From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

This fireball is completely different from ordinary innate fire.

It is red in color and has an extremely high temperature, like a small star. The heat emanating from the surrounding area is enough to melt the void and even burn it into nothingness!

"This is the immortal classic..."

The corners of Xiao Minghuang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful arc.

...

Deep in Dongling, there are mountains and misty clouds.

A bottomless abyss stretches across it, as if extending from another space, hanging between the mountains.

Above the sky, a figure disappeared in the clouds. He stood quietly, not attracting anyone's attention, as if he had merged into one with the world.

Above the abyss, countless magical weapons for flying in the sky were suspended, dividing the sky into four directions. The auras of cultivators from all over the world were intertwined, seeming to fill the sky.

Every breath represents a king.

They may come from some supreme holy land, some immortal family, or some immortal dynasty.

Every once in a while, a giant warship would come flying from afar and anchor at the edge of the abyss or on the top of a mountain.

"Look, there's another person coming in over there!"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard in the distance, and an extremely luxurious ship broke through the air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

On the deck of the ship, a beautiful figure appeared.

She has a slender figure, skin as white as snow, and is wearing a bright yellow dress. She has a stunning appearance and an ethereal aura, like a goddess descending to earth.

337. Five Directions and One World

She stepped into the air, with faint starlight flashing all over her body. She looked elegant and noble, not like an ordinary person, and people could not feel the slightest desire to disrespect her.

All the monks present, both men and women, were impressed by her bearing and stunning beauty.

Even some of the kings who were already old and frail couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

“Good manners!”

"Who is this?"

Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

"Princess Xiao, a disciple of the Lord of the Sun Palace of the Holy Academy!" someone explained.

"Princess Xiao is the most beautiful woman in Dongji Zhongtian!"

"Indeed, not only is her beauty the best in the world, but her talent is also amazing. She is the champion of the Tiangang Trial!"

"I heard that she had already comprehended the realm of swordsmanship when she was in the Yuantai realm. This is truly unheard of!"

"Not only that! It is said that she is also proficient in battle formations, refining equipment, and alchemy... In short, she knows everything!"

"Such an extraordinary talent, amazing ability, simply unprecedented!"

"The only disciple of the Lord of the Sun Temple is destined to be in charge of the Holy Academy in the future!"

"I heard that Princess Xiao has only been practicing for more than 20 years, right?"

"Tsk tsk, our Dongji Province actually produced such a top-notch monster. We are lucky for Dongji!"

The crowd was talking about it, all showing admiration.

But some people hold different opinions.

"Isn't it just my luck that the Lord of the Sun Palace accepted me as his disciple? I can do that too!"

"To be honest, I think Princess Xiao is just average looking!"

"I'm just a passerby, I have to say it, you guys are too shameless, how can you be so shameless?"

"Old licker, die soon!"

"Bah! I'm licking someone's personality charm, what the hell is it to you?"

"You're already old but you're still licking a girl. You're going to lose your gold coins!"

"You little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

"Dad... stop talking!"

While everyone was talking, Xiao Minghuang walked in the air and soon landed on the edge of the sky abyss, his eyes sweeping over all the cultivators present.

All of a sudden, all the monks present shut up and dared not make a sound.

This Princess Xiao is too powerful.

She just stood there calmly, yet she gave people tremendous pressure.

Especially the pair of starry eyes, which seemed to contain the starry sky of the universe, deep and infinite, and like two bright stars, brilliant and dazzling, making people can't help but feel insignificant.

Just one look at her and you will be deeply conquered, intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.

At this time, the disciples of Tianji Holy Land shouted:

"The Hidden Dragon Ranking has been updated! Everyone, come and have a look!"

The monks looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge spiritual light emerging, which turned into a list. Names shining with golden light gradually appeared one by one.

The Hidden Dragon List was jointly created by the Tianji Holy Land and the Baiwen Pavilion. It records the one hundred most outstanding king-level geniuses in the five realms of Zhongtian, Dongji, Nanhuang, Xitu, and Beihai.

These geniuses include those within the Holy Academy, the aristocratic dynasties of the holy places, the six evil paths of the Southern Wilderness, the Buddhist sects of the Western Lands, the alliances of the North Sea, and even some hidden demon tribes and geniuses at the king level in the forbidden areas of life.

Of course, because the news about the hidden demon clan and the life forbidden zone is rarely known to the outside world, the information about this part is not updated in a timely manner.

For example, the only genius on the list in the Life Forbidden Zone, Qilinzi, ranks fifth!

Thirty years ago, when Qilinzi first entered the realm of king, he killed a saintly beast with his physical body alone, took its essence and blood, and used it to nourish his body.

Thirty years later, no one knew how powerful he was.

Therefore, every update of the Hidden Dragon List would cause a stir and attract the attention of countless cultivators.

Hidden Dragon List:

100th place: Han Li

Realm: First level of the realm of the king of life and death

Affiliation: Dongji Holy Academy

Reason for being on the list: He has multiple trump cards, and once took a full-strength attack from a Saint of the First Heaven without any damage, and successfully escaped. It is estimated that he has a combat power close to the tenth level of the King of Life and Death.

The first name to appear on the list was the genius from Dongji Holy Academy.

"The reason for being on the list is actually because he ran away quickly, tsk tsk!"

"Don't be jealous. He was able to withstand a Saint's full-strength attack without any damage. Can you imagine his trump card?"

"Hey, who is this person? There is such a person in our Holy Academy? How come I have never heard of him?"

Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Xiao Minghuang's past buried deep in his memory resurfaced.

"I didn't expect this guy to have entered the King Realm."

A smile appeared on Xiao Minghuang's lips, and a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

There are as many as one hundred names on the Hidden Dragon List, and this last one did not attract much attention from the crowd and passed by quickly.

In a remote corner, a young man with an ordinary appearance showed a bright smile on his face...

No. 99: Xia Lan

Affiliation: Dongji Taichu Holy Land

Realm: Sixth level of the realm of life and death

Reason for being on the list: A true disciple of the Taichu Holy Land, with combat power that spans five small realms

"Senior Sister Xia! Senior Sister, you are on the list! Look quickly!"

The girl next to her was surprised and excited and shouted.

"I see it, I see it..." A slightly more mature woman also had a look of joy on her face.

...

No. 77: Chu Mo

Affiliation: Southern Wilderness Netherworld

Realm: The eighth level of the realm of the king of life and death

Reason for being on the list: He once sneaked into Dongji and single-handedly ambushed and killed thirteen seventh to eleventh level kings, then withstood an attack from a saint and escaped across the border.

The ranking reached 77th place, and finally a cultivator who did not belong to Dongji Zhongtian appeared, which also aroused the anger of all the cultivators present.

"What's going on? How could a king-level evil demon sneak into Dongji and commit crimes?!"

"The crime was not over yet, but he was allowed to escape? What do the demon-suppressing elders of the Holy Academy do for a living?"

"Why? Do you have any problem with our Holy House elders?"

“...I dare not..." The man smiled awkwardly and lowered his head quickly.

Everyone knows that as the battle situation between the two worlds becomes more intense, more and more evil demons will sneak into Dongji. Blindly blaming the Holy Academy for failing to eliminate demons will only lead to greater disunity within Dongji Zhongtian.

Therefore, no one responded to his words.

...

No. 49: Mu Xiaoyin

Affiliation: Muling Clan

Realm: Twelveth Level of the Realm of King of Life and Death

Reason for being on the list: Once forced a saint to perish!

This simple sentence shocked countless people.

"Being in the realm of a king, going against the saint is too terrible!"

"I heard that the Wood Spirits have a bloodline ability that can take away people's years. It is like the way of time. It is extremely mysterious and terrifying!"

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Legend has it that the Wood Spirits evolved from the roots of the World Tree. Their roots are ancient and powerful, so it's not surprising that they have any methods."

...

44th place: Cai Ji

Affiliation: Kunyuan Holy Land

Realm: Twelveth Level of the Realm of King of Life and Death

...

No. 42: Xu Kun

Affiliation: Tianji Holy Land

Realm: Twelveth Level of the Realm of King of Life and Death

...

As names appeared on the gold list one by one, the disciples of the forces to which the names on the list belonged felt very excited. They belonged to the same force as the geniuses and felt proud of it!

338. Eleventh place: Ye Ruoshui

However, some disciples from various forces were feeling nervous. They knew the level of their best disciples and knew that it was impossible for them to surpass those talented disciples who were already on the list.

So far, nearly two-thirds of the geniuses on the list are from Zhongtian Dongji, and this result is not unexpected.

Dongji and Zhongtian are blessed with beautiful natural environment and rich spiritual energy. Most of the cultivators here are confident and proud, and their methods of cultivation are extremely rich, including refining precious natural materials and treasures, as well as all kinds of elixirs, magic weapons, formations and other dazzling unorthodox methods.

The Southern Wasteland was different. It was a land with a harsh environment and thin spiritual energy. Even the most barren place in the Eastern Pole was a paradise compared to the Southern Wasteland. In order to practice, the Southern Wasteland monks often used all means and used various evil means to improve their cultivation. In this long-term cruel environment, they gradually lost their humanity, which was why the Southern Wasteland monks were called evil demons.

As for the Western Land and the North Sea, although they are also two big worlds, the former is mostly half desert and half snow-capped mountains and glaciers, and the environment is even worse than that of the Southern Wilderness; the latter is an endless ocean with only a few scattered islands, and there is no force that can be called the Taoist school of immortality at all.

Dongji and Zhongtian are connected as one, occupying the best place in the five directions and one world. It is rich in resources and has high-quality cultivators. This has created the current situation of flourishing of hundreds of flowers and endless emergence of genius disciples, which is by no means comparable to the wild places in the other three realms.

As the list unfolded, some well-known geniuses from major forces were gradually exposed, such as Jiang Shenyu, the son of God from the Rongzhou Jiang family, who ranked 37th.
