The Great Dao Golden List, Me! The Supreme Martial God Exposed – Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Ying Zheng’s Ardor

【Divine Sword List】

【25th Place: Hanguang】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a Low-Grade Earth-Rank 《Shadowless Swordplay》 technique, formless and invisible, with unpredictable changes.】

“How is this possible? How could Second Martial Uncle’s Hanguang Sword only be ranked 25th?”

“That’s right, I thought Second Martial Uncle’s Hanguang Sword could at least make it into the top 20!”

At the Little Sage Manor, countless Confucian Disciples were in an uproar.

The Hanguang Sword was the personal sword of Yan Lu, the second-in-command of the Confucian School.

It was ranked 16th in the Feng Hu Zi Sword Manual and was one of the “Three Swords of Kong Zhou” recorded in 《Liezi: Tang Wen》.

It was a legendary invisible sword, with a double edge, and the blade would only appear under light.

It was said to be invisible when viewed, and its touch was unknown when wielded. It was boundless and limitless, passing through objects unnoticed. The sharpness was contained and not revealed, which was the true nature of Hanguang.

“Second Martial Brother’s Hanguang Sword is only ranked 25th? Could there really be nine unknown swords in this world that are more powerful than the Hanguang Sword?”

Zhang Liang, the third-in-command of the Confucian School, gently stroked the Lingxu Sword in his hand, his brow furrowed.

He was considered well-traveled and knowledgeable, but he could not imagine that there were nine unknown swords in this world that were more powerful than the Hanguang Sword.

If there were one or two, or even two or three, it would be normal.

But a full nine…

It was simply unimaginable.

“The Hanguang Sword not making it into the top 20 is truly unexpected. I didn’t think there were so many unknown swords in the world!”

Fu Nian, the Sect Leader of the Confucian School, gently stroked the Tai’a Sword in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation: “I wonder what rank my Tai’a Sword will be?”

Countless swordsmen and Confucian Disciples were puzzled and discussed it amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sword List continued to announce the rankings unhurriedly.

【Divine Sword List】

【24th Place: Tianzhao】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a High-Grade Earth-Rank 《Youth-Preserving Pill》, which can increase lifespan by ten years.】

“Youth-Preserving Pill!”

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng’s eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. Although it was not an elixir of immortality, a pill that increased lifespan was also extremely rare.

Moreover, now that there was a pill that increased lifespan, the possibility of an elixir of immortality appearing later was even greater.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, according to what this servant knows, this Tianzhao belongs to Yun Zhongjun Xu Fu, one of the five elders of the Yin-Yang School. This servant is willing to go, and I believe Yun Zhongjun would be happy to offer it to Your Majesty!”

Although Zhao Gao was paying attention to the Divine Sword List, he was more concerned about Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng’s expression, how could he not know that Ying Zheng was moved by the Youth-Preserving Pill.

He quickly stepped forward to offer a plan, his face full of flattery.

“Very well, if Xu Fu is willing to offer the pill, grant him a thousand gold and enfeoff him as a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then said: “Issue an order that all those who offer pills rewarded by the Divine Sword List will receive a great reward!”

“This servant obeys!”

Zhao Gao was overjoyed. As long as he made Xu Fu offer the pill, it would also be a great achievement.

Moreover, with the emergence of this Divine Sword List, the benefits his Net organization had gained were not small. Their overall strength had increased by at least 20%.

【Divine Sword List】

【23rd Place: Tiger Soul】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a High-Grade Earth-Rank 《Tiger Roar Art》 technique. When the sword is drawn, it is like a tiger’s roar. Before the blade arrives, it has already seized the soul, destroyed the courage, and dominated the world.】

【22nd Place: Juque】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a High-Grade Earth-Rank 《Heavy Sword Art》 technique. A heavy sword has no edge, great skill is achieved through simplicity. One sword can break all techniques, one force can overcome all.】

【21st Place: Lingxu】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a High-Grade Earth-Rank 《Lingfeng Nine Swords》 technique, like a breeze in an empty valley, escaping the world and soaring in emptiness.】

◈◈◈

The Farming School.

The Chi You Hall.

“What a 《Tiger Roar Art》! It’s a perfect match for my Tiger Soul Sword, domineering and awe-inspiring, dominating the world!”

Tian Hu, the Hall Master of the Chi You Hall, held the Tiger Soul Sword and laughed excitedly.

◈◈◈

Although he didn’t make it into the top 20, he was still very happy to have obtained the 《Tiger Roar Art》 technique, which was very compatible with his swordsmanship.

“Congratulations, Hall Master, on obtaining the 《Tiger Roar Art》. It’s like a tiger growing wings, invincible under heaven.”

The disciples of the Chi You Hall congratulated him one after another.

“Hahaha, well said. All disciples, there will be great rewards.”

Tian Hu waved the Tiger Soul Sword, laughing heartily. He was very arrogant himself, and his nature was as fierce as fire. Now that he had obtained such a swordsmanship technique, his confidence had swelled even more.

However, unlike the joyful atmosphere of the Farming School’s Chi You Hall, the Confucian Disciples of the Little Sage Manor were full of resentment.

The Lingxu Sword was the personal sword of Zhang Liang, the third-in-command of the Confucian School.

The famous sword appraiser of Chu, Feng Hu Zi, commented: “The sword’s body is slender and beautiful, the whole body is crystal clear and dazzling, impossible to look directly at. The emerald leather scabbard is seamless, inlaid with eighteen ‘Bixue Danxin’ pearls from the Northern Sea. Although it is a sharp weapon, it has no trace of blood. It has a graceful, immortal air, a choice among famous weapons!”

“Although the sword is a weapon of destruction, it is even more difficult to use the sword to carry one’s will and to illuminate one’s heart with the sword. The sword maker must be a recluse who has seen through the world and understands heaven and earth. Although it is an ancient artifact from the Later Zhou Dynasty, it has floated in the chaotic world for many years. However, if it does not meet a peerless talent who has been forgotten by the world, it will not find its true master. It is said: ‘Like a breeze in an empty valley, escaping the world and soaring in emptiness.'”

The Lingxu Sword was ranked 10th in the sword manual.

However, now on the Divine Sword List, it didn’t even make it into the top 20.

Little Sage Manor.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, Xun Zi stood by the window, his temples graying, his hands clasped behind his back, his deep gaze quietly watching the Divine Sword List.

“Martial Uncle, most of the famous swords in the world are on the list now, and the remaining ones are at most no more than the number of two hands. But now there are twenty spots. Are there really so many hidden famous swords in this world?”

Fu Nian, the Sect Leader of the Confucian School, asked.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out how to fill these twenty spots.

“The world is vast, and there are countless wonders. A person’s life in this world is but a drop in the ocean. Not knowing does not mean it doesn’t exist. Just keep watching and you will know,”

Xun Zi’s gaze did not move, his voice calm and indifferent, as if he was beyond the world.

“Martial Uncle is right, this disciple will keep your teachings in mind.”

Fu Nian bowed respectfully, and then stopped speaking, quietly watching the list.

【Divine Sword List】

【20th Place: Qiu Li】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a Low-Grade Heaven-Rank sword technique 《The Highest Good is Like Water》. Water dripping can pierce stone, benefiting all things without contention, it can be both firm and soft, unpredictable and ever-changing.】

【19th Place: Shui Han】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a Low-Grade Heaven-Rank technique 《Mystic Ice Sword Art》. Condensing qi into ice, condensing ice into a sword, where the heart wills, the sword will follow.】

【18th Place: Chixiao】

【Reward: Grants the wielder a Low-Grade Heaven-Rank technique 《True Dragon Art》. With the nation’s destiny upon oneself, cultivation is enhanced a hundredfold, with the imperial dragon qi, one will be invincible.】

◈◈◈

“My heavens, the top 20 are indeed Heaven-Rank sword techniques!”

Countless martial artists were excited.

Seeing those rewards, their eyes turned red, wishing they could fly over and snatch the rewards.

The Taoist School.

The Heaven Sect.

Xiao Meng looked at the Qiu Li, which was ranked ninth in the sword manual, but was only 20th on the Divine Sword List. Her originally cold and aloof eyes couldn’t help but flicker.

“The Highest Good is Like Water, this sword technique is quite compatible with our Taoist School. It seems that the rewards granted by the Divine Sword List are based on the characteristics of the wielder.”

Bei Mingzi’s voice was calm, but his heart was equally puzzled.

Even the Shui Han, which was ranked seventh in the sword manual, was only ranked 19th.

The remaining ones were only the Tianwen, Yuanhong, Tai’a, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, and Xueji that were not on the list.

Even if some unknown swords were added, there couldn’t possibly be more than ten vacancies, right?

“However, this Chixiao Sword is quite interesting. It seems that its wielder has an imperial destiny. I’m afraid Ying Zheng won’t be able to sit still!”

Bei Mingzi’s gaze shifted from the Shui Han Sword to the Chixiao Sword, which was ranked 18th, his voice tinged with emotion.
