112: Announce two lists, the mysterious emperor

As Xu Ming and the others left, only Yun Qian remained in the main hall.

"Dark Moon, here, for you!"

Xu Qing spent ten thousand family points to exchange for a Low Grade Spatial Core, then tossed it to Dark Moon. The latter joyfully accepted it. For Dark Moon, who was still a cub, she loved these shiny spherical objects the most.

Yun Qian couldn't bear to watch. The dignified Dark Moon Tiger, a Royal Bloodline and a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert, was actually being raised like a kitten by her owner.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for investing in a Family Spirit Beast, triggering a thirty-thousand-fold return, returning two High Grade Spatial Cores and two Medium Grade Spatial Cores."

Not bad!

Xu Qing's eyes lit up. Although Low Grade Spatial Cores were hard to find, they could be found in Secret Realms formed by heaven and earth, or in the small worlds created after the demise of a Sovereign.

However, for Medium Grade Spatial Cores, apart from searching in a Sovereign's small world, one could only enter the Chaotic Flow Space. This type of spatial region intersected with the World Sea, containing many spatial turbulences, some of which even Heavenly Sovereigns dared not face.

As for High Grade Spatial Cores, besides obtaining them from the grand worlds formed after a Saint's demise, one could only retrieve them from the River of Space. This River of Space was a river composed of spatial turbulences, within which countless Secret Realms and worlds evolved, not lacking in powerful existences.

Furthermore, the River of Space also contained many powerful spatial Strange Beast (anomalous beasts), posing numerous threats. Some dangers were even unmanageable for Saint giants, and High Grade Spatial Cores were also crucial for the evolution of a small world into a grand world.

Pristine Grade Spatial Cores were even rarer. Legend has it they were formed in the depths of the River of Space, under special environmental conditions, nurtured by heaven and earth over countless years. It is said that one might not appear even in tens of millions of years.

"This is a Pristine Grade Spatial Core, you can take it and use it!"

Xu Qing handed a Pristine Grade Spatial Core to Yun Qian.

Using a Pristine Grade Spatial Core to create a small world could be said to forge an unparalleled Foundation for that small world.

As for Xu Ming and the others, their identity cards above the Royal Realm came with a small world suited to the Martial Artist. Of course, the Spatial Core used for this small world was determined by the person's identity card.

The ones Xu Qing chose for them were all Low Grade Spatial Cores. The price of a Medium Grade Spatial Core was comparable to an Early Stage Mystic Sovereign's cultivation, and High Grade ones were even more expensive.

Because a small world crafted with a High Grade Spatial Core was equivalent to forging a Saint's Foundation.

"Master, is this a Pristine Grade Spatial Core?"

Yun Qian was greatly astonished. As a Silver Snow Sky Dragon, he possessed a Bloodline Legacy and could naturally discern that this was a Pristine Grade Spatial Core.

"Indeed!" Xu Qing nodded.

"Master, this item is too precious!"

Even though Yun Qian knew Xu Qing's methods, he still felt this Pristine Grade Spatial Core was too hot to handle.

"I can have as many of these as I want, you don't need to worry about me not having any. Your peace of mind and focus on improving your strength is what matters!" Xu Qing said grandly.

The Yao Beast Race doesn't need to comprehend as many Laws or construct Domains like the Human Race. They only need to continuously improve their cultivation. However, their innate Bloodline talent combined with their Physical Body, etc., results in a comprehensive combat power stronger than most Human Race Martial Artists of the same level.

Especially those with extraordinary Bloodlines among the Yao Beasts, such as the Royal Family.

Just like Dark Moon, she just ate and slept, played after waking up, and didn't seem to Cultivate, but she quickly reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Therefore, Xu Qing had high hopes for Yun Qian and the others.

"Yes, Master!"

After Yun Qian left, Xu Qing glanced at Dark Moon, shook his head, and continued to Cultivate... At this moment, east of Xuan Gu Holy City! Above a vast square spanning a thousand miles, this was the True Dragon Square, a plaza personally built by the Xu Family, specifically for hosting the True Dragon Tournament.

Currently, countless Martial Artists stood, their gaze fixed on the two stone tablets in the center of the square. The stone tablets stood a hundred zhang tall. On one of them, two majestic five-clawed golden Dragons were carved, imbuing the tablet with mysterious power!

The other stone tablet had two three-clawed golden Dragon carvings.

In the sky, several figures streaked across like meteors, landing on the referee's platform in the center of the square. They were all dressed in Profound Yellow robes. One of them had an aged and stern face.

This Elder was a Heavenly Venerable Realm Elder of the Profound Yellow Pavilion, and also the host of this True Dragon Tournament.

However, at this moment, he sat in the last seat. The person at the head was a man with a stern face and eyes that exuded endless majesty.

"It's him!"

"Pavilion Master Wang of the Profound Yellow Pavilion!"

Soon, someone in the crowd recognized Wang Changfeng, but the expressions of the strong experts changed slightly.

"So powerful! Is that Aura a Heavenly King?" A middle-aged man frowned.

"No way, brother! Pavilion Master Wang is a Divine Venerable expert!"

The middle-aged man's frown deepened, "What? Divine Venerable? How is this possible? Didn't they say Divine Venerables couldn't appear in the Land of Thousand Domains?"

Someone next to him, hearing this, looked astonished!

"Brother, did you not see the latest news? The Xu Family annihilated the Quan Family, the number one Family in the Hundred Domains Land, and also destroyed twelve major sects. This has spread throughout the Land of Thousand Domains."

"I didn't know! I've been in seclusion for too long, and after hearing the news, I rushed here!" The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised by these words.

The person next to him no longer paid attention to him, but looked towards the referee's platform.

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Changfeng, his eyes narrowed, then suddenly constricted, and he quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

On the referee's platform, Wang Changfeng raised an eyebrow, looking at a certain spot below the platform, somewhat puzzled. However, he then slowly raised his hand, and the square immediately fell silent.

His voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the entire square: "The list of the top three hundred Prodigies of this True Dragon Tournament is now announced. Prodigies whose names are called, please come to the high platform to receive your awards!"

"Now, announcing the true dragon rankings!"

As he spoke, a huge wall of light suddenly appeared in the sky, densely covered with names, each name shining with a golden radiance, as if narrating their glory.

"First place, Luo Yunchuan!"

"Second place, Lin Yu!"

"Third place, Su Yao!"

...As each name was announced, the atmosphere in the square grew increasingly fervent.

The appearance of every name elicited cheers and applause.

After the hundredth name was read, the Profound Yellow Pavilion Elder threw the true dragon rankings into the sky. The true dragon rankings soared against the wind, then transformed into a huge beam of light, landing on the five-clawed stone tablet.

Instantly, the names on the stone tablet became clearly visible, each name like a divine Dragon carved into the tablet, exuding endless majesty.

The true dragon rankings nominations made all the Martial Artists excited and envious.

"Next is the hidden dragon list!"

After all the lists were read, the Profound Yellow Pavilion Elder imprinted the names onto the hidden dragon list just as before.

"Three days from now, all the Prodigies on the list will follow this Venerable to Cloud Mist Mountain to Cultivate in the Myriad Spirit Blood Pool."

"Now, let us cheer for the top three hundred Prodigies of the True Dragon Tournament!"

Wang Changfeng shouted.

The square immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Countless Martial Artists waved their hands, cheering and applauding for the top three hundred Prodigies of the True Dragon Tournament.

At this moment, the entire square was engulfed in cheers and applause, the scene immensely grand.

"Interesting! This Xu Family actually has such an existence. Could it be the one that young man from the Yan Family mentioned? But this Aura doesn't seem to belong to someone from that era!"

"It merely annihilated the branch families of those few forces in the Nine Emperor Upper Domain. This amount of power alone is not enough."

"Xu Family, let this Sovereign see if you are those few families from back then. If so, then the Sacred Dynasty will surely repay the kindness of those years."

In the crowd, the middle-aged man from before quietly vanished. His departure went unnoticed even by those around him, as if no one had ever appeared.

"Teacher, are you sure that Myriad Spirit Blood Pool can improve my Physique?"

On the high platform, a young man mused in his heart.

"Indeed! The Myriad Spirit Blood Pool is the most suitable treasure for Foundation Establishment for Martial Artists below the Venerable Realm. That the Xu Family possesses this treasure undoubtedly indicates they are a Family left over from that great war years ago."

"The Tianguan Realm definitely wouldn't have such a Foundation Establishment treasure!" An aged voice echoed in his mind.

"Disciple, for the next period, your master will hide in the Heavenly Ancient Jade Pendant and no longer show his face. This Xu Family is not simple. The Pavilion Master of the Profound Yellow Pavilion above is not a Divine Venerable at all, but a Sovereign!"

The aged voice spoke again.

"What!!!"

The young man's pupils suddenly constricted.

"This old man can at most shield against a Sovereign's perception, but above a Sovereign, this old man's Soul Power cannot achieve it. You must be careful!"

With that, the old man fell silent.

The young man was none other than Xu Qian, and also the Prodigy ranked sixty-third on this true dragon rankings...
