Chapter 376: Hidden Dragon Four Extremes!
And in fact, it wasn't entirely a lie.
If possible, he still preferred to develop quietly and then amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
But reality didn't allow it.
Fame was important!
At least, others' assessment of him was often based on this 'fame'.
It was because of Chen Yuan's rising rank on the Hidden Dragon List that he gained the attention of the Dao God Palace. Su Ziyue even made a special trip to Nanling Prefecture to find him and give him treasures for protection.
It was because of his increasingly terrifying talent that Jiang He repeatedly helped him.
Did he really think he had such a big face?
Wasn't it all because he showed his talent that they valued him?
So, talent was important!
But at the same time, this 'fame' was also not important.
Chen Yuan had already proved his strength and talent to others, and everything else was just embellishment now.
A tree that stands tall in the forest will be felled by the wind!
If he really directly ascended to the top three, or even the top of the Hidden Dragon List, the Yun family and others who had grudges against him would definitely eliminate him at all costs.
So 'fame' was also not important.
Because... he already had it.
There was no need to prove anything further.
Xiang Jing looked at Chen Yuan thoughtfully. As the landlord of the Ascending Immortal Tower managing the Qing and Shu prefectures, who had seen countless people, he could naturally discern that Chen Yuan's words were half true and half false.
But even with the falsehood, he still felt that this child was extraordinary.
The top three on the Hidden Dragon List were completely different concepts from those outside the top three.
Especially in recent years, due to reasons such as Zuo Chengzong, Wei Wuyai, and Xuan Ming, the value of the top three on the Hidden Dragon List had been infinitely amplified, surpassing the other top ten existences by a level.
Such a great reputation, Chen Yuan said he would give up, and he gave it up.
It was indeed worth him calling him extraordinary.
At the same time, he was more optimistic about Chen Yuan's future. Only a person with such a character could reach the highest level. He had been stationed in Qing and Shu prefectures for decades and had seen many geniuses.
There were no more than five people who could have this kind of mind.
And without exception, all of those people had great achievements.
Among them was Sword God Jiang He.
His talent was that he came from behind. He didn't even get the first place on the Hidden Dragon List back then, but now he has become one of the top three on the Wind and Cloud List. Hualing Realm was definitely not his limit.
Even the one in Martial Emperor City had said that if Jiang He didn't fall.
In a few decades, he would definitely be an unparalleled True Monarch!
And that person's vision had never been wrong for hundreds of years, so he rushed to befriend Jiang He. It wasn't because Jiang He took the spiritual tea from him,
But because he took the initiative to send the tea leaves from the spiritual tea tree in Martial Emperor City to Jiang He, and even feared that he would not accept it.
Now, he saw Jiang He's shadow in Chen Yuan again.
It was said that Jiang He also valued Chen Yuan very much, presumably also seeing his potential.
"I heard you have a good relationship with Chen Bai?" Xiang Jing changed the subject, not continuing on the previous topic.
Since Chen Yuan himself wanted to be ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, he would not have any objections. In fact, this was also the case. Those people in the Ascending Immortal Tower who specialized in assessing strength.
Indeed thought that Chen Yuan was still a little behind Wei Wuyai now.
It wasn't even four or six as he said, but three or seven.
Of course, the reason for this assessment was because Chen Yuan's cultivation had not yet reached the peak of the Profound Realm, while both Wei Wuyai and Xuan Ming Zuo Chengzong,
Had entered the peak of the Profound Realm for several years.
They were even only half a step away from forming a core.
They had been suppressing their cultivation just for the Ascending Immortal Battle.
They were just some differences in strength. In terms of talent and potential alone, the people in the Ascending Immortal Tower believed that Chen Yuan was not even inferior to Zuo Chengzong, who was first on the Hidden Dragon List.
Some people also lamented, saying that if Chen Yuan had reached the peak of the Profound Realm a year ago, he would definitely be a strong contender for the Ascending Immortal Fruit. As for now, the hope was slim.
Unless he raised his cultivation to the peak of the Profound Realm before the Ascending Immortal Battle.
But how was this possible?
Among the three realms of the Profound Realm, the most difficult to cultivate was the 'Heavenly Palace Divine', unlike the first two realms, if there were sufficient pills, one could increase their cultivation in a short period of time.
Elixirs and spiritual objects that could help in this level of cultivation have always been very rare.
This hope was very slim.
"It's indeed okay. Why, does Brother Ye also have a relationship with you, Senior?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
He had long known that Ye Chenbai's background was extraordinary, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
"Chen Bai has been watched over by Xiang from a young age."
Xiang Jing smiled faintly.
"It seems that Brother Ye's background is also very extraordinary." Chen Yuan did not hide it.
"It's still okay, but unfortunately, Chen Bai is not a direct descendant, and he doesn't receive enough attention."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart trembled.
As far as he knew, the city lord of Martial Emperor City seemed to be surnamed Ye.
Ye Chenbai.... was really extraordinary!
!
He knew that Ye Chenbai might have some background, but he had never thought about it in this regard. He didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it.
You must know that Donghai Martial Emperor City is one of the top ten immortal sects, and it is a very powerful one.
It's a pity, if Ye Chenbai was really from the main line of the Ye family of Martial Emperor City, then his background would really be too terrifying.
But thinking about it, if Ye Chenbai was really from the main line of the Ye family of Martial Emperor City, then Ye would probably not be a small landlord of Nanling Prefecture.
And he naturally had no chance to meet him.
A collateral line made sense, with a background, but not as big as imagined.
Coupled with his surname, it really had a bit of the protagonist's flavor.
"Thank you for your explanation, Senior. Chen had some guesses before, but never thought about it in this regard."
"Since you are a good friend of Chen Bai, you can be considered as a junior of Xiang, and if you have anything in the future, you can come to me with this thing. Xiang will not refuse if he can help."
Saying that, he placed a golden Ascending Immortal Token on the table.
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, staring at the golden token with flickering eyes.
He naturally knew the value of this thing. When he first met Ye Chenbai, the other party gave him a white Ascending Immortal Token out of friendship.
That thing would only be given after doing ten deals in the Ascending Immortal Tower.
This was his greatest authority.
Above the white Ascending Immortal Token, there was also a blue Ascending Immortal Token, which was a symbol of status, but Chen Yuan had never used it, so he had always used the white Ascending Immortal Token.
As for this golden Ascending Immortal Token, he had also heard of it. Only Pill Realm masters were qualified to be given this token. This was just a qualification, not every master could have a golden Ascending Immortal Token.
Only those who were valued by the Ascending Immortal Tower or had status could obtain this token.
He didn't expect Xiang Jing to really think highly of him.
He directly gave him such a precious Ascending Immortal Token. With this thing, Chen Yuan could even see the landlord of the sub-tower who manages Qing and Shu prefectures at any time through the Ascending Immortal Towers in various places.
It was said that there was an even higher level of purple Ascending Immortal Token.
Only Hualing Realm experts could have it.
It was similar to the division of the Sky Patrol Division, divided into four levels: purple, gold, blue, and white.
"In that case, then thank you, Senior."
Chen Yuan weighed it for a moment and still accepted this thing.
Xiang Jing nodded slightly and smiled:
"It doesn't matter."
His original intention was also to befriend Chen Yuan, a genius with great potential. For this reason, he also specially brought up Ye Chenbai to get closer to him, and even established a generational status as a junior.
It didn't matter whether Chen Yuan admitted it or not, as long as he knew it.
If Chen Yuan really grew up in the future, he would make a lot of money. Even if he fell in the middle, he would only lose an Ascending Immortal Token.
In fact, those in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List would also be given this thing.
Chen Yuan was ranked fourth, but his talent was not bad, so it was worth it!
After that, Chen Yuan discussed some things with Xiang Jing until he finished drinking that pot of high-quality spiritual tea, and then he said goodbye. He never did loss-making deals.
And those intelligence that Xiang Jing promised Chen Yuan would also be sent to him by someone within a day.
Xiang Jing looked at Chen Yuan's departing back with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering.
'Creak.'
The landlord of the Tangshan sub-tower walked respectfully behind him and said in a low voice:
"Landlord."
Xiang Jing turned around and stared at him and said:
"Send a secret letter to list Chen Yuan's intelligence as Class A top secret, on par with the top three on the Hidden Dragon List."
The reason why he didn't immediately say the intelligence of the top three on the Hidden Dragon List was because those were Class A top secrets, and ordinary Ascending Immortal Tower landlords had no right to read them.
Only a sub-tower landlord like him who manages a region was qualified.
It wasn't that they didn't sell intelligence anymore.
But it was like this.... more expensive!
"Yes, your subordinate obeys."
That person quickly responded and then exited the top floor.
Only Xiang Jing murmured Chen Yuan's name in his heart.
This time he came, in addition to discussing some things about the ranking of the Hidden Dragon List with Chen Yuan, he also wanted to explore Chen Yuan's details. It was really because the other party's rise was too fast.
So fast.... somewhat abnormal.
It would naturally arouse the suspicion of the people in the Ascending Immortal Tower.
His cultivation was also improving too rapidly. Not to say that there were no predecessors, but there were probably not many people who could compare with him. Outsiders might not value this aspect,
But the Ascending Immortal Tower, as an intelligence organization, could see the secrets in it at a glance.
Originally, the people in the Ascending Immortal Tower thought that Chen Yuan was overdrawing his potential and swallowing pills, but he did not sense any floating aura on Chen Yuan.
This meant that the other party was likely to have really cultivated step by step.
Of course, there was another possibility, that was that the other party was eating spiritual objects as meals, devouring them every once in a while, so that his cultivation could soar so terrifyingly.
But how was this possible?
Unless the other party was God's own son!
Thinking of this, Xiang Jing suddenly laughed. How could he think more and more outrageous and even think of this?
In fact, this possibility was almost non-existent.
You must know that even the Donghai Martial Emperor City, one of the top ten immortal sects, could not allow its younger disciples to swallow spiritual objects so continuously.
First, this thing was precious and rare in the world.
Second, even if one swallowed spiritual objects, ordinary people did not have the ability to keep swallowing without problems. If there really was someone who could do this, their talent would be unimaginable.
In the end, Xiang Jing could only attribute it to Chen Yuan's late bloomer, mediocre and unremarkable before the age of twenty, and suddenly exploded his potential after the age of twenty and soared all the way.
Such things were not uncommon in the world.
Because of this, it was even more necessary to befriend him, and such people could generally have considerable achievements in the future.
......
......
After coming out of the Ascending Immortal Tower, Chen Yuan went straight to the Sky Patrol Division's secret room.
The spiritual power contained in the previous pot of spiritual tea was very strong, at least it was very strong for him now, far exceeding the previous one. Xiang Jing was right,
Even if the Tai Xuan Sutra was operating normally, he could feel the hidden wounds were being repaired bit by bit.
Naturally, it was impossible to waste it.
In the end, Chen Yuan was in seclusion for four hours, until the evening, before he completely digested this spiritual energy. The help it brought was also huge,
His injuries had basically recovered now.
The rest was to slowly recuperate....
When Chen Yuan came out of the secret room, the guards Yue Shan and others told Chen Yuan that the people from the Ascending Immortal Tower had come and brought some things, which were now placed in the Sky Patrol Hall.
Without Chen Yuan's order, no one dared to check.
Hearing this news, Chen Yuan quickly came to the Sky Patrol Hall. Sure enough, it was the specific intelligence about the top three on the Hidden Dragon List. In addition, Xiang Jing also attached the intelligence of some other people.
The intelligence of those in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List were all here!
Added up, there was a thick stack.
Chen Yuan first opened the intelligence of Zuo Chengzong. It was similar to what he knew, but more detailed. Zuo Chengzong was born with a Purple Thunder Heavenly Heart, not the legendary Innate Thunder Body.
It described in detail the evaluation of Zuo Chengzong and his life experience. It could be said that everything that could be found was on it.
Even some of Zuo Chengzong's methods were introduced.
After reading it once, Chen Yuan opened the intelligence of Xuan Ming, who was second on the Hidden Dragon List. What was rumored in the Jianghu was not groundless. The Ascending Immortal Tower determined that this person was the reincarnation of a Luohan who had passed away many years ago in the Spirit Mountain.
At the age of three, he broke the mystery of the fetal heart, and since then, he has been out of control.
His body refining cultivation had long reached the realm of Blood Qi Like Dragon, and it was even speculated that Xuan Ming was now cultivating towards the indestructible body of Vajra, and he had already made considerable progress.
Wei Wuyai, who was third, was born with a demon eye and was the holy son of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the disciple of the current palace master of the Heavenly Demon Palace. From a young age, he showed methods far beyond ordinary people.
He suppressed another saintess so much that she couldn't lift her head.
His weapon was an unparalleled Demon Halberd, and it had even reached the level of a divine weapon. It had been nurtured by him since he was a child, and all of his demonic skills were inherited from the current palace master.
The Ascending Immortal Tower evaluated him as having great hope of becoming the next palace master of the Heavenly Demon Palace.
It had to be said that the intelligence ability of the Ascending Immortal Tower was indeed unparalleled and unmatched. Even the direct disciples of the other top ten immortal sects could find out such detailed intelligence.
What about him?
Were all his intelligence since birth found out?
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly wanted to ask Xiang Jing.
Since he returned to Pingan County last time, he understood that perhaps his background was also very extraordinary, as if it had been erased by someone, everything was very vague.
Even now, he had to sometimes see the things he left behind to remember that he still had an uncle....
It would be really interesting if he was found out by the people of the Ascending Immortal Tower.
After being silent for a long time, Chen Yuan continued to look down.
The current fourth on the Hidden Dragon List was named Gu He, who was the direct descendant of the Gu family, one of the five great families.
The Gu family was almost the top of the five aristocratic families.
It was said that its foundation was very deep and it was once able to compete with the Sima family, but unfortunately, it was later surpassed by the Sima family and suppressed.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In comparison, the Gu family is still prosperous today.
Ranked fifth was Dao Xuansheng, the current direct descendant of Biyou Palace. There was relatively little information about him, and he rarely showed up in the Jianghu. There were very few battle records.
The Ascending Immortal Tower determined that his strength was very strong and he must have hidden something.
Ranked sixth was Bai Changqing, Chen Yuan's old opponent, who was born with a pure Yang Sword Body and was the current senior brother of the younger generation of Mount Shu. His strength was qualified to be in the top five.
Ranked seventh was him. The introduction above was also very detailed, writing down every battle record of him after he was born in Pingan County. sutanxs.com
Only his background had nothing written on it.
Ranked eighth was the big sucker, no, it was Chen Yuan's good brother Shangguan Yu. This was skipped. He already knew Shangguan very well.
Ranked ninth was Yu Qingyan from the Goddess Palace. The Ascending Immortal Tower evaluated her as being a heavenly beauty, rare in the world, and her cultivation strength was also no less than that of a man.
It was said that Gu He, who was fourth, had been pursuing this woman, but had always been rejected.
Because the disciples of the Goddess Palace never marry out!
If they marry, not only will their sect name be removed, but they will also have to abandon their cultivation.
Ranked tenth was Xu Jing, a contemporary disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, one of the five surnames and seven sects. His strength was also quite extraordinary, but compared to others, he was still a little bit behind.
Except for those in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List, Chen Yuan only had a brief understanding.
In fact, he didn't pay too much attention to it. What he really valued was those in the top three....
After another two days passed.
The Ascending Immortal Tower finally released the latest issue of the Hidden Dragon List, with Chen Yuan ranked fourth. For a time, it caused a huge storm, and many people thought that the Ascending Immortal Tower was unfair.
Even if Chen Yuan was not ranked first, he should at least be in the top three, right?
In the end, he was only ranked fourth, which really caused a stir.
The fundamental reason for the storm was that those in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List did not have the record of killing masters listed. Chen Yuan was the only one in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List who had it.
In the end, a landlord of a sub-tower of the Ascending Immortal Tower came forward to explain that those in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List all had the means to kill masters. The Ascending Immortal Tower had assessed this point.
Chen Yuan's ranking fourth was not a problem.
As soon as this happened, many people wanted to see Chen Yuan's reaction, whether he would overturn the Tangshan Ascending Immortal Tower. After all, his character had always been tyrannical and could not tolerate a grain of sand.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Yuan did not react at all, as if this matter did not exist.
It made Yue Shan and others somewhat indignant and were scolded by Chen Yuan before the matter was settled.
But what was settled was only a part. There were still many people who thought that the Ascending Immortal Tower was unfair. Regardless of Chen Yuan's character, his strength was definitely in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List.
For this reason, some well-meaning people in the Jianghu also called Chen Yuan, Wei Wuyai, Xuan Ming, and Zuo Chengzong the Four Extremes of the Hidden Dragon!
The meaning was that the real strength of the four of them was between each other, and there was actually no distinction between high and low. Who was the first on the Hidden Dragon List was not important, and in the end, it would still depend on the result of the Ascending Immortal Battle.
The Four Extremes of the Hidden Dragon was a bit of a storm in the Jianghu.
Many people were looking forward to the collision between the four of them.
Some people said that this Ascending Immortal Battle would be the most prosperous one in nearly a hundred years.
The Four Extremes of the Hidden Dragon, if placed in other Ascending Immortal Battles, would definitely be the first on the Ascending Immortal List.
And the Four Extremes of the Hidden Dragon also replaced the previous reputation of the top three on the Hidden Dragon List.
These remarks also made Chen Yuan's idea of wanting to keep a low profile a bit of a mistake.
