Fusu nodded slightly, clearly understanding Zhang Han's meaning.
Xiaoyaozi has already reached the realm of a terrestrial celestial being, and his whereabouts are unpredictable, making it almost impossible to obtain the "Eternal Youth Technique" from him.
But precisely because Xiaoyaozi was absent, they were given the opportunity to seize the nameless immortal stone.
Judging from Su Chen's comments, the nameless immortal stone is most likely located at the headquarters of the Free and Unfettered Sect—the Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain.
Even if there were no nameless immortal stones there, the "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme Technique" cultivated by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny is still a decent method of cultivating immortality.
So a trip to Tianshan is definitely worth it.
Based on this intelligence alone, the trip to Dengtian Pavilion was worthwhile.
In the third private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Xiong Ba suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming. "What a nameless immortal stone! It's even more powerful than I imagined."
"This nameless immortal stone is indeed a divine object. Even if you don't understand its mysteries, just drinking some water that has been soaked in it can prolong your life and keep you young forever."
Bu Jingyun was also extremely tempted, clearly very interested in the stone.
“This mysterious immortal stone is no ordinary object. A free-spirited person like Xiaoyaozi would never carry it around all the time. It must be hidden on Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain. Such a divine object should rightfully belong to me, Xiong Ba,” Xiong Ba said confidently.
Although Su Chen mentioned that the Xiaoyao Sect was powerful and had the Tianshan Child Granny, a half-step Earth Immortal at the peak, these were not a concern for Xiong Ba, who had already entered the realm of a terrestrial immortal.
Nie Feng looked towards the door and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid many people are thinking the same thing. The Xiaoyao Sect is secondary in this trip to Misty Peak of Tianshan. The key is the competitors from other dynasties."
Xiong Ba snorted coldly: "Whoever dares to compete with me is courting death."
On the white jade platform, Su Chen looked at the lively atmosphere in the hall with satisfaction, gently unfolded his folding fan, and continued:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Second place on the list of champions, Chuan Ying."
"This master must be known by many in the martial arts world."
"He and Tong Bo, the successor of the Long family, a cultivation family in the Ming Dynasty, are known as the two top young talents of today, and no one in the whole country can match them."
"However, last time I reviewed the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking, and I only focused on introducing Chuan Ying's unparalleled swordsmanship."
"In fact, Chuan Ying is not only an exceptionally skilled swordsman, but also a cultivator himself."
"Moreover, the cultivation technique he practices is considered one of the strongest in the world, and it is called the 'War God Record'!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement.
Chuan Ying actually made the list!
Many heroes and warriors in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty showed expressions of disbelief.
It should be noted that Chuan Ying was a master who had reached the peak of the Land Celestial Realm, and a peerless figure ranked second in the world for swordsmanship.
Almost everyone thought that Chuan Ying should be firmly in first place, but unexpectedly he only ranked second.
Immediately afterwards, expressions of excitement and joy appeared on everyone's faces.
This suggests that there are people in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty who are stronger than Chuan Ying, and that person may have already entered the realm of the Great Longevity of the Celestial Being.
The immortality of the gods!
This is the pinnacle of martial arts in the human realm.
The thought that such an extraordinary and powerful figure was in charge of the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty is exhilarating.
After hearing Su Chen's next words, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Chuan Ying is actually a cultivator, and he cultivates the "War God Record," making him one of the top cultivators in the world.
It's unbelievable.
Chuan Ying is one of the most dazzling geniuses of his time. He disregarded the rules of the Haotian World and reached the peak of the Land Celestial Realm at the age of twenty-seven.
How could such a genius have obtained the method of cultivating immortality?
This means that for the next few hundred years, Chuan Ying will dominate the world with just himself and his sword.
Those who originally thought that Chuan Ying might not be able to break through to the Celestial Great Longevity Realm have now changed their minds.
With Chuan Ying's talent, coupled with the long lifespan of a cultivator, even if he takes it slow, he can still reach that realm.
By then, the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty will have two powerful figures at the Celestial Longevity Realm.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"What? Did I hear that right? Chuan Ying actually made the list, and he's only ranked second?"
"I thought he was definitely number one. There are always people better than you. Even if Chuan Ying is as strong as he is, there are people who are even stronger than him."
"So, the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty also has experts at the Celestial Longevity Realm? This place is truly extraordinary."
"Chuan Ying is just too incredible! His martial arts and swordsmanship are top-notch, and he's also a cultivator. He's practically leaving no way for anyone else to survive!"
"No wonder he has such terrifying cultivation at such a young age. It turns out he has practiced one of the strongest cultivation techniques in the world, the War God's Manual."
"As the Celestial Immortal once said, all the major dynasties have secrets of cultivating immortality, which means there are many cultivators among them. The power of this 'War God Record' must be extraordinary."
Chapter 151 Jingyan Palace
Inside the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "It seems we underestimated the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty. This old neighbor's strength is not much inferior to ours."
Ximen Chuixue and the others nodded in agreement.
Previously, when they saw that even those who had traveled to the Mystic Realm could be on the list of the most powerful martial arts masters in the Song Dynasty, they thought it was nothing special. But now it seems that although there are not many masters in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, there are indeed some truly top-notch masters.
Putting everything else aside, just look at Chuan Ying alone. If given more time to grow, he will surely become an invincible powerhouse in the future.
Not to mention, there is someone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty who is even stronger than Chuan Ying, and may have already reached the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings.
Although there are also powerful figures in the Great Longevity Realm of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Zhong has already half-fallen into the demonic path and his body is seriously injured, so he can only be considered half a Great Longevity Realm cultivator.
If the Song Dynasty truly had a normal, immortal, and powerful being, that alone would be enough to prove that the Song Dynasty was no weaker than the Ming Dynasty.
"With the Xiaoyao Sect as a cultivation sect in the past, now another cultivation technique, the War God Record, which is the strongest in the world, has emerged. The Song Dynasty really has a lot of cultivation secrets."
Yan Shisan said coldly.
Everyone nodded, their eyes all turning to Bai Yutai, awaiting Su Chen's next comments.
So far, Su Chen has revealed quite a few cultivation techniques, but he has never given such high praise to a technique as he has this time.
This made everyone even more curious about the origins of the "War God's Record" and its astonishing power.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen had already anticipated everyone's reaction, so he didn't try to be mysterious and said directly:
"Speaking of this 'War God's Record,' its origin is extremely ancient, at least dating back to ten thousand years ago, before the last Eternal Night Cataclysm."
"Ultimately, the War God's Record does not belong to the cultivation system of this era, but to the previous civilization."
"Its creator called himself the God of War, whose cultivation had long surpassed the realm of the Celestial Beings and Great Longevity, making him unimaginably powerful."
"As I said before, all things in heaven and earth have a spirit. It's not just humans; many naturally born strange beasts can also cultivate, and their strength is astonishing."
"For example, the fire qilin in Lingyun Cave is a kind of divine beast that has lived for countless years and whose strength is comparable to that of a master in the terrestrial celestial realm."
"And in the previous civilization, there once appeared an extremely terrifying dragon!"
"After sleeping for countless years, its strength has approached the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm, and may even be stronger."
"Judging from its level, this demonic dragon has already surpassed the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings."
"But it is, after all, a demon beast with limited intelligence and fewer attack methods than human cultivators, so its combat power is still slightly inferior."
"Even so, its strength was comparable to the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm, sweeping across all directions, with no one able to defeat it, and causing a world-shaking catastrophe."
"Many powerful figures in the cultivation world have tried to subdue this demonic dragon, but they have all been devoured by its demonic flames. No one can stop it."
"Until the God of War appeared and sealed the demonic dragon with power far surpassing that of the Celestials and Humans!"
"But the dragon's vitality is extremely tenacious, almost immortal, and even the God of War can't do anything about it."
"In the end, the God of War could only use his immense power to create an alternate dimension called the Palace of Startled Goose."
He said he imprisoned a dragon with boundless magic in the Jingyan Palace, using its inexhaustible life force to stabilize the balance of that strange space, and also used the excess energy to cultivate many precious elixirs.
Later, fearing that his unparalleled martial arts skills would be lost, the God of War built a Hall of the God of War in the Jingyan Palace to store the "War God's Record" he had created throughout his life.
This "Illustrated Catalogue of the God of War" is quite amazing; it is not a book or a painting, but forty-nine lifelike reliefs.
These reliefs float in mid-air above the Temple of War, covered with text and patterns that tell the fundamental laws of the universe and directly point to the true essence of martial arts.
Because the Palace of Startled Goose and the Temple of War God are hidden in another dimension, they escaped the great calamity of eternal night that destroyed everything and have remained intact to this day.
But precisely because it is so hidden, only a very few people with great fortune can find the entrance, and over the past ten thousand years, only a handful have entered.
Chuan Ying is the only person in thousands of years to successfully enter the War God Hall of Jingyan Palace.
He was extremely talented and quickly grasped the essence of the "War God's Record".
However, the "War God's Record" is so obscure and difficult to understand that even a smart person like Chuan Ying spent several years trying to fully master it and remained trapped in the War God's Temple.
When he walked out of the Temple of the God of War, it meant that he had completely comprehended the "War God's Record" and had also broken through to the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Beings!
After careful consideration, he is temporarily ranked second on the first list of the Song Dynasty.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
Although everyone has long heard that the "War God's Manual" is one of the strongest cultivation manuals in the world, it must have its unique features.
But after hearing Su Chen's explanation, everyone still couldn't help but shudder.
No one expected that the "War God's Record" actually came from the previous civilization, from before that eternal night catastrophe.
Its very survival in that catastrophe is enough to prove its preciousness.
Not to mention, its creator, the God of War, was an existence that surpassed even the immortal beings!
To date, in the history since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, only Chi You is known to have reached this level.
Chi You's power is undeniable; even Haotian could not completely destroy him, and he still roams the mortal realm to this day.
Therefore, although people know that there are higher levels above the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man, they still habitually refer to the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man as the pinnacle of martial arts in the human world.
Because there are so few people who can reach that level, it's a once-in-a-millennium event.
