26: Chapter 26 The Golden Age, the Golden List Appears!

Atop the high platform.

Holy Lord Zhou Qing watched the tender flow of affection between Lin Yi and Su Yuxi.

Instead of shaking his head in regret like the others.

He burst into laughter, his voice filled with delight and gratification.

"Hahaha! Good!"

"What a line—'ten thousand treasures cannot compare to even a fraction of you'!"

This sudden burst of laughter.

Instantly silenced the noisy square.

Everyone turned their gaze toward this unfathomable Holy Lord.

They did not understand why he was laughing.

The powerhouses of various major forces, who had previously asserted that Lin Yi would never achieve greatness.

Were now filled with bewilderment and confusion.

Could it be that the Holy Lord of Tianxuan.

Also thought his own Saint was a fool blinded by love?

Laughing out of sheer anger?

Just as everyone was wondering.

Zhou Qing's gaze swept across the field, and an invisible Imperial Might slowly spread out.

His voice was like a great bell, resonating in people's hearts.

"Do you all think that Lin Yi's actions are because he is trapped by love, or because he is foolish?"

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

He suddenly flicked his sleeve, his voice rising sharply.

"A true powerhouse never fears bonds; they understand how to protect!"

"A true Emperor is not a solitary figure without emotions or desires.

But a pillar of heaven capable of shouldering everything and shielding those they care about!"

"Imperial Scriptures and Imperial Pills are indeed precious.

But compared to an invincible Dao Heart that knows how to share and protect, what do they count for?!"

Every word Zhou Qing spoke was like the sound of the Great Dao.

Striking hard against everyone's hearts.

The guests who had previously mocked Lin Yi.

Now felt their faces burning, overwhelmed with shame.

Indeed!

They had only seen the immediate gains and losses.

But had ignored the spirit and breadth of mind a true future Emperor should possess!

Watching the complex expressions of the crowd below, the smile on Zhou Qing's face deepened.

He turned to look at Lin Yi, his eyes full of approval.

"Lin Yi, you have done well!"

"You have passed my final test!"

"These three treasures were originally prepared for you by the Holy Land."

"The so-called 'choose one of three' was merely my way of seeing.

Faced with the path to the heavens versus the love in your heart, what choice would you make?"

"You did not disappoint me!"

At this point.

Zhou Qing's voice once again spread through the venue, filled with an unquestionable dominance.

"Today, I announce!"

"The Hongmeng Heaven-Opening Scripture and the dragon blood body-forging pill shall both be bestowed upon Saint Lin Yi!"

"The Saint of my Heavenly Profound Holy Land deserves nothing but the best!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue completely boiled over!

All the Disciples of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, after a brief moment of shock.

Erupted into unprecedented cheers!

"The Holy Lord is wise!"

"The Saint is invincible!"

Three Imperial Rank treasures, all belonging to Lin Yi alone!

What glory!

What a grand gesture!

Those from various major forces who had come to observe.

Were completely stunned by Zhou Qing's astounding boldness.

Imperial Rank resources.

Those were opportunities that even Quasi-Emperors extremely craved!

But what about Zhou Qing?

He had actually sought out three for Lin Yi at once!

He was truly willing to pay any price to nurture him!

At this moment, the way they looked at Lin Yi.

No longer held the slightest bit of contempt or regret.

Only the deepest wariness and awe remained.

A Prodigy who was already monstrous to the extreme.

Now bolstered by two more Imperial Rank treasures.

In the future Desolate Domain.

No, in the future Three Thousand Dao Domains.

Who could still compete with him?!

Luo Qinghan watched all this calmly, looking at her radiant Disciple.

A world-shaking smile bloomed on her stunningly beautiful face.

Su Yuxi's beautiful eyes were wide, and her small mouth was slightly agape.

Her heart was filled with immense happiness and shock.

So, he hadn't given up on the Great Dao.

Instead, he had already grasped everything firmly in his own hands!

However, just as the atmosphere of the entire ceremony reached its peak.

A sudden change occurred!

Rumble!

Throughout the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

Whether in the prosperous Holy Cities or the deathly silent forbidden zones.

Or even in the depths of the boundless Universe.

Every living being, at this moment.

Clearly felt a violent tremor originating from the world's Origin!

It was as if a supreme existence that had slept for eons.

Was slowly waking up.

Inside the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Everyone looked up at the sky in horror.

The previously clear sky, at some unknown point.

Had been shrouded by a layer of boundless golden light.

That golden light was sacred, majestic, ancient, and vast!

An indescribable pressure of the Great Dao descended from the heavens.

The moment it appeared, it rapidly enveloped the entire world!

Under this pressure, let alone ordinary Disciples.

Even Quasi-Emperor powerhouses like Zhou Qing and Luo Qinghan.

Felt a sense of insignificance and awe originating from the depths of their Souls.

"This... this is..."

"The three thousand extreme dao list!"

Zhou Qing's pupils shrank as he stared fixedly at the sky, his voice full of shock.

"The legends are actually true!"

"According to records, only when the Golden Great Era is fully opened will this list appear in the world!"

"It will evaluate the potential, combat power, and Luck of contemporary young prodigies, and determine their ranking!"

"Throughout history, those who can make it onto this list are all peerless prodigies qualified to compete for the Emperor's Path!!"

"From the looks of it, the Golden Great Era is truly about to arrive!"

Zhou Qing's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Instantly, it set off a massive wave of excitement.

"What? This is the legendary three thousand extreme dao list?!"

"Heavens! My life has been worth it!"

"To actually witness such an eternal spectacle in my final years!"

"Indeed! This list has not appeared for millions of years.

It seems the future Three Thousand Dao Domains are about to get lively!"

Everyone was boiling with excitement, their faces written with fanaticism and thrill.

While everyone was discussing.

The endless golden light that spanned hundreds of millions of miles of the star river began to slowly converge and contract.

Finally.

Under the gazes of billions of beings who were shocked beyond measure.

It condensed into an incomparably massive golden list.

Then, it slowly unfurled across the sky!

Upon the list, Chaos Qi swirled, and Dao runes flickered and flowed.

As if it recorded all the secrets of the Universe from birth to destruction.

An ancient and majestic aura diffused from the list.

Announcing to the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains an unprecedentedly.

Brilliant yet cruel Golden Great Era had officially begun!

Countless old monsters who had been in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years were startled awake at this moment.

One after another, they cast their shaken Divine Thoughts.

Within various immortal orthodoxies, longevity families, and Ancient Imperial Clans.

Terrifying auras shot into the sky, gazing toward the horizon.

They knew what the appearance of this list meant.

The three thousand extreme dao list!

According to legend.

Only peerless prodigies who have cultivated a certain Dao to the extreme of their generation.

Are qualified to ascend it!

This is the stage of the Great Age, the battlefield of prodigies.

And even more so, the burial ground of monsters!

From this day forth.

In the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

The true struggle for supremacy among prodigies is about to begin!

At this time, the powerhouses of various major forces all had solemn expressions.

Their eyes stared fixedly at that golden list, their breathing becoming hurried.

They knew that the rankings on this list.

Would directly determine the power structure of the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains.

For the next several thousands, or even ten thousand years!

For the prodigies and monsters on the list.

They had to use every possible means to recruit them!
