Chapter 1792: Chapter 225: The King’s Actions
What is the greatest difference between high rank and lower rank?
Is it the abundance of resources, the strength of power, the depth of wisdom, or rely a different perspective on things?
The reality that determines your ultimate trajectory has never been the external conditions. This is the key reason why people with the sa background and resources can achieve vastly different outcos.
While the entire Longzhou was imrsed in the ecstasy of a new king erging, sects did not stop speculating about the identity of this new king, even for a mont.
Human kings in the world are indeed few. Even if their nas are unfamiliar to most prominent clans, on certain levels, they are as thunderous as the heavens themselves.
Once, Dutian Heavenly King organized a list known as the Heavenly List, recording the nas and origins of all the supre figures in Xiehe.
To ascend this list, not only does one need extraordinary talent and achievents but, more importantly, the potential within the King Realm.
After all, Cao Jinyu is recognized throughout Xiehe for his discerning eye. Those warriors he deed worthy often went on to achieve greatness, coupled with the pervasive intelligence network of Dutian Heavenly King, making this Heavenly List of Xiehe’s elites highly credible.
But what most people don’t know is that the Heavenly List is divided into Yin and Yang volus. What sects can browse, mostly, is the Yang volu—those powerful figures whose bloodline abilities have already been unveiled.
The other volu, however, records individuals without bloodlines but who have the potential to attain enlightennt and be crowned as kings.
Yet the individuals in this volu are too uncertain, so much so that even intelligence organizations like Dutian Heavenly King’s find it impossible to confirm their prospects. Thus, few people are aware of it.
Even so, Dutian Heavenly King’s two-volu Heavenly List remains the most comprehensive compilation of Xiehe’s elites.
No matter how sects scrutinized the list, flipping through individuals from twenty, even thirty years ago and comparing them one by one, none could trace the lineage of this new king of Red Cloud.
As for Longzhou’s folk casually attributing the new king of Red Cloud to the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, they scoffed at such a claim.
Be it the swordsn of the Xu Clan or those eccentric beings who unleash their bloodline powers to their highest limits, every one of them is so conceited they might as well have their noses pointed at the sky.
The phrases they say most often are usually: ‘I have cultivated the unrivaled divine arts of this world, and who knows when I’ll find a worthy successor.’
Or: ‘The world is filled with fools, failing to comprehend my supre sword techniques—all a bunch of good-for-nothings.’
Who would have thought that those Xu Clan warriors, who built their reputation on the Unmatched Sword Canon, would ultimately walk down such a solitary path?
Teaching a particular sword intent might be within their capabilities, but cultivating foundational essence or guiding ordinary disciples to condense their souls? That is certainly not sothing Xu Clan warriors would do—much less so if they were kings!
But if viewed from this perspective, the origins of this king of Red Cloud Mountain beco exceedingly intriguing.
Xiehe has its fair share of wandering masters and several renowned grandmasters, but when it cos to unknown or hidden kings, their numbers aren’t particularly large.
Among them, the most famous are the naless saint who once slew Cao Jinyu at Yinghuo, and the King of the Blood Sea from the Ancient Blood Tower who vanished without a trace.
But when compared to Unparalleled City’s warrior and the energy he showcased during the Red Cloud Mountain affair, the disparity between him and these two figures is far too significant.
To wipe away tens of thousands of soul marks within dozens of miles in an instant—that level of mastery over marking techniques has only been seen on the Buddha Lord and Great Zen Masters of Buddha’s Country. Otherwise, examples are scarce.
People are always curious about newly erging phenona, especially those who long proclaid themselves to master most of Xiehe’s intelligence—such as Zhongzhou’s superior Heavenly Sect.
Dozens of envoys, bearing their missions and preparing gifts, are en route to Red Cloud. Their purpose is singular.
Just like how the fastest way for lower-ranked martial artists to gain fa is through thunderous battles, masters and Human Kings must garner acclaim across all Xiehe once they ascend to the peak of cultivation. Their goal is simple: to acquire resources.
After all, upon reaching the King Realm, many of the required resources are rare treasures, mostly monopolized by heavenly sects and sanctuaries.
When faced with need, one must find ways to obtain such resources—even if, for sects and sanctuaries, making life difficult for a king over a few resources is unnecessary.
But simply handing over resources? Even the most resource-laden sects and sanctuaries would never willingly act so generously.
Thus, a more civilized thod was born!
“Teaching the way?”
Among the clouds, Yun Xiu covered her small mouth in disbelief: “Husband is going to the dicine God Sect to teach the way?!”
“Not only must I teach, but I must teach so well that disciples all across the dicine God Sect are utterly convinced and srized.”
Tang Luo responded with a laugh.
“Is that the exchange condition the dicine God Sect won’t refuse?”
Though Yun Xiu did not grasp much about sect operations, from the perspective of trade, she still found the idea sowhat inadequate: “That sounds a bit insufficient.”
“Of course it’s insufficient. Teaching the way is rely the formal gesture of visiting the dicine God Sect.”
Tang Luo placed his hands on his hips and exclaid, “If I can’t challenge them directly, I’ll need to demonstrate my strength in other ways. Otherwise, how would the dicine God Sect understand your husband’s grandeur?”
“Husband is amazing!”
Her brows arched into crescents, and she smiled sweetly as she praised him.
“As expected!”
…
Undying World, dicine God Sect
In the dicine King Hall atop Suspending Pot Peak, elders of the seventy-two peaks were gathered for a current research eting of the sect. anwhile, another far fiercer dialogue unfolded in the lower peaks.
Martial arts have never been the pursuit of the dicine God Sect, making it one of the sects with the fewest masters among Zhongzhou’s superior Heavenly Sects.
But “few” is relative—depending on whom they are compared with. If asured against Zhongzhou’s superior Heavenly Sect, dicine God Sect’s combat prowess may indeed seem insufficient.
However, broaden the scope to all of Xiehe, and few sects dare to claim the dicine God Sect’s strength is lacking.
Though strength isn’t entirely built upon resources, with sufficient resources, even those with common bloodline abilities can achieve extraordinary feats.
Bloodlines like Wood Spirit Body, Fire Spirit Body, and Poison Spirit Body—if sufficiently cultivated—can yield formidable power.
Of the seventy-two peaks of the dicine God Sect, it may be an exaggeration to claim each peak could produce a grandmaster, but saying half of them could is no boast.
Currently, more than twenty non-reclusive grandmasters have gathered to scrutinize intelligence procured from Dutian Heavenly King’s network.
