One can imagine how powerful this secret manual, created by such a supreme being with the entirety of his life, must be.
As it turns out, the "War God's Record" is indeed terrifying. It not only created Chuan Ying, a powerful figure who reached the peak of the terrestrial celestial realm at the age of twenty-seven, but also allowed him to break through to the celestial realm of longevity after mastering it.
Anyone who hears about such a thing will feel an immense longing for "The War God's Chronicle".
What's most shocking is that a secret is hidden in the War God Hall of Jingyan Palace.
In the previous civilization, a terrifying demonic creature that surpassed the realm of immortality of celestial beings actually appeared!
Even if this demonic dragon's true strength only reached the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm, it would still be enough to terrify everyone.
Back then, Huangfu Jian, the first generation sword saint of the Han Dynasty, had just stepped into the realm of the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man, yet he single-handedly slaughtered the Heavenly Realm, causing rivers of blood to flow.
This demonic dragon was clearly far stronger than Huangfu Jian.
With such monsters ravaging the world, one can only imagine how desperate humanity must have felt at that time.
Fortunately, there is a peerless master like the God of War!
If the God of War hadn't sealed this demonic dragon, the Eternal Night Calamity would probably have arrived much earlier.
Chapter 152 The Existence of a Big Shot
After a brief silence, a group of martial arts heroes began to discuss excitedly:
"Heavens! Did I hear that right? The 'War God's Record' actually comes from another civilization ten thousand years ago?"
"I always thought that the person who could create the 'War God's Record' must be an invincible power, but I never expected that it was left over from the previous era."
"The Eternal Night Cataclysm destroyed everything, yet this 'War God's Record' was still preserved intact, which shows how deeply the War God's Temple of Jingyan Palace was hidden."
"Because the Temple of War is so hidden, outsiders can't get in at all. Over the past thousand years, only Chuan Ying has gone in and hasn't come out yet. No wonder no one knows that there is a Temple of War here."
"This is terrifying! This Temple of War God not only contains the 'War God's Record,' but also a terrifying demonic dragon, an existence that surpasses even the Great Longevity of Celestials!"
"The fact that the previous civilization could produce such powerful beings as the Demon Dragon and the God of War shows that they should not be underestimated."
"It is said that Ying was blessed by the heavens to be able to enter the Temple of War God and comprehend the supreme divine skill 'War God's Record'. He is truly blessed with incredible luck."
"Haha, with Chuanying's talent and comprehension, he will definitely be able to fully comprehend the 'War God's Record'. At that time, our Great Song Jianghu will have another master of the Celestial Longevity Realm."
“I used to think that with the help of the Dragon God Technique, Tong Bo would achieve even greater success than Chuan Ying. But now it seems that the War God Record is even better.”
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
"The War God's Manual?" Fusu's breathing quickened. "This is the true peerless cultivation manual!"
Zhang Han, Zhao Gao, Yue Shen, and others also showed expressions of interest.
The power of "The War God's Manual" far surpasses all the cultivation manuals previously evaluated, making it unparalleled in the world.
Even the Dragon God Technique, which has been passed down for seven thousand years, cannot compare to it.
After all, the Dragon God Technique was created by a master under the command of the demon god Chi You more than seven thousand years ago.
However, the "War God's Record" was created ten thousand years ago by a war god whose strength was no less than that of Chi You.
The difference between the two is obvious.
Fusu, who was originally very interested in the nameless immortal stone of the Xiaoyao Sect and determined to obtain it, has now changed his mind.
If we could get our hands on the "War God's Manual," it would be a million times better than anything like the "Eternal Youth Technique."
Fusu quickly frowned and turned to look at the Moon Goddess: "Can the Imperial Advisor deduce the location of the War God Hall in Jingyan Palace?"
The veil covering the moon goddess's eyes swayed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "This mysterious other-dimensional space is beyond my current ability to predict with my Yin-Yang astrology."
Although Fusu had expected this, he was still somewhat disappointed to hear it.
Unexpectedly, the Moon Goddess then said, "But the 'War God's Record' has a huge influence, so perhaps we can ask Lord Donghuang to help. If Lord Donghuang personally takes action, he might be able to calculate the exact location of the War God's Temple and how to enter it."
Fusu's eyes lit up immediately.
How could he forget about Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School?
This Donghuang Taiyi was the most mysterious figure among the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Qin Dynasty, and even Ying Zheng respected him greatly.
If we can get Donghuang Taiyi to help, the chances of obtaining the "War God's Record" will definitely increase significantly.
If the Qin Dynasty could obtain the "War God's Record," Fusu simply couldn't imagine what would happen next.
One thing is certain: Ying Zheng will reward him handsomely.
Thinking of this, Fusu wished he could fly back to Xianyang immediately to report this matter to Ying Zheng.
But when he realized that there was only one spot left on the list of the most outstanding scholars in the Song Dynasty, he calmed down and focused on Bai Yutai.
Even with Chuan Ying's formidable strength, he could only rank second, which shows just how strong the top spot truly is.
The Qin Dynasty wants to dominate the entire Nine Provinces. We need to understand this kind of super-powerful entity better.
In the sixth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Lei Wujie stared wide-eyed in amazement: "This 'War God's Record' is too terrifying! It's actually a product of an ancient civilization."
“Not only did the ‘War God's Record’ survive, but that demonic dragon also survived the Eternal Night Calamity because of a great disaster. It seems that the Eternal Night Calamity didn’t really wipe everyone out,” Wuxin said softly.
Xiao Se shook his head: "There were indeed people who survived the Eternal Night Cataclysm, but they needed to have the cultivation of a Celestial Being with Great Longevity. This demonic dragon was even more powerful than a Celestial Being with Great Longevity, and it was hiding in an alternate dimension, so it's normal for it to have survived the catastrophe. Ordinary people couldn't do that."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The thought that there was a mysterious place in the world that not only contained top-level cultivation manuals but also the most terrifying demons of the world made them feel apprehensive.
Tang Lian said, "The ancient civilizations had powerful beings like the God of War and the Demon Dragon, which shows they were very strong. But the Celestial Immortal said that the current human civilization is the strongest since the birth of Haotian. I don't know what he meant by that."
This sentence reminded everyone of it.
Ancient civilizations had war gods, demonic dragons, butchers who were nearly immortal, and drunkards who mastered the highest secrets of martial arts. These powerful beings were just the tip of the iceberg.
If modern civilization is truly more advanced than ancient civilization, wouldn't that mean there are even more powerful figures in the world?
Compared to this, ordinary experts at the Great Longevity Realm are nothing.
Among the powerful figures revealed so far, only Ke Haoran and Lü Zu can be compared to them—Ke Haoran is at the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm and may break through at any time; Lü Zu is a master of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Besides them, there are many other masters like them who haven't shown up yet.
Thinking of this, the people in the private room all looked serious and exchanged knowing glances with Bai Yutai.
Clearly, a powerhouse of this caliber is likely a top figure in the martial arts world.
I just don't know if the leaders of the Jianghu in the Song Dynasty have this level.
Su Chen sensed more and more gazes falling upon him, and without further ado, he said directly:
"Next, let's comment on the last expert on the list."
"The number one on the list of the greatest talents in the Song Dynasty is Ling Donglai."
"I imagine everyone has a lot of guesses about this expert."
"He is the same peerless grandmaster who frightened Xue Shou Li Gong so much fifty years ago that he dared not leave the mountain again."
"Although he did not cultivate immortality, he lived a long time because he had comprehended the true meaning of the Dao of Heaven through martial arts and entered the Dao through martial arts."
"Among the powerful figures I've reviewed before, only Lu Zu from the Liyang Jianghu has reached this level. He is proficient in both the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Martial Arts."
"Like Lü Zu, he had no master to teach him, but took nature as his teacher. He was detached from worldly affairs and had an extraordinary personality."
"However, Lu Zu was the one who unified all methods, while he specialized in martial arts and practiced it to its extreme."
"However, he rarely shows himself and rarely makes a move, so not many people in the martial arts world know much about him."
"However, Ling Donglai is not the kind of person who completely lives in seclusion as everyone imagines."
"He has always been concerned about the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty and is an invisible guardian of it."
"When the martial arts world is in trouble, he will step in and resolve the crisis with swift and decisive measures."
"For example, it once intimidated the Blood Hand Li Gong, making him dare not do evil again."
"Sixty years ago, Meng Chixing, a top expert of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, infiltrated the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty to gather information and find important figures."
"His strength has reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal. He is elusive and unpredictable. Although the Song Dynasty sent people to investigate, no one has been able to find his whereabouts."
"Until Ling Dong couldn't bear to watch any longer, he personally went to Meng Chixing's carriage and played the flute."
Chapter 153 It’s terrible
"Meng Chixing was preparing to assassinate a high-ranking official when he heard the sound of the flute. He immediately searched around but found nothing."
"He knew that someone wanted to stop him, but he was arrogant and invincible in his demonic arts, so he didn't care and still carried out the assassination."
"Suddenly, a palm appeared in front of him, and before he could see who it was, he was blasted away."
"Even his cultivation level of a terrestrial immortal was instantly reduced to the Divine Travel Profound Realm by this palm strike."
"Faced with such a strong opponent, Meng Chixing was shocked and immediately fled back to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. From then on, he never dared to set foot in the Song Dynasty again."
"However, apart from those two times, Ling Donglai has never made a move again."
"He has already reached the realm of immortality, and in order to comprehend the mysteries of life and death beyond martial arts, he has locked himself in the Ten Deadly Barriers and will not come out until he breaks through them."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, we will temporarily rank him first on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Song Dynasty."
Inside the Dengtian Pavilion, it was bustling with activity.
The top spot on the Great Song Dynasty's list of unparalleled masters has finally been revealed, and as everyone expected, it belongs to an extremely rare expert at the Celestial-Human Great Longevity Realm.
Moreover, Ling Donglai is clearly not an ordinary Celestial Longevity Realm expert; he has already stepped from the Martial Path into the Heavenly Path.
If the Tai Xuan Zhenren, who entered the path of immortality through martial arts, is admirable, then Ling Donglai, who entered the path of heaven through martial arts, is worthy of utmost respect.
After all, throughout the entire Nine Provinces, it is generally acknowledged that only Lu Zu can do this.
Lu Zu is the most powerful figure in the history of the Jianghu in Liyang.
This shows that Ling Donglai's talent is truly amazing.
Especially after hearing Su Chen's subsequent comments, the group of martial arts figures from the Song Dynasty were overjoyed.
It turns out that Ling Donglai had been quietly protecting the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty all along!
There are even invisible guardians in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty!
When the list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty was announced, although many powerful demons appeared, there were also righteous people who stepped forward, which reassured people.
