"The rest are not to be feared."
"However, the intelligence report indicates,"
"Many unparalleled martial arts masters still live in seclusion in this place."
"They were all once famous."
"I humbly request Your Majesty to grant me more time."
After speaking, he lowered his head and held his breath.
A reclusive master?
Ying Zheng frowned and pondered.
Hearing the second half of the sentence.
He glanced at him with a slightly sharp look and let out a cold snort.
"Quickly investigate and find out the background of these people."
"How to proceed should be self-evident, shouldn't I?"
I sensed the oppressive feeling that permeated the surroundings.
Zhao Gao's back stiffened.
Its head bobbed incessantly, like a pecking motion.
"Your Majesty is wise; your humble servant will certainly do his utmost!"
"I hope so," Ying Zheng replied calmly.
..........
Inside the Phoenix Pavilion in the Great Tang Dynasty.
"Meng Chixing? That's an interesting anecdote."
"I wonder where that eminent monk ranks?"
Gazing at the golden list suspended in the sky.
Wu Zetian gently shook her head, her fingertips casually tapping the gilded armrest.
Although it was the last of the three great dynasties.
However, the records concerning Meng Chixing were already archived in the Tang Dynasty's secret archives.
Upon seeing this ranking, the Empress's eyes remained unmoved.
On the contrary, they were more interested in the dragon-elephant monk who appeared in Dali.
After the Fountain of Youth subsided.
She then ordered a thorough investigation into the monk's background.
It seems that Emperor Yuan made prior arrangements.
No matter how the guards searched.
They all vanished without a trace, like clay oxen sinking into the sea.
The only thing that can be confirmed is—
This monk must be a hidden master of the Yuan Dynasty!
"There is a strange matter... I don't know whether I should tell you..."
Yuan Tiangang, standing beside him, stroked his beard and pondered.
"Oh? Is there something that makes the Imperial Preceptor hesitate? Speak frankly."
Wu Zetian raised the corner of her eye slightly, revealing a hint of inquiry.
The fingertip rested on the jade thumb ring.
That dragon-elephant monk... is quite strange!
"When we met that day, I used a secret technique to deduce the answer."
"What I gained was nothingness!"
"It's as if...as if this person never existed!"
"Or perhaps... he has already departed for the underworld!"
Yuan Tiangang made a hand seal and pondered for a long time.
Finally, he revealed this strange experience.

"Such an unusual phenomenon?"
A glint flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and her tone suddenly turned serious.
The depth of Yuan Tiangang's divination skills.
She knows better than anyone.
A panoramic view of the entire land.
Those who can rival him are few and far between.
And such extraordinary abilities.
They couldn't even fathom the mystery of a monk's fate.
This surprised her quite a bit.
Previously, only Ximen Yu of the Azure Dragon Society had managed to make Yuan Tiangang return empty-handed.
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian's expression became even more solemn.
After a moment's hesitation, she asked:
"If we work together with Yuan Gongfeng to deduce the results, can we be confident?"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head with a wry smile.
He had considered joining forces with his uncle, but he knew in his heart that even with the help of ten more experts, it would still be in vain.
The deduction was not blocked, but rather resulted in nothing.
If there is fog obscuring the truth, it can be dispelled with the help of others to find the truth.
However, if it is blank, no matter how much you calculate, you will ultimately get nowhere.
"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Wu Zetian's gaze turned serious as she asked the question again.
Although she gained something from this matter, it also showed that the Yuan Dynasty's foundation was unfathomable, which made her wary.
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"I've heard that Tantric Buddhism has the concept of reincarnation, which may be related to this, but there is no concrete evidence yet."
"In addition, we can wait for the Heavenly Dao Golden List to be announced—with his strength, he will surely be able to make the list."
The concept of reincarnation has been passed down since ancient times, but he had never witnessed it firsthand, so he could not discern its truth or falsehood.
He couldn't think of any other possibility besides this guess.
Wu Zetian nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Then we should verify it first, rather than waiting for the results."
Time is of the essence; rather than waiting idly, we should take a two-pronged approach.
We will inevitably clash with the Yuan Dynasty sooner or later. The sooner we find out the truth, the sooner we can make preparations.
At that time, at least a lot of unnecessary losses can be saved.
Yuan Tiangang nodded in deep agreement.
The headquarters of the World Society is located in Yunzhou.
"The Nine Provinces Dynasty's foundation is truly astonishing?"
Xiong Ba stared at the information on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, his brows furrowed.
Although those in the Celestial Realm were nothing more than ants in his eyes,
But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the dynasty's profound heritage.
Who knows if there is an unparalleled mythical realm hidden behind it?
Although Yunzhou's overall strength is slightly superior,
But regarding the top experts...
You might not gain much advantage.
Yunzhou is only one prefecture.
The original Kyushu encompassed the territory of eight provinces.
Whether in terms of land area or population size,
They are all dozens or even hundreds of times greater than those in Yunzhou!
The number of masters that this fostered is unimaginable.
Xiong Ba's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"To unify the world and claim supremacy over the nine provinces, there will still be some twists and turns to come..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes blazing.
An inn somewhere in the Song Dynasty.
"Master, are there many masters in Kyushu?"
Jian Chen looked around in confusion.
Why do they seem so indifferent?
"Even a hint of contempt?"
He pointed to the martial artists in the inn.
"The land of Kyushu is vast, far exceeding that of Yunzhou."
"The population base is naturally much larger."
Wuming glanced at the crowd indifferently.
Explain in a calm tone:
Even a genius who is one in a billion,
"It can also give rise to countless powerful individuals."
"Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the longer one's lifespan."
"Just think about how many reclusive masters there must be."
Jian Chen suddenly realized and grinned:
"Who cares how many experts they have?"
"With Master's strength, he will surely be ranked at the top!"
A look of pride involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Throughout the land of Kyushu, countless masters abound; never underestimate the heroes of the world."
Wuming shook his head slightly, his tone calm.
I felt completely unmoved by being at the top of the list.

"How dare a mere ant ascend to the Heavenly Ranking?"
