Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Primordial Blessings! Jade Stone!
The Taiko stone carving exploded with a burst of light.
At this moment, everyone present was staring blankly, with expressions of boundless shock on their faces.
First!
They had thought surpassing the Little Peng King would mean victory, but who would have thought to actually seize first place on the Tianjiao list?
This is the Taiko stone carving, commemorating the most powerful geniuses of ten thousand years.
To achieve first place on such a list, how terrifying would that be?
At this moment, it wasn’t just the Human Race, even the Little Peng King was dumbfounded.
He was very arrogant, but even the most conceited person would feel a sense of respect in the face of such a splendid ranking.
The powerful Tianpeng bloodline was only ninth; what kind of physique would occupy the first place?
"He is just an ordinary mortal... why should he be first on the Tianjiao list?"
The Little Peng King fell silent, unable to understand why such a situation occurred.
...
The world fell silent, and everyone was shocked, unable to recover for a long time.
At this moment, Su Changqing felt a bit panicked.
He thought getting a rank around seventh or eighth, being able to surpass the Little Peng King was already enough, who knew he would reach first place?
It wasn’t just others, even he himself couldn’t believe it.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay."
Amidst the whirl of thoughts, Su Changqing decided to leave quietly while others were still lost in their shock.
Just then, the upper Taiko stone carving emitted waves of light, causing him to briefly lose focus.
When he opened his eyes again, a name engraved on the stone pillar was slowly fading.
"Dongfang Fenghua?"
Looking at the name, Su Changqing was stunned and then murmured in confusion, "Is it going to replace it with my name?"
"No, I saw the previous names were recorded by the Taiko stone carving itself."
Thinking this way, Su Changqing suddenly became somewhat enlightened.
Right, those who could let the Taiko stone carving record them had all surpassed a hundred on the Tianjiao list.
It seems his falsification hadn’t met the standards, so he must write it himself?
Thinking this way, he combined his two fingers, and from the void, wrote three large characters with a flourish.
[Su Changqing]
Shh!
The moment these three characters appeared, they made a direct imprint on the stone pillar.
At the same time, a streak of luminous white light that made the Taiko stone carving tremble lightly descended into Su Changqing’s mind.
"Oh? There’s a reward as well?"
Su Changqing’s eyes lit up, and he closed his eyes to look inward to contemplate.
What he saw was a crystal-clear jade stone, forcefully squeezing out the golden giant sword to occupy the center of his mind space.
The surface of the jade stone was covered with faint, intricate golden patterns.
These patterns appeared to be alive, constantly transforming and flowing, as though they were portraying the cycles of life and death.
...
"Is this given by the Taiko stone carving, or secretly bestowed by the elders of the Little Immortal Sect?"
Su Changqing left the Taiko stone carving with a look of confusion and came to Xuan Qingzi’s side.
At this moment, Xuan Qingzi hadn’t recovered, with lingering shock in his eyes as he looked at Su Changqing beside him.
Although he guessed that Su Changqing would surpass the Little Peng King, he never thought Su Changqing would directly rush to first place!
This was no longer surpassing but crushing!
"What kind of physique could crush the Tianpeng bloodline?"
Xuan Qingzi fell silent, it seemed there was no other explanation than the Emperor Body.
"Huh?"
As if recalling something, Xuan Qingzi looked at Su Changqing beside him and asked, "Didn’t you receive the Taiko blessing?"
He hadn’t seen the Taiko stone carving condense Su Changqing’s name just now, nor had there been any stream of light descending.
"Blessing? I guess so."
Su Changqing said puzzled, "Just a stone whose purpose I don’t understand."
"Stone?"
Xuan Qingzi was slightly stunned, "What kind of stone?"
"A piece of jade stone with engraved golden patterns..."
Su Changqing briefly described the characteristics of the jade stone.
"Jade stone... golden patterns..."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qingzi’s eyes suddenly widened, his scalp tingling as he muttered, "Creation... jade stone?"
Creation Jade Stone, a treasure at the level of the Great Emperor’s Divine Gold, and among the most top-tier Divine Gold!
This Divine Gold is extremely rare because it is alive!
It would spontaneously evolve its own Dao, birthing incredibly powerful Divine Techniques, and was extremely compatible with its owner!
Creation Jade Stone, almost a naturally born divine artifact, it will grow alongside its owner until the pinnacle!
"How big is the jade stone?"
Xuan Qingzi swallowed, asking with a trembling voice.
Once a Great Saint obtained just a thumb-sized piece of Creation Jade Stone, ultimately growing into a top-tier Great Saint Divine Soldier.
The Dao nurtured by that Creation Jade Stone was not only extremely compatible with its owner but also complemented the Great Saint’s Dao techniques, able to confront quasi-emperors!
"Being the Taiko blessing for the first Tianjiao, wouldn’t it be small?"
As Xuan Qingzi speculated in his mind, Su Changqing gestured with his hand to roughly measure.
"About the size of a millstone, but shaped like a silver disk, like a glowing moon."
Xuan Qingzi was struck as if by lightning, mouth agape and silent for a long time.
Millstone! Great Emperor’s Divine Gold!
He found it hard to compare these two things.
On Cangyan Continent, even a thumb-sized piece of Divine Gold could sell for astronomical prices, what about millstone-sized Divine Gold?
And it’s the top-grade Creation Jade Stone among Divine Gold?
"A naturally born... Emperor’s Weapon!"
At this moment, the only thought in Xuan Qingzi’s mind was this.
"Daoist, do you know what this thing is used for?"
Su Changqing asked curiously.
Xuan Qingzi was silent for a long time, finally patting Su Changqing’s shoulder,
"After you reach the full completion of your realm and open your Life Palace, remember, apart from that jade stone, don’t choose anything else as your life Dao instrument."
"This thing... will follow you for life."
Su Changqing seemed to understand incompletely and nodded.
...
While Su Changqing and Xuan Qingzi were conversing in low voices, the geniuses present gradually came back to their senses.
However... the expressions on their faces were somewhat strange at the moment.
Everyone present was indeed initially shocked, but gradually sensed something was amiss.
It wasn’t that Su Changqing was not strong, it was that he was too strong, strong to the point of being somewhat unreal.
Sword, Confucian, golden patterns, and finally some unknown phenomenon.
These talents, any one taken out would be a peerless genius, yet here they were seen in one person?
And finally, a blessing completely different from others who entered the Tianjiao list.
This led to other thoughts in the hearts of the crowd.
"Could it be... that the elders secretly intervened?"
Thinking this, the crowd of geniuses immediately looked down at their noses, their noses at their hearts, closing their mouths and saying nothing.
However.
At this moment, the Little Peng King gradually understood.
He suddenly turned his head towards Su Changqing and shouted angrily,
"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe your aptitude could be ranked first on the Tianjiao list!"
"I will seal all my cultivation, and fight me at least once, let me see if you deserve your first place!"
As his words fell, the Little Peng King’s figure moved to rush toward Su Changqing.
But at this moment, an elder of the Little Immortal Sect snorted coldly and waved his sleeve, just about to control the Little Peng King.
Suddenly, a gold claw that covered the sky reached out from the broken void, grabbed the Little Peng King and instantly disappeared.
The elder relaxed his heart slightly, glanced at Su Changqing, then looked at everyone and spoke:
"Test completers, enter the sect!"
