“Three Hua Reshaping Pills, Five Elements Gold Binding Pill, Foundation Building Pill, Yellow Bud Pill…”
“Green Jade Rice, Yellow Beam Rice, Evergreen Rice, Dragon Tiger Paddy, Non-Urgent Water…”
“Azure Dragon YiWood Tree, White Tiger Gengjin Sword, Vermillion Bird Ding Fire Bead, Kui Water Black Tortoise Tripod, Jitu Qilin Seal…”
“Spiritual Treasures, Magical Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Talismans, Formation Maps, Command Flags…”
“Spirit Lands, Cave Mansions…”
Within the list, all sorts of Spiritual Objects dazzled the eyes.
Xu Yang, however, did not say much, and decisively declared, “Three days from now, the inaugural Ten Thousand Dao Competition will be held within the Sky-reaching Tower. Disciples of the Academy may all participate to celebrate this occasion!”
Having said this, he did not concern himself with the reactions of those present, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he vanished into the clouds and mist.
Leaving the crowd standing in place, staring at the Ten Thousand Dao jade tokens in their hands, unable to recover their senses for a long time.
…
The legal system had been established, and what followed was its operation and full-force development.
There was nothing much to say about that. Treatments were offered, rewards and punishments were clear, and material motivation drove people to succeed one after another.
This Ten Thousand Dao Competition was an even more ingenious move, enhancing enthusiasm and competitiveness, significantly accelerating the development pace of the Wandao School.
The only downside was that in the early stages, it required a substantial investment of resources before reaping the corresponding returns.
But that was not a concern, as Xu Yang’s assets were now very rich. With the foundations of the Dragon and Tiger Platform and the Evergreen Palace, he could fully support such an initial investment.
Especially the Evergreen Palace, this Divine Martial Heritage, was extremely adept at cultivating Spirit Plants. The Eternal Evergreen Great Array that enveloped the Green Emperor City, besides the Eternal Evergreen Stele as the array’s eye, had millions of Spirit Plants as its foundational roots.
This was also the reason Xu Yang took over the Evergreen Palace—this place was just too suitable for farming. He had even already yielded quite a few results, and combined with his Skill Traits, the Farming Great Law, the development could truly be described as skyrocketing.
With such a development, would he be able to resolve those people from the Temple of War God in two hundred years?
It was still hard to say!
But pacifying the world, unifying the land, and gathering the forty-eight War God’s Atlases from the major forces of both the black and white paths under his command, that would definitely not be an issue.
So…
That night, within a room in the Green Emperor City, a group of people gathered.
“The Ancestor Emperor is truly generous!”
“Even treasures like the Dragon Tiger Golden Core, the Eternal Evergreen Pill, and the Overlord Non-urgent Liquid can be exchanged.”
“One million contribution points, that’s not much. That Mo Bufan only followed the Ancestor Emperor for a few decades, and with his Artifact Refining skills, he’s accumulated tens of thousands of contribution points. If we all work hard, within a hundred years we must be able to exchange for one Dragon Tiger Golden Core.”
“Chen’er, you are the greatest talent of our Su Family’s main branch, with the highest hope of advancing to Divine Intent. We will support you with all our might; you must strive diligently and make our Su Family’s main branch return to the Ancestor Emperor’s favor!”
“In terms of bloodline, that Su Shaoqing is just a side branch. If it wasn’t for his ancestor’s audaciousness long ago, who stole the Ancestor Emperor’s body, how could they have today’s glory?”
“We are the true direct descendants of the Su Family, the main branch of Heaven Martial. How can we let a member from a side branch monopolize the grace?”
“We might have let it be before, given that the Ancestor Emperor’s whereabouts were erratic, and we could not pledge allegiance. But now that we have entered the Wandao School and returned under the Ancestor Emperor’s wing, we from the main branch of Heaven Martial must give our all to restore the family’s former glory!”
“The Ancestor Emperor’s grand ambition, with the Sky-reaching Tower, the Wind and Cloud Stele, the six main lists, and over a hundred sub-lists gathering talents from all over the world, has formed a systematic institution. Even if those old immortals from the Temple of War God come back, they would be as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
“Those old immortals in the Temple of War God are at most at the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Realm while the Ancestor Emperor has now set up the Divine Martial List, with the inclusion of Immortal Path Mahayana, and the spirit of Divine Martial and Martial Path. It is evident that the Ancestor Emperor has support and fears nothing.”
“In this upcoming Ten Thousand Dao Competition, we must exert our full effort. Unless something unexpected occurs, the Ancestor Emperor will surely send troops to quell the world after the competition. Those who perform excellently and rank high on the list will inevitably be entrusted with important tasks, a great opportunity to build achievements and fame!”
“Besides the black and white paths and the five retracted realms guarded by major forces, who in the world could withstand the Ancestor Emperor’s military might?”
…
Elsewhere, within another room, two individuals faced each other.
A youth exclaimed with bright eyes, “Father, this Heaven Martial Emperor, what a grand gesture!”
The middle-aged man opposite him nodded, “Yes, indeed. To willingly open up such treasures for exchange—befitting of the Divine Martial Ancestor.”
The youth continued, “Although we are descended from the Divine Martial Heritage, in reality, we are just a side branch. Fighting and toiling for the main branch, serving like oxen and horses, we’d only get a chance to comprehend the atlases a few times. As for treasures like the Dragon Tiger Golden Core, we should not even entertain the thought—unless a genius emerges, otherwise, for a thousand years there’d be no hope for Divine Intent!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed, “Indeed. That’s our position as a side branch. If we talk about those outsiders who seek to join us, fighting to death to contribute, they would only get one chance to comprehend the atlases, at best. Without fate, let alone Divine Intent, even achieving Divine Bridge is difficult. This Heaven Martial Emperor’s magnanimity is about winning the hearts of the world, making them serve and die for him loyally!”
The youth nodded and tentatively asked, “Then should we still…”
“Still what?”
The middle-aged man glared at him and said sternly, “Remember our identity, we are not traitors but vassals who have defected. We have broken with the main family, and from now on, we must be loyal to his Majesty and loyal to the Wandao School. Only this way can we preserve our family heritage. Do you understand?”
“This…”
The youth was momentarily taken aback, still hesitant, “Although that’s the case, can we really gain his trust with our background?”
The middle-aged man shook his head, solemnly stating, “His Majesty is divine and highly perceptive of the heavenly secrets. Do you think our identity could be hidden from him?”
The youth was astonished, “Then why…”
“Because it’s necessary!”
The middle-aged man softly chuckled, “The major powers in the five retracted realms are entrenched in themselves, while the Wandao School occupies the other forty-three realms, necessitating a vast number of people. We have come to alleviate this concern. As long as we are upright in our position and serve earnestly, our background won’t matter to his Majesty.”
After saying this, the middle-aged man placed his palm on the youth’s shoulder, and with a grave expression, he advised, “So, the background does not matter. What’s important is the value we bring, and our attitude!”
“We must do better, better than anyone else. In this way, if his Majesty triumphs, we, the side branch, will become the main branch of the family. Conversely, if we lose, the main branch will also continue the Zhang Family’s lineage!”
“Do you understand?”
“This…”
Facing his father’s gaze, the youth was momentarily stunned before suddenly coming to a realization. He assured vehemently, “I understand, father. I will strive diligently and serve his Majesty with undying loyalty.”
“Very good!”
The middle-aged man nodded and looked away, his eyes flashing with fierce determination, “Starting with this Ten Thousand Dao Competition, as long as you and I are united as one, in the future within the Academy, there will be a place for our Zhang Family!”
