Chapter 26: The Emergence of the Human List

```

Human List!

Rumors say it was the Immortal Tao Emperor who mysteriously created the list.

Every cultivator on it is currently on par with a Saint Heir.

Their talents are exceptional, and they have the chance to become an emperor in the future!

Moreover, almost every cultivator on the list has reached the Taoist Palace Cultivation level, and occasionally one or two may be at the Divine Bridge, displaying a heaven-defying talent, which is extremely rare.

"Master, according to what Li the cultivator said, the Human List will appear in the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire City in less than two hours," Wudao Tian replied.

The opening of the Human List was learned from the mouth of Li Wan Hua.

Each time the Human List is opened, it's after three years.

This time, for some reason, the opening time has been moved up by half a year.

Li Wan Hua learned of this from his mother and thus left the Huaxian Sect.

He prepared to enter the Human List for tempering and to exchange pointers with all geniuses from Dongzhou.

This world is divided into Five Continents, and there are various forbidden areas, oceans, etc.

As far as is currently known, there are a total of six Human Lists.

They appear on the Five Continents and in the forbidden areas.

Cultivators who step into the Human List can choose whether to enter or not.

Most will choose to enter the Human List to temper themselves with the geniuses from all places.

It's not just a contest of cultivation level; more importantly, it's about the rewards!

The world within the Human List was arranged by the Immortal Tao Emperor.

Inside, there are various demon beasts and Exotic Beasts, not to mention.

There are also various tombs, and Saint's Tombs have even appeared before.

Entering cultivators can obtain treasures while also competing for rankings on the Human List!

Defeating an opponent, one can obtain the opponent's Token.

The more Tokens obtained, the higher the ranking.

After the Human List ranking ends, the cultivators ranked at the top will receive a piece of map.

It records the treasure locations arranged by the Immortal Tao Emperor; it is said that there are many treasures inside.

Even treasures refined by Saints are included!

Some even say that inside there is the legacy of the Immortal Tao Emperor.

But this legacy is not complete.

Because above the Human List, there is the Earthly List, Heavenly List!

To ascend to the next list, one needs to rank within the top three hundred of the Human List!

Only then are they qualified to enter the next Earthly List.

The cultivators entering the Earthly List naturally need higher talent and cultivation!

"Li Wan Hua, is the Human List really about to open?" asked Zhan Wuchang, who was carrying the sedan.

His face is now blackened!

The strength from being struck by the Thunder Dragon has not yet healed.

Standing beside the sedan, Li Wan Hua's hair was burned off, looking like a little monk.

"Of course it's going to open, why would I deceive the master?" Li Wan Hua said.

Though he possesses an Immortal Physique, he was almost crippled by the descent of the Thunder Dragon.

Had Yang Yan not dragged them out of the ground, they would be killed by any cultivator they met, plundered of everything.

They, covered in wounds, had no ability to run anymore.

They could only submit one by one to Yang Yan, without any power to resist.

"How come I, a Zhan Family member, am not aware of this?" Zhan Wuchang retorted.

Ling Hu Chongtian also spoke up.

"Yeah, my Sword Sect wasn't informed either!

And Old Bone, do you know about it?"

The creature from the Divine Race still looked like a phantom, its face indiscernible.

But after submitting to Yang Yan, it reported its own name.

Bone!

As for why he appears indiscernible, he's not sure either, only stating it's because he is not yet of age.

Whether he is a human or a monster,

He himself cannot say clearly.

When asked about his age, he only knows that he has lived for roughly five hundred years.

A member of the Divine Race only comes of age at one thousand five hundred years!

In terms of age, he is the eldest among those present.

Ling Hu Chongtian calls him Old Bone very adeptly!

"No," Bone said solemnly.

He seems not to like talking much, his words are few, and there's a sense of conciseness to them.

"Listen, even Old Bone, who has lived five hundred years and seen a lot, doesn't know about it.

Li Wan Hua, don't you trick us.

It's okay to fool us, but don't fool the master!" Ling Hu Chongtian continued speaking to the interior of the sedan.

"Right, master?"

After acknowledging their master, the several individuals, although having other thoughts in their hearts.

```

But all knew that they were currently no match for Yang Yan, especially since all of them had sustained injuries.

And the descent of the Thunder Dragon had hurt their very essence, making it even more difficult for them to oppose Yang Yan.

Thus, one by one, they temporarily went into hiding and submitted to Yang Yan.

What they did not know was that during Yang Yan's passage through the Heavenly Tribulation, the Emperor's Power he exuded was greatly restrained.

Otherwise, these individuals would have been crushed instantly and died on the spot!

Yang Yan was seated inside the sedan chair.

He couldn't be bothered with Ling Hu Chongtian's questions.

Li Wan Hua was now his servant, and no matter what, the other party wouldn't deceive him for the time being.

Yang Yan still had this much trust.

Besides, Ling Hu Chongtian was a garrulous fellow.

Compared to the beings of the Divine Race and their bone, he was the complete opposite.

Getting involved in their argument was less appealing than asking the Yaochi Saintess by his side some secrets.

Let them entertain themselves.

"How could you short-sighted people compare with our master.

The Zhan Family, Sword Sect, Divine Race.

Who among you could know who my mother is!" Li Wan Hua arrogantly declared.

When it came to his mother, he felt immense respect and pride.

"The premature appearance of the Human List half a year in advance can only be known if a Xuantian Sect's Tiansuan Disciple calculated it.

Could it be that your mother is a Tiansuan Disciple of the Xuantian Sect?" Old Bone spoke up at this moment.

Li Wan Hua glanced sideways.

"You, a member of the Divine Race, are old in years but weak in Cultivation.

You look strange, but you know a lot indeed.

Correct, my mother is a Tiansuan Disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

She foresaw the Human List's early appearance half a year in advance and informed me!"

Old Bone harrumphed coldly.

"I've already told you, I've lived for five hundred years, which is like fifteen for you nowadays.

If anything, I am younger than you."

"Fine, five hundred years old then, just accept it.

There's no shame in that compared to me," said Li Wan Hua.

Old Bone fell silent.

He was not good at talking, and knowing he could not outtalk Li Wan Hua, he chose to remain silent.

Ling Hu Chongtian suddenly spoke up.

"Li Wan Hua, your mother could predict the emergence of the Heavenly List.

How come she didn't foresee this disaster for you upon descending the mountain?"

Li Wan Hua sighed.

"I possess the Immortal Physique; my mother dares not to make random predictions, fearing it may leak divine secrets and harm herself."

Ling Hu Chongtian was speechless.

"You really know how to put on an act; even this you can turn into an act!"

Li Wan Hua glanced at Ling Hu Chongtian.

"This is natural to me, which you can't learn. Carry the sedan well.

Be careful, or I'll whip you to make you go faster."

Ling Hu Chongtian really felt like hitting someone.

This Li Wan Hua was asking for it.

Even more than himself!

"Shadow Assassin, now you speak.

Isn't it good serving the master inside? Yet you had to be stubborn.

Now you have to carry the sedan, making Li Wan Hua stand."

The Shadow Assassin felt wronged too.

"I didn't want to..."

"Eh, young people, they just don't understand," said Ling Hu Chongtian.

Inside the sedan, Yaochi Saintess Xue Ni Chang, who was recovering, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Mas... Master!" She called out 'Master.'

She really couldn't bring herself to say the word 'Master'.

"What's the matter?"

"I feel the call of the Human List, it seems that I have made it onto the list," Xue Ni Chang said.

Made it onto the list?

The call of the Human List?

"It seems the Human List is indeed about to open."

Following that, Bi Yue, Jing Yin, Jingxin, Li Wan Hua, Old Bone, and Ling Hu Chongtian all felt something.

One after another, they looked up to see above the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire City,

A huge golden list slowly unfurling.

On it, the first name was Ao Tian!

"The Young Master of the Divine Sword Manor known as the Little Sword God, Ao Tian!" Li Wan Hua declared solemnly.
