After Huo Qubing's reward was given out, another line of golden words appeared on the Sons of Heaven Rankings.
The Heaven's Favorite Earth Rankings ended.
The Heaven Rankings would be opened in a month!
A total of 15 geniuses under the age of 25 with the strength of a great grandmaster would be selected from the Nine Regions.
Each of them will have a generous reward, so please look forward to it!
Then…
The prodigy roll slowly closed.
It was hidden in the clouds.
"I wonder which prodigies will be on the Heaven Rankings in a month?”
"There shouldn't be many people who are qualified to be on the rankings. The number of prodigies who have reached the strength of a martial grandmaster under the age of 25 can be counted on one hand.”
"I wonder how many treacherous subordinates Zhu Houzhao will create to enter the rankings?”
"Ha! It was difficult for even one of them!
If one wanted to raise a person with decent talent to the Great Grandmaster Realm, they would have to have a Heaven Realm mid-grade immortal pill or above. It was unknown if the entire Ming Imperial Family had a Heaven Realm mid-grade immortal pill or above.
How could he take out extra rewards to the treacherous officials?”
"Yes, brother, you're right. In a month's time, we won't be able to see the bunch of useless people under Zhu Houzhao.”
" Not only that, Zhu Houzhao, who has already been emptied of all his assets, probably doesn't have the ability to suppress the four treacherous officials under him. It's not far from the Darming Dynasty's demise…"
On the land of the Nine Prefectures.
The commoners were extremely curious about the list of prodigies on the Golden Prodigy Roll a month later. They all guessed which prodigies would be on the list.
Coincidentally, most of them did not think that Zhu Houzhao would have any subordinates on the rankings.
It wasn't just them.
In the imperial palaces of the various empires, after the emperors and the ministers around them discussed.
The final result was similar to that of the commoners.
It was very difficult to reach the great grandmaster realm.
Outstanding talent, opportunities, and cultivation techniques were indispensable.
If one wanted to rely on immortal pills to let someone with decent talent reach the great grandmaster realm, they would need at least a mid-grade heaven-tier immortal pill.
However, Heaven-tier mid-grade immortal pills were extremely precious. How could Zhu Houzhao casually take them out…
At this moment, in the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
Zhu Houzhao frowned.
Of course, he had a lot of immortal pills above the mid-grade of the Heaven Realm.
However, only one or two were given to each of the four treacherous officials. There was a high chance that they had used them themselves and not used them to improve their subordinates.
"Hmm, from the looks of it, none of the subordinates of the four treacherous officials can enter the Heaven Rankings.
If that's the case, how am I supposed to earn some fatuous ruler points?”
Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.
Soon, he felt relieved and smiled.
He shouldn't have a headache over this matter, because someone else would have a bigger headache than him.
"Let your four great rebels think of a way themselves. Why do they need me, the emperor, to worry about their subordinates wanting to be on the rankings?”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked out of the palace.
It was just as he had guessed.
At this moment, in the Great Bright Imperial City, the people with the greatest headache were the four treacherous officials under him: Zhu Budian, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Wei Zhongxian.
This was because if none of their subordinates could enter the rankings, they would have one less chance to show their strength.
A rebellion was imminent.
They urgently needed a high enough reputation to rope in some wavering forces to join them.
Even though their subordinates were on the rankings, there were more infamy.
However, infamy was better than no reputation at all.
"Damn it! Zhu Houzhao, that fatuous ruler, only gave me a mid-grade Heaven-tier immortal pill, and I've already taken it. We might not be on the Heaven's Prodigy Roll this time.”
"Great Governor, what should we do? The rebellion is imminent, and many neutral factions are watching. We urgently need to improve the reputation of the East Hall to win them over.”
Liu Xi looked worried.
"I wonder if Zhu Houzhao still has any Heaven Grade Middle Grade Immortal Pills?" Cao Zhengqing frowned.”
Cao Zhengchun: " Yes, I did. When Zhu Houzhao gave me the middle-grade immortal pills, I saw him take out a box. There were at least a dozen of them!”
"A dozen? So many!"
Liu Xi and Cao Zhengqing exclaimed.
Cao Zhengchun nodded." Although I don't know where Zhu Houzhao's son got his middle-grade immortal pills, he does have them."
In order to continue letting our subordinates enter the rankings and increase the reputation of our East Hall, we must think of a way to scam some middle-grade immortal pills from Zhu Houzhao.”
Liu Xi and Cao Zhengqing nodded in agreement.
Then, Liu Xi's eyes lit up." Isn't the fatuous ruler greedy for beauty? He even likes the singers and maidservants of the Great Han Dynasty. The martial world of the Nine Regions doesn't lack beautiful girls. Why don't we go and kidnap a few of them?"
As long as he was happy, asking for a middle-grade immortal pill from him would be a piece of cake.”
"Mm, Liu Xi's plan is brilliant. Let's do it this way!”
Cao Zhengchun was overjoyed. He immediately sent out his elite experts and left the city overnight.
It wasn't just him.
The other three treacherous officials, Zhu Bujue, Yu Huatian, and Wei Zhongxian, also thought of the same thing as him. They all sent elite subordinates to the various countries of the Nine Regions to secretly capture famous Jianghu beauties.
In exchange for a heaven-tier middle-grade immortal pill to help his subordinates enter the Heaven Rankings.
In the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he learned of their movements.
In the end, he sighed,"A few traitors. In order to earn prestige, they really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. They are indeed the most outstanding treacherous officials of my Ming Dynasty."”
"Yes, but their actions are exactly what I want.”
"A month later, the Heaven Rankings will be announced, and the reason why their geniuses are on the rankings will be revealed. At that time, the matter of me secretly instructing my subordinates to kidnap the beautiful girls of the Nine Provinces 'Jianghu will be exposed.
I'll definitely earn a lot of fatuous Monarch Points. It'll be great…"
At the same time, as someone who had read comprehensive martial arts novels, he was also curious about the beautiful girls who had stunned the entire martial arts world.
What kind of outstanding woman was she to be famous in the martial world?
"I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when they encounter my heaven-defying charm.”
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao became even more excited…
