Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Hidden Dragon List_1

No... that’s not right...

Soon, Qin Wudao discovered it wasn’t the sun growing brighter; rather, a Stele had suddenly materialized in the sky above the East Ancient Domain. The Stele had ten names carved into it, emitting a dazzling radiance brighter than the scorching sun.

At the top of the Stele were three uncolored, large characters: Hidden Dragon List!

Beneath it, his name ranked first, radiating a seven-colored light, appearing incomparably noble.

As Qin Wudao continued to examine it, a surge of information suddenly entered his mind, transforming into countless golden profound characters that detailed the functions of this Stele.

"The Path to Immortality opens, Prodigies compete, Prove the Dao for Eternity!"

Once Qin Wudao fully absorbed this information, a look of shock appeared on his face.

From these inherited memories, he learned that this Stele was condensed from the Fortune of the Dao Domain and recorded the top ten Prodigies of the Dao Domain.

These ten Prodigies all carried the Fortune of the Dao Domain!

By defeating a Prodigy, one could plunder their Fortune, causing them to lose the qualification to Prove the Dao and become an Immortal!

When only one thousand Prodigies remained, the three thousand Hidden Dragon Lists would merge into the Immortal List, initiating a new round of competition until a Prodigy opened the Heavenly Gate.

The ranking on the Immortal List would depend on the Fortune a Prodigy carried. The more Fortune one possessed, the higher their rank, and thus the greater their chance of opening the Heavenly Gate.

Such brutal competition!

Qin Wudao drew a sharp breath. The Primeval Continent teemed with countless lives. The East Ancient Domain alone had billions of inhabitants, and its area and strength ranked only in the lower-middle tier among the three thousand Dao Domains.

With so many lives vying for a mere thousand spots, the competition was bound to be unimaginably fierce.

The entire continent was likely on the verge of being engulfed in turmoil once more!

But that’s fine too. Wouldn’t it be exhilarating to battle the heroes of the world?

Qin Wudao thought fervently, brimming with boundless enthusiasm. A fervent battle intent ignited in his eyes. He possessed the top-ranked Chaos Divine Body and was aided by the system; he believed himself inferior to no one and destined to stand at the world’s pinnacle.

He wanted to test the strength of Immortals: if they could ascend to the Nine Heavens to grasp the moon, if they could attain eternal life by Proving the Dao, if they could transcend heaven and earth!

The Immortal Realm! It was the highest realm recorded on the Primeval Continent. Those in it controlled life and death, manipulated Reincarnation, were beyond the Five Elements, transcended the Heavenly Dao, and were untouched by karma. However, from the Immemorial Times to the present, no one had ever truly reached it.

Historical records showed that the strongest Martial Artists on the continent had only ever reached the peak of the Great Emperor Realm.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Heaven and earth trembled. Three thousand golden radiances soared into the sky, converging above the Nine Heavens to form the character ’Immortal’!

At this moment, countless slumbering Great Emperors and Supremes awoke. The inadvertently released pressure of these Great Emperors, revealing overwhelming Rhymes of Dao, disordered time and space.

"After countless years of slumber, this Seat has finally awaited the opening of the Path to Immortality..."

In the southern part of the continent, within an endless range of desolate mountains, a resonant voice echoed, causing heaven and earth to change color and the sun and moon to lose their light.

The mountain began to tremble, and dust billowed everywhere.

A ruggedly-featured giant, several zhang tall, pushed open a long-sealed coffin. An Emperor’s might permeated the air, and all living beings within a ten-thousand-li radius prostrated themselves in fearful submission.

He flew to the mountain peak, his Great Emperor Realm peak strength erupting fully. A profound light appeared behind him, entwined with countless Rhymes of Dao. With supreme power, he tore open the Void, connected to the newly revealed Path to Immortality, and prepared to Prove the Dao with his own body.

CRACK!

The sky turned dark!

Countless dark clouds drifted from afar and converged. Myriad lightning bolts streaked through the cloud layers, revealing the power of Divine Punishment. The Void itself could not bear it, collapsing and shattering.

Above the thunderclouds, amidst floating, opalescent mist, a Heavenly Gate appeared, captivating all who gazed upon it.

"The Path to Immortality! This Path belongs to this Seat..."

The giant looked at the sky, his expression brimming with excitement. Carrying a terrifying aura, he flew towards the Heavenly Gate.

"Defiers of Heaven shall be annihilated!"

Just then, from the roiling clouds, a Divine Punishment descended. A purple lightning dragon tore through the Void, roaring continuously as it carried an indescribable power to strike the giant.

BOOM!

In an instant, this Old Monster, a peak Great Emperor who had slumbered for countless epochs and once dominated an era, seemed cursed as his Emperor’s Body began to decay.

"No... This Seat does not want to perish! This Seat wants to become an Immortal..."

The giant’s expression changed drastically in fear. He desperately circulated the Spiritual Energy within his body, Rhymes of Dao bursting forth, shattering the surrounding heavens and earth in an attempt to halt the power of the heavenly tribulation. Alas, it was futile. After persisting for mere minutes, his Emperor’s Body exploded, turning into fine powder.

A Great Emperor who had dominated the world for tens of thousands of years thus perished.

He became the first Great Emperor to fall on the Path to Immortality.

What a pity!

The Path to Immortality isn’t open for us Old Monsters; only the young Prodigies of this era have a chance to ascend!

From now on, we must cultivate the younger generation of Prodigies. As long as one of them can push open the Heavenly Gate, we still have a chance...

In the hidden Void, many awakened Old Monsters, having witnessed the fall of the giant Great Emperor, abandoned their intentions to challenge the Heavenly Gate.

They all knew: the era had changed!

...

With the appearance of immortal traces, a turbulent era begins. A paradise for Prodigies, a hell for mortals. The Qin Empire has just unified the East Ancient Domain and now faces an even greater crisis...

In the Imperial Capital, Emperor Qin walked to a window. He gazed into the vast sky, glanced at the character ’Immortal’, then at the ’Hidden Dragon List’, and finally, his gaze settled on Qin Wudao’s name, lost in deep thought.

Traces of Immortals appear in a prosperous age; this is the era of the young. The opportunity for all factions to develop, and their very survival in these chaotic times, hinges on whether the Prodigies they nurture can become invincible under heaven.

If the youth are strong, their factions will be strong! If the youth rule as kings, their factions will rule as kings! If the youth are invincible under heaven, their factions will be invincible under heaven!

...

The great struggle of this era is coming. I must also speed up my cultivation!

The Emperor’s might pervading the Void made Qin Wudao feel immense pressure. Although he had the system’s aid, many Prodigies from ancient factions also had Great Emperor experts backing them.

His sole advantage would be infinitely diminished.

After all, Prodigies from Holy Lands lacked neither resources, nor Cultivation Techniques, nor the guidance of powerful experts.

"Your Highness, Fortune is the key to the Path to Immortality. We must obtain more Fortune to seize the initiative!" Jia Xu stepped forward and advised in a low voice, his eyes glinting.

Qin Wudao nodded, looking at the other nine names on the Hidden Dragon List, deep in thought.

These nine individuals were Wu Ming, Qin Xiaolong, Wang Lingling, Zhang Han, Li Tiantai, Qin Zhangu, Gan Zhen Nan, Qin Suming, and Peng Shizhuang!

Among the ten Prodigies, the Qin Imperial Family accounted for four!

This showed the might of the Qin Family.

Let’s start with you then!

Qin Wudao’s eyes narrowed, a dense battle intent surfacing within them. With the Hidden Dragon List published, the Prodigies of the various Dao Domains would inevitably clash sooner or later.

Even if he did not challenge the Prodigies of the East Ancient Domain, those from other Dao Domains would come to challenge him.

It’s a matter of ’better them than me.’

Rather than letting outsiders benefit, it’s better to benefit myself.

Contend!

That single word encapsulated the entire path of cultivation.

The struggles of Martial Artists had always been matters of life and death. He might not deliver a killing blow when challenging the Prodigies of the East Ancient Domain, but if Prodigies from other Dao Domains came to challenge him, they certainly wouldn’t show any mercy.
