Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

The white cranes call out names, nominating the young dragons on the monument; who are the thirty-six among them?
Ji Xiu from Jiangyin!

Then the white crane, carrying the auspicious glow of the sunset, gracefully descended.

Looking at the young man in white, who had just spoken with such conviction and composure, now showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, yet remained composed.
Many people, without prior arrangement, had the same thought in their minds.

He is truly a young immortal!

Some people's eyes flickered, and they murmured to themselves.

Some people also lost control of their emotions and their expressions became slightly out of control:
"A peasant from a small, remote prefecture, nominated for the thirty-sixth seat on the Young Dragon Stele!?"

"This"

A deep blush gradually spread across Dugu Qi's handsome face. At this moment, he felt a surge of bitterness welling up in his heart.

His voice trembled, and his body was like a tattered sack, leaking air from all sides and shivering slightly.

Instinctively, he didn't want to believe it.

However, the nomination of the Young Dragon Stele was not based on personal subjective will.

Instead, each prefecture and county would submit the names of the nominees, and then the Imperial Dao Stele standing in the 'White Jade Capital' would evaluate them before they could take their seats!
As a young dragon stele that draws upon the great mystic energy and encompasses the thirty-six provinces of the world.
As long as someone is a native of the Great Xuan realm, its strength and potential can be detected without fail!
His instinct was to deny it outright, to suspect it was a setup, and to verify the truth. But if he did that...
That would be to deny the majesty of the first Great Mystic Lord!
The first Great Mystic Lord, what kind of person was he, what kind of demeanor and style?

He was the most outstanding and mysterious legendary figure in the ancient chaotic world of the late Fan and early Xuan periods, a ruthless person who had broken through the nine levels of martial arts and ranked among the human immortals!
If one is ignorant and arrogant enough to utter words of doubt, then in this Great Xuan Prince's Mansion, Prince Chen Xuanque and Prince Yan Jiang Shentong...
Regardless of their true feelings, on the surface they are all Xuan officials and vassal kings who enjoy the Xuan's bounty, and they will definitely suppress their act of disrespecting the Xuan court's majesty immediately!
But these thirty-six seats are truly a bit too much!

without any exaggeration.

Since the founding of the Great Xuan Kingdom, it has established the White Mountains and Black Waters, and the Northern Cangzhou.

From Cangdu in the north to the various prefectures in the south, this vast expanse of several hundred years encompasses the lives of countless ordinary people.
I'm afraid there are very few, and you can't pick out more than a handful!
He ranked thirty-sixth among the world's young talents, and even before he had fully mastered the Flawless Realm, he was able to overpower a group of Dragon and Tiger masters, and even great martial artists who had reached the Dragon and Tiger Perfection Realm!
If you want to count upwards...
That leaves only the noble families of the Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars, and the princes and nobles of Baiyujing!

How much does this "Young Dragon Stele" think about the potential of this season's Xiu?

The white crane soared into the sky and uttered its name, each word as sharp as a sword, piercing straight into Dugu Qi's heart.

He felt that his words were like a play performed on a stage, with flags already planted everywhere, and his Dao heart was inevitably damaged.

How could they sabotage us so quickly!

Beside him, Qin Jinkui, Yuwen Xin, and other proud sons of powerful states who loved watching the drama unfold, were instantly thrown into a frenzy.

Those from the various prefectures below, upon being assessed by the official Daoist stele of the Great Xuan, leaped from the bow of the boat, standing tall above the capital!

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

In other words.

When Ji Xiu had just said that he wanted to compete for the title of "Number One Xuan Guan of Cangdu" in order to gain the qualification to enter Baiyujing and become the most successful person in the world, and to question the Regent, it seemed like a complete fantasy to him.

But after being disturbed by this auspicious crane, it no longer seemed like such arrogant talk.

On the contrary, there is now a sliver of a possibility that it might actually happen.

When you have nothing, all your words have no weight and will inevitably appear pale and powerless. When others see them, they will only invite ridicule and mockery.

But if there is even the slightest chance of it happening, even if it is an enemy or a foe, they have to face the possibility!

Ji Xiu's current success is the result of his continuous accumulation of strength, starting from breaking through the first major limit.

Finally, today, this seemingly impossible possibility has been given a sliver of a chance to be realized!
Xu Longxiang, standing beside him, couldn't help but blush:
"The Dragon Child Monument."

Back in his youth, he had also been among the top performers, though he never won a top prize, but he clearly understood the hardships involved.

Although my own talent isn't among the top tier, I've achieved such success entirely thanks to my good older brother's support. As a member of the True Martial Sect, he receives top-notch resources in every aspect.

If you put yourself in the shoes of this good grand-disciple...
Even with miraculous techniques and martial arts skills, it would be difficult to build such a solid foundation if one is constrained by the hardships of reality and lacks resources!
Ever since he met Ji Xiu, he had been a rough diamond, a bright and shining piece of gold in the vast sands of the Ganges.

As for how he rose from a lowly stable boy in that peaceful little county, and what hardships he endured along the way.
How could anyone else possibly understand the bitterness and hardship involved!

But for now, things have finally turned around!

Xu Longxiang laughed heartily, and the frustration that had been rising in his heart just now had completely vanished.

His eyes were sharp, now filled with disdain and a hint of smugness. He glanced at the Qin Clan Chief Qin Baisheng, whose expression was unpleasant, and the other clan chiefs who were eager to make a move, and snorted.

What about the children of state magnates who have been carefully nurtured?
Why haven't I seen any of you rotten pieces of wood produce any outstanding offspring?
Ji Xiu's words just now were quite startling, giving Xu Longxiang a fright. But seeing the sudden change in the situation, his initial worries dissipated considerably.

A true man should be born into this world with the ambition to swallow the sun and moon and dominate the universe. If one is among the thirty-six on the Young Dragon Stele and doesn't even dare to dream of being 'first-rate among men,' then what is the point of living?
In particular, Ji Xiu's motive and opportunity stemmed from his desire to clear his deceased disciple's name.
This moment filled Xu Longxiang's heart with warmth!
At the same time, he looked at the crane on the dragon-shaped stele and couldn't help but feel anticipation:

"Those who can be listed on the Dragon Infant Stele can use the Great Profound Luck to unlock their own 'destiny' once."

"I wonder if my grand-disciple will have such a great opportunity."

Why is it that every generation of young dragons nominated for the monument attracts so many young heroes from all over the world?
It's not just because being nominated makes one famous worldwide.

At the same time, there are deeper reasons.

That was what the auspicious crane's chanting just now described—

Heaven bestows blessings, and all taboos are lifted!
The Great Mystery inherits the dragon veins and destiny of the 'Red Land of Divine Land', integrates the north and south, and spans the east and west, and is the legitimate ruler of the 'Imperial Tour'.

Therefore, since the first Great Mystic Lord, every Mystic Lord who has ascended to the throne and inherited the true fruit has been called the "Son of Heaven" of the Divine Land of China.

This 'Son of Heaven' is a 'destiny' that has been recognized by the fortune of the entire Chinese land.

Why is it that in the Jade Capital, the false emperor and false king of Qi, who already holds the title of regent and commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the Great Xuan, has never been able to advance further?
It is because no matter how much his destiny is nurtured and nourished, he can never be blessed by Heaven, nor recognized by the ancestral dragon of the land of China, and thus cannot be destined to be an emperor!
Why do so many people vie to be included in the 'Great Mysterious Register' in order to become a Mysterious Official, receive a fief, and be ennobled as a duke or marquis?
On one hand, it is power; on the other hand, it is the ability to receive the infusion of great profound energy and activate one's destiny!
The concept of destiny sounds like "what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."

But reality is not like that. As the saying goes, "When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when luck turns, even heroes are powerless."
When a person is born, whether they are a king or a nobleman, or a commoner or a lowly servant, their fate is not determined by social status, but by the times. Going back nine dynasties, there are many examples of commoners from the Jianghuai region who rose from humble beginnings, relied on their iron fists to conquer the entire country, establish dynasties, and solidify their legitimacy.

Fate is further divided into 'six grades'.

They are known as the "lower three fates" and the "upper three fates"!
With the infusion of the Great Mysterious Qi, one's destiny, which is usually hidden, can break through barriers and manifest, thus providing feedback to one's true self.

The benefits of destiny are endless.

Afterwards, whether you cultivate martial arts or supernatural techniques, many secret manuals have hidden conditions that require a profound foundation of destiny. Otherwise, even if you force yourself to cultivate them, it will be difficult to achieve great success.

Furthermore, those who explore the ruins of immortal abodes, especially those with great fortune, are like 'chosen ones'.

When the time is right, while others are still empty-handed, those with profound destiny may come into contact with the core treasures simply by walking around, and thus return with a full load.

Legend has it that if one could attain the highest of the three fates, cultivate the sun and moon in perfect harmony, illuminate the entire land of China, and command the reverence of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, one would obtain the 'fate of an emperor'.
Furthermore, they possess the ability to 'turn misfortune into good fortune, survive countless calamities, and be reborn after tribulations, thus gaining a fortunate opportunity'!
In short, there are many benefits and endless advantages!
Moreover, the first time one receives the infusion of Qi and unlocks one's destiny, it is as if one has received the purest resources for cultivation in the world.

Those who focus on Taoist arts can refine their Purple Mansion, while those who focus on martial arts can transform their physical body. If one has a favorable destiny, it is comparable to consuming Taoist pills and rare materials, saving three to five years of hard work!

When Xu Longxiang first received the Great Profound Qi Infusion, he was given the destiny of a third-class "wealthy and noble" person, which transformed his physical body and brought him immense benefits.

It was obvious to the naked eye that his grand-disciple Ji Xiu had even greater potential than himself.

Right now, auspicious omens are bestowed, and destiny is being bestowed upon us.
I wonder what benefits I'll gain?
"Alright, everyone, we've had our welcome and our fun today, so let's all disperse for now and get some rest."

In the arena, one act ends and another begins, but Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, remains calm and composed throughout, as if he had anticipated all of this.

He first spoke gently to the people from various clans.

Then, looking at the auspicious crane 'Qingfeng' that had fallen into the prince's mansion, he smiled and said:
"The Xuanjia chariot set off before I even left the 'White Jade Capital,' traversing mountains and valleys along the way. How could it be slower than my royal carriage?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Xianhe glanced around at the group of figures and chuckled.
"Since we've come all the way to Baiyujing, we should naturally take the opportunity to see as much of the scenery as possible."

"Moreover, there are many opportunities in this mountain and sea, which are usually not shown to others. But as soon as I, the crane, took action, they all competed to show their brilliance, which really made me very happy, so I couldn't help but delay for a while."

Having said that, it looked at Ji Xiu and sized him up:

"These are the thirty-six seats on the contemporary Young Dragon Stele?"

Ji Xiu looked at the crane 'Qingfeng' and learned from Xu Longxiang about the auspicious blessing, the infusion of destiny, and the opening of one's fate. He dared not be negligent and respectfully bowed and clasped his hands.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I apologize for the long and bumpy journey."

Qingfeng Xuanhe flapped its wings, its eyes showing interest:

"Hey, you're an interesting kid."

"Over the years, I have seen many people listed on the Young Dragon Monument, but there are very few who are as polite as you."

It was quite moved, then it flapped its wings, and a crane feather shimmering with celestial light drifted down:
"Come here, kid."

"This crane has guarded the Great Profound Dao Stele for nine hundred years, nourished by the Great Profound Qi every day. It is responsible for selecting geniuses for the Great Profound, opening their destiny, so that they can climb the peak of cultivation."

"today."

"This extraordinary opportunity has been bestowed upon you."

"I hope you can control yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu was also deeply moved and grasped the 'crane feather'. In an instant, the 'Primordial Dao Talisman' in his mind also reacted!

[The recipient of the ordination receives the 'Auspicious Mystic Crane Feather,' a manifestation of auspicious destiny. It can unlock one's fate, transform oneself, and is a gift from heaven. Refine it.]

[This can complete the necessary inspiration for the 'Dream of the Yellow Millet' and unlock the dream entry!]

A pipe dream, enter the dream!

Upon seeing this, Ji Xiu was overjoyed.

What an unexpected surprise!

He had already witnessed the additional effects of the Yellow Millet Dream in the Primordial Dao Records. Whether it was comprehending profound skills or wonderful methods, as long as one entered the dream to understand them, one would surely achieve something!

The only downside is that there is a cooldown period after each use, and it takes a long time before it can be turned on again. And things that can replenish spiritual energy are really hard to find.

But to my surprise, what I found was right under my nose!
He recalled the titled ultimate skill attached to the 'Royal Power Blade' he currently possessed, the Martial Saint's ultimate technique—Three Tribulations of Reincarnation, and the 'Golden Core Dao' contained within the Nine Aperture Golden Core.
Ji Xiu's heart was filled with excitement, and he could hardly contain himself. The next moment, he wanted to refine them and choose one to enter his dream so that his cultivation would greatly increase.

The various noble families crammed into the prince's mansion originally wanted to see what kind of 'destiny' this young man would embark on after receiving auspicious blessings and being nurtured by destiny.
But with Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, speaking up, it became impossible to keep them there any longer.

Especially when the crane from Baiyujing spoke human language and chatted with the Prince of Yan, the information it revealed caused the expressions of the clan leaders such as Qin Baisheng and Dugu Cheng to change drastically.

感情
This prince, who was sent to govern the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River region, already knew that this young man was a rising star and would sit in the thirty-sixth seat.
No wonder I heard a lot of commotion outside the Prince's Palace when I left. Everyone was saying that Prince Ji Xiu from Jiangyin Prefecture had arrived but refused to ride in his carriage, and now he was stepping forward to mediate.
Perhaps they were tempted by the prospect and wanted to recruit such a promising talent into their own household for their own use!

The various factions felt heavy-hearted and complicated, especially when they thought of the upcoming 'Grand Ceremony of the Mysterious Officials'. If this young man showed no sign of giving up, there would likely be another bloody storm. Therefore, they had no choice but to leave early and make preparations.

When the prince's mansion suddenly became empty and quiet
Ji Xiu couldn't wait any longer. Holding the auspicious fairy feather, he felt a faint pull. He immediately closed his eyes, summoned his Purple Mansion, and activated the 'Primordial Dao Talisman' to refine it!

then
As rays of light leaked from his body, the faint sounds of dragons roaring and serpents echoed. His innate spiritual light surged forth, illuminating an entire noble mansion. Even if one tried to deliberately bury or conceal it, one could not hide it!
This scene.

Seeing this, the gazes of Prince Yan Jiang Shentong, Xu Longxiang, and the feudal lord Chen Xuanque all suddenly sharpened, fixed on the white-robed youth who had undergone a transformation:

"This is."

"With the three highest astrological predictions, one will become a 'Dragon-Snake Descendant'!" (End of Chapter)
