Chapter 455: Chapter 284: Development_2

Others may be unaware, but Chu Lingfeng, how could you not know?

Within the Temple of War God, there are hidden a batch of experts at the peak of Divine Martial, and even those who have stepped into the Tribulation Realm!

Those are the unparalleled figures from the various Divine Martial inheritances. Although they could have grown old and died within the Temple of War God, they might also have comprehended the mysteries of the Broken Void and set foot in the unfathomable Heaven and Earth Tribulation Realm.

Once these experts from the Tribulation Realm, these Supreme Ancestors from the various inheritances, return, even the tyrant with Heaven-Reaching methods would have to lament. Why would you, Chu Lingfeng, want to stay on this sinking ship?

Zhang Shaobai just couldn’t understand, really couldn’t understand.

Chu Lingfeng shook his head, calmly saying, “Brother Shaobai, everyone has their own aspirations. Although I have been a prisoner for thirty-eight years, I feel an unprecedented sense of ease. There is no longer any need for scheming and conniving, engaging in vile deeds. Every day, I listen to the scriptures and discuss the Tao. How delightful and refreshing is that?”

Having said that, he sighed softly, “Brother Shaobai, although you are a direct descendant of the Zhang Family, ask yourself, does the overt and covert struggle within the family, and what you face today, truly reflect your original aspirations?”

“You…!”

Zhang Shaobai’s face stiffened, at a loss for words.

Chu Lingfeng shook his head and spoke no more, “A person must die someday, whether as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. The Chu Lingfeng of the past did too many things against his conscience. Today, I only wish to be truly myself, without shame or regret, even in death!”

“Brother Shaobai, take care of yourself.”

With those words, he didn’t wait for Zhang Shaobai’s reaction. Both hands clasped together, he turned and left with Li Hongjun.

“You…!”

Watching the two walk off hand in hand, Zhang Shaobai’s face turned the color of iron, and he clenched his teeth tightly. Helpless and exasperated, he could only turn around furiously and storm off.

…

And so, three more days passed, and the decision whether to stay or leave was settled.

Within the Green Emperor City, inside the Palace of Ten Thousand Dao.

Beneath the cloud throne, everyone gathered once again.

Xu Yang sat upon the clouds, looking down to see the crowd had grown, not diminished—a testament to contributions from all sides.

Although the release of the prisoners saw some like Zhang Shaobai leave, there were also quite a few like Li Hongjun, those who were not favored in their Divine Martial inheritance and chose to stay, planning their development.

There were also some like Chu Lingfeng, who, influenced by both the Taoist True Scriptures and Skill Traits, underwent a thorough transformation.

Those who remained, along with the pieces placed by all parties and the candidates eagerly joining, naturally resulted in an increase in number.

Xu Yang was quite pleased with this, “Today you enter our rank to carry on the heritage of Ten Thousand Dao. This calls for celebration!”

Having said that, he threw out an object.

The object shone brightly with Spirit Light, growing larger against the wind. Hundred zhang, thousand zhang, until finally it landed with a thunderous impact, transforming into a White Jade Treasure Pagoda, a thousand zhang tall.

“Bang!!!”

As the treasure pagoda landed with a rumble, standing firm on the reserved grounds, it instantly became the tallest structure within Green Emperor City.

The crowd outside, looking at the majestic thousand-zhang pagoda, as imposing as mountains and peaks, were at first puzzled.

At that moment, Xu Yang raised his hand and with a flick of his sleeve, he tossed the Qiankun, and myriad beams of Spirit Light shot out, falling into the hands of the crowd.

When the people looked at what they received, they saw a jade token made of Spirit Crystal, exuding an extraordinary brilliance,

Then they heard Xu Yang say, “This is the Ten Thousand Dao Identity Token, containing your identity. Probe it with your divine senses, and you will understand its secrets!”

The crowd was startled, and then came to their senses. Mo Bufan was even the first to act, sending his divine senses into the jade token.

“Name: Mo Bufan.”

“Cultivation: Immortal Path Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Position: Third-tier Artifact Refiner at the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute.”

“Ten Thousand Dao Contribution Points: 83,750 points.”

Looking at the identity and position details within the Ten Thousand Dao jade token, as well as those contribution points, before Mo Bufan could fully understand the meaning, a flood of information surged into his mind.

“The Sky-reaching Tower of Ten Thousand Dao, the rankings of aspirations under the heavens!”

“All under the heavens, it’s all there, six main lists supported by a hundred supplementing lists!”

“The top of the main list is the Divine Martial List, which accepts Mahayana Cultivators without restrictions on the number or system. Whether it’s the Immortal Path or Martial Path, all can compete to be listed. Those listed can enjoy various privileges from the Scholar’s Palace…”

“The next on the main list is the Heaven Martial List, which accepts those who have achieved the Immortal Path Union and Martial Path Heaven Tribulation’s Man, matching the number of Heaven Gang, rounding up to thirty-six people.”

“The third main list is the Earth Martial List, taking those who have reached the Immortal Path Returning to Void and Martial Path Earth Calamity’s Man, matching the number of Earth Sha, totaling seventy-two people.”

“The fourth main list is the Human Martial List, for those who have achieved Immortal Path God Forming and Martial Path Divine Intent, multiplying the number of Heaven Gang by a hundred, rounding up to three thousand six hundred people.”

“The fifth main list is the Hidden Dragon List, for those in the Immortal Path Nascent Soul and Martial Path Divine Bridge, multiplying the number of Earth Sha by a hundred, rounding up to seven thousand two hundred people.”

“The sixth main list is the Talents List, for cultivators below Nascent Soul and Divine Bridge within the first three realms of Immortal and Martial Paths, taken hundredfold the combined count of Heaven Gang and Earth Sha, amounting to ten thousand and eight hundred people!”

“Beyond the six main lists, there are countless subsidiary lists for various arts!”

“Beast Taming, Spirit Plant Cultivation, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Talisman Making, Array Setting… for every craft a Cultivator needs, there’s a ranking to be had!”

“Those on the lists will receive their respective rewards and prizes, all generously endowed!”

“The rankings on the list will be decided by the Ten Thousand Dao Grand Competition.”

“The Ten Thousand Dao Grand Competition occurs every three years to determine the aspirations under the heavens and the standings on each list. Regardless of winning or losing, participants can earn Ten Thousand Dao Contribution Points!”

“Ten Thousand Dao Contribution Points can be exchanged for various rewards within the Sky-reaching Tower of Ten Thousand Dao!”

“Subduing Dragon and Tiger Golden Core, a great pill for cultivation, can aid those on the Immortal Path to God Forming and Martial Path to Divine Intent, helping to achieve the Overlord Non-urgent Body. The exchange price is one million contribution points!”

“The Eternal Evergreen Pill, a longevity Spirit Pill and holy medicine for healing wounds. Effective for anyone below the sixth tier, it can also cultivate the Eternal Evergreen Body. The exchange price is one million two hundred thousand contribution points!”

“The Overlord Non-urgent Liquid, a rare substance for body forging, can greatly enhance the physique and is essential for cultivating the Overlord Non-urgent Body. The exchange price is one million three hundred thousand contribution points!”
