishitong smiled confidently.

"Baishitong, oh, I know who it is, you are the famous Baishitong in our Southern Immortal World who likes to inquire about news, right?"

Someone spoke, knowing who Baishitong was.

"It's not that I like to inquire about news, it's called knowing yourself and your enemy. Cultivation is too boring, eating瓜 (guā) [gossip] is much better than cultivation. Does everyone want to share some melon with me?"

Baishitong smiled lightly. Although he seemed very humble, it always felt like he was a little smug.

But just at this moment.

Tai Shang Xuan Ji's voice sounded.

"I didn't expect that this kind of place could attract the Golden Crow Second Prince to come in person. I wonder what your elder brother is doing recently? Preparing for the True Dragon Gathering?"

His voice sounded without any emotion, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sarcasm or a normal question, it was very indifferent.

"True Dragon Gathering? Hehe, my elder brother doesn't have so much free time to prepare for the True Dragon Gathering. He has recently been comprehending my clan's Golden Crow Great Sun Divine Art. If there are no accidents, he will take the lead in stepping into the Immortal Saint Great Realm within three years."

The Golden Crow Second Prince slowly opened his mouth, between his eyebrows, with pride and high spirits.

"Immortal Saint?"

In an instant, the cultivators were shocked.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince is only two hundred years old, and he is already comprehending the Immortal Saint Great Realm? This is too fast, isn't it?

It's a bit unbelievable.

Tai Shang Xuan Ji's expression was calm, and Ye Rujin's expression was also extremely calm. They were not shaken in their Dao hearts because of what the Golden Crow Second Prince said, it wasn't that they didn't believe it, but that they themselves were extremely confident.

So what if they stepped into the Immortal Saint Great Realm?

For them, the difference between stepping in earlier or later was not very big.

However, just at this moment, the Golden Crow Second Prince glanced at the cultivators in the Xia Qing Sect mountain peak, and then coldly snorted, condescendingly saying.

"Peerless inheritance should be comprehended by peerless cultivators. You salted fishs, are you still trying to comprehend peerless inheritance?"

His voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of thunder, rumbling and shaking, the space vibrated, and all the cultivators were forcibly interrupted from their enlightenment state, and then they all looked at the Golden Crow Second Prince.

The initial anger instantly subsided after seeing the Golden Crow Second Prince.

Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke, slipping away, slipping away.

Figures left one after another. Even if they didn't leave completely, they didn't stay on the main peak, after all, the Golden Crow Second Prince was here, they didn't dare to provoke him.

Tai Shang Xuan Ji and Ye Rujin silently watched all this.

They naturally didn't like the Golden Crow Second Prince's actions, but it didn't affect them either. It was good that he drove people away, so they didn't have to squeeze in, it was pretty good.

The cultivators left, each of them with anger in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They could only clench their fists, hoping that one day, they could rise up and slap him in the face.

It's just that all the cultivators on the main peak have left, leaving only Lu Changsheng alone.

"That person is in trouble. The Golden Crow clan is the most overbearing and unreasonable. Everyone else has left, but that person hasn't left. There's going to be trouble."

Baishitong spoke, thinking that Lu Changsheng was going to attract trouble.

"What to do?"

Xu Jian saw this scene in the distance, he looked anxiously at Li Ran in the distance.

"Don't panic, no matter what, no matter where we are, no matter what trouble we encounter, just believe in Senior Brother Changsheng."

Li Ran spoke, thinking that Lu Changsheng didn't choose to leave, he must have his confidence.

Hearing this, Xu Jian thought about it, and it was true. Ever since he met Lu Changsheng, he had never seen Lu Changsheng suffer a loss.

At this moment.

On the main peak, the Golden Crow Second Prince turned his attention to Lu Changsheng, who was in the process of enlightenment.

In fact, Lu Changsheng was indeed in enlightenment.

He was pondering a very serious question. What kind of person would engrave a peerless inheritance on a plaque?

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.

And what's more, if the peerless inheritance was on the plaque, then he wouldn't have comprehended it after so long.

That can only prove one possibility.

That is, the inheritance is not in the plaque.

But if it's not in the plaque, where is it?

Could it be that he has to open a掛 (guà) [cheat] again?

Is it worth it for a peerless inheritance?

This is the question that Lu Changsheng is truly pondering.

But just then.

A voice sounded in his ear.

"Get out of the way!"

The voice exploded, like thunder灌耳 (guàn ěr) [pouring into the ears].

Lu Changsheng woke up from his contemplation.

Then he glanced indifferently at the speaker.

"Scram!"

In an instant, a voice rang out.

Then, with a bang.

The arrogant and despotic Golden Crow Second Prince was directly blown away.

And in an instant, millions of cultivators... were dumbfounded.

Even Tai Shang Xuan Ji and Ye Rujin couldn't help but reveal surprise in their eyes.
