Chapter 1: I Like to Stay Hidden
During the Northern Song Dynasty.
A courtyard.
The courtyard has a rockery.
In the southwest corner, verdant bamboo is planted.
Under the eaves, there is a rather neat wooden corridor.
A young man, about 1.8 meters tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, looking lazy all over, like a salted fish, is leaning lazily on the wooden corridor.
Beside him, there is a wine gourd.
And a saber.
The young man picked up the wine gourd and took a gulp of wine.
“If only I had a phone to play with.” The young man complained.
This young man is called Peng Feng!
For some unknown reason, he transmigrated to the Northern Song Dynasty.
This Northern Song Dynasty is superficially the same as the Northern Song Dynasty in history.
But in reality, he discovered that it was really different.
This Northern Song Dynasty has martial artists.
Powerful martial artists can split mountains and break seas.
And Peng Feng’s background in this life is in the martial arts world, the famous ninth-rate sect – the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber Peng Family!!!
After discovering his background, Peng Feng was not discouraged.
At least he was born into a martial arts family.
Although this martial arts family is only ninth-rate.
But it is much better than ordinary civilians.
Then!
He began to practice martial arts!
Only after practicing martial arts did he realize that something was not quite right!
He is actually the legendary top genius that is hard to come by in a hundred years!
No, it should be a top genius that is hard to come by in a thousand years!
A genius among geniuses!
A monstrous genius!
Any martial art, he learns it as soon as he sees it!
What Pure Yang True Energy, what Five Tigers Broken Door Saber, what Grass-Treading Light Skill, all of this is too simple!!!
It’s as simple as one plus one equals two.
He also has a small enlightenment every three days and a big enlightenment every five days.
An enlightenment that others may not get even once in their lifetime, appears to him all the time.
After cultivating for more than ten years, his strength has now reached the fifth level of the Diamond Realm.
What is the approximate strength of the Diamond Realm?
Let’s put it this way.
Martial arts are divided into six major realms.
These six major realms are:
The first major realm, the Acquired Realm, is divided into twelve levels.
The second major realm, the Innate Realm, is divided into eight levels.
The third major realm, the Divine Strength Realm, is divided into ten levels.
The fourth major realm, the Diamond Realm, is divided into ten levels.
The fifth major realm, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, is divided into ten levels.
The sixth major realm, the Land Immortal Realm, this realm is completely unknown.
And he is only seventeen years old, yet he has already cultivated to the fifth level of the Diamond Realm.
You should know that the sect leader of the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber is only at the fifth level of the Innate Realm.
That means he is two major realms higher than the sect leader of the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber!!!
It can be said that Peng Feng’s cultivation speed is simply heaven-defying.
Unprecedented!!!
Even if you go back five hundred years, or even a thousand years, there has never been such a person!
If his cultivation speed were to be revealed, countless people would be so shocked that they would be speechless, their jaws would drop.
It would cause a great uproar.
Of course!
Although Peng Feng is explosively strong!!!!
He never shows it.
In front of his family, the strength he shows is that of a weakling at the sixth level of the Acquired Realm.
There’s no other way!
Peng Feng knows that any fantasy world, high martial arts world, is too dangerous.
Just look at those online novels he read in his previous life.
◈◈◈
In those novels, whether it’s the protagonist or the supporting characters, they would fight and kill to seize treasures for opportunities, magical artifacts, pills, and beauties at the slightest disagreement.
It can be said that danger is everywhere.
If you’re not careful, you’ll die.
Years of hard work would be directly wasted.
There wouldn’t even be a chance to start over.
Therefore!
He must keep a low profile!
He must stay hidden!
His martial arts talent is at the level of a peerless monster!
His improvement speed is so fast!
He doesn’t need to go out and stir up trouble, he can just continue to stay hidden and cultivate.
Wouldn’t it be fine if he just stayed hidden until he reached the Land Immortal Realm before going out?
A Land Immortal can suppress an entire era!
No!
Perhaps, above the Land Immortal Realm, there are even legendary realms!
Then there is nothing to say!
It’s decided, he must stay hidden until he’s stronger than a Land Immortal before going out.
At that time, he can ignore all the demons and monsters and sweep away everything!!!
As the saying goes, only those who stay hidden until the end and live the longest are the ultimate winners!!!
Peng Feng, while drinking his wine, leisurely thought about how long it would take for him to reach the Land Immortal Realm.
Ten years?
Twenty years?
◈◈◈◈◈◈**
While Peng Feng was drinking his wine.
Golden lights appeared in the sky above the Great Song.
These golden lights were suspended above all the cities in the Great Song where more than 300,000 people lived.
Terrifying fluctuations emanated from these golden lights.
And then!
A voice could be heard from the golden light, murmuring: “I am the Heavenly Dao of Great Song.”
“From today onwards, I will create three rankings for Great Song.”
“The first ranking is the Hidden Dragon List, all young people under the age of twenty-five can enter the list.
The Hidden Dragon List will rank seventy-two individuals, with strength ranging from low to high. Those who can remain on the list for a year will receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao.”
“The second ranking is the Earth List, ranking experts below the Land Immortal Realm. The Earth List has a total of seventy-two individuals.”
“The third ranking is the Heaven List. The Heaven List gathers all the Land Immortals of Great Song.”
“These three lists of the Great Song Heavenly Dao will be announced in three days.”
Then!
Three lists descended from the golden light.
Each was respectively inscribed with the words “Hidden Dragon List”.
“Earth List.”
And “Heaven List”.
However, the contents were blank.
Such a change also made people feel… very strange. Could this Great Song Heavenly Dao Three Rankings be a trick played by the enemy, some kind of strange technique?
Immediately, a Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm couldn’t help but swing his saber at the golden light.
As a result!
Although this Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm swung his saber, the moment it touched the golden light, he was directly sent flying back hundreds of meters by the force of the counterattack, and was directly severely injured.
Even a Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm was severely injured by touching this golden light!
It’s too terrifying!!!
Even a Land Immortal doesn’t have such power.
One of the few Land Immortals in the Great Song, the State Preceptor Lin Lingsu, personally observed this golden light, and after a long time, he sighed: “This Great Song Heavenly Dao Ranking is completely traceless, and it also has an aura of being indestructible, without birth or death, without beginning or end, transcending time and space, holy and saintly, which is beyond the capabilities of a Land Immortal.
Either, it was created by someone in a realm above the Land Immortal Realm.
But it is more likely that it is a ranking created by the true Heavenly Dao.”
Even the Land Immortal State Preceptor Lin Lingsu said so!
The other Land Immortals had similar attitudes.
Everyone then recognized that this was a ranking created by the true Heavenly Dao!
Everyone is waiting for the announcement of the Hidden Dragon List, the Earth List, and… the Heaven List in three days.
Among them, most of the young people are discussing who can get on the Hidden Dragon List.
Who can be number one on the Hidden Dragon List!!!
