After entering the Martial Saint realm.
His perception was very different from before.
In accordance with the Great Dao, one's body encompasses heaven and earth, transcending the ordinary and attaining sainthood.
"Is this the realm of a Martial Saint...?"
Li Ming stood up like a god or demon, radiating divine light that shone as brightly as the sun and moon and as dazzling as the stars. His body was crystal clear and shimmered with seven-colored glass.
The Martial Saint is a crucial realm for martial artists.
The phrase "completely transformed" is insufficient to describe the magnitude of its change.
Even without opening one's third eye, one can sense the flow of energy in the void.
Ordinary martial arts masters use their true energy to activate their martial arts and unleash their supernatural powers.
This would increase the power by more than ten times.
His chaotic true essence far exceeds this number.
Name: Li Ming
[Cultivation Level]: [Third-Rank Martial Saint (First Heaven)]
[Martial Arts]: [Chaos Heavenly Scripture - Martial Saint Chapter (Beginner 0%), Destruction Dao Text - First Layer (Beginner 50%), Immovable King Skill - Second Layer (Minor Success), Maha Boundless Skill - First Layer (Major Success), Overlord Fist - First Form (Perfect), Xuanhuang Only I Sword (Minor Success)...]

[Items]: [Azure Emperor Wooden Emperor Seal, Chaos Sword Embryo, Void-Piercing Divine Bow, Peerless Divine Arrow, Heavenly Profound Divine Armor...]
[Life Energy]: [0]
"What a 'bankrupt' situation..."
Li Ming was speechless, but seeing that his entry had been comprehensively improved, he felt relieved.
Two purple-level entries.
One is that [Spirit of Destruction] becomes [Chosen One of Destruction], and the effect is exactly the same.
Another change was in his physical condition.
[Chaotic Azure Lotus Body (Deep Purple)]: [A supreme physique with boundless potential waiting to be explored. Your lifespan is extremely long; as long as you don't die, you will surely ascend to the pinnacle of all heavens.]
"The supreme physique has been initially formed. Although it is only at the purple level, its potential is limitless. If this continues, it may be able to advance to the gold level..."
Li Ming carefully examined all his entries and analyzed them one by one.
"His strength and physical attributes have also improved considerably."
【Dragon and Elephant Reborn (Red)】: 【With a body like a true dragon and strength like a divine elephant, a mere gesture can overturn rivers and seas; in the blink of an eye, a roar can bring down stars.】
[Innate Divine Bone (Red)]: [You are born with extraordinary abilities. A fragment of divine bone grows within your body. Thanks to this fragment, you are born with unparalleled abilities, extraordinary physical constitution, dragon-like tendons and bones, and boundless energy. You are a peerless genius, one in ten thousand years...]
"It's a pity. This divine bone seems to be incomplete, so it can't play a very big role."
His luck has increased significantly, reaching the red level.
【Blessed by Heaven (Red)】: 【Abundant fortune, blessed by Heaven; if you don't court death, you won't die...】
And [Wanxiang Martial Arts] has also become [God of Martial Arts].
[God of Martial Arts (Red)]: [A martial arts legend, proficient in all weapons and physical techniques.]
"However, I didn't expect that the hidden keywords would be promoted to the point of being out of the question, and even the appearance and temperament category has spawned red-level keywords."
Li Ming was somewhat moved.
"And the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Seal seems to have recognized me as its landlord and is now living in my sea of consciousness."
It seems it doesn't want a mere Martial Saint like me to use it, so it's just quietly staying by the Green Lotus... That's fine then.
Seeing this, Li Ming didn't care.
After all, divine weapons possess spirits, let alone this renowned innate divine weapon.
Just because you can't subdue them now doesn't mean you can't subdue them in the future, right?
"It's time to go out."
Li Ming didn't know how long he had spent in this world.
With the help of the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Seal, he can now be considered the master of this world, able to come and go as he pleases.
...
The eastern region of the Xuanhuang Realm, Daozhou.
Daozhou is one of the four continents of the Eastern Region, and also the most powerful continent in the Eastern Region.
For tens of thousands of years, this place has been the most spiritually rich in the Eastern Region. Many holy lands and sects have come here to establish their sects, using countless countries and cities as a base to gather the spiritual energy of the continent into the mountains.
This place is also known as the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect.
The Myriad Laws Mountain of the Great Xuan is a sect established by the Great Xuan himself, whose true disciples passed down his teachings.
This day marks the initiation ceremony for new disciples of the Wanfa Tianzong sect.
"I have finally broken through to the Martial Saint realm, forged the Myriad Laws Saint Body, and am now qualified to join the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect."
Gazing at the palaces that appeared and disappeared above the sea of clouds, Wan Qiankun was filled with excitement.
We traveled hundreds of millions of miles to get here via a teleportation array.
That was so that he could join the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect.
He entered Wanfa Mountain at a young age and was instilled by his teachers with how powerful the Wanfa Heavenly Sect was.
He was told that he must forge the Myriad Laws Sacred Body in order to have a chance to enter the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect and have a limitless future.
Disciples from subordinate sects like him naturally have stricter requirements.
He achieved the title of Martial Saint at the age of twenty-two.
Placed in the Great Xuan, it would be sufficient to record in historical annals.
However, within the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect, he was not considered a prodigy, and naturally, he would not be accepted as a true disciple.
However, even if it's not the true transmission.
But that's enough to become an inner disciple, and the resources and benefits they receive are far beyond what the inner sects of the Great Xuan Sect can offer.
Moreover, he is qualified to cultivate the supreme divine skill, the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws".
"Uncle-Master has arrived!"
Suddenly, a golden sword pierced the sky above the crowd, and people in the distance exclaimed in surprise.
Wan Qiankun's heart tightened, and he and many newly initiated disciples quickly bowed from afar to welcome the sword light.
This is a first-rank Martial Saint, whose cultivation is unfathomable.
His cultivation of supreme supernatural powers far surpasses that of those bumpkins like Da Xuan.
"We pay our respects to Martial Uncle Lin!"
"Disciples."
The sword light remained suspended in the sea of clouds, and the newcomer did not reveal their figure, but simply spoke:
"The Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect only values strength. The Myriad Laws Heavenly Book is also a supreme divine skill with endless mysteries. You have the opportunity to join the sect, so you should cultivate diligently. If you make it to the top of the Golden List, you may very well become a true disciple one day!"
As the saying goes, the law should not be lightly transmitted, and the Way should not be sold cheaply.
The jurisdiction of all holy land sects, including the Wanfa Tianzong, is extremely strict.
Ordinary disciples are not qualified to cultivate divine skills at all.
Inner disciples are not taught complete cultivation techniques, nor are some top-level supernatural abilities.
Only true disciples receive the sect's full support and training.
It allows one to access all the sect's books and practice any divine skill or secret technique within the sect.
Therefore, becoming a true disciple is extremely difficult!
In each generation of the Holy Land, the number of true disciples usually does not exceed ten, and sometimes there are only two or three!
As for the Golden List, its full name is the Mysterious Golden List.
It is an innate divine weapon forged by the first great emperor of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Xuanhuang Emperor.
The list, which encompasses all the powerful figures and geniuses in the Xuanhuang Realm, already makes one a genius in their own right by being listed on it.
Those who stand at the forefront are all true disciples and holy sons of a sacred land.
If they truly rank at the top, then various sacred sites will probably be vying to accept their teachings as their true essence...
The disciples were inwardly discussing the matter, all finding it impossible, but outwardly they all nodded, not daring to show any expression.
"Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle!"
The disciples didn't believe it, and Lin Bei himself, who said those words, didn't believe it either.
It's just that his senior uncle taught him this way when he first entered the sect, so he just took it as a joke and played a game with these disciples.
Such a person is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.
Just as he was preparing to lead his disciples to the sect's main hall.
"You all, follow me... hmm?"
Suddenly, a dazzling divine light burst forth in the void, illuminating the mountains for thousands of miles. Lin Bei was so startled by this immense aura that he almost lost his footing.
He turned around abruptly and saw a golden list that everyone could see in the void inexplicably appear.
boom!
Inside and outside the courtyard, the spiritual energy between the mountains seemed to be gathered together, the air currents swirling, and the power was immense.
Many disciples who were practicing supernatural powers and martial arts were startled.
"Huh? The list of successful candidates has appeared?"
"If it were just a change of power, the Golden Ranking wouldn't have such a big commotion. Could it be that another genius from a holy land has gained power and soared to the top?"
...
When the Xuanhuang Golden List moves, the whole world is in turmoil.
Most reputable sects will draw upon the power of the Xuanhuang Golden Ranking itself to create a sub-ranking within their own sect, in order to motivate their disciples.
This is also a major way for sects to gain fame.
The more powerful and influential a sect is, the deeper its foundation.
The fact that a sect has the most outstanding talents on the list is a testament to its promising future and a means for its talents to gain fame.
If you rank highly, you will also receive the blessing of good fortune.
Therefore, almost no one would refuse to be on this golden list.
"This is the Mysterious Golden Ranking?"
Amidst the crowd, Wan Qiankun looked up and saw the golden list, like a sky-like canopy, with a dazzling golden light soaring upwards.
Having come from the Great Xuan, he had only heard of the existence of the Xuan Golden Ranking, but had never seen it.
Unexpectedly, I have already seen the legendary Golden List upon arriving at this Heavenly Sect.
"Who is this person? How did their ranking improve so much?"
"Wow, the true disciples of Lingxu Mountain have been squeezed out of the top 100 in an instant."
"Don't even mention it, even Yang Xu, the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land, has been squeezed out."
The golden light continued to rise.
Screams of alarm continued to erupt.
Not to mention the newly initiated disciples like Wan Qiankun, even the veteran disciples were in an uproar.
The gasps stopped abruptly when someone appeared.
Because, in front of that grand hall, a figure in black stepped out from the void.
He carried a dragon tooth saber on his back, was handsome and had a restrained aura, but the domineering aura emanating from him could not be concealed.
He was none other than Gu Li, the head of the four true disciples of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect, who was said to be just one step away from becoming a Martial God.
He ranked tenth on the Xuanhuang Gold List - Martial Saint List.
But that golden light struck it straight down, then soared upwards...
[The newly ascended Martial Saint, Huang, has entered the Martial Saint Golden List, ranking fifth.]
"shortage?"
Looking at the unfamiliar words that were finally displayed, not only the new disciples like Wan Qiankun, but even people like Lin Bei and Gu Li felt incredulous.
The Martial Saint Golden List encompasses everyone in the world, not just those in their 20s or 30s. Even those centuries-old relics will be included.
To break into the top ten on one's very first nomination is something that... can only be described as unheard of and extremely rare.
Not to mention that it's only fifth place.
Everyone present knew exactly what this meant.
"Fifth on the list of successful candidates..."
Upon seeing the unfamiliar name ranked fifth, Wan Qiankun was startled and began to feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).
If they had stayed in that remote corner of the Great Xuan, how would they have known that such a monstrous talent existed in this world!
He naturally wanted to be on the gold list as well.
Unfortunately... his stay was too short.
If one had entered the Heavenly Sect earlier and cultivated for a period of time, one might have been able to enter the top 100, which would have been extremely good.
In the future, he will have the opportunity to become an elder of the Heavenly Sect, and upon returning to the Great Xuan, he will be a supreme being.
"Eastern Region, Desolate Continent, Third-Rank Martial Saint, Eternal-Level Talent!"
Lin Bei broke the silence with his voice, looking at Gu Li in the sky and shaking his head slightly.
The list of successful candidates considers both ability and qualifications.
They prefer a future Great Emperor to a mere First-Rank Martial Saint.
Aptitude includes innate qualities such as comprehension, physique, physical constitution, and bloodline.
They were divided into the "giant" level and the "ordinary" level.
The ranks of geniuses are divided into four levels: outstanding individuals, peerless talents, prodigies, and eternal geniuses.
Those who make it onto the gold list are at least exceptional talents.
Wan Qiankun, for example, was rated as an outstanding individual, which is quite good talent. However, he was very close to being a peerless genius, but his physical attributes and bloodline lowered his rating.
However, one's physical constitution and bloodline can be improved relatively easily through acquired means.
In the holy land, there are quite a few methods for cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the bones.
Physical constitution, comprehension, or innate talent like divine eyes are very difficult to improve later in life.
Gu Li possesses monstrous talent and is the only monstrous genius in the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect.
"Wilderness, wilderness...from the Wasteland?"
Countless eyes turned to Gu Li in the void, while he just kept muttering this completely unfamiliar name.
"A third-grade Martial Saint can break into the top ten. This person's Eternal-level rating is still too low. There have been other Eternal-level talents before, but none of them made it into the top ten without being listed..."
He's probably not far from possessing the legendary forbidden-level talent.
...
The earth shook and the sky trembled.
The changes in the Xuanhuang Golden Ranking spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm almost instantly.
The five regions, and even the endless seas, have taken notice.
"A desolate continent?"
In the deep sea abyss, a dark figure opened its eyes and muttered to itself.
His gaze was incredibly deep, as if he could see through the endless ocean, and traverse holy sites and great religions...
It landed in the desolate continent of Daxuan...
"Can't you see through it?"
...
The changes in the Xuanhuang Golden Ranking spread throughout the world in an instant, but the most shocked were naturally the various forces in the Desolate Continent.
Among them, the Primordial Divine Dynasty, the only holy land-level power located here, naturally made the biggest moves.
It rules over all the kingdoms of the desolate continent, and its strength is incomparably formidable.
The primordial divine city is protected by ninety-nine restrictions, and an unparalleled killing array covers the entire city.
Even a martial god wouldn't dare cause trouble here.
"When did my desolate continent produce such a monstrous talent?"
The Primordial Heavenly King, seated on his dragon throne, frowned and said:
"My esteemed ministers, do you have any leads?"
The dozens of people in the hall were all speechless.
You look at me, I look at you.
Finally, he looked at the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, Xuanjizi.
"this……"
Xuanjizi's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly.
"Raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one day... What, you can't even do something this simple?"
The Primordial Heavenly King was slightly angered.
Startled, Xuanjizi immediately knelt down and said:
"This peerless genius is protected by fortune, and... and it seems that he has a powerful figure covering for him. Even I cannot do that."
"Fine, I knew you people were unreliable... But since this eternal genius has appeared in my Primordial Divine Dynasty, we must make him work for us."
"Xuanjizi, I don't care what methods you devise, if this boy leaves my Desolate Continent and joins another force, I will hold you accountable!"
The Primordial Heavenly King's tone was calm, but incredibly resolute.
A peerless genius of all ages, possessing the bearing of an emperor.
Since it comes from the desolate continent, it cannot be given to other forces.
As for whether there is a powerful figure behind this prodigy, we'll see later.
Even the powerful martial god Xuanjizi was too frightened to breathe loudly and could only obey the order.
"yes!"
But he was filled with regret.
I foresaw this day was an ominous day, so I came to the Heavenly King's side, hoping to borrow the King's fortune to avoid this calamity.
Unexpected.
They still fell for the trap.
