36: Jiang Yuan's crazy idea
Above the Emperors Son Palace plaza, the massive golden ranking list, like a scroll unrolled by a Heavenly God, spanned across the firmament of the entire Emperor Immortal Great World.
Every golden character on the ranking list contained the aura of the Heavenly Dao, clearly reflecting into the eyes of every living being.
[prodigy physique ranking]
The five simple characters seemed to contain supreme prestige, causing the Souls of all who saw them to tremble.
"It really is the heaven and earth golden ranking!" Jiang Zhan's expression was extremely ugly. "Damn it, why is it so early!"
Jiang Yuan's heart also sank.
Even the Old Ancestor's calculations can be wrong? The Heavenly Dao is really giving no Face!
I just started warming up the stage, preparing to hook the fish step by step, and you just flipped over my trump card?
How am I supposed to play now?
Just as Jiang Yuan was frantically complaining in his mind, an aged and helpless voice directly sounded in the minds of him and all the high-ranking members of the Jiang Family.
"This matter, don't blame Fifth Old Ancestor."
It was the First Ancestor's voice!
Immediately after, another slightly younger will fluctuation, carrying a hint of wry laughter, also transmitted over. It was Fifth Old Ancestor.
"My calculation wasn't wrong. Under normal circumstances, the golden ranking would indeed only appear in fifty-three years, but... there is a legend that we all previously overlooked."
"What legend?" Jiang Zhan quickly asked.
"The Golden Great Era!"
The First Ancestor's voice became extremely solemn. "Legend has it that when an era simultaneously sees the emergence of fifty or more Saint Body-level Prodigies, it will trigger the Heavenly Dao and prematurely usher in the Golden Great Era!"
"At that time, the heaven and earth golden ranking will immediately descend, announcing it to the world, where the Myriad Daos contend, and the Emperor's Road reopens!"
Fifty Saint Bodies?!
Jiang Zhan and all the Clan Elders gasped, then simultaneously turned their gazes toward Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan was also stunned, his heart skipping a beat.
Holy crap, there’s a hidden setting like this?
I've only just managed to settle a few wives. The saint spirit pills and Spirit Ascension Pills rewarded by the System combined,
have only created a few Saint Bodies. Counting Qin Yuebai and her daughter, that’s only five at most.
Even adding the few that the Jiang Family originally had, it's impossible to gather fifty!
"Yuaner, there's no need to panic."
As if sensing Jiang Yuan's confusion, the First Ancestor's voice sounded again,
"What the heaven and earth golden ranking lists are not just the new generation of Prodigies. It encompasses all existing beings in the current era, including those Old Monsters who have long been famous or even self-Sealed."
"As long as their Life Imprint still exists in this Great World, they will be counted."
"In other words..." Jiang Zhan's expression became even stranger. "On this ranking list, there might even be Quasi-Emperors, or even... Great Emperors?"
"That's right."
The First Ancestor's voice carried a hint of emotion. "This is an unprecedented Great Era. All the Demons and Monsters hiding behind the scenes will be revealed one by one by this golden ranking. Our Jiang Family can no longer hide."
In the short moment they were communicating, the first name finally began to appear on the heaven and earth golden ranking.
[prodigy physique ranking 100th Place: Innate Dao Embryo (Divine Physique), Qin Mengyao, Jade Pool Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land.]
"Hiss! The Jade Pool Saintess is only ranked 100th?"
"How is this possible! The Innate Dao Embryo is a top-tier Divine Physique, an existence highly likely to Attain the Dao and become a Quasi-Emperor in the future. How is she only at the bottom?"
"Just how terrifying... is this ranking list?"
Everyone in the entire Emperor Immortal Great World who saw this ranking was dumbfounded.
Inside the Yaochi Holy Land, Qin Mengyao looked at her name on the ranking list, and her beautiful Face, which had always been calm as an ancient well, showed emotion for the first time.
She was actually... only 100th place?
Immediately after, the names on the ranking list began to refresh rapidly.
[prodigy physique ranking 99th Place: Primordial Spirit Body (Dao Body), Ji Yue, Princess of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty.]
...Familiar or unfamiliar names continuously flashed on the ranking list.
The appearance of every name represented a Prodigy capable of suppressing an entire era!
What shocked everyone was that these Prodigies, whom they considered top-tier, couldn't even enter the top fifty on this ranking list!
Finally, when the ranking list refreshed to the 50th place, everyone's breathing stopped.
[prodigy physique ranking 50th Place: Vast Cold Glazed Saint Body, Jiang Yue! Affiliated Force: Jiang Family!]
"Saint Body! A Saint Body has finally appeared!"
"Jiang Yue? Who is that? I haven't heard of such a person in the Jiang Family!"
"I know her! She is a Disciple from a collateral branch of the Jiang Family. She used to be the Supreme Yin Divine Physique. How did she suddenly become a Saint Body?"
Just as everyone was discussing and hadn't recovered from the shock, the ranking list refreshed again!
[prodigy physique ranking 49th Place: Mysterious Yellow Indestructible Body, Li Xuan! Affiliated Force: Sky Profound Sword Sect!]
[prodigy physique ranking 48th Place: Pure Yang Dao Physique, He! Affiliated Force: None!]
...[prodigy physique ranking 39th Place: Nine Suns Burning Heaven Saint Body, Jiang Yan! Affiliated Force: Jiang Family!]
"The Jiang Family actually produced a second Saint Body?"
"Truly the Jiang Family of the Eternal One Emperor! The contemporary Imperial Clan is truly terrifying."
"This Jiang Yan... why does he have the same name as that Jiang Yan who possesses the Burning Heaven Divine Physique? It can't be a coincidence, right?"
"I know that Jiang Yan too, wait! Unless he died, how could he not be on the list with his Divine Physique Aptitude? Could it be..."
Jiang Yuan looked at the ranking list, wearing an expression of utter despair.
His original plan was to proceed slowly, first using the example of Qin Yuebai and her daughter to whet everyone's appetite, and then wait for Bai Qingxue to give birth to a child,
acquire new rewards, and then gradually release more Saint Bodies, slowly dragging the entire Emperor Immortal Great World into the fray.
But now, this sudden appearance of the heaven and earth golden ranking directly flipped over all his trump cards!
How is he supposed to play now? Did it just fast-forward straight to the grand finale?
No way!
Since he couldn't hide it, he might as well not hide it at all!
If he was going to play, he would play a big game!
A hint of madness flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes.
He raised his head, looked at the continuously refreshing ranking list, then looked at the Clan Elders beside him who were also in shock, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Eldest Uncle!"
"I have a crazy idea!"
Jiang Zhan seemed to be able to guess the idea of his nephew.
But that idea was too bold, too crazy, making him momentarily hesitant to believe it.
"That's right!"
Jiang Yuan nodded heavily, his voice decisive and firm,
"Since the trump cards have all been revealed, there's no point in hiding them anymore! Rather than waiting for those people to react and engage in various petty tricks in the dark, we should take the initiative to attack!"
He scanned all the Clan Elders present and said clearly, word by word, "I want everyone under heaven to understand that what they see today is only the beginning! The glory of our Jiang Family has just begun!"
Jiang Yuan's words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of every Clan Elder.
They looked at this young man, only eighteen years old, looking at his Face, which was slightly flushed with excitement,
yet filled with endless confidence and dominance. The passion in their hearts was completely ignited at this moment!
That's right!
What is there to fear?
They are the Jiang Family! The number one Imperial Clan of the current era!
They have a Great Emperor of the current era backing them, who is already on the way back, and several sleeping Great Emperor Old Ancestors are still resting in the Ancestral Land!
In terms of foundation and strength, who can contend with them?
Since the secret couldn't be hidden, they might as well lay their cards on the table and fight!
Let the whole world see just how strong their Jiang Family truly is!
"Yuaner is right!"
Jiang Shouzhuo, the most fiery-tempered, slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted excitedly,
"Hide my ass! Since it's come to this, we have to play big! Let them know what the hell surprise means!"
Jiang Zhan looked at everyone's reaction, slammed the armrest of his Throne, and stood up.
A terrifying pressure belonging to a Quasi-Emperor swept across the entire Deliberation Hall.
"Good! Then let's be crazy for once!"
His voice was loud and filled with undeniable dominance.
"Pass down this Patriarch's order!"
"Immediately bring Jiang Hao, Jiang Haori, Jiang Shan, and Jiang Chen to the Emperors Son Palace Altar!"
"Today, our Jiang Family will add four more Saint Bodies!"
