The Spirit World

Chapter 336: Imperial Celebrities

The Imperial Records of Famous Men begins by saying, "Gather the best talents in the world and create a name that will last for generations."

"The Imperial Register is not a real list, but a series of stone tablets engraved with the names of heroes." An Zi took a pen and drew a mountain on the paper, and then drew rectangular stone tablets one by one.

Mei Lang stared at the paper seriously.

His name might be in the Imperial Records of Famous Men, if we wait until he has learned some moves and refined the recognition of the spiritual power in his body, and then eliminate them one by one.

Alternatively, I could go to the capital of the empire to have my title certified again. The people there must have seen me. If there was really no other effective method, this was the only way.

In fact, it is a lucky thing. If I don't have such strong spiritual power, I may never find my identity. If I find my identity, it will take a long time to recover my memory. If I am in a familiar environment, maybe I can...

Well, this kind of thing is just a guess, and there is no further plan at all.

There is nothing you can do about it. My head is empty, so how can I blame others?

“Although it is a stone tablet, it still has written records on it, including one volume on emperors, five volumes on noble families, and various volumes on the collection of heroes.” An Zi wrote the words “Emperor,” “Noble Family,” and “Heroes” next to the mountain.

"Needless to say, your title is most likely in the Heroes Collection. And the method for determining the title is as follows."

An Zi clicked on the word "Qun Ying" and continued to draw a big circle on the paper.

"Only those above the Gold Rank, that is, the Star Rank, are eligible for title determination after their rank is determined in advance. In the Heroes Collection, titles can only be determined based on the characteristics of spiritual power, not based on deeds or achievements, so it is necessary to extract the characteristics of spiritual power, such as the five major attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, transformation, exorcism, beast control, magic array, and other strange Taoist methods." An Zi wrote down these words concisely, glanced at Mei Lang, and continued: "There are also some special ones, such as light and dark attributes, various self-taught skills, martial arts, and complex classifications."

"It's really... so amazing..." There was a gleam in Mei Lang's eyes. If you heard about such things for the first time, the wonderful abilities in the world were so bizarre and dazzling.

"Well, it would be nice if I could use spiritual power, so that I could use spiritual power to let you know more intuitively what they are. But then again, there are also non-martial arts spiritual power users, but those things are too difficult to practice and improve their spiritual power levels, so it is difficult for them to have a title. In a sense, they have played an important role in the exploration of the original power of spiritual power."

"For example..."

"For example, the colored images and the frequently used thousand-mile image conversations. These are the results of cutting-edge developers' exploration of the original power of spiritual energy. Some spiritual weapons that normal people can also use are the extraction, concentration and reuse of spiritual power." Anzi continued to paint and wrote some words on the stone tablet.

"Magical..." Mei Lang looked at the piece of paper with some admiration. In fact, although there were only cold words on it, when these words were combined together, they gave people a mysterious feeling.

Whether it is a spell that looks cool but has no damaging effect, or a simple attack that kills people without them being seen, they all reveal the wisdom of the developers and users.

Their practice and their research are both historical monuments. After countless failures and polishing, they have created a variety of strange and colorful spiritual power characteristics from the originally consistent spiritual power.

Everyone uses the same spiritual power, but their moves and thinking are so different.

What is magical? This is magical!

"This mountain with the names of countless heroes engraved on it is guarded by the only great power in the empire who has truly reached the Heavenly Rank. It cannot be said that he is guarding it, but this old man no longer interacts with us mortals. He is now devoted to seeking to enter the God Realm and is happy to be at leisure on that fairy mountain." An Zi laughed: "For such a super-powerful person, almost no one can see him. He is the only one with a two-character title left, and his name is [Yixian], and his name is Dugu Liancheng."

"Yixian... Dugu... Liancheng..."

"It is worth mentioning that the chapter he is in is a collection of heroes." Anzi smiled again at Mei Lang's reaction.

"God..."

“Hahahahahaha, isn’t that amazing? This old man is already at the pinnacle of humanity, equivalent to half a god. And he is also very likely to become one of the humans who obtain the qualifications of a quasi-god…”

"It's actually one of them..." Mei Lang's jaw dropped in surprise.

Basically all his knowledge was taught by Anzi, but this aspect of knowledge simply surprised him repeatedly!
Let’s not talk about the complexity of this world, with humans, Hua people, orcs, elves, and even the undead, as well as various legends, ancient dragons, giant dragons, rare and exotic animals, and even the bronze and jade tribe. Just listening to it makes people feel refreshed.

Even the legendary demons were first discovered in a northern city of the principality fifteen years ago. So, God, such an untouchable thing, must also have the possibility of existence.

Demigods are the pinnacle of human strength. Breaking through the mortal body and becoming a true quasi-god is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.

"Well... the Principality also has a powerful demigod named [Great Wizard of Space and Time] [Flando III]. The Elf Kingdom has a strong vitality, so they have many demigods, and their god totems are basically real, so the elves are also the most religious race. And because of the years of war in the Beast Kingdom, it is estimated that there will not be any particularly powerful people appearing. There is nothing we can do about it. But then again, the small-scale war that has broken out between the Empire and the Principality over a crystal mine is unlikely to alarm the demigods. Strictly speaking, the demigods are absolutely neutral. With their strength, it is no longer a question of who can beat whom. But if they do fight, it is certain that the world will be destroyed, and the innocent will be civilians." An Zi wrote down the names of the two demigods from the Empire and the Principality.

"They don't want to fight. After practicing hard for most of their lives, it would be too cheap for this demigod to fight with other strangers of equal strength." An Zi continued to write down some names. Mei Lang looked at them and found that they were names with the same surname.

"The emperor's name does not exist among the common people. The main reason is that they are afraid that some little devils will write the name of the immortal king and bring about a fatal disaster. No one dares to write it. Their names can only be written by the royal historians. The five major families of Chen, Li, Xu, Bai, and Ning are listed as aristocratic families. Their stone tablets are placed in the back row of the emperor's stone tablet. If an unlucky disciple from aristocratic family appears..." Mei Lang raised a question before An Zi finished speaking.

He asked what bad luck was...

"That's definitely not real bad luck. I'm just saying that, for example, unfilial descendants will be removed from the family list. Their names and titles will be forcibly deleted, or even expelled from the family annals. Of course, there are many different kinds of bad luck. You can understand it."

Mei Lang nodded, not quite understanding.

Seeing this, An Zi did not explain anything further, but continued with his previous introduction.

"We are talking about the original volume, not the various lists of living imperial celebrities. The two are different. This volume covers 3,000 years, and the living list refers to the heroes who are alive now and the powerful people who were expelled from the list but are still alive."

"Will I be kicked off the list again?"

"No, generally not. Members of the Celebrity List will be punished leniently for minor offenses and severely for major offenses. However, there aren't really that many people on the Celebrity List who break the law. The Celebrity List has high subsidies. Even so, some people have been crossed off the list. It's hard to talk about this in detail. It's hard to tell if someone has bad intentions. Everyone may have bad thoughts, and there's no guarantee that everyone is completely good. Isn't that what the saying goes... The law only stipulates what you can't do. Other laws won't affect you, at least if you don't break the law."

Anzi shook his head and patted his head.

"Oh, I've gotten off topic again. Let me finish my explanation of the Record of the Celebrities."

"It's okay. Listening to what Anzi says will be of great help. I won't be completely clueless." Mei Lang said hurriedly.

"Okay, but that's just what I think. You still have to think about it yourself. What I say may not be right." An Zi continued to write a few names.

"In the family history books, apart from the Chen, Li, and Xu families, there aren't many people from the other two families. Even in the Ning family, there is only one male heir, and his name is Chang Yufeng."

"Huh? Why is your surname Chang?" Mei Lang couldn't understand why his surname was Chang when his surname was Ning.

A very strange last name.

"He took his mother's surname, so he is also a legendary figure." An Zi was excited. Whenever he mentioned a surprising name, he would spin his pen. The same was true for the demigod Yixian just now. He kept spinning his pen.

"Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!" Mei Lang was also happy to listen and was a little excited.

On the one hand, Anzi is definitely not just telling a story about one person, but telling some more niche knowledge. This is what an empty head lacks the most.

"He is the young master of the Ning family in Bailing Mountain, Dongyu. His father Ning Ji, his mother Chang Yinglan, and his uncle Ning Qing were all demigods of the empire."

"This... is too exaggerated... Didn't you say that there is only one demigod in the empire now..."

"Yes, there is one now..." An Zi sighed.

"What... happened to them?" Mei Lang didn't know how to say anything else, nor did he know how to guess where they were going, for fear of offending others.

It's really strange. From the very beginning, facing the names of these strong men, everyone's mouth is dry and tongue is parched. Even if they have not seen them, their heroic figures are almost entering their minds. Is this the reputation of the strong?
"Chang Yufeng's father was actually already a quasi-god, but because of something he gave up on becoming a quasi-god and gave up on entering the realm of gods. His son Ning Qing is rumored to have entered the devil's way and also gave up on entering the realm of gods. Only his wife Chang Yinglan became a quasi-god. [Goddess Huaqiu Longchun] Chang Yinglan. Now she has entered the realm of gods and has nothing to do with the human world. As for the other two, it's really a pity." An Zi sighed again.

"This... is indeed a pity..." Mei Lang agreed.

That is... the god that mortals have been dreaming of for a lifetime...

"Let's talk about Chang Yufeng..." An Zi wrote down the three words Chang Yufeng.

Mei Lang stared at the three words, staring at them closely. After all, he was a legendary figure. His parents and uncle alone were already three quasi-gods...

"His age remains a mystery... Rumor has it that he was born more than 100 years ago..."

"Ah? That's not a little old man anymore..."

"Indeed...hahahahahaha" Anzi laughed. They avoided the crowded people in the shelter and talked in a corner. This place was at the edge of the shelter, and basically no one would go this far.

"However, the life span of cultivators can be extended. A 100-year-old cultivator is definitely different from a 100-year-old ordinary person. Chang Yufeng was taken to Huacheng when he was just born. It seems that he was frozen using the power of time and space... He should still be a child... However, ten years ago... or a few years ago, there were rumors that he appeared in a city in the Principality... Wenti County! Yes! At that time, it was widely rumored that he was in Wenti County!"

"Wenti... County..."

"It's a city in the principality. It's very strange. Originally, this city had spring-like weather all year round. But that year, there was a heavy snowfall, and it has never been warm since then." Anzi looked at the paper and wrote down another name.

"I remember... that was the Dragon Race in Wenti County... I told you about it, the competition for selecting talents between the Empire and the Principality."

"Yes, you did. I remember it very clearly."

"After that, there was no news of him, and the young man who was suspected to be Chang Yufeng also disappeared for many years. But no matter what, Chang Yufeng will inherit the title of Lord Bai Ling. This is what I want to say. Aristocratic families all have a fixed title that needs to be inherited by their eldest son or a designated family member. Only after the inheritance will they be given more rights and privileges."

"Permissions...privileges..." Mei Lang was a little confused.

"These are titles bestowed by the royal family. They are very complicated. You just need to know that this title cannot be obtained by anyone. For example, the Lord of Bai Ling. Currently, the Lord of Bai Ling is known to have the following rights: control over the mysterious organization Wutong Division, the jurisdiction of Bai Ling Mountain and the surrounding area, the right to use the legendary weapon [Tian Feng Mu Yan Wu Lei Ji] left by the gods of the Chinese race, and..."

"Wow..." Mei Lang was so surprised that he couldn't speak...

This person who is over 100 years old, as long as he reaches the Star Level, he can get such a rich and enviable...

That’s not all, it looked like An Zi wanted to say something else… but An Zi also thought what was said was funny so he smiled even more brightly.

“Hahahahaha, you said… why did I say so much… I even laughed out of jealousy…” An Zi shook his head and continued: “This is the situation. Some of the names of aristocratic families are fixed, and they also carry pressure that ordinary people cannot bear. That’s all I have to say about aristocratic families.”

He wrote down a few names.

“Although the collection of heroes is very mixed, it is definitely much more exciting than the collection of noble families, because these are all practicing with bare hands like ordinary people like us, and the number of adventures and interesting things is simply unimaginable.”

"No wonder you know so many strange stories...it turns out you learned them all from the roster." Mei Lang also smiled.

"Hahaha, that's not the case. I've read a lot of other real knowledge. The list of the Imperial Celebrities is just a story to me." An Zi wrote down a few more names and continued, "The most typical ones are gold, wood, water, fire, earth and the spiritual power characteristics of various elements."

Mei Lang calmed himself down and was finally getting to the point he wanted to talk about. What were the characteristics of his spiritual power?

"There are many heroes in the Heroes Collection that use elements as abilities. To facilitate classification and search, those with certain attributes will be classified into the volume of that attribute, and there will be the same names in different volumes. Of course, there are also special skills from other sects, which will be classified into the same category. But if we look at the characteristics alone, attributes are still the most. Our breakthrough will start with attributes." An Zi pointed to one of the names and said: "Yue Qingxue [Darkness Chaser] is a name that can be found in both the dark attribute and light attribute volumes. And the old man's [Bloodshot Double Blades] is named after his moves and martial arts."

"Then how should we proceed? I can't even condense my spiritual energy right now..." Although Mei Lang was still somewhat excited after listening to the Imperial Celebrities Records, he was still very nervous.

"It's okay. Although I don't know how to do it either, we just need to find someone who will teach you..." An Zi put away the pen.

"You will definitely be able to extract the spiritual power characteristics by then. Above the Star Level, it is possible that you cannot extract it. Don't worry, the method I mentioned is definitely simpler than searching aimlessly. It is also not complicated. We can eliminate them one by one. It is also okay to narrow it down to a certain range, so that you can have hope."

"I don't know how to thank you..." Mei Lang looked at Anzi, the man with a broken arm, who helped him so much, solved his doubts and answered his questions. It was like he was reborn, and he had no way to repay him.

"It's okay, I'm just a teacher, but I do have a favor to ask of you." An Zi then explained the reason.

“I don’t know if I’m capable of that.”

"You can definitely do it, but we need to take care of your business first. We need to get a copy of the Imperial Records. Then we can go find that person." Anzi put away his things and stood up. Mei Lang also stood up.

"So... where is the Imperial Records?"

"Yue Qingxue's room."
