Ying Zheng did not agree, but instead asked indifferently.
"No matter how strong the opponent, this servant swears to reclaim the divine power for Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao, eager to demonstrate his loyalty, responded immediately.
"Just you?"
Ying Zheng's gaze turned slightly cold as he turned to look at Li Si.
"It's time to ask that person for help."
"Even if we can't defeat the Heavenly Demon, we can at least stop him from rescuing Xie Tiao."
"Your subject obeys, and also believes that only that sir is capable of this task."
Li Si respectfully accepted the order.
Ying Zheng waved for the two men to leave.
Gazing at the Heavenly Ranking, he murmured to himself:
"The Azure Dragon Society and Ximen Yu are my formidable enemies... Breaking Yuan Pill, ha!"
Meanwhile, in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
"Breaking Yuan Pill? Just one can advance a Celestial Realm cultivator to the Supreme Mythical Realm?"
"Could it be that the Azure Dragon Society and Ximen Yu are capable of mass-producing unparalleled mythical powerhouses?"
A hint of shock flashed in Empress Wu Zetian's eyes.
The land of Kyushu values martial arts, and everyone practices martial arts.
If one out of a hundred martial artists becomes a peerless master
One in a thousand peerless masters becomes a terrestrial immortal.
Among ten thousand terrestrial immortals, perhaps only one will reach the Celestial Realm.
The gap between the Celestial Realm and the Supreme Mythical Realm is like an insurmountable chasm.
Many top experts at the Celestial Realm level eventually disappeared into the dust of Kyushu's history.
However, with just one pill, Ximen Yu created a powerful expert at the Supreme Myth Realm.
what does this mean?
This means that all the powerful beings in the Celestial Realm who have no ties will rush to join the Azure Dragon Society.
After all, even if one cultivates diligently throughout one's entire life, it may not be possible to break through this barrier.
Just like Chuan Ying, who has been worshipped by the Sui Dynasty royal family for many years, he is still stuck at the peak of the Celestial Realm.
But now, as long as you join the Azure Dragon Society and serve Ximen Yu, you will have the opportunity to obtain a "Breaking Yuan Pill".
In that case, I'm afraid all martial artists in the world would flock to it!
Is Ximen Yu truly a favorite of Heaven?
This blatant recruitment of talent for the Azure Dragon Society is far too ostentatious!
Empress Wu Zetian felt bitter.
She felt deeply exhausted.
She also longed for the favor of Heaven!
She also wanted that Breakthrough Pill!
Unfortunately, all of this is just wishful thinking...
She foresaw that more people would join the Green Dragon Society.
With this shift in power, the situation of the three great dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty, will become increasingly difficult.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Shangguan Wan'er understood Wu Zetian's thoughts best, and saw that she was restless because of the Heavenly Ranking.
After a little thought, the reason becomes clear.
A soft call finally brought the Queen back to her senses.
"Is Your Majesty worried that the Azure Dragon Society is using the 'Breaking Yuan Pill' to recruit top experts from all over the world?"
"Shouldn't we be worried? Even you and I, in this situation, how could we not be tempted?"
Wu Zetian sighed deeply. As the only female emperor in Chinese history, she would not be easily defeated.
However, even she found it hard to resist the Breaking Yuan Pill.
You should know that pills that can directly break through a realm, even if it's just a small realm, are priceless.
Each breakthrough signifies a significant increase in lifespan.
"Wan'er was also touched, but Your Majesty need not worry."
"Does Your Majesty still remember who topped the Heavenly Ranking?"
"The first one? Isn't that just the Twenty-Four Solar Terms of the Azure Dragon Society?"
Wu Zetian was very familiar with the power rankings of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms were revealed to her for the first time as a member of the Azure Dragon Society, so she naturally had a deep impression of them.
"I see."
Wu Zetian suddenly realized the truth.
Although all twenty-four people were listed on the Twenty-Four Solar Terms list at the same time and possessed a combined attack formation, they were praised by the Golden List as "individually they can stand alone, and together they are unparalleled in the world".
The evaluation is indeed extremely high.
However, the list also reveals two major weaknesses of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms:
Firstly, they only possessed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Celestial Realm, which, despite being extraordinary, was ultimately limited in terms of realm.
Secondly, their potential has been completely exhausted!
The fact that the Azure Dragon Society concealed the twenty-four solar terms as a trump card is clearly an important part of their plan.
However, their potential as a trump card has been exhausted, and they have only reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Azure Dragon Society, or rather Ximen Yu, is not omnipotent.
There may be limitations to the Breakthrough Pill, both for the pill itself and for the user.
In other words, Ximen Yu is unable to create a large number of Supreme Myth Realm experts.
Wu Zetian was exceptionally intelligent, and after a little guidance from Shangguan Wan'er, she suddenly understood.
"Wan'er is indeed quick-witted; I had been overthinking things."
"But even if the Breakthrough Pill has flaws, other Celestial Realm experts are unaware of them."
"By secretly spreading this message among the Bad Guys, we might be able to prevent some people from joining the Azure Dragon Society."
"Secondly, open up Luocang to attract talented individuals from all over the world."
"The Azure Dragon Society already possesses considerable power, with Ximen Yu and the seven dragon leaders."
"Regardless of whether the Breakthrough Pill has flaws or whether it can mass-produce Supreme Mythical Realm experts."
"They have all seriously threatened our situation."
"You must personally travel to the Qin and Yuan dynasties to forge an alliance; this matter cannot be delayed."
"The matter of the Breaking Yuan Pill will surely alert them."
Luo Cang is a secret treasure trove of the Tang Dynasty, storing more than half of the cultivation resources.
To counter the Azure Dragon Society, Wu Zetian is now sparing no effort in utilizing all her resources.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Shangguan Wan'er was completely convinced and sincerely praised her.
Inside the Yuan Dynasty Imperial Palace.
"The Azure Dragon Society, it's the Azure Dragon Society again..."
Temujin was furious.
Every now and then, the Heavenly Path Golden List would mention the Azure Dragon Society or Ximen Yu.
He really wanted to question the Heavenly Dao: was this the Heavenly Dao's Golden List, or Ximen Yu's private list?
"Khan, please calm down."
Si Hanfei, whose injuries had not yet healed, still stepped forward to advise:
"Although it is rumored that Li Taibai forcefully killed Jue Wushen and took over the Temple of War God."
"Now the list of top scholars has revealed the 'Breaking Yuan Pill' again, but in my opinion, this may not be a good thing, but may instead bring disaster."
"Oh? What do you mean by that, Uncle?"
Temujin's expression softened, as if he had also noticed something amiss.
"The Azure Dragon Society has always acted tyrannically; those who obey prosper, and those who defy perish."
"Although it is supported by Ximen Yu's forbidden strength and the power of the Azure Dragon Society, the strongest things will eventually decline."
A glint of light flashed in Temujin's eyes.
"The Azure Dragon Society used to operate covertly and was unfathomable. Now, the more it exposes itself, the more it arouses people's fear."
"I'm afraid those two in Xianyang and Chang'an can't hold back any longer, and they're about to join forces."
"Exactly! That's the first point."
Si Hanfei smiled slightly:
There's a saying in the Central Plains: "The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind!"
"The Azure Dragon Society's excessive power will inevitably lead to its rejection by various forces."
"Not only the two great dynasties, but also the Yunzhou World Society and other hidden forces will probably appear one after another."
"Makes sense!"
Temujin's face lit up with joy:
"My uncle immediately set about contacting various forces."
"Furthermore, the Breaking Yuan Pill, though seemingly an opportunity, is actually a source of trouble."
"Although it has created an unparalleled mythical expert like Chuan Ying, how easy is it to mass-produce them?"
"There are many powerful cultivators at the Celestial Realm in the world, but there are too many monks and not enough porridge, so the Azure Dragon Society cannot satisfy them."
"Those who fail to achieve their goals will surely turn against them."
"At that time, the union of various forces would be the end for the Azure Dragon Society and Ximen Yu."
"Khan is wise."
Si Hanfei also did not believe that the Breaking Yuan Pill could be obtained so easily.
Although there aren't many experts at the Celestial Realm in the Nine Provinces, there are still quite a few.
People's hearts are hard to appease; they are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.
As long as Ximen Yu cannot satisfy all the experts at the Celestial Realm, those who have not benefited from him will become his enemies!
Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking on the part of Temujin and Sihanfei!
If Ximen Yu knew what they were thinking, he would probably laugh so hard he couldn't stand up straight.
The Azure Dragon Society has plenty of everything except for pills, which they can never use up.
The accumulated sign-in rewards over sixty years, the resources secretly stockpiled, and the wealth gained from driving the Azure Dragon Society to carry out missions—it's simply piled up like a mountain!
The Breaking Yuan Pill is a rare treasure in the eyes of the three great dynasties, and it is also priceless in the eyes of the Heavenly Realm experts of the Nine Provinces.
But to Ximen Yu, it was just an ordinary elixir.
As many as you want, we'll give you as many!
