Human List!
The rumor was that it was a list created by the mysterious and unfathomable Immortal Dao Emperor.
Every cultivator on it was comparable to a Saint Heir of today.
Gifted beyond measure, a person with the potential to become an emperor in the future!
Moreover, every cultivator who made the list often had Daoist Palace cultivation, and occasionally there would be one or two at the Divine Bridge level, which was extremely rare.
"Master, according to what Li said, there were less than two hours until the Human List appeared in Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire City," Wudao Tian answered.
The opening of the Human List was known from Li Wan Hua's words.
Each opening of the Human List occurred three years later.
This time, for some reason, the opening was advanced by half a year.
Li Wan Hua learned about this from his mother, so he left the Huaxian Sect.
He prepared to enter the Human List to train and compete with all the geniuses from Dongzhou.
This world was divided into five continents, as well as various forbidden zones, oceans, and more.
There were six known Human Lists in total.
They appeared in the five continents and forbidden zones.
Cultivators who stepped into the Human List could choose to enter or not.
Most would choose to enter the Human List to train with geniuses from various places.
It was not just about competing in cultivation but more about the rewards!
The world within the Human List was arranged by the Immortal Dao Emperor.
Inside, there were various demon beasts and not to mention Exotic Beasts.
There were also various tombs, and even a Saint's Tomb had appeared before.
The cultivators who entered could obtain treasures while ranking in the Human List!
By defeating opponents, they could take the tokens from their hands.
The more tokens obtained, the higher the ranking.
After the Human List rankings ended, the top-ranked cultivators would receive a map.
It contained the location of the Immortal Dao Emperor's treasures, said to have many treasures within.
There were treasure weapons refined by Saints!
Some even said that within it was the legacy of the Immortal Dao Emperor.
Only, this legacy was not complete.
Because, beyond the Human List, there was the Earthly List and the Heavenly List!
To advance to the next list, one needed to be in the top 300 of the Human List!
Only then would one qualify for the next Earthly List.
Cultivators who entered the Earthly List naturally had higher talent and cultivation requirements!
"Li Wan Hua, is the Human List really going to open?" Zhan Wuchang asked while carrying the sedan chair.
His face was still charred!
He had not yet recovered from the ferocity of being struck by the Thunder Dragon.
Standing by the sedan chair, Li Wan Hua's hair was burnt off, making him look like a little monk.
"Of course, it was going to open. How could I deceive the master?" Li Wan Hua said.
He indeed possessed an Immortal Physique, but being battered by the descent of the Thunder Dragon left him half-crippled.
If Yang Yan had not dragged them out from the ground, they would likely be killed by any cultivator they encountered and have everything looted.
With their wounds, they could not escape.
They could only submit one by one to Yang Yan, with no strength to resist.
"How come no one from the Zhan Family knows about this?" Zhan Wuchang retorted.
Ling Hu Chongtian also spoke up.
"Yeah, my Sword Sect isn't aware either!
And Old Bone, do you know anything?"
The creature from the Divine Race remained like an illusion, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
But after submitting to Yang Yan, he reported his name.
Gu!
As for why people could not see him clearly, he did not know either, only saying it was because he had not yet reached adulthood.
Whether he was human or a monster.
Even he could not say clearly.
When asked how long he had lived, all he knew was that he had lived for about five hundred years.
The Divine Race matured at one thousand five hundred years!
His age was the largest among those present.
Ling Hu Chongtian familiarly called him Old Bone!
"No," Gu said gruffly.
He did not seem to like speaking much, his words few and concise.
"Listen, even Old Bone, with his five hundred years of wisdom, does not know.
Li Wan Hua, stop fooling us.
It's okay to fool us, but don't fool the master!" Ling Hu Chongtian continued speaking toward the sedan chair.
"Isn't that right, master?"
After recognizing their master, though they all had other thoughts in their minds,
they knew they were currently no match for Yang Yan, especially since they were all injured.
And the Thunder Dragon's descent had hurt their essence, making it even harder to oppose Yang Yan.
So they temporarily lay low, submitting to Yang Yan.
Only they did not know that when Yang Yan underwent the Heavenly Tribulation, the Emperor's Power exuded from his body was very restrained.
Otherwise, these people would be crushed and killed on the spot!
Yang Yan sat inside the sedan chair.
He could not be bothered by Ling Hu Chongtian's questions.
Li Wan Hua was now his servant and, no matter what, would not deceive him for the time being.
That trust Yang Yan still had.
Besides, Ling Hu Chongtian talked far too much.
Compared to the creature from the Divine Race, Gu, it was like two extremes.
Rather than joining their debate, he thought to ask the Yaochi Saintess beside him about some secrets.
Let them entertain themselves.
"How could someone like you, with such a shallow vision, compare to the master?
What Zhan Family, Sword Sect, Divine Race.
Who among you can know who my mother is!" Li Wan Hua said proudly.
Speaking of his mother, he was incredibly respectful and proud.
"To know the Human List appeared six months early, only a Tiansuan Disciple from the Xuantian Sect could calculate that.
Is your mother a Tiansuan Disciple of the Xuantian Sect?" Gu spoke then.
Li Wan Hua glanced sideways.
"You, a creature of the Divine Race, being old yet weak in cultivation,
you look strange but indeed know quite a bit.
Yes, my mother is a Tiansuan Disciple of the Xuantian Sect.
She calculated the early appearance of the Human List and informed me!"
Gu snorted coldly.
"I have already said I have lived five hundred years, equivalent to you being fifteen now.
Speaking of which, I am younger than you."
"Five hundred years is five hundred years, just admit it.
Not being as good as me is nothing to be ashamed of," Li Wan Hua said.
Gu fell silent.
He was not good at talking, knowing he could not out-talk Li Wan Hua, he chose silence.
Suddenly, Ling Hu Chongtian spoke.
"Li Wan Hua, if your mother could calculate the emergence of the Heavenly List,
how did she not calculate the calamity you would face when coming down the mountain?"
Li Wan Hua sighed.
"I possess the Immortal Physique, so my mother dared not calculate recklessly, fearing to disclose the secret and harm herself."
Ling Hu Chongtian was speechless.
"You really know how to put on a show. You could even show off with that!"
Li Wan Hua glanced at Ling Hu Chongtian.
"I was born this way, something you can't learn, just keep carrying that sedan chair.
Be careful, or I'll whip you to make you run faster."
Ling Hu Chongtian really felt like hitting someone.
This Li Wan Hua was too much.
Even more insufferable than himself!
"Shadow Assassin, what about you?
Isn't serving the master inside better? Why so stubborn?
Now you're carrying the sedan chair, letting Li Wan Hua stand."
Shadow Assassin felt quite wronged too.
"I didn't want to either..."
"Young people just don't understand," Ling Hu Chongtian said.
Inside the sedan, the Yaochi Saintess Xue Ni Chang, who was recovering, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ma... Master!" she called, "Master."
She really could not bring herself to say master.
"What's the matter?"
"I felt the call of the Human List; I seemed to have been listed," Xue Ni Chang said.
Listed?
The call of the Human List?
"It seemed the Human List was truly about to open."
Then Leng Bi Yue, Jing Yin, Jingxin, Li Wan Hua, Gu, and Ling Hu Chongtian all felt something in their hearts.
One by one, they looked up, only to see above the faintly appearing Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire City.
A giant golden list slowly unfolded.
Atop it, the first name was, Ao Tian!
"Ao Tian, the young master of the Divine Sword Manor, known as the Little Sword God!" Li Wan Hua stated solemnly.
