Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day that the top three of the Nine Provinces 'Prodigy Roll would be announced.
Near noon, all the restaurants in the Nine Regions were full. Countless Jianghu people were drinking and bragging while waiting for the appearance of the prodigy roll.
"Have you heard?"
"Now, the various dynasties are looking for a person named Li Xuan!”
"Nonsense, why haven't I heard of it!"
" In the Southern Song Dynasty, Northern Song Dynasty, Great Ming Dynasty, Great Sui Dynasty, and Great Tang, everyone named Li Xuan has been captured and brought to the imperial city.”
"My aunt's third uncle's grandnephew's son-in-law was originally called Li Xuan, but he had no choice but to change his name to Li Ming!”
"We can't make this matter public. The five great empires have already said it!”
"All those who know and do not report will be punished with the same crime as deceiving the emperor.”
" Who is this Li Xuan?"
"Why are the five Majestic Empires looking for him?”
"I don't know…"
"Throughout the thousands of years of history of the Nine Provinces, there has never been such a grand search for a person!”
The Great Ming, Great Tang, Great Sui, and Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were all searching for a person named Li Xuan at the same time. This caused a huge commotion in the Nine Provinces!
Countless people were discussing Li Xuan's identity. Imperial relatives, peerless divine doctors, top-notch thieves, and countless legends had described him in an orderly manner. However, no one had ever seen Li Xuan's true appearance!
……
great Qin Empire
Ying Zheng's face was cold and stern as he gazed at the blue sky, waiting for the list to appear.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Qing Dynasty!”
"Di Yun's traces have been discovered. The Qing Emperor's subordinates did not do their job well and allowed Di Yun to escape capture. However, they caught a woman who was close to Di Yun!”Xu Fu reported respectfully.
"Got it!" Ying Zheng nodded coldly.
Di Yun, twelfth on the Prodigy Roll!
Obtained the Heaven's Path reward cultivation technique, Calamity Cloud Scripture!
Perhaps, Ying Zheng had been very interested in this cultivation art that could possibly unravel the secrets of life and death.
Each of them received a reward that would make even peak half-step Martial Immortal experts envious.
Compared to it, the Calamity Cloud Scripture was not that important.
"Let the Great Qing Dynasty set up an inescapable net. I will personally go there later!”Ying Zheng said domineeringly.
"Have you found Zhou Zhiruo and Wang Yuyan's whereabouts?”
If there was a treasure that Ying Zheng wanted to obtain the most, it would undoubtedly be the Dragon Pearl of Water and Fire and the phoenix blood, which could prolong one's life.
"This…Your Majesty, I have already stepped up my search!”Xu Fu said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Hurry up. You know that I don't have much patience left!”Ying Zheng's voice was laced with a chilling killing intent. After he finished speaking, he paid no more attention to them and focused his attention on the sky.
The reason why he had not personally snatched it was because he was waiting for the top three on the Prodigy Roll to appear today!
"Top three on the Prodigy Roll!"
"Who could it be?"
"What kind of strength will it be?"
……
East China Sea
peach blossom Island
Laughter rang out, and the sound of metal and horses set off a shocking wave that was dozens of feet high. However, compared to before, today's Xiao Sheng was undoubtedly a little more lonely.
After the tune of the Blue Sea Tide was played, Huang Yaoshi looked at the calm sea in front of him in a daze.
Medicine Master Huang was known as one of the Five Unique in the Southern Song Dynasty. His cultivation was already at the beginning stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm!
He had always been conceited that he was the most talented person in the nine provinces.
Qimen Dun Jia, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, the five elements, eight trigrams, he knew all of them!
He created his own martial arts from the Peach Blossom Island. His posture was elegant, his movements were unrestrained, and his moves were exquisite.
However, ever since the Prodigy Roll appeared, Medicine Master Huang realized that not to mention the Nine Provinces…
Even if he was compared to the younger generation, he was far inferior!
Starting from the eleventh place, every prodigy on the rankings was a late-stage martial arts grandmaster under the age of 30. Their strength far exceeded that of Apothecary Huang, who was already a grandfather.
Moreover, the fourth place was already at the peak of the martial arts grandmaster realm!
What about the top three?
Huang Yaoshi, who had suffered a heavy blow, did not dare to think about it anymore.
"Today is the day the top three will be announced, right?”Looking up at the sky, Huang Yaoshi sighed.
If only she could have been born a few decades earlier!
……
Great Sui Imperial Palace
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was still living a life of luxury and extravagance. As the Great Sui's national fortune declined, the True Dragon Body Protection cultivated by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty became weaker and weaker.
Yang Guang knew that the moment the national fate dissipated, it would be the moment he was killed!
Looking at the clear sky outside the hall, Yang Guang felt regret for the first time.
Back then, he had framed Yang Yong and sat on the throne with the support of the various aristocratic families. He had been bewitched by power and only wanted to do great things and become the emperor of the ages!
Building the canal and conquering Koryo were originally good things that would benefit thousands of years, but because of his impatience, it caused chaos in the country.
The aristocratic families that had originally supported him had also developed and strengthened under his connivance. They were faintly independent and had the situation of a country within a country.
" Unfortunately, if I hadn't chosen this false power back then and had chosen to walk the path of martial arts…"
"Raise the power of the entire Sui Dynasty to help me improve my martial cultivation. Martial arts grandmaster? Yuwen Huaji?"
"If I enter the top ten of the Sons of Heaven Rankings, would Li Tangan dare to be impudent? How dare Yuwen Huaji rebel? How dare the various families stand on their own?"
" And that demoness, how dare she threaten me to find some Li Xuan?”
"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world!”Yang Guang drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and looked at the sky with envy.
Today was the day that the top three of the Nine Provinces 'Prodigy Roll would be announced!
……
Southern Song Dynasty
"That witch still hasn't found the person she's looking for?”Emperor Lizong frowned, not daring to say anything.
There are already more than a thousand people named Li Xuan outside the city, but there's no one that he's looking for!”The eunuch at the side carefully reported.
"Humph!" Li Zong slammed the table in anger, then put down his arm weakly.
They couldn't beat him, and he wouldn't listen to reason.
If I can't find you in a month, I'll kill you!
For the first time, the emperor who had ruled the Southern Song Dynasty for decades felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Li Zong looked up at the sky outside the hall.
In another hour, the top three on the Nine Provinces Prodigy Roll would be updated!
If our Southern Song Imperial Family had a peerless Heaven's Favorite, why would we be afraid of that woman?
Hatred!
"Pass down my decree. If the top three on the Prodigy Roll are willing to come to my Southern Song Dynasty, I will be on equal footing with them and share the world!”
Gritting his teeth, the Li Sect offered a condition that all emperors would find intolerable!
……
Great Yuan Dynasty
"Damn it!"
Kublai Lie smashed his favorite blue-and-white porcelain.
"Is there still no news from the Living Buddha of Tantra?”
"Your Majesty, the Tantra Sect said that their rinpoche Phagspa went out a few days ago and has yet to be found!”The leader of the hidden guards knelt on the ground.
"Sakya Monastery has already closed its doors. I won't accept any more guests!"
"Damn it, I spent so many treasures and even lowered myself to enter the treasury. In the end, I mysteriously disappeared?”The more Kublai Khan thought about it, the angrier he became!
"And that Revered Martial Artist Bi Xuan, is his brain damaged?”
"Next year, when We cut off the source of Turkic iron, we will let them return to the slash-and-burn era!”
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The leader of the secret guards did not dare to say a word in the face of the furious Hubilai Lie. He wished he could bury his head in the ground.
"Damn it!"
After venting his anger, Kublai Lie finally calmed down.
He looked at the sun in the sky. It was almost noon, and the prodigy roll was about to refresh!
It was just that he did not know how powerful the top three were!
It was originally a list of the strength of the young generation under the age of 30 in the nine provinces. In the beginning, many people did not take this list seriously.
After all, a prodigy who had not grown up was a dead man!
But now…
Starting from the eleventh place, all of them were late-stage martial arts grandmasters!
The Nine Provinces Prodigy Roll had already faintly become the Nine Provinces Peak Roll!
"It would be great if our Great Yuan Empire could have a top three prodigy on the prodigy roll!”Kublai Khan let out the same sigh.
……
Qing Dynasty
Flying guillotine headquarters
"Miss, this is the pastry I specially asked someone to make!”The Six Devils of the East of Guan, who terrified countless people, stood respectfully at the side like six primary school students.
The headquarters of the Flying Guillotine was a place that terrified countless people. Anyone who came in would at least end up with a serious injury or disability.
However, the six plates of desserts in front of Shui Sheng were so exquisite that it was obvious that they were made by the royal chefs.
Shui Sheng glanced at the plates of desserts without saying a word of thanks.
The Six Devils of Guandong were embarrassed and secretly annoyed.
Before the six of them became sworn brothers, they were all notorious thieves in the underworld. After they joined the imperial court, they became even more powerful. They had never suffered such grievances!
"Miss, if there's nothing else, the six of us will take our leave first. If there's anything, just call us!”The demon suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
With that, he turned around and left the room with his six brothers.
"Big Brother, I just don't understand. Isn't it just a little girl?”
"When have our brothers ever suffered such humiliation?”Not long after they left the house, the Five Devils could not help but shout.
"You've been with the Flying Guillotine for so long, but have you ever seen a prisoner so calm?”The demon pointed at the room behind him and asked,""If she didn't have such a powerful backer, would she dare to treat us like this?”
Hearing this, the Five Devils immediately did not dare to say anything more.
At this moment, Zhang Zhaozhong walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Six Devils of Guandong disdainfully and snorted coldly."How can you bow and scrape to a prisoner?”
"Humph!"
"You guys have completely disgraced the Flying Guillotine!”
"Commander Zhang doesn't have to worry about this!”The demon retorted indifferently and left with his five brothers.
After Zhang Zhao watched the Six Devils of Guandong leave, he thought for a moment and went to Shui Sheng's room. He knocked on the door gently.
"Miss, are you used to living here?”
"If you need anything, just tell me. Those six old devils are not good people!”
……
Qing Dynasty
Palace
Imperial kitchen
"My Lord, that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng has gone too far!”
"Even though the Great Qing Empire is not as strong as Great Qin, under Master's wise leadership, we will surpass them sooner or later!”
"When the time comes, this servant is willing to personally lead an army to avenge Master's humiliation today!”He Shen Diu nodded and bowed as he flattered Qianlong.
"Sigh!"
Qianlong sighed and slowly put down the memorial.
"I only hate that my Qing Dynasty doesn't have a peerless expert to guard it!”
He turned his gaze to the sky outside the hall, his eyes filled with envy."I wonder what kind of immortal characters the top three on the Nine Provinces 'Prodigy Roll are!”
……
Nameless Courtyard
Seeing that the Nine Provinces 'Prodigy Roll was about to appear, Lian Xing, who was hiding in the house and pretending to be making pastries and did not dare to go out, asked her sister Yao Yue for help. Yao Yue was also at a loss.
She had never expected that her husband would not discover her after hiding for so many years.
In the end, it was exposed by the Heavenly Dao!
Would her husband still like her after knowing her identity?
The two women had never doubted Li Xuan's love for them. However, even if it was a one in ten thousand chance, they didn't dare to gamble!
Li Xuan was in the courtyard outside the room. The two of them didn't dare speak, so all Lian Xing could do was blink her eyes frantically.
"Sister, quickly think of a way!"
Yao Yue blinked innocently as well.
"Why don't you want to?!"
Lian Xing blinked again and pouted her lips towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Why don't we take the initiative to confess? Fight for leniency?"
Yao Yue shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid!"
Lian Xing was speechless.
"What are you two madams doing? Quickly come out and take a look at the Prodigy Roll!"
What they feared came true. Just as the two girls were communicating with their eyes, Li Xuan's voice suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard.
"Alright, husband, we'll come right away!”Yao Yue replied to the door and looked at Lian Xing.
The two women took a few deep breaths and walked out of the door, feeling as if they were about to go to the execution ground.
"What took you so long? Hurry up and come. The Prodigy Roll is about to refresh!”
Outside, Li Xuan didn't notice the abnormality on the two girls 'faces. He spread his arms and pulled Lian Xing Yao Yue into his embrace.
"Who do you think will be able to enter the top three of the Prodigy Roll?”Li Xuan asked curiously. He had only imparted eight martial arts previously, but they had already been on the rankings.
Could it be a prodigy from the Nine Provinces?
However, the Nine Provinces was so big. It was not strange for one or two prodigies to come out!
"I don't know either. What do you think, husband?”The smile on Yao Yue's face became even more unnatural.
"The Nine Provinces is so big. It's impossible for husband to know everything!”Li Xuan lovingly scratched Yao Yue's nose.
" But I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling…"
"As if I forgot something." Li Xuan scratched his head.
Just as they were talking, noon arrived.
Under the expectant gazes of countless people, the dazzling golden light once again illuminated the world.
An ancient scroll slowly appeared in the nine heavens, and lines of seal characters appeared on the rankings.
Sons of Heaven Rankings, third place!
Lian Xing!
[Identity: Second Palace Master of the Flower Transferring Palace!]
[Realm: Half-Step Martial Celestial!]
He also had a cultivation technique, Lunar Bright Jade Technique!
[Reward: Dragon Essence!] The essence of a dragon was unparalleled and could break through the bottleneck of a Martial Immortal!
The moment the rankings were out, the entire Nine Provinces was in an uproar!
"What? The third place on the Prodigy Roll is actually a powerhouse at the peak of the Half-Step Martial Celestial Stage?”
"Is this really a list that only geniuses under the age of 30 can enter?”
"How is this possible…"
"This old man has cultivated for more than 200 years, but I'm still inferior to a little girl?”
" Long Yuan has broken through the bottleneck of the Martial Immortal Realm!"
"Could it be that another peerless Martial Immortal is about to appear in the Nine Provinces?”
Countless people discussed in disbelief!
……
great Qin Empire
"Dragon Essence!"
"This Long Yuan can actually break through the bottleneck of the Martial Immortal Realm?”
"No matter what, I must obtain this Long Yuan!”Looking at the reward issued by the Heavenly Dao in the sky, Ying Zheng could no longer remain calm!
Even the mysterious leader of the Yin-Yang School, who had always had an unfathomable image, was trembling with excitement.
A peerless Martial Celestial!
This was the lifelong pursuit of all powerhouses at the Half-Step Martial Celestial Stage!
"Imperial Preceptor, you helped me seize the Dragon Essence. I am willing to make a solemn oath that after I break through to the peerless Martial Immortal Realm, I will definitely help you break through before your lifespan runs out. Otherwise, the heavens will despise me and I will die a horrible death!”
Ying Zheng said coldly to the leader of the Yin-Yang School.
Both of them were half-step Martial Immortals. Even if Ying Zheng was slightly stronger, there was a limit to his strength!
The leader of the Yin-Yang School only wanted to follow the example of the ancient people and try to take the last step with the help of the illusory fate of the empire before agreeing to serve the Great Qin Empire. Ying Zheng did not dare to really order this peak expert who was only a step away from the Martial Immortal realm to serve him.
"Good!"
The mysterious leader of the Yin-Yang School answered after a moment of silence.
