The Heavenly Ranking suddenly rippled.
It radiated a dazzling golden light.
This attracted the attention of all living beings in the land.
As the brilliance gradually fades.
Lines of gilded text slowly appeared.
[Ranked on the list of the strongest people in the Nine Provinces - (tied) Thirty-seventh...]
153 - The Envy and Resentment of All Living Beings in Kyushu!
[The Nine Provinces' Strongest Ranking - (tied) Thirty-seventh seat: Third Pig Emperor, Realm: Perfected Celestial Realm.]
[Origin: A carefree traveler from Yunzhou.]
The Third Pig King is a master of swordsmanship in Yunzhou.
His exceptional talent and comprehension are unparalleled in the entire martial arts world of Yunzhou!
The reason it earned the title of "Third" actually stems from its temperament.
[Born a glutton, he has become obese over the years, and is also habitually lazy. He particularly enjoys joking with beautiful women and has no real pursuit of the art of the sword.]
Therefore, he only achieved third place.
[However, this also reveals that even someone who only occasionally dabbles in swordsmanship can rank among the top three; their extraordinary talent is truly admirable!]
If one can abandon their hobbies and devote themselves to mastering the sword, even comprehending the realm of the Heavenly Sword will not be difficult.
Alas, how can one have it all in this world?
[Heaven's Commentary: Free and unrestrained, a mythical future is within reach.]
[Heavenly Reward: Mythical Breakthrough Pill (Increases the probability of advancing to the Mythical Realm by 80% after consumption)]
..........
[The Nine Provinces' Strongest Ranking - (tied) Thirty-seventh seat: Guiguzi, Realm: Perfected Celestial Realm.]
[Origin: Founder of the Qin Dynasty's School of Diplomacy.]
[As the only survivor of Ximen Yu's sword.]
His fate was a mixture of joy and sorrow.
[Fortunately, Heaven bestowed upon me a pill of rebirth and transformation.]
[Not only was his cultivation fully restored, but it also reached a higher level, bringing him to within half a step of the Mythical Realm!]
However, fortune may be fraught with misfortune.
[Because he was listed on the honor roll.]
Even though his skills had greatly improved, he still dared not show himself in public, for fear that Ximen Yu would come seeking revenge.
Even after breaking through to the peak of the Celestial Realm, he was still haunted by his obsession with Ximen Yu.
If this inner demon cannot be severed, one will never be able to reach the realm of supreme mythology.
Heaven's Commentary: It rose because of Ximen Yu, and it also stopped because of Ximen Yu.
Heaven bestows: Bodhi Heart-Cleansing Pill (can aid against inner demons)
As the last line of the Heavenly Path Golden List disappeared, the land of Kyushu fell silent.
After a long while, the people gradually came to their senses.
The inclusion of Guiguzi on the list has led many to question the legitimacy of this enigmatic founder of the School of Diplomacy.
The appearance of the third-ranked "Pig King" on the list has attracted countless envious and resentful reactions.
Such exceptional talent wasted on pleasure; it's a terrible waste!
What's so special about gourmet food? And what does beauty matter?
If one can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, wouldn't all of these be within easy reach?
Of course, some people hold different opinions.
Although the number of people is small, they still occupy a place.
For a time, discussions arose throughout Kyushu.
Da Qin, Xianyang Palace.
"Guiguzi, what a disappointment!"
"I once thought he was someone important, but now it seems he's nothing special!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the list of successful candidates, snorted coldly, and spoke with utter contempt.
The founder of a prestigious sect is so cowardly; he has disgraced the name of the Great Qin!
"Your Majesty, the Third Pig Emperor is a rogue cultivator with extraordinary talent. If we can recruit him, he will surely be of service to our Great Qin."
Zhao Gao bowed slightly and spoke in a low voice.
Even if his hobbies remain unchanged, he is still a peak Celestial Realm expert, a rare talent among the various lords.
If we can bring them under our command, they will be a great help in our future struggle for supremacy!
"This matter is entirely in your hands."
"Furthermore, you must find the whereabouts of the first and second, and by any means necessary, recruit them into the Great Qin for me!"
"If he refuses, we must not allow him to side with other forces!"
"You can decide the specifics yourself."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then gave the order.
As he spoke the last sentence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The deeper meaning is self-evident.
"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in your trust!"
Zhao Gao's spirits lifted, and he loudly accepted the order.
..........
Dayuan, Imperial Court.
"The Third Pig King?"
"So, there are two other experts whose strength is at least equal to his?"
"It seems Yunzhou is about to get interesting."
Temujin gazed at the Heavenly List and murmured to himself.
A slight smile played on his lips, followed by a deep, resonant voice:
"Your subordinate is here, please give your orders, Khan!"
Three figures immediately appeared inside the hall.
"Immediately dispatch messengers to Yunzhou to find the First Sword Emperor, the Second Sword Emperor, and the Third Pig Emperor."
"Make every effort to recruit them into the Yuan Dynasty."
"Alternatively, we can send someone to contact Guiguzi."
"There must be no mistakes!"
Temujin gave the order without hesitation.
Although Guiguzi's previous performance was mediocre, he was ultimately a peak-level expert among celestial beings.
Its value cannot be ignored.
More importantly, he had just obtained the Bodhi Heart-Cleansing Pill.
With his profound accumulation of knowledge and the use of elixirs to suppress his inner demons, he may soon be able to break through to the Supreme Mythical Realm.
Such potential deserves attention!
The three responded in unison, bowed, and quickly withdrew.
.........
The Great Tang Dynasty, Fengxuan Pavilion.
"Guiguzi was truly a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow."
"It seems recruitment is hopeless, what a pity."
Wu Zetian gently shook her phoenix head and sighed.
This is an unparalleled powerhouse at the supreme mythical realm.
To say that you don't care at all would be absolute self-deception!
However, given the current situation...
Recruiting them will be no easy task!
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian changed the subject slightly and gave the order:
"Wan'er, the task of recruiting the third Pig King will be entrusted to you."
"In addition, the first and second should not be omitted."
"While we're at it, let's ask them if we can get any clues about any reclusive masters."
"If you gain something, you should know how to proceed."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty understands, please rest assured!"
Perhaps they realized the urgency of the mission.
Chapter 81 Traveling Together
She responded solemnly with a serious expression.
"To be on the safe side, let's bring the Imperial Advisor along."
Wu Zetian paused for a moment, then added.
Shangguan Wan'er bowed and accepted the order.
After bowing respectfully, he slowly withdrew.
Da Qin, the stronghold of the shifting sands.
"This is utterly laughable!"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have ended it all with one sword back then!"
Wei Zhuang withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Dao Golden List and chuckled.
His eyes were full of mockery and anger.
They were clearly extremely dissatisfied with Guiguzi's cowardly behavior.
Life and death are nothing, why hide?
This will only make him a laughingstock for no reason!
Great Han Dynasty, Imperial Sword Manor.
"One was greedy for life, the other indulged in lust."
"It's a waste of talent for such mediocre people to be on the list!"
By the Silver Pool, Yin Zhong muttered coldly to himself.
His voice betrayed a hint of jealousy.
The Third Pig King's dissolute behavior angered him with his lack of self-control.
If one is endowed with natural talents, how can one squander them like this?
