Chapter 442: Chapter 443: The Three Major Lists of Martial Artists

"Father is still alive..." the North King said with a smile, as his own figure began to rapidly dissipate.

Still alive!

That’s wonderful!

Ye Wudao was incomparably excited, finding this news more exhilarating than anything else!

"Then Dad, tell me, where exactly are you now? I’ll come to find you!" Ye Wudao implored with immense longing.

"I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that..." the North King’s face began to blur.

"Why, why?" Ye Wudao’s face was a picture of bewilderment, his neck veins bulging in frustration!

"It’s to protect you!" The North King’s face began to fade, and at last, only a faint voice remained; "Son, remember, your father and mother will always love you!"

Ultimately, the North King’s Divine Sense completely vanished!

"No, no, don’t go!" Ye Wudao shouted, collapsing to the ground in a near-breakdown, tears in his eyes.

Ye Wudao quickly recovered.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "No matter what, Dad is still alive. That’s the best news! I must also live well!"

After the North King’s sacred casket was opened, Ye Wudao finally breathed in the long-missed fresh air!

"It’s the Young North King!"

"The master is still alive!" Zhan Chi and the others, seeing Ye Wudao emerge from the casket, were thrilled beyond words.

"Junior brother, are you alright?" Wenren Xingzhu asked with concern.

"I’m fine," Ye Wudao said with a faint smile, "I’ve been in this casket for so many days, thank you all for staying by my side."

So many days?

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Zhan Chi and the others exchanged glances before saying in unison, "Hasn’t it been less than a day?"

What?

Just one day!!

Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it; he felt as though more than ten days had passed, even growing a stubble on his face.

Could it be!

This sacred casket of the North King possesses the miraculous effect of slowing down time!

Holy crap!

This casket that Dad left is simply a Divine Artifact for cultivation!

Ye Wudao was thrilled, bending down to hoist the casket onto his shoulder.

"Young North King, what are you doing?" Zhan Chi asked, puzzled.

"Master, please set down the North King’s casket immediately. This is a great disrespect to the old master!" the loyal servant urged anxiously.

"From now on, except for eating and sleeping, I’ll stay in this casket!" Ye Wudao declared earnestly.

What?!

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Zhan Chi and the others exclaimed in unison, "He’s gone mad!"

...

When Ye Wudao and his group left the Tomb of the North King, the events that transpired there shocked the world!

"Have you heard? Not one of the experts who entered the Tomb of the North King came out alive!"

"You’re behind the times. I heard that it was the North King who killed them, even his son Ye Wudao was slain!"

"Ssh, terrifying..."

The whole world was talking about this news!

And the very instigator of it all, Ye Wudao, was staying in the North Cold, doing exactly as he said: spending all his time in that casket, except for when eating or sleeping.

What made Zhan Chi and the others curious was that something odd had recently happened in the North King’s palace!

It was that Sword Mad and Liu Kuangsheng had been acting mysteriously of late, their cultivation levels changing almost daily!

These two had quickly broken through to the Ninth Grade Martial Spirit level, standing at par with themselves!

And that wasn’t all, even Lei Hu, Xiong Fei, and a bunch of the younger generation had all broken through to the Fifth Grade Martial Spirit level!

This left Zhan Chi completely baffled!

North King’s palace grounds.

In a top-secret room.

Ye Wudao and his group were gathered beside the North King’s sarcophagus.

Right at this moment, a head popped out from the sarcophagus—it was Qian Lei, with his sleazy face.

"Haha, I never imagined that in this lifetime, I, Qian Lei, would actually break through to the Martial Spirit level!" Qian Lei was thrilled.

"Don’t get cocky, Qian Lei, you’re just basking in the North King and the young master’s glory!"

"Exactly, you fool, you’ve been left far behind by others!"

"Lei Hu and the others have already broken through to the Ninth Grade Martial Spirit level, and you’ve only just reached the Martial Spirit level!" Dao Kuang mocked.

"Cough cough, my talent is limited, eh!" Qian Lei said with an embarrassed smile.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

"Young North King, something big has happened!" Liu Kuangsheng came over with a tense look on his face.

"What’s wrong, Uncle Liu?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"The royal family’s Holy Maiden—Su Yueli has finished her seclusion!" Liu Kuangsheng said.

Boom!

Upon hearing this news, Ye Wudao’s face lit up with excitement. "Really?"

"Hmm, absolutely true! The royal family themselves announced it!" Liu Kuangsheng said, pausing momentarily before adding hesitantly, "It’s just that..."

"What ’it’s just that’..." Ye Wudao asked.

"The royal family, the royal family has proclaimed to the world that they want to select a suitable suitor for the Holy Maiden," Liu Kuangsheng said.

What?

When Ye Wudao heard this news, he felt as if struck by lightning!

"Damn the royal family, how dare they?" Ye Wudao clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with a murderous rage!

"Damn it, let’s all go together and fight a big battle with the royal family!" Qian Lei said angrily.

"Give it up, Qian Lei, with your cultivation level, the royal family could stomp you to death with one foot!" Dao Kuang said, looking at Ye Wudao and speaking, "Young master, our North King’s hall has just recovered its vitality; now is not the time to wage war on the royal family!"

"I know," Ye Wudao nodded.

Although the strength of the North King’s hall had surged recently, with Uncle Liu, Dao Kuang, and others all breaking through to the Ninth Grade Martial Spirit level!

But the opponent was, after all, the royal family!

Especially that inscrutable Elder Council, with any one of them walking out being a top Martial Spirit level practitioner!

There were definitely Warrior King level powerhouses sitting in the royal family!

And there were no few in number!

"Young master, this is actually good news!" Liu Kuangsheng said with a smile; "The outside world believes that you and everyone who entered the Tomb of the North King are dead! You might as well change your appearance, and attend the selection of the holy maiden’s suitor under a disguise! This could be your best chance to take away the Holy Maiden!" Liu Kuangsheng suggested.

Right!

Ye Wudao’s eyes suddenly brightened!

This is a great idea!

"I’ve heard that this royal family Holy Maiden’s marriage recruitment has shaken the world, not only in scale but also in prestige, and it is not a bit smaller than that event at the Tomb of the North King!"

"Yeah, it’s said that all the young talents of Dragon Country are going there! All of them are eager and rubbing their hands, each wanting to win the beauty over!"

"One of Dragon Country’s three major warrior rankings, ’The Qianlong List,’ even the incomparable geniuses ranked in the top ten have set out!"

"I also heard that even the people from ’The Flying Dragon List’ have come out of seclusion!" people discussed.

Ye Wudao curiously asked, "Wait, what are the three major warrior rankings of Dragon Country you’re talking about, including ’The Qianlong List’ and ’The Flying Dragon List’?"

"Young master, you may not know! Dragon Country has three major warrior rankings, issued by the Six Lords of Dragon Country, representing the most authoritative recognition, something that warriors all over the world dream of entering. They are ’The Qianlong List,’\ \’The Flying Dragon List,’ and the legendary, strongest ’The True Dragon List’!"

"’The Qianlong List’ includes Martial Spirit level and below martial artists, regardless of age. It is said that even the minimum qualification to enter is at least Ninth Grade Martial Spirit level, with extremely stringent conditions!" Liu Kuangsheng explained.

"That impressive?" Ye Wudao was taken aback and asked, "What about ’The Flying Dragon List’?"

"’The Flying Dragon List’ is even more incredible. Only those qualified to be assessed are Warrior King level powerhouses. Being on ’The Flying Dragon List’ means you are a true big shot!" Liu Kuangsheng said, his eyes filled with reverence.

"And what about ’The True Dragon List’?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Hiss," Liu Kuangsheng drew in a breath of cold air, speaking solemnly, "Young master, ’The True Dragon List’ is something else entirely! It’s said that the warriors on ’The True Dragon List’ are elusive as dragons, all standing at the apex of martial arts! Even the royal family treats those on ’The True Dragon List’ with the utmost respect!"

"Young master, you are on ’The Qianlong List’ too!" Liu Kuangsheng said.

"Am I?" Ye Wudao narrowed his eyes; "What rank am I?"
